If you don't want to be potentially confused/misinformed, use your delete key now. You need to launch gnopernicus from within gnome itself. This means actually being in gnome, and running gnopernicus from the gnome desktop, not from the text console. I believe the run command is alt+f2, but I don't remember for sure. If I'm correct, you want to do something like pressing alt+f2, typing /usr/bin/gnopernicus, followed by the enter key to launch gnopernicus. Beyond that, I don't remember much. Back when gnopernicus first came out, Mark Mulkayhe (spelling) did a series on acb radios main menu, taking you through the basics of using it with some applications, along with teaching some gnome/x basics. I don't know how much of that is still relevant today, but if you're not up for going through the docs, you might want to find that, and give it a listen as a starting point. Hth somewhat.
