[SLE] Newbie

Hello, I've just this morning discovered this mailing list. I'm a total newbie to Linux, so I don't know if this is the appropriate list to write to, if not please tell me to toddle off. I've been looking at Linux for a few weeks, reading up on it and studying all the distros. I have Red Hat 8 on 2 CD's that came with the 'Linux for Dummies' book I bought, but I've also been heavily contemplating Lycoris, which seems to be very user friendly for total idiots like me. But today i received an email from Cnet with info on Suse's new version and I found myself following the link to their site and liking what i read. Can you honestly tell me if Suse is OK for a complete newbie? The installation is the part that scares me the most, I've tried hard to check all my stuff against hardware compatibility lists, Suse page for this seems to bugger up a lot, while trying to check burners it would suddenly start showing printers or sound cards. Some opinions or help as to ease of install would be very much appreciated. At the moment I am using Windows 98SE, I have a 5 year old IMB Aptiva with a second hard drive added, the original is 4 gigs and the second one is 3 gigs. The memory is upgraded to 160. I'm thinking to do a duel boot for a while, if I have enough room for both. (Drive One = 1.38 used/2.61 free/ Drive Two = .821 used/ 2.14 free.) (Drive Two can fluctuant a lot depending on digital camera images and music being and not yet transferred to disc.) Thanks for any tips or support offered:O) Maureen.

Glib upgrade
by Ricardo Wagemaker 26 Sep '03

26 Sep '03

Hi everyone, I am not sure if this is the correct mailling list but here we go. I am trying to upgrade GIMP on Suse 8.1 Pro, but this is what happens. ...... ...... checking for pkg-config... /usr/local/bin/pkg-config checking for GLIB - version >= 2.2.0... *** 'pkg-config --modversion glib-2.0' returned 2.2.1, but GLIB (2.0.6) *** was found! If pkg-config was correct, then it is best *** to remove the old version of GLib. You may also be able to fix the error *** by modifying your LD_LIBRARY_PATH enviroment variable, or by editing *** /etc/ld.so.conf. Make sure you have run ldconfig if that is *** required on your system. *** If pkg-config was wrong, set the environment variable PKG_CONFIG_PATH *** to point to the correct configuration files no configure: error: Test for GLIB failed. See the file 'INSTALL' for help. Anyone in here got any idea where glib leaves or where and how I can remove the old version of it? I have tried: r1co:/dsk/2/Linux/glib2 # rpm -qa | grep glib glib-1.2.10-305 glibc-profile-2.2.5-177 glibc-info-2.2.5-177 glib2-2.0.6-45 quake2-3.20-glibc-6 glibc-html-2.2.5-179 glibc-locale-2.2.5-177 glib2-devel-2.0.6-29 glibc-2.2.5-177 glibc-devel-2.2.5-177 r1co:/dsk/2/Linux/glib2 # ls -al total 2072 drwxr-xr-x 2 root root 4096 Sep 21 12:23 . drwxr-xr-x 107 root root 4096 Sep 21 12:10 .. -rw------- 1 root root 284733 Sep 21 12:23 glib2-2.0.6-45.i586.rpm -rw------- 1 root root 385049 Sep 21 12:11 glib2-2.2.1-18.i586.rpm -rw------- 1 root root 1421929 Sep 21 12:12 glibc-2.3.2-6.i586.rpm r1co:/dsk/2/Linux/glib2 # rpm -Uvh glib2-2.2.1-18.i586.rpm error: failed dependencies: libc.so.6(GLIBC_2.3) is needed by glib2-2.2.1-18 libpthread.so.0(GLIBC_2.3.2) is needed by glib2-2.2.1-18 r1co:/dsk/2/Linux/glib2 # rpm -Uvh glibc-2.3glibc-2.3.2-6.i586.rpm cannot read header at 0 for dependency check r1co:/dsk/2/Linux/glib2 # When I forced to Update to r1co:/dsk/2/Linux/glib2 # rpm --force --nodeps -Uvh glibc-2.3glibc-2.3.2- 6.i586.rpm r1co:/dsk/2/Linux/glib2 # rpm --force --nodeps -Uvh glib2-2.2.1-18.i586.rpm everything stopped working, I had to back track and returned to the previews versions.

htdig image problem
by Lawrence Mulligan 25 Sep '03

25 Sep '03

I was wondering if anyone else has or had this problem: I just setup htdig on my machine at work and for some reason htdig is looking for some of it's images in /srv/www/cgi-bin/images rather then in /srv/www/htdig/images. Now some are OK. In particular the star images that htdig uses on search hits. The ones that it's not finding are the page images that it puts at the bottom of the page, i.e. page1, page2, page3, etc. Yet all the images are located in the same directory. I know there's are variable called image_url_prefix which I tried setting to no avail. Anyone have a clue? I'm stumped mostly because it's finding some images but not others that are located in the same directory. Thanks. Larry

KDE 3.1.4 and YOU security upgrades
by Charles Kunce 25 Sep '03

25 Sep '03

Hi All. Stupid question time. I'm using SuSE 8.2 PRO KDE (stayed at original version, 3.1.3 seemed too buggy from mail on this list) and Yast online update. Now I thought Yast Online update was supposed to let me know about security upgrades. KDE 3.1.4's upgrade _is_ a security upgrade according to the traffic on this list. YOU on my machine is not saying boo about KDE 3.1.4. I have gotten a boatload of other security upgrades. Makes me wonder what else I might have missed waiting for the red ball in my tray. Anyone care to enlighten me as to why no red ball ? Thanks Charlie

SuSE 8.2 and PDC 640 serial camera
by John 25 Sep '03

25 Sep '03

-----BEGIN PGP SIGNED MESSAGE----- Hash: SHA1 Hi list, I posted this to the NG, but my news server is down, and I couldn't find it on google or any other news servers. I've got a Polaroid PDC 640 digital camera. It's connected by serial cable to the PC. Using digikam and gtkam, I can't get it to communicate with the camera for some reason. It has a 2MB memory card, but since it's not a USB connection, I don't know what to do. I desperately need the pictures on this camera. They contain photos of the area where my friend and I were assaulted a few days ago, and I took the pictures literally 15 minutes before it started to rain, and now all the blood is washed away. Please, if anyone has any ideas, I'd sure be thankfull. I feel at the end of a rope here. I'm disabled (have been for 3 and a half years), and the officer who responded to my 911 call is pulling a 'good ol' boy' cover up (the wife of the man who attacked us, is the daughter of the local preacher man...I unfortunately live in the bible belt, and am jewish...making this an uphill climb from the get go). Thanks for any help or ideas, I really do appreciate it. Take care and be good.

RE: [SLE] Compiling LKCD on SLES7

I meant to ask before I sent this if qt header are included somewhere I don't see? I've tried adding some of the recommended config flags in SPECS/lkcdutils-qlcrash.spec to specify the directory, libraries, and headers, but it doesn't seem to take.

It should be somthing like this "string" at the top right corner: http://mywebpage.netscape.com/Adagilson/2003_09_23_063619_shot.jpg And the data DD/MM/YYYY should be updated every day.
