themes on Debian

Greetings all

how do I get my desktop to look like this http://www.lynucs.org/index.php?scre...d52f1&p=screen and if It is a theme 2 questions is it dangerous to down load and if not where can i dl them?

here is another one although the website i got it from was in another language
http://www.vivaolinux.com.br/screens...809068.vol.png
Thank you all

The one at lynucs.org is super easy, it's just enlightenment window manager with a background and gDesklets. The other one, the part I'm guessing you're talking about it probably SuperKaramba. Google either and you'll sort it out, gDesklets is for GNOME and SuperKaramba is for KDE, if you run a neuteral window manager such as fluxbox then you can use either :)

Ok how do I install a theme on debain where do I go and set it up. and where would the installed file be.

Fast Hint, Those Temperature and HD monitoring stuff are superkaramba themes.
Just go here and download
what you want. And use superkaramba to open those themes you downloaded.

Greetings

I dl superkaramba-0.35.tar.gz and installed it (well tried to) here is what I did after unpacking it using the gui method.

I typed ./configure which seemed to do fine but then I typed make and it went well until the end where it said 2 error then after I tried make install it gave 1 error at the end of the installation.

Any way I cant seem to find it any where did it install and if it did how can I find it also is this version any good.

Well thank you all

kde-look.org
gnome-look.org

Dude, Just install karamba from the debian repository using "apt-get install superkaramba". You don't need to download any tar.gz files.

cool man thanks a lot.

no how do I know if something I want can be found using apt-get install and also if I have to change the website that I am dling from how do I do it.
Thanks again

To search for a certain program that you want to install, use
apt-cache search programName
and as a result you will get a list of package names along with a
short description for each one. Then locate which one you really
want to install and use its exact package name in the "apt-get
install" command.
Example,
Lets say you want to install a network sniffer program but you don't
have an exact program in mind. So you first do a search

Code:

spark:/home/onemanarmy# apt-cache search network sniffer

airsnort - WLAN sniffer

darkstat - a network traffic analyzer

dsniff - Various tools to sniff network traffic for cleartext insecurities

ethereal - Network traffic analyzer

ethereal-common - Network traffic analyser (common files)

ethereal-dev - Network traffic analyser (development tools)

ettercap - Multipurpose sniffer/interceptor/logger for switched LAN

karpski - ethernet analyzer and sniffer

kismet - Wireless 802.11b monitoring tool

nast - packet sniffer and a lan analyzer

nwatch - Network service detector.

prismstumbler - Wireless network sniffer

Then you see that dsniff is interesting but you are still not sure whether
it is the right package to install. You would like to get more info about it; like
version, more detailed description...etc. So you do

Code:

spark:/home/onemanarmy# apt-cache show dsniff

This package contains several tools to listen to and create network traffic:



 * arpspoof - Send out unrequested (and possibly forged) arp replies.

  * dnsspoof - forge replies to arbitrary DNS address / pointer queries

              on the Local Area Network.

  * dsniff - password sniffer for several protocols.

  * filesnarf - saves selected files sniffed from NFS traffic.

  * macof - flood the local network with random MAC addresses.

  * mailsnarf - sniffs mail on the LAN and stores it in mbox format.

  * msgsnarf - record selected messages from different Instant Messengers.

  * sshmitm - SSH monkey-in-the-middle. proxies and sniffs SSH traffic.

  * sshow - SSH traffic analyser

  * tcpkill - kills specified in-progress TCP connections.

  * tcpnice - slow down specified TCP connections via "active"

              traffic shaping.

  * urlsnarf - output selected URLs sniffed from HTTP traffic in CLF.

  * webmitm - HTTP / HTTPS monkey-in-the-middle. transparently proxies.

  * webspy - sends URLs sniffed from a client to your local browser.

Feel it is the right one. Then go ahead with installing it

Code:

spark:/home/onemanarmy# apt-get install dsniff

Concerning your other question, the sites you download from the packages is
located in the file /etc/apt/sources.list.

Hope I helped.
