Hi Gordon et al, Here are the problems that I have had using XimianRed Carpet on SuSe 7.2. I have the same problem with having to launch Red Carpet in the terminal. I spoke to Ximian about three weeks ago about the problem, they're working on a solution - this problem is only with SuSe distro. What i dis was drag the Red Carpet icon from the main menue to my QuickLaunch. I went to properties and clicked on the box to "Run in Terminal." Now when I click on the Red Carpet icon in QuickLaunch, I automatically get a gui launcher request for root pass word and a terminal request for my root password on screen, together (Red Carpet only works with root permission). I currently do not have use of Evolution or Galeon. There're a lot of dependencies assosiated with these two programs which will take years to resolve with a dial up modem. I finally got everything downloaded for Evolution 1.0.2 and it hung up in the validation process at 92% validated. I have not tried Galeon, yet, because it hasn't shown up on Red Carpet's radar screen. My current version of Mozilla is 0.9.2. With a dial up modem, resolving these problems takes a while. I'm thinking of upgrading to broadband. About a third of the guys in the Lug use cable modems, which is probablly the route I'll go. My ISP provider, Earthlink, offers DSL with no Linux support. I've been with Earthlink for six years, but it's probablly wiser to go with the support of the Lug. So I may go AT&T's MediaOne. Tom The following is the error message I received for Evolution: Red Carpet has encountered an error while trying to process your request: An eror has occured while Red Carpet was processing this transaction. This may be caused by an improperly built corrupted package. ... You should report this problem to red-carpet@ximian.com as soon as possible.
