Re: [expert] arts constantly dies now after I updated
Well - I went to the arts webpage and grabbed the newest snapshot, takes longer to compile than I thought but it compiled clean, installed and we'll see how well it works - it's been working now for a few mins if this clears it up I'll let you know. I left the newest arts mdk rpm's in place so I'd have all the kde gui add on stuff and just did a pretty generic install: ./configure --prefix=/usr make make install so it replaced anything that was in there from the rpm's. logged out of kde and back in and works good so far.

Re: [expert] Orinoco WaveLan solved
all one has to do to get the wavelan card working with mandrake 7.2 is to add eth=1 to the opts in /etc/pcmcia/config.opts. The problem is that setting up networking with linuxconf or draknet associates the device eth0 with wvaln_cs in /etc/modules.conf when wvlan_cs actually brings up the device as wvlan0. So by setting eth=1 in config.opts it brings up your wireless card as ethX and everything is fine.

[expert] Re: Menus under 7.1 (was KDE problems)
kmenuedit is there, you can run it from konsole. It's probably disabled for a
purpose, don't waste your time editing the kmenu, your changes won't be
saved, the new menu package included with 7.1 now synronizes all menu's from
a common place, and it's not the kde menu. If you change any menu in any WM
and reboot your computer your changes will be lost.
read /usr/doc/menu-[something]
you must edit your menu's in the /etc/menu directory by creating a file for
each application you want to add to the menu.
here's mine for licq: ("licq" is the filename)
?package(local.licq):needs=x11 section="Networking/ICQ" title="LICQ"
command="licq" icon="/usr/share/icons/icq.xpm"
and for gcombust: (gcombust is the filename here)
?package(gcombust):needs=x11 section="Applications/Archiving/Cd burning"
title="gcombust" command="kdesu -c gcombust"
icon=/usr/share/icons/cdwriter_unmount.xpm
The filename doesn't matter, the package does. If the package you installed
is not an RPM, as is the case of my licq installation you must have the word
"local" in your package name as I do. If not when menu updates your menu's it
will look in the rpm database and see that licq is not installed, and will
remove it from your menu. Gcombust is installed as an rpm, so the package
name should be the real package/program name.

Set it up as a BJ-10e under linux to print, I have one right here I am using. Vincent Danen wrote: I've got the Canon MultiPASS fax/scanner/printer/copier/etc. "device" over here... picked it up yesterday for a really good price. It apparently supports only Win95/98 but I'm assuming that's the extra features like FAXing from the PC, etc. I just need it to print under Linux (none of the extra features). Has anyone had experience with these 6-in-1 deals before? The manual doesn't say anything about print compatability with other OS's, so I'm not sure... I figure I'd test it out, I'm *assuming* that it's similar to a Canon Bubble Jet as far as the printing goes. My question is, is it safe to change the printer type and just test a bunch of them out to see how it works? It wouldn't damage my printer at all, would it? I'm assuming the worst that can happen is it either won't print or it'll look all crappy-like, but I want to make sure. Also, is there a way to change the printer type? The Printer Setup in DrakConf doesn't do it... would I use something like printtool? -- Vincent Danen, ICQ: 54924721 . telnet://bbs.freezer-burn.org BBBS/LiI . Internet Rex for Linux Beta .

Re: [expert] LICQ broke with 7 (AIR)?
Grab the qt2-devel and qt-2 rpm's from redhat 6.1! rpm -ivh (not -Uvh, or you'll wipe out qt 1.44!, you don't want that) when you ./configure the licq qt-gui do this ./configure --with-x --with-qt-includes=/usr/lib/qt-2.0.1/include/ --with-qt-libraries=/usr/lib/qt-2.0.1/lib/ That will get you going pretty quick and painless.

The problem you are getting is cause LICQ is finding 1.x versions of QT instead of 2.x hence the undefined symbols. So you have to contain 2.x by itself, I am sure there is mandrake way to do it, I just did it the easiest I could think of. Hope this helps Yeah, I figured that out after I poked around for a bit last night, and installed qt the old fashioned way too, Thanks anyway though ;-) -- [EMAIL PROTECTED] ICQ 1796276 I've grabbed the qt2 tarball from troll.no and I've run into a fustercluck of bugs in the code.

[expert] Question for C/C++ programmers
Once upon a time, I programmed the Amiga in C. Today I would like to be able to code C on linux. The basic stdout stuff is easy, but I want to know what references I should buy for understanding the system calls and programming X/GTK/QT and device programming. Eventually I would like to understand linux well enough to do things like write device drivers for the kernel, etc. What books are reccomended by the experts? -- I pledge allegiance to the penguin of the united OS of Linux and to the republic for which it stands one community, under control with liberation from Microsoft and source code for all. -- [EMAIL PROTECTED] ICQ 1796276
[expert] POSTFIX (virtual domains/aliases)
I am trying to figure out how to use postfix effectively, for the short I am reading documentation now, maybe I'll figure out before I get a response, but I need to set this up quick. I need to know how to get postfix to accept mail for a domain and alias it to another address. I don't really care to have virtual mailboxes, just accept mail for [EMAIL PROTECTED] and alias it to [EMAIL PROTECTED] Thanks in advance. -- I pledge allegiance to the penguin of the united OS of Linux and to the republic for which it stands one community, in control with liberation from Microsoft and source code for all. -- [EMAIL PROTECTED] ICQ 1796276
