No more XD2 ...Almost done.. now I have no X
OK.. so.. I did a google for 'removing XD2 from Linux' or something like that and I found that the best way to do it was to use red carpet. 1. I removed everything under the XD2 channel and closed red carpet. 2. I ran apt-get update && apt-get upgrade and didn't see any errors. 3. I ran apt-get install evolution and didn't see any errors. Everything seemed to work like a charm. 4. I tried to start Evolution and got a dialog box that looked like an error with no text in it. 5. I tried to run mozilla.. same thing. 6. I tried to use Konquerer and kept getting an unsupported protocol http error. 7. So I logged out and rebooted the machine (still a little windows mentality there I suppose; if someone tells me that I shouldnt have done that and that is the reason I have lost everything, I will be up all night kicking my own a$$) 8. When the machine came back up I logged in and typed startx and it is telling me that startx isn't there. What do I need to do now?

run apt-get install XFree86 Alternatively, if that doesn't work... login as root, and run YaST - it should detect that there's a dependency missing (ie XFree86) and install it for you, or you can select it manually, if YaST doesn't notice the broken dep, thus fixing the complete botch Dread Carpet has made of your system. -- James Ogley, Webmaster, Rubber Turnip james@rubberturnip.org.uk http://www.rubberturnip.org.uk Jabber: riggwelter@myjabber.net Using Free Software since 1994, running GNU/Linux (SuSE 8.2) GNOME updates for SuSE: http://www.usr-local-bin.org
