<0> this is linux fc4
<0> If GLIB was installed in PREFIX, make sure PREFIX/bin is in your path
<1> ah you install from source? try to install glib-dev if whereis glib-config doesnt tell you something
<0> ok
<0> that is a common problem among rpm distros?
<1> if you install sources yes you need the -dev packages
<1> its not a problem imho one should just know that
<0> ok
<2> Alaxender: You should really not install from sources when precomplied binaries are available. Binaries saves you alot of issues like this.
<3> uh, this rather looks like a mix of rpm and source install now - he said "i just downloaded glib and compile and installed it already"
<0> yeah
<3> congrats, you just utterly borked your system
<0> omg
<2> Reinstall County Jail :P
<0> which means?
<1> not necessarily but i wouldnt recommend glib from source too hehe



<2> Alaxender: You should be allright if you just get the glib RPM and install that, forcing it to overwrite whatever it finds of the source install.
<1> you`d stick to your distro if dont have certain reasons
<2> Then get the irssi RPM and do that.
<0> ok
<2> hopefully RPM wil successfully unbreak everything, and you'll get irssi going.
<2> If you have alot of stuff compiled from source you'll probably have dependancy problems, with RPM telling you you don't have something.
<2> That's why it's best to stick to the packaging system of your distro :)
<4> Even if it's snackware? =)
<2> slakwhore dosn't have a packaging system. It has an alias for 'tar zxvf $1&&cd $1&&./configure&&make install', but that dosn't count :P
<4> hehehe
<2> Seriously tho', slack has actually made some effort towards a real packaging system
<2> it might even turn out good if left to stew for a while.
<2> But why reinvent apt? apt exists allready.
<2> dpkg, even
<4> Yah, dpkg & apt r teh r0x0r!!11!!
<2> hehe, well, I'm a fan.
<2> dpkg fanboi... that's sad.
<2> I'm the "Did you ever `apt-get moo`??!?!?" type, too ...
<4> Though, perhaps non-geek type folk won't get the humour behind it
<1> geeks use emerge :P
<2> I'm just glad my wife runs Debian, too. If she wasn't into computers I'd be very alone in the universe :P
<2> john1008: I seriously don't have the time for emerge. When I want software downloaded and installd, I want it today, usually.
<4> john1008: Only geeks with too much time on their hands
<2> Went from XF86 to Xorg in 20 minutes. Let's see that done with emerge...
<1> haha the .deb-folks
<1> indeed i liked it too
<2> Also, I had a bit of a chuckle over this:
<2> A friend of mine is a Gentoo penguin. He had no printer, so no print stuff was in his USE flags.
<2> Then he got a printer, put printer stuff in the USE flags and did "emerge world" or whatever it is you do.
<2> Took a week...
<4> lol
<4> Demonen: Yeah, but atleast everything was optimised!!!
<2> Coma: YEAH, AND IT'S SO FAST THERE IS NO DELAY WHEN USING ps! NO MATTER HOW MANY PROCESSES HE HAS!!!!!1111oneone
<2> I'm sure its great for specialized tasks, like appliances, but for desktop use, it's not my cup of tea.
<1> well i usually reinstall from to time no need update world ,however everyone should use what fits his needs
<2> john1008: Correct! There is no "better" Linux, only what better suits the indeviduals needs.
<2> Slack and Gentoo are pointless to me.
<1> whatever \argue
<2> :)
<4> linux in general, is pointless! *duck*
<2> Coma: You're a duck?
<4> quack!
<2> me? I never even claimed to be a doctor!
<2> (hardy harr-harr)
<4> Must be weekend again
<2> It will be, shortly.
<2> I gotta come in friday, but I don't expect there to be much work. 11:00 to 13:00, maybe, probably less.
<4> No such thing for me. Weekend starts somewhere around 4pm and lasts until monday
<2> Grr... All Microsoft-stuff that estimates time should have "Estimated time remaining" replaced with "Wild guess at time remaining"
<2> "Estimated time remaining: 00:00:00" for 10 minutes
<4> A, microsoft timetravel(tm) at it again
<2> I can't wait to shut this crap down and go home
<2> What really bugs me about Estimated time remaining: 00:00:00" is that it will, eventually, be correct.
<1> lol
<2> A watch that is a bit slow is never correct. A stopped watch is correct twice a day...
<2> (digital watches need not apply)
<4> What if you keep traveling across timezones?
<2> If you time it correctly, then the stopped watch is also never correct.
