Installing Gnome after initial installation
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.

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:
Module Size Used by Not tainted emu10k1 55680 0 sound 52876 0 [emu10k1] ac97_codec 9568 0 [emu10k1] soundcore 3236 7 [emu10k1 sound] parport_pc 14404 1 (autoclean) lp 6368 1 (autoclean) parport 21664 1 (autoclean) [parport_pc lp] pcmcia_core 40896 0 ide-scsi 7456 0 8139too 13792 1 mii 1008 0 [8139too] |
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....
