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. The following packages have unmet dependencies: gnome-shell : Depends: mutter but it is not going to be installed it asks for mutter, yet mutter is already installed. I think it asks for different version of mutter.

I'm attempting to install a command-line version of Maverick, from the alternate CD. I'm using the 64-bit version. The installation has gone fine - however, I'm having troubles getting the wireless to work. I've installed wireless-tools by carting the *.deb archive over from another computer - this seemed to go fine, and iwconfig shows my wireless card as "wlan0". However, even after setting the essid and the WEP key I can't connect to the internet (tested this using apt-get). I know that this wireless card requires the "rtl8187se" module, which automatically loads with the desktop version of Maverick - however, it isn't working on the command-line. Running "sudo modprobe rtl8187se" pings back an error message saying that the module can't be found. Is there a way for me to manually install it or "find" it?

I downloaded the 64bit Gnome Live CD to play around with it.. I thought there was a new Gnome shell, new interface etc. Am I missing something?

I'm running Intrepid and so far have failed to come up with anything other than detailed instructions on how to compile/install Gnome-Shell. Has anyone come up with a binary of gnome shell? It seems I once saw a link to a PPA...or maybe I'm just hallucinating

I've just installed the latest OpenSUSE 11.3 Gnome 3 Reload [and in so doing, by the way, replaced two other oses one advertised as something else but turned out to be what I regard as a poor imitatian of OpenSUSE 11.3 (and to add insult to injury it even identified itself as OpenSUSE 11.3 after install!) and the other a Linux distro more popular than OpenSUSE but failing to deliver a working Gnome 3 shell].
Which brings me to the subject at hand: Gnome 3 shell. I'm presently using the Gnome 3 panel (which I got after having to select the failsafe option after rebooting). OpenSUSE's Gnome 3 shell display is all jumbled up to the point of being unusable. Although I couldn't make out any legible print in the terminal (most of the Applications icons are recogniseable if rather tattered-looking), I had hoped I could still type in su>enter>password>enter>nvidia-xconfig>enter.
What do I do now to get a screenshot-like Gnome 3 shell display? I realize that this computer is rather resource-shabby, but I figure that if it'll run MintMenu, it should be able to run any other Gnome shell.

I installed 11.3 last week and eventually got nvidia drivers working. I was quite happy how most things were progressing, then the temptation to upgrade to 11.4 got too much I upgraded today (online, not dvd) and everything went well. On rebooting the desktop came up as normal and all was good. I installed nvidia and got that working ok. I then installed Gnome-Shell and couldn't figure out how to get it working. I've been using Fedora recently and the Gnome-Shell option is available at Login. I then discovered the gnome-shell --replace terminal command and I tried it. It seemed to load ok, but as I had used the terminal, when I closed the terminal it seems like compiz crashed. I lost all windows borders and nothing was usable. I REISUB'd and started again. On reboot I got a CLI login prompt. After logging in I tried startx, to no avail. I then tried gdm start and got to the desktop again (not gnome-shell). I Alt+F2'd and ran gnome-shell --replace again and all was good - except no network I rebooted again, and got the CLI again. Went through it all again and tried to configure network (wireless) no good. I then connected an ethernet cable and tried again. That worked, but I'm not sure why - I didn't think anything was downloaded. Anyway wireless now works ok - even on reboot. However I'm still getting dumped to the CLI login on restarts.

Is there any way I can switch my desktop shell from unity to, say, gnome-shell? I can switch using other console shell I like (bash, csh, fish, etc.). Assume that there is a stable alternative desktop shell, I should be able to choose, too.
(For console shell, we goes to /etc/passwd. But for desktop, I can't find the way to config.)

I'm unable to reset using either the reset option in gnome shell or the command using a terminal. When I select it the shell exits and displays the graphic "exploding" and then it just sits there. Shutdown works fine; just no reset. Any ideas? I've installed from the DVD. I booted the live CD and it resets just fine so I know it's no my hardware

I'm thinking about the near future with Unity and GNOME Shell. I've tried both a little and wondered what I'm missing; they seem pretty much the same on the outside! I'm assuming it's similar to GNOME and XFCE; they look quite similar, with XFCE aiming to be lighter-weight, but what's the difference between these two new 3D environments? Why did Ubuntu fork the GNOME environment when it barely differs from what GNOME are providing?

I tested 11.04 for a couple of days, and it was (my opinion, of course,) terrible! I want to try out Gnome Shell, but I'd rather do so on my 10.10 install, instead of having to mess with the mess of 11.04. Anybody know of a PPA that works with 10.10?

is there some wiki page on GNOME or Fedora that list which graphics cards work without problems on Fedora 15 with GNOME Shell? I have tried 3 older cards and they all failed, so I would like to share this info with others so people know which cards to avoid if they want to use full features of GNOME 3 via GNOME Shell.

Please excuse my ignorance, but I need to get it straight. I've been reading and trying to find out more about these three new desktop environments, but still am rather confused. I have had Unity on my netbook for a couple of months now and know it inside out (more or less by now). The problem is: what is the main difference between Gnome 3 and Gnome Shell?
To my understanding Gnome 3 will be a continuation of the panelled Gnome we are so used to? But then I read the panels will be gone forever, so I'm confused again Gnome Shell is somewhat similar-looking to Unity, but I haven't had a chance to try it properly yet.

