gdesklets

[COKE CAN]

Some one please help me. I downloaded gdesklets. Now what do I do? I thought I was doing things right, I downloaded a package from the gdesklets website but it tells me it's an invalid package.

I'm having such a hard time, some one please help me. I seem to just get vague answers when it comes to this or themes for my desktop.

HELP!

I think one of your key problems is, you give vague descriptions... So your problems become vague also!

Can you tell me what's the exact error?

The error:

Error:User

Ok, I am trying to add the FTB system meter package to my desktop. I have the whole file downloaded to my desktop. How do I install it?

Ok now I right click the gdesklets icon on my tool bar and go to manage, now it pops up then goes away. AAAhh!

I ran

gdesklets shell

and got this

Traceback (most recent call last):

Thanks for the details. Although a lot seems very cryptical to me, they surely will help others to understand the problem. I suggest you do some googling on configuring gDesklets - I printed a complete howto for Slackware for myself . I suggest you take your time and find an extended explanation, and follow that step by step. So you get to know the internals of your box.

I'll see what I find, you found a whole write up on configuring gdesklets for slack? Or a write for slack in general?

[borromini]

Gdesklets for slack! I'll see if I can find it back, I printed it, but is on a site of the competition though . On LinuxQuestions.org... I'll keep you posted!

Edit: here you go: Configuring gDesklets on Slackware 9.0.

So what all can you do with gdesklets? Besides the system monitors?

Display the wheather, your system usage, the time, stuff like that, RSS feeds, your mails waiting in your inbox, stuff like that...

Go to the gDesklets homepage, and check out some screenshots.

This stuff is so confucing

What about tool bars? What if I want one like the MacOS? I've seen people do those.
