I can’t install anything with my package manager or through the command line, because if I do, for example,
root@lojjik:/home/lojjik# sudo apt-get install xine-ui
Reading package lists… Done
Building dependency tree
Reading state information… Done
You might want to run `apt-get -f install’ to correct these:
The following packages have unmet dependencies:
konqueror: Depends: kcontrol (= 4:3.5.6-0ubuntu20.2) but 4:3.5.6-0ubuntu20.1 is to be installed
Depends: kfind (= 4:3.5.6-0ubuntu20.2) but 4:3.5.6-0ubuntu20.1 is to be installed
xine-ui: Depends: libcaca0 (>= 0.99.beta11-1) but it is not going to be installed
Depends: libcucul0 (>= 0.99.beta11-1) but it is not going to be installed
Depends: libxine1-ffmpeg but it is not going to be installed
E: Unmet dependencies. Try ‘apt-get -f install’ with no packages (or specify a solution).
Only way I can think of is to re install the kernel. Any other ways? HELP PLEASE! This is urgent.

What happens when you follow the instructions? “run ‘apt-get -f install’”?
I assume you had a working Ubuntu Gnome desktop when you started messing around. (If you did not, you should have gotten that fixed before wading into deeper waters!) If you can recall what you did, try undoing it to get back to a functional system. Then start over, one piece at a time, preferably with synaptic, since it will give you more information before you press enter.
Someone else recommended reinstalling. If you can’t undo that which you did, a reinstall may be the easiest. You should also be going to the ubuntu help forums and using google. This is NOT the place to get detailed instructions on fixing your problem.

I would install Kubuntu if you want to run KDE applications such as konqueror, Ubuntu uses the gnome desktop and will run kde applications but as you see it can be difficult to install due to dependencies, you’re not running the kde desktop.http://www.kubuntu.com
