<SOLVED>GParted wont start and a. It about keyboards

[Linux_Newbi]

Hi, me again,

I've just reinstalled sparky, and set all my old stuff up(menu is working fine now) but now GParted refuses to start, from the application menu, start menu, and from file browser, I click on it and nothing happens. As far as I can tell everything else works fine. I've tried apt-get update and upgrade but still no luck, I'm thinking of reinstalling it, but when I go to delete it it wants to delete a sparky-openbox-manager as well(or similar, it was a little while ago) which sound pretty important to me, is it safe to delete this? Or should I try something else first?

Try to run it in a terminal emulator with the command:

Code:

su
gparted

If it will start up, edit as root the file:

Code:

su
leafpad /usr/share/applications/gparted.desktop

Change the line from:

Code:

Exec=gparted-pkexec

to:

Code:

Exec=remsu gparted

Save the file, log out and log in back.

Ok, thanks, I've tried without root and get command not found, usually it's permission denied or similar if I need root, if this is normall I'll try your way tomorrow! long hall to USA tonight.

ok, done, i get this warning when it starts though:



(gpartedbin:3232): Gtk-WARNING **: Unable to locate theme engine in module_path: "murrine",

a bit off topic, where can i find out which keybord i have? its an italian notepad.

[pavroo]

Don't worry about that.



You'd like to find your keyboard model/number or layout?

To check its layout, type:

Code:

cat /etc/default/keyboard

[Linux_Newbi]

I need the layout of the actual keyboard, because it sure isn't what the computer thinks it is. It's Italian I think, includes various letters with accents and the punctuation is all in the wrong place.

[pavroo]

To change the layout keyboard run SparkyCenter-> System-> Keyboard Layout Settings and set yours up.

[Linux_Newbi]

Yes, but I don't know what mine is!

[pavroo]

What is your machine name, model, number, etc.

[Linux_Newbi]

HP 2133, Italian or French origin I think, it sure isn't an English keyboard

[pavroo]

It looks like normal keyboard so try to configure with "standard pc-105-keys Intl" and your language after.

If does it not work, try HP keyboards, there is a few options, but pc-105 should be fine I hope.

[Linux_Newbi]

Ok, thank you ever so much, there are just so many options and I had no idea what half of them mean.
