i'm a total
so far i was able to install gkrellm (not to compile the code though) but i can't find the program in the program list. So i searched this website and found out i could use the terminal to load up the program. But the thing is, if i close the terminal after loading gkrellm, it closes gkrellm also... are there any other ways to open programs?
um it ain't quite working, it loads the app but when i quit the terminal i closes the app also. about the startup script... i was about to ask how to do this?
You really should take care where you are posting your problems. The best place for a problem is not The Website Questions & Suggestions forum. You should post your probs. in the forums best suited for your problems, to get the best possible reply/solution. As yours is a software problem, you should have posted in the Software forum.
