Hey There,
I may have jumped the gun on this one. You see, finding that I
had no "admin" account as such, I figured that you probably meant
root, so I tried that command thinking it would get me into my
root or administrator's account. I was told to do
"apt-get install root", which I did. Now, when ever I type root,
I find myself in "root, and typing exit takes me to a second
root, thence to a third root and so on. I do not think this is
what you were talking about, so I may need to uninstall this root
program, but I do not know the uninstall command from the prompt.
I then did as you instructed and did
"useradd riverwind audio <cr>". This didn't seem to effect my
groups lineup, so I can only conclude that I was not in my admin
account. When wishing to affect any changes to my system such as
installations and the like, my machine seems to prefer that I use
sudo, as it prompts me for my administrator's password.
If I indeed have an administrator's account, how might I access
it? I do know that audio is not among my groups when typing
groups from the prompt.
cheerio,
Riv

A repair is in order when broken or corrupted packages got downloaded.
A repair in aptitude doesn't usually do installs though it might
uninstall a few things.

Here is the latest script, which you'll doubtless find to be
pretty self explanatory. I suppose I am just trying to figure out
where to go from here. Aptitude has quite a few switches, and I
thought that the -f switch would be sure to work, as it is the
switch that tells the utility to aggressively seek out and repair
any and all possibilities.

I am reattempting a response to Jude Dashiel, because the script
that I attached to my earlier message was far too long. I had
forgotten to turn off the automatic scripting function, so
there's no telling what the final product must have looked like.
As you might recall, I was trying to describe certain problems I
was having running sound-juicer on my Linux-box. I thought it
would be a good idea to provide a script of the operation in the
hopes that someone would be able to have a look at the output and
give me some idea as to the cause of the problem. I could then
hopefully go on to come up with a resolution for the problem its
self.
So, without further ado, here is the script to the original error
message, which will be followed after following up on Jude's
suggestion that I try aptitude with the "-r" switch in the hopes
of possibly snagging extra needed relative utilities.
