[newbie] What's wrong with my gcc?

2000-07-04 Thread Ren-jer Shih

My test.cpp is just a stupid program like this:
#include 

void main()
{
 for(int i = 0; i < 11; i++)
  cout << i << endl;
}

Re: [newbie] Supermount Woes

2000-07-04 Thread Alan Shoemaker

Billno dangers that I'm aware of.  Through
experimentation, since documentation is all but non-existant,
I found that supermount works fine on dos formatted floppies.  

But if you want to read/write an ext2 floppy then you need to
do it the traditional Linux way which includes umounting the
floppy when done.  If you don't umount then supermount won't
work on the next dos floppy you put in the drive.

[newbie] Zip and supermount

2000-07-04 Thread Eric

My name is Eric. 3 day old linux user. Mandrake 7.0
I have problems with my zip drive mounting. Its id in Drakconf as hdb.
Its a internal zip 100 ide
The floppy, cdrom, and cdrom2 is supermounted. If i put a '#' in front
of the supermounted drives in fstab and reboot the zip will mount and
work correctly. I supermounted just the floppy as not to have to many
mounted files and tried mounting the zip. No dice. I moved the zip mount
line in fstab above the floppy supermount line in fstab but I am not
sure I am using the correct zip mount line. So I would like the line in
fstab to mount the zip drive as hdb with the regular mount command and
the line to supermount the zip in fstab as hdb. Please. Any suggestions
are appreciated. Thanks.

PS This is my first posting and I am new to Netscape I have my
fingers crossed

  http://homepages.fh-giessen.de/~hg7229/khealthcare/

If your motherboard uses the standard Winbond w83782d chip for
monitoring, and most do, d/l the version that doesn't say lm_sensors
is required. eg, I used the  khealthcare-0.1-3 version (the rpm). 
Any monitored item you choose can be docked into kpanel. If you
have a Pentium II, III, or Celeron, the cpu's internal diode temp
can be read.  My p3-450 at 608mhz reads room temp to 43C under
extreme load (like when running 'cpuburn').  Installation is as
simple as installing the rpm, then configurung your sensors only
takes a few minutes.

   If you don't know what chip your board has (or if it even has
one, Dell for example leaves it off most of their boards), you can
use the 'sensors-detect' binary from lm_sensors to find out. 
Word of caution tho, I know my Soyo 6ba+III uses the w83782d, but
sensors detect said it was a w83781d on some runs, w83782d on
others.  So run it several times.

Hi James,

M is used for Megabytes, and m for millibytes. Now one on this earth
uses that. You have a typo.
Personally I use append="128MB", and I have no problems. If you have 512
MB of RAM, try changing the append line to: append="mem=500MB"
This is a limitation in Linux which should be answered by our Linux
gurus from Mandrakesoft or RedHat.

Phildon't change the fstab entry.  Supermount only works

Sure. You can go cable or have a T1 line installed. Even on cable it can
get a little slow, depending on the time of day. You have a good chip
and lots of RAM. I would recommend increasing the cache for RealPlayer.
Another options is to get a higher quality graphics video card with a
lot of video RAM.

Try DrakFont, available in the Mandrake 7.1 GPL version. It also handles
TrueType (TTF) fonts as used in WinDOS and a few other OSs. If you want good
looking screen fonts, then I've found that the best way to go is to install and

Cdroms mount just fine.  I want to be able to mount (both as

What did not work?  If you installed the other packages, you

Isn't this how 5.1 worked?  If you did the install as a user, each user
doing the install ended up with their own copy of StarOffice, but if you
did a multi-user install as root, only one copy of the binaries was
installed with each user running a setup that copied only what was
necessary for that user's personalization and data.

   Do you know what I had to do to get Star Office to install in Linux? I
had to click on the file. It actually had it's own installation program and
installed itself. The GUI was even the same as that used in the Win

Re: [newbie] How i mount my externall Zip Drive

2000-07-04 Thread Joe

Have you tried the steps mentioned in Mandrake's Installation Guide, chapter
8: After Installation?

The guide goes:

in Terminal (as root)...do

# modprobe ppa
# mkdir -p /mnt/zip
# ln /dev/sd4 /dev/zip
# echo '/dev/zip /mnt/zip vfat noauto, user 0 0' \ >>/etc/fstab

This works for mine and still is.

