[blfs-support] k3b with/without udisks
Hello all, when building k3b without having udisks installed, k3b does not find my DVD drive. Is there a solution which does not include using udisks? If not, the udisks dependency is not stated in the k3b page. Thanks for hints, thorsten -- http://linuxfromscratch.org/mailman/listinfo/blfs-support FAQ: http://www.linuxfromscratch.org/blfs/faq.html Unsubscribe: See the above information page

K3b has a dependency on kdelibs which recommends udisks. We assume that recommended dependencies are installed - they are not recommended without a reason. well, actually the book has a (not correct IMO) dependency on kde-runtime. kdelibs is required, not kde-runtime. But be that as it may, I dont like udisks. Is there a way to use k3b without it? If k3b is not usable without udisks, then this dependency is required. -- http://linuxfromscratch.org/mailman/listinfo/blfs-support FAQ: http://www.linuxfromscratch.org/blfs/faq.html Unsubscribe: See the above information page

We can't always cover all deps for every package and we rely on reports like these. I think that k3b even requires cdrtools and cdrdao for cd burning as Bruce once pointed out. Wether you like udisks or not, if k3b needs it then you need udisks. Either use it or don't use k3b at all. -- http://linuxfromscratch.org/mailman/listinfo/blfs-support FAQ: http://www.linuxfromscratch.org/blfs/faq.html Unsubscribe: See the above information page

Either use it or don't use k3b at all. Coming back to the intention of my original post. 1. Does anybody know a way to work with k3b without udisks? I don't, but perhaps someone here knows a way. If so, I appreciate a hint. 2. If not I do suggest to add udisks as a required dependency to k3b, since it does not work without it. -- http://linuxfromscratch.org/mailman/listinfo/blfs-support FAQ: http://www.linuxfromscratch.org/blfs/faq.html Unsubscribe: See the above information page

Looking at my log from Dec 10, I don't see any reference to udisks. That said, I have udisks installed back from July 3, so I haven't tried without it. What would be more of an issue to me is whether /dev/dvd exists. I believe it is usually a symlink to /dev/sr0 but it might be something different. -- Bruce -- http://linuxfromscratch.org/mailman/listinfo/blfs-support FAQ: http://www.linuxfromscratch.org/blfs/faq.html Unsubscribe: See the above information page

That is how the dependencies in BLFS always work - something already required or recommended for a listed dependency is not show. ĸen -- das eine Mal als Tragödie, das andere Mal als Farce -- http://linuxfromscratch.org/mailman/listinfo/blfs-support FAQ: http://www.linuxfromscratch.org/blfs/faq.html Unsubscribe: See the above information page

And we already recommend it for an ancestral dependency. ĸen -- das eine Mal als Tragödie, das andere Mal als Farce -- http://linuxfromscratch.org/mailman/listinfo/blfs-support FAQ: http://www.linuxfromscratch.org/blfs/faq.html Unsubscribe: See the above information page

Is this project still alive? Not really, it has been six years since a release. It would still work I'm sure, but the only purpose it had was to use a single-layer DVD to copy the contents of a double-layer DVD source. However, it has been many years since I've done this and I cannot help but think that blank writeable double-layer DVD's cost about the same as single-layer? I'm not sure.

[blfs-support] Postgresql, install libraries only...
I want to access a remote postgresql database via an apache php enabled web server. I need the postgresql libs and the appropriate php support, but not the whole entire postgresql database locally. Any tips on how to install just the libraries for postgresql??? -- http://linuxfromscratch.org/mailman/listinfo/blfs-support FAQ: http://www.linuxfromscratch.org/blfs/faq.html Unsubscribe: See the above information page
