how to remove suse casteriated xine and install full version
 

I am trying to remove the suse castrated programs and install the full versions. The two I would like to start with are xine and kaffine. As a newbe I need detailed instructions. I am using suse 10.0

System
amd 64 3000+ asus k8 deluxe 1 gig ddr400 wd200 gig & maxtor 200 gig gforce 6200--128meg sb 2zs platium pro

Thanks

That should help.

If you get stuck, post back here.

Downloaded smart files to temp and as su did install. Now smart & smart update are under system/configuration but when I try to invoke the program I get message to sign in as root which I do then smart never runs. Using file viewer all programs seem to be installed. What should I try next?

Thanks Stan

Start Konsole as a normal user and enter kdesu "smart --gui". Post back any error messages printed on the Konsole screen.

Like I mentioned I am total newbe and do not understand exact what to enter.

Assume I have started Konsoule as normal user.
Exactly what do I enter. kdesu "smart --gui" does not make any sense to me. I entered exactly as above and what I got was
bash: [b]kdesu: command not found

Do you have KDE installed? If so kdesu should be available. You need to enter the bold commands as printed e.g.

remove suse xine replace with full version
 

Sorry just put me in the special ed class for slow learners.

I run kde as my default desktop. At command prompt I entered [/QUOTE]

The response was bash: [code]: command not found

Thanks
Stan

Are you running KDE or GNOME. Also did you make sure that you did not enter the dollar sign since its there to just show you a shell prompt?

Did major update to kde which allowed me to install smart. Unfortunately I installed smart for 10.1 rather than 10. It did not work of course so I am trying to delete it then install smart for 10 but get the following message.
ERROR(InstTarget:E_RpmDB_subprocess_failed)

error: cannot open Packages index using db3 - Operation not permitted (1)
error: cannot open Packages database in /var/lib/rpm

rpm output:

error: cannot get exclusive lock on /var/lib/rpm/Packages
error: cannot open Packages index using db3 - Operation not permitted (1)
error: cannot open Packages database in /var/lib/rpm

Guess it has to be done via command line which I am very slowly learning. When I figure this out I will install smart for 10 and continue from there.

looks like you're not doing that as root

I've been having the same problem myself, I've posted the outputs on this page http://www.linuxquestions.org/questi...=1#post2492763
