Re: [newbie] Upgrading KDE
On Tuesday 11 November 2003 10:45 am, Derek Jennings wrote: It is a lesson I learned myself the hard way :-( Mixing packages from different releases is a seriously bad idea. Particularly with libraries on which a whole lot of other packages depend. In order to resolve the dependencies you end up having to install a gazillion packages. The advice I always give on this (newbie) list is :- 1/ Always use a urpmi source to get packages, where possible. 2/ If the package you need is not on a urpmi enabled source then download it and use urpmi or gurpmi to install it. urpmi/gurpmi will pull in any required dependencies. 3/ If the package you want is not available on any source for your release, but is available in Cooker, then rebuild the cooker .src.rpm That ensures it will be built using the libraries on your system. 4/ If the package is not in Cooker, then compile from .tar.gz source using 'checkinstall' to turn the compiled code into an RPM. Using checkinstall ensures that the RPM database is aware of all the installed libraries, and also makes it easier to uninstall an app. 5/ Avoid the temptation to install an rpm built for a different distro (especially not libraries) 6/ Do not use --force or --no-deps to make an package install. If a package will not install there is usually a good reason. Forcing packages can result in really strange instabilities. Since I started following these rules my system has been 100% rock solid. For most newbies Step 1 is all they will need. derek Well I do have some good news. I successfully installed KDE 3.1.4 ... Texstar Edition. I didn't expect that little addon or some of the new wierd icons, but it's still good. I found most of my remaining dependencies at Texstar's site and got it working. Thanks for the help.

Re: [newbie] Upgrading KDE
OK so it looks like your urpmi.addmedia commands worked. Only point is that the definition for your CD sources seems to be screwed up. Possibly because you changed your CD-ROM to be ide-scsi You can correct that using the Software Sources GUI in Mandrake control centre. 2nd point. If you want to install libqt3-devel the command to use is :- urpmi libqt3-devel 3rd point You do not actually need libqt3-devel unless you intend to compile QT/KDE applications 4th point You are getting those errors with libqt3-devel because it looks like you have already installed a later version of libqt than is available on any of the urpmi mirrors you have defined. The latest version of libqt3 on those mirrors is libqt3-devel-3.1.2-9.2tex.i586.rpm on Texstar, yet you apparently already have libqt3-devel-3.2.2-5mdk installed. Consequently urpmi is unable to resolve the dependency. Looking at the mirrors I see that libqt3-devel-3.2.2-5mdk is on Cooker and was only put there on 7th November So you have installed a package for Mandrake 10.0 on a 9.1 system. Result - -Dependency Hell- derek I know what you mean about dependency hell, perhaps I'll try that other QT3 rpm file. It's worth a shot. Want to buy your Pack or Services from MandrakeSoft?

Make sure the kernel-doc package is installed and take a look here: /usr/src/linux/Documentation/input/joystick.txt also: /usr/src/linux/Documentation/sound/soundcard/chipset This will give you the modules you need to install.

I'm not sure what old linux is, but I think it's carried over after a fresh install... it doesn't really have any value. Re-installing Lilo will immediatly remove that option. As for LinuxNonFB I can't be positive what it is, but I think it's a more secure form of Linux. I've never booted into it because I didn't have to. As for my Lilo it's got a lot of stuff Linux LinuxNonFB FailSafe Windows Windows_2 There's a couple more but I don't remember them... but I hope I helped.

[newbie] lex: command not found
I've been trying to install VisualBoyAdvance from source lately and I've been having a problem. Every time I try to configure I get this error checking lex output file root... ./configure: line 1402: lex: command not found configure: error: cannot find output from lex; giving up I think I need the lex command or lib or something like that anyway. Does anybody know where I could get this? Want to buy your Pack or Services from MandrakeSoft? Go to http://www.mandrakestore.com
[newbie] /dev/sequencer not found.
I have recently been trying to use KMid, but I have run into a problem. KMid uses a device called sequencer. I've looked in my /dev folder where it said it was, but it isn't there. The commands locate and which also can't find it. I have a Sound Blaster compatable sound card and I was wondering where, or how I can fix this problem and get sequencer installed and working. I am running an OSS Sound System, and am using an Ensoniq sound card. lsmod gives me this...

Re: [newbie] /dev/sequencer not found.
Yes, all my sound does work. Only KMid doesn't work and that's because it gives me the error /dev/sequencer could not be found. Want to buy your Pack or Services from MandrakeSoft? Go to http://www.mandrakestore.com
Re: [newbie] /dev/sequencer not found.
You are using the OSS sound driver when the link DarkLord pointed you to recommends the Alsa driver for Midi. Your card should work OK in 9.1 with the Alsa driver. If the Alsa driver is correctly installed it will install a midi module for you In my experience the easiest way to set up alsa is to install the alsa-utils RPM from your CD and then run 'alsaconf' in a root terminal. It will test your card and write a new /etc/modules.conf file which will load the correct modules for you. Be sure to back up your old modules.conf file because it will not copy the other configuration lines for your Ethernet or other devices. You must add those again by hand later. derek Only one problem with that stratagy. I want my MIDI files to work with OSS if that is possible. Want to buy your Pack or Services from MandrakeSoft?

Re: [newbie] Open GL graphics cards.
Hey I just did this a little bit back. You go to NVIDIA.com and choose the Drivers section. Look for your card and you should run into a driver called Linux IA32 Go download that file and put it anywhere you like. Then follow the instructions at this link ftp://download.nvidia.com/XFree86/Linux-x86/1.0-4496/README.txt to finish it off. Note that the file as XFree86Config that they refer to is really XFree86Config-4. Be sure not to get them mixed up. Want to buy your Pack or Services from MandrakeSoft?
