Suse 9.1 Personal. and rpm/apt

[SoulNothing 0]

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

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.

here is the gnome build dependencies list.

alot of makes and ./configures

i got an issue with signing with the packages and am unsure of how to fixt this

 

this is what i get when i type

sudo apt-get install synaptic

 

Checking GPG signatures...

Unsigned /var/cache/apt/archives/xmlcharent_0.3-250.4_noarch.rpm: sha1 md5 OK

Unsigned /var/cache/apt/archives/docbook%5f4_4.3-0.1_noarch.rpm: sha1 md5 OK

Unknown signature /var/cache/apt/archives/synaptic_0.55-0.0.suse091.rb.0_i586.rpm: (SHA1) DSA sha1 md5 (GPG) NOT OK (MISSING KEYS: GPG#8c9b4b0d)

E: Error(s) while checking package signatures:

2 unsigned package(s)

1 package(s) with unknown signatures

0 package(s) with illegal/corrupted signatures

 

i did gpg but am unsure if i did it right any help would be appreciated

Hi soulNOTHING, Im running into this problem right now. With RH/Fedora you could turn this off, there is a risk but I did it a long time with RH/Fedora and had no problems. Did you ever get this solved? I'm trying to install bittorrent-gui...

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?
