[expert] GNOME, PPP, and modemlights_applet

1999-07-31 Thread Al Niessner


Kernel: 2.2.9-27mdk
GNOME: 1.0.4-7mdk

I am running PPP using ppp0 and modemlights_applet does not work -- no
blinking lights.  I cannot find any help on it -- netscape reports that
it is not in /usr/share/gnome/help/modemlights_applet/...

So, how do I get it to work?  The properties for the applet on my panel
correctly tell it to monitor ppp0.  What else is there?  It has access
to /dev/modem -- at least I do so it should.

Thanks for all help in advance.

[expert] updates to GNOME?

1999-07-31 Thread Al Niessner


If anyone at Mandrake is reading this group, when are the updates to
GNOME going to be ready?  The GNOME site is up to 1.0.7 and you are
shiping with 1.0.4-7.  Please let me know so I can decide if I want to
build the RPM myself or wait.

Hmm. I though all the /dev/hd*'s were supposed to be chmod 660. At any
rate, if you can't even chmod, you're not working as root. And if you
are... Heaven help your file system.

[expert] GCC 2.95

1999-07-31 Thread Sheldon Lee Wen

Hi,

   How difficult would it be, and wat problems would it cause to update
the pgcc to the new gcc2.95 I'm really looking forward to using the new gjc
front end and improved c++ features but I don't want to break my compiler and
libs. Also, will we see a mandrake rpm for it?

Sheldon.

well ls -lai /dev/hdc returns

It seems to exist - just that the kernel doesn't recognise it. Chmod 
has no effect on recognising it either.
