Re: [newbie] Kde Template/Autostart
YES! I use Autostart to start Imwheel, and Kwikdisk. I like having Kwikdisk available in the Panel bar so I can quickly mount and unmount devices. I've never used Template. I'm relatively new to Linux/Mandrake, so I don't know what it's good for yet. What can it be used for? Please don't remove the Autostart folder.

Re: [newbie] partition trouble
You really have eight swap partitions? This isn't going to help stability at all. First of all, I seriously doubt it was a lack of memory that made your computer lock up. I can say for sure that while Netscape is not the most stable of beasts, it is useable on my meager 64MB RAM + 80MB swap. A gigabyte of swap is way too much overkill. Next time netscape locks up, see if you can kill it individually before you have to reset your computer. Try Ctrl+Alt+Bkspc to kill X; this may help, even if X doesn't seem to be responding. -Matt Stegman [EMAIL PROTECTED] On Thu, 9 Dec 1999, raymond borowiak wrote: While downloading Netscape 4.7 for linux, my comp froze and I had to reinstall.

[newbie] Cannot Log On to Mandrake 6.1!
I have just installed Linux Mandrake 6.1, and it won't accept my logon name or password. I have tried the root name and password, and the unprivileged username and password, but it won't accept either. So I reinstalled and chose different logon names and passwords. However, it still won't let me log-on. All I see is a text-based screen with a low-res picture of the Linux penguin, my hardware details and a prompt line which says "localhost logon:". Help!
[newbie] Host only network in VMware
Hi guys, I installed VMware and I am running Windows98 in the virtual machine. I tried to configure the network between the real and the virtual machine as host only. I added the interface line in the samba.conf with the IP address of the real machine in my college network and a randomly selected IP address 192.168.0.1. The netmask was set to 255.255.255.0. In the virtual machine the components added to the network configuration in the control panel are: Client for Microsoft Networks, AMD PCNET Family Ethernet Adapter (PCI-ISA) and TCP/IP (where I chose a static IP address 192.168.03 with a netmask of 255.255.255.0). I also used DHCP to get the IP address dynamically. When I go to the Network Neighborhood and try to open the Entire Network icon, I get a message that it is unable to browse and that the nework I not accessible. What is wrong?

I restarted dhcpd about a month ago, but cannot remember (must be when 6.0 came out) since the power was off or a full reboot was done. (That's my home masquerader/server, the others attached to it I do turn off. ) The m68k machine doesn't seem that stable, but the others seem OK and probably could be left on The one using OpenLinux is restarted often to restore its rather anemic approach to networking, and it falls off a lot, but the Peanut and Mandrake (and There are no more RHs in my network) are left off to save power. Then there is a rig which I rarely start, partly because it consumes power wholesale, and partly because there have been few demands on the purpose for which I built it, and partly because it cannot satisfy its purpose from this location. It uses RH 5.0 on all nodes, but it is not part of my home network. Now at work, all the PCs are shut down daily except the workgroup server which stays powered up and on-line (through a 56K Modem and a dynamic dns service, it runs email for the organization, and must remain available).

I don't use host only (I use bridged) so I'm not sure exactly how much host only allows you to do but I think it may not allow you to use the network neighborhood. Secondly, you're supposed to use the actual ip address assigned to windows in your smb.conf (not a randomly selected one) but this should only affect Linux' ability to see windows. You can get the ip address under windows by running 'winipcfg' (if you haven't already). Thirdly, what type of network are you on? If it's netbios running on tcp/ip, what you have installed will work but if it's some other type of network (i.e. IPX/SPX, etc) you may have to install extra software under windows. The error message you got makes me think that either host only networking doesn't let you use the network neighborhood or that windows isn't configured right (you may need to tell windows the ip for your firewall server... i.e. wins, socks, etc) Hope this helps.

Also i think on the enlighten desktop env, i saw some cool looking interfaces for system usage(memory, cpu stc.) is something similar available for kde. Thanks to all for your time Regards, Saurabh

[newbie] KDE and kpanel
I really messed up this time: Running KDE. On a whim, I decided to try out switchdesk. It came up and gave me 2 choices KDE and Anotherlevel. I chose Anotherlevel and clicked on the "Change only applies to current display" It then tells me to restart X. I did that but it then tells me something like "Chosen fwm2, but it does not appear to be properly installed. Using TWM" when I do a startx. It then dumps me into a blank X server. Fortunately, I have an xterm in Autostart which starts up. So I try switchdesk again and selected KDE. After going thru' everything,I get dumped into the plain X server again. I then try a startkde and I get my KDE desktop. But without the kpanel? bar at the bottom, and only one screen. I always boot up into level 3 and start X manually, but when I boot directly into level 5,(just to check) I get the full KDE environment. What's going on here? Is it that "Change only applies to current display" thingy? I would like to have my proper KDE desktop back again with my 6 virtual desktops(starting X manually). Help.

Re: [newbie] Video Issues
First of all, your video card may not be supported. If you see the card in the list, then it's supported. If it is not in the list, there may be no driver for it. Secondly, you can use an unlisted card by running XF86config. You need to know the resolution attributes of your monitor and the capabilities of your video card (min-max verticle and horrizontal refresh rates). I'm sure there is someone that posts here that has more up-to-date information, so maybe they can post a better answer for you. My card (ATI Xpert128) isn't currently supported by XFree86, but SUSE wrote a driver for it that works. I downloaded their driver and followed their instructions and got my card working. Perhaps there is something like that available for you as well. --- Joe Yoon [EMAIL PROTECTED] wrote: When I load Linux up, KDE starts up.

I have just installed Linux Mandrake 6.1, and it won't accept my logon name or password. I have tried the root name and password, and the unprivileged username and password, but it won't accept either. So I reinstalled and chose different logon names and passwords. However, it still won't let me log-on. All I see is a text-based screen with a low-res picture of the Linux penguin, my hardware details and a prompt line which says "localhost logon:". Help!
[newbie] Re: [expert] Kde Template/Autostart
Autostart Look inside the folders in Autostart and you will find lots of icons for applications that are not on your desktop. Like to have one or more on the desktop? Drab it from autostart to the desktop and select "Copy" from the window that pops up. Now it's ready to use with one click. Template Want to run your favorite command line application from a desktop icon? Drag the gear icon in Template to the desktop and select "Copy" (don't select "Move" or you will not be able to do this again.) Now right click on the gear and select "Properties" Input the requested information in the dialog box that appears, click on the gear icon that is inside the dialog box to select a new icon for your applicaton or executable script, select OK and you have a new application icon ready to use. I used it to create an icon for minicom, Midnight Commander (-c on) and a script I use with fetchmail. My recommendation then would be to keep them unless you are setting the machine up for a user and you don't want making changes easy for them.
