Re: [newbie] Kmail and any others?
I'm gonna be one of the oddballs here .. ;) I use Mozilla as my email client, and I like it a lot. Kmail was good for a while, but I just grew bored of it. Evolution, I always had problems initially setting up my IMAP account. Could never get the mailboxes to show up, but after that, it wasn't always the most stable, as it would frequently crash on me.

Pppttt! (grin) I used OS/2 since 1992 until 1995 when working for a CAD development firm in the Tampa Bay Area. And we were developing a CAD for Winblow$!. Then the invisible hand of the market drove me to Window$. What I remember most of OS/2 Warp launch is that M$ put its entire staff to work around the clock for more than a month just to show that OS/2 could crash. I hope that development companies stop putting themselves the rope around the neck developing software only for Window$.

Re: [newbie] LimeWire Problems
> Well I don't know if its spyware but I certainly found mutella to be > much faster!!! Well does it use a Java runtime like Limewire? I use LimeWire sparingly -- just downloaded a more recent version. For me, sometimes I can get files fast, but that's few and far between, with long waits. I got one file in a few minutes, but another file of smaller length is taking over an hour, yet the connection spped was supposedly DSL. (I'm on a DSL connection, btw.) Other files sit waiting for a connection for what seems forever. I use it sparingly mostly because it really swamps my DSL connection with just a few files going out and one or two files coming in, maybe 4-6 connections at a time. > It does have a gui but I never set it up. gui is helpful but not strictly necessary. I've got an old gnut but last time I tried it couldn't find any files :(. Want to buy your Pack or Services from MandrakeSoft? Go to http://www.mandrakestore.com

Re: [newbie] What is .mpga
> What is your usual way to convert mpg files to wav? Have you tried > xmms-diskwriter? (I suggested MPlayer as a solution because i Are you perhaps confusing .mpg (motion picture files) with .mp3 (compressed sound files)? While both have similarities, .mp3 are strictly sound files (mpeg 1 layer III) and .mpg is one way to store video. I'm thinking that if they are in fact video files yuo could put these files on a VCD which is video on a standard CD. But I haven't explored this on Linux, altthough my brother does this routinely under Windows. Frankly, I'm not aware of any software to create the needed files that "make" the VCD a VCD, although surely scripts must exist to do that. There's more to a VCD than just a base file with the video. Usually this data is in AVI format and there likely exists software to do this type of conversion. For instance, mplayer (which you mention) has an mencoder component that seems to do everything :). If you are referring to *sound* files specifically (mp3) then if you are converting to wav, I would try mpg123 -s to write the mp3 to stdout and then pipe it to sox to turn it into a wav. I wrote a simple script: #! /bin/sh # basic mpeg to WAV format file conversion # $1 is name of file - assumes 44.1 kilohertz cd type input # wav as ext on sox determines file type of output # mpg123 outputs (stdout) headerless 16 bit audio data (-sw) mpg123 -s $1 | sox -t raw -r 44100 -sw - `basename $1 .mp3`.wav This may be overkill as there may be a way to write directly to .wav, without sox doing the transform. > assumed you could not play these files in xmms or other players..) > > > Damian > -- > -- > I don't want Windows to be only for the 31173.

If so, the kernel for those versions have "pre" imbedded in the version name. This causes the ./configure script to choke when it tries to determine what kernel version you are using (it looks for an integer for each part). Anyway, you can modify the script and hard code the version name with the "pre" embedded in it (just remember to change it back when 9.1 is really released).

That config file may be only for use with i82365, I am not sure. 3/ You can select between yenta_socket and i82365 by naming one or the other in /etc/sysconfig/pcmcia in the line 'PCIC=x' I am not sure if just putting i82365 in there is all you need do, but it is worth a try :-) 4/ You will find a useful pcmcia mailing list at http://sourceforge.net/forum/forum.php?forum_id=7049 and the main pcmcia site is at http://pcmcia-cs.sourceforge.net/ HTH derek -- -- www.jennings.homelinux.net Want to buy your Pack or Services from MandrakeSoft?

Re: [newbie] NFS Mount Problems
I do NFS installs, and here's what I have set for my /etc/exports, perhaps you could give something along these lines for it to work: /install 192.168.2.0/24(rw,all_squash,anonuid=500,anongid=500) That's always worked. So any machine on my internal network can access the NFS mounts. In Mandrake(9.0), /var/www is now owned by root, not apache. I'm not sure if that's the case in RedHat. But that could be causing you some problems. But you shouldn't need to use the netmask in there. I don't have mine specified, and it works. I have that /install mounted on various machines to use with urpmi or apt-get, and I have no problem installing packages like that. After you make the edits, make sure you restart all the services. portmap nfs nfslock netfs I would suggest umounting all the currently mounted NFS mounts before restarting netfs.

