Gimp Help library.
by Tom Cada 10 Nov '05

10 Nov '05

I attempted to install the Gimp Help library using SMART and received the message that I would have to downgrade the version of Gimp that was installed (2.2.9-1.guru.suse100@i686) to the earlier one (2.2.8-6@i586). Fair enough so I proceeded, and the install worked well. However, when I ran SuSEconfig, I got many prelink errors about missing dependencies for the various plugins. A sample from the log follows: /usr/sbin/prelink: /opt/gnome/lib/gimp/2.0/plug-ins/aa: Could not find one of the dependencies /usr/sbin/prelink: /opt/gnome/lib/gimp/2.0/plug-ins/fp: Could not find one of the dependencies /usr/sbin/prelink: /opt/gnome/lib/gimp/2.0/plug-ins/CEL: Could not find one of the dependencies /usr/sbin/prelink: /opt/gnome/lib/gimp/2.0/plug-ins/bmp: Could not find one of the dependencies /usr/sbin/prelink: /opt/gnome/lib/gimp/2.0/plug-ins/dog: Could not find one of the dependencies /usr/sbin/prelink: /opt/gnome/lib/gimp/2.0/plug-ins/gbr: Could not find one of the dependencies /usr/sbin/prelink: /opt/gnome/lib/gimp/2.0/plug-ins/gee: Could not find one of the dependencies /usr/sbin/prelink: /opt/gnome/lib/gimp/2.0/plug-ins/gif: Could not find one of the dependencies /usr/sbin/prelink: /opt/gnome/lib/gimp/2.0/plug-ins/gih: Could not find one of the dependencies /usr/sbin/prelink: /opt/gnome/lib/gimp/2.0/plug-ins/gtm: Could not find one of the dependencies /usr/sbin/prelink: /opt/gnome/lib/gimp/2.0/plug-ins/hot: Could not find one of the dependencies /usr/sbin/prelink: /opt/gnome/lib/gimp/2.0/plug-ins/lic: Could not find one of the dependencies /usr/sbin/prelink: /opt/gnome/lib/gimp/2.0/plug-ins/mng: Could not find one of the dependencies /usr/sbin/prelink: /opt/gnome/lib/gimp/2.0/plug-ins/pat: Could not find one of the dependencies /usr/sbin/prelink: /opt/gnome/lib/gimp/2.0/plug-ins/pcx: Could not find one of the dependencies /usr/sbin/prelink: /opt/gnome/lib/gimp/2.0/plug-ins/pix: Could not find one of the dependencies /usr/sbin/prelink: /opt/gnome/lib/gimp/2.0/plug-ins/png: Could not find one of the dependencies /usr/sbin/prelink: /opt/gnome/lib/gimp/2.0/plug-ins/pnm: Could not find one of the dependencies Needless to say Gimp did not work after this. I re-installed the newer version, it prelinked properly, and all is well except that I don't have the help library. Any suggestions? Thanks... Tom.

Gimp window too big.
by Tom Cada 09 Nov '05

09 Nov '05

Has anyone had a problem with the print setup window in the Gimp? When selecting the print option in the File menu, it generates a window who's height exceeds the height of the display. In addition, the window cannot be resized vertically. The various buttons on the bottom of the screen are unreadable. I have set up my display in Yast carefully to reflect the actual size of the LCD panel. I have upgraded to version 2.2.9. Any thoughts? Thanks... Tom.

new build server
by Andreas Girardet 08 Nov '05

Hello Team The super host has moved from a Virtual machine to the main host to get better performance out of it. If you have a login you should now be able to log into an ssh -jail and update the repository. The build server setup is progressing well and I am next setting it up so that we can check spec files into CVS and have an automatic build system create the repository and so on automatically. This is how it is going to work: 1.) You Create spec file and test package locally 2.) You check spec file and sources into CVS 3.) The build system will pick up the change within a few minutes and queue the build 4.) Build is automatically executed and the resulting package is put into a testing apt repository 5.) Once tested the package is moved into the final repository Thanks to the Yoper guys for working together on this as we are now using a SUSE10.0 system as a common build server with Yoper. Andreas

Error/Warning messages from kynaptic

I have successfully installed SLICK RC1 October 3rd version. In installing extra programs (Kpowersave, netapplet, Kontact etc) using kynaptic I am getting some warning or error messages. These don't seem to cause any problems but still, one never knows. A typical log output from kynaptic follows: While installing package netapplet-1.0.8-11: Starting SuSEconfig, the SuSE Configuration Tool... Running in full featured mode.

SUPER
by Andreas Girardet 04 Nov '05

Hi team What next? Since I do have quite considerable consulting happening (spreading Linux's wings) we need to discuss how the SUPER development is going to proceed. Especially since we had some press on linux.com. The article is ambiguous about my official role at Novell. Even though my managers condone SUPER and SLICK and even see it as a good tool and run it partly themselves, I am in no way officially working on this and am actually a consultant working in the field. I need SLICK for my own every day use as a desktop linux user and I need SLICK to give potential and factual SUSE users a 1 CD installer with all they need to get started. This is what I currently easily already get out of SLICK .... As you can see it fulfills my needs, hence my little effort to do much else. This is the nature of OSS. If you have a need, then you will probably have to implement it yourself. I have a few questions everyone on this list should quickly answer please, if they want to help in shaping the openSUSE future in a superlative future. Do you want to work together in SUPER? Why are you on this list? Who on this list does what exactly to optimize SUSE? How can that be integrated into SLICK? What are your top 3 optimizations/experimental requests/wishes? What are your expectations on a release cicle? Do you want an account on the build server? What question do you want to ask? Personally I want to restrict my involvement in SUPER to the few packages I do need and the mastering of the final iso with your work. Please send me a reply either directly (anonymous) or to the list, if you want to have a discussion about your answers. Next I collate the answers into a WIKI entry and we post the findings to the main list for feedback. Then this list decides on our development goals and the time lines. So please give me some feedback as I think we need a bit of more structure ... Go SUSE go!
