Re: [newbie] Root startx problems

2003-06-02 Thread Lanman

Ronald; Try login in as a normal user, "su -" to root, and run "kcontrol". When you 
get there, open Look & Feel, and then Behaviour. You're looking for a checkbox to show 
desktop icons. Check the box, apply, close, and restart X.

I had a similar problem where my mouse pointer would stay "busy", until I found this 
option. For some reason, KDE keeps looking for the desktop icons even though they're 
not selected by default.

No guarantee that this will work, but odds are that this is causing your problem, 
assuming that you're running KDE ( I think! ). Grin! Grin!

[newbie] Root startx problems

2003-06-02 Thread Ronald J. Hall

Well, for some odd reason, I can't "startx" with my root account. I can login, 
su, anything like that. If I do a "startx", it goes thru the Nvidia splash 
screen, then the KDE startup stuff, then I get a busy cursor that never 
resolves. My normal user account works fine.

This is on a newly installed (not updated) v9.1 download edition of Mandrake.

Hi Yoel,

I did a little bit of work on it this weekend but had a hard time
because I was really just groping in the dark. I did, however, discover
the command to return the uncommon features between two files--comm.

I'm to the point where I pull the headlines, make about a billion
temporary files so I can get current headlines, compare to old
headlines, add differences to the old headlines list, then do the
mailing. Formatting is a bit off and I don't know why yet; I'll let you
know when it's usable, though.

It's human nature to take the path of least resistance, "g". That goes 
beyond "newbieism". Any bad habits taught here are usually by 
accident. Of course, if someone more knowledgable teaches me a bad or 
lazy way to solve a problem, I would consider it based on it's

still want to know "why?". Most newbies are interested in solving a

You're being anal about procedures. We tolerate poorly worded

Thankfully, those people are no longer hindering the progress of

I really don't know that number, "g". I am sure to agree with you that 
not enough do. I will also ask you to realize that not all docs were 
designed for newbies to understand. I can attest to that and would 
argue with anyone that this is true. And if docs are read and not

Duh! That's so stupid. In the world that I live in, the ignorant are 
not omniprescient. Your standards are way too high for this list and 
its desired intention. When a newbie lists asks newbies to act like 
experts to learn how not to be newbies, they need to change the name 
of their list to 'apprenticing experts'. 

Today's GUI email clients are designed to make HTML mail automatic and 
transparent to the user. It wasn't always that way, as you well know.

now it can be a challenge to turn it off. Stop whipping people for

Again, I found myself in this situation and was repremanded in a very

I would like to see a ratio of numbers to understand what you mean by 
'most'. Over fifty percent? Seventy-five? Ninety-nine-point-nine? How 
can you make such an assumption when you really can't know? Are you 
telling me that you have the ability to read the minds of lurkers and 
posters alike and see who does, who doesn't, and form such an 
opinion? And if you saw such facts posted through one of your Google 
searches, does that number specifically apply to this list, this

You have a habit of assuming that everyone around you just knows

You must be psychic, "g". For you seem to be the only one I have met

Try running (in a console/terminal)

depmod -a

...then reboot and try it again.

Something is definitely wrong if the nvidia driver isn't loading in your

Shaun,

Could you post your fstab so's we can have a look at the line for your
CDROM? I recall something being posted not too long ago about this
very thing, and i'm hoping that seeing your fstab will jog my memory.
While I await your response I'm going to ssh home and check my fstab
file to see what it's entry is because it all works gorgeously for me.

I'm sorry to hear that Canadians don't know how to party. This must be a

Having grown up in Detroit, and having done most of my "partying" in
Windsor and other cool Canadian cities - especially Toronto - I still
have to say that Canada pales in comparison to Australian partying.

Sorry for the "wake up call" y'all. (g)

Now, if Australia and the N.American continent were easily accessible,
most of y'all would be living here, and only visiting THERE for like,
snow sports and the likes...

a 'toa' is really not necessary. if a subscriber, whether a newbie or expert
post in html, then those who reply should reply only with 'please re post in
plain text'. not say, 'oh, well', and then answer. they will get help, and
from what i have seen, they will get even more help from subscribers who do
not reply to html.
there is no excuse for any user of aol, eudora, mozilla, kmail, ximian,
ole, or multitude of other email progs, to send text/html. yet they do.

that is not a good reason.

