Re: [Xastir] Easy fix for missing slider text in SUSE 10.2 and 10.3
I just put in the FC2 version on my F7 machine and backed out lesstif-devel. I ended up having to create a symlink for the shared libraries and all is running fine. Even the slider bars appear to be fine. 73 from 807, Richard, N6NKO Lee Bengston wrote: Thanks, I guess I won't be in a hurry to upgrade to 10.3.

Unfortunately just installing the rpm's won't work in 10.3 since other stuff now depends on it so you have to use Yast so the dependencies are cleaned up. Oh and the first thing I do on any SUSE system is uninstall Zen since it is a memory hog and cpu cycle stealer so I have to use Yast.

Re: [Xastir] Easy fix for missing slider text in SUSE 10.2 and 10.3
or another way to downgrade OpenMotif... you can use Yast (search for 'motif' to find the installed libraries) to uninstall the existing 2.3 version of openMotif, and then use the procedure below from the HowTo:OpenSUSE 10.2 in the Wiki to install the older version. Use Firefox to browse to the site below. ftp://ftp.ics.com/openmotif/2.2/2.2.4/suse-9.1/ The two required files are as follows: openmotif-libs-2.2.4-0.1.i586.rpm openmotif-libs-devel-2.2.4-0.1.i586.rpm Select the first of the two OpenMotif files above while in FireFox, and the browser will give you the option of either saving to disk or installing with Zen Installer. Choose to install with Zen, and the file will be downloaded and installed automatically. The files need to be installed in the order they appear above. Auto-updates does tell me a new version is available, but I just ignore it. ___ Xastir mailing list Xastir@xastir.org http://lists.xastir.org/cgi-bin/mailman/listinfo/xastir
[Xastir] Easy fix for missing slider text in SUSE 10.2 and 10.3
Hello one and all, After upgrading to SUSE 10.3 (further pitfalls and gotcha's to follow later), I see that it still has the slider text bug in OpenMotif. However, there is an easy fix and I also verified that it works in 10.2 also. (I haven't put this in the Wiki yet, I only just got registered and I'm trying to make sense of the pages there already to make sure I put this info where people can find it). 1) Using the Installation Sources part of Yast, add these two locations using the Specify URL method: http://download.opensuse.org/distribution/SL-10.1/inst-source/ http://download.opensuse.org/distribution/SL-10.1/non-oss-inst-source/ 2) Once Yast is through digesting those, fire up the Software Management module of Yast and search for 'motif' (without the quotes) 3) Make sure that Auto-check is turned off (a checkbox at the bottom of the screen). 4) For each item that was found that has a checkmark next to it indicating that it's installed, do these steps:' 4a) Click on the item 4b) In the box below the list, click on the version tab 4c) Click in the little circle next to the lowest version available 5) Once you've done that for all the checked programs, they should have the little ying-yang symbol on them indicating a reinstall is required 6) Click on the Check button. This may indicate that some other software needs to be downgraded. This is OK 7) Click on OK or Finish for the change to take effect 8) Open a terminal window, do a full ./bootstrap;./configure;make clean;make in your source directory 9) Using the su or sudo of your choice, do a make install 10) Launch Xastir and you should be good to go The other good news is that I've seen very few updates to OpenMotif released once the CD is made but double check that you aren't upgrading it every time you launch Auto-Updates.
