Hello! To first - sorry for my bad English.
I'm happy to found DreamLinux distro, it is funderfull and working in Estonian, faster then Ubuntu.
I have Dell Latitude C610, P-III, 1GHz, 384 MB RAM.
If I installing Dream 3.2 Easy-Install is working. In Dream 3.5 Easy-Install not working, in taskbar coming to any seconds - Starting Easy.. and  disappear.
In Dream 3.2 I have install Google Earth, Wine, but install Opera and Picasa not. My be it's download versions and adress is old and not use. In installer answer is - check net conection.
When I install Dream 3.5 to Deram 3.2 without format in DL install, I have easy-installed programs and they working.

I noticed the same thing as kramm,but after updating/upgrading DL,everything is working OK.

In my installation of DreamLinux 3.5 (KDE4), libgtk2-ruby1.8 was installed; libgtk2-ruby wasn't installed so I installed it. Now, when I click Easy Install, the icon bounces on the desktop for a while, then winks out. The internet is connected, I've been trying for several days now, I've done update and upgrade.

I tried running it in a root terminal using the icon settings for that entry in the KDE menu ( # easyinstall.rb ) I get these error messages:

Code:

No protocol specified
/usr/lib/ruby/gtk2.rb:12:in 'init': Cannot open display: :0.0 (GTK::InitError)
    from /usr/lib/ruby/1.8/gtk2.rb:12
    from /usr/local/bin/easyinstall.rb:13:in 'require'
    from /usr/local/bin/easyinstall.rb:13

Hope that's enough to help in the detective work.

You did follow the steps listed in this post right?

Yes, I did. 1) My internet connection is made. 2) I've been trying for several days. 3) I've done update and upgrade. 4) libgtk2-ruby1.8 was installed; libgtk2-ruby was not installed so I installed it.

Follow these steps to the letter (re-install libgtk2-ruby1.:

Xorg has been pinned at this version as it was causing breakage with some drivers. Just update and upgrade everything else.

Ok, next.

Code:

sudo apt-get install dream-update

Code:

sudo apt-get install libgtk2-ruby libgtk2-ruby1.8

Code:

sudo apt-get update && sudo apt-get upgrade

Now try Easy Install with the launcher or the command line.

Code:

gksudo /usr/local/bin/easyinst.rb

or

Code:

gksudo /usr/local/bin/easyinstall.rb

This has fixed it for most people. Try forcing a re-install of it all. If it doesn't work then we will have to wait for Rich or someone else to jump in...

OK, did all that letter by letter :^>. Reinstalled both lib files, update, upgrade, run easyinst.rb/easyinstall.rb in root term and from the menu.

In root term I get the same error messages I got before:

Code:

No protocol specified
/usr/lib/ruby/gtk2.rb:12:in 'init': Cannot open display: :0.0 (GTK::InitError)
    from /usr/lib/ruby/1.8/gtk2.rb:12
    from /usr/local/bin/easyinstall.rb:13:in 'require'
    from /usr/local/bin/easyinstall.rb:13

From the menu, I get a terminal window that says 'sudo...', and then it disappears.

Oddly, neither easyinst.rb nor easyinstall.rb appear in synaptic. And apt-get install could not find either.
