I've never had it in KWord, though. Have you tried checking your printer setup, especially if it has only just started happening? I would look in printerdrake, in CUPS admin and in xpp, as each seems to be good at some things and not at others. I'd also try installing another instance of the printer, configure it slightly different from the other one, and try a new print.

Re: [newbie] How to get Wine working? [SOLVED]
Hi Marco, The Wine on the 9.1 CDs is very old (new releases come out monthly). Wines compiled for Mandrake can be found at http://sourceforge.net/project/showfiles.php?group_id=6241 I'm not sure about the status of the November wine. There have been a number of complaints on the wine users mailing list about the Mandrake binary. However, I installed the October Mandrake binary successfully, so I know that one will install properly on a 9.1 system. I agree with cdrack's advice about using Winesetuptk to configure it. There is a new Winesetuptk at the site I listed above. One of its benefits is that it takes advantage of all the new stuff in the latest Wine releases. I installed it and thought it did a great job of installing all my media for Wine's use. Since Wine is alpha software, there is no guarantee that it will run your application. Winehq maintains a database of applications that have been tried with Wine (both successfully and unsuccessfully). You might look there to see if anyone has tried to use TopStyle with Wine. http://appdb.winehq.com Also, it is important to remove your current installation of Wine before installing another one. You can easily do this through the Mandrake Control Center. Good luck, deedee Thanks, I found the November Wine at source forge and it installed without a problem. It even includes winesetuptk, so configuring went pretty smooth. I even installed TopStyle and got it running quite easily. I'm not at my own PC at the moment, but I will send another message later explaining what I did to get it working, so others can benefit from it.

[newbie] Hardware Advice Please
My partner needs a cheap PC at work, a local supplier offers a base unit as below for £175 +vat - it appears just what they need, the intention is to install 9.1. The PC will be used mainly for sending/receiving e mail and occasional web browsing, I intend that they use OO for word processing. The spec is as below, can anybody alert me to any issues which could cause problems (I don't believe the onboard modem will work but that's no problem as it can be disabled in favour of their existing external modem). I only have a couple of days to decide... AND get it running - no pressure there then :-) The Spec MB is ECS K7SOM+ Sis 640/750 AMD2000 Sound C-media 9738 (not an issue they don't need it) 64mbVid on board SiS 640/750, AGP/Sis Driver 56kModem on board PCTel AMR/CNR NetCard on board SiS PCI Fast EthernetAdapter(not needed) 20gb 256DDR Apologies for cross-posting but I do need to know quickly thanks Want to buy your Pack or Services from MandrakeSoft?

[newbie] pmsuspend2 writing to wrong partition
hi, i have an hp pavilion xt118. i am currently running mdk9.2 and am trying to get swsusp to work. when i try it it goes down ok but reboot is slow and comes back with no mouse or keyboard. in my searches i have heard that if you use a seperate swap partition (one that isnt being used for ram) for suspend it works ok. i would like to know if this is true and how to do it. i made a new swap partition and changed the resume=hda() line in the boot section to point to the new partition but i dont know how to make pmsuspend2 write to that swap partition because it only wants to write to the original swap at hda5, not the new one at hda8. thanks in advance, drew Want to buy your Pack or Services from MandrakeSoft?

From the last spindle (100 disks, CDN$38.74 incl GST) all of the 700 MB blanks I have used so far were between 825 and 913 MB available space. Not bad for generic 700 MB High Speed (Max 48X) CD-R Media. BTW; only one coaster but that was a result of PEBCAK. ie.: the loose nut on the keyboard syndrome.

I use xmms to check playing time. Just hi-lite all the files and the total time is displayed. Overburn will only add about an additional 20 seconds (and probly won't work). Very cheap CDr's is a crap shoot. Often very good disks can be obtained, but sometimes they're a real headache. Check for who really makes 'em with 'cdrecord -atip dev=0,0,0' (assuming burner is scd0). Good quality burners like Plextor will tolerate poor CDr media better than cheap drives like LG. Even with good, cheap CDr's tho, the problem remains that the label side coating (where the recording is actually done) is most often very thin and fragile. Cheap CDr's should not be used for anything you wanna keep very long. Brands like FujiFilm are very good, they're made by Taiyo-Uden (the best manufacturer IMO), and only cost a little more per CDr, but hard to find around here. Others are CMC Magnetics (good), and Ritek (OK). I just got stuck with 200 TDK blanks ($30/100 on sale). Salesman said they were CMC's, -atip says they're Ritek's ;( I knew I should'a got Imation (CMC Mag's) even tho they're $42/100. Just md5sum name of iso image the resulting string of numbers should identically match whats posted on Mandrakes' web site. When you download the ISOs also download the md5sums.asc file. Then use the command Ron posted but add a -c flag: md5sum -c name of md5sums.asc file to do a check against that official check file. It should check all the download disks. Do this before burning anything unless you don't have enough coasters already. g If you've already done the deed (burnt the disk without checking) put the disk in your regular read drive and use the following command to check. Assumes you have mkcd installed: mkcd --checkmd5 /dev/hdX where X is the drive with the install disk. You'll have to do that for each disk, the first method is faster, checks all disks, and wastes less blanks. (-; HTH Charlie 'md5sum /dev/scd0' is the most reliable way to check the integrity of burned iso's. The md5sum might not match tho unless the iso was burned with DAO (SAO). EG, cdrecord -v -eject speed=8 dev=0,0,0 -dao name_of.iso Burning at lower speeds, even 4x, is recommended for iso's. In any event, speed should not be more than 1/2, the lower of, what the media or burner is rated at. IMO, use of GUI programs should be avoided. Specially iso's should be burned with the CL. It's actually easier than with a GUI anyhow if you make an alias. EG, alias biso='cdrecord -v -eject speed=8 dev=0,0,0 -dao' To burn the iso you simply type 'biso name_of.iso' (just type the first 3 or 4 letters of the iso name and hit Tab). -- Tom Brinkman Corpus Christi, Texas Want to buy your Pack or Services from MandrakeSoft?

