[newbie] Corrupted menu
Hello, I did a dumb thing, installed a menu support rpm that came with CorelPHOTOPAINT9 not realizing that it was the KDE 'K' menu (StartMenu?? What is the Linux term??) . It put 4 entries in the menu for every item that was there. I uninstalled it. It removed the items, I used menuDrake, it put them back. How can I restore the menu?? I tried an uninstall the menu but that meant that I would have to uninstall KDE itself. Help, please. Ammon

RE: [newbie] Dual Boot Trouble
I dont think you want to do it this way. I believe win2k and win98 use diffeerent mbr records. If you replace you win2k boot parition with a win98 one, I dont think it will be very happy to make winnt startup disk go to the hell and search for startup disk however I have no clue how to restore your win2k mbr. From the bottem of this mail chain and my own previious experience, you installed linux and with win2k or winnt. Unlike windows where it will give up the mbr, winnt and win2k dont like it. There is a howto to setup bootloader(win2k/nt boot thingy) so that it will allow you to boot both whenever you want. However when I first scred up (like what you did) i had to reinstall win2k. Since I screw/format my computer almost once a week I didnt care to much but that was the only way I could solve it good luck Nadin Merali On Thu, 29 Mar 2001, Kelly, Christopher wrote: This is because you are not booting from the disk.

RE: [newbie] Dual Boot Trouble
If you are infact using Lilo as your bootloader, the best way to remove it especially where Win2k in conserned is to boot to linux. From the command line, or open a terminal and su to root, then uninstall lilo with the command /sbin/lilo -u. This not only will remove Lilo but will also restore any boot record you had at the time lilo was installed.

Re: [newbie] Which tool to establish ISDN connection?
Hiya Hellmut, I supose we are both in the same boat as im trying to get online with my ISDN card too. The easy way to do this is to get yourself an external ISDN-adapter like f.eks. Dynalink TAS400 witch is greate because it functions with exactly the same comands as a normal modem, but with ISDN speed.. So all you have to do is to setup a normal modem-link and it works (with only changing the dial-comand). The hard way that im trying to do now is to setup a proper ISDN conection with my internal ISDN-card. I found the kISDN (that came with Mandrake) to be a greate tool its a graphical frontend to the isdn4k tools, and I found the documentation for this program very helpful. What my problem is for the moment is that Mandrake (or most other distributions) don't have ISDN support in their kernel. So im trying to configure my own kernel right now, and as for the newbie I am this is no small task so Im making wery slow progress at this. But if you find another way to fix this please let me know. Andr Hi! I've an ISDN connection from now on, but I don't have a clue how to connect, except using DrakConf... isn't there a tool to connect as unprivileged user too? -- , (o o) +--oOOO--(_)---+ | | |H E L L M U T | | | | www.fegefeuer-webzine.de | | | +-0OOO-+ | _ | _ | | | | | | | | | ooO Ooo

I like StarOffice (used it in the old OS/2 days, too). However, it doesn't have a driver for my HP970Cse and its envelope feature is both arcane and non functional for me. Not to mention I have no help files, for some reason. Does anyone have any experience with WordPerfect for Linux? I've read very mixed reviews, like no support from Corel, it's hard to install, etc. KWord and Abiword aren't full featured enough for my needs from a wordprocessor or I'd be using one or the other of them. -- Regards Mike Hodder

[newbie] Crystal Audio PnP soundcard Problems.
I have a Crystal Audio PnP soundcard. Harddrake comes up with 3 components: Crystal PnP Audio System CODEC Crystal PnP Audio System MPU-401 Crystal PnP Audio System Control Registers The CODEC seems to be fine, under Kernel Module the MPU-401 Control Registers say: unknown. The Control Registers component is listed under Other Devices, instead of under Soundcards, like the other 2, and under informations it says: "This device hasn't been identified by HardDrake, please send a pnpdump output and this device ID 'CSC0010' to: [EMAIL PROTECTED]" Any information on how to get a pnpdump or help fixing this problem would be appreciated.

