photoworks

Pretty drawings!!

Here is another one.

:D

I would love to see more of your works. If you don't mind ....

I am in the process of doing other work

So far , my first 2 attempts with inkscape resulted in this :

and this :

yes, designer and photographer.

discovered Inkscape recently and it is really good to ink and color drawings.

B)

Not sure if it is the right place to post this message, but i give it a go.

Took me a long time to make my tablet work and to familiarise myself with inkscape.

However i think i have the hang of it now.

Here is one of my few creation done entirely in Inkscape under Mandriva Spring 2007:

What do you guys think.

:mellow:

Just to clarify a bit, you spent less the a minute installing scribus. :)

 

You spent the evening setting up your development environment, which you would also have had to do using another OS (such as Windows), then compiling your application from source code (if that application version was not yet available for that OS).

 

I should also note here, that if you had read and followed the requirements and instructions on both the scribus web site and or the instructions in the tarball, it would not have taken so much of your time.

 

For the record, now that you have your dev-environment set up, it will not take so long to compile from source again.

 

I hope that you understand that this is an explanation, and not meant to be a sarcastic statement. :)

 

@admin, I suppose that this can be marked as solved.

i am sorry, but from the time i had all the requirements done and i started to launch the process from ./configure , it took 2 hours for my machine to compile and install scribus from the source. HARDLY 1 minute.

It's libqt3 and libqt3-devel, use your gui software management to find them. You will also need libxml2 and libxml2-devel.

 

Here are all the requirements.

amazing, i was able to compile scribus after having had to download 700 mb OF Development packages.

it was a very strenuous experience.

no wonder people stick to windows or mac.

i wasted all my evening to install scribus and after that i too tired and p*&"£ed of to do something on it.

Linux is defintely NOT READY for the common user, like all distros want to make us believe, it is still aimed to the fervent computer geek.

i am again very much disapointed.

like i said before, id rather spend my time using the DTP and graphic software raher than wasting time trying to install them.

all right, i finished installing the sdk packages and when i want to install qtlib, it tells me :

i am stuck again, 602 mb downloaded and installed for nothing.

i try to install qt-devel but it tells me taht :

urpmi qt-devel

Some requested packages cannot be installed:

PyQt-devel-3.15.1-4mdk.i586 (due to unsatisfied PyQt[== 3.15.1])

What you do need to understand is you are not simply installing a piece of software you are compiling software prior to installing it. Very different. Anyway the first output(s) as it says are warnings and scribus will carry on regardless.

QT problem tells you to look at the end of the config.log. This will have been created in the directory you are compiling from. Take a look at it and it will give you clues. Also the ./cofigure is telling it needs the (headers and libraries). You say you installed all the development packages you could find, may be you need sdk's, or qtlib packages.This is where the learning comes in. Look at the log file and I'll bet you find the answer in there.

all right, i finished installing the sdk packages and when i want to install qtlib, it tells me :

urpmi qtlib

No package named qtlib

i am stuck again, 602 mb downloaded and installed for nothing.

where is exactly that bloody information on what is wrong with with the installation ???

all right i have installed all development packages i can find.

now when i run ./configure, here is what it tells me :

No package 'fontconfig' found

not found

checking for fontconfig-config... no

configure: WARNING: Couldn't find fontconfig-config or find fontconfig with pkg-config

checking for FcPatternBuild in -lfontconfig... no

variables. If you're on a 64 bit machine, maybe you need to add

--enable-libsuffix=64 to the configure arguments.

See the BUILDING file for further details and troubleshooting information.

This library is optional, and Scribus will build without it. Continuing.

however when i tried to install the packages, it tells me that they are already installed, i.e :

[root@photoworks nova]# urpmi fontconfig

Package fontconfig-2.4.2-2mdv2007.1.i586 is already installed

urpmi qt3

Package qt3-common-3.3.8-4mdv2007.1.i586 is already installed

[root@photoworks nova]#

so i am at a loss again.

i don't understant all that hassle to install just one software.

help please.

:wall: :wall:

You have already been told that you need to install a bunch of -devel packages before trying to compile.

Else, no dice.

It's no secret that Mandriva isn't the best environment for building from source, but you may get away IF you pay attention to what has been suggested to you.

i already have installed the devel packages suggested (qt3, cups, python, ghostscript ) which other one do i need to install then ?

:unsure: :unsure: :unsure:

ok i tried it again by unpacking with Ark.

