Apps :: help installing python



Ok. I suspect that at one time you may run the process at user root thereby preventing the list from be writeable by user dsl.

Check for a file by the name of info.lst

Normally this file is removed unsucessful use of the extension browser. You may still have it and with not the proper permissions it would appear to still work but not get updated. Therefore no python in the list.

You can delete this file (info.lst), likely you will need root power to do so.

were do i look for this file at
Are you user 'dsl' and on the X desktop?
Open a shell window from menu or icon.

This is why I recommend frugal installs over traditional. Frugal can always boot into a known state. Traditional hard drive installations on any OS can suffer from system rot.

whoami = dsl
pwd = /home/dsl
ls -l info.file = ls: info.file: no such file or directory

and i tryed a frugel install and it wouldnt work for me

Type

cat /op/.dslrc
