Re: [newbie] KDE 3.0
Mine works fine, I did the same thing. I am writing this in fact using Konqueror for KDE 3.0. If you download all your RPMs to the same directory (and no other rpms are in there - not sure if that part matters but it's how I did it), then you can just do: urpmi ./* and it will ask for Disk 1 to install a few RPMs when it needs it (I don't remember the exact RPM names). KDE3.0 is pretty neat, faster than 2.2 so I've switched from Gnome to it for now (gotta wait for Gnome 2.0 to see if it stays better).

Re: [newbie] New silly Question. ;) Recommend good file manager?
I use XWC , although it's seems to have stopped development, I still think it's great! It should be on cd 3 if I remember correctly. Nautilus looks good, but if far to heavy in my opinion. That actually countsfor Gnome too. That's why I switched to Fluxbox. Actually, the whole fluxbox uses as much memory as just the panel in Gnome :-) On Mon, 8 Apr 2002, James Thomas wrote: > Nautilus in Gnome isn't bad, it's just resource intensive and full of a lot > of fluff you don't need - just use the options to disable it and you'll find > it's not bad at all. > > James > > >I need a semi-decent one.

Shane, on another list I found that someone advised "comment out the export PATH= BLAH BLAHfrom /etc/profile.d/kde3.sh" This stops the KDE3 bin from being the default. " That was a paraphrase sorta. Anyway I commented the line as told and then rebooted and when lilo came up I hit the drop down for the list of WMs and sure enough there was KDE and KDE3. Seems to have worked.

OK, Mandrake 8.2 does not recognise my NIC, which is a Surecom EP-320X-R. It lists it as an unkown PCI device in the control centre. A driver (fealnx.c) was included with it on a floppy, but it seems really old and doesn't compile at all for me. I've read that this card doesn't work particularly well with 8139too, so I would have preferred to be able to use the rtl8139 driver because I've read that has better results. I just have no idea how to do this, really, because I've been using Linux since RedHat 5.2 but I've never tried networking with another computer before, and being in Australia I have a dialup connection, as most people here still do (stupid 3GB/month download caps, etc. whine whine).

[newbie] Planning server build
Hi Folks. Firstly, thanks to those who advised on using NetBEUI. I wasn't looking to share the CM, just see the desktop's hard disk. Anyway, the goalposts have shifted and my server build has commenced. I'm at the stage of putting the hardware together and would appreciate comments on my game plan as it stands thus far. Partitions: The disk is 40gig and the motherboard can take 2gig of ram in total (starting at 256meg). Is a partition split of 8/2/30 (system/swap/data) about right as a fairly future-proof proposition (Mandrake 8.1)? Although my intention is still to work mostly at the command line (and via webmin), this box will be fast enough to do gui and I'll probably want to try the gui options at some point. The main features of the eventual system are something like... File server to windows and linux clients on LAN. Internet gateway via cable modem. Firewall. Print server. Web server. Remote login and access to user data. Some questions... File service to Win clients by Samba, yes? How about to the laptop when it's running linux? Do I mount a network drive or something? The cable modem will be accommodated using a second LAN card in the server. How do I get it to sort out an IP/lease with the CM company? Tell it to use DHCP in the network/NIC setup in linuxconf? How do I set up the gateway for the LAN? (Is it a config thing, or do I need to install a prog?) Is there a built in firewall? If not, what's on the MD CDs that I should I use? Can I install/config the firewall before moving the CM to the server? Will the firewall prompt for approval when a Win prog wants to access the net for the first time, or do I have to config each thing manually? What's the scoop with setting up a print server? What do I have to install? Web server is, I assume, Apache. Is the CGI back-endy stuff part of the standard install? What do I need to be able to generate and send forms-based email? What ways are there to handle remote access? I'd like the data partition to appear in Network Wossname in Windows Explorer - the more draggy-droppy, the better. It has to be based on a user account on the server - I'm not into, say, an FTP server that requires separate account setup. Will Samba do this over the CM? How about doing this over a direct dial-up to my server, rather than via the internet? TIA! Wally Want to buy your Pack or Services from MandrakeSoft? Go to http://www.mandrakestore.com

