Just tried to install gnucash on a fresh install of 13.37. ALL dependencies are installed, with no errors from any. The gnucash slackbuild dies with a message that says "gnome.h, no such file or directory". All I can find is that it is and very old dependency of gnome.

I've been using Eric's KDE packages since last June or so, and have been using the same command the whole time to download them. But today I went to get KDE 4.4.5 for the fresh 13.1 install I just did on my wife's laptop and KDE 4.4.85 (hell, yeah!) for my -current box. In both cases the command returned the same error. Here's the command and error message on my -current machine:
Code:
gene@lemon:~$ rsync -av --progress rsync://alien.slackbook.org/ktown/4.5.85 .

I have 4 1GB memory modules in my AMD64 X2, and Slackware 64-13.1 'free' tells me I only have 3.7GB. Never heard of this problem on a 64bit system.
View 6 Replies View RelatedI wish to do a fresh install of Slackware without KDE. I could use my Slackware 13.1 DVD but I thought, why not give -current at try? Is there a -current ISO or must I install 13.1, without KDE, and then upgrade to -current? Or, is it possible to remove 'all things KDE' and then upgrade to -current?

I installed slack 13 from disk 1, and then went ahead and installed the missing sets using slapt-get (t,tcl,x,xap and y). I skipped the kde and kdei sets. When I start xfce, the fonts are all messed up as shown in the attachment.
View 2 Replies View RelatedI'm not sure how you do it, but it seems like you should be able to. How do you upgrade the version to 13 without burning a new CD? I just used slackpkg update, slackpkg upgrade-all, but when I tried install-new it had nothing to do.

While loading I can move mouse and if I hit caps_lock the lamp at the keyboard turns on and off.
In the setup I choosed to use vesa - allthoug I afterr that even tried to boot from lilo into vga-mode.
I am, a litle rusty after have been brainwashed through Ubuntu for a few years (sigh) - so I really am not sure which config-file I should edit, and xorg.conf seems to be empty.

Installed fresh Slack 13.0 version, at 7GB virtual hdd, with cfdisk, created two primary partitions, 500 mb for swap, whats left, to second partition, made it bootable, installed full software package, used all default selections, only refused to configure network. At first restart, I got a screen with many statements, that looks like errors, and a last one, that looks like critical error.

Any kde app(dolphin, device notifier...) can't see my internal drive with ntfs and any connected flash drive.

I've installed all required and recommended and some optional packages from URL...and it has no effect. Does anybody know what i have to do to make it work.
View 2 Replies View RelatedGnucash 2.4 has been released and I'd like to install it in my OpenSuSE 11.3 system. It isn't in any of the repositories that I have listed, although it might be in some repository I don't know about. If it's not in a repository, then I'll have to build it from source. I downloaded the source package and attempted to build it, starting with configure. I got as far as this:
configure: External QOF Disabled. Using Internal QOF Code.
checking dbi/dbi.h usability... no
checking dbi/dbi.h presence... no
checking for dbi/dbi.h... no

The perl-DBI package is installed, so that's probably not what it's looking for.So what do I need to do to install Gnucash 2.4?
Based on Product highlights - openSUSE, it would appear that using sqlite3 in gnucash would be available. However, I do not have an option to save an existing book to the database format, nor is it available when creating a new book - only xml is available. Is there anything special that I need to do to enable the sqlite backend?

View 1 Replies View RelatedI ordered a SuSE 11.4 installation DVD from an online Linux Distro distributer that I've used before with no problems. I did this rather than burn my own DVD from the website. I thought that I might perform a fresh install of SuSE 11.4 on this Dell 1420 Laptop that is currently running Ubuntu 11.04.
Note, this is a completely fresh install, not a side-by-side installation with Ubuntu; I followed the installation sequence that completely repartitions the entire disk for SuSE, and accepted all of the suggested options regarding logon, etc.
Everything goes well ... sort of. The first install didn't reboot correctly, i.e., the set-up that is supposed to run after the initial install never happened and I had to manually power-down the machine and restart from the "safe mode." Needless to say, that didn't work as expected. So, I re-install, from scratch, trying different options: for instance, instead of LVM, I decide to have an un-encrypted partition scheme and accept the "obvious" options ... thinking that the LVM options interacted badly with the install. Eventually I get the installation to proceed correctly, or so it appears: it goes though the entire sequence, including the re-boot, building the default image, etc.
I test this image by removing the DVD, power-cycling the machine, and all looks good, so I begin the process of installing software updates, etc. Being paranoid, I re-boot the machine, and all restarts correctly, etc.
Now here's the annoying thing. The next day, I power the machine on, and it locks at the splash screen. By the way, these are the exact symptoms that I experienced with the bogus/incomplete installations. The boot sequence proceeds up to the splash screen and waits forever.
So, in sum: I spent inordinate amounts of time attempting to install this software, carefully following the instructions provided by the installer. In every instance, after leaving the machine off for a day or so and rebooting, I am met with a splash screen that sits forever. Needless to say, I am extremely reluctant to repeat another day of software installation to only have to re-start with no assurances of success. Either I go back to ugly Ubuntu (which has always worked out of the box, by the way), or I look at other options. I was hoping to use SuSE, but I really don't care which distro is on that machine as long as it works and it provides TeX, R, Emacs, Scheme, and a few other software packages that I'm sure are of no interest to your customer base.
I am looking to update from 11.1 to 11.3. My question is would it be better to update my current setup, or do a fresh install of 11.3? I was never able to get 11.2 to install no matter what I tried so I gave up on it and went back to my tried and true 11.1. What is the best way for me to get 11.3 on my computer?

