Just a question? Is your place of employment Chrysalis records/publications? Cheers, Curtis. On Tuesday 12 November 2002 13:50, KMcLauchlan@chrysalis-its.com wrote:

G'day.

As reported elsewhere, I blew up my desktop, and have been laboring with just WindowMaker on my home machine, and most of my favorite apps refusing to work (cuz KDE and GNOME won't run and also won't lend the required infrastructure for running the apps in WM).

I apologize for starting a new thread, but I am currently at my office, with broken KMail, so I have no access to mail that's older than Friday.

Anyway, this message refers to my home system, where I poked about in yast (text flavor) to see what I could see (not much) and then ran SuSEconfig. Everything went smoothly except for the following messages that I don't know how to interpret:

# SuSEconfig Executing blah blah blah

Executing /sbin/conf.d/SuSEconfig.susewm unable to copy /opt/kde3/share/aplnk/Settings//.directory to /etc/opt/kde3/share/aplnk/Settings//.directory unable to read /opt/kde3/share/aplnk/Settings//.directory SuSEwm: ERROR: gnome no "name" defined!

There was also a message about Unknown default printer, but I'll worry about that later.

Everything else in SuSEconfig worked fine.

So, what's with that "//.directory" ??

Is that legal? Two slashes with no character between? Or is that the problem? Is that why the directory is not found? Is this one of those things that I could just delete and it'll be "reconstituted" next time I run yast? Or is that an abrupt form of suicide? Some of you folks can recognize the difference BEFORE you do something. I only recognize it after I'm dead... :-)
