Re: I installed kde2.2
Glad to hear that you are feeling better. I just gotta figure out how to get KDE2.2 on eD2.4 without totally fubaring KDE. Then again, I'm probably going to upgrade(clean install) of W3.1 or SuSE 7.2, I haven't figured out which yet, when I upgrade my hardware in a week or two. I've heard of various problems/bugs with KDE2.2. I'd still like to be running it. Most of the problems that I've heard were due to the packaging by distros that broke things. KOffice 1.1 is scheduled to be released this week, IIRC. I don't know if they have exporting of Word doc files working yet or not. Good luck.

Re: I installed kde2.2
I'm wondering if an upgrade to X4.1 would fix this. The command you are looking for is ldconfig. It's used to reload the libraries.

Re: I'm in LILO hell
Quoting Net Llama [EMAIL PROTECTED]: I'm in the process of building a new PC to replace my aging PII-400 box. The trick is that I want to copy over the data from the old to the new. I've got a nice 30GB IDE drive in the new box, and i've successfully copied all the data with the following partition table: SNIP-A-ROONIE Attempts to boot into Linux result in the dreaded 010101010101010110 series of errors filling the screen. FWIW, i can boot into Windoze just fine, so this is purely a LILO problem. Normally, i'd assume that this is that dreaded 1024 cylinder issue, but as the fdisk output above indicates, /boot is well below the 1024th cylinder. I'm really not sure what else could be the problem here. I've been fighting this since Friday night with virtually no progress, so i'd appreciate the wisdom of any of your LILO gurus. I'm really eager to get this new box up running, since its a significant hardware improvement over the older one. I'd suggest that you not write lilo until your HD is where it's going to say...in it's home of /dev/hda. At one point, I only had one HD and when I was building a gateway from an old machine, I'd just hook the new HD (which usually came from a slower machine) up to IDE channel 2 and do the install on the faster machine. Did this several times with great success, until I added a second HD to the machine permanently and tried to do this with the new HD as /dev/hdc or /dev/hdd. I was never able to get the bugger to work until I put it in it's destination machine (a P90) and used TomsRtBt to fix lilo. I can't say with certainty that it wouldn't work because the HD was on the second IDE channel, but it would appear in my case that it was...might be worth a try. -- Linux SxS [http://members.home.net/linuxsteps/ ___ http://linux.nf -- [EMAIL PROTECTED] Archives, Subscribe, Unsubscribe, Digest, Etc -http://linux.nf/mailman/listinfo/linux-users

First off, the 192.168.x.x is a reserve address space, which you should NOT be seeing, unless you don't have any registered ip addresses and your border router is a 192.168.x.x address as well. Secondly, this is multicast traffic, which is pretty selectively allowed. Route discovery protocols use this type of traffic, as do some streaming technologies. If you have a registered IP Addy on your firewall's external interface, this traffic is most likely spoofed traffic and can be safely discarded (with the proper security response) I would contact the ISP and let them know of the issue and ask that it is resolved if they aren't the ones doing it. None of these address ranges belong to anyone. 10.x.x.x, 172.16.x.x-172.21.x.x, and 192.168.x.x are all reserved address spaces, for use internally in your network.

recording video
I would like to ask a rather openended question re recording old vhs tapes to harddrive. I have some old vhs tapes, such as the early 80's release of Ray Bradburys Martian Chronicles with Rock Hudson that has a playtime of about 310 minutes. Now I have both windows ME installed to do Graphical stuff that Linux is poor at, but I thought that I would ask the question here. #1 Can this be done on linux and if so what do I need, I have a Nvidia card by Guillemot (Cougar) with tv in and out. #2 Has anyone used Windows for this and what did you use? #3 I understand there is a limittation in mpeg 1 that allows only 1 hrs recording, does mpeg 2 fare any better? I plan to re-record to cdrom either vcd or svcd. -- - To make yourself look truthful one has to lie, as most people do not want to kmow the truth; but only that which they believe. - Keith Antoine aka skippy 18 Arkana St The Gap Queensland 4061 Australia PH 16 7 33002161 Retired Geriatric and Sometime Electronics Engineer ___ http://linux.nf -- [EMAIL PROTECTED] Archives, Subscribe, Unsubscribe, Digest, Etc -http://linux.nf/mailman/listinfo/linux-users
bootable partition
I have a ext2 partition, hda6, that doesn't show up in Bootmagic. It has Slack8 on it, and I can boot it using a boot disk. It's the second logical partition on the second primary partition, dual boot system with win95. Can I make this bootable somehow? I have tried installing lilo on it, to no avail.

