RE: [SLE] Compiling LKCD on SLES7
by Jonathan Cowherd 26 Sep '03

Thanks Andreas, I downloaded the qt-x11-2.3.0.tar.gz from www.trolltech.com (it's hidden on their ftp site, so you must assume that there is a source directory under the root /qt directory: ftp.trolltech.com/qt/source/qt-x11-2.3.0.tar.gz) It looks as if qt-devel isn't distributed with SLES7. It made the rpm just fine and now I'm able to start using those tools. Thanks for responding. Jonathan Paul Cowherd Linux and Java Administrator Genscape, Inc.

Raid help
by Chris Roubekas 26 Sep '03

26 Sep '03

Hi there folks! I am about to create a filesharing server which will have the following characteristics PIII-350 128 MB ram HD1 : 10 GB HD2 : 30 GB HD3: 30 GB The whole idea is to have SuSE Linux 7.2 on HD1 and make HD1 & HD2 Raid1 with Software-Raid to have complete rebundancy. I have never done this before. I would really appreciate any good manual, site, notes, www pages that you could recommend. I am feeling very nervous about this since I have never done anything similar in my life. Thank you all for your help!!!!!!! Chris

enable Laptop power management

I'm new at this and would like the battery monitoring abilities available in 8.2 to work. I found the part in the Kernel to turn on, but am unsure as to the procedure to 'make' after turning it on Could someone post the procedures and syntax I need to preform to do this correctly. Or... is it not worth the effort? Thanks in advance

Sorry Maureen for being so brief, I cannot really help you with Nero. However the md5 sum is a mathematical operation performed over each byte (bit) of a file. The result is so called md5 sum. It guarantees (more or less) the file consistency. So what it means for you? If you get a SW for windows which can calculate the md5 sum and you run it over your ISO image file you should get a number. In your case the number will probably be: MD5 (SuSE-8.2-LiveEval-i386-Int-RC2.iso) = 7f6a7e347067a5478f87e8948ed40177. If the number is exactly the same as the MD5SUM on the Suse's web site, then you can be pretty sure, that you have correct and uncorrupted file. When you are sure, that the file is OK, then you can start to look at how you burned it onto a CD. Using md5, you will save yourself a lots of time downloading the file again in order to be sure that it is correct. I believe, that you can download md5 utility for at: http://www.fourmilab.ch/md5/ The SuSE's md5 file is in: ftp://ftp.suse.com/pub/suse/i386/live-eval-8.2/MD5SUMS Regards, Tomas Maureen Crothall wrote: > >Maureen, > > > >If you want to be sure, that what you downloaded yesterday, you should check if md5 sum available (for the ISO image) on the web site is same as md5 generated on your downloaded ISO. > > Hi, > > I checked that as you said and I even tried again this morning.

Older commercial Linux games unplayable?
by Kevin Donnelly 26 Sep '03

26 Sep '03

Yesterday I came across the first Linux game I ever bought (Loki's CivCTP), and since I hadn't had a look at it for some time, I decided to install it on 8.2. Hmmm. The install foes fine, but once you start loading the game it crashes, with the following error message: BUG! (Segmentation Fault) Going down hard... CivCTP Linux 1.1 Thu Jun 10 19:51:54 PDT 1999 Built with flags: -O2 -funroll-loops -fno-exceptions -fno-rtti -g -D_REENTRANT -DPACK=__attribute__ ((packed)) -DCIV3_SPECIES=75 -D_BFR_ -malign-double -D_SDL_STATIC_LIB -DSTATICALLY_LINKED Built with glibc-2.1 Presumably this is due to the fact that glibc has moved on to 3.3. But it raises the question now, is there ANY way to play this and other older games (eg Terminus) other than keeping a partition on the disc with an older version of SuSE on it? Presumably, without the source, you can't recompile, and I don't fancy approaching Activision et al to ask them to do it. Is there a "retro" switch on 3.3 to tell it to pretend it's 2.1? Probably not. If this is the case, it means that all Linux commercial games have built-in obsolescence, which is pretty serious ...... -- Best wishes Kevin Donnelly www.kyfieithu.co.uk - Meddalwedd Rydd yn Gymraeg
