Hey Randall,
Okay, I was a little to fast. I got it to work in school, just as you told me to. Btw I didn't need to change the gamma to see it.
Now i wanted to try it at my desktop at home and i encountered some problems. First of all, I don't get the script to work again. i did the same as before, but it won't work, just a black screen. Secondly, I don't have the gamma tab in the display settings. Can you tell me what I am doing wrong or what i am missing?
The first things to check are: - XPlanet is installed - After you copied the script you made it executable ("chmod +x ...") - Make sure that the correct entry is left selected in the "Background Program" section of the "Advanced Background Settings" dialog of KDE Background Control Center section. - Make sure xplanet-local script is being executed by examining the log file it creates ($HOME/.xplanet-local-invocations). As far as the Gamma tab being absent from the KDE control center, I can only guess that it's supplied by an optional KDE component that you don't have installed. Since I tend to install huge swathes of the distribution, I don't often run into the problem of things only partially installed. In particular, I have all the (non-development) KDE components installed.
