is a very sophisticated toolkit that provides everything that is needed to build a modern user interface. is written in C++, thus allowing object-oriented development which ensures efficiency and code reuse in a project the size and scope of . In our opinion there is no better toolkit available for systems and that it would have been a grave mistake to try to build on anything but the best.
There are a number of toolkits available. To provide a consistent user interface and to keep used resources such as memory to a minimum, can use only one of them. was selected for the reasons mentioned above.
It is! As of September 4, 2000, version 2.2 of the libraries were licensed under the GPL, thereby fulfilling all aspects of "free software".
To mount your CD-ROM drive, first, you (as root) need to add the following line to /etc/fstab:
/dev/cdrom /cdrom iso9660 ro,user,noauto,unhide |
Please make sure that you have a soft link from /dev/cdrom to whatever /dev/hd? your CD-ROM drive is (assuming you are using an CD-ROM drive). You should see something like this when you ls -l /dev/cdrom:
lrwxrwxrwx 1 root root 8 Jul 28 22:21 /dev/cdrom -> /dev/hdb |
The above would be done with ln -s /dev/hdb /dev/cdrom (as root). Last but not least, make sure a valid mount point exists for the CD-ROM drive to be mounted on, for example:
% ls -la /cdrom total 2 drwxrwsr-x 2 root cdrom 1024 Sep 14 1995 ./ drwxr-xr-x 24 root root 1024 Dec 1 21:00 ../ |
Now you can mount it from the command prompt by typing mount /cdrom. Or if you prefer, create a device link to your CD-ROM drive and place it on your desktop. Clicking on it will automatically mount the drive for you. Okay, concerning the question of how to make a device link to your CD-ROM drive, please look to the User Guide for the answers.
More information on mounting filesystems can be found by running man fstab and man mount respectively.
Yes and no. has the ability to simulate transparency by redrawing the background of the window inside the window. This gives the illusion of transparency, but if you place on top of another window, the transparency is lost. Eterm should work fine under if you desire more complete transparency.
13.6. Is there a way to get various kinds of information about my drive contents: free space, directory size, etc.?
The control panel will let you look at each drive and will give you information concerning free space, space used, etc. To determine how large a single directory is, you should use the du command. Details about its usage can be found by typing man du at a command prompt. If you just want to know how much space the directory takes up, simply type du -h directory).
Try running xmodmap -e 'keycode 22 = BackSpace' and see if that fixes it (applications will have to be restarted for that to take effect). You should be able to just stick that into your X startup files like .xinitrc.
Or simply upgrade to XFree86-3.3.3.1-1 and above.
 | Also, concerning the -Bug (Bug number: kb704): the bug is fixed somehow by putting the following line into $HOME/.xinitrc:
|
13.8. How do I create icons for non- applications that I can put in the K menu? Where do these icons (or kdelnk) go?
Create using your favorite image manipulator, for example, GIMP, and put them in $KDEDIR/share/icons(/mini) or $HOME/.kde/share/icons(/mini). By the way, The Icon Editor is being developed by the team. More information can be found at http://w1.1358.telia.com/~u135800018/prog.html#KICONEDIT.
Yes, and in 1.x it is none other than your favorite file manager, ! You can drag and drop remote files into local directories. There is also a utility called KGet that allows resuming and queueing, but you need to use it in combination with (you can drag-n-drop into KGet but cannot use it to browse servers).
For 2, please use instead.
Simply click on the K button and select Logout. In addition, if you right click on an empty area of the desktop, you will be presented with a menu containing logout as one of the options.
| will also do the trick by killing the X server, but its use prevents session management. |
Either or will do the job. If you are not connected, they will just sit there (idling).
Not really. If you are happy with your right now, there is absolutly no reason to change. If, however, you want a more polished environment, an increase in speed and the number of features, then you should upgrade.
The simplest method is to use your mouse:
Highlight the text you want to copy by holding down the left mouse button and dragging across the text.
Go to the destination area; depending on your configuration, you might need to click it using the left mouse button to give it focus.
Click the to paste. If you have a two button mouse and are emulating a three button mouse, push both buttons simultaneously.
Click on the K button and select System->Appfinder.
It stands for Concurrent Versions System. It is a version control system and is based on RCS (Revision Control System), but offers more functionality. It is used to maintain source code under development. It will keep multiple versions of things (handy if you broke something and have to back up and get a clean old version), and allows people remote access over the Net to pick up the latest source code and even to check in new stuff if they have permission. It is also open source (you pay for support if you want it), and since it is free it is the system of choice for people writing more free products, such as .
You need to have the a multi-headed X server (e.g. MetroX or XFree86 4.0 and above) and a window manager that understands multi-headed display (e.g. ).
Fire up your Control Center. If there is no mention of a version on the first screen, you have version 1.0 (and it is time to upgrade!).
You can use the libraries to write "commercial and closed source" as well as "commercial and open source" software. If you write open source software you can use the free edition. But if you write closed source software you may not use the free edition; you'd have to obtain the professional edition from Troll Tech.
If you want more information, please contact Troll Tech directly.
13.20. Why does Control Center report my version as 2.0pre even though I have downloaded the newest version?
It is a bug and has since been fixed in the CVS.

Yes. But future versions of LyX will be independent. Check the progress of the various frontends here.
