I recently decided to try and install Kuartet. However I'm new to this stuff and think I might have messed up at some point, as my screen is now completely white except for my mouse cursor moving around.
I followed the steps listed at the http://kuartetdesktop.sourceforge.ne...mentation.html
1. Downloaded latest release.
2. Unpacked the archive in my home directory, and went there.
3. As root, I copied the kuartetlib directory to /usr/lib/python2.4/site-packages/ (there was a 2.4 and 2.5 and I wasn't sure if it'd make a difference).
4. I Made the directory /usr/share/kuartet.
5. Then copied these folders to it.
- settings/
- themes/
- images/
- configdialogs/
- plugins/
6. I tried clicking on one of the .py files in the apps folder, but it just opened the file in a text editor.
7. Somehow I got turned onto the idea that I needed to install SuperKaramba so opened Adept to do so.
8. Once SuperKaramba opened it said something about needing to enable Desktop Enhancements to support transparency.
9. I opened the System Settings and found the checkbox to do that, hit apply and suddenly all I could see was a black screen, my cursor on top of it, and faint outlines of the applications that were open. I rebooted, and what was black turned to white.
Can anyone help me to undo/fix this?