[newbie] Tip: When the Winmodem goes AWOL

2003-06-02 Thread Warren Post

My Winmodem (PCTel HSP Micromodem, CM8738) has always worked better in
Linux than in Windows. But yesterday it suddenly stopped working. It
took me a full day to find a solution, but is so simple that I'm posting
it for the benefit of others.

All I did was remove the modules and device files, and then recreate and
reload. Duh! In my particular case:

rmmod ptserial
rmmod pctel
rm /dev/ttyS15 /dev/modem
mknod /dev/ttyS15 c 62 79
chgrp uucp /dev/ttyS15
chmod 666 /dev/ttyS15
ln -s /dev/ttyS15 /dev/modem
insmod pctel
insmod ptserial

HTH someone.

If IBM buys SCO, they're even bigger idiots. Then Microsoft can say,
"hey, someone *owns* Linux now, and they're illegally undercutting us
on price" or some other BS. Further, it's like a tacit admission that
IBM made Linux what it is, and contributed proprietary code to do it.

Regarding point 2, just put a:

ifup ppp0

in an appropriate /etc/init.d file.  Doing this will cause it to
automatically redial if the link dies.  Is that what you wanted?

I now use DSL, but back in the dial-up days, I used a script controlled
by a simple flag file mechanism to enable anyone on my home LAN to put
the link up or down.  You are welcome to that if the solution above is
too inflexible.

A good suggestion, especially given the name. :-) It does view graphic
images quite nicely, but it doesn't seem to do other kinds - text,
data bases, word docs, spreadsheets, etc, as QuickView does. Nice tool
for what it does though.

Linux didn't do anything to SCO's proprietary business; MICROSOFT was
pushing NT since late 1993 - THEY'RE the ones that caused SCO such a
headache with replacing UNIX servers with WindowsNT servers. Blaming
linux on they're inability to turn a profit is like getting a flat tyre
on your car and blaming a meat pie for it.

Besides, if linux was so damaging to THEIR business, then why were they
selling it up until the middle of last month?

I had exactly that situation when I installed a new DVD dive recently. That

supermount may have done it for me.)

Canadians don't know how to party. Australians, however, know how to
party. Having a party that is approximately 1000km away from ANY law
officials precludes "decriminalisation" by far.

[newbie] GTKam icons won't go away!

2003-06-02 Thread Eric Scott




I have mnk 9.1 running on both an Athlon XP at 1.6GHz and a Pentium MMX at
233MHz.  I had GTKam installed on both, which didn't work with my AIPTECK
pencam.  After opening GTKam (gphoto2) and trying it with my pencam, two
launcher icons appeared on my gnome desktop.  these wont go away.  I delete
them, and they reappear at the next login.  I even uninstalled GTKam, with
no effect.
Any help?

[newbie] kppp questions

2003-06-02 Thread Robin Turner

I've been playing around with kppp. Two questions:

1. Are my frequent Mozilla crashes anything to do with the fact that I 
now have it opening on connect rather than manually?

2.  Is there a way to get kppp to connect on startup?

Try this:

* If /dev/dvd doesn't exist, make a link to that from whatever your
DVD/CDROM is to it.
(Example as from mine: ln -s /dev/cdrom /dev/dvd)

$3,800 USD? Ah, parrot-poop! Bloody cocky-droppings! Price must be that
high because it's currently "prime eReal-Estate" - shiver me splinters!

How's about we offer them $20 dollars; start haggling with'em...??

it's a lot more fun to do it the "hard" way, I agree, and the code is

Use the bottom one for holding your chewing tobacco or dentures. The
height distance between the two prohibits usage for dual cup holding,
but IS high enough for a "squashed" PBJ (or Vegemite) sandwich, or maybe
even some crackers (bisquits). This is an inherent design flaw in the
way that computer cases are manufactured, but the original engineers
still refer to it as being a "feature" and not a "bug". Ideally, the two
should sit side-by-side as in the old IBM desktop AT cases or in custom
desktop cases. With the two sitting side-by-side you can then make full
use of your equipment - allowing you to have two different types of
beverages at hand (Bourbon & Coke + beer, or Gin & Tonic + Guiness).

