one more thing, insyte.
I did try today morning (since I'm on vacation ) as recommended
"At present, I'm using gDesklets 0.30. It's actually quite easy to install. Just install the dependencies in the following order.
pygtk
pyorbit
gnome-python
swig"
and still no luck
"slackerlx@Slackware:~$ gdesklets start
connecting to daemon [### ]You need a recent version of PyGTK to run this program.
Traceback (most recent call last):
File "/usr/share/gdesklets/gdesklets-daemon", line 13, in ?
import gnome.ui
ImportError: No module named gnome.ui
Cannot establish connection to daemon : timeout
slackerlx@Slackware:~$"
ah ok, not sure what's wrong but I've seen that error the first time I installed gdesklets and installing in the order I wrote on the site did it for me (wrote the gdesklets section while I was actually reinstalling it).
Thanks, insyte. No worries. I'll be soon reinstalling Slack, cause I have some annoying glithes and I like my system to be perfecto. Then I'll put my mind into it
Me too, I plan a reinstall soon cause my slack box is down atm. And I actually want to rewrite parts of the site, to even make it simpler to read and understand.
Do you perhaps have your tutorial in a printer friendly version that one can download and print?
This would greatly assist me with my slackware install and con-fig, alas I do not have an Nvidia card but a ATI radeon 9550, which I led to believe is a bugger to configure under linux.
I tried to get into the bitbendersforum.com from South Africa, but no go, just gateway/time_out errors, to have a look at a tut. posted by grogan as mentioned in another post, on the subject of installing slackware.
Had a bit of trouble getting into your site, but was well worth it. It's a good site with well written info. 11 out of 10 for you.
Slack is definitely not for the faint hearted, but it would seem that, slacks the only way to go to really lean Linux
