Go to HappyPenguin and there is a project that shows you how to exactly do this. It can also turn it into a game of Breakout and other things.

Need some help with login - .bashrc and .profile
by Peter Sutter 08 Feb '02

08 Feb '02

Hi SuSE experts, I have some questions in regard to what gets when executed whilst doing a login. Yes, I have read the man pages of bash and it appears that these are not applicable to the SuSE V7.3 installation I have. Depending on how I log in, LD_LIBRARY_PATH gets /opt/mozilla ... appended several time. This is without having any ~/.profile, ~/.bashrc, ~/.bash_login or ~/.bash_profile in the user's home directory. LD_LIBRARY_PATH=/opt/mozilla//:/opt/mozilla//components:/opt/kde/lib:/opt/mozilla//:/opt/mozilla//components: I am absolutely confused about what is happening here. I assume that the standard Linux login sequence as described in the bash man pages is not adhered to in SuSE V7.3. Is there any written article about the way a login is performed on SuSE V7.3 that could guide me in the right direction? What I want to do, is to set up some special users to use different libraries etc to standard users. In my opinion this setup should be done in the .profile or .bash_profile in the user's home directory. I put some tracing in the various files. This is the sequence in which the login files are called when one logs in graphically (kde) /etc/profile /usr/X11R6/lib/X11/xdm/Xsession .bashrc /usr/X11R6/lib/X11/xdm/Xsession kde .bashrc /usr/X11R6/lib/X11/xdm/Xsession kde .profile /usr/X11R6/lib/X11/xdm/Xsession kde .bashrc /usr/X11R6/lib/X11/xdm/Xsession kde /etc/profile /bin/bash .bashrc /bin/bas .bash_profile /bin/bash I state the extract from the bash man pages here: When bash is invoked as an interactive login shell, or as a non-interactive shell with the --login option, it first reads and executes commands from the file /etc/profile, if that file exists. After reading that file, it looks for ~/.bash_profile, ~/.bash_login, and ~/.profile, in that order and reads and executes commands from the first one that exists and is readable. This is not what happens, what happens is ~/.profile AND ~/.bash_profile gets executed. /etc/profile is run twice. This leads to the following inconsistency: If I put for example my re-definition of QTDIR into ~/.profile - where in my opinion it should go -, it gets reset by the second invocation of /etc/profile. If I put the definitions into ~/.bashrc, the appends to paths are performed multiple times. Surely, this can't be right. Any help is really appreciated. Peter Sutter

Installing 7.3 Pro
by Patrick 08 Feb '02

08 Feb '02

Hi all, I have searched the archives for a mention of this, but never found anything there. While installing SuSE 7.3, after it finishes loading the first CD, it likes to reboot. Well this machine will not do that, it just locks at the black screen with the X on it! You end up having to manually reset the machine to reboot, then the installer wants to start over either an update or install. I have tried the disableapic & apm=off settings at bootup, but it doesn't seem to help. I installed 7.2 pro in between my 7.3 attempts and it reboots the machine just fine and continues with the install. What am I missing and how do I get it to reboot nicely and continure installing? Thanks in advance. Oh yes, for those people wondering about the Radeon 8500 card working, yes it does very nicely with 7.2 or 7.3, but you need the new XFree86 files v4.2 to get the most out of it! I am not so sure I wouldn't update the kernel as well to the new 2.4.16 versions for optimum results! Just having a lot of fun with SuSE Linux! ;o) Patrick -- ---KMail 1.3.2--- SuSE Linux v7.2 Pro--- Registered Linux User #225206 /tracerb(a)sprintmail.com/ *Magic Page Products* Amiga-Sales & Service-http://home.sprintmail.com/~tracerb

unexpected inconsitency
by Clinton F. Aarts 08 Feb '02

I posted about this previously, my ext2 partition got pooched because of my stupidness. I let my wintel partition grow too much and that dammaged my Linux partition, Lenz whas right about that and I got my solution on the following link http://sdb.suse.de/en/sdb/html/rb_fsckerror.html Since many of us dual boot, if you use 1 hdd for two OS's make sure you keep this url saved, it could be usefull when this happens to you.
