compiling GRIP 3.0.1
by Phoenix 30 Sep '02

30 Sep '02

I'd like to run the latest grip, because the one that comes with Suse 8.0 doesn't seem to work properly (everytime I rip a CD and insert the next cd, it doesn't update the duration of the tracks, but uses the ones from the first cd) I hope the later version doesn't have this error (or is it only my configuration and no one else has this problem?) Anyway, trying to compile the program it tells me this: phoenix@myriad:~/Downloads/entpackt/grip-3.0.1> ./configure loading cache ./config.cache checking for a BSD compatible install... /usr/bin/install -c checking whether build environment is sane... yes checking whether make sets ${MAKE}... yes checking for working aclocal... found checking for working autoconf... found checking for working automake... found checking for working autoheader... found checking for working makeinfo... missing checking whether to enable maintainer-specific portions of Makefiles... no checking for gnome-config... no checking for gnomeConf.sh file in /usr/local/lib... not found configure: error: Could not find the gnomeConf.sh file that is generated by gnome-libs install 1. Where do I get makeinfo from? 2. Why doesn't it find a gnome-config? I have the gnome desktop installed (even though I'm running KDE) and I believe the gnome libs, too. I tried compiling under gnome, which is not working either - so that can't be the problem. Some help would be great! Regards, Phoenix

Actually hand tailoring the permission files went real well, but access.conf isn't affected by chmod or anything... login delay... my favorite suse item... got that it was auto...no help from me...

RE: [SLE] NVIDIA experiences?
by Jonathan Cowherd 30 Sep '02

I've got the ut2003 running on a 1Ghz Athlon with 512Megs & Geforce2 MX400. It's not the fastest Nvidia out there, but it is decent enough for my gaming needs. I can't imaging what thing would be like on a 2+Ghz machine with Geforce4 4600 ti! Jonathan Paul Cowherd Linux and Java Administrator Genscape, Inc.

I am running this system with a tnt2 ultra, and have never had any problems with it, as well as never having had any real problems installing the driver. I also have a Radeon 7500 sitting here on my desk waiting to go in because I know it performs a little better in the Q3 department. At the moment though I am debating chuckin' them both to get an up to date nvidia board like a geForce 4 or something. Why you ask??...because the linux version of UT 2003 won't run on anything less than a geforce card and as of yet is not compatible with the current ati radeon 7500 driver set. So if you plan on getting the newest Unreal Tournament in 3 days, then you had better have a better card than a tnt2 to go with it.

In those files they have nullok all over the place, and null is not ok here but I hesitate to remove... any valid reason why to keep it in there? no usesr without passwords here, but do these files affect any system stuff like mail do you know, or just physical users with /home directories. yea yea I have been reading pam docs for 2 days... but I like to know if someone knows for sure because locking myself out isn't in the schedule...

Yast2 passwords md5
by Susan Buczak 30 Sep '02

30 Sep '02

I have repeatedly gone into the Yast2 configuration and reset the passwords for up to 20 characters and for MD5. It repeatedly still will not let me enter more than 8 characters in a new password, which is probably a good sign that MD5 is not working either. If I check the config files manually with an editor they don't appear to be changed either. And it's all done through Yast properly, according to its own directions, it even goes through the motions of running suseconfig... Any ideas?

It's not a problem and I already ran pwconv just for the heck of it... there's only one real user, it's a suse test machine. Until I am sure exactly what it's up to in every corner I am not bothering to put anything major in it... Well how do I convert to MD5 and stay there? Even the documentation for Suse 8, I think it's from a previous version, stuff just doesn't always add up.