What has happened to the option to display names of each workspace on the lower panel bar?
Normally it was just a case of 'right click' any of the workspace and selecting 'Preferences', setting number of workspaces required and then using the name listbox to name each to desired title. In Maverick only the number of work places can be set; the list of names facility has been deleted from display. The current workspace name displays in the tooltip display as "workspace n", but there seems to be no easy way to change this title.
In 'gconf-editor' under schemas>apps>workspace_switcher_applet>prefs>displ ay_workspace_names it only gives the system message "...can't be edited..."

after the upgrade to maverick, gnome-session-save doesn't save applications on shutdown or logout as it did on Lucid.I've noticed the following things:
On Lucid, if I had a stopped job in a shell, the system refused to logout or shutdown, showing a confirmation window. On Maverick, the CPU goes to 100% and then the computer shuts down; on reboot, no application is saved
On Maverick, if there are NO stopped jobs in a shell, I can logout cleanly but only a few applications are saved (eg. terminal, firefox) but others aren't (eg. empathy,evolution) I've checked "Automatically remember application on exit" in "Session management" menu.

To flesh out my *nix capability, I create new identities and give them the functionality that I liked in previous ones. I've added the "open terminal here" script, which I find invaluable. Now I want to change the prompt. This is what the terminal does right now:
ITo run a command as administrator (user "root"), use "sudo <command>".
See "man sudo_root" for details.
elliot@dan:/media/KINGSTON$
- Where do I go to shorten the prompt dramatically? I can't really think of a situation where a shorter prompt isn't better or color matters.
- How do I adios the 2 sentences that want to appear every time I open this terminal? I'm aware what sudo does.
- Instead, I would like the equivalent of a pwd command. Where would I put that?
- How do I get the output of this terminal to be simultaneously saved in a file. I do so much copying and pasting out of these terminals that I'm looking for easier ways to do it.

I am creating one bash script name as pathsetup.sh.
In that , I am trying to setup a path to my user profile. S my script content is as follows,
pathsetup.sh contains,
#!/bin/bash
MY_PATH=/home/arun/NS3/ns-3.9/build
export PATH=$PATH:$MY_PATH
echo "$PATH"
If I run the script, when run time it shows the MY_PATH added to PATH.
But, when I check it in terminal after run, it doesn't add the PATH.
if I put echo $PATH in terminal, it show old path.
How can I add path permanently to a user.
I read, ~.bash_profile , we can add the path permanently for a user.
But, I want to add MY_PATH for a specific time. I don't want any user change the file .bash_profile each time.
Just running the pathsetup.sh script, MY_PATH should be added to the user PATH.
Instead of .bash_profile, using shell script, can it possible to add path permenetly for a user.

I cannot install gnome. It complains about swfdec-mozilla needing to be installed, I install it, and it now needs epiphany-extensions, which uninstalls swfdec-mozilla.
So there are conflicting dependencies. Could someone fix this?

I recently installed Ubuntu 10.04 and am running gnome desktop. I have tried to install Quantas Pro using Ubuntu Software Center and synaptic unsuccessfully. I see from researching the forums that it is possible but I need specific instructions. I don't know what I am doing wrong. I have read that I will need a lot of dependencies. How do I load the KDE dependencies with Quantas? I assumed I had not loaded the needed KDE dependencies for Gnome.

I 've been trying to install Globalmenu menubar after having installed all the other Global menu packages that appear on the Ubuntu Software Center. I 'm using Ubuntu 10.10 with Gnome environment and mostly as a graphic environment (i don't have knowledge on source codes)..The error message that i get when i try to install the menubar is the following: Package dependencies cannot be resolvedThis error could be caused by required additional software packages which are missing or not installable. Furthermore there could be a conflict between software packages which are not allowed to be installed at the same time.

Running 10.10 with compiz and gnome
The whole screen goes dim for any of the below examples. running "compiz --replace" fixes it until any of the below happens again. When the screen is dim, a new window opened (ex: firefox new window or a new gnome terminal) is full brightness while the rest of the screen stays dim.
Following causes the screen to go dim: In the screen saver - hit the delete key to backspace when the password field is empty. in firefox - ^f to find on a page - start typing and as soon as the find field has text that does not exist anywhere on the page "Phrase not found" the screen dims. in gnome terminal - the profile has the terminal bell checkbox ON - hit backspace on a bash input line with no text on it.

My MBP fails to boot Arch. This is what I did to install ArchLinux. Install rEFIT.
Partition using disk utility such that first one is Mac partition, second is Arch & the third ie the last one is windows.
Then put Windows 7 CD, select it from rEFIT and install it. Similar, install ArchLinux just as I did for windows.
Then finally to install the GRUB, I issued the command $grub-install --root-directory=/mnt/arch - recheck /dev/sda3 (after mounting my /dev/sda3 to /mnt/arch).
This is the exact error and then it drops to recovery:
Error after typing exit:
I have tried rootfstype too. No success.
My menu.lst (I have tried /dev/sda3 too):
