Whilst not actually answering your question this
http://www.pocketgps.co.uk/modules.php?name=Forums may be somewhere to
start.  It in fact deals with GPS systems but there are write ups on various
models and your glider package may be mentioned.

However most of these run Windows 2002/3 PPC I do not recall anyone using a
Linux setup anuless it has been installed under another name.

Good luck.

Well, your message got to the list OK, if you received it as well then all 
should be OK. The list is running at about 30+/- mails a day at the moment.

Hi,
Thank you Julie for asking Making New Connection cause I have the same 
problem since I live in Asia (Indonesia). I don't know which provider 
should I choose. Beside that I have problem with my connection so i'll 
work on building connecting first then ask that question.Till now i'm 
still struggling to connect my comp to internet under Linux or save my 
money to buy an external modem to overcome this.
===it's just a blow of my thought today!!===

[newbie] MDK 10.1 and ViaVoice

[David]

Back in Nov 04 a thread titled "Mandrake Linux not yet ready for primetime"
discussed amoungst other things Voice Recognition and ViaVoice in particular.
Jack did you try Viavoice and if so did you get it sorted.

I've just upgraded to 10.1 Official and have been able to get my hands on the
ViaVoice (v1.o) RPM's that shipped with MDK 8.0.

I'v read Volker Kuhlmann's pages http://volker.dnsalias.net/linux/speechrec.html
and /linux/vv/viavoice-SuSE8.2.html  . I've also downloaded his script.

My question is: Has anyone installed this version of ViaVoice on 10.1 and did
you experience any problems that I should be aware of?

Any clues as to what to look for would be appreciated.

Thanks

[newbie] amaroK 1.2-beta4

[Greg Meyer]

Some of you following amaroK development may have noticed that 1.2-beta4 is 
out.  I have built packages for 10.1 and have uploaded them to the usual 
place and they should install cleanly over my beta3 packages.  There have 
been no updates to taglib or any of the other libraries that needed to be 
updated on 10.1, so the beta4 package should be all you need.

If you don't have amaroK beta installed yet, I highly recommend you try it, it 
is an awesome new audio player for linux.  All the updates you need are in 
the same directory as the amaroK packages.  Once again, there is a package 
that includes mysql support.  More info here

http://amarok.kde.org

packages are here 

http://www.gkmweb.com/amarok/10.1

For anybody still using 10.0, I am having lots of trouble with my chroot build 
environment for 10.0, so I don't have beta4 packages, but I hope to get the 
time to fix it and get them up later this week but no promises.

Have fun.

Thanks for the reply.  I did as you suggested.  The resolution was at 1024x786 
(or something like that) and the color was already set at 16bpp, which was 
the smallest of available choices. I change the resolution to 1024x480, the 
next smaller choice.  After reboot, KDE came up, but the smaller resolution 
is unworkable.  I used harddrake to reset it back to 1024x786, rebooted, and 
got the same black screen.  This is a dual boot with XP and XP works fine 
with the higher res.  I have another monitor to try, but if that doesn't do 
it, I guess that 10.1 doesn't work with the graphics card, Intel 185.

[newbie] any PDA users out there?

[Aidan Holmes]

Hi all,
am considering purchasing a PDA, I've googled on the topic and I fast 
becoming confused with all the information out there - some of which is 
grossly outdated so I'm not sure what to trust. What I really need is a 
testimony from someone that has one...

Does anyone on the list use a PDA?
if so have you been able to install a distro such as familiar on it? 
Whether using a linux distro or its original OS, how well does it and 
the apps integrate with mandrake? (eg - PIM's)

I feel comfortable with 'Palm' but would prefer to dual boot an iPaq if 
possible. (I believe there is flight management/recording software 
available for glider pilots on the iPaq so this would be a bonus). I see 
Mandrake includes Kpilot which looks to work with the Palm - is there 
anything similar for the iPaq?

Sorry for asking so many questions - any feedback would be greatly 
appreciated.

Thanks, Aidan.

Look on the brightside... It's not a flood.

I've been on a list in the past that had a reply that posted to the list about 
the reply that it just had about it posting to the list that the owner wasn't 
in.

When most people picked up email that evening the messages jumped (normally 
100 a day) to 4800 messages.

