sax.sh -a? What kind of a joke is this supposed to be? Either we are interested in broadening the market or in pushing THE platform for developers. Developers, however, do not need any sax.sh they just need lspci, vi and some xorg.conf to start from. Somebody deserving the description user versus administrator or programmer should not even be allowed to know, that sax exists. Let's get serious about openSUSE, please. I think an openSUSE user know about SaX2 for sure, because they almost surely used it to configure accelerated video drivers from nVidia and ATI. To configure the nvidia driver, if not using the RPM's or if something goes wrong with them, the user is supposed to write something like: SaX2 -r -m 0=nvidia So, there is no surprise in requiring to the user to know SaX.

Or dodgy driver installer from ATI etc. Obviously the best situation is when nothing goes wrong, this is about contingency for when it does.

[opensuse] install opensuse 10.2

I compile a small matlab example under 32b (either by booting 32b linux or -m32 compiler flag) and run under 32 and 64 bit linux. The code compiles under both environments. However, the code runs normally under 32b linux, but the 64b linux runtime causes an error condition and the sample code exits. As a workaround, you can install and run the 32-bit version of Matlab under 64-bit openSUSE. On our servers, we put the 32-bit version into /lw/matlab/7.4 and the 64-bit one into /lw64/matlab/7.4. The command that simulates the 32-bit environment under 64-bit linux is linux32: $ /lw64/matlab/7.4/bin/matlab# start 64-bit matlab $ linux32 /lw/matlab/7.4/bin/matlab # start 32-bit matlab To install the 32-bit version of Matlab, run linux32 install. If I remember it right, several Matlab toolboxes were available for the 32-bit version only some time ago. In other words, they were 32-bit and didn't run under the 64-bit Matlab---just as your code.

Sounds easy doesn't it. I tried cp -a * members but that of course includes members. I suppose I want to say 'copy everything in the nonmembers folder that was there before I made the members folder to the members folder'. If I had a gui I would simply drag and drop. The quickie way would be to do export GLOBIGNORE=members and then do cp -a * members again Another quickie would be to name it .members while you're copying, since * doesn't include files that start with a dot Beyond that we're into regular expressions, and then it starts getting messy :) Anders Thanks everyone. It was the dot that did it. Have one on me. Love from Lynn. -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED] For additional commands, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED]

[opensuse-packaging] Handling license symlinks
Hello, creating the symlink to licenses in the licenses package is curently done by including a small script in each spec file, like: for FILE in COPYING copyright.txt ; do MD5SUM=$(md5sum $FILE | sed 's/ .*//') if test -f /usr/share/doc/licenses/md5/$MD5SUM ; then ln -sf /usr/share/doc/licenses/md5/$MD5SUM $FILE fi done This is error-prone (see bug 306681) and adds lots of duplicated code to the spec files. Please add a small script to the licenses package or create a rpm macro that creates the symlink. If the rpm macro could also drop in a Requires: licenses, it would be even better. The specfile should then contain commands like (replacing the example above): %symlink_license COPYING %symlink_license copyright.txt Oh, and please do this ASAP, before more package(r)s include the script in the spec file ;-) Regards, Christian Boltz -- 31.8.-3.9.2007: Weinfest und Jubiläum 1225 Jahre Insheim Pig Slip, Hifi-Delity, Human Fact, Frank Petersen und die Söhne Insheims spielen bei der Landjugend.
