Re: [expert] Upgradeing KDE to 2.2 problems
Hi Leo, Thank for the advice - I am having a go at upgradine 8.0 to the latest KDE, but to be honest I expect the same sort of problems. Time will tell. 8.1 is not logn now anyway, just wanted to get a head start is all. Thanks again for the help lhon wrote: Dear Stephen, I suggest you upgrade to 2.1.x kde version. That is easier to handle. From release 7.0, I never upgrade gnome or kde success. Too many dependencies problems together with other packages (software) problems. Just because mandrake does not provide their own kde new versions(I cannot find in their web site, see if any tricky), like SuSE, Slackware, (redhat sometime provide but just install kde new version download from kde ftp site 99% work but the download version from kde ftp site broken the gnome in Redhat 7.1), so suggest not upgrade if not a advanced user of Linux or Mandrake. If you buy Mandrake package, summit the serial number and get Mandrake is a better way. Also some software need newer rpm version to install, take care. Don't try to upgrade other software from Mandrake cooker but you can download Mandrake Cooker iso to burn a cd then just install the cooker version, it is work and contain many new version software, kernel, ...etc. Until now (over one year) I cannot find any document outline about new version of kde installation problems in Mandrake (gnome too). But other then upgrade new software, Mandrake is the nicest Linux for common user. Easy install and use. But just the administration of the system is not quite good. The new beta version 8.1 contain many gui interface to configure the system, But I want to point out that gui user interface contain many weak points in doing things in a operating system, many mature Unix version also have many problems in gui user interface. But rare people like command line. So mac and pc attract people, this is a rule. Every people from the beginning in the world govern by this rule. The definition of the rule is : Every people in the world like easy, pretty and usable things BUT does not like to give time to work hard and Thinking, this doesn't mean people are lazy. Every people in the world from the beginning is that. But if a software/hardware or other products (TV, mobile phone, ...) need too much time to learn to use, need to think too much time to use every time, who buy it ? Much people say balance, but until now no one success for a few hundred of years. Each Linux(Unix) version contain strong points and weak points. I personally like Mandrake, SuSE, Slackware, Redhat, Debian, ...etc and FreeBSDs. Also some other distribution (you can find many in www.linux.org, lwn.net, ...) are very good choose.

I had it working, then I upgraded to 1.1.10, and now it doesn't even print if I downgrade back to 1.1.9. This sort of thing always makes me long for a program that does the same thing under Linux as GoBack does under Windows. (I.e., it allows you to restore the entire state of the disk back to the way it was sometime earlier, recover deleted/changed files, etc.) When I first heard the term disk journaling I thought, Yay! GoBack at last, but it turns out that the term doesn't seem to mean what I thought it did. Every few months I go looking to see if there's a GoBack-like program available for Linux yet (whether GPL or $-ware), but I've never come across so much as a hint of one. It seems odd (to me) that a system for which the sources are available does not have a program like this. Does anyone know of any person/group/company who is working on one? Or is there some completely fundamental reason why such a program could not possibly be written for Linux (seems unlikely, given that the kernel could be patched if necessary, but one never knows).

[expert] Linux and DVI (Digital Video Interface)
Does anyone know whether Linux (or, more properly, X) has drivers to drive DVI (Digital Video Interface) cards? We need to hook up a number of LCD monitors, one at a time, to a PC running Mdk 7.2 (could upgrade to 8.0) via a DVI adaptor for some perceptual experiments in the lab. The problem is that I'm not sure about drivers for the DVI card that drives the LCD unit under test. My colleague, who is doing the experiments, has a Matrox G400 video card in his (M$) PC. It has a daughter card that has a DVI port on it which comes out the back at an adjacent card location. Perhaps it is only necessary to drive the Matrox directly as a video card and _it_ (the Matrox) does the conversion to PCI. I don't know. If anyone uses DVI or knows the situation in general, I'd appreciate it if you'd pipe up. Thanks. Dean S. Messing Information Systems Technologies Dept.

Re: [expert] Cable modem
You guys won't believe this. After trying to get the cable modem going for about two weeks, I decided to re-install LM8.0 and take notes of what was happening when it loaded the ethernet card. Well, nothing unusual happened when I was installing. After it installed, I set up the sound card and then the modem. First I tried the sound card, and it worked. I wasn't overly impressed because this had happened before. Then I tried the modem and lo and behold, I connected to the Internet. I was somewhat happy at this turn of events. I really don't know why it worked this time and not all the other times. Needless to say, I'm very happy. I'd like to thank all those who helped me along the way.

Re: [expert] Aureal AU8830 Superquad

The patch can be obtained here: http://sourceforge.net/tracker/index.php?func=detailaid=407654group_id=810 9atid=308109 Once you untar and unzip the drivers, save the patch into the aureal directory under the name aureal.diff Then do 'patch -p1 aureal.diff' That will patch the source code.. Then do 'make' to compile Then do 'make install' to install the driver.. Its best to do this as root.. Thats all I had to do to get it to work..

GoBack at last, but it turns out that the term doesn't seem to mean what I thought it did. Every few months I go looking to see if there's a GoBack-like program available for Linux yet (whether GPL or $-ware), but I've never come across so much as a hint of one. It seems odd (to me) that a system for which the sources are available does not have a program like this. Does anyone know of any person/group/company who is working on one? Or is there some completely fundamental reason why such a program could not possibly be written for Linux (seems unlikely, given that the kernel could be patched if necessary, but one never knows). And I apologise if people perceive this to be somewhat off-topic.

You see, if you set up your configuration files as a CVS repository and run CVS client and server on your machine and checkout daily, even through a cron job, you have a history that provides _multiple_ gobacks. Or a cron job that tar's certain config files daily for a week back and monthly for a year back could be set up and a script to recover could be tied to a desktop icon.

Sometimes during download of large files they may corrupt, reason why the md5sums do not match, but instead of downloading the full iso file, using rsync you can download just the part (bits-or-bytes) missing from the iso. rsync creates a temporarely file with the correct information and fixes the corrupted one.

Re: [expert] When memory usage begins to grow...
Now I know: I must wait at least one minute before using the reset button :-) Yes - the box may not be hung, it may just be very busy trying to find memory. I recall an interesting 'horror' story several years ago that a friend and fellow Linux user related to me. He (at the time) was running an older (version of Linux) on a 386 machine with only 4 megs of memory and had not set up any swap space. Well, obviously, that's not a good thing to do. But anyway, he fired up Emacs one time, did some stuff with it, and then did a ctrl-x ctrl-c to exit. Once he did that, the system began to act as if it were completely locked up. But he was patient, and waited, and even timed it. 46 *minutes* later, he got his shell prompt back. And this (since he was without swap space) was not a disk intensive thing at all - just the kernel memory management routines trying to juggle stuff really (relatively) fast for a long time. óscar.
