that command runs smothely, no problems. but still, comix doesn't work. same errors as before.

there might be something wrong with the application manager. i uninstalled bomberman, but the icon is still there (but the game itself is gone).

is there a way to fix the program manager?

anyways, THANK YOU very much for your patience & help!

sounds like maybe the indexing is messed up.

you can try an "apt-get clean" (as root) from the xterm prompt... that would (among other cleanup activities) rebuild and re-index the cache.

There's some info here for removing the bomberman icon.

As for comix, if you want to carry on trying, my next suggestion is to:
Code:
sudo gainroot
apt-get remove comix
apt-get clean

apt-get install comix
and keep an eye out for any errors.

Woo, the cavalry. Thanks briand

thank you two!

well, "apt-get clean" didn't do anything.

furthermore, unistalling went fine, updating also. some new things were installed. everything without error. i could also install comix without a problem.
but still not working

Hmm...
Nothing wrong with the repo - I've just managed to download and install it successfully.
Then when I run comix in xterm I get:
Code:
~$ comix
/usr/bin/comix:423: GtkWarning: gtk_widget_size_allocate(): attempt to allocate widget with width -24 and height 0
  self.window.realize()

and comix runs fine.
You get absolutely no output?

Hmm.

Perhaps there's an executable (shell script??) called 'comix' in your $PATH before the binary in /usr/bin...

Try this:

as root, type: which comix

...and see what it returns. It should say /usr/bin/comix

next, try running 'comix' from the prompt by typing out the full filespec, ie: /usr/bin/comix
