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:

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.

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"

    • Why do you disable the spooler? Also, if your printer is an inkjet, it may use more ink by turning it off. Both my printers are on standby, ready to be used when ever I want to.
    • I was thinking a similar thing. But much like a majority of the slop, I think it is incorporating AI for the sake of it. Bloat to say, "look at the new feature!"
    • So glad I don't use Edge and I delete history in my browser every day. This AI stuff is getting too much.
    • City in France is latest to ditch Windows and Office in favor of Linux and FOSS alternatives by Usama Jawad A couple of weeks ago, we learned that Denmark is ditching Windows and Microsoft's Office suite in favor of Linux and LibreOffice. This isn't entirely surprising, as we also heard of German plans to do something similar back in 2021 - that effort aims to migrate 30,000 government PCs by 2027. Now, the French city of Lyon has decided to go in this direction too. As spotted by The Register, the local government of Lyon has decided to ditch Windows, Microsoft's Office applications, and Microsoft SQL, and adopt alternatives like Linux, OnlyOffice, and PostgreSQL. It is interesting to see that the authorities have opted for OnlyOffice, a software available under the GNU Affero General Public License, rather than the more popular alternative, LibreOffice. In a similar vein, it will also rely on a suite called "Territoire Numerique Ouvert" (Open Digital Territory) for online communication and other tasks related to office automation. A French agency that promotes industrial development in local municipalities also awarded a €2 million grant to enhance the suite and get it operational in data centers. According to reports, thousands of individuals are already leveraging Territoire Numerique Ouvert. This is an important turning point for the French city. Lyon is the third-largest city in France, serving over a million people through 10,000 government employees. Thousands of enterprise customers suddenly switching to Linux and similar free and open source software (FOSS) certainly can't be good news for Microsoft, which is likely reeling already from the Danish shock. Just like Denmark, Lyon's primary rationale behind the move is to reduce dependency on software originating from the United States. Another reason is also the desire to extend the life of its hardware, thereby reducing the environmental impact of e-waste. It will be interesting to see if Lyon can stick true to its plans. As some of you may remember, back in 2017, the German city of Munich returned to Windows after spending a decade on Linux.
