Re: X-Terminal Not working !

do u have the program for root access installed? its called 'rootsh'. if u dont have it, download it. it enables the sudo gainroot function

Re: X-Terminal Not working !

you are usin capital in the beginning ...dont use capital then they will work fine ;)
for example : it should be [ sudo gainroot ] not [Sudo gainroot ]

Re: X-Terminal Not working !

Tab completion won't help at all if the first character is wrong.

Wrong commands, nothing else. Don't use capitals. Linux is case sensitive OS.

why not? isn't it a clear hint that something is wrong when tab offers no completion?

It offers the same amount of information as "not found".

Ok I figured out what my first problem but now I have this problem...

Re: X-Terminal Not working !

The abiword package is only available in extras-devel. You probably don't have it enabled, but read the warnings in the previous link before doing so.

Try this first
sudo gainroot
apt-get clean
apt-get update
apt-get upgrade

then execute
apt-get install abiword

This will solve your problem ;););)

Once I had a same problem as yours when I was trying to backup my apps. Look into here http://talk.maemo.org/showthread.php?t=64648
The procedure which I suggested you indeed solved my problem.

I am frequently using apt-get upgrade command and found, no problem with this.

what about looking outside your own belly button? the upgrade can really mess things up, it isn't app manager compatible at all...

It is:

Code:

apt-get dist-upgrade

that can mess the whole system up.
