kamicota Posted February 29, 2004 Share Posted February 29, 2004 Thanx Julia Didn't GET to the "Vanilla Mode" with Suse 9.0 even after choosing my Monitor as a Daytek.OOPS it's the nVidia thats the problem NOT the Monitor.Think before I venture TOO far from Xandros will need to find a nVidia FRIENDLY Distro.Colin Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bruno Posted February 29, 2004 Share Posted February 29, 2004 Hi ColinHow come you had no problem with nVidia in SUSE 8.2 . . . . and now suddenly in SUSE 9.0 you have ?? Does not make sense . . . As long as the "real" nVidia drivers are not installed it should use generic ones . . Bruno Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
b2cm Posted February 29, 2004 Share Posted February 29, 2004 There are Nvidia video drivers that you can download at support.xandros.com (also SiS, S3, i830). They are deb packages. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kamicota Posted February 29, 2004 Share Posted February 29, 2004 Hi all again Suse changed what ever after Suse 8.2 don't know what but they did.On a LIGHTER not downloaded Gimp-1.2.5 tar.gz went throough the steps for install like with 2.0And even did the cd gimpls./configure and GTK failed searched the cds several gtk's any idea which one to install to go at it againColin Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bruno Posted February 29, 2004 Share Posted February 29, 2004 Hi ColinLet us first focus on your SUSE install in the other thread . . .we can come back to The Gimp later . . . one thing at a time ;) Bruno Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
havnblast Posted March 1, 2004 Author Share Posted March 1, 2004 Yeah Julia Looks like it and a trip to Nvidia to see about there Linux Drivers.But unlike me I wrote down the site Suse shows a HOWTO for NVidia but don't know if I'm Game for that right nowStill got the C80 to set up now that it's nearly wiped clean (THANK  you JOYCE It needed your personal touch this morning)So where to from here I hope  can only be UPColin I downloaded the drivers for Xandros, but there is noway to kill X as far as I know Cntl- Alt-F1 just takes you out of the gui but still leaves it running. I was able to do it once and I can't remember how I did it - cause I would like to install the nvidia drivers for 2.6, I got the prior version.I even posted on the Xandros forum on how to kill X and nothing --- I have no idea Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Assuming that you want it for "Xandros 2.0".BTW, when I installed "Xandros 2.0", the "nVidia drivers" were installed...don't you get the "nVidia splash screen" when you first boot up?

kamicota Posted March 1, 2004 Share Posted March 1, 2004 Hi Quint thanx Believe I installed Gimp 1.2.3 from Xandros networks BUT the Gimp 1.2.5 looked a new breed and Intrigued me as much as the Gimp 2.0 developers.One of my flaws seems to want to upgrade before I become familiar with the last version of any software Thankx again Quint Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SonicDragon Posted March 1, 2004 Share Posted March 1, 2004 One of my flaws seems to want to upgrade before I become familiar with the last version of any softwareI'm the same way.

tranquilo Posted March 3, 2004 Share Posted March 3, 2004 The quote is quint successfully upgrading the gimp from a console.From the rpm man page, these are the three options used: rpm {-U|--upgrade} [install-options] PACKAGE_FILE ... This upgrades or installs the package currently installed to a newer version. This is the same as install, except all other version(s) of the package are removed after the new package is installed. -v Print verbose information - normally routine progress messages will be displayed. -h, --hash Print 50 hash marks as the package archive is unpacked. Use with -v|--verbose for a nicer dis- play.hthtranquilo Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

tranquilo Posted March 3, 2004 Share Posted March 3, 2004 I haven't used YAST, nor have I used an rpm based distro in over a year. However, you should be able to install the gimp, using the same (or similar) options as quint.hthtranquilo Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