[newbie] 8.0 installation
Anyone else running into these problems? Running the installer from the cd, I get an error "second stage ramdisk not uncompressed", hit enter to continue. After that, I can get to the partitioning, where I cannot get the installer to recognize the swap partition (running Win98, Mandrake 7.2, and Red Hat 6.2), it keeps giving me an invalid argument error, not recognizing the correct swap partition. If I make it through this by not selecting any partitions to format, I then get an error stating a missing basesystem file. Bad download, bad burn, hardware conflicts?

We've tried video cards that I've used in Linux before but none of them seem to work. I know you will need more information, I'm just not sure what is needed for sure. There are no IRQ conflicts and we've tried installing with nothing but the video card, disabled all the com ports and usb stuff, and still nothing. We got the information for the monitor and entered it by hand and made sure we had the right driver selected. I'm stumped. Any help would be greatly appreciated. Riker

On Thu, 29 Mar 2001, you wrote: Pop Mail Network Error: Account name is OPEN 'The server not found' error I just had this exact error message before I signed on for my mail tonight. Here is what I did: I changed the account information. I actually changed my full name to just my first name. I did this also in the outgoing account info. After I changed it all back to what it was, It worked fine. My advice is try to undo what you may have done, if that doesn't do it, delete your account info and start again with a new one. Good luck Michael
Re: [newbie] Documents about Linux
I too would appreciate the same documents. So far most of the ones I have go right over my head with no info on commands for me to get familiar with first before actually typing them in and sitting back to see what happens. Thank you in advance.

[newbie] Installing RealPlayer8.bin file -- Instructions
Dear friends: You can get RealPlayer 8 from RealPlayer home page at http://www.real.com by selecting the free RealPlayer 8 Basic and then choosing under OS "Unix". This will take you directly to the Unix Community Supported RealPlayer page at: http://huxley.real.com/real/player/unix/unix.html?src=rpbform You have a choice of downloading two files for Linux: a RealPlayer8.rpm and the other file, which is a RealPlayer8.bin file. Due to the problem with "a different architecture", the rpm file will NOT install. It has been strongly advised by our gurus NOT to try to install it either by forcing it (--force) or by using the --ignorearch option. INSTEAD, do what I just did, thanks to a message from Wolfgang and from Tom Brinkman: First uninstall RealPlayer 7 by typing the command as root: #rpm -e RealPlayer Now install the RealPlayer8.bin file (around 5.8 meg) as ROOT. Then, as root, continue your installation and install the plugins and mimetypes. This is part of the installation as root. Just follow instructions until you have installed it fully as root. Then, as USER, go to the directory it has installed itself in, namely, /usr/local/RealPlayer8 and type: $/usr/local/RealPlayer8sh mimetypes.sh and $/usr/local/RealPlayer8sh plugins.sh This will give you the plugins and mimetypes as user. Now, all that's left is to make it more convenient to launch RealPlayer8 as a desktop icon. Create the icon, then in Properties, Execute type: kstart /usr/local/RealPlayer8/./realplay If you don't add "kstart" you won't be able to launch RealPlayer automatically from the icon. So, add the "kstart ..." and it's done. That's it. I am going to send this to the Newbie list. Hopefully, this will help other newbies. My thanks again to everyone who helped.

[newbie] [Newbie] Getting online
Anyone help me with this error message: "warning the following hosts are unknown. home.netscape.com,home6.netscape.com and internic.net this means that some or all hosts will be unreachable. Perhaps there is a problem with your name server If your site must use a non-root name server you will need to set the $SOCKS_NS environment variable to point at the appropriate name server it may (or may not be nescessary) to set this variable or the socks host preference,to the IP adress of the host in question rather than its name. consult your system administrator."
Re: [newbie] [Newbie] Getting online
Dear Phil: I think the message means that you have been disconnected from the Internet. I imagine you are using broadband (ADSL or Cable). You need to first do a cold reboot (shut down, disconnect your power cord from the wall and disconnect the power cord to your modem), reconnect, wait 15 seconds, turn your system back on. This should reinitialize your modem and you should be online. If not, contact your Internet Provider. Benjamin -- Sher's Russian Web http://www.websher.net Benjamin and Anna Sher [EMAIL PROTECTED]
