| 467681 | 2006-07-31 08:26:00 | Hmmm... what are man pages Jen? :D man (faqf1.net.nz ands_to_know) servant ready to serve up the pages. :p Well, I did manage to get the Corel tar unpacked into a home folder. YaST seemed to find it and install it, but the same as with Wine it's nowhere to be seenWhat did you do to get YaST to install it? Did you just double click on the package? Why can't you type in the root password? Is there a README file in the Corel folder? Go into the Corel folder and hit F4 (a terminal window should open). Then enter in at the prompt: ls -apl [hit enter] (note, those are lowercase L's) Post back here with that result. PS I have a Windows copy of Corel that I can install running Wine, or I have the 'Linux Corel' version as a tar just to make things clearer. My prefered option would be the Windows version running on Wine.Not sure how well the Windows versions of Corel Photo/Paint works under Wine, and I believe the Linux port of that application still requires Wine to run. Any reason for not using Gimp instead? |

| 467684 | 2006-07-31 10:31:00 | I got Corel to install ok from it's own installer, but can't get it to work from there. The install window just said 'Corel is now installed and ready to use'. I guess it's too much to hope that it would put a nice icon in my KDE graphics menu or on the desktop? :( |

| 467685 | 2006-07-31 10:45:00 | If you install applications using that method, then often you will not get any icons on the KMenu automatically added. But you can add them yourself easily enough. The next trick is finding what you need to enter to start the application. Did it mention what you needed to enter in that ReadmeFirst.html? Have you now got in the CorelPHOTOPAINT9Lnx folder a file called "corel" or similar that is a shell script? If you hover over the files, it should show you in the status bar at the bottom of the window what sort of file it is. Otherwise, do the ls -apl again to see which file is the launcher (the launcher might of been created after you had run the installer file). |
