Latest APT error message - conflicts
by Deep Thinker 02 Oct '04

02 Oct '04

OK, now that I have installed each of the ULB packages individually (because that seemed to be the only thing that worked), I am not getting any unsigned package errors. But I am getting conflicting package errors. Below is the output from my session this morning. Please tell me what I need to do to get apt working correctly on my system. It seems like the only thing using apt has done is made my system unstable. d33p th1nk3r -----Begin Session----- thinker@shaolin:~> su Password: shaolin:/home/thinker # apt-get update Get:1 ftp://ftp.gwdg.de SuSE/9.1-i386 release [10.5kB] Fetched 10.5kB in 2s (3656B/s) Hit ftp://ftp.gwdg.de SuSE/9.1-i386/base pkglist Get:1 ftp://ftp.gwdg.de SuSE/9.1-i386/base release [130B] Hit ftp://ftp.gwdg.de SuSE/9.1-i386/update pkglist Get:2 ftp://ftp.gwdg.de SuSE/9.1-i386/update release [132B] Hit ftp://ftp.gwdg.de SuSE/9.1-i386/security pkglist Get:3 ftp://ftp.gwdg.de SuSE/9.1-i386/security release [134B] Hit ftp://ftp.gwdg.de SuSE/9.1-i386/usr-local-bin pkglist Get:4 ftp://ftp.gwdg.de SuSE/9.1-i386/usr-local-bin release [139B] Hit ftp://ftp.gwdg.de SuSE/9.1-i386/kde pkglist Get:5 ftp://ftp.gwdg.de SuSE/9.1-i386/kde release [129B] Hit ftp://ftp.gwdg.de SuSE/9.1-i386/mozilla pkglist Get:6 ftp://ftp.gwdg.de SuSE/9.1-i386/mozilla release [133B] Hit ftp://ftp.gwdg.de SuSE/9.1-i386/samba3 pkglist Get:7 ftp://ftp.gwdg.de SuSE/9.1-i386/samba3 release [132B] Hit ftp://ftp.gwdg.de SuSE/9.1-i386/funktronics pkglist Get:8 ftp://ftp.gwdg.de SuSE/9.1-i386/funktronics release [137B] Hit ftp://ftp.gwdg.de SuSE/9.1-i386/packman pkglist Get:9 ftp://ftp.gwdg.de SuSE/9.1-i386/packman release [133B] Hit ftp://ftp.gwdg.de SuSE/9.1-i386/wine pkglist Get:10 ftp://ftp.gwdg.de SuSE/9.1-i386/wine release [130B] Hit ftp://ftp.gwdg.de SuSE/9.1-i386/rpmkeys pkglist Get:11 ftp://ftp.gwdg.de SuSE/9.1-i386/rpmkeys release [133B] Hit ftp://ftp.gwdg.de SuSE/9.1-i386/suser-rbos pkglist Get:12 ftp://ftp.gwdg.de SuSE/9.1-i386/suser-rbos release [136B] Fetched 1598B in 16s (99B/s) Reading Package Lists...

Re: [SLE] Has The performance been forgotten?

Regarding the origial posting where xp boots in 22 seconds and suse slower, I became curious. My machine is a laptop with a mobile pentium 1.4 Ghz, 256 MB ram, don't think the other specs are that relevant. I have SuSe 9.1 and WinXP dual boot with Grub. From the boot menu (with a stopwatch) here are my results: Win XP boot - 2 min 11 seconds (when I can first start to run a program). Has lots of programs loaded but nothing on the quick launch bar. Suse 9.1 - 2 min 4 seconds (when I can first click on an icon to start). Most software installed except development stuff. Neither OS is fully optimized, and Suse I just installed last week, so I still have to tune it. Not slower than XP! Gus.

What is Suse 9.1.42 ?
by Cosmo King 02 Oct '04

02 Oct '04

The Suse 9.1 update tree now includes 9.1.42, which among other things contains the kernel-2.6.8 package. When and why was the split to 9.1.42 and should we apply these 'updates' to suse pro 9.1 machines? Will 'you' automatically pull these updates? This is of interest, because we want kernel-2.6.8 which is the first to incorporate the 3w-9xxx driver. I hope that SLES9 gets a 2.6.8 kernel soon as well :) Thanks, Cosmo -- Cosmo King Systems Engineer Pogo Linux, Inc. 888.828.7646 cosmo(a)pogolinux.com

How many experience is required between the keyboard and chair? Should any linux user be a "Linus Torvalds"? Oh, may be the OS becomes slow when sees us, but works very fast when sees others!

Thanks a lot for your friendly and detailed answer; But unfortunately, I have not the opportunity for compiling KDE by myself, because I am alone and have expensive internet costs with narrowband dialup (modem) connection in my country. For once, I tried compiling Gnome 2.6 on my computer and was disappointing... I prefer to complete that Gnome project rather than starting deal with KDE... Can you help me? Bahram Alinezhad, Tehran, Iran. -------------------------------- "Jason Hihn" wrote: -------------------------------- The horrible KDE numbers are from the KDE design philosophy, and ld. KDE is a C++ desktop, GNOME and Windows are C based. As such, KDE bas a lot of virtual-table linking that has to go on before a program starts. You can use the pre-linking option which will pre-link what it can before hand. This produces wonderful results, though it is still slower than C-based (because the linking is still much less.) KDE is a nirvana of design. It has a high class-reuse, and because of that, there is a lot of linking. Unfortunately the linker that links these things at program start was not designed to handle all the linking. KDE developers have therefore chosen an approach that sucks for slower machines, but it produces a easy-to-program feature. For instance, the text-box automatic spell checking was easily added because all text boxes come from the same class. Other programs have an easy time extending the classes that are provided to suit their needs. Programming in KDE is a joy. Running it is not. But with processor speeds doubling every 18 months, the KDE project will suck for users, but will ultimately be the more maintainable design. Look at the features of each Release from GNOME and KDE. KDE achieves more. And you numers do seem low. Maybe Suse diabled pre-linking in their build? I'd suggest compiling KDE yourself using Konstruct over the weekend. It will take you probably 2 days to compile all of it. Once started though, you can let it go. When you are done, follow the instructions and you can check out the Konstruct compile of KDE without effecting your system, only your user account, and only while you have the enironment variables set. I would be iterested to know if that clears up your problem. __________________________________ Do you Yahoo!? New and Improved Yahoo! Mail - Send 10MB messages! http://promotions.yahoo.com/new_mail