I searched Twiki but couldn't't find it... Can any of you point me in the right direction? Also, if you happen to know of a good OCR program I'd love to hear about it =) Tango Tango, I don't recall ever seeing anything like that, but it's an excellent idea. I think we should start it right now. As for OCR, I've not tried it, but XSane has an option to scan to OCR, I think. Anne -- Ah ha! Found it... Here's the url: http://linuxshop.ru/linuxbegin/win-lin-soft-en/#1 It appears to be an excellent resource. Perhaps if this goes on up on Twiki, we could put an astrisk next to each piece of software that is Mandrake supported. For example if Gnucash is available from the mandrake contrib (or perhaps other mirrors) we could put a * next to it. Then people know they only need to urpmi the app name to grab it. If we really wanted to get fancy we could have the * hyperlinked to a page that listed the Mandrake versions that support the app. So we could setup 3 pages for example: 1 - 9.2 2 - 9.2, 9.1 3 - 9.2 9.1 8.2 Then depending upon the support of the app, we hyperlink the * to 1, 2, or 3. Just some thoughts That sounds a little complicated to me. Perhaps, though someone could start a table on similar lines, but adding a column for source (CD1, Contrib, plf and so on) and another for versions of Mdk? I think it needs a bit more thinking about, but basically it's a good idea. I tried xsane with not much more luck then Kooka. Basically it identified some characters that Kooka didn't, but didn't recgonize some that Kooka did. Perhaps I should start a new thread to see what others are doing for OCR. There's gotta be something better! Although Kooka and Xsane were really the only free OCR apps on that list... I haven't tried OCR since I gave up trying to find a windows one that worked. I know they have improved, but the last one I saw still had a long way to go. Still, I haven't tried gocr, Et's suggestion.

I don't see the point of having something that does nothing. Rewriting
the recipe the way I wrote it does the same thing as using the recipe
with {} and a second :0.
I really respect Stephen's knowledge but in this case I don't see any
point in having a recipe like:
:0
* [EMAIL PROTECTED]
* ^Subject:.*
{
:0
/dev/null
}
which translates into: if the message is coming from any body at
fc.emc.com.ph *and* the subject is any thing, send it to /dev/null. To
me, the subject line is adding no value to the recipe.
Take a look at man procmailex (procmailrc examples), specially at the
second example, and see how they avoid using unneeded {}.

I like it very much however.. Coming from a Windows intensive background I mainly use X and I have noticed that since the upgrade, my system time seems to increment itself by 2 hours each time I reboot the machine, if I don't physically change it each time. I have set the local time zone in the clock GUI to be Africa/Johannesburg and hence my time zone to SAST but my time still increments. I thought it might be that my hardware clock was said to be running on UTC but after correcting the time on the GUI and rebooting into the BIOS I confirmed that the time was correct for my time zone. I continued the boot process to bring linux up and saw that the GUI had a time 2 hours ahead of the actual time. If I do not adjust the time on each reboot the system advances my hardware clock by 2hrs which can result in me writing in today for tomorrow. :) I am comfortable using Kwrite under root to edit the necessary file/s but I do not know which one or many to edit. I opened the /etc/sysconfig/clock file and was greeeted with the below: UTC=false ARC=false ZONE=America/New_York Where the America/New_York came from is anybody's guess. I tried editing the file and putting Africa/Johannesburg as the Zone but I did not have any luck with the line as below: UTC=false ARC=false ZONE=Africa/Johannesburg # was America/New_York Any ideas to stop the incremental clock and get it to recognise that Zone as it is setup in the GUI? TIA Hylton: I had the same experience yesterday. Not having seen any reports of a sudden relocation of the local tectonic plate, I figured it was in my KDE settings. I cured it as follows (all from the GUI): 1. From KDE Control Center System Date Time set time zone to No selection. (This is what got me into trouble -- the day before, I'd changed this from No selection to New York. 2. From Mandrake Control Center System Set Date Time set time zone. A window will then appear asking if the system clock is set to GMT. Select yes or no as appropriate. I've since been through a reboot and the early morning cron routine, and KDE is still reporting the correct time.

Thanks in advance,
Sure. Below is my dhcpd.conf and named.conf. The main trick here is to create
a secret key to be used by both dhcpd and named. We can generate this key by
using dnssec-keygen. I don't remember the exact syntax, but you can see it in
the man page of named or dhcpd. Or for sake of easiness, you can just copy
paste the portion of my dhcpd.conf and named.conf which consist the key
(lines with DHCP_UPDATER).
Everytimes there is a new client attached to the network, dhcpd will receive
the dhcprequest signal from it, and then offer a free ip lease, if it
concurs, then the client will adopt the ip and all the settings, and dhcpd
will send a dhcpack and register the record in dns.
Previously, I thought that Linux can't offer this dynamic dns update, and only
w2k server is able to do it. But, know, I'm convinced and love Linux more

Do you get bounces when you post as [EMAIL PROTECTED] ? Or do they just not go thru? I have to use another email address and confirm it. This started a couple days ago, and I have tried sending about 3 messages that have not come through. I am subscribed with [EMAIL PROTECTED] It looks like you are subbed as both of these: [EMAIL PROTECTED] [EMAIL PROTECTED] This is my dad's but not [EMAIL PROTECTED] This one isn't subscribed at all, but the one that I used to get this message to go through. Which one do youpost with that results in a confirmation message?