Dial-Up Lists or DULs are used by a lot of servers to _reject_ email. This means that if you are on a dial-up or more improtantly, your IP is on their record as belonging to a dial-up block, your mail is kicked and neither received nor relayed. DUL as the acronym is also a good description of the mentality to think of such an action. Most spammers are rapacious businessmen, or con men or attorneys (don't forget attorneys _invented_ spam), and they are unlikely to set up a dial-up with postfix running so they can transmit spam traceably from their own computers... Instead they will use AOL free trial hours or freemail services. So the DUL is a blot on email and little more, value as anti-spam is infinitesimal. And in the same was that anti-virus people hype their products to sell to gullible users of linux as well as windows, anti-spam people hype second-rate products that work more like a blackboard eraser, nuking your email rather than surgically striking at it. And it is on-topic for this and every other mailing list. Most anti-spam is trash. Civileme Want to buy your Pack or Services from MandrakeSoft? Go to http://www.mandrakestore.com

I downloaded the program -- interesting.

[newbie] PCI-SCSI (dtc) Card for scanner install.
Sirs, After an otherwise successful installation of Mandrake 8.2, on a Cerleron 500 with 96 meg RAM, I tried to install my (DTC) Domex Technology Corporation scsi card to drive my Trust Connect 19200 scanner. The initial installation failed with the following message:- PCI: device 134a 0001 is "DTC Technology Corp. | Domex536" (dtc) have to insmod dtc needs dtc init_module: dtc: No such device failed Warning, insmod failed (dtc(nul)) (1) unsetting automatic I have tryed under Hard Drake to install without success. When I try xsane I get the message :- No devices available. Previously I have used this scanner plus scsi card with Red Hat 7.1 implimenting insmod with a driver dmx3191d.o and it worked well. Do I insmod dmx3191d.o in Mandrake 8.2 or will this mess up the operating system. Alternatively, are there other ways of getting it to work. Thank you for reading. Malcolm Candlish.

RE: [newbie] pan trouble
Well it's neither a problem with 8.2 or PAN. I've upgraded one box and did a clean install on another and both work fine. You might want to try removing the respective PAN configuration files from the .gnome directory and then set things up again. Also try deleting the contents of the PAN data directories where it saves the indexes and downloaded headers. I assume you are downloading Binaries with "complete" icons right? -JMS |-Original Message- |From: [EMAIL PROTECTED] |[mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED]] On Behalf Of Paul Rodríguez |Sent: Monday, April 08, 2002 3:01 PM |To: newbie |Subject: RE: [newbie] pan trouble | | |I did.

Re: [newbie] graphical boot up under 8.2
Hehe, that's funny, I was just about to post the exact same question! :-) Thanks, works like a charm. I actually don't understand why Mandrake be default chooses to hide all these details. And it's ugly I find. The lilo bootup screen does look nice though, just not the graphical bootup. I always disabled it though the Mandrake control center if I remember correctly, but since this option isn't there anymore, I had no idea :-) Greetings Ralph On Sun, 7 Apr 2002, ai4a wrote: > If you are using lilo as a boot manager remove the 'quiet' keyword from > the append line in /etc/lilo.conf.

[newbie] gvim/vimx misbehaving (set guifont)
I've just upgraded from RH 7.2 to Mandrake 8.2 and gvim/vimx is now ignoring the "set guifont" directive in my .vimrc file. What's extremely odd about this is that after vim is launched, I can manually issue the command and it sets the font appropriately (yes, I've tried many many different fonts). Something else seems to be taking precedent, but I don't know where. thanks, stewart Want to buy your Pack or Services from MandrakeSoft? Go to http://www.mandrakestore.com

It is KDE3 on the kdm selection and 11 KDE on Xtart from console. You need about 90 Mb space in / or /opt and if you do not have a separate /opt and / doesn't have that much room, then do this: 1. Open a terminal 2. su to root 3. mkdir -p /usr/opt ln -s /usr/opt /opt exit before you install. It seems to run well as security level 2 and to have problems at 3 or higher.

RE: [newbie] KDE3.0 a BIG disappointment.
Thanks guys, I got the fix's from the Texstar site and am now a happy little vegemite. Now, assuming it runs OK for a while and I'm game (or silly), given that I don't have much disk space, how do I get rid of KDE 2 (or is this not a good idea yet)? The only problem I had was that I couldn't install the KDevelop rpm because of a conflict with /opt/kde3/bin/extractrc conflicting with a file from kdesdk3-3.0-1mdk? Any ideas on this one. If I can fix this, and get the laptop to suspend properly every time I close the lid (instead of every second time) I'd be wrapped. Thanks again.
