Hi

I've been an ubuntu user for several years and just installed kubuntu 11.4 this morning. Nice desktop and feel. Easily navigable. I like.

But i can't download codecs for media files. Over the years i've used "http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=766683" to update my system but i get no joy this time. When trying to install codecs through amarok or KpackageKit i get one of the following messages:
1.
another package manager is open (which shouldn't be the case as i've just logged in)
2.
W: Failed to fetch gzip:/var/lib/apt/lists/partial/mg.archive.ubuntu.com_ubuntu_dists_natty_main_binary-i386_Packages Hash Sum mismatch
E: Some index files failed to download. They have been ignored, or old ones used instead.
3.
The following packages have unmet dependencies:

I'm using kubuntu 11.4 on a fujitsu-siemens amillo pi2530. I've enable the natty universe and multiverse repositries. I've switched it off and rebooted the system. The same happens for dragon player.

these are not KDE packages you are trying to install, my guess is your repos are not quite right but I don't use Kubuntu so can't make suggestions, will suggest you post on Kubuntu forum as this is a distro not a KDE problem

was this a new install or did you add the KDE repo's to an existing Ubuntu install? can you check the repos you have enable and make sure they are all 11.4
