Re: cannot load color "black"



Thx for your experience. 
I am not very much sure what's the meaning of this sentence:
> an application that wasn't dealing properly with a remote x-term
You mean the installation of some apps / libs affects the system?

I have installed openoffice recently, not sure if that affects..

Cheers,
Deephay
