[SuSE Linux] GNOME reinstall HELP !!
by gh＠simteam.com 03 Mar '99

03 Mar '99

Hi, I didn t found the gmc ( GNOME commander )in the 6.0 distros CDs. BTW GNOME does not work anymore. I reinstalled all the packages from the GNOME series (choosing R in YAST) but now it says "libglib missing" or something like that I'd like to know if someone succeed with the new GNOME (not the one on the CDs, because this one work but gmc is not present (the file manager is not in), or how to reinstall the one fom the CDs ( it was fine after all!! I want my GNOME back !!!! ). Just an other question if I do ldconfig I got this warning: ldconfig: warning: can't open /usr/i486-linux-libc6/lib/libqimgio.so (No such file or directory), skipping Is it something you can just ignore ??? is there a way to fix this ??? aren't we using this libc6 ( aka Glibc in 6.0) or did I mixed everythings up :( !! Any clue/help/tip will be greatly appreciated, especially on getting rid of the warnings and getting GNOME back regards to all.

While it's certainly true that RH5.2 sucks a lot, I can't say the same of RH5.1. While I never got RH5.2 to install & run perfectly on my computer (especilly Internet conection), RH5.1 ran perfectly. My opinion is there's no such a thing as a better distro, it's only that for some of us one or another works and fits better with us.

[SuSE Linux] KSCD, KDE1.1, Linux 2.2.2
by hattons＠CPKWEBSER5.ncr.disa.mil 03 Mar '99

Does anybody have their KSCD workin under kernel 2.2.2 & KDE 1.1? Mine is falkey. I would love to know if anybody either has this working or has had the same problem I have. It would help me greatly in troubleshooting this. The problems are that kscd will not interact with the CD-ROM drive unless I have touched it with another program. If I mount /cdrom with a music CD in the drive the it tries to mount but fails. I can then access the drive to play music. I can never get the darn thing to eject.
