Hi,

I'm now running slackware 8.1 with blackbox. If i now want to install Gnome how can i do iT? Since i skipped installing Gnome during the slackware installation.

Thanks

To install the gnome simply mount the CD(if you are installing from the CD) or the partition from your hard disk then there is an executable file their which is install-package you execute it and then it will show you the package that you need to install. Simply mark X the package that you want to install or unmark if you don't want it to be installed.

Install-package of slackware cdrom or gnome?

I installed RH7.2 with kde & gnome. Afterwards I downloaded and installed blackbox & other window managers but they do not appear in login sreen menu where I select between kde/gnome.How can the new windows managers be added to log in screen drop down menu in REd Hat 7.2.

This clearly should have been started in its own thread.. has nothing to do with Nutshell's question.

Can anyone answer my question? WHich CD?

Of course in slackware's CD, where you will find a GNOME series that contains the packages for gnome.

I installed it using pkgtool. When i type gnome-session in the command-line, it says: GTk warning: can't open display

I tried running gnome-session in xterm in blackbox the splash screen showed up but then it keeps saying "/dev/dsp no such device" and stopped. I had to ctrl+C to end it.

What do i put in .xinitrc to start gnome when i type startx?

Oh wait i got it to work. I typed "exec gnome-session" in my .xinitrc.

But it still says /dev/dsp not found no such device. But i really want my sound and i';m sure my sound card is supported...Creative SB Live!

Yeah, your sound IS supported. make sure it's in your kernel, if not module it in, and then add it to modules.conf

yea i modprobed emu10k1 but still no sound. Here's the output for lsmod:

emu10k1 55680 0

make sure you have permissions on /dev/dsp and /dev/audio

I chmod 777 to /dev/dsp, /dev/audio, /dev/mixer and still no sound....

Hmm, I just did a little digging, you may want to check out this post or this one, scroll about halfway down, finegan is mentioning something about sndconfig.

I'm not using Red Hat i don't have sndconfig. I read through every post on your links also.
