HI.... hey... I´m a Linux Newbie using Debian and trying to intall the Gnome... a installed patchs gnome-cor using apt, but it seems to don´t work, a could not star de gnome. how can I install it with pachs do I need, and, how to configure and run it?

which gnome are you trying to install? gnome-core was from the gnome-1.x series desktop ( current version is 2.8).

If this is what you want, then you will probably need:

nautilus
control-center ( may have been installed for gnome-core )
sawfish (or another window manager )

for a mininmal gnome-1.4 desktop.

the gnome-2.x series is completely different ( in regards to what packages it takes )

Also, which debian are you using ( stable, testing. etc...)?

Well i would like to try last version of gnome... and I`m using Debian 2.4.18-bf2.4 and have alredy installed X and xfree86. Waht comes next? how to get gnome 2.8?
the videio drivers seems to be working fine, couse when I run the X it shows up the nvidia logo and the beginign of a desktop interface but, it gives me an error saing something like missing /root/Xsession... some thing like this, I´m at work now so can´t send the full erro message.


Sds,
The , I will get there one day!

should be a matter of:

apt-get update
apt-get install gnome

but I'm not sure which version it will install with that version of debian. Also, If you installed gnome-core, then that will have to be removed ( you can keep the libraries from gnome-1.4, but not gnome-core as it will conflict with the newer gnome installs).

Your best bet would be to head over to the debian specific forum on this board where they can help you with getting apt-get going and let you know what versions of gnome are available for what versions of debian.

Humm... Right... ok... thanx for your help!!! will check it out!

Sds,
