My system is a Pentium II 350MHz, which is not a speed daemon by any standard. I can encode MPEG videos to DivX format using mencoder (part of MPlayer) AND handle all my web browsing and e-mail at the same time, simply by giving mencoder a nice value of around 10. It works great when I'm compiling code as well. Of course, everything is slower, but it's still usable. -- Sridhar Dhanapalan Give a man a fire and he'll be warm for the night.

Sounds to me like Derek is on the right track regarding memory.
memtest86 is on the CDs. If it is a memory issue, that will probably
track it down.
Your observation about it being less crash prone in "heavy" apps than
"light" doesn't really square with that diagnosis (or with the swap file
idea either), but what you are describing here is sufficiently flaky to
point at memory first.
If memtest doesn't find anything conclusive, it may be time to try the
"clean contacts and reseat components" routine.
Good luck

Re: [newbie] KMail problem-one box and multiple users
It's not the solution you're looking for, but I would establish a separate POP account for each user. Some ISPs will set up more than one POP account per customer, or you can do this through any of the free POP services on the net. I'm using softhome.net for just this purpose and recommend it. Once each user has his own separate POP account, you should be able to set each user's instance of Kmail to chech his and only his POP account. -- Warren Post Santa Rosa de Copan, Honduras http://www.srcopan.vze.com/ On Tue, 23 Apr 2002 20:36:19 +0530 "L.V.Gandhi" <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> wrote: > Requirement: > I have one PC with mdk 8.2 linux with 3 users A,B and C. > All should have access to the mail retrieved from ISP's pop3 server and should > be able to send mail through ISP's SMTP server. > This is required because in the absence of one another can download mail and > send mail.

Re: [newbie] aliases
Word to the wise, do not toy with /etc/profile.d/. Just leave those alone, and as I've detailed in the past, create your own ~/.aliases for your user. (Check the archives. This has been covered before.) The best place to add your aliases is in ~/.aliases. Yes, you can put them in ~/.bashrc and ~/.bash_profile, but it's best to keep those files small, and a typo is more friendly in ~/.aliases then it would be in ~/.bashrc etc; So set up your ~/.aliases by using your favorite text editor. Here's the format: alias =" Here's an example: alias mp='mplayer -vo x11' To get rid of an alias, use the unalias command. It's built into the shell. $ type unalias unalias is a shell builtin So after you've created all your aliases in ~/.aliases, end the file with your Unaliases Unalias unalias md unalias d Follow that format. It will prevent problems in the future, and you're not affecting other users that might want those default aliases. alias rm="rm -i" is a good example. After you've created/edited your ~/.aliases, at the end of your ~/.bashrc add this line: source ~/.aliases This will set up aliases for each time you open a new terminal. Source your ~/.bashrc and it will re-read your environment files. tdh -- T.

Kmail can easily be configured to read mail from a local procmail mailbox. As for sending each user can send to the same smpt server using the same account name/password. There is a nice writeup on fetchmail/procmail at mandrakeuser.org and the man pages for fetchmail and procmail are very informative. HTH derek Want to buy your Pack or Services from MandrakeSoft?

When I was going through my struggles of setting up a dual MD8.1/MD8.2 boot setup, my first install of MD8.2 was on the XFS filesystem. I went back and reinstalled it as EXT3. Since it was a fresh install, I didn't have backup issues to worry about. During install, I selected expert and deleted the previous partitions before setting up the new ones for EXT3. (I was changing the partition structure anyway.) I've not had a problem with kernel panick since reformating. I'm wondering if you just tried to reformat or did you actually delete the previous partitions? Barry Want to buy your Pack or Services from MandrakeSoft? Go to http://www.mandrakestore.com
Re: [newbie] aliases
To change the alias system wide (all users) you can make the needed changes to (as root): /etc/profile.d/alias.sh To make the changes for your user only and preserve the system defaults you can edit ... ~/.bashrc ... so to remove a default alias for, say 'alias md="mkdir"', for your loginin only you could simply add the line ... alias md="" to your ~/.bashrc file. The original alias would still be available on other logins... WARNING: Be careful changing the aliases. The reason the folks a Mandrake (or other distro for that matter) is to make things abit easier AND to help avoid disaster. Change them with care.. Have Fun!

[newbie] KMail problem-one box and multiple users
Requirement: I have one PC with mdk 8.2 linux with 3 users A,B and C. All should have access to the mail retrieved from ISP's pop3 server and should be able to send mail through ISP's SMTP server. This is required because in the absence of one another can download mail and send mail. However they shouldn't have access to other files of the friends. What I made? First I opened kmail in one of the users. This created the necessary files in Mail folder of that user. Then I made a folder Mail in /var/spool/ and copied the files created as above. I did chmod g+rws to /var/spool/Mail. I created group Mail and made all the three members of that group. I made all the files in /var/spool/Mail group rw. Problem Now when the first user connects and downloads mail. OK. But Kmail now changes the inbox permissions rw of that user only. group permissions are removed. Once he replies/composes a mail and sends it outbox permission also changes as above. Because of this other user can not download mail or send any mail. How to avoid these changes? If it can't be avoided how it can be rectified.(users are not expected to do any comand line job or to run any other program) -- L.V.Gandhi 203, Soundaryalahari Apartments, Lawsons Bay colony, Visakhapatnam, 530017 MECON, 5th Floor, RTC Complex, Visakhapatnam AP 530020 INDIA [EMAIL PROTECTED], [EMAIL PROTECTED] linux user No.205042 Want to buy your Pack or Services from MandrakeSoft?
