Gnome Desktop appears on 1 operating systems as a functional file. Although it can be found with greater or lesser success on any operating system, it will only be useful on Linux. It is recommended to use Gnome Desktop to handle this file. This is a program created by The GNOME Project. There are also 1 alternative programs to handle the REAL file.

How to open REAL file?
The main problem with Gnome Desktop is that the REAL file is incorrectly associated with programs. This is manifested by the fact that REAL files open in unusual applications or do not have an assigned program. How to solve such a problem?
The first thing you should do is just "doubleclick" on the REAL file icon you want to open. If the operating system has an appropriate application to support it and there is also an association between the file and the program, the file should be opened.
Step 1. Install Gnome Desktop
In this case, you should first verify that the Gnome Desktop application is installed on the computer. This can be achieved by typing Gnome Desktop into the operating system search engine. If it is not, installation may solve the problem, as most applications create file associations during installation. Later in this article you will find a list of programs that can open REAL files.
Programs to open REAL file
Remember to download programs supporting REAL files only from verified and safe sources. We suggest using the websites of software developers.
Step 2. Create association of Gnome Desktop with REAL files
If, despite the installed application, the REAL file does not start in the Gnome Desktop application, you must create a file association. It is most convenient to call the context menu with the right mouse button and select Properties. The window will show, among other things, the type of the file and the information by which the program is used to launch the file. Using the "Change" button we can select the desired program. The program should be visible in the window, otherwise it should be selected manually using the "Browse" button and the program installation directory should be indicated. Checking the "Always use the selected program ..." box will permanently associate the REAL file with the Gnome Desktop program.
Step 3. Update Gnome Desktop to the latest version
If, however, after binding Gnome Desktop with Gnome Desktop there were still problems, you should update the program to the latest version. Some applications allow you to update from the program level, and for others you need to download the installer from the The GNOME Project page and install.
Step 4. Check for the following problems with the REAL file
The problem may also be with the file itself if the above steps don't work. The most common file problems are:
The REAL file may be unusually small compared to the original file. This is most often caused by a problem while downloading the REAL file. Downloading the file again should fix the problem.
The computer may have fallen victim to a computer virus or hacker. Perform a virus scan using available and up-to-date anti-virus software. Some antivirus vendors also provide free online scanners. However, it is important to scan the entire system, not only the file REAL or the program directory. As a result of the scan, sometimes it is not possible to recover REAL files, which are deleted if there is a backup of this file, then after restoring it, it must also be scanned.
This can happen especially when the program is dynamically developed and the structure of the REAL files changes over time. Help should be sought from the software developer, as they usually recommend using free file converters or installing an older version of the program.
The file may be corrupted in a number of ways. Repairing is very dependent on the file type. Sometimes the program itself has options to repair the most popular REAL file corruption. You can restore the file from a backup or use The GNOME Project help.
When reading, a message appears that the file was encrypted or corrupted. The encrypted REAL files cannot be played on other computers than the one on which they were encrypted, they must be decrypted before using on another device.
The operating system protects files in some locations (e.g. the root of the system partition) against unauthorized access. The problem is only writing to the file, not reading it. It is best to move REAL to a different directory.
This problem only occurs with more complex files. You may find that another program you are using is preventing you from working with the file. Closing other programs should help. Sometimes you have to wait for the session to the file REAL to close. However, some background programs may block the REAL file while scanning. If the problem persists, restart the machine.