<2> Gah, annual talk with $boss about me wanting more money than he can afford to pay.



<2> bbl
<5> it looks like we have a packed house as always :-)
<5> after installing XP (NTFS) on my primary HD and Fedora Core 5 on my secondary HD, I can boot to either, after changing the HD boot order in the BIOS; but I can't get GRUB to work completely; originally I installed Linux into the MBR; but, even though that OS installed on the secondary drive, the boot manager never showed up; it just boots to XP instead; so I ran "setup (hd1) (hd1,1) at the GRUB prompt (which it boots to on the seconda
<5> now when I boot to that GRUB prompt (after changing the BIOS HD boot order), it says that the root is really (hd0,1: Filesystem type is ext2fs, partition type is 0x83
<5> so I'm guessing that loading it into the MBR of XP failed; now I'm trying to set up a boot manager to choose OSs on the 2 HDs. Most say GRUB is the best; others prefer LILO; A friend says that there's GUI based boot managers available in tools on the desktop of the Linux OS; but when I boot to that drive it goes straight into GRUB; and then I have no clue how to get back out to the Linux/FC5 prompt so that I can run the startx command
<5> or whatever command will give me the GUI of FC5
<6> ?
<5> am i completely confusing alluring?
<5> or just confused
<5> :-)
<5> mornin paranomos
<6> uninterested
<7> Mornin yoda2
<7> I just installed ubuntu 5.10 and i am testing them.They seem really stable :)
<5> a lot of people seem 2 like that distro it seems
<5> everyone keeps telling me 2 use it instead of red hat's FC5
<7> i was using fedora core 3 before that but i find them more stable than fc
<5> I guess that I'm learning from the struggle of trying to boot FC5 with XP
<5> i believe that most employers want people w. RH experience because of the support of a large company like that though; so that's why I'm using it
<5> or trying to
<5> not really using it
<5> mornin toucan
<8> hi yoda2
<7> My opinion is if you know 1 linux distro you know them all :)
<5> yes but they don't ask u what u know; they ask u how much experience u have with X
<5> some people have told me that slackware is the best; and i don't even have a clue what that is
<7> I dont know i ve never tested them
<5> paranomos; do u know how to get from a GRUB prompt back to the FC5 prompt in FC5 if it boots into GRUB?
<5> i tried loading the kernel first and that didn't help
<5> after doing a chroot /mnt/sysimage
<7> I cant help you with that sorry
<5> NP
<5> do u use a boot manager?
<7> yes grub but it was installe by default with ubuntu
<5> thanks anyway; bbl
<9> .o
<9> hmm what the heck is +p ?
<1> p***word?
<10> somebody said p***word was fandu
<9> it wasnt +p before right?
<1> nope
<11> grr
<9> indeed
<9> I cant get convert or mogrify to work dammit
<11> php 4.4.2 is vulnerable and they dont have a new release out
<9> Redragon, 'service httpd stop' will fix it :)
<11> lol
<11> yea that makes the phone ring way to much
<9> now what about my imagemagick problem
<11> okay how are you trying to use convert and what error you getting?
<9> no error, the image just isnt showing the text I'm trying to put on
<9> mogrify -font @Arial.ttf -pointsize 18 -fill black -draw "text 100,100 '11111'" part1000000.jpg
<9> it alters the image as the timestamp changes, but cant find my text :(
<11> can you try a different color for the text, maybe its blending in with fill?
<11> themaxxz trying to track some help down :)
<11> well he hasn't used convert in ages either, no luck there
<11> since the image is being updated i'm guessing text is same color as background
<11> there someone that might be able to help with mogrify
<11> <9> no error, the image just isnt showing the text I'm trying to put on
<11> <9> mogrify -font @Arial.ttf -pointsize 18 -fill black -draw "text 100,100 '11111'" part1000000.jpg
<11> <9> it alters the image as the timestamp changes, but cant find my text :(
<11> thats what he said krewenki any thoughts?
<11> oh i hate php....uggg
<9> I know I had a working example before but I deleted it :(
<11> why they gotta say they put something in pecl repository but you can't find it there
<12> do you have to use mogrify?
<9> krewenki, nope
<12> convert has all kinds of text capabilities. (probably uses mogrify to get it done)
<9> yeah I tried convert as well though :)
<9> lets try again
<12> ok, one second, I have something written using convert *somewhere* around here
<9> ok convert works
<9> convert part1000000.jpg -font Arial.ttf -pointsize 32 -fill black -draw "text 100,100 '11111'" 1.jpg
