Thanks again. I know not to log in as root. So when I turn the pc on, it asks for my password and I entered it as usual. Have no idea if it is logging me in as root.
probably not...after i wrote i thought that maybe the first time you started YaST it asked for the root password but the box saying "Remember Password" was checked, so the next time you started YaST it *remembered* the pass and didn't ask again..
i didn't think about that possibility because i don't check that box, and if it is checked, i uncheck it
I will read the info in the links you posted, and hopefully I can continue to progress with the installation of wine 1.5.7
ok so, i have to admit that i didn't actually notice that you asked for a particular version of WINE...and, until you have a good bit more experience i would advise you to stick to the version of wine in the openSUSE repo!
and, i'd suggest you work hard at getting over the dying need to always have the very latest version of software....because, in Linux there is a NEW version of something every day...probably every half hour...
anyway, new does not always mean 'better'...it can easily mean (say) harder to install!
so, stick to the 1.4 in the repo, if you have a piece of windows software that won't run in 1.4, then i'd advise you to wait for 1.5.7 to show up in an openSUSE repo--and, while waiting explore some of the other 10,000 plus Linux programs, which are free..
I did have the Hardwood Solitaire 3 working in wine v 1.2 in 2010.
now you said the wrong thing: normally i would never put this much effort into supporting a game
It is in the AppDB. So with help, I can get it to work. Just seem a bit more complex now.
i'd say if it does not run with 1.4 (in the repo, EASY install) then find some other game to play....and, try out some of the FREE games that run natively in openSUSE (without running in wine) eventually you will get real tired of the old fashioned clunky way of your previous systems..
Is my login at fault somewhere having me log in as root and not user?
probably not, probably that box was just checked...and i didn't think about that.

Wine version 1.4 is in the repo so should be no problem. (LOL) Hope it will run the game. We'll find out. Any idea why I don't have the taskbar at the bottom of the desktop, or isn't it important now. Guess I should not worry about accessing yast and the 4 repos in the link above for the time being.

i'm not gonna look back, but didn't i say twice that i have never used Gnome3, and that Gnome2 which i have seen _had_ a panel at the bottom--Gnome3 i don't know if it is supposed to have something at the bottom or not...but i guess probably not (since you don't have one) oh wow! i now realize i sent two answers posts direct to your mail box, and failed to send to the list.. it is just as well as this thread if far too long already.. if you didn't get my two in the mail today say so i'll post them where you can read them..

i think you can't access yast because Gnome3's why of doing things is so different from what you (and i) are used to...i use KDE and can't help you any more with finding yast in gnome3. dd -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse+unsubscribe@opensuse.org To contact the owner, e-mail: opensuse+owner@opensuse.org

If the widgets are unlocked (check by right clicking on the desktop) then right click on the desktop and select "Add Panel-->Default Panel" to add one back. -- Ken Schneider SuSe since Version 5.2, June 1998 -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse+unsubscribe@opensuse.org To contact the owner, e-mail: opensuse+owner@opensuse.org

There are no widgets on the desktop anywhere. Right clicking just has keep aligned, create new folder ,etc. At the top left is "Activities" and there is nothing there like you mentioned. It has some icons there and only says new window or remove from favorites. Thanks.
