how about telling us what distro you are using, what package managemnt you're using, what files you downloaded, what you've alreayd tried so far... we're not psychic
the nastyness isnt needed, and i didnt realize it mattered much what distro and i did say what files. im using redhat 8.0 and i am tryingt o install qtella or xnap but i dont know how, which is teh problem and i odviously dont need 2 so id liek to get rid of one of them which i dont know how , the second problem as for package managment i dont know what that is
ok qtella is a .tar.gz
as for xnap the installer thingy disapreaded from my computer but it did install that one, just have no clue where it installed to, i right clicked on it told it to install and it gave me a progress bar adn said installing package
i installed xnap from here http://xnap.sourceforge.net/download.php
the rmp
You cant seem to run them and thus want to remove them?
Tried whereis qtella or whereis xnap? Those commands should give you a directory (probably something/bin/) where the main executable program is.
where would i type that in? and xnap IS installed i dotn knwo where tho, i rigth clicked said to installa dn it gave me a progress bar saying installing packages and then i cant find it after that, when i click on it again it tells me package already installed
you would type that in a terminal window.
Try Alt + F2, this will give you a "run command" box, type xnap and see if the program starts, you can type it in a terminal too.
I actually prefer it from a terminal because you can see any error message preventing the program to run, and I always have a console open anyway.
ok i tried teh alt f2 i typed in xnap and teh box disapeared and i got nohin, i typed in xnap in a terminal windows adn it said command not found, i have no idea
