You have raised an interesting point, though. I have been using subfolders under Archives, and it has no problem storing them, but they do not seem to be accessible outside KMail, so it defeats the object. Time to think again.

[expert] Alternatives to editing mp3/ogg files in Audacity?
I regualrily download streaming-mp3 files with XMMS. And I want to clean them up with Audacity, but above about 20Mb it crashes while loading the file. For the record my machine is a AMD 2100+ with 512 Mb of RAM and about 2Gb free under /home. I really need to edit mp3s up to about 1 hour in length, which would require about 70Mb files. Any ideas on how to edit them? Console would be fine, too, just so long as I have an indexing method to find the start and stop positions. Rob -- Linux: For the people, by the people.

[expert] NEdit file opening acting strangely on Mandrake 9.1
I've been seeing some strangeness with NEdit on Mandrake 9.1 whenever I use File->Open from an already open edit window (which has a loaded file) to open another file. When the second window opens, it looks normal, but any interaction with it is impossible -- menus do not work, and the actual editing portion of the window will not permit changes of any kind or even highlighting. It acts very much like the application has locked up. However, the first window still permits editing, and when you finally close the first window, the second window, which remains, then permits editing. If you continue this -- opening another, then closing the working window to make the non-interactive one interactive -- you will eventually reach a point where when you do open a secondary window, that window will *allow* editing interaction on the opened file. This usually occurs after the 4th or 5th file. I've seen this problem now on at least three different machines, and recompiling nedit from the original source doesn't seem to clear up the problem, so I'm fairly certain that this has something to do with some type of Mandrake configuration for version 9.1. Maybe one of the libraries it uses?: libXm.so.2 => /usr/X11R6/lib/libXm.so.2 (0x40027000) libXp.so.6 => /usr/X11R6/lib/libXp.so.6 (0x401a3000) libXpm.so.4 => /usr/X11R6/lib/libXpm.so.4 (0x401ab000) libXext.so.6 => /usr/X11R6/lib/libXext.so.6 (0x401ba000) libXt.so.6 => /usr/X11R6/lib/libXt.so.6 (0x401c9000) libSM.so.6 => /usr/X11R6/lib/libSM.so.6 (0x4021b000) libICE.so.6 => /usr/X11R6/lib/libICE.so.6 (0x40224000) libX11.so.6 => /usr/X11R6/lib/libX11.so.6 (0x4023b000) libm.so.6 => /lib/i686/libm.so.6 (0x4031a000) libc.so.6 => /lib/i686/libc.so.6 (0x4033c000) libdl.so.2 => /lib/libdl.so.2 (0x4047) /lib/ld-linux.so.2 => /lib/ld-linux.so.2 (0x4000) If anyone else has seen this problem and knows how to fix it, I would be very grateful.

Re: [expert] Mail formats revisited
Anne, I personally prefer mbox format for the same reason that you mentioned. If needed, I can easily use mutt,pine or even mail to read mail. You do not always have the option of reading mail with a graphical inter- face. It is true that maildir (at least for the most part) keeps mail in standard mail folders. If you use mbox format you do not have the ability to have sub folders. I come from the old UNIX days where you have a directory in you home called Mail and mail folders inside the Mail directory. Almost every text (mutt,pine,elm..) uses the Mail directory to search for folders by default. But as somebody pointed out this is a personal choice and either one is a good way to go it really depend on what really works best for the individual. I have been using Evolution at home and it uses maildir, it is not as straight forward as the Mail directory approach, but I did find that each sub folder does actually contain an mbox file which is standard mbox format. At work I use mbox with standard (Mail directory) because it is much easier for me to use IMAP, and if I need to ssh into my machine from home I can use mutt to read my mail and it is much easier to change and move between mail folders.

Anyway, in my judgement, I find the newbie list good for finding out how to do things via the gui way and figuring out how to get my nVidia drivers installed. I like the expert lists for more advanced topics such as shell scripting and advanced configuration. If I had asked this question on the newbie list, the chances are pretty good I would have been told how to load Konq in su mode and right click the filenames. I'm kind of between a newbie and an expert, so I answer posts on the newbie list and ask my questions on the expert list.

[expert] Display manager problem?
When starting Mandrake 9.1 now, I get the following message during boot up: ldm_validate_partition_table: Disk read failed If I boot in failsafe mode, soon after this message has passed, I get a prompt asking if I want to change the owner of / to root:root. I have been saying yes each time, but each time I restart the system, I have to restart in failsafe mode and I get the same as above. Also, I notice on shutdown that the shutting down of the display manager (dm) fails. Any ideas as to what may have caused this and more importantly how to fix?

So I can't bring up k-menu at current cursor location by pressing windows key. I have other keyboard layouts enabled for other other languages. When I disable keyboard layouts and restart KDE, windows key starts working again. Can I somehow configure KDE so that my windows key works while still having other languages keyboard layouts activated ?

MNF. And yes. But one should make sure they test stuff like that first...
MNF is slightly different in some respects from 8.2 so you may experience a
little oddness. It also only contains about 30% of the packages from 8.2,
so there will be a lot of stuff that doesn't get updated because it doesn't
come with MNF.