Re: recording video
I use a connectix quick clip. Works with my TV(S-video), S-VHS unit and Sony trv-525 digital 8 cam. Mine is parallel version, there is also a usb. I use it strictly under Win NT, works great. D8 runs about 200M/minute for .avi's, about 45M/minute in MPEG-2. I have Ulead Video Studio and Macromedia Director, both work great. You should look at real.com's real producer. Takes video down to 2.5M/minute VS 15M/minute of MPEG-1. IBM HotMedia(free) can do things with .avi files for web animations and sync audio/video. Go grab a trial version of MacroMedia director and you can work with video to CD for 30 days. Big learning curve. If you decide to spend $$ you should take a serious look at firewire (IEEE1394) products http://www.cwol.com/firewire/firewire_products.htm Search on Iomega Buz. If you think it might work with your card I will give you the unit plus cord minus the card(it fried) for shipping. It has standard RCA video/audio and s-video in/out-puts. The card end of the cord is 15 pin with mono/stereo with jump jack for external audio track in. You probably already have the RCA and s-video patch cords you would need.

recompile and modules fixed
The brain is slower than the typed email, insofar as I remembered that acpi was to do with power management which i do not need and went and turned off. However I think I need to upgrade the linux-utils, reiserfs and binutils as i get quite a bit about reiserfs on boot plus I got the old ELF file complaint again on modules_install. I find also that I do NOT have system sounds on USER but I am getting kde sounds, this WS 3.1 is real wierd in this respect. I should get all or non. You would think that Caldera would have at least put WS out with more uptodate files, and or put them up for d/l onsite by now, rather than leave it to the more experienced amongst us to do the dirty work. I am still mulling over re Mandrake 8.1 the newest release that sounds great, but the write ups never really say its bad or indifferent. -- - To make yourself look truthful one has to lie, as most people do not want to kmow the truth; but only that which they believe. - Keith Antoine aka skippy 18 Arkana St The Gap Queensland 4061 Australia PH 16 7 33002161 Retired Geriatric and Sometime Electronics Engineer ___ http://linux.nf -- [EMAIL PROTECTED] Archives, Subscribe, Unsubscribe, Digest, Etc -http://linux.nf/mailman/listinfo/linux-users
KDE 2.2 Garbled Text Update
Well I just moved my .kde2 folder to another name and restarted KDE. Bingo, everything is back to normal. Obviously, there is some conflicted setting in the folder that is causing the trouble. I recommend renaming the folder, restarting then grabbing some of the variables from the old folder, ie. Kongy Bookmarks etc. I don't have any real mail accounts in KMail but I am sure someone can tell the members how to recover that info from the old folder. stayler ___ http://linux.nf -- [EMAIL PROTECTED] Archives, Subscribe, Unsubscribe, Digest, Etc -http://linux.nf/mailman/listinfo/linux-users
Re: KDE 2.2 Garbled Text Update
Another update. I was able to regarble my fonts. The font types are even gone. The originals anyway. Seems that when I change my clock to 24Hr format, it blows up the whole font setup under KDE.. stayler On Mon, 20 Aug 2001 22:14:05 -0700 (PST), Shawn Tayler wrote: Well I just moved my .kde2 folder to another name and restarted KDE.
