If I remember correctly, you have to install the kdelibs0g-dev package
too.  I had the same problem.  I read somewhere that whoever did the
packaging, didn't do this part quite right.  I installed this package
and the strange toolbar icons were fixed.

I use C++: How to program by H.M. Deitel and P.J. Deitel

I have the first edition, but I understand that a second has been
released with very few changes.  This book is worth checking out.  It
has great examples, source code for the examples is online, and it's
easy to read.


I have not read either book you mention, so they may be as good or
better.

I had this same problem.  I bet you're running the S3 or S3V X server. 
There is some incompatiblity with these servers.  This is what I did:


ran X with the SVGA server

$ startx /usr/X11R6/bin/XF86_SVGA  


then installed StarOffice without lockups.

Downloaded the patch on their web site for S3 problems.  Installed the
patch.
Changed the environment setting mentioned in the README that came with
the patch.

Started X as normal, ran soffice without problems.

A mirror of the USB project is at

http://www.nv.org/linux/USB/snapshots.html


I tried to help a friend compile a new kernel so that his USB mouse
would work.
We got it to compile without errors.  The mouse still doesn't work.  The
guy working on USB does not write very good english.  This is not a
criticism, but rather an explaination, of why the instructions were hard
to follow.  Also, I believe he assumes the person reading the
instructions has a good understanding of the linux kernel (which I don't
claim to have). 

If you have any luck getting this to work, please send some help my
way.  My friend is currently using a serial mouse while his nice shiny
new USB mouse collects dust.

network question

1999-01-13 Thread Wesley Simon


This isn't really a Debian specific question.


I'm running Debian 2.0 on a machine with 1 10baseT network card.

I use this as a Quake server on my LAN.  I would like to add a
10/100baseT card to it so that there are 2 network cards.  I would
then like to be able to run one 100baseT hub and one 10baseT hub.  I 
have read that Linux will only detect one card on bootup.  Is this 
still true for kernel 2.0.34?  


Would this work?

Set card A with an IP of 192.168.1.1
Set card B with an IP of 192.168.2.1

For all machines on 192.168.1.X, set the gateway to 192.168.1.1.
For all machines on 192.168.2.X, set the gateway to 192.168.2.1.



So, the Linux machine would function as a gateway and a Quake 
server simultaneously.

Does anyone see any reason why this wouldn't work?

Try using IMPS/2 as the protocol.  These mice are supposed to be setup
the same as an Intellimouse.


partition question

1999-01-07 Thread Wesley Simon


I have a linux partition that is running out of space.  I have another
partition on the drive that used to be NT, I toasted that partition and
created another linux partition.  I would like to put everthing under
/usr on the other partition.  I mounted it as /bkup.  I tried to go
under /usr and do a cp -rf * /bkup as root.  I was then going to change
the name of /usr to /usr.bak and change /bkup to /usr to test it.  I ran
into some errors.  One in particular mentioned a circular symbolic
link.  I stopped at this point, because I don't want to make a huge
mistake.


So, does anyone know the correct method for doing this?

Thanks,

Wes
