yeah, and if you are ssh'd in,, start it like this: ssh -C -X hostname.domain from your linux box.. then you can start mozilla and check it in a pretty gui :-) (the X in that ssh command means to forward X, so when you start mozilla, its display is forwarded to your ssh client..) very handy, you can run mandrakeupdate and stuff like that as well... until mandrake makes a robust console app for mandrakeupdate, I'll continue to do it this way. rgds Frank -Original Message- From: [EMAIL PROTECTED] [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED]]On Behalf Of Todd Lyons Sent: Tuesday, 26 November 2002 2:43 AM To: [EMAIL PROTECTED] Subject: Re: [expert] Baffled on permissions -BEGIN PGP SIGNED MESSAGE- Hash: SHA1 Norman wrote on Sat, Nov 23, 2002 at 01:43:07PM + : > > Unfortunately the school is 50 miles away so it would not > be easy to keep checking things although the IT people at > the school are so impressed with the robustness of this > PC compared to the Win box they used to use ( they said > it crashed at least once per day and sometimes more often) > that they have started to pick up some linux knowledge.

[expert] remote Cups printing via network
Here is another FYI: I set up CUPS service on a server running LM 9.0. The security level was "Standard". The CUPS admin on the client-side workstation saw the remote printer. All was ok. I could print from my workstation (LM 8.1) to the server-side remote printer via CUPS & my network. So, I decided to raise the security level of the server using the Mandrake Control Center (from Standard to Higher). All went ok for raising the security level! Then I tried printing to the remote server printer. The job would appear in the client-side CUPS WWW Admin page and then disappear as if being properly accepted by the remote server-side CUPS server. However, the server-side CUPS server never showed the print job. NADA, Zilch, zero! So, I lowered the server's security to "Standard" from "Higher" and the ability to remote print via CUPS resumed. I then tried a security level of "High". CUPS remote printing was ok. I then raised it to "Higher" again. CUPS remote printing was broken, again. According to the Mandrake Center, a security level of "Higher" is best for servers. I found that a very high security level BREAKS CUPS remote (via network) printing. So, a compromise is in order Anyhow, I just wanted to share this item with everyone. Want to buy your Pack or Services from MandrakeSoft? Go to http://www.mandrakestore.com

um don't forget /etc/urpmi/urpmi.cfg .. need to remove the
entries there or you will keep getting errors about not being able to
find disks when you are doing searches. best method
man urpmi.removemedia
HOWEVER whatever you do do not ... repeat do not ,type
urpmi.removemedia and hit return (without any args)... this is a lot
like typing rm -Rf * you never know what you will lose.

Re: [expert] Does cooker 9.1 correct i845(x) IDE problems?
i845 being intel's latest chipset is part of the problem. It's causing problems I'm told with WinXP for some as well. I do remember some discussion on the cooker list about the time it got unfrozen (from the 9.0 release.) on this and the discussion may have been taken offlist. (however with as busy as that list is... they could still be discussing it and I'd miss it :) ) But there might be something there.. I've also seen some stuff in the kernel mailing list.

Well... if I don't give a name, it complains about 8.2:
# urpmi.removemedia
unable to take medium "Updates for Mandrake Linux 8.2 (ftp1u)" into
account as no list file [/var/lib/urpmi/list.Updates for Mandrake Linux

the entry to remove is missing

One thing about urpmi that doesn't thrill me is that its configuration
is split between /etc/urpmi and /var/lib/urpmi and it's consequently
fairly difficult to configure without using a tool. If you look around
in /var/lib/urpmi you'll find that it has information about the contents
of the disks there, which is why you really should just delete the
entries for the 8.2 disks.

Shouldn't that have been done by 9.0...? I've always done "rpm -ivh"
installs in the past... thought I'd try the other tools; but MCC gave me
grief, and now urpmi...
My point is that with 9.0, Mandrake seems to be paying less attention to
those little details that will tick off the new users they're trying to
attract. Don't get me wrong; I'm a strong Mandrake supporter; but at
least one release in every major release (since 6.x) are less new user
friendly than the others. Hope 9.0 is the only one in the 9.x series...

Re: [expert] gcc that can't build executables?
Nailed it... had to re-install rpms for gcc and poof it re-appeared in working form (yes I could manually find g++ but it wasn't working right for reasons beyond me.) So anjunta 1.0.0 built. Oh and my original problem was with 0.9.99 ... that one still gives the same error. I'm putting it down to a bad build on their part and moving one thanks all for the help.

It's not a cooker issue it's a kernel issue. Ask the kernel boys if they know about the problem, if there is a possible solution, and if so, where can it be obtained. You can try posting this to the cooker list, however I don't think you're going to get alot of response.

Re: [expert] crossover plugin
Hi, For me every thing works fine. In principle when you install "crossover", a directory called "plugins" is automatically created in "~/.mozilla" or "~/.netscape" directory (it depends on the browser you installed). As your installation is done as root therefore this "plugins" directory is installed as "/root/.mozilla/plugins" (or in ~/.netscape). Once these things verified, copy that directory (I mean "/root/.mozilla/plugins") to any normal user home directory. Now, every thing should go all right.

Now I'm researching this on google now.. and there are netmeeting howtoos available, but I thought I'd ask here before I go looking into generic solutions, as if there is an easy way on mandrake9.0 and I don't use it.. I'll kick myself later.
