[SuSE Linux] WindowMaker-0.19.1 RPMS
by sphilp＠ameritech.net 07 Sep '98

07 Sep '98

Well, I've gone and done it! After many hours of smacking my head against .spec files, a few reads through the diff infopages, a bit more Diet Coke than the FDA would prefer me to ingest, and nearly a pack of smokes, I've finally created some rpms I can be proud of. My mother, on the other hand, would probably beat me senseless for at least a couple of the above offenses. WindowMaker 0.19.1 is now available for SuSE 5.3. Being new around here, I don't know where it's most appropriate to send these off to. I don't have any available web/ftp space, and none of you wants to suffer FTP attempts over this tiny 28.8k modem link. So, where should these be placed? I've got both binary and source rpms available for WindowMaker-0.19.1 and WindowMaker-data. -- Steve Philp sphilp(a)ameritech.net "The Internet is like crack for smart people" --Arsenio Hall - To get out of this list, please send email to majordomo(a)suse.com with this text in its body: unsubscribe suse-linux-e

LenZ, I suspected that there may be a good reason why scripts should not be run from root, after all I guess a lot of damage can be done - hence the security precautions. However, I could not find any info in the Howto's about this. Thanks for this suggestion. I will give it a try. I'm only trying to run a ppp-on script so that shouldn't cause me too much trouble should it? > Hi, > > On Mon, 7 Sep 1998, John Chajecki wrote: > > > Scripts don't run.

[SuSE Linux] A weekend of frustration!
by chajj001＠leicester.gov.uk 07 Sep '98

07 Sep '98

Hi there, I have just spent virtualy the whole weekend trying to get certain things to get working under my new SuSE Linux 5.2 installation and got very little accomplished. I got the soundcard to work, and printing to my Epson Stylus 600 works OK, but at a snail's pace. I still have the following problems: Problem 1: Can't get serial comms to work. Have tried minicom, seyon, ezppp and wvdial. None of these work. Basically, I can get my modem to dial and establish a connection to either of my ISP's but get no data throughput which means that I never get to the login prompt no matter how many times I tap the return key. I have only one option at this point: hangup - which also works fine!. Problem 2: Scripts don't run. Neither shell scripts nor perl scripts run despite the '#!/bin/sh' and '#!/usr/bin/perl' lines being present. I just get 'Command not found'. I accidentally found that I *could* execute scripts while logged in as a user other then root so it appears that only root cannot execute scripts. In both cases I have been working as root because I want to set things up. I am aware of the rule 'use root only for administrative tasks'. Once I am sure everything is working OK I will use a standard user account. Has anyone experienced or can help me resolve these proplems? I ended up doing a complete re-install twice to try and get these problems (particularly the comms one) resolved but no joy. At the moment my opinion of SuSE Linux is very low. I should not have to spend two full days installing and doing a basic config of an operating system! I would appreciate having my confidence in it restored! Regards.

[SuSE Linux] X server configuration problem in SuSE 5.2
by bresnan＠stanford.edu 07 Sep '98

07 Sep '98

Hi. I really like SuSE 5.2 and am trying to install it on my Thinkpad 560e after succeeding on my desktop. The installation works very well now, except for the X server. When I do "startx", the screen is lit but unreadable (just white on white), and on quitting (via ctrl-alt-backspace), an error message appears, which I cannot figure out from perusing the documentation and xfree faq: FreeFontPath: FPE "/usr/X11R6/lib/X11/fonts/misc/" referent is 2, should be 1; fixing. I have checked my fontpaths, have run mkfontdir in each font folder. Nothing seems to fix the problem. The curious thing is that on an installation of RedHat 4.1 (with XFree 3.3.1 added) on the same machine, the same XF86Config file works perfectly, with no problem. I can't see any difference in the font directories between the RH and the SuSE installations, but there must be something about the font installation on SuSE that is making the problem. --Or am I missing something obvious?

[SuSE Linux] WindowMaker-0.19.1 success!

I've seen a few messages here about problems compiling and installing the latest WindowMaker-0.19.1 on SuSE 5.3. WindowMaker is one of my most favorite window managers, so I decided to take a shot at compiling it. I haven't updated any graphics libs or anything else. This installation is stock 5.3 from the CD. Here's the steps I used to compile/install: 1) tar zxvf WindowMaker-data.tar.gz 2) cd WindowMaker-data 3) mkdir -p /usr/local/share/pixmaps 4) cp pixmaps/* /usr/local/share/pixmaps/. 5) cd .. 6) tar zxvf WindowMaker-0.19.1.tar.gz 7) cd WindowMaker-0.19.1 8) tar zxvf libProplist.tar.gz 9) cd libProplist 10) ./configure 11) make 12) make install 13) cd .. 14) ./configure --enable-sound --with-gfx-libs="-L/usr/X11R6/lib" --with-gfx-incs="-I/usr/X11R6/include" 15) make 16) make install The resulting binaries work extremely well, and the new configuration panel is a dream come true! -- Steve Philp sphilp(a)ameritech.net "The Internet is like crack for smart people" --Arsenio Hall - To get out of this list, please send email to majordomo(a)suse.com with this text in its body: unsubscribe suse-linux-e

When I'm using sax to configure xwindow I can't use a specific server for my card, since it's matrox productiva g100 so I guess I have to use xsvga, and then I write in my monitors sync spec (which btw are 30-70 khz, 50-150 hz) and then enters the desktop page, where the real problem is.
