Re: problem with starting up lyx using Qt, compiled with gcc 3.2

2003-02-17 Thread Nirmal Govind
Thanks a lot.. I checked and it was using the wrong libqt.so.3 from the /usr/lib directory instead of /usr/local/qt/lib.. I guess I have to set the LD_LIBRARY_PATH? How do I do this for lyx to use the lib in /usr/local/qt/lib without affecting the path to other libraries? Currenly LD_LIBRARY_PATH

Permedia3 console & 2.4.x kernel

2003-02-17 Thread Michael Hackett
I recently upgraded from the 2.2.20-pmac kernel to the 2.4.18-powerpc version, in order to get usb-storage support for my SmartMedia reader, and in doing so, I lost my console display. X still runs fine, and that's mostly what I use, but it would still be nice to have console working as well. Prev

What method to get kernel source?

2003-02-17 Thread Nathan S.
It seems like there are multiple ways of getting kernel source. I'm new to Debian/Linux, so I don't know which method would be best for me, so I would like to ask for some pointers before I have to make the 24 MB download. I have a beige g3/233 if it affects anything. I look forward to waiting fo

Debian comes up with clock 14 hours off

2003-02-17 Thread Craig P Steffen
I just installed new-powerpc Debian (testing) on my Apple iBook. I dual-boot with Mac OS X. I am running the stock kernel that came with the new-powermac installation, 2.4.18-newpmac. When Linux boots, it sets is time to 14 hours ahead of what it should be, whereas Mac OS X has the correct idea

Has anyone had an problems with the nvidia driver on the GForce 2MX? I have tried several of the latest XFree86 versions and several of the latest kernels. When I start X I get just a blank screen that requires a reboot to clear. I can log in remotely though. I look in the X and kernel logs an

Altivec support in gcc

Hi, A colleague is trying to get the distributed.net client in Linux to use Altivec with a 7451 G4 CPU. I understand that when we build the program, our version of gcc needs to support altivec (?) (I know nothing of this).. is that right? We use gcc 2.95.3, would it support altivec, is there