I'll have to check at work tomorrow, but i thought you could set it to

One feature outlook *does* have that is handy is you can take an html mail

Enter Only your name Josenildo Marques at this stage.

When you generate a key a series of questions is asked, name, comment,
email add, location etc.
For some you must enter the info for others you can accept the default,
but for whichever the info has to be entered individually not as a
group.

If you would prefer to do this with a GUI you can install seahorse which
is in Contrib.
After launching, from the Key menu select New and then just fill-in the
boxes of the resulting pop-up.

I hear that, I did my first webpages in M$Frontpage2000 and then discovered 
that a  lot of browsers didn't see it correctly, like- konqueror and 
netscape. So I redid it and used Quanta+ and then used the W3C validator to 
clean it up. Now all browsers can load it and it should be compliant with the 
latest government requirements. (I hope). The M$ FrontPage 2000 sits on the 
shelf as a shining example of how to waste money on proprietary junk. : (

If they're telling you that they're bringing a network card, you're
probably only going to have to configure the network card to use DHCP;
but you can get PPPoE login programs - depends on the ADSL modem,
though. Some ADSL modems allow you to configure them via browser - where
you can put in the username and password and other pertinent
configuration items; then the only requirement is to setup the ADSL
router to lease via DHCP, or set it up with internal static IP...

What kinda modem ya getting?

Actually this one you sent as HTML too. If it is outlook, I have had the same 
problem, every time you open Outlook and try to send a email you have to 
check "view" I think, or "format" can't recall which, and check "plain text".

It looks like you should just put your name in.
The example appears to be the "constructed" id, which has all three parts:

real name   Josenildo Marques
comment linux rules

maybe there is nothing wrong with your install of libdvdcss, it's not
erroring out on that anyway

IMHO, it looks more like either a problem with your DVD drive (either
physical or driver related)...anyway, I always say, "check the hardware
first".

In a terminal, you can run the command:

I removed libdvdcss by :

PLF has the acqua theme. I don't know about graphite or any other themes 
though, sorry.

ftp://ftp.easynet.fr/plf/9.1/i586/kdemoreartwork-kwinacqua_mod-0.1-1plf.i586.rpm

Try having a look at TexStar's site or the KDE page for other themes.

[newbie] mozila keyboard bug workaround

I just found a workaround to the loss of keyboard input into mozilla.

When mozilla stops letting you type into boxes, you can copy and paste some 
text with the mouse, and it will then allow you to go back to typing in 
with the keyboard.

You will need to get a spellchecker packaged for Mozilla 1.4b.  Another option, but 
somewhat risky is to install the 1.3 spellchecker by forcing it (i.e. urpmi --force 
mozilla-spellchecker).  You would have to do this from the command line (or in a 
terminal and be su'd as root).  I don't know if this will work or not, so use at your 
own risk (if it fails, just type urpme mozilla-spellchecker to uninstall it).

Your best bet for 1.4 spell checking will be to wait until it is finalized and the 
packages are made (usually a within a few days).  Is there something you need in 1.4 
that 1.3 doesn't give you?

Mandrake comes with several options to get you connected via PPPoE,
don't worry about it.

that is true. they're cheaper than...than...SCO stock! Check the

[newbie] konqueror and java

The first time I pointed Konqueror to a website with java - it was soon after 
installing it - konqueror could handle OK. But now it has stopped working. 
Mozilla can see the plugin and I didn't have to show it where the executable 
was.
My bashrc file has the following lines

# variables for JRE
export JDK_HOME=/usr/java/j2re1.4.1_01/
PATH=$PATH:/usr/java/j2re1.4.1_01/bin/

The binary I have instaled is j2re-1.4.1_01-fcs.

When I display my PATH what it shows is
$PATH
bash: /usr/X11R6/bin:/usr/local/bin:/bin:/usr/bin:/usr/java/j2re1.4.1_01/bin/: 
No such file or directory

What could be wrong ?

I also tried Cinelerra which looks perfect for capturing, but same
