mechtn 1 Posted May 8, 2005 Share Posted May 8, 2005 Do the following as root to get working on Fedora Core 3 add this line to your /etc/apt/sources.list rpm http://apt.sw.be fedora/3/en/i386 dag save and exit, then type apt-get update next type this.. rpm --import http://dag.wieers.com/packages/RPM-GPG-KEY.dag.txt Next you'll want to do the install command apt-get install gdesklets This should download it and abunch of its dependancies. I recieved the following error after installing and trying to type gdesklets in aterm as my user. NameError: global name 'gnomevfs' is not defined I solved this by downloading the following package. apt-get install gnome-python2-gnomevfs Have fun!! mechtn Quote Link to post Share on other sites
