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:
If it will start up, edit as root the file:
Code:
su
leafpad /usr/share/applications/gparted.desktop
Change the line from:
to:
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.
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
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.
To change the layout keyboard run SparkyCenter-> System-> Keyboard Layout Settings and set yours up.
Yes, but I don't know what mine is!
What is your machine name, model, number, etc.
HP 2133, Italian or French origin I think, it sure isn't an English keyboard
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.
Ok, thank you ever so much, there are just so many options and I had no idea what half of them mean.
