As for shockwave AFAIK there is no linux version, but you can get the Windows version working if you buy Codeweavers 'Crossover Plugin' or with a bit more effort you can run it under Wine. derek Want to buy your Pack or Services from MandrakeSoft?

RE: [expert] Mozilla Aqua theme?
I would assume that would include Mozilla - regardless of theme? I went to the location you described and tried to change the "Menu Translucency type" to Software Blend. But it must not be allowed in Mosfets High Performance Liquid since I received an error when I tried to apply. Any idea to get around this?

Cool link. I did figure out how to install the pinstripe-linux theme (needed one more '/' after 'file:'), but for some reason neither that theme or the ones at http://texturizer.net/firebird/themes.html worked for the main browser. Oddly enough, the fonts and buttons in mozilla-mail where changed by one of the Pheonix themes I installed. I'm running mozilla 1.4 from texstar if I remeber right. Probably version conflicts.

Welp, now I feel like a dumb ass :). I found this: http://themes.freshmeat.net/projects/aquaish/?topic_id=960%2C952 I thought it was another kde theme (didn't read the page too closely :)). Thanks Jack, I would have missed it, but took another look through the google results. Just tired I guess. I really need to stop doing stupid things. I'm having a little trouble installing it though. I was able to install themes from mozilla.org. I think I'm just formatting the file tag wrong. Here's the install.html: install pinstripe linux All I get is a page that says 'true' and nothing else.

Re: [expert] mozilla and printing
Can anyone give me some testing tips for a printer on a XP box? I've been able to print to it in previous distro's but for some reason I can't in this one. From Control Center, if I click Hardware | Printer, I get a screen with nothing on it. If I move the screen around a bit, then I can see the controls and stuff on it. I can set it up but print jobs just sit there in the spool directory. I can print to it fine from another Windows box so it shouldn't be a network issue. Tips? Ideas? Clues? Jim C.

Another thing to realize is that there's a difference between eye-candy and user-friendly polish. xpp uses a widget set that is guaranteed to be available on any X-Windows system, which is not something one can say for Qt. It may not look as sexy, but it will work. Besides, do you want to print in thirty seconds or three seconds? Granted it should take less time if I ran KDE as my desktop environment, but I'd be interested to see if a KDE user with similar machine specs gets three second response time.

The postscript printer should take its settings from your default printer, but you just are not going to get the choice that you have in kde apps. I think someone suggested that it was possible to use --stdout (or something like that) to get it to list your kde printers. With any luck someone will pick me up here and give you correct instructions.

Re: [expert] mozilla and printing
The difference betweek kmail and mozilla is that all KDE applications
use the KDE printing system (located in the KDE control center).
This detected my CUPS server (running FreeBSD) out of the box, without
any hassles.
Mozilla and other apps (like OpenOffice) use the default Unix commands
to print (which interface with CUPS).
So what you need to do is configure that serperately using the Mandrake
Control Center.
If you already have your printers configured there, make sure that you
have a default printer. This will be used when doing lpr on the
command line.
There's always the workarround to always print with the KDE printer
system (which has additional options).
Just print to a ps (postscript) file in Mozilla, OO, ... then open a
terminal window and type 'kprinter '.
Good luck

If MDK ever gets a regular ask-for-a-feature feature, I'm going to ask
for a way to set the default print commands of all environments from the
control center. I'm a big fan of xpp and CUPS -- I print to xpp as if it
were lpr, and it pops up a dialogue showing what printers are available
on this LAN and some options like number of copies.

Okay,
I was sure this was discussed here before, but I can't find it. I use 9.0 and

configure this so I can print to my remote smb printer. Any help appreciated.
here is the default syntax: PostScript/default. Then in properties it is: lpr

What I know about the mozilla print command is that you can change it to
what you want but it won't be saved for the next session, so you have to
change it each sesssion. There is a bug about this at mozilla bugzilla.
For instance, I can change this to kprinter --stdin and get the

printing to a remote smb printer but maybe that is accessible in

There is a comment somewhere on the Netscape pages that they should not be allowed to share a profile, but I can't remember how I got to the download page (some link) but I certainly did not see that before I installed. Anyway, I had hoped that by separating them I could control them. The main problem is with plugins, though there are print issues too. I seem to be incapable of getting Moz, Galeon and N7 all working correctly. At any time I have one that works for the most part, and the other two broken. Any improvement in one of the others seems to break the first one. I think I'll risk getting rid of N7 first, then if necessary I'll reinstall Moz and Galeon and start the whole round of plugins over again.

