Re: [newbie] Accessing Postgresql
Well, I made some progress over the weekend. I realised I didn't have all the postgesql components loaded, incuding the docs, so I got them loaded. That put pgaccess onto the KDE menu. But pgaccess doesn't work so I suspect I still need to do some work with postgresql user accounts and stuff. I still haven't figured out this postgresql userid and passwords stuff yet. Still waiting for the penny to drop. Also got webmin working but in trying to get postresql userids and passwords sorted out there I stuffed something up. Ahh I'll keep at it thou. Gordon. MD9.0 So some progress but then some more hurdles to conquer Colin Jenkins [EMAIL PROTECTED] 5/12/02 14:44:36 Hello Gordon, Thursday, December 5, 2002, 9:47:35 AM, you wrote: GB OK, GB I installed Webmin last night and (logged in as me) I typed in https://localhost:1/.

Open up your fave browser, and put in: https://localhost:1/ That opens up Webmin - and you can administer, modify, and do all the SQL stuff you like with either Postgresql or MySQL...easy as a meat pie mate!

[newbie] Accessing Postgresql

Re: [newbie] Mouse problems at boot
Steve, Are you saying I should try disabling the PNP in the BIOS? I'll try it and see how it goes. Yes the mouse is plugged into a PS2 port. Thanks!

Cheers, Gordon Hoabrt Tasmania There is a known issue with mice in the extreme southern hemisphere.

I'm assuming that you're plugging into a PS/2 mouse port, correct? If you have the BIOS set for PNP OS's, you might be getting the intermittent problems from that - miscommunication through the port... -- Thu Nov 28 14:55:01 EST 2002 .o0 linux user:267497 0o. |____ | kühn media australia | / \ /| |'-. | http://kma.0catch.com | .\__/ || | | | | _ / `._ \|_|_.-' | stephen kühn | | / \__.`=._) (_ | email: [EMAIL PROTECTED] | |/ ._/ || | email: [EMAIL PROTECTED] | |'. `\ | | |icq: 5483808 | ;/ / | | | | smk ) /_/| |.---.| | mobile: 0410-728-389 | ' `-`' | Berkeley, New South Wales, AU Coralament*Best Grötens*Liebe Grüße*Best Regards*Elkorajn Salutojn The little town that time forgot, Where all the women are strong, The men are good-looking, And the children above-average. -- Prairie Home Companion This transmission is intended solely for the person or organisation to whom it is addressed.

[newbie] Mouse problems at boot
G'day all, I've just got a new P4 box at home, and successfully loaded xp and mandrake 9 onto it. I'm a long-time windows user, but this is my first exposure to linux/mandrake. I have a 2-button ps-2 mouse installed. The machine is developing the habit of sometimes not recognising the mouse when I boot up. This can happen either when I boot into xp or into Mandrake. The mouse just won't work. As I say, it's an intermittent problem. Doesn't happen all the time. I'm pretty confident that the mouse is OK, but will test it anyway. What other possible causes might there be?? Cheers, Gordon Hoabrt Tasmania PS. I changed the lilo.conf so that it boots into xp by default now. A liittle help ( and better understanding) goes a long way! Thanks. This transmission is intended solely for the person or organisation to whom it is addressed.
