Hello
I was trying to install xfce on a Ganome Ubuntu 8.04
I searched for 'xubuntu-desktop' in the synaptic, download started
while downloading firefox and seamonkey behaved notoriously.
Firefox had the profile not recognized...suddenly! I mean by 'not recognized' that
I found no bookmarks, and no even a 'bookmarks' toolbar there in the right-click menu.
It closes and disappears when I performed a google search
Same immediate closing happened whis Seamonkey.
I thought maybe a memory problem, while I have 1.5 GB RAM and Celeron 2.6
I waited until downloading finished and installation started, then I received the following two error messages with the title in the message box saying:
An error has occurred!" First one here, then when I click OK it displays the next smaller one:
E: /var/cache/apt/archives/vim-runtime_1%3a7.1-138+1ubuntu3.1_all.deb: failed in buffer_write(fd) (10, ret=-1)

E: dpkg was interrupted, you must manually run 'dpkg --configure -a' to correct the problem.
E: _cache->open() failed, please report.I put the command into the command line from the application-run icon I put on the toolbar. I once didn't check the "run in terminal" and the other once I checked it..both brought nothing.
I thought it might be correct to do the installation again, but every time I open Synaptic, it gives me the same messages and close itself.
I also noticed the XFCE option in the Session Options log in menu, which means it's there!!
Now, what do you thing I should do to be able to use both Gnome and XFCE properly?
I am very new to Linux practice though :)
Thanks a lot
