Comment 17 for bug 858978

Favux,

I assume I have sudo installed... I use the sudo command often enough during installations, and a quick search does not lead me to any other package samed sudo. I am realatively new to linux in general, so I can get stumped by simple questions... sorry.

As for the install, I ended up installing manually from the INSTALLER.txt. Unfortunately, I spent so much time digging through the xrotate.py script (that was my first look at python code) that I can't remember exactly what made me go through the steps in the intaller text. I believe I tried to install by running the 'magick-rotation' script, but the program did not run, and the installation files did not show up in the indicated folders, so I went through the manual installation instructions instead and that worked fine.

I don't really know why the install didn't work the first time, though, since I just went right to the manual instructions without giving it much thought.

Also, I just got this computer and fresh installed Fedora 15 about a week ago, so I suppose xinput is not installed by default.

Thank you for all the great input and quick responses. It's really cool to see the open source community at work!
