SoulNothing 0 Posted November 3, 2004 the main gist of this is can suse 9.1 personal support apt and synaptic prefaberly while yast is good i miss synaptic and apt. I just installed suse about 20 minutes ago so im still exploring, but of course i have a few more questions does suse have prebuilt i686 optimized kernels The reason im looking for synaptic is gnome. i really dislike kde and mostly use xfce or gnome or fluxbox and i wanted to get gnome on here prefably 2.6 or 2.8 also how hard is it to compile gnome from scratch through the command line?? but of course i have a few more questions does suse have prebuilt i686 optimized kernels thanks in advance Share this post Link to post
egorgry 0 Posted November 3, 2004 as far as building gnome from tarballs it's a pain in the arse and it may kill you. The best part is when you think you are all done and it's all broke and acting funky. Here is a great project called garnome it's scripts that build gnome from tarballs for you, it's brilliant. http://cipherfunk.org/garnome/ here is the gnome build dependencies list. http://www.gnome.org/start/2.8/notes/rninstallation.html alot of makes and ./configures Share this post Link to post

BioMage 0 Posted January 20, 2005 Hi, looking for some of my own answers when i read this post. I was able to get apt, and synaptic to work in SuSE 9.1. I installed apt via YaST from an RPM i grabbed off (unfortunately you will have to resolve all the dependencies manually this one last time...)I had no luck with apt-get'ing synaptic, even when ignoring the GPG signiture check <apt-get -o GPG::Check=false install synaptic> package installed, but was broken. Uninstalled RPM, then I downloaded and compiled the source, and using the errors from the MULTIPLE ./configure attempts filled in the missing peices. Hope this helps, and isn't the MOST retarded way to do this. I am learning as I go Oh. My issue: anybody know how to tell synaptic to ignore missing signitures like you can with apt-get?