I have been trying to install openSUSE 11.4 on a Windows 7 laptop, but the suggested partitioning sucks and I lack the skills to do it manually. I would like to format the laptop drive, give up Windows for good and do a fresh install of openSUSE 11.4. openSUSE wants me to keep Windows boot. But I do not want it!
I have tried for an hour now. Can't format, there is no options for that in the openSUSE 11.4 install. There are expert options, but I really do not know how many partitions does openSUSE require. For some strange reason openSUSE wants to keep my Windows partitions. WHY? And if I delete all of the partitions, it wont automatically recreate the needed partitions for openSUSE, it only displays errors and won't let me continue.
For the love of God, do I have to open the laptop, remove the hard drive, put it in another computer and format there?
Why isn't there an option for removing all partitions, formatting the drive and installing openSUSE?

By the way, since my laptops internal DVD is broken and I will not repair it until my daughter is old enough to handle optical drives, I use USB DVD and it won't give me any boot options but starts installation right away. This is also strange.

I downloaded the iso from the webpage and used the live cd option. From there I chose install and proceeded to install the OS. Everything went fine and I got a message that the system would need to restart without the live cd. I saw the chameleon with the white growing line under (which seemed to run to it's completion) and then I came to a screen mostly white with three option buttons in the bottom right corner and my mouse with the waiting symbol spinning in the middle of the screen. Basicly the symbols stops spinning after a little while and the system hangs. I have tried starting in fail safe mode and run level 3 with the same result. My laptop is a MSI GX740
Edit: I have tried both ubuntu and mint earlier today and those Live CDs wouldn't even start. Also I am using the CD size Gnome ISO. Maybe some of the content on the dvd iso would provide support for my HW?

My Thinkpad is set up with ext4 for / and, as an unformatted leftover from the last update, /home is setup with ext 3. I intended, as always to leave /home alone, reformat / and do a fresh install. One this occasion though I am wondering whether to bite the bullet and reformat /home as well and do a complete fresh install all around. Other than the advantages of ext 4 over 3, is there any advantage to occasionally cleaning out KDE and doing it fresh?
View 1 Replies View RelatedI tried to update one of my home machines with a fresh install. This is far from new to me so I did not expect any problem. But I was proven wrong. First: did install the system as usual. First anomaly: system blocked during the install process but did restart it flawlessly one I tried to eject the DVD from the player. It needed actually that intervention to retake working. It then went to install and froze during the first system start. I rebooted with failsafe settings, it then correctly configured. I reached a beautiful desktop. I performed the updates from the update repository and I joined the nvidia proprietary driver repository (which updated to the G02 driver).
I then rebooted the machine and now I am in trouble. In normal mode the system (dual boot Opensuse, XP) does not boot at all and freezes immediately after hitting enter as before. In safe mode it goes further but does not reach X anymore. It blocks with the following line statement: "system console stolen at line 266". I then tried "startx". But the system goes into a scrolling loop that does not allow me to read the output. how to get at least the error message of the loop? I read some line passing by that the system might have an X11 authorization problem.

View 3 Replies View RelatedI just performed my first (successful?) Ubuntu installation. The installation process seemed to go fine, and I selected "Ubuntu Desktop" when asked which set of packages I wanted to install. I assumed this was a standard choice.
After the installation finished, the system rebooted and brought me to a login prompt.I'll mention at this point that I have SOME prior experience with Linux systems, but I'm by no means an expert, and I'm new to Ubuntu. I logged in and tried startx, only to be informed that it was not installed. Having performed a network install, I have internet access on the machine, so I tried "sudo apt-get install xinit" which seemed to work, but now when I run startx, my window shrinks to a portion of my monitor size, the colours invert (black prompt on a white background) and the system locks up. I'm assuming this is some sort of video driver issue, and could probably explore further, but I figured I'd ask some experts first.