I remember it well, as I was still on a 28k Modem :(

You could always bounce the reply to his company and ask them politely to turn 
it off? Its UK isn't it?!

There are two ways I know of and I use both.

1, let KWallet do most of it for you
2. Create a database with your passwords in. Most people have PDAs these days, 
I keep mine on that :)

Thanks Mikkel, 
Well, thats what I thought I read somewhere but it is strange. It
might even be something I added. I source bash_aliases and
bash_functions file from bashrc. You can make a change to the
.bash_profile and it doesn't get added .. 

anyway, Joe's fix worked for me. Thanks guys, for replying.

I was gonna get to some kind of test but that works. I am not sure

[newbie] RSS Feed Readers

[Chris]

Has anyone gotten Bottomfeeder 3.8 to work with MDK 10.1?  It doesn't want to 
save my browser settings, if keep defaulting to kfmclient openProfile 
webbrowsing, which I assume is the web browsing profile in Konqueror, however 
that doesn't work either whether its webbrowsing or web browsing.  I can use 
Firefox, and it works pretty good, however, I like using Bottomfeeder for its 
ability to setup feed subscriptions.

Change the script so that it is only run if fetchmail is *not* already running.

Here's the one I use:

ps ax > ~/tmp/bashterm

if [ $? -ne 0 ] ; then
fetchmail

This is in my .bashrc under '#exec on startup', though, and don't ask me how it

If you go into the KDE Control Centre, there's a GUI config under Security.

KWallet is an interactive password tool, it integrates with KDE applications 
that require passwords, like konqueror and kopete, remembering all your 
passwords for you and filling them in as needed, so you only have to remember 
one master password.  It also stores form completion data, and pretty much 
anything else the app programmer wants it to.  Note, the app designer has to 
code to use it.

[newbie] Audigy 2 not recognized 10.1

[Rick Kunath]

I'm hoping someone can point me to some ideas on the sound issues I am having.

This is a fresh MDK 10.1 install.

The soundcard is an Audigy 2 Value card, and works correctly on Windows 2k 
(this is a dual-boot machine.) The motherboard (DFI PM12-TL) also has an 
integrated AC97 sound card (VIA chipset drivers), but I have it disabled in 
BIOS. The BIOS is set to "non plug-and-play OS".

Lsmod does not show any sound modules loading, so I am guessing MDK didn't 
load them, thinking with no sound card, they wouldn't be needed?

On a hardware scan from MCC, I get this output?

Identification
Vendor: (null)

Description:  

Media class:  MULTIMEDIA_AUDIO

Connection
Bus:  PCI

Bus PCI #:  0

PCI device #:  10

PCI function #:  0

Vendor ID:  4354

Device ID:  8

Sub vendor ID:  4354

Sub device ID:   097

Driver
Module:  unknown


I am wondering what steps I might take to get the card recognized? I Googled 
aplenty and the card seems to be a supported card (that's why I bought it), 
but does not get recognized. 

I don't know if having the motherboard sound card disabled is contributing to 
the issue or not, but when I enabled it, it did not appear in the hardware 
list either (the previous output was the same), and the only effect was a 
"failed" indication when the "new hardware" test scrolled across the screen 
during boot up.

I've installed a lot of soundcards in Mandrake Linux, and have had a few 
issues over the years, but this one has me stumped.

Ideas and thoughts will be greatly appreciated.

[newbie] Isn't ~/.bash_profile sourced only at login ?

[RickSisler]

Hi All,
I thought the ~/.bash_profile was sourced only at login but mine it
seems, gets read everytime I start a terminal session, example: 
I start an aterm and have a custom bash setup as many do. I have
this line for fetchmail in ~/.bash_profile ..

# start fetchmail fetching
fetchmail -d 600

So when I start the aterm, this is at the beginning:


This is BASH 2.05b - DISPLAY on :0.0

Hello, ricks
Current date: Sat Jan 29 19:27:08 EST 2005
Learn as if you were going to live forever. Live as if you were

fetchmail: can't accept options while a background fetchmail is running.
[EMAIL PROTECTED] ~ $>


I keep commenting out lines in the startup files but it isn't
pointing to the offender .. and it's not terminal specific ..

Any idea's ?

Thx for any help

[newbie] KWallet

[Chris]

When I first started up 10.1 KWallet came up and I said I didn't want to 
configure it.  After seeing the thread on it I decided to do some looking 
around my system.  I found a kwalletrc file in ~/.kde/share/config/kwalletrc.  

