Terminus and SuSE 8.2
by Marcel Lecker 15 Jun '03

15 Jun '03

Has anyone had any luck getting the game Terminus running in SuSE 8.2, if so, what is the trick? I have tired a number things and the only thing I figure it might be is the libc version (the game - abliet an older one - suggests it would run fine with libc 1.2 or greater) or our old friend mesa (ie. the game requires a newer version than what is there). I've checked the groups.google.com (lists) and a number of other avenues without luck. I have game installed in a typical location: /usr/local/games where I have run others from successfully. when I start Terminus, I run it as user$ terminus user$ terminus +gfx_renderer "opengl" and it simply fails to start, asks for another disk and fails, seg faults etc. At any rate, I have yet to get past the game intro. any advice would be appreciated. Also I have found the information on the terminus.cnf file sketchy. I don't have one and don't know wherther to import one form somewhere, create one from scratch, etc. But I don't have on to start with. Marcel -- Marcel Lecker <volvox(a)telusplanet.net>

Logitech Quickcam Express
by Ricardo Wagemaker 10 Jun '03

10 Jun '03

Hi, I was wondering if the Logitech Quickcam Express will work with Suse 8.1 & 8.2. If any one has managed to get it working please let me know. As I had to sell my Quickcam Pro 4000, as I could not get it working, and then I read somewhere that Suse had ready builed in drivers for the Logitech Quickcam Express. Is that true?

kscd won't save config in SuSE 8.2
by Eddie 01 Jun '03

01 Jun '03

I have a dvd drive on hdc and a cdrecorder on hdd. The cdrecorder has an audio connection to my soundcard. I am trying to configure kscd to use the cdrecorder as the audio device. However, every time I close and restart kscd all configuration setting have gone and it is back to its default setting and I have to reconfigure it. Is there a way in which I can get kscd to store the configuration? Previously, I've edited the ~/.kde/share/config/kscdrc but this file seems to have minimal data e.g. [KFileDialog Settings] Automatic Preview=true Preview Size=60 ShowPreviews=false ViewMode=SmallColumns and I don't remember the options or their format. Would be grateful for any pointers. Thanks Eddie

JACK and synths
by David Herman 27 May '03

27 May '03

Has anyone here been able to build a recent version of JACK http://jackit.sourceforge.net on suse 8.1? I'm having no luck I always hit errors when the examples dir starts to compile. I was reading the synth article in linux journal and got all excited but so far have had little luck getting any of the mentioned synths to work. (actually Bristol works nicely, and although it had an error compiling, amsynthe looks like it wants to workalso). Tips? recommended synth progs for suse? thanks -- dh Don't shop at GoogleGear.com!

Autocrop with gimp
by Prabu Subroto 14 May '03

14 May '03

Dear my friends... I need to have some pictures that I make with Gimp. I need some pictures to put them on my homepage. My homepage has a background motive (<body background="bgprabu.jpg">). The problem comes because I need my pictures without background (white color) so the background motive of my homepage seen just stop on the edge (side) of my pictures. Now, what is happening on my homepage is the background motives stop on the white background of my pictures. I tried to crop my pictures. So I want to take the pictures but not the background of my picture (with white color) because if I open these pictures with gimp than I can see that these pictures have actually square form. I need only the object of the picture but not its white background so I should crop the area of the picture where content the picture. I tried to crop my pictures with autocrop : - select the picture with one click, - right click, - select image, - select transform, - select autocrop. But nothing happen on the picture. I can not remove the area outside the picture object. I tried to take crop the picture : - View in (Zoom in), - and select the region with hand drawn regions, - and crop it, - copy it onto a new canvas with transparent background, But after I save it and open it back (again) than I find the picture which just I made with transparent background still has the white background. Please tell me how to do that. I read the documentation and follow what it said but I still don't succeeded. Thank you very much in advance. __________________________________ Do you Yahoo!?
