Have downloaded Galleria and all necessary supporting modules. Have enabled them, configured permissions. Where do I go from here? I am trying to create a gallery with a scrolling carousel beneath. Please help, new to Drupal, and feeling in over my head. :P

Enable Galleria in a content type
You need to use an existing content type, or create a new one. Editing the content type should let you enable Galleria.

I enabled galleria- thank you
I enabled galleria- thank you :) however when I upload images, It shows the main image and a small scroller, can I edit the way this looks? If I click on the main image being displayed, [what im guessing is] the gallery window pops up, a grayish black square, but no image is in the box, only a camera w a question mark. ? Im using gifs, is this why? or are my settings wrong ? - also I have Lightbox2, its turned on, but how do i use this ?
ImageCache profile
You need to create an imagecache profile for Galleria to resize the picture correctly.
You also need configure Galleria (/admin/settings/galleria) and tell it to use the imagecache profile you created.
From your message I deduce that Galleria is working properly (main image and a small scroller). As for Lightbox2, on my system, I configured Galleria to use no imagecache profile, so that Lightbox will look for the original image. But you may need to create an imagecache profile.
As for theming (editing the way it looks), you might want to copy and modify the galleria.tpl.php file in your theme folder and also edit the main template file where your Galleria is shown. For example, for the content type "albums", you would need to create the page-albums.tpl.php file.

hiiiiiiiiii xmacinfo I want
hiiiiiiiiii xmacinfo
I want to make same as http://galleria.aino.se/
steps done:
1.Extract the contents of the project into your modules directory, probably at /sites/all/modules/views_slideshow_galleria.
2. Also install Views and Views Slideshow (available from http://drupal.org/project/views and http://drupal.org/project/views_slideshow respectively).
3. Download the Galleria jQuery plugin from http://github.com/aino/galleria/archives/master.
4. Extract the contents of that archive into /sites/all/libraries
I created a content type with an image field. created some nodes for same and uploaded images to it. then added view with style= slideshow (Galleria mode) , filters= node type, fields= content image.
but its not working as same as above link so can you please tell me what is wrong i m doing or please tell me a good tutorial related to this.
There are three Galleria modules (and more)
Galleria is the first module I tried and used:
http://drupal.org/project/galleria
Views Galleria uses Views only:
http://drupal.org/project/views_galleria
And Views Slideshow: Galleria is using Views Slideshow:
http://drupal.org/project/views_slideshow_galleria
I believe it can become quite confusing when to many modules are using the same jQuery plug-ins. Furthermore, older modules will work with older version of the Galleria plug-in.
Please note that I used only the first one, Galleria, that do not use Views, and I was under the impression that you were using that one. I have not tried the other two modules.
It looks like that you are using the Views Slideshow: Galleria module. So I would suggest opening a support issue from that module page:
http://drupal.org/project/issues/views_slideshow_galleria?categories=All
Also, look at this issue:
#853204: Galleria 1.2 needs JQuery 1.3 or better; Drupal 6 comes with JQuery 1.2

I thought I hated drupal as I was starting to realize that getting a simple slide show to work took days worth of looking around in forums and anything just to get a few modules to play together nicely only to realize I needed 50 more modules just to get them to work.
Then I googled "i ^ucking hate drupal" and walaa.. i finally got some answers: http://amplicate.com/hate/drupal
Most people hate drupal because it mostly sucks.
You will get elitist snobby asshat answers here in the help area, these folks go into programming for the same reason people with Napoleon complex become cops.
Good luck!