The Guide also pointed out how to put a link to the zip drive on the
desktop.

1. right-click on the desktop and select New - File System Device.
2. in the New File System Device: box, put in Zip.kdelnk
3. click OK
4. on the KFM window, click on Device tab.
5. Put in /dev/zip in the Device box.
6. Put in /mnt/zip in the Mount Point box.
7. Put in vfat in the Filesystem box.

You can change the icon as well there.

That's it. Hope it helps you.

Have a nice day

Joe

Yeah, I figured that out with the Redhat kernel RPMS.  After a while I

need a fresh install (well, not just because of that, but just for the hell

Sorry to butt in on this thread, but I have a question about
Netscape/Realplayer. I have them both setup, and apparently working, on
a 56k
connection. Realaudio buffers and plays, depending on the site,
sometimes very clean, nice, and sometimes it skips (busy site?).
Realvideo is pretty slow and jerky. Normal for a 56k connect
rate, or can I do something else to improve it?

I'm running an AMD K6-III/475mhz with 128 megs.

Thanks much! ;-)

In Sawfish/Sawmill WM it will depend on the theme used as to the type of
borders offered for dragging/resizing.  Also if you have a 3-button
mouse then placing the pointer on the title bar and holding the middle
mouse button while dragging will allow you to resize the height, well it

I understand that Gnome requires a WM because it is only a desktop

Gnome without a WM.

[newbie] PPP connection for other than root

2000-07-04 Thread Hugo GONZALEZ

Hello everybody.

Finally last weekend the MD7.1 download was completed (after about 60+ hrs of 
connection time). I installed it succesfuly. GRUB let me go beyond the 1047 cylinder 
and my connection to internet is working. I still have lots and lots to things to tune.

Ok, one of the things I couldn't resolve by my self is about my PPP connection to 
internet. If I want to connect I have switch user to Root and then go to 
drakconf/Network/PPP  and choose the connection I previously define. What I dont like 
about all this is that I have to enter root's password in order to launch drakconf and 
then several menu/icons entries later I get connected. Is there a way for a regular 
user (not root) to use a PPP conection and avoid all the menu/icons?

Thanks in advance.

I get that same error on my Voodoo 3000 setup. No matter which of the
Glide tests I do. All work from root, but not from my user account. I've
got Quake3 running as well, but again only from root.

Did you follow the tricks/tips/setup from the
linux.3dfx sight? Thats what I did. I figured I
got something wrong somewhere... ;-(

Let me know if you find anything out, and I'll
do the same! ;-)

Phil,

Thanks for relaying your lilo.conf.  I think this will help with solving the
problem.

Re: [newbie] LILO

Right.  If you edit your lilo.conf be sure to run the lilo
command afterwards as root.

# /sbin/lilo -C /etc/lilo.conf

Re: [newbie] Uninstalling Programs

2000-07-04 Thread Phil Burton


Usually, unless there is an uninstall script included with
the program, you have to locate the program and manually
delete it.  For example if you have installed "foobar" then
# locate foobar
/usr/bin/foobar
/usr/doc/foobar
... and the like.  Then 
# rm /usr/bin/foobar
# rm -r /usr/doc/foobar (the -r option if it's a directory)
You have to be careful not to break any dependencies.  Tar
files require a bit more Unix savvy than rpm's.

Re: [newbie] Mozilla Fonts

2000-07-04 Thread Pedro _


Hi!

I installed the three rpms referred below.

The mozilla fonts were installed successful. But Drackfont rpm package give 
me the same error:
Missing libgtkmdk and the gtk+mdk packages.

I am starting with KDE. Do I need to start with GNOME? With find file I did 
not find the libgtkmdk. Or do I need to download more rpms? (Maybe updated 
rpms)


Thanks in advance
Pedro

You might just install the following three rpms from the
first Mandrake 7.0 cd:
gtk+-1.2.6-6mdk.i586.rpm
gtk+-devel-1.2.6-6mdk.i586.rpm
gtk-engines-0.8-1mdk.i586.rpm

When I installed Mandrake I selected GNOME as my default
environment.  Your mileage may vary if you went for
KDE.  gtk is the basis of GNOME.  Someone else may have a
better suggestion though.