I've just gone through a bit of a pain to get my netscape 7 working properly after a new install.

It sounds real feeble - I've had such problems with Moz and plugins that I would like to remove it and re-install, possible with 1.2, but I do like the side-panel navigation and a few other things, so I'd like to get N7 working properly first in case I get into plugin hell again with the re-install.

Specifically on Korean. (to view not interface change.) 1. go to view-character coding-auto detect. 2. when that opens up click on Korean. 3 go to a korean page.

History more than anything else. Since in the past mandrake has put at
least one edition above what comes with the cd's into updates. Yes
it's
a guess but one that does have some history behind it.
Only if there is a security problem.
Of course, this is Mozilla, which means there probably will be one. =)
But it'll only go in updates if it fixes a security problem.
Otherwise, your best bet would be to look at Club.

RE: [expert] Mozilla 1.1
A *lng* time ago (8.0 days I think), GPM was goofing up the scrolling in Konqueror. I never had a problem with Mozilla though. I fixed it by turning it off in /etc/sysconfig/mouse by setting the line wheel=yes to wheel=no. This might fix the scrolling problem...

Re: [expert] mozilla quickstart in Mandrake ???
Too right!!! You tell him!!! I've also found that having 512MB RAM on my laptop REALLY helps - and even SDRAM is so cheap these days one would be mad not to get some - otherwise it all comes off the hard disk in the end so no amount of 'trurbo' software will do anything. With enough RAM - Linux seems to work ultra-efficiently by using hard disk caches and buffers - it's really good. Load an app once and it will load very quickly every time after that. Windows does bugger all with the RAM - it either sits there or gets chewed up by some stupid windoze app. So do yourself a favour and go and shell out a few bikkies for say 256MB RAM and you will be amazed what difference that makes..

Are you sure? It's a part of the standard kernel! If you do

then you do in fact have it.

Maybe. It depends if the hotplug configuration recognized which module

Those are contribs IIRC for Mandrake so they're not installed by default
for us either. I could be wrong on that.

I am curious about that. Mozilla starts fast for me, even under heavy

hi norman, it works yeah ... but it sux to have mozilla crash on you when you are in the middle doing some important long business mail that you were composing. and of course, it also sux big time to save draft mails everytime.

Re: [expert] mozilla bug
On my machine Mozilla just closes automatically. By selecting those key sequence. At first I thought I clicked the close button by accident. But I could repeat that by going through the Preferences... and mozilla quits. Obviously it is not reproducible on your machine. So the bug is more subtle. I did open mozilla mail and added some newsgroups and changed my email address before selecting \Edit\Preferences...\Mail & Newsgroups\Addressing. I will tried again and report this to bugzilla.

I have no problems at all with konqueror and Applets but lots of problems with java in Mozilla and Opera, it just opens a new windows instead of displaying the applet on the website. Try what Mark suggests, since it seems easiest. If this doesn't work download the jre from sun and link /usr/lib/jre-1.3.1_02/plugin/i386/ns600/libjavaplugin_oji.so to /usr/lib/mozilla/plugins (this works for me) Patrik Want to buy your Pack or Services from MandrakeSoft?

You'll be presented with a little plugin alert. since you're running as root you'll be able to download and install the java plugins. Do so.

Re: [expert] Mozilla 1.0 Problem
I'm curious, from your email header, your mozilla is gecko/20020605. I'm running 20020529 and do not have this problem. I downloaded mine as a tar file from www.mozilla.org. Is your copy from www.mozilla.org or did you get an rpm from somewhere? Maybe whoever created the rpm introduced the problem. Just a thought. Joe On Fri, 14 Jun 2002 18:36:11 +0200 "M.
