Re: Netscape problem was Re: [newbie] system freezes after 1 - 2 days
OKKK wooh it is fixed here is what I did. I had already tried to run it from the command line using /usr/bin/netscape I recieved You dont appear to have netscape installed. So I then used your suggestion rpm -qa | grep netscape* to see what was installed... the only one installed was netscape-common-407-1 so I ftp'd to a ftp site and grabbed the other netscape stuff and then upgraded what I had and poof it is fixed. Now if anyone has an idea on how I can get this darn thing to let me use kvwdial as a normal user instead of root so I can use netscape I would greatly appreciate it. I can dial out using kppp and connect but I cant use netscape or anything, it doesnt recognize I am connected I guess. If I try to dial out with kvwdial as a normal user I connect then it says something about ppd starting then it disconnects but the kvwdial window says it is connected but the lights on my external usrobotics 56k says otherwise. Any help will appreciated. JohnC William Price wrote: I hope you have better luck than I have... I am using 6.5 and the update link works but I did notice that when I tried to update netscape that it crashed twice before it worked... now however netscape doesnt work at all, it just sits there like you didnt click the icon and if you run it from the command line it says you dont have netscape installed, I am stuck with windows again until I get an idea what is wrong. JohnC Try finding it on the hard drive. As root from an xterm (i.e. su to root) type find / -name netscape and see if you can find it. It is probably in something like /usr/bin or /opt/netscape. If you find it, try running it with that path. If that works, then update the icon "execute" path (right click the icon and choose properties). If it does not run, then you should at least get an error message. Might not run if you updated with a version compiled with the wrong libraries.

[newbie] Beowulf Use.
I've been reading the Beowulf HOWTO and i have been trying to find a way to impliment this into an ISP/ASP Infrastructure. I was thinking of using this time of "supercomputer" as a WEB/MAIL Server. Can any tell me if this would be effective in this type of environment or if it would be uneffective. The reason for this is due to the fact that our customer base is growing at somewhat of a rapid pace and we have a little of 5000 users hitting our mail server so it does take some strain, also we have a large amount of web hosting as well and we probably have a little of 600 domains on our systems right now and only 3 web servers. I guess the so called "IDEA" here is to see if it is also cost effective to do this buy having say 5 computers in a Beowulf cluster running Web services with Mail services as well. Please send me as much info as possible on this because my employers think that this could be a great solution for our network. Thanks, Benjamin Branch System Administrator

[newbie] FAT partition problem with Staroffice
Hello, I had a strange problem with Staroffice, it can't read my FAT partitions, even when there rightly mounted and can explore them with xterm. I found a solution : it's to mount the FAt partitions in a directory of which the name don't have a CAPITAL letter(s) (what did Mandrake 6.1 /mnt/DOS_hdxx) I mount them to /mnt/dos_hdxx and it works fine (eventually edit the /etc/fstab) May this help someone !

[newbie] /dev/Lp0--Device Busy or Unavailable
Hello, I have been trying to set up my HP 712c under Linux. Last week I was able to get PBM2PPA working perfectly, and today I decided to "upgrade" to PNM2PPA for the color support. Everything went good until I went to test the new installation. No matter what method I use to print, I get a message similar to" Device lp0 is busy/unavailable." I am out of ideas now. The weird thing is that I was working fine with PBM and now it wont work with neither! Any help would be GREATLY appreciated. Thanks Jason Elwell [EMAIL PROTECTED]

[newbie] kdelibs - apps won't load
I've just broken KDE on my Mandrake system. :( I don't think it's anything major though. I downloaded the kdelibs sources package from: ftp://ftp.redhat.com/pub/redhat/updates/6.0/SRPMS/kdelibs-1.1.2-9.src.rpm and ran the RPM kpackage thing. Untarring and compiling the files it created, I discovered that clicking application icons on the panel didn't load them. Selecting them in the Application Starter menu doesn't work either. In fact, the only way I can load anything, is if I happen to have installed it as a link on the desktop background and by clicking on that. Could someone help me before I'm tempted to do break it even more? Cheers, Archie.
[newbie] Installation blues :)
Howdy folks, I have a distinct feeling that Linux, of any flavor, does not like me...:) I have Mandrake 6.5 that I am trying to install. I have tried to install it about six times so far, and each time I have run into the same error. So, I've finally decided to ask for help :) First, a little background... The machine is a Gateway 2000, Pentium 3 500, 128 ram, 2 hard drives [ide] [20 gig main drive] [13 gig secondary drive] I am trying to install to the second hard drive [13 gig] that I have installed into the machine.. I don't know whether the drive I am installing to is a slave drive or not, I will illustrate how I have it installed below so mayhaps you guys can tell (a b are the drives): [motherboard]---[a]-[b] The drive I am installing to is the [a] drive in the illustration above. But, when I am installing linux, I have the [b] drive's power supply cord unplugged. I have to do this or my computer will not recognise the [a] drive. I do still have the strip connected to both drives and the motherboard. So, I fire up the installation off the boot disk, It gets through every check fine. Now here's another part that I think may have something to do with it, but I am not wholly sure. When it gets to the part of the installation where you select whether you want a server, workstation or a custom setup I tried following the manual the first time and selected a custom setup, selecting and deselecting various packages. This didn't work, the next few times I tried to install I left everything at default and it still hit a brick wall. Ok, this doesn't seem to be working, I thought to myself, so I'll try the server and workstation installations...no dice, same problem It was at this point that I decided to write down the error..and hope like heck someone here can help me. So, for your dissection, I present the error I got. The error that I get comes up after about a half hour of the machine installing packages. Here is the process the error pops up during: making ext2 filesystem on /dev/hda5/ Install exited abnormally -- received signal 11 Sending termination signals - done Sending kill signals... done Unmounting filesystems /tmp/rhimage/ /proc you may safely reboot your system now _ ^--- that's a flashing cursor So, anyone have any advice?

Hi, I'm a pure newbie at this and would like to know if how could I get my cable modem to work. I really need some step by step instructions. And since I have a 20 gig hd. It tells me that I have more then 1024 cylinders and I can't install LILO. Is there a way to get 1024 cylinders so I can install LILO? Thanks people!

[newbie] RE: [expert] X on a Presario 1277 laptop
G'day John, Original message: Has anyone gotten X to work on a Presario Laptop model #1277? One of my co-workers is trying to get Linux installed on his laptop and it seems the lcd display won't work for him under X. :-( I don't know if you want to try this. What I ended up doing to get my Gateway Solo 2300 working was to set it as a Generic Multiscan monitor, set the appropriate resolutions and away it went. No matter how much I tried I could not get it to work properly using the Laptop monitor option. The end result was X in 800x600 with 16 bit colour. cya Grant Schmarr
