Yes it is a new install and the partition was formatted. I load it after installing lindows I can't say for such if the problem was there before I did that. But I believe once I installed Open is I started having trouble.
Yes when I log in as root I get the Gnome desktop.
Redhat did complete the install.
I have one partition with /home/user/and all the directorys
one for swap
one for bootloader I believe.
Not sure if this has anything to do with it but the Distro is called BLAG
its a multimedia version of RH 9. When loading it looks just like a normal RH install besides the color that they used for the installer.
-
Well I quess its not the Open Office after all. I just did a reboot and I got the same boxes with red circles and the minus sign in the middle. Also the task bar is at the top and the back ground is all black.
Is it possible that the hard drive partition is jazzed up. I am dual booted with xp and RH 9 is on a 10 gig partition that I use to test different distro's that appell to me. I've probally loaded this partition about 30-40 times :x
I can log in as root fine but if I try to log in as the user it says that the home directory /home/user appears to be unavailable. At least its nice about it. ;(
Or could my installation disc be bad
Thanks Hollywood 8)

Thanks for the responce guys. What I had to do was reload RH 9. now how do I get gnumeric to open windows excel files. What I have are xlr files which gnumeric does not recognize if I change them to xls files it is recognized but pops up a error that it is not a OLE file and maybe to old to open???????? I also can not get word docs to open either is there a site that explains how to set this up??
Thanks 8)

Is there any reason of incompatibilty with OO 1.1 and RH 9. I have installed it using synaptic and when I start up my box I get a half dozen or so errors and the user screen has rectangular boxes in the with unreconizable icons/shapes in them. All of the error codes have to do with Gnome. I tried to uninstall OO but the errors are still there I have to reinstall the OS to get rid of them.
Any Ideas

Thanks Dan that did it

I'm running Blag a Red Hat 9 distro. I removed one of the little divders that is in the lower panel. Now when ever I open something that program does not appear in the bar so if I minimize it it disappears completely. If go to open up the browser it pops up a box saying that it is already in use. Duh :x
I know that but how do I get the divder back so my programs will appear in the panel. Sorry if I'm vag on this one
Thanks

147 hits ??? I'll take that as a no ;(

Dan don't be sorry you helped me more in the last few weeks then anyone has over the last year it was a extreme pleasure to have someone take the time and help out rather then reply back RTFM. If I figure this out I will let you know what I did
Thanks Again

I think I ran into a major snafu with this one. No matter what I do it tells me that gtk is installed but in terminal it say's its not???
-
Sorry myself I worked throught he last error message. This is what I get now when I go try and install it it say's that the package is already installed??? I updated synaptic and tried again with the same results.

When looking in synaptic for the gtk-config package it is not listed but when I download the rpm and install it it tells me that it is already installed.
When serching synaptic for GTK+ it shows this package gtk+devel which is installed.
At the end of the error it reads Is gtk-config in path? how do I check for that?
Glad you came back I thought I scared you away

Dapper this is what I get from the terminal but if I try to install the package by double clicking the icon it says that the package is already installed. Is there a way around this. If I'm understanding this package it is for help on installing or running a GUI package. Since all is I want is to install a driver I shouldn't need the pkgconfig anyway's correct?? ;(
Or am I missing something here :x

As you can see I'm getting there. This is just the last bit of what I ahve been doing.
But quess what it needs something else
Should I get rid of the red carpet deal??? I have to tell you I have learned more about linux in the last 2-3 days then in the last year I can not tell you how much I apprecaite your patience with me on this. When reading in a manual or getting other advise it has never been explained the way you have
Thank you
I would think from what we have done so far I'm one step from getting this driver installed
-
I also cd /var/lib/rpm/packages when changing permissions to no avail. I also went into the directory manually and checked the permissions and they were set at 644 I tried again nothing I then changed to777 and still zip. :x
-
Your going to love this one ;( I logged in has root because nothing was making sense so here is what I came up with.
root@01flht root]# chmod 644 /var/lib/rpm /packages
chmod: failed to get attributes of `/packages': No such file or directory
[root@01flht root]# chown rpm /var/lib/rpm/packages
chown: failed to get attributes of `/var/lib/rpm/packages': No such file or directory
[root@01flht root]#
I also downloaded the rpm and then double clicked on the rpm icon for gcc. A box pops up and reads that it is preparing for system update / processing headers then reading package dependecies. The box then disappears and nothing happens. I also tried synaptic again but when I type in gcc and hit enter it shows nothing. I went into red carpet and checked for updates on installed and availabe software the only thing that comes up in red carpet is a package called libgcc 3.2.2-5 I then tried to install the driver again as above thinking that I had the correct dependecies. and it stopped as before stating thjat no compiler was in the path.
I really apprecaited the help. Because I am more determined to get this now more then ever

This is what I get when doing a apt-get update. When I try synaptic and type in gcc and hit enter it does nothing like the package is not even there.

After I download the rpm when trying to install the box pops up reading preparing system for update then it disappears and nothing happens. This seems to happen alot. The funny thing is I have synaptic installed and when typing in gcc it shows nothing. So I tried to install it from a tar bal and I got has far tar xvf gcc-3.3.2 all of the items in there popped up in the terminal screen but I could not figure out how to install it. I did ./install-sh and /install-sh. Not sure if that was the correct thing to do or not. The big thing would be to get the rpm install to work I logged in as root then went to software dir. and changed the permissions for the rpm to 777 and it still did the same thing (preparing system for update) then nothing. ;(

I'm using BLAG its a multimedia version of Red Hat 9.
I really appreciate your patience with me. I've read manuals til I was blue in the face and some times you just need to be walked through stuff like this.
Thanks again for your time

Penguinbiker are you going to school at Tech. ;(

I'm relatively new to linux and all of the distros which most of you probably know. This is just a general question/ poll. I'm wondering what distro's have the pro's and not so pro's tried and which one do you use the most. Here's my list
Started with Mandrake 9 and 9.1 for a newbie its to adjustable
Red Hat 9 Loved it is easy to install and for the most part set up
Vector text installs get me in trouble
Peanut 9.5 Looks like its nice but I got as far as the driver install and it locked up??
Damn Small and Aidios Text install again
Libranet Here I'm getting the hang of the text install but I could get use to it
Lycrois Well even for me its a no brainer
Ark Linux Waiting for tje final release the test release has a bug that won't let me fully install but it looks cool
Red Hat 10 / Fedora Project 2nd release good Red Hat but will wait for the final
The last one is called
Linux Install 1.4 its based off of Red Hat 8 and has every thing any newbie could want easy to install and set up its the one i always seem to end up with hope the guy updates to the lastest if he has the time.
I managed to dual boot all of these with XP with out having to reload it.
Again I was just wondering
Hollywood
Can't remember how to
in Everything Linux

I'm trying to unlock my files using chmod. But I can't remember where to put the R to unlock all files at once.
Like chmod 777 /home R
Its been a while since I've been on my Linux box so go easy.
Thanks Hollywood
