Hey! It's not funny! I see pixels and that's it!!

203314 2003-12-26 21:36:00 Jen thats a nice desktop! :D

Mines not quite as stylish, but it works... :-)
Chills GNOME 2.4 Desktop 1 (sal.neoburn.net)

Maybe we should have a "Show us your Theme" thread... Would be a nice change from _just_ wallpapers :-)

Try opening a console (as your user) and running:
/usr/share/amsn/amsn
or if that doesnt work, type:
/usr/share/msn/amsn

Post back with the results :-)


Chill.

203316 2003-12-26 21:46:00 Okay, you need to rm the symlink in /usr/bin and remake it so it points to /usr/share/msn/amsn

Next, wish is the Windowing Manager it uses IIRC. Try:
wish amsn
(once you've remade that symlink i mentioned above)

If that doesnt work,then you've not got tk/tcl setup right, but Im sure it worked fine out of the box for me with RH9.. Weird..

Try that and post back :-)

203318 2003-12-26 22:29:00 BIG TYPO ALERT!

OK, just noticed that I have done a major typo in my instructions for installing the nVidia drivers :8}

Where I keep saying to enter in teleinit it should really say telinit - no extra e!

At least I was consistant and spelt the command wrong the whole way through, very sorry about that :)

Yeah, so just make sure you use the telinit command.

I need to what to who and do the what to which thing?

Coffee... I think I bought some today!!

Please go through it a little slower. :|

203320 2003-12-27 10:48:00 As root, type:
rm /usr/bin/amsn
cd /usr/bin
ln -s /usr/share/msn/amsn

Then quit that terminal and open a non-root one and type:
wish amsn

[root@localhost root]# rm /usr/bin/msn/amsn

Can't seem to find it anywhere... and also wondering... how am I supposed to "open a non-root" terminal? I only have a Default profile... and that is the root.

203322 2003-12-27 19:02:00 Well, whatever happened went as horribly wrong as was humanly possible.

I boot up into Red Hat, get a blank screen. Push a key, get asked something (which I can't see because nothing is written there) I push no, so another question comes up. I push no. Then it tells me something which I can't read, I push OK. Then I get a blank screen.

Hmmmmmmmmm. Question mark.