8.2 is alive until September, IIRC. At that point, he has a few options:
- do nothing
- grab 9.0 updates and try to build them for 8.2 (may or may not work,
depending on the app)
- build the particular app from source and, as you say, abandon rpm
It really depends on how much work he wants to do and how concerned he is
with security.

Re: [expert] Web site guru needed
First of all, I'd look at the page source (View/Page Source in mozilla.) If you see the amount in the raw HTML, it may be a Moz rendering problem or a problem with the site sending back different info for different browsers (Your bank isn't run by M$ is it?? ;) ) As an experiment, you might try saving the page, from each browser, into separate files. Then run some sort of diff program on them to see if there any differences between them. If there are, I'd say that the fault was more likely in the HTML that your bank is sending, than with mozilla. If it's a Java thing, I don't know what the problem is, but I've seen enough rendering issues to believe that Mozilla is almost certainly to blame... (Although switching to a different version of Java may help.) -Jason On Thursday 05 June 2003 03:53 pm, Anne Wilson wrote: > Hi, Steven. I think it's java.

Hi, Following the heat death of my server and desktop I'm in the process of building new machines. I run debian on my servers and used a nice bootable ISO that quickly installs a minimum networkable system and I can just apt-get the rest.

[expert] Gnome and Nautilus configuration
I am constantly stumbling against GNOME themes configuration. I am trying to add a new icon theme (Conectiva Crystal, included with Mandrake 9.1) to Gnome, but I can't find the way to do it... I tried dragging it from Nautilus to the theme window, pointing to it in gconf... I wish GNOME developers had'nt taken so much out of the configuration dept. Anyway, is there some explanation on how to do it for drake 9.1? The instructions on art.gnome.org don't seem to work for me.

Re: [expert] wrong CPU speed?
That's one old laptop... Probably one of the first speed-step CPUs. My guess is that it's booting in low-power-use mode -- do you have it plugged in or is it on battery? Not sure how to work around as all the modern tricks that I know for that use ACPI, which that laptop won't support.

[expert] Curve fitting/formula extraction
-BEGIN PGP SIGNED MESSAGE- Hash: SHA1 I have a special need/desire. Normally, one takes a datafile and plots it in some software program (I use xmgrace) and then extracts information from the plot such as a formula for a curve fit (linear regression, quadratic, etc). My special need is to extract a formula for a curve that is hand-drawn. So, say I need a generic, closest match formula to approximate a curve form, but I do not have any data to plot out. Can anyone recommend a bit of software or a means to extract a formula that most closely matches the curve?

If you do upgrade glibc and urpmi first. (You can even skip glibc from my experience but I understand the value here.) Then edit /etc/urpmi/skiplist. Add /apache2*/ (Someone check the regular expression here with the man page.) to the list. Then do the --auto --auto-select. It won't upgrade to apache2.. It will upgrade apache, since 9.1 does have a slightly newer version of 1.3 but it won't move you to apache2.

Hi, Charlie I use kde, and for most things I don't have a problem. I use xpp when printing from a browser, so that I get access to my printer setups (one printer, four configurations), and it works well. However, the problem comes when, for instance, I want to print out a faq from a docs directory. I open them in a text editor, but for some reason they don't print correctly. If I open them in KWord I lose the first page. It's most odd. I can print other kinds of documents correctly as 2-up. You would not expect plain text documents to be the cause of problems.

OTOH, I know from past experience that someone on their tech team has a *thing* about netscape > v.4.x. If I can find a setting for spoofing the browser id it would be worth trying to see if it makes any difference - IIRC Mozilla declares itself to be netscape 6 compatible. I do know that when I first used netscape 6 under windows I could not access the banking lines. Tech support said that they believed ntscp 6 to be insecure, so they were denying it. I had to use 4.7 to access their pages. The silly thing was that this was the time I was just starting to use Mandrake, and I could access the pages perfectly well from Mozilla. Incidentally, I was using Netscape 7 under linux up to a month ago when I installed 9.1. Between genuine problems and webmaster prejudices it's difficult to sort out things like this.

[expert] wrong CPU speed?
Dear all, I have a IBM ThinkPad 560Z notebook equipped with PII 300 CPU. It works reasonablely under winodws 98 but really slow under mandrake linux 9.1.

However the following is in my modules.conf file: # probeall scsi_hostadapter ide-scsi ataraid # So you might see if the module ataraid is being loaded. Also when I loaded ML 9.1 my system would not boot without adding "acpi=off" which did not happen with ML 9.0. You might try booting with this stanza.

Re: [expert] Java stopped working properly???
Mozilla crashes in both 1.3 and 1.4 and hangs in konqueror. Thanks for the suggestion though.

Thanx Mark I notice you say Mozilla 1.4. Did you compile this yourself or use and RPM or install program? The reason I ask, is I recall a problem with Java and Mozilla because Mozilla is compiled with gcc 3.2 and the Java SDK 2.96 (or something like that). I believe the Mandrake RPMS for Mozilla have been compiled with 2.96, but I believe the official Mozilla is with 3.2. I could easily be mistaken about all of this, but in the case that I'm not, you would need to compile Mozilla 1.4 with gcc 2.96 to get it to work with Java. Now all of that said, you might check Texstar's site and see if he has a Mozilla 1.4 packaged. Also, if I am wrong on the above, or the situation has since been corrected by Sun or Mozilla, please let me know (as I'm sure someone will :-) ).
