ive got x-window-core installed perfectly, buit when i try and install gnome and kdm i get "some libraries/archives missing"

What can i do to fix this? ive tried re downloading

what distro u use since u have to install separately kdm or gnome ?
if u can post the error msg then post it

I use debian, no knockoffs.

I installed both, (i didnt know which one i liked so i decided to try them out) nither worked, same error, wasnt able to download and install al archives.

i not familiar with debian i worry if go further will mess up everything so better wait some debies to help on this matter let see

Then WHY are you in the debian section?.......

for general linux is the same but certain part there is diffrent which i can go furher its just for the research ( R&D ) about other distro but if u want to try yes can ,

ok then i follow up

use konsole mode to login with init3

edit /etc/inittab
change id 5 to id 3

boot system login with root password

proceed with command kdm or gdm or startx chose one of those 3 see which one can let u in

try it

no offence but this might help you( http://www.webgrammar.com/writingresources.html ), ill wiat til someone with a bit more knowledge comes around

yeah thanks very good an nice site for web purpose this will help me on the website creation
but in conversation there is no diffrent between u and you and one more thing computer term is not english term , doesnt mean that person good in english they understand what is motherboard just as example

btw i suggest u open new thread if u still getting help but wait somewhile

'

IM NOT NEW TO FORUMS. just this one.

im not saying your computer terms i cant understand, i dont understand linux somewhat. I BUILD COMPUTERS FOR A LIVING.

im saying the way you say things sucks, not the way you spell them.

Exaple

-->doesnt mean that person good in english
--> doesnt mean that persons good in english.
(bad example)
YOUR GRAMMAR SUCKS........... IT WAS AN INSULT

ok then i try to learn grammer good for official writting
but not sure going to use or not
hope can use it

Hey LQnewBee,

With an attitude like yours, I don't see too many people actually helping you. You're criticizing the one person who has responded to you so far, and there's really no need for it.

I suggest you head on over to a Malaysian website and see how well you do with grammar! routers is trying to help, and doing the best he can. Just because his posts aren't 100% grammatically correct doesn't mean you can't understand what he's saying!

Pull your head out of that dark smelly place it seems to be, and try taking his advice.

Good luck,

Matt

dang dude, he's from malaysia, give him a break, heck i speak english but sometimes my grammer aint perfect! and just cause someone doesnt run debian doesnt mean they cant help

not sure if you meant kde and not kdm

try installing x-window-system, this is a bigger more inclusive package that x-window-system-core, then try installing gnome or kde(m)

how did you try to install kde and gnome? Apt can usually take care of all dependencies.

A good & kind thought.

One of the benefits of putting your geographical location (as he did) in your profile, is that it allows us to cut you some slack, when appropriate. ("Third rock" may be cute, but not very helpful is this.)

A practical Q: Anyone have any suggestions for on-line grammar improvement resources? Esp. ESL oriented.


To LQnewBee, if it's of any interest, I found your English worse than his & already put you on my ignore list so not to be pained by looking at it. Sorry dude, no help from me.
