OpenGL problems
by Ali Helmy 30 Aug '06

30 Aug '06

Hey lads, I need to ask some help of you... here's my dilemma: I wanted to install the TuxRacer <http://tuxracer.sourceforge.net/> game, so i downloaded the .tar.gz file, and unpacked... on running ./configure though, i got the following message: configure: error: Your copy of glx.h is out of date. You can get a more recent copy from the latest Mesa distribution (http://mesa3d.sourceforge.net ). So, I strolled over to mesa3d and downloaded their latest installed library pack... then when trying to install it by make install, i got: mkdir ${INCLUDE_DIR} mkdir: cannot create directory `/usr/local/include': File exists mkdir ${INCLUDE_DIR}/GL mkdir: cannot create directory `/usr/local/include/GL': File exists mkdir ${INCLUDE_DIR}/GLES mkdir: cannot create directory `/usr/local/include/GLES': File exists mkdir ${LIB_DIR} mkdir: cannot create directory `/usr/local/lib': File exists cp -f ${TOP}/include/GL/*.h ${INCLUDE_DIR}/GL cp -f ${TOP}/src/glw/*.h ${INCLUDE_DIR}/GL # NOT YET: cp -f ${TOP}/include/GLES/*.h ${INCLUDE_DIR}/GLES cp ${CP_FLAGS} ${TOP}/lib*/lib* ${LIB_DIR} echo "Done." Done. Now, when i try and install tuxracer, i get the same message of the out-dated glx header... so, i don't really know what to do... Ideas? -- A. Helmy

kdesktop_lock won't authenticate against AD
by Marcelo Magno T. Sales 25 Aug '06

25 Aug '06

Hi, My FC5 / KDE box is part of a Windows 2000 domain. I've configured it to authenticate login credentials against Active Directory and it's working well. However, when I lock the desktop (manually or via password protected screen saver), I can not unlock it if the logged in user is an Active Directory user. kdesktop_lock fails with the following message: "Cannot unlock the session because the authentication system feiled to work; you must kill kdesktop_lock (pid_of_process) manually" A local user can unlock the desktop without problems. Any idea about what may be causing this? Here is may pam configuration for kcheckpass (/etc/pam.d/kcheckpass): #%PAM-1.0 auth sufficient pam_timestamp.so auth include system-auth account required pam_nologin.so account include system-auth password include system-auth session include system-auth session required pam_loginuid.so session optional pam_timestamp.so session optional pam_selinux.so session optional pam_console.so Also, /usr/bin/kcheckpass permisions are set as 4755. Thanks, Marcelo

xcalc missing?
by Joe Klemmer 25 Aug '06

25 Aug '06

Anyone know where xcalc went off to? It was on my FC4 install but it's disappeared since the (funky) FC5 update. I don't know if it's really not there or if I fraged it doing the upgrade. -- Boring Home Page - http://www.webtrek.com/joe See my blog, sumo game ranks and other interesting junk

Monodevelop et al on FC5
by Paul F. Johnson 15 Aug '06

15 Aug '06

Hi, http://www.all-the-johnsons.co.uk/mono/rpms.html Other than ikvm and monodoc, the rest are currently waiting for approval for inclusion into FE. Use them at your own risk. Issues ------ Currently, there is a problem with gtk-2.9 which means monodevelop is prone to falling flat on it's face. This is supposed to be fixed in the next rawhide release (2.9.3). If you're on FC5, this version will filter down to you when it's happy. Changes ------- Most of the packages are now noarch (exceptions being boo and nant). This is inline with the proposed mono packaging rules. boo is now the current upstream version and requires nant The x86_64 versions will be uploaded later today (Friday, 16th June) If the apps fail or cause problems, please email me directly with the bug report.

Sane doesn't see HP5370C scanner -
by Bob Goodwin 12 Aug '06

12 Aug '06

Sane did work with this equipment under FC-4 but of course I wiped everything out when I installed FC-5. This morning I thought I'd like to get the scanner working but my efforts have been to no avail. My notes don't indicate any unique configuration under FC-4? Some of the indications I am seeing are as follows: scanimage -L No scanners were identified. sane-find-scanner found USB scanner (vendor=0x03f0, product=0x0701) at libusb:001:002 # Your USB scanner was (probably) detected. It may or may not be supported by # SANE. Try scanimage -L and read the backend's manpage. lsusb -v Bus 001 Device 002: ID 03f0:0701 Hewlett-Packard ScanJet 5300c/5370c Device Descriptor: bLength 18 bDescriptorType 1 bcdUSB 1.00 bDeviceClass 0 (Defined at Interface level) bDeviceSubClass 0 bDeviceProtocol 0 bMaxPacketSize0 8 idVendor 0x03f0 Hewlett-Packard idProduct 0x0701 ScanJet 5300c/5370c bcdDevice 0.01 iManufacturer 1 iProduct 2 iSerial 3 bNumConfigurations 1 -------- snip ------- It appears that the computer recognizes the scanner but sane does not? I don't know where to look next , what to do? Nothing I have found has been of much help. Suggestions appreciated. Thanks. Bob Goodwin Zuni, Virginia w2bod

RE: Web-design in Fedora
by LinuxMedia 03 Aug '06

03 Aug '06

> Can anyone suggest a good tutorial or howto > for someone designing a web-site (their first) > intended to run under Apache/Fedora ? > Any advice or suggestions gratefully received. I learned from a book called "HTML 4 for the world wide web" (fourth edition) by Elizabeth Castro. I can't imagine a better, easier book to follow and understand. And it's an extreemly good reference book. If you want to look up how to do something specific... you go right to that page. I have since lost touch with the (constant and endless) changes with creating web pages and web sites. But HTML 4 is a very solid, basic language that should run on most (if not all) browsers. Any browser specific tags (in the book) are clearly listed as such. Hope this helps, Rocco
