    gnome enviroment for knoppix?

    Hi,

    I am trying to use the gnome desktop but I do not succeed... I know there is a Gnoppix distribution, but I do not want to start from zero, so I tried the folowwing:
    --------------------------
    root > apt-get install gnome-core
    Reading Package Lists... Done
    Building Dependency Tree... Done
    Suggested packages:
    gnome-desktop-environment gnome-help gnome-terminal
    The following packages will be REMOVED:
    galeon gnome-control-center gnome-desktop-data gnome-panel gnome-panel-data
    The following NEW packages will be installed:
    gnome-core
    0 upgraded, 1 newly installed, 5 to remove and 43 not upgraded.
    Need to get 0B/1507kB of archives.
    After unpacking 19.8MB disk space will be freed.
    Do you want to continue? [Y/n] y
    -------------------------
    Afterwards I install the gnome desktop and it says it is not possible to do it:

    root > apt-get install gnome-desktop-environment
    Reading Package Lists... Done
    Building Dependency Tree... Done
    Some packages could not be installed. This may mean that you have
    requested an impossible situation or if you are using the unstable
    distribution that some required packages have not yet been created
    or been moved out of Incoming.

    Since you only requested a single operation it is extremely likely that
    the package is simply not installable and a bug report against
    that package should be filed.
    The following information may help to resolve the situation:

    The following packages have unmet dependencies:
    gnome-desktop-environment: Depends: gnome-core (= 45) but it is not going to be installed
    E: Broken packages

    The question is: Does it really mean that there are no packages to install yet? If not, what am I doing wrong??

    thanks,

    Pau

    Yes that is what it means. Try apt-get -s install gnome-core gnome-desktop-environment if the simulation looks good then remove the -s for the simulation and install. You may need to use gnome-core=45 in the line.

    knoppix + gnome + catalan?

    thanks, Stephen... actually I did an
    apt-get -t unstable install gnome-bin
    and it worked pretty well... even though it is not as fancy as gnoppix, it is gnome... and it is somehow difficult to change some features, like the keyboard (I have a german one)... The most important (to me ) question now is... does anybody know whether there is a translation of gnome in Catalan? and if so... how can I install it in k/gnoppix?

    cheerio,

    Pau

    Good to hear you got it going. For the keyboard you should login to the console as normal user and use su to become root then dpkg-reconfigure console-common and select your keyboard layout and language from the full arch list then dpkg-reconfigure xserver-xfree86 and so the same for the keyboard layout for X. I would imagine there is, I believe there are more translations for Gnome than KDE has and I know that KDE supports your language that is what the kde-i18n-ca localization is for. You should also if you want the the localization of the messages at the console and such install the packages localpurge and localeconf and configure the system to use your localization The localepurge package will save you probably 100-200mb by removing the locales and man pages that you do not use from the system if you install it you should edit the file /etc/locale.gen by hand and remove all lines other than the locales you setup for otherwise they will be regenerated. You should check Gnome for similar a package to the kde-i18n-ca that provides the localization.
