login screen doesnot have KDE anymore
by Baris Erbas 31 Jan '03

31 Jan '03

Hi, I installed KDE3.1 and eerything went well. I even restarted my computer without any problems whatsoever. However, when I turned on the computer this morning the only X enviroment I see is the default(which is not KDE probably only an xterm) and I see all the users on the left hand side(such as root, nobody, and all the deamons). When I type "startkde" on the xterm window KDE starts. What could have I done to get this problem? The only possibility I can think of is that I deleted all the /tmp files .mcop files just to get KDE work without any problems.. hope somebody can give me some advice... thx all!

[OT] Povray with SimPov ?
by The Purple Tiger 31 Jan '03

31 Jan '03

Hi all, A bit offtopic as it is to do with 3rd party programs, although it is being done on an 8.1 machine ;o) I have downloaded POVRAY source [3.5c iirc] and downloaded the latest simpov patch [010] for it, extracted the povray source, extracted the simpov package in the povray directory, went to compile it, and it fails. The following is the output - any ideas? express.o: In function `Parse_Num_Factor(double*, int*)': express.o(.text+0x3f38): undefined reference to `MechsimOptions' express.o(.text+0x3fea): undefined reference to `MechsimOptions' express.o(.text+0x4089): undefined reference to `MechsimOptions' express.o(.text+0x40bc): undefined reference to `MechsimOptions' express.o(.text+0x40e2): undefined reference to `MechsimOptions' express.o(.text+0x40ec): more undefined references to `MechsimOptions' follow parse.o: In function `Parse_Mech_Sim()': parse.o(.text+0x19be): undefined reference to `Mechsim_read_file(pov_istream_class*, int)' parse.o(.text+0x19d9): undefined reference to `MechsimOptions' parse.o(.text+0x19e5): undefined reference to `MechsimOptions' parse.o(.text+0x1b80): undefined reference to `MechsimOptions' parse.o(.text+0x1b99): undefined reference to `Mechsim_read_file(pov_istream_class*, int)' parse.o(.text+0x1bb4): undefined reference to `MechsimOptions' parse.o(.text+0x1bc0): undefined reference to `MechsimOptions' parse.o(.text+0x1bdb): undefined reference to `MechsimOptions' parse.o(.text+0x1be1): undefined reference to `MechsimOptions' parse.o(.text+0x1c2d): undefined reference to `MechsimOptions' parse.o(.text+0x1c47): more undefined references to `MechsimOptions' follow parse.o: In function `Parse_Mech_Sim()': parse.o(.text+0x18e1): undefined reference to `Mechsim_Simulate()' povray.o: In function `FrameRender()': povray.o(.text+0x1fe5): undefined reference to `Initialize_MechSim()' povray.o(.text+0x2435): undefined reference to `Deinitialize_MechSim()' collect2: ld returned 1 exit status make[1]: *** [povray] Error 1 make[1]: Leaving directory `/home/jjeffels/Documents/povraystuff/povray-3.50c/src' make: *** [all-recursive] Error 1 jjeffels@sakura:~/Documents/povraystuff/povray-3.50c>

by Marino Fernandez 31 Jan '03

31 Jan '03

I am trying to find out how to take a DVD to an AVI encoded CD (divx or xvid) in linux... for research purposes of course!!! Are there any educational web sites out there (preferentially sites that point to the software needed)... thanks... PS To the puritans... hey, I mostly have MY OWN DVD that I am trying to backup... and I don't have a DVD burner.. otherwise I'd be just backing up DVD to DVD.... And oh! yeah! cds and DVD crack sometimes... and I don't want to pay again __________________________________________________ Do you Yahoo!? Yahoo! Mail Plus - Powerful. Affordable.

Newby friendly linux database
by Marino Fernandez 31 Jan '03

31 Jan '03

I have limited experience with databases.... just some (gulp!) MS access.... I understand that my choices (relying on the provided apps on the SuSE distro) are MySQL and PostgreSQL. 1) Which one is more user friendly (i.e. uses more graphical "MS access" front ends) 2) Just to be sure. Are they susceptible to the slapper worm (I understand it affects SQL servers, but I read (extreme tech?), that some code in some MS apps (including access) is also susceptible. __________________________________________________ Do you Yahoo!?

There were problems with nfs and reiser. We reformatted ext3 on the server and all was cured. But I'd leave it open for a while since the heavy network guys on the list may have gone away for the weekend and may be able to suggest a less drastic measure. Good luck, Steve.
