BOY Julia you LOVE throwing CURVE Balls at me :w00t: How do I UPDATE MENUS o:) o:) Colin :)

Posted

I have to think since I am at work and have no Linux. You can try update-menus from the command prompt or go into your commands for Yast and look around for it.Julia o:)

Posted

No success in finding commands to update menus, update_menus, update_ start applicationsOh well the plot thickens on the Suse 8.2 trail just "Gimping" :w00t: along aren't we o:) o:) :) Colin :)

Posted

Colin,First off - YAST does not like my system...at all!!! :) I do all updates, etc., from the "konsole"; which is why I put the process in the "Quote"...(thanks Tranquilo, for informing). Julia's advice to use "YAST" is the best course...but I don't understand why you had a problem. o:) I had "Gimp 1.2.3" installed, used the konsole to install (update) it to "Gimp 1.3.19"...took mere seconds, and it also automatically "updates the menu", for the "Gimp" selection...couldn't be easier. o:) BTW, I also had a "Gimp 1.2.3" icon on the taskbar, and it, too, opens the new version. HTH's somehow. :w00t:

HTH thankx o:) What commands do I put in the console to update to 1.3 etcColin

HTH thankx  :thumbsup: What commands do I put in the console to update to 1.3 etcColin
Colin, The explanation of what I did is in Tranquilo's post:
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 installedto a newer version. This is the same as install, exceptall other version(s) of the package are removed after thenew package is installed.-v Print verbose information - normally routineprogress messages will be displayed.-h, --hashPrint 50 hash marks as the package archive isunpacked. Use with -v|--verbose for a nicer dis-play.hthtranquilo
Good fortune...try Julia's advice first. ;)

Colin,This is all you have to do: (open a "konsole" and goto the directory where you downloaded the "gimp" file...then:)

kamicota@linux:$ sukamicota@linux:$ (enter your password)kamicota@linux:# rpm -Uvh gimp-1.3.19-SuSE.ulb.1.i586.rpm ("space" between rpm and -Uvh and gimp-1.3.19-SuSE.ulb.1.i586.rpm)
Good fortune. :thumbsup:

Hi Quint :o Another trek in the Forest of Trees :thumbsup: kamicota@linux:~> cd gimpkamicota@linux:~/gimp> suPassword:linux:/home/kamicota/gimp # rpm -Uvh gimp-1.3.19-SuSE.ulb.1.i586.rpmerror: failed dependencies: libgimp-1.2.so.0 is needed by sane-1.0.10-36linux:/home/kamicota/gimp #Now have to install the libgimp wherever it is on the Install Cd eh???Colin ;)

Hi Colin,That file should be provided by "Gimp 1.2.3"...do you have it installed? :thumbsup:

Posted

As Far as I know QuintI installed it with the Suse 8.2 install BUT OOPS may have erased it with the conflict when I was upgrading to Gimp 1.2.5 Guess I'm at a Stalemate againColin :thumbsup:

Posted

Perhaps you can try "re-installing" it? If it's already installed, YAST or konsole will let you know. :thumbsup:

Posted

Well Quint :thumbsup: ;) :o Surprise Surprise Yast reinstalled it gimp-1.2.3-360-i586So the procedure now isColin

Tried the cd gimp, su etc and still needing that sane lib package :thumbsup: Colin

Not at all, Colin...I enjoy Linux, and want to learn as much as possible...I just wish I could be of more help to you. :o Especially when I find this on my system:

Your version of sane requires libgimp-1.2.so.0 which is provided by gimp-1.2.3. gimp-1.3 includes libgimp-1.3.so.19.quint,keep in mind that libgimp-1.2.so.0 and libgimp-1.3.so.19 are symbolic links, pointing to libgimp-1.2.so.0.0.3 and libgimp-1.3.so.19.0.0, respectively.libgimp-1.2.so.0 -> libgimp-1.2.so.0.0.3libgimp-1.3.so.19 -> libgimp-1.3.so.19.0.0hthtranquilo

Thanks, Tranquilo...I was wondering where they went. :rolleyes: Still wish I had some definite help for Colin. :(

A simple way to check what you have installed is:rpm -qa | grep some_filename_hererpm -qa | grep libgimprpm -qa | grep gimprpm -qa | grep saneOf course, I suppose you could use YAST but I know nothing about it since I am not a suse user... ;)hthtranquilo

I GIVE up ;) :huh: I THINKSomewhere in all this there is a bigger lesson for me to swallow the pride and just play with what I HAVE installed and probably go back in the posts find what it is that was deleted & see if they can be restored or something along those lines :blink: :ermm: :'( :lol: Quint :( Tranquillo :rolleyes: I have had another exciting ride into the linux Console :( Colin :D
