I use it for all my accounts and passwords for all my machines and customers. I ran into quite a bit of trouble trying to build it from source as it requires the Qt and Xorg headers to compile.
The following are the steps to build and install keepassx from source on Fedora 14
Step1: Install dependencies
Code:
yum -y install gcc gcc-c++ qt-devel qt-config libXtst-devel
Step 2: Fetch source code
Code:
wget http://downloads.sourceforge.net/keepassx/keepassx-0.4.3.tar.gz
Step 3: Unpack Source

why status of fedora-source is 0, dose this means there's no available packages in this repo? kernel-headers and kernel-devel have been installed, how can i install the kernel-source package?
What package do I have to install to build packages from sources? I am trying to build the TrueCrypt package from source.

The machine isn't hung, as from the DVD activity LED, it's still dutifully doing its thing, just not letting me see any of it. I'm thinking/hoping some kernel parameters might help, but I can't seem to find out what they would be.

View 1 Replies View RelatedI need to run a proprietary VPN client (Aventail) that can't use the openssl libraries that are packaged with 64bit F10:The Fedora openssl package does something differently from the original openssl.org package that makes it incompatible with Aventail (see bugzilla ticket 477073) I also believe the Aventail client software requires 32-bit libraries. So, I've determined I need to install 32bit openssl directly from openssl.org, then link my Aventail client to that. Note that I don't want to replace the 64bit openssl libraries currently on my system.
Based on the Bugzilla ticket, I believe I know how to hook up Aventail before I install it simply by supplying a few specific soft links if I can make/compile/whatever the 32bit openssl.org libraries and keep them in their own isolated directory. how to get the 32bit openssl libraries installed in a little corner by themselves on my 64bit system. give a step-by-step on on the commands necessary to place a 32bit version of openssl all by itself in a directory of my choosing?
I am trying to install logitech libwebcam but I can't get the source of uvcvideo driver. I have that driver installed and running properly and it appears when I do the lsmod, but I can't find the uvcvideo.h header file even after installing the kernel-headers and kernel-devel. Does it exist in a specific library that I should install ?

I was able to install it and use it right out the gate. I was then able to install two of my must-have programs, xchat and libreoffice without any problems either.Then I tried the same thing on my primary desktop at work (and since I run an IT department, I already have permission to do this :-)
The problem I'm getting is trying to install anything;the package manager is having trouble contacting the source.The exact error reads: "Software source download failed. Could not contact source 'fedora', so it will be disabled."I have not made anychanges to the firewall on the machine and the machine does have a working internet connection (I am posting from the machine). Any tips or advice on ways to troubleshoot would be great. I'm by no means a linux expert, but I can get around the system fairly well

Ive been using linux for a few months now and every now and again i come accross a program that doesnt have a rpm package but says that it can be installed on Fedora using source. I'm familiar with build essentials and the following commands:-
tar xzvf package.tar.gz
cd package
./configure
make
make install
but from what i have read fedora uses a differnet compiler. I'm trying to install Buddi budget manager and the ./configure command doesnt work, which im guessing is because it doesnt have a configure file? Can anyone confirm how to compile from source and whether there are any tutorials specific to fedora.
I have installed the fedora 14, but there is no kernel source tree.I read the doc "building a custom kernel".But I don't want to rebuild a new kernel.I just want to install the source tree of current kernel.Could someone tell me the way?
View 6 Replies View RelatedI'm sometimes getting a 'duplicate source' error when I update, but not always. Sometimes it's just fine, without me having changed anything significant. To be honest I don't really understand what's going on.
Here's my sources.list :
deb [URL] testing main
deb-src [URL] testing main
deb [URL] testing main contrib
deb-src [URL] testing main contrib
deb [URL] testing main non-free
deb-src [URL] testing main non-free .....
Whats with the duplicate sources referring to /var/lib...? I've never touched that directory. Ever. And why are there three 'duplicates' of testing/main when clearly I only have two in sources.list? I'm confused. Is my sources.list set up properly? Usually, running another update immediately after the first one cleans up the errors, but this keeps coming back every few days.
I am trying out Zenwalk Linux and so far love it. I have had to compile a couple of bits of software from source and don't know how I would update them when a new version comes out.The options are:1. Compile the new version and hope it overwrites the old one2.Uninstall the old version and compile the new.Option 2 feels safer but how do I uninstall a bit of software installed by compiling?

Longer version
I'm trying to set-up MailScanner which requires a newer version of Perl IO than CentOS 5 appears to have in it's standard repos.

When opening "Update-manager" I get this error:
E:Malformed line 47 in source list /etc/apt/sources.list (dist parse)
What I was trying to do was update my Opera web browser, when I tried, Ubuntu told me that I was attempting to download from an unauthenticated source, I checked the software sources list and Opera was in there, so I deleted it and re-added it, I must have done it wrong because after closing out and refreshing "Update-manager" it gave me the error above and closed. So now I can't update anything.
I recently got an iPhone 3g and have been trying to upload music onto my device with Rhythmbox because my computer exclusively runs Ubuntu (10.04 LTS, Lucid Lynx). Rhythmbox would show files that were dragged and dropped as being on the iPhone, and they appeared in the iPhone's folders, but they weren't recognized in the iPod player. I followed a variety of forum threads to try to fix the problem, but ended up creating a whole new set of problems with my package manager.
I get this error message before package manager opens: E: Type 'n' is not known on line 2 in source list /etc/apt/sources.list.d/pmcenery-ppa-lucid.list E: The list of sources could not be read. Go to the repository dialog to correct the problem. E: _cache->open() failed, please report.
And this message after I close the first error message window and the package manager opens: An unresolvable problem occurred while initializing the package information. report this bug against the 'update-manager' package and include the following error message:
'E:Type 'n' is not known on line 2 in source list /etc/apt/sources.list.d/pmcenery-ppa-lucid.list, E:The list of sources could not be read.' Does anyone have any recommendations on how to fix this? If it isn't already apparent, I am very inexperienced working with ubuntu, so the more detailed the response, the better.
