Hi there,

Kindly clean by OS removing unrequired files it's acting up again, I would have done myself if it was windows don't know Zorin/ Linux commands.............

Do you agree with the following comments about Zorin:

To my mind, Zorin has a whole bunch of options of emulating a variety of DEs. That could complicate matters as far as trouble-shooting why something happens and something else doesn't.

Hoping to get assistance from you.

Regards!

Chris.

Can Zorin be repaired by running the original DVD again?

Thanks.

Not trying to remove any thing just install what is needed.

True staying with one is smart. Attached is a screen shot of BleachBit showing some errors that I fail to understand.

Update manager fails to update.

I shouldn't have installed:

You might get a message about language support pop up, you can ignore it for now.

Your current desktop should have the panel at the bottom, (When you start after first boot, your desktop will have the Win7 look!) click on the left button and type “look” in search, the Zorin Look Changer will appear, open it and select Gnome 2, your desktop should change automatically and you should now have a Gnome 2 desktop, log out and back in again just to make sure it works!!.

Click on “Applications” > “Accessories” and then drag “Terminal” to the top panel beside “Places”, Go to “Applications” “Internet” and drag “Google Chrome” to the top panel, start Google Chrome and type in the address bar “medibuntu repo”, (https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Medibuntu) and then go to the section “Adding The Repository”, add the 2 commands one after the other in the terminal, once the Medibuntu Repository has been added, you can close the terminal.

Click on “Applications” > System Tools > Administration > Synaptic Package Manager and drag it to the top panel, start Synaptic and go to “settings > File > Delete files after download so you don't have any rubbish (trash to the Yanks) in your cache after the installation of software.
Now go to “Settings > Repositories > Zorin Software and mark all available boxes and make sure that the download location is set to “Main”, move to the next window “Other software, and do the same tick thingy, now go to updates and do the same again. Close the Software Sources window and click on “Reload” > “Mark All Upgrades” > “Apply” and let it do its thing, restart your PC after the updates have finished. (Updates may remain blank but are already listed in "Other Software")

Then error messages you get with Bleachbit are becuase you are running it as normal user, if you run BB as root, you won't get those messages!!.

Hi Chris,

what I meant was that if you run root first, you won't get those messages but you will still get them when you run BB as normal user regardless whether or not you had previously ran BB as root or not!!.
