Personally I think when one uses such a command and it returns a whopping great list of things it is going to remove should be a blaring warning to newbies/guru's or whoever that something is amiss and the ONLY action to take is press N until such lists have been examined more closely. As much as it hurts the result should be marked down as experience. Been there, done it, got the T shirt etc. :D

urpme --auto-orphans seems to have been fixed in 2009.1 I have just used it and it correctly identified the uneeded libs. 2009.0 it was broken like you said, however the first time I used it I simply examined the list of items it was going to remove and immediately hit the N. There was a few posts on this dangerous action shortly after 2009.0 was launched.

That's odd because mines alright. I'm using kde4.

I can't help with your other niggles, sorry.

It's just that I really enjoy playing with these things. I also like to be able to use and control various tools. So it's more for the sake of learning than the sake of being able to finish the project.

Welcome to my wold I spend (waste as my wife says :D ) many hours learning these things. Good luck.

Although I have not used the Qt ide. The ones that I have used the compiler has to be able to find the headers for your code. This is done by supplying options as to 'include' directories. As you discovered your code could not find the *.h files needed to include.

Depending how the particular ide handles this you will need to read up about unless ppcrulez can point you in the right direction. It would be fair to say I feel you are on a steep learning curve here just to do what may seem like a simple task.

If as I understand things you merely want to produce a simple application you may be as well not using an ide and do your compiling and linking using the command shell. Debugging is not too difficult this way unless you have many hundred lines of code, but even then you can still debug a 'c' program this way. Only when you get to using GUIs and complicated code blocks does a proper ide come into play because you can use breakpoints and watch variables and things which is not possible from the command line.

This doesn't mean to say don't use an ide if you prefer, it's just how I see things. :)

It works a treat. If you want to produce a GUI app you may need to install GTK+ & glade, although I did notice something to do with being able to use QT widgets but I didn't take a lot of notice.

If you want a nice friendly IDE then I would suggest kdevelop 3.5

Not the fastest by any means, however by using the build and debug functionality then your development time is reduced.

Fairly easy to learn and if you want it extensive documentation.

My mistake I didn't realise you had gnome installed, however just for you I am in the process of installing kdevelop 3.5 onto my laptop which is running on gnome desktop. I do need to install bunch of libs but not kde desktop stuff. I'll report back shortly.

Did you have a look at kdevelop? All the libraries and requirements for QT are in the repos so there is no need to download their IDE.

And you can develop projects C as well as C++ if you want I know I have done it.

Kde is/was built on QT and kdevelop worked quite well for developing all manner of compiled software. I have use it for C & C++ both with and without QT.

However I think kdevelop is called something else in KDE4.2

Tried Anjuta but found it very messy in the way it handled files and folders, yet it was the better one for developing GTK apps.

Here's one of mine

Well I have an HP2600n colour laser which I have used since mandrake 10.1. Works out of the box so to speak using the foo2zjs driver, never a minutes bother. Linux colour photo printing leaves a lot to be desired yet though.

If you want to leave the machine active you could always log out, then as medo3891 says your files and folders will not be accessible to anyone except you and root. You will need to set permissions so that no-one else can enter your private folders. Of course if other members of your family know the root password then it's very difficult.

Before a re-install it may be worth having a look at the udev rules. It looks as though udev is trying to start something that isn't there.

Teşekkür ederim SilverSurfer60, sizleride görmek isteriz :)

Thanks to Google I translated your reply and I say you are welcome, Good Luck.

I would visit your forum but I cannot read nor understand Turkish, thank you for your invite.

iyi ÅŸanslar

Good Luck, with the forum, at least I hope that's what it says. Please excuse me if its wrong.

It took me at least five attempts to install but finally manged it by removing everything to do with kde, even deleted the .kde4 folders and did a re-install of ked4 from the ftp site and it's working fine now. So far anyway.

There is no need to compile QT you can find all you need in 'Install & Remove Software' in the menu, or if you prefer use 'Configure Your Computer'.

Update: The card is too old there is no firmware for my card. Ah well guess I will have to part with a tenner.

[solved]

Many thanks Greg, I must admit I never even thought of doing a firmware upgrade to the Sitecom. It may be an old card but it works well, good range and very rarely drops the signal.It does require orinoco_cs to co-operate. I'll certainly give it a try. The Belkin stays where it is though, unless it progresses to the bin. Thank you again. I'll post back with the progress.

Thank you for that Ffi. I have already sat in the same room as the ap with no difference. I have ruled out the interference that I thought may be a cause for concern. In fact I have rectified the problem. I have now found another use for the card as it fits neatly under my table leg and stops it rocking. Thank you I'll call it solved as I will go get another one.

The last time I looked at the kde site/forums it was mentioned that multiple display was not supported in kde4.1 so I dunno how you managed it. Well done. Mind you I am using a NVIDIA card. :unsure:

Thank you Tyme but the access point is capable of 802.11g.

With regards to the interference, this is a possibility which I am going to have to try and resolve, if indeed this is a cause as I am getting another entirely different unrelated problem which could be caused by interference. Something I have introduced to my property around early December 2008. At least that's when it manifested but could have been introduced earlier.

Welcome to MUB

Sorry to inform you that separate displays are not yet supported by KDE4 at the moment. Hopefully they will be soon.

My poor old laptop again. The thing is I want to use wpa instead of wep encryption on the wifi network. This laptop does not have a ethernet card otherwise I would use that instead of wifi.

The hare is an old Sitecom WN-PCC-01 IEEE 802.11b and it has a transfer rate of approximately 128 kb/s, however it is not compatible with wpa.

The tortoise is a new Belkin 802.11g 54mbps and is fully compatible with wpa, installing it is a breeze, however I can only get a transfer rate of around 32 kb/s.

I have tried this card using wep but it is the same result. The MTU is the same for both cards. There are no errors recorded in the log files and no errors recorded with iwconfig/ifconfig after a session.

I'm at a loss as to where to start looking now.

Any help will be appreciated.

Thank You in advance.
