Your last message to me came through on email but not showing up here - hope that doesn't confuse things. To follow through on your last comments, and to help you better help me, I can say this: I've only had Linux installed about a month. After mucking about for a week I deleted the partition entirely and started agian - much better informed about certain basics. Fedora 23 comes with several graphical installers - supposedly to make life easier! "Software" is their officially supported installer (I hope I'm correct in saying!) although that itself allows one to install Gnome Package manager, and Yum Extender (a gui for rpm). Then there's Fedy - another graphical installer for the rpmfusion repos etc. intended to help with "patent encumbrance". Despite all of this, I tend to use the terminal - I find it easier, and I can see what's going on. However, it had never really occurred to me that it might matter whether I install from standard user with elevated privileges (sudo) or from root itself. Maybe it doesn't. Two 'major' things have occurred since. First was trying to install google-earth. Install failed so I got on the internet. Found a proposed solution that involved hacking the source code to remove two offfending lines. The subsequent install threw up a few problems (including fonts) and it never really ran properly, so I took it out but since it did install a ton of stuff in and around /usr/bin maybe that's one problem. Other could be that just yesterday, in trying increasingly diverse means of solving my problem with all of this, I ran another "dnf autoremove". It found 1.8Gb of 538 files to remove as apparently 'orphaned' but which I suspect may have been partly to do with incorrect install paths. Expecting this to completely break my system I proceeded, only to be surprised that the machine rebooted perfectly, and this time with ALL the little niggles with my installed gnome themes (visual) resolved. Last night, while trying again to build darktable 2.0.2 I I ran the "dnf provides" at the point where the compiler stopped. At that time it said that the @root provided this offending libIlmImf-2.2 library. This morning I boot up and am told to restart to install system upgrades. After that, I run "dnf provides" again further to your email here, and it now tells me no such file exists! Sorry to bang on - promise to stop ;0) Point being, I treat this as a learning experience. All my personal files are on a separate drive. If you think it better I delete the Linux partition entirely and begin again, I can do that. There's learning, and there's banging my head against something hard ;0) ____________________________________________________________________________ darktable user mailing list to unsubscribe send a mail to [email protected]
