nocturnes Posted August 28, 2004 Report Share Posted August 28, 2004 Are you running this as user or root? What exactly did you do to run it? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
teh_sAbEr Posted August 28, 2004 Author Report Share Posted August 28, 2004 i tried running as a normal user, and as root. both resulted in the same thing. this is what i typed in to run it: sh Install_CircleButtonBar_Sensor.bin i tried installing a different sensor, and it gave me the same error.

spiedra Posted August 28, 2004 Report Share Posted August 28, 2004 The command should be: ./Install_CircleButtonBar_Sensor.bin Then when it says sensor now installed, then type something along the lines of: gdesklets CircleButtonBar Or whatever that file is called.

teh_sAbEr Posted August 28, 2004 Author Report Share Posted August 28, 2004 ok thanx. i was able to install it, but it wont start on me. i type in 'gdesklets CircleButtonBar', it says the file doesn't exist (plus the readme on this thing is blank, aside from a "Write Me" sign..). ive also tried "gdesklets CircleButtonBar.display" and "gdesklets start CircleButtonBar.display", "gdesklets start CircleButtonBar", and they all bring up an error saying the file does not exist. any advice? im using the urpmi'd version, which is .26 i think Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
nocturnes Posted August 28, 2004 Report Share Posted August 28, 2004 Start gdesklets go to the folder where the file is located ./CircleButtonBar.display That ought to do it. Of course you only need do it once as you can get gdesklets to remember for next time Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
teh_sAbEr Posted August 28, 2004 Author Report Share Posted August 28, 2004 ok so i tried it. i moved to the .gdesklets/Sensors/CircleButtonBar folder, and i typed in ./CircleButtonBar.display."command not found". i did start gdesklets, except that terminal was made unavailable after that, so i opened a new one.

spiedra Posted August 29, 2004 Report Share Posted August 29, 2004 When you extracted the tar, it would have created a folder. cd into that new folder. Once in that new folder, type: gdesklets CircleButtonBar.display You need to have gdesklets running before you type the above command. Also, I am not sure what the file is called, but the file you want to add will be the one that ends in '".display". Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
teh_sAbEr Posted August 29, 2004 Author Report Share Posted August 29, 2004 alrite, i was able to add circlebuttonbar.display, but now it crashes as soon as it starts up. what do i do about this? thank you for the help. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
nocturnes Posted August 29, 2004 Report Share Posted August 29, 2004 Try upgrading to Gdesklets 0.30 from cooker. It has bugs but may work better.I suggest this because it is what I have running on mine (and I think you saw it running there right?)

nocturnes Posted August 29, 2004 Report Share Posted August 29, 2004 Go to Easy Urpmi and follow the instructions to add a cooker source. Bookmark this page! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
teh_sAbEr Posted August 31, 2004 Author Report Share Posted August 31, 2004 what exactly do i type in to get urpmi to update my current version of gdesklets to 0.30 or to download 0.30, because its saying "Everything already installed" when i type in urpmi gdesklets, and when i add a -0.30 to the end of it, it isnt found. thanx for the help!

spiedra Posted September 1, 2004 Report Share Posted September 1, 2004 Did you add cooker? If so, do you already have version .30? If not sure type from a console: gdesklets -v This will tell you the version. If you didn't add cooker, then follow the faq's regarding urpmi. I'm pretty sure the latest version is available from cooker or plf which is another ftp source. If not, google gdesklets, go to the site and install from there.

teh_sAbEr Posted September 14, 2004 Author Report Share Posted September 14, 2004 ok, after updating URPMI sources and getting cooker, i was FINALLY (*sigh*) able to get gdesklets 0.30, although it still keeps on crashing on me when i try to load a sensor. ive tried "gdesklets open clock" (clock being a display i downloaded from URPMI), and "gdesklets shell"(to open graphical shell) all after "gdesklets start". heres a screenshot: Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
