PCLOS talking about Edu

[melodie]

Right, something is really wrong.

Do this as root:

Code: [Sélectionner]

apt-get install spacefm spacefm-i10n
so now you have a file manager. Next go there:
http://ftp.heanet.ie/pub/pclinuxos/pclinuxos/apt/pclinuxos/2010

download the following files with this command line:

Code: [Sélectionner]

wget -c http://ftp.heanet.ie/pub/pclinuxos/pclinuxos/apt/pclinuxos/2010/RPMS.updates/libfm-1.1.2.2-1pclos2013.i586.rpm http://ftp.heanet.ie/pub/pclinuxos/pclinuxos/apt/pclinuxos/2010/RPMS.updates/libfm-gtk-1.1.2.2-1pclos2013.i586.rpm http://ftp.heanet.ie/pub/pclinuxos/pclinuxos/apt/pclinuxos/2010/RPMS.updates/pcmanfm-1.1.2-1pclos2013.i586.rpm http://ftp.heanet.ie/pub/pclinuxos/pclinuxos/apt/pclinuxos/2010/RPMS.updates/pcmanfm-i10n-1.1.2-1pclos2013.i586.rpm http://ftp.heanet.ie/pub/pclinuxos/pclinuxos/apt/pclinuxos/2010/RPMS.updates/pcmanfm-root-0.3-1pclos2013.i586.rpm         

Then from within the root console go to the download directory ("cd /home/your_user/Downloads" whereas "your_user" is your login name), add two depends which need to be installed:
lxpolkit and libvala0 (do as root "apt-get install lxpolkit libvala0").

Once done in the directory where the packages have been downloaded, do also as root:

Code: [Sélectionner]

rpm -Uvh *.rpm
exactly as I provide it in the code tags.

This is what you should see after you type this command:

[root@localhost Downloads]# rpm -Uvh *.rpm
Preparing...                ########################################### [100%]
   1:libfm                  ########################################### [ 20%]
   2:libfm-gtk              ########################################### [ 40%]
   3:pcmanfm                ########################################### [ 60%]
   4:pcmanfm-i10n           ########################################### [ 80%]
   5:pcmanfm-root           ########################################### [100%]
/var/lib/rpm/filetriggers/ldconfig.script: line 2: ldconfig: command not found
[root@localhost Downloads]#

Of course, pcmanfm is not the only way to have a background and icons on the desktop, but it is the easiest one. If you follow the above step by step, and just copy/paste the content of the command lines as you will find them in the above code tags, you should succeed.

hi melodie!
thanks for your help... and for your patience...
folowed your advice -. copy/past all the commands - but must have failled somewhere as there is still something wrong:
- "cd /home/your_user/Downloads" that i changed to "cd /home/school/Downloads" doesn'contain any downloads.
- anyway, "lxpolkit and libvala0" are installed (confirmed in synaptic)
- pcmanfm and root pacmanfm are now installed.

i made a screeshot of the command line and saved to "pictures" but nothing appears there
so here it is in text:

Password:
[root@localhost school]# cd /home/school/Downloads
[root@localhost Downloads]#  rpm -Uvh *.rpm
error: File not found by glob: *.rpm
[root@localhost Downloads]#

once again, many thanks for your help!

Hi Luikki,

If you open your file manager now and look in /home/school, do you see the rpm packages? If you do, then they are under /home/school and you could have installed them with the command line "rpm -Uvh /home/school/*.rpm" as well.

* is a joker, and is replaced by any chain of characters therefore the "rpm -Uvh ..." command line says to install all rpm archives located in the directory pointed to by the command line (and rpm will deal with whatever install order is the best).

Anyway I am happy to know that installing the two depends solved it for you.

humm…
Just an idea, would you like to get also this one? Kde4 Minime with Openbox : Christmas Edition 2011. I still have a copy on one of my webspaces.

hi melodie!

"If you open your file manager now and look in /home/school, do you see the rpm packages? If you do, then they are under /home/school and you could have installed them with the command line "rpm -Uvh /home/school/*.rpm" as well."
yes, they are there... see? i really know very little...

"humm…

yes!
it will make a perfect xmas gift for my five years old grandniece. D

melodie, once again, many thanks for your help!
bonne nuit

[melodie]

hi melodie!
yes, they are there... see? i really know very little...

When you open the console first thing, it opens into the /home/user, therefore I should have guessed your packages would be downloaded to /home/school and not in the Downloads sub directory.

yes!
it will make a perfect xmas gift for my five years old grandniece. D

Ok, I'll make it available tomorrow so you can tweak it to your needs (try to update, whatever seems nice for you). I can't help you with the theme thought, it's Xmas 2011 and I will not rework it.

I could try to make a similar one with Ubuntu next month or so.. Would you give an Ubuntu Openbox remix a try?

melodie, once again, many thanks for your help!
bonne nuit

Avec plaisir, (welcome) et bonne nuit aussi !

[luikki]

thanks melodie, but i don't like anything that it's buntu related, sorry.

bonne journée!

[melodie]

thanks melodie, but i don't like anything that it's buntu related, sorry.

Too bad, I have found tools which are good and make it easy to create clean custom versions. Anyway you will have your KDE edu version (2011) soon.

[melodie]

Hi,

You can get the ISO from here:
http://tyruiop.eu/~melodie/Downloads/ISOS/PCLinuxOS_En

you could even have it in French here:
http://tyruiop.eu/~melodie/Downloads/ISOS/PCLinuxOS_Fr

Have fun!

[luikki]

Anyway you will have your KDE edu version (2011) soon.

bonne nuit et bonne semaine

[luikki]

hi again melodie!

today i instaled your pclinuxos edu, updated it (went trough the core of installing pcmanfm manually) and everything is running
just fine. 

(a minor problem: tried to run adlocale but it keeps complaining that the system isn't updated.. and it is... but i guess won't
bother with it. can keep it in english).

once again, thanks for your beautiful work and for your help.
je te souhaite un bon week-end.
