thanks for correcting MY typo you were correct. Yup - I knew about find files, but I needed the right file name - I guess maybe dmesg is what you meant, not dmseg. Assuming that to be correct, here are the files from both the server and a client machine. how do you shut down the computer? dmesg in the client machine has a lot of: clm-6006: writing inode 52808 on readonly FS messages. That doesn't look healthy does it? maybe a hard drive failure in your future?

Note that I am using a newer kernel than the stock 2.4.8-26mdk that comes with ML8.1 so I am using supermount - yours may be different as supermount is broken in the 2.4.8-26mdk kernel. The important bit is the /dev/scdX part. And lastly (I'm not sure if this is absolutely necessary) reboot - I'm not sure if just remounting the cdrom will do it so I just reboot.

(so we can make a donation to them for their support of the list.) Since they give us much needed advice and assistance to both newbie and expert lists. (and probably cooker too, dunno bout that one) and both have supplied packages that we wouldn't have otherwise. (and example of which is: ftp://ftp.eastwind.net/pub/mirrors/texstar/Mandrake-8.1-i686 new packages for 8.1 that otherwise would be relagated to cooker.) Its not part of their job description either as I understand it to do all this, so why not?

Funny enough I got a phone call from a friend who had just install the lastest kernel from the cooker and had the same problems. I was able to help him out in a few minutes after learning from my mistake. But one difference was that he had removed the kernel as explained above and then ran the the CD as in the UPDATE mode, this was able to patchup his system with the kernel from the CD as well.

Re: [newbie] Slow image activation
I shutdown by right click | logoff | choose Halt from the KDE desktop. Problem? The dmesg files are attached in the message that came back to me. I have attached them again here. Having just rebooted I see that I misquoted the message issued at startx - it's actually something about host name unknown, but it goes by too fast to see it properly. Now that the server has been up all day, the client machine is super fast right from the start. I wonder could it be a process on the server which eventually gives up / timesout / dies which is causing these long delays?

Re: [newbie] Can I run Mandrake on PPC Clone?
Are you asking whether there Mandrake is available for PPC? If so, the answer is yes (http://www.linux-mandrake.com/en/ftp.php3#ppc). I find that it runs well on the G4 I have at work. However, if you're asking how it will run on a clone compared to an actual Apple machine, I wouldn't know.

Re: [newbie] StarOffice FYI
Actually with OpenOffice released under GPL, this might not be a bad idea. Ironicaly it could actually increase the corporate adoption of StarOffice. Why? Because there are still a lot of people who think that anything that is free can't be any good and if it's more expensive it must be better. True, however I think the bigger reason businesses are hesitant to adopt StarOffice is because they think Sun may eventually decide that it's not worth supporting a free product.

Re: [newbie] LILO issues with 2 hard drives.[OT}
snip You were right about adding the Octal addresses. (That is Octal, isn't it?) (I love it when I (think) I know something:) No, that's not octal, it's hex. Octal would not have an 8 in it -- only 0 thru 7.) Randy Kramer That's what I get for typing when I'm tired. ;) You're correct on that being Hex and not Octal. Onur also refreshed my memory on that too by reminding me that Hex numbers start with 0x. I used to do webdesign stuff and I used to convert the RGB colors from PhotoShop to Hex manually (as in with a pad of paper, not with a calculator) to use in my HTML code. (Yes, I was only doing it to show off, lol) In HTML though they drop the Ox off of it though and since it's been a few years since I've really done anything significant, I guess it slipped my mind. I used to also convert IP addresses into Hex to see if there was a way of spelling words and find a real website. I never did find anything and most browsers don't deal with Hex addresses in place of URLs anymore, at least not very well if they do. It's also hard to spell words with only 6 letters. I suppose you could count a 0 as an O, a 5 as an S, and a 7 as a T, but that would be stretching it. ;) Anyway, thanks for pointing out my goof. Ivan.

Re: [newbie] Upgrading .tgz package
five ways: the thoughtful packager way (such as WineX, a very good bunch ;-): from the old source directory, do make uninstall. these should remove the old package and then proceed with installing the new one. be wary that dependent applications on this package may go berserk. the patient installer way: check the makefile of the old package and hunt down the files put by 'make install'. install the the new package after. the impatient installer way: since you have specified the directory, just remove it and hope that the application did not put any other files on other directories. hey you should have tried the patient installer instead of this one. the damn-be-damned way: just install the new package hoping that it would overwrite the previous package. the rpm way: find an rpm for the package. if there is no available rpm then try to learn how to make one (im putting this one off until i have the time ;-). take your pick! ciao!

Thx, Femme Well you could check cooker to see if there is a newer version of licq. This problem is foreign to me and I used licq quite a lot with 8.0, always as a user. Could it be that you only have the root user set up with Licq? In your home directory, there should be a file beginning with . called .licq If you ran licq from a terminal first time and you were su'ed to root, then that might have the wrong ownerships. Start up as root one more time and copy down the account number or UIN, then delete .licq in /root and in /home/username/ and log in as a normal user and from a terminal try licq... It should set up with no problems. If you still have trouble, email me off list and I will work with you. This has to be an unusual situation and I would like to know more.

Anyone know if I can install mandrake on an old PowerComputing PowerCentre 180 (clone)? No, it was written for the G3 and G4 processors and the older ones are not completely compatible.

When logged in as a user I use the file manager ( su mode ) if I want a file manager that is more than konqueror. after all , If I'm in kde I run Kde. if In Gnome run Gnome. but that's just me:-) Kinda a hammer approach I know but it let me sleep. ( plus you can always put it back when the solution is found. ) Anytime gmc is launched in a wm that supports desktop handlers and icons then gnc will dispaly the gnome icons. This will now occur anytime the same wm is started. To prevent/change this when this is not what you want to occur you must 'Exit' gmc. This is not accomplished by just closing the the program, that still leaves the actual process running. In gmc from the Commands drop down menu select Exit. This stops the process and the icons will disappear. Charles Want to buy your Pack or Services from MandrakeSoft? Go to http://www.mandrakestore.com
