[newbie] Epson Stylus C60 print problems with LM 8.2 download edition
Hello, I had been using an Epson Stylus C60 inkjet printer with LM 8.1 with no problems. Connection is via the parallel port on my PC (ECS K7S5A motherboard, Athlon 1600+ CPU). Yesterday I did a fresh install of LM 8.2 (download edition) and now I cannot get my printer to work correctly. The test page prints, but there is no blue and no black in the output, so the color wheel test page comes out in various shades of red and pink! I am using CUPS and GimpPrint (tried the other available choice with no luck there, either). I tried both "3 color composite" and "4 color" choices in printer options, neither works properly. I set up the printer with the Mandrake tool both as an Epson Stylus C60, and as an Epson Stylus Photo 1200P, which used to work with LM 8.1, but in both cases I only get red/pink output. The printer works normally under Windows, so it's not a hardware problem or missing ink. Anyone else have an Epson Stylus C60 working properly with LM 8.2? Can you tell me how it is set up, or how to fix my problem? TIA, -JV _ Chat with friends online, try MSN Messenger: http://messenger.msn.com Want to buy your Pack or Services from MandrakeSoft?

Re: [newbie] Changing Window Managers
Kirtis, I use the XFCE window/desktop manager (www.xfce.org). It's on the 8.1 PowerSuite. I'm not sure that it came with 8.2 (still exploring) but you can always download it from the xfce site. BTW, there was a bug with the Xscreensaver package in the Mandrake distributionprevents the screensaver daemon from loading automatically. If you do go to XFCE and run into this, drop me a note. I have an old email around here somewhere with the bug fix.

[newbie] Triple booting - success and a question
Thanks to Civileme's recent note (and some old ones as well) I finally have my triple boot (RH 7.1/Mandrake 8.2/Win98) system set up. Pretty straightforward really once the wisdom from the list has a chance to ferment a bit! I do have one problem, however. When I installed Mdk 8.2 I used a XFS filesystem for the / partition. RH can't see it. I know that I can find a module for the RH kernel and add it (although I don't know how to do it). I could also backup the Mandrake partition, which is on hda to hdb, and reformat the hda partition. I tried doing that by invoking another clean install (leaving /home intact). I ran DiskDrake (well it was invoked during the installation), selected the ext3 filetype and told it to reformat. Everthing looked fine but when I rebooted after the installation I got a kernel panic and frozen machine. I couldn't figure a way around it so reinstalled by reformatting the partition XFS. Is there some residual config file, pointer or kernel configuration that's telling the system that I have an XFS partition even after reformatting it ext3? More generally, what's the best way of dealing with this? I'm afraid if I do a tar of the all the directories in / I may have a problem with the /proc or /dev directories when I restore. I don't think DD would work as a backup mechanism in this instance as (I think) it will do a binary copy and just copy the old journaling system (XFS) back onto the new one (ext3). Thus, I'm left with reinstalling Mandrake but we've got this residual XFS hangup. Any thoughts guys and gals? Terry Smith Cape Cod USA Want to buy your Pack or Services from MandrakeSoft?

After seeing a reference to Fluxbox on this list, I'm using it now. It's about like Blackbox, but iconified apps get put into something of a "taskbar" (the toolbar). Also, Fluxbox uses tabs on its windows, so you can middle/3rd button-click on a tab, drag it to another window, and then you can switch back and forth by clicking on the tabs. Easily themes and customized like Blackbox. I've got a screenshot in my gallery (the first one in Linux screenshots): http://clevername.homeip.net/gallery/screenshots/. (BTW, I no longer use the rox filer panel, I just added entries to the Fluxbox menu.) To log in using Fluxbox, I edited ~/.xinitrc and told it to start fluxbox. At the graphical login menu, I select "Default," which must read the .xinitrc file, because I didn't go through the trouble of adding Fluxbox to the login menu. I know what you mean about KDE being sluggish. On my AMD K62 @ 500mhz and 384MB RAM, it took about 20 seconds for KDE to start. Blackbox and Fluxbox take about 3 seconds. And, using ROX filer for when I prefer a gui for file operations is sooo much faster than konqueror.

