Re: [opensuse] What has happened to the libpng.so.2
I had the same problem with a program called Fieldview. In my case doing a symlink to the libpng.so.3 works fine. On Mon, 2005-10-31 at 09:05 +0100, Alexander S. Usov wrote: Hi! I have a binary, which requires libpng.so.2 to run. A quick check show that the last SuSE version it was included is 9.1 (compat-2004.4.2-3.i386.rpm). Will it work if I simply copy it somewhere into /usr/local/lib? - To unsubscribe, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED] For additional commands, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED]

I'm new to mailing lists in general :) This list is for development issues around OpenSUSE, suse-linux-e (known as SLE) is for end-user community support for SUSE products (both paid-for and downloaded). It wasn't clear for me that this list was dedicated to development. And looking at the large majority of the mails posted here I'm not the only one to be confused about that. Is it stated somewhere ?

Hi Jean-François, only if you use the same method to crypt the passwords. Look in your old /etc/shadow and compare the password field to the one in the new /etc/shadow. If your old passwords use another encryption, you must change the method on 10.0 via YaST. This only works if you use local(/etc/passwd) for authentification. Yes. I use local /etc/passwd for password encryption. So I guess it will work. Thank you for your input mdc !

If I remember well Suse starts to use UTF-8 encoding since version 9.1. So your problem may come from different encoding between the 2 versions. The program iconv allows you to change the encoding of file. Jean-François - To unsubscribe, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED] For additional commands, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED]

[opensuse] acerhk module and kernel upgrades
Hi, I use the acerhk module (http://www.informatik.hu-berlin.de/~tauber/acerhk/) which enables the use of special keys on my laptop. It needs to be compiled against the kernel sources and placed in /lib/modules/kernel-version/kernel/drivers/char/. Each time I upgrade the kernel, I need to recompile it and place it in that directory. I there a way to avoid this ? To compile it once and place it in an adequate place where it is not erased at each kernel update ? Thank in advance. Jean-François Simon

[opensuse] makeSUSEdvd : mkisofs cant find the boot catalog directory
Hi all, I'm trying to make a DVD from the five CD of the SUSE 10.0 with the makeSUSEdvd script (version 0.13). The script gives me the following error : mkisofs: Uh oh, I cant find the boot catalog directory 'boot/loader'! mkisofs fails to find the boot.cat file located in /boot/loader of the first CD. And it doesn't find it for a good reason : boot.cat is not there. So my question is : Is there a problem with my downloaded CD (by bittorrent) or is there a modification to bring to the makeSUSEdvd script ?