[Wallet]
Close When Idle=false
Enabled=false
First Use=false
Use One Wallet=true

It initially had these four lines in it.  I tried just changing the 'enabled' 
to true, and 'first use' to true.  No luck.  Going into KDE Control Center > 
Security > Kwallet will allow you to set it up.  It seems kind of tricky and 
it took me a few tries to get it to accept my default wallet.  By the way, 
clicking on the System > Configuration > Other > KDE Wallet seems to do 
nothing.  Kwalletmanager is located in /usr/bin/kwalletmanager.  Running 
kwalletmanager from the cli puts an icon for kwalletmanager in my system 
tray.  My kwalletrc file now looks like this:

[Auto Allow]
mywallet=kwalletmanager

[Wallet]
Close When Idle=false
Close on Screensaver=false
Default Wallet=mywallet
Enabled=true
First Use=false
Idle Timeout=10
Launch Manager=true
Leave Manager Open=true
Leave Open=true
Prompt on Open=true
Use One Wallet=true

However, I'm still not sure about the purpose of KWallet.  Is it just to store 
passwords I use?

>>> whack a very good explanation from Anne about the evils of hijacking

JR:

IIRC, the MS mail clients do not support threading (possibly because they're 
too busy importing various kinds of system-busting malware?), with the result 
that recent immigrants from Windows seem to be the worst offenders about 
hijacking. To your credit, you do bottom post -- most ex-Windowsers tend to 
top post.

Since you are running KMail, you can easily set up threading from the Folder 
tool. (You'll have to do it on a folder-by-folder basis.) Then select (KMail) 
Configure / Appearance and check the box "Open threads that contain ...". 
That will cause KMail to close all threads except those containing new, 
unread, or important messages as well as watched threads. (You can set those 
flags -- and others -- by right clicking on the message.) Warning: While this 
will make slogging through your mail much simpler, it may also lead to 
posting nastygrams to people who break or hijack threads.

If you are after the source code for the programs that ship with 
Mandrake, you could grab the source RPMs, and install them. They include 
the source archive for each package, as well as the patches that were 
applied to them. You can also find links to the source for a lot of 
packages on http://freshmeat.net. Or you could take a look at 
http://www.gentoo.org  - it is a source-based 
distribution - you build everything from the source code.

Kwallet is part of kde.  I presume you do have kde installed?  If I remember 
correctly, the first time you use a password to access anything a dialogue 
box opens asking you if you want to use kwallet.  If you say no at that point 
I think it is disabled.  I'm sure there must be a way to enable it again, 
though.  Meanwhile, to see whether it is installed on your system, run

slocate kwallet

(Slocate may have to be installed first - it's not an automatic part of your 
install, but it's too useful to miss.)

If you use Reply to get up a form, then erase the subject and type in 
something different, you are hijacking.

If you use View > Headers > All Headers on this message you will see a line 
that starts with 'References;' .  Since your message has the ID 
[EMAIL PROTECTED] that will be in the line.  In 
other words, my answer to you is connected by thread.  When you hijack, your 
'new subject' retains that thread connection.  This makes for difficulties:

1) The thread becomes fragmented and difficult to follow.

2) Many people follow or ignore a thread according to their own interests and 
time available.  If the original thread was being ignored by the person best 
able to help you he will not see it.

[newbie] Mandrakelinux Mailing List Etiquette

[JR]

Would someone clarify this for me please?

"If you use Reply but change the subject, you are hijacking."

Does this mean if you change the 'subject' field, or the topic of the thread?
Reading it, it would seem to mean the former. But common sense tells me the 
latter.

I dont deal with common sense much so I said I'd ask :)

Hi,

modems and ethernet cards are different:  you must use one OR the other.
If you want to set up a connection via eth0, in MCC > Network and Internet > 
Make New Connection, choose "ADSL" or "cable", depending on what your ISP 
(Internet Service Provider) uses. 
You're right: the list of available providers *is* very incomplete, and I do 
not see any way of adding options. I find the  MCC>Network and Internet 
interface so confusing that I can no longer recall how *I* got connected!
You'll have to get help from someone else: try the Mandrakelinux documentation 
(it's in your computer) and the TWiki:
