Re: Error (No More!) during make bzImage, kernel 2.4.9 (WooHoo!)
On Sun, 26 Aug 2001 13:05, Tim Wunder orated thus: No Tim, Wrong, when you call 'make bzdisk' it then makes a floppy rescue disk for that Kernerl you have just compiled. The reports at the moment seem to be more machine specific rather than kernel specific, just wait and see, what transpires. Oh, oh, oh... I get it... You want me to make a rescue disk with the new kernel. See, I told you I was dim...Maybe if I feel like it tomorrow. I've got a rescue disk with the old kernel if things go bad, and I downloaded Lonni's emergency recovery ISO. I should be OK if things go too wacky. No Time, not dim just like me , terminology overload. -- - To make yourself look truthful one has to lie, as most people do not want to kmow the truth; but only that which they believe. - Keith Antoine aka skippy 18 Arkana St The Gap Queensland 4061 Australia PH 16 7 33002161 Retired Geriatric and Sometime Electronics Engineer ___ http://linux.nf -- [EMAIL PROTECTED] Archives, Subscribe, Unsubscribe, Digest, Etc -http://linux.nf/mailman/listinfo/linux-users

antialiasing and kde 2.2
I forgot to say that after the install of Xfree86 4.0.1 that on reboot even thought I lost the bottom task bar that I was able at last to enable antialiasing of the fonts without them overwriting each other. So this leads to a question, that there are a very limitted number available. So can one install more or access more from somewhere, seem to remember talk of this sometime in the past 6 months or so. -- - To make yourself look truthful one has to lie, as most people do not want to kmow the truth; but only that which they believe. - Keith Antoine aka skippy 18 Arkana St The Gap Queensland 4061 Australia PH 16 7 33002161 Retired Geriatric and Sometime Electronics Engineer ___ http://linux.nf -- [EMAIL PROTECTED] Archives, Subscribe, Unsubscribe, Digest, Etc -http://linux.nf/mailman/listinfo/linux-users

Re: Error building kdemultimedia from SRPM
More info. I tried to compile kdemultimedia from source and I get an error: midimanagerview.cpp: In method `MidiManagerView::MidiManagerView()': midimanagerview.cpp:114: `class MidiManagerWidget' has no member named `connectionFrameLayout' make[3]: *** [midimanagerview.o] Error 1 make[2]: *** [all-recursive] Error 1 make[1]: *** [all-recursive] Error 1 make: *** [all-recursive-am] Error 2 All I did was untar the source ./configure --prefix=/opt/kde2 make Looks like the same error that I get with the SRPM. Could this be a bug in kde2.2? Obviously SOMEBODY has gotten this to work, there's a slew of RPMs made. AFAIK, you certainly have to be able to compile the source in order to make a binary RPM. What's the worst that can happen if I try to install the eW3.1 RPM? My eD2.4 has been updated to kernel 2.4.9 and X4.1.0. I suspect it'd work.

Hard Drive Mania
Well here's a fine kettle of fish, Ollie. I have installed Suse 7.2 Pro over the weekend and have had to reshuffle harddrives a couple of times to accomodate both Windows and the appealing but largish Suse install... this is (still) a dual boot system. Disk 3 was reformatted to EXT2 and not all are being picked up by the system (I don't think 2 3 are). I can edit the fstab file, but how do I know which drive is actually now which device, when the devices listed are not updating, not all of them are being listed and the fstab listing no longer matches the current reality? Here are the facts: System Details: - ABit BP6 Mainboard - Dual Celeron CPUs - 512 MB SDRAM - Creative Nvidia TNT2 Ultra graphics card - Soundblaster Live Value sound card - Disk 1, Master on primary EIDE, 9Gb Fat32 Primary for Windows, 10Gb for Linux with default Suse install partions (boot, swap /) - CDROM, Acer 50x ATAPI = slave on primary EIDE - Disk 2, Master on secondary EIDE, 13.2Gb EXT2 for Linux storage - Disk 3, Slave on secondary EIDE, 4Gb fat32 Primary for Windows storage - Disk 4, Master on first ATA66 UDMA channel, 13Gb fat32 split into approximately two logical 6Gb drives/partitions.
