After spending 6hours downloading gnome xinima from the net, it took 45min to install.
Thinking it was all good, I rebooted the machine and logged onto the system, into my new gnome environment.
Well the first thing that happened was that the nuatilse has a fit and quits.
So I thought, I might chil listening to music using xmms. Well it did kind of works, mp3 did play, but there was not sound output :(
I tested the soubd by switching on gnome's sound server. That yielded no results, not even any anoying beeps.
I checked sound usng mpg123. That was fine. So it seems anything related to gnome does not work.
On the top of that, the system has become twice as slower. It was bad enough as it is with CDE.
If anyone else as had any success with gnome it would be gratefull for your fixes.
thank you.