Re: [newbie] bios setting
Sounds like your computer requires a different keystroke to enter the BIOS at power up. The del key is the most common and usually works for clones, but name brand computers like yours often require you to press a different key to get into the BIOS. Take a good look at the boot message upon power on; most manufacturers tell you there what key to press to get into the BIOS. Failing that check your Compaq manual or check Compaq's web site. -- Warren Post Santa Rosa de Copan, Honduras http://www.srcopan.vze.com/ On Sun, 21 Apr 2002 11:21:55 -0400 "Ron Grace" <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> wrote: > on page 5 of the mandrake guide it tells me to set my bios for the pnp, it tell me >to hold down the delete key at power up to change the setting. i am running a compaq >7470 windows 98se. when i do this nothing different happens windows still loads,i >have tried both ways reboot,power off and then power it back up.help ty Ron Want to buy your Pack or Services from MandrakeSoft?

[newbie] Taskbar plots too slow
Hi, I successefully upgraded from LM8.0 to LM 8.2 by making a clean install (without the /home partition being reformatted). I noticed one problem that I would like to share: when launching an X application, e.g. gnome shell, the Ktaskbar correctly plots this application, but also plots another one as if the system was launching the former application (hourglass moving). However, the application is clearly there and working. Only after a certain amount of time does the second entry in the Ktaskbar disappear. Any idea?

How did you 'set' the WM to FVWM? Did you set that up in ~/.xinitrc?
If you want a light WM that has lots of features, you could look into
BlackBox, or XFCE (which is what I am running, see

And if you are interested in a translation of the text on the screen, let me

RE: [newbie] dual boot with XP
you have to put /boot on /dev/hda, I put my in the first 150mb of my hard disk and then I created a Partition for Windows XP about 5gb and then the rest is for Linux / /home /var /swap /tmp etc... and then I use LILO as my boot manager. Also make sure you use FDISK to make the 150mb partition active or else LILO won't load. At least this is what I had to do. As for editing the boot.ini As 'root', edit '/etc/lilo.conf': the first line of lilo.conf reads boot=hda, change the 'hda' to where ever the '/boot' partition is located (find out with mount). Run lilo Make a copy of the new boot sector with dd if=/dev/hda[x] bs=512 count=1 of=linux.lnx Note: 'hda[x]' is whatever the '/boot' partition is.

Re: [newbie] Dual Monitor
It depends on your video card configuration. If you have a card with dualhead built in, then it's usually just proper drivers from the manufacturer. It seems that 8.2 automatically installs and recognizes dualhead on a video card. I'm running the Matrox G400 MAX. My business partner's running the G550 I believe. He installed 8.2 on that machine recently and it saw in the install that he had dual display support, installed the driver. All he had to do was install Matrox's software to configure the dual display. If you're going to use two video cards, things can be much different and at times more difficult. But it's possible. I've toyed with the idea of putting a second video card in my workstation to stretch my display total to 3, but not sure it's worth it. It is very do-able. It's been possible for a while now as I understand it. Just depends on how you go about implimenting it. tdh -- T.

In the examples given previously the OSS driver install that DrakX created for you the mixers come up set midway on the volume contoll sliders. The manually enabled alsa driver produces a mixer control whose setting come up initially as nil volume, I manually reset them and have the new volume levels set as default. However should the wrong aliases be enabled in modules.conf there is no mixer utility at all, it is greyed over. See examples listed previously for details of the settings employed that work. In the DrakX OSS install I have sound from Kstart-Multimedia-Sound-CD Player only , no sound on any other device whatsoever. The devices themselves do seem to be playing,there is the usual number counter clocking up it's numbers as the tune is played in those devices that display as such, and those with the Horizontal slider bars invariably slide.They look as though they are outputting something , but sound is not heard. That includes Xmms.
