I think I installed enough stuff to resolve most issues. Now this is what I get when I try to install Gnome 2.0 puella:/home/alg2/gnome2 # rpm -Uvh *.rpm file /usr/lib/rep/i386-suse-linux/sawfish/client.so from install of sawfish2-2.0.0611-6 conflicts with file from package sawfish-1.0.1-87 How do I handle this sawfish issue?
Three options: 1) Don't install sawfish2 - since I switched to GNOME2 I've only used Metacity, it seems a lot faster to me than Sawfish 2) Uninstall sawfish-1.0.1-87 before installing sawfish2 3) You can probably safely use --force on this one, although bear in mind that you're "not supposed to do this" and although it worked fine on my machine, Your Mileage May Vary! -- James Ogley, Unix Systems Administrator, Pinnacle Insurance Plc james.ogley@pinnacle.co.uk www.pinnacle.co.uk +44 (0) 20 8731 3619 Using Free Software since 1994, running GNU/Linux (SuSE 8.0) This email was created and sent with Ximian Evolution 1.0.8 NEW: Advogato diary at www.advogato.org/person/riggwelter ********************************************************************** CONFIDENTIALITY.This e-mail and any attachments are confidential and may also be privileged.
