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.

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.

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"

    • Linux is still in its infancy, nothing works automatically. I can't even do a normal installation on my laptop without having to tweak the video card otherwise I have no picture at all. With Windows everything works without problems, just install a game and play but without having to open all kinds of tricks

    • 2025 finally the Year of Linux? LibreOffice explains "real costs" of Windows 11 by Sayan Sen A big change is coming to Windows PCs as Microsoft will soon end support for systems and devices running on Windows 10. As such, the company, alongside its partners like AMD, Asus, and Dell, have begun urging users to embrace the "mandatory Windows 11 upgrade." The problem is that not every PC out there will be able to do so, at least not officially, as Microsoft had declared higher requirements for Windows 11 and thus many systems would be left out. Redmond's official stance for such situations is that users get a new computer by dumping their older system. There is another option users have: switching to Linux. Back in January, earlier this year, ESET recommended that users do that if they can not upgrade from Windows 10 to 11 or perhaps when they do not want to. Last month, KDE launched a new campaign dubbed "Endof10", which encourages users to make the jump. The project page explains several of the benefits of Linux over an unsupported Windows 10 system, like security and privacy, among others. And it also published another post earlier this month welcoming such "Windows 10 exiles". Now, The Document Foundation, maker of LibreOffice, has also joined in to support the Endof10 initiative. The foundation writes: "You don’t have to follow Microsoft’s upgrade path. There is a better option that puts control back in the hands of users, institutions, and public bodies: Linux and LibreOffice. Together, these two programmes offer a powerful, privacy-friendly and future-proof alternative to the Windows + Microsoft 365 ecosystem." It further adds the "real costs" of upgrading to Windows 11 as it writes: "The move to Windows 11 isn’t just about security updates. It increases dependence on Microsoft through aggressive cloud integration, forcing users to adopt Microsoft accounts and services. It also leads to higher costs due to subscription and licensing models, and reduces control over how your computer works and how your data is managed. Furthermore, new hardware requirements will render millions of perfectly good PCs obsolete. .... The end of Windows 10 does not mark the end of choice, but the beginning of a new era. If you are tired of mandatory updates, invasive changes, and being bound by the commercial choices of a single supplier, it is time for a change. Linux and LibreOffice are ready — 2025 is the right year to choose digital freedom!" To help users with the migration from Windows to Linux, The Document Foundation has laid out some key steps on how to proceed: Start by testing Linux and LibreOffice on a second partition of your PC (for individuals) or in less critical departments (for companies). Check the compatibility of your software configuration with Linux and LibreOffice; most office tasks can easily be transferred or adapted with minimal effort. Build documentation to learn how Linux and LibreOffice work and organise training if necessary. Find a consultant who can help with the migration process, such as someone certified by the Linux Professional Institute or The Document Foundation (for LibreOffice). The foundation stresses how "important" it is to "start immediately" with the transition. You can find the full details about the announcement here in the official blog post.
    • Why is it that some people think we have a tinfoil hat mentality, as you put it, just because we don't want AI on our devices? As for MS or any other company looking at everything, it seems to be the thing these days that companies want to know all about us. Can't even go shopping these days without being asked if you have some sort of card that tell them what you are buying and who you are.
    • Until the employer looks right though the AI created letter and notice it is AI created. You will be surprised how many can tell, there is something about an AI created letter that stands out to some people.