 

Now i enter the following command :

however, this is what is displayed :

here is what it says in the config file :

i am at a loss. !!!!!!!!!!!!!

 

any help, please ??????????????

Well, it says it cannot find the file. You're sure it's the right filename? Try open konqueror and then navigate to the file and unpack it using Ark (or file-roller if you're using gnome).

ok i tried it again by unpacking with Ark.

Now i enter the following command :

configure: exit 77

i am at a loss. !!!!!!!!!!!!!

If it's a tar.gz or a tar.bz2, see our FAQ.

hi, the file is a tar.bz2, i downloaded it from the sourceforge website and tried to uncompress it(by entering tar -xjvf /home/nova/download/scribus-1.3.3.9.tar.bz2). however this is what i got when i try it :

tar: /home/nova/download/scribus-1.3.3.9.tar.bz2: Cannot open: No such file or d irectory

tar: Error is not recoverable: exiting now

tar: Child returned status 2

tar: Error exit delayed from previous errors

any idea what is wrong ?

well, i have installed the scribus version 1.3.3.8 going through the steps you describe. however, i downloaded the tar version of scribus 13.3.9 and this is this version that i do not know how to install since it is a .tar file.

i look for a rpm version of the scribus 1.3.3.9 but was not successful in finding one.

hi,

i have installed scribus 1.3.3.8 on my mandriva 2007 spring, however, i seems to have some bugs, for example, the extended image properties (where you can find clipping paths) is greyed and i cannot edit the shape properly without moving the picture t the right of the box hence cutting right side of the box the image box "edit shape" . Somehow on the scribus 1.3.3.9 windows version that i was able to install, the bug about the shape edit properties of the image box is working fine.

I have downloaded the scribus 1.3.3.9 tar file, however i don't know how to install it.

Is there a rpm package somewhere for scribus 1.3.3.9 ?

help would be very much appreciated.

[moved from Art & Design by spinynorman]

i tried to install my canon i950 on mandriva 2007 spring.

there is an option to load the .ppd file from the canon printer cd rom or from the windows partition.

however, i cannot find the file on either.

Does anyone know on where to find the file ???

Help would be appreciated.

i am at a loss

anyone, please ?

:o

i recently downloaded and installed the new mandriva 2007 spring. I have pretty much been able to have all my hardware working under it. However, i still have issues with my Wacom Volito2 tablet. I installed the linux wacom rpm but, still, no success.

Does anyone knows a way to make it work.

i am at a loss and i would very much stop using windows graphics design softwares and want to switch to the linux (inkscape, for instance or gimp) but without my tablet graphic, i am stuck to Windows.

Any help would be very much welcome and appreciated.

I'm not sure if this is possible with Compiz but it works with Beryl.

how do you do it in beryl ?

i am using 3d desktop (the cube) with compiz.

is it possible to have different background on each side of the cube when you rotate the cube ?

Help would be very much appreciated !!!

It's natural.

Audio CD's cannot be mounted normally (because audioCD's do not have any filesystem in it), but Amarok, as well as other KDE apps, use the KDE virtual filesystem, which can access unmountable stuff (just open konqueror and type in "audiocd:/").

xmms will also be able to see the audioCD, provided that you pass the correct /dev/hdx parameter in its configuration.

what are the correct parameters to put in configuration ?

strange occurence on my inspiron 4150 since i installed mandriva spring.

when i insert a music cd and i want to play it with xmms, it does not recognize the cd.

when i look in the files browser and click on the cd, the contents are not displayed.

however, when i launch amarok, and click on play cd, it works.

any idea about this ?

the best looking and functioning osx-like bar is imho kxdocker (also available at kde-look.org).

i tried to install kxdocker and run it (tried it on mandriva 2006 and 2007-1)

however nothing appears. I thought initially that the application did not launch, but after a while i discovered through the konsole that it is runing, even though there is nothing on the screen).

i tried to use ksmoothdock but this application is not as smooth as its name implies.

i will try to install kroller to see if it works.

:D

On my Mandriva 2006 server with Apache version 2.0.54 the webmin module for apache is configured:

 

Apache server root directory: /etc/httpd

Path to httpd executable: /usr/sbin/httpd

Command to start apache: /etc/rc.d/init.d/httpd start

Command to stop apache: /etc/rc.d/init.d/httpd stop

Path to httpd.conf: Automatic

at last, i got it, it works

thanks.
