However the supplier doesn't know if it's Linux compatible and the Hewlet Packard site doesn't help either. Comments and advice sought ! Thanks in advance. -- Best Regards: Baron

If it uses proprietary drivers, uninstall and reinstall. I have the same printer, sometimes farts up and need to do the above. Kate

compilation errors with clang

by Oleg Levenets

Hi, maybe someone can help? I decided to create a git-version of trinity for my slackware, but several packages do not want to be compiled. First package k9copy: ../../libk9copy/k9config.cpp:82:72: [0;1;31merror: taking the address of a temporary object of type 'TQColor' [-Waddress-of-temporary] ...&TQColor(TQt::yellow)); [0;1;32m ^~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ ../../libk9copy/k9config.cpp:83:68: [0;1;31merror: taking the address of a temporary object of type 'TQColor' [-Waddress-of-temporary] ...&TQColor(TQt::yellow)); Second soundkoverter: In file included from ../../../../src/metadata/rmff/taglib_realmediafile.cpp:37: ../../../../src/metadata/rmff/rmff.h:253:21: error: cannot define or redeclare ' 'RealMedia' does not enclose namespace 'TagLib' class TagLib::AudioProperties; these packages are normally compiled with gcc, but do not want to work with clang. I will be grateful for help in solving the problem! best regards, Oleg Levenets.

Disabling USB hard drive auto mount

by Kate Draven

Hi people (and others) I'm having a lot of trouble figuring out how to disable the auto mount function for usb hard drives. Every time I connect a HD via a usb HD dock. It auto mounts the drive. Is there anyway to stop this? I think it's udisksd or something. Google was useless regarding how to disable it. I'm asking PCLinuxOS people but I expect I'll get an answer here faster. Any help would be greatly appreciated. Kate

why consolekit & policykit & elogind?

by Dr. Nikolaus Klepp

Hi all! This question might be a bit OT (and probably totally useless for the systemd-fraction), but ... what is the purpose of need consolekit & policykit & elogind ? I observed consolekit creating hordes of children, resulting in ~ 5% cpu usage. I deleted consolekit & policykit & elogind, restarted the system and found everything still working perfectly. So, what are these good for? Is TDE depending on these in any way? Nik -- Please do not email me anything that you are not comfortable also sharing with the NSA, CIA ...

But it's KDE's (now TDE) power that keeps me to distros that run it. Honestly if TDE were on slackware, that's where I'd go. Me next choice would be Debian were it not for systemD, I don't trust it (gut feeling). Then any RPM distro like pclos. The only problem I'm having with pclos is this automount thing. I have been able to confirm it's udisks2 that's automounting the drives. No matter what setting I use. With all that being said. I truly appreciate all the input (INPUT! points to anyone who can name the film). Keep it coming. Kate

Slightly OT: The Thompson-Davis Editor

by Leslie Turriff

I'm using the source code for the open-source Thompson-Davis Editor <http://adoxa.altervista.org/tde/>, "a simple, public domain, multi-file, multi-window binary and text file editor written for IBM PCs and close compatibles running DOS, Win32 (console) or Linux" to learn C and curses programming. You may have noticed its coincidental acronym :-) and yes, it stores it's configuration information in $TDEHOME. TDE is small but non-trivial, and I think it will be a good resource for someone like me, who is attempting to get a grip on programming in the *nix environment; it's not so big as to be overwhelming, yet not as useless as HelloWorld.c. Thoughts? Leslie

I'll check into this. I didn't check each section. There may be more to review than I initially thought. Thanks Greg, Kate
