From make World:

bison -y -d pswparser.y

/bin/sh: line 1: bison: command not found

I guess I have to install bison as well. Put it on the list with autoconf, cvs, gcc...

I have a question... Why is it that I want to install something, if that something is lets say at CD1, it asks CD2, then CD4, then CD3 and then CD1? It doesn't read anything from the other 3 cds, stupid Mandrake 10...

And flex :crazy: Put that on the list too.

EDIT:

/usr/bin/ld: cannot find -lncurses

collect2: ld returned 1 exit status

make[4]: *** [resize] Error 1

What the hell is that now? What do I need to do?

hey guys, I finally plucked up the courage to install it. And it's GREAT! These shadows are NICE and transparency.

The only thing I haven't figured out yet is how to get windows to automatically go transparent when I drag them (in gnome 2.6.3) and how to get xcompmgr to run at startup?

And has anyone noticed during window minimzation small black lines left on the desktop? I'm using the .905 release...They go away when you drag a window over it.

Has anyone been able to build this on Fedora Core 2? I just tried this morning and 'make World' bombed out:

making all in lib/fontconfig...

Hail!

I have installed the 6.7.99.904 release of X.org and I got translucency and shadows working, however it is really bad performance, when moving the windows they lag like hell aswell as switching between them.

My computer:

700++ mb ram

1,4 ghz amd athlon

ati radeon 7200

It doesn't seem like you have this problem but does anyone know anything?

to have xcompmgr to go on startup add it to your .xinitrc file for example mine says

exec fluxbox & xcompmgr -c

Alright I have it all installed and it all works fine... until I enable the composite manager in xorg.conf. When I have the composite manager enabled, in flux I seemingly don't have "layers." So basically, I can't bring a window into focus, they stay in order on the desktop from the time the window was opened, and I can't bring any to the front. Also, when I start up xcompmgr, windows "stick." I don't know any better way to put this. When I move a window, the window moves, but it leaves it's print where it was previously. I hope you can understand that in those terms.

Any help would be greatly appreciated.

After a while.

Should I install, or fix something?

I'll take a stab in the dark and say you need the pam development files. Didn't say which distro but for ubuntu/debian thats package "libpam0g-dev" and for redhat/fedora thats "pam-devel"

    • Microsoft last raised game prices in 2023! Two years is not a long time!
    • It could be AMD Ryzen 5 5600X3D that didn't meet specs, but had enough of them for a "new" sku.
    • "don't recall the last time I clicked on the Windows icon or key to open the Start menu." While I am on Linux Mint, I just assume what I do, at least in regards to basic program loading, is got to be very close to how everyone else does it in that you either load a random program from a desktop icon or press Windows Key (or click Start Menu) and partially type in name of program, which causes it to show up and then press enter (or click it) etc. that's got to be very close to a very standard way most people load programs on a desktop PC and the like. because it's quick and to the point to get on with using your program. side note: I have a very limited amount of programs setup to start with a keyboard shortcut but I realize that obviously won't be standard, so I did not really mention that as part of the basic program loading stuff here. "I'm fine with the context menus in Windows 10" Exactly. because they are time-tested/standard. where as you can see where they are headed with Windows 11 things, while not horrible, it's a change I don't particularly like since it's a bit too different and one has to sort-of relearn (as you got to pay more attention to what icon is which, which slows you down) instead of reflexively just clicking stuff like we have done for ages. "Eh, does anyone really use this storefront?" Hell no. that's just a non-standard way to install stuff. downloading exe's from websites (and the like) has been the standard for decades. that store stuff is 'maybe' for people who are VERY tech illiterate. side note: that's one bonus to Win10's 'IoT Enterprise LTSC 2021' is that 'Store' junk is not even installed. TsarNikky said, "A result of unsupervised twenty-somethings running the development (?) and maintenance of Windows-11. With very rare exception they have no concept of how typical users interact with the OS." Yeah, assuming that's true... I wonder if these 20 somethings who grew up on smart phones instead of proper PC's have no idea what's actually been standard for a very long time now on real Desktop PC's (and the like) as you just don't screw with foundational standards of what people have been used to for decades purely for the sake of change. it makes no sense. smart phones are a straight up downgrade over proper PC's as I don't understand how people can spend any length of time online on a smart phone as they are better off on a proper desktop PC as it's just better all-around. about the only thing a smart phone is better than a PC is to look up something quick or do something quick etc. but if you are going to spend any real time online, a smart phone sucks as the small screen, typing on the on-screen keyboard etc is just flat out worse than a real desktop PC.
    • I love linux. But I also believe ChromeOS is as popular as it'll ever get with the mainstream consumers.
    • To this list we should add: - Previous versions from Restore Points (Shadow Copies) not run in Windows 11, the Previous Versions tab is empty (please don't mention File History, which has nothing to do with this). - Network Ethernet Link Aggregation or Virtual VLANs not run in Windows 11 from any brand, like Intel ANS (Advanced Network Services) in Intel ProSet that not run and is not supported in Windows 11 and is discontinued, they do not develop new versions for Windows 11 because they do not support it. - File Explorer is very, very slowly, lack of performance and very buggy, is constanly crashes. - Files Searches is a mess. - No local account allowed (at default).
