Thank you for helping me I am in [medric castlefamily
medric]$ that is where I am in am installing as user not as root and Installed
garnome here /home/medric/garnome that is where the folder is ( okay I unpacked
the 0.29.1 folder here /home/medric/garnome-0.29.1 and when it started to
install it made the garnome folder /home/medric/garnome if that is not where
the real folder is then tell me where to look for it cause I never changed anything
I just ran this script cd /home/medric/garnome-0.29.1/desktop and then on the
next line I ran make paranoid-install and it made the /home/medric/garnome
folder and that is where the gnome-session is /home/medric/garnome/bin/gnome-session
And secondly I like how you have
the script but is that all on one line then hit enter or is does each line go
in seperatly and hit enter after each one And I am a jamican but I have been living an a American
for 16 years I have graduated from Well: so you created the following script and named it
garnome-session: --- Start of garnome-session
script --- > #!/bin/sh
GARNOME=/home/medric/garnome > PATH=$GARNOME/bin:$PATH >
LD_LIBRARY_PATH=$GARNOME/lib:$LD_LIBRARY_PATH >
PYTHONPATH=$GARNOME/lib/python2.2/site-packages >
PKG_CONFIG_PATH=$GARNOME/lib/pkgconfig:/usr/lib/pkgconfig > GDK_USE_XFT=1 > export PATH LD_LIBRARY_PATH
PYTHONPATH PKG_CONFIG_PATH GDK_USE_XFT > exec
$GARNOME/bin/gnome-session --- End of garnome-session script
--- Supposing that you created it on your home directory,
you must, at bash prompt and logged as root, type: cd /home/medric <enter> chmod a+rx garnome-session <enter> mv garnome-session /usr/bin/ <enter> <enter> means "press the Enter key". Now you´ve got garnome-session as an executable file
and accessible (the file is in your PATH). Next, we need to change
the scripts that will be readable by your Desktop Manager. This depends
on which dm you are using: If it is kdm, you need to change
/etc/X11/dm/Sessions folder, but gdm has its own set of folders. Let´s consider
you are using kdm: You must, at bash prompt and logged as
root, do: cd /etc/X11/dm/Sessions <enter> cp gnome.desktop garnome.desktop <enter> sed -e 's/GNOME/GARNOME/g' < gnome.desktop >
garnome.desktop.tmp <enter> sed -e 's/gnome-session/garnome-session/g'
<garnome.desktop.tmp > garnome.desktop <enter> rm garnome.desktop.tmp <enter> These commands will create a new garnome.desktop file,
which will be read by kdm on your next login. When you login, you
must change your desktop (on kdm screen) to garnome, which will be
listed together with kde, gnome and whatever other desktop manager you´ve
got installed. God luck! -- garnome-list mailing list http://mail.gnome.org/mailman/listinfo/garnome-list |
