GNOME Supplimentary section for SUSE 9.3 are broken. I've tried installing them with APT, Red Carpet and YaST2 on different machines wihtout any luck so I have come to the conclusion

You could try to report a bug on this, but as we are all focused on SUSE Linux 10.0 at the moment, the odds are quite bad that someone fixes this very soon.

I downloading Beta 2 of SUSE Linux 10 now but I don't want to turn all m y machines over to Beta software at this stage and I'm sure there will be others who agree. I think it would be good if you could get these packages working for 9.3 :-)

Well Seb, the supplementary trees are beta software too. Using those trees isn't any different from using SUSE Linux 10.0 betaX. On the contrary it might even be worse...

Ohhh I thought the supplemantary ones were just like the shipped ones but newer as there are often prerealease packages in the mainstream SuSE as well .

Yeah I tried updating GNOME & its dependency hell & things stop working .

And BTW Ive tried KDE & I dont recommend it either..(KDM doesnt start any more,....) just in case any one thought it might be worth it ... although it is kinda usable when get X running.

I had a similar problem after upgrading to the ATi binary drivers. I changed my mouse in YaST and kdm failed to start since. I solved the problem by taking the box down to init 3 and running SaX2, restart and kdm worked. The ATi drivers had to be reinstalled though. _____________________________________________________________________ For super low premiums, click here http://www.dialdirect.co.za/quote http://www.webmail.co.za the South African FREE email service
