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"

    • Certificates for one of Windows 11's hardware requirements expire soon, here is what to know by Taras Buria Secure Boot is a known term for Windows 11 users. It is one of Windows 11's hardware requirements, and without it, the operating system cannot be installed, at least officially. Secure Boot was introduced in 2012 with the release of Windows 8, and its certificates, first issued in 2011, are set to expire soon. Now, Microsoft has posted a blog post about the importance of this event and why organizations and users must ensure their Secure Boot certificates are up to date. In a nutshell, Secure Boot is a special mechanism that ensures that your PC is using verified firmware and a trusted bootloader. Certificates released in 2011 will expire in June 2026, and if left outdated, will disrupt the integrity of the device startup process. Without new certificates, Windows Boot Manager and Secure Boot components can't receive security fixes, leaving affected devices exposed to bootkit malware (such as BlackLotus), which is very hard to detect with standard antivirus software. Other results of having expired Secure Boot certificates include the inability to trust software signed with new certificates. PCs that could be affected by expired certificates include physical and virtual machines (VMs) with supported versions of Windows 10, Windows 11, Windows Server 2025, Windows Server 2022, Windows Server 2019, Windows Server 2016, Windows Server 2012, Windows Server 2012 R2. Copilot+ PCs released in 2025 are not affected. To avoid these potentially disastrous consequences, Microsoft urges organizations and users to update their entire PC fleet to newer certificates, which were released in 2023: Expiration Date Expiration Certificate Updated Certificate What it does Storing Location June 2026 Microsoft Corporation KEK CA 2011 Microsoft Corporation KEK 2K CA 2023 Signs updates to DB and DBX Key Enrollment Key (KEK) Microsoft Corporation UEFI CA 2011 (or third-party UEFI CA)* Microsoft Corporation UEFI CA 2023 Microsoft Option ROM UEFI CA 2023 Signs third-party OS and hardware driver components Signs third-party option ROMs Allowed Signature database (DB) October 2026 Microsoft Windows Production PCA 2011 Windows UEFI CA 2023 Signs the Windows bootloader and boot components So, what do you need to do? Microsoft says that the easiest solution is to let Microsoft manage your Windows updates. In the upcoming months, Microsoft will release new certificates as part of monthly cumulative updates, so it will take care of everything for you. The company also recommends enrolling Windows 10 devices in the Extended Security Updates program, which is free for regular consumers and paid for enterprises. Microsoft will also provide the necessary certificates for Linux systems that dual-boot Windows. Of course, not every Windows PC can receive such updates. For example, so-called "air-gapped" devices, which are physically isolated from the internet and local networks, cannot receive updates like your home PC does. For such devices, Microsoft offers limited support, which is detailed in the blog post. You can also track Windows Secure Boot certificate updates on a newly published support document. You can check if your system has Secure Boot enabled by pressing Win + R, typing msinfo32, and checking "Secure Boot State."
