Re: [expert] VNC

[Paul Waldo]

Hi Werner,

I had a lot of problems with the VNC RPM on the Mandrake 6.1 disk.  I
was VNCing from work (latest version, 3.3.3 R2) to the VNC server at
home.  It had a lot of problems, and I finally just downloaded the
binaries from the source and it works like a champ.

[expert] Kernel 2.2.13-22 packages won't compile

[Paul Waldo]

Hi all,

I updated my kernel packages, as suggested by MandrakeUpdate:


[root@paul linux]# rpm -qa|grep kernel
kernel-2.2.13-7mdk
kernel-BOOT-2.2.13-7mdk
kernelcfg-0.5-6mdk
kernel-2.2.13-22mdk
kernel-doc-2.2.13-22mdk
kernel-headers-2.2.13-22mdk
kernel-source-2.2.13-22mdk
kernel-pcmcia-cs-2.2.13-22mdk   

Now when I try to compile the kernel, I get these errors:

[expert] Attrocious background in MandrakeUpdate

[Paul Waldo]

Hi all, 

I am running Mandrake 6.1 and connot figure out how to change the
background on the MandrakeUpdate program.  All backgrounds as well as
buttons have some kind of "wood" texture to them, obscuring the text. 
This seems to be the only program that exhibits this "feature", so it's
not a desktop issue.  Does anyone have an idea how to fix this?  Thanks.

Paul