Re: [newbie] LimeWire Problems
Hi, I just installed LimeWire, and found it to be really good. It downloads files quickly, and searches are neat. But, I was wondering if it was spyware. If it is, then I may try Mutella. So if someone could tell me if was or not, that would be great. -John Drouhard On Tuesday 18 February 2003 07:26 am, Aaron wrote: > I had Limewire installed but found it slow so I dumped it for mutella > which I like much better. > > > But if you must go to the Limewire forum and under Linux installation is > a post that will cure all your problems.:- )(hint kaffe needs to be > removed) > > Aa > > On Mon, 2003-02-17 at 13:54, andy wrote: > > Hi > > I just recently installed limewire, and when i tried executing the .bin > > (which it came in as), it came up with this message: > > [EMAIL PROTECTED] Documents]$ ./LimeWireLinux.bin > > Preparing to install... > > Extracting the installation resources from the installer archive... > > Configuring the installer for this system's environment... > > No Java virtual machine could be found from your PATH > > environment variable.

Very interesting. I use gotmail, but I > think I'll try out HotWayd. Following up to my pown message, I did download and install HotWayd. Very sleek indeed. Looks like it will be a better solution than gotmail. Not that gotmail is bad, but it does have to be run as a precommand in Kmail, where HotWayd is just another POP3 service. Anyway, I followed the instructions as written on the web site and set my port to 8110. I then did telnet localhost 8110 and got a familiar POP3 greeting. Entering user [EMAIL PROTECTED] and pass secretword got me another familiar POP3 response after it negotiated with a hotmail server. Gil, make sure you're using the correct port in your telnet command, then reply here to let us know if it's working now. Want to buy your Pack or Services from MandrakeSoft?

I've been using CDRW's to record, store and install betas and RC's for a good while now and haven't experienced any troubles at all. In fact thats how I recorded and installed this RC version. As for the networking troubles I noticed that DrakConnect did definately have a problem setting up and the LAN during installation and couldn't get it all done correctly even after the system was up. That was an easy fix though because it was missing the DNS information for my LAN which was quickly remedied with Linuxconf.

I'm game. not knowing just how far you want to go with this, i have saved telling you that your monitor may be where problem lies. tho you may be coming aware of this yourself. Yes, but I still had bios APM enabled due to it's awkwardness in final shutdown without it, but I can always diable it temperarily. But look, this monitor LED thing is bothering me, you see the monitor LED is always green, never observed it changing colour to amber, though only recently been taking note of it, you see the most recent involuntary power off I did have the oportunity to see, and it stayed green. Manual says it ought to go to amber, and even flash or wink at you. That has to be odd. Could bios poweroff and not cause LED to change colour ? to insure that we have eliminated all before monitor, please verify that you have completely disabled all apm in bios. if anything is still on, disable it. return to x, any res you want. ;) insure that you still have symptoms. believe it or not, thunk and thunggg, how they occur, is a very important part of understanding where problem is. I have a facility on monitor options to manually degauss , that may be necessary I think it I'm going to remove the casing. next, does manual mention anything about monitor having any type off a controllable blanking? It talks about power management , and says it complies with VESA DPMS power saving modes.This is said to save up to 95% of power consumption. The manufacture is supposed to comply with US Gov energy star standards. Otherwise I cannot say it does. I'm going to turn bios power management off now for a couple of hours,and check up to make absolutely sure that bios is not influencing things here. Will report back in say 1700hrs gmt.

Speaking of Printers/Scanners, Epson Stylus CX3200 Printer/Scanner/Copier combo works. The printer uses the Epson C62 printer driver. The scanner uses the Epson 1200U driver, But only works with kernel >=2.4.21. The only problem Im having is, I upgraded to the latest MDK 9.1 Beta, by doing a fresh install, but the intsall always hung and quit installing on the printer setup, even with the printer unplugged from the machine, it still probed for printers and broke. I had to re-install MDK 9.1 and set up the printer and print a test page and then upgrade to MDK 9.1 Beta. Now the Scanner works great, but the printer isn't working. I tried to set it up again in the Mandrake control center, but the printer drake just sits there forever and never advances to the next screen, so there's no possibility of setting it up unless I do some serious hacking. Hopefully all this will be fixed with 9.1 final. - -- David M.

[go back thru your desktop colour set up, make a colour change with pointer in colour wave and vary level bar, watch numbers] of all these changes, primary cause of current increase is due to increase of hv current when it drives 'white level', or peak 'colour level'. this is due to fact that grid levels are minute as crt guns are 'amplifiers'. this is basics of crt theory. if you increase colour range, due to increased amount of levels, you could, in theory, as well as fact, decrease hv current. in setting up crt displays, for normal use, not games or other intense graphics, i recommend 256 colours or 16 bits. view in an area with minimal ambient light falling on screen. in 'white page' or 'white background', change to black or a low level gray. blank screen at 5 minutes, crt off at 10. all of which will save energy and crt phosphor. i hope you know a little bit more than you did before. ;) hth. peace out. tc,hago. g . -- think green... save a tree, save a life, save time, save bandwidth, save storage. send email... text/plain - disable pgp/gpg/geek code attachments =+= if you are proud to be an american, then buy "made in america".
