Re: problem in instaling gnome-utils in debian.

[Date Prev][Date Next][Thread Prev][Thread Next][Date Index][Thread Index]

 



The reason why I want to install gnome-utils is that I found some keyboard
shortcuts are not available on my new gnome system.
But after I install the gnome-utils as you described, I still can not configure the
shortcuts.
One of the missing shortcuts is switch windows by "alt-tab".
So how can I reconfigure all the shorcuts?


thanks.

regards,
yalding

Hi all:
I am a new debian & gnome user. I am using the debian unstable version and gnome 2.4
Basicly, I can not install gnome-utils on my system, and I dont know why?
Will anyone take a look at the following error message?
Your kindly help will be appreciated.


ERROR MESSAGES:

debian:/home/yalding# apt-get install gnome-utils
Reading Package Lists... Done
....[snipped]....
Unpacking gnome-utils (from .../gnome-utils_2.2.1-1_i386.deb) ...
dpkg: error processing /var/cache/apt/archives/gnome-utils_2.2.1-1_i386.deb (--unpack):
trying to overwrite `/usr/bin/gnome-character-map', which is also in package gucharmap



Most probably this is a problem not related to GNOME. I think this is related to the Debian Sid (unstable). I am on Debian Woody, but most of the packages on my system now are from unstable. I faced this kind of problem a few times. Normally I solve this type of problems the following way:

Goto /var/cache/apt/archives/
Find the file gnome-utils_2.2.1-1_i386.deb. It should be there.
Install it using the following command as root user:
# dpkg -i --force-overwrite ./gnome-utils_2.2.1-1_i386.deb
(See `dpkg --force-help' for more info)
This should force the install.
After that, just to be sure that everything was correctly configured,
re-run the command `apt-get install gnome-utils'

Santanu
