Meanwhile, to make this a more permanent help, could you start now writing up all you have learned about getting the system up and running, then add to it anything that comes up from users asking you for help? It would be nice to add this to the TWiki. When you get to that stage ask for help if you need it.

What about the fstab line? It feels a long time since I used a 2.4 kernel, so I may be remembering wrongly, but is the cdrom really scd1?

[newbie] artswrapper oddity
Hello again everyone. I'm having a rather bizarre problem with artswrapper (and my system notifications, but I think the two may be related). Ever since I upgraded to KDE 3.3, I haven't been able to set the Sound System to Realtime priority. When I try, it gives me this error: Impossible to start aRts with realtime priority because artswrapper is missing or disabled Artswrapper is there in /usr/bin. However, when I set it as UID root, it suddenly is highlighted in red with black text. I don't remember it doing that before, nor do I have any clue what the red highlighting signifies. Any help on this would be met with praise and adoration from me. Thank you in advance. --Phlod Want to buy your Pack or Services from MandrakeSoft?

The mii-tool thing ended up not acting like it made a difference after I'd left my computer sitting overnight, so I gave the ifdown eth1, unplug for 60 seconds, ifup eth1 thing a try. (Note to anyone reading this later for help, my network card is eth1 because I don't use the onboard network card, but the typical network card is usuall eth0). No luck with that, still wasn't behaving as it should. At that point I gave in and decided to shut down my computer. I ended up pulling out the network card, and reseating it after I completely shut off the power to my computer, then turning my computer back on. Everything seem to have reset itself and all the lights came on like they should have. Everything since has been behaving correctly, so I suppose I really can call this fixed.

[EMAIL PROTECTED] wrote: Mikkel L. Ellertson wrote: I would run "urpmi libXaw3d7" and use the pre-build Mandrake package. But if you realy want to compile it yourself, start by installing the libxorg-x11-devel package. It contains imake, along with other things you will need. Then you will need to see what other development packages you need to build the Xaw3d libraries... Thanks. Mandrake answers me: `Everything already installed' in both cases, i.e. when I say `# urpmi libXaw3d7' and also whan I say `# urpmilibxorg-x11-devel'. But the trouble is, that when I build Emacs CVS it doesn't detect the presence of Xaw3d in my system (that's why I tried to install it manually): in fact, when I run `$ ./configure' from Emacs CVS source dir, the following output appears: Does Emacs use -lXaw3d? no Does Emacs use -lXpm? yes Does Emacs use -ljpeg? yes Does Emacs use -ltiff? yes Does Emacs use -lungif? yes Does Emacs use -lpng? yes Does Emacs use X toolkit scroll bars? no . I had to install manually also jpeg, tiff, gif and png in order to get those 'yes'. Any other suggestion? Rodolfo Run "urpmi libXaw3d7-devel", "urpmi libtiff3-devel", and so forth for all the packages you need. The libraries are probably already installed, but you need the development packages that go with them if you want to compile your own programs that use them. If you realy want to compile it yourself, you can probable run imake -I../../config/cf -DTOPDIR=../.. -DCURRENTDIR=lib/Xaw3d instead of ../../config/imake/imake -I../../config/cf -DTOPDIR=../.. -DCURRENTDIR=lib/Xaw3d but I think you would be better off installing the development packages instead of compiling the libraries yourself. Unless you are carefull about how you do it, you stand a good chance of breaking things, especialy if there is a security update for one of the packages. Having a library installed as an rpm, and then compiling and installing the same library is not realy a good idea.

Kaj Haulrich wrote: Mr. Geek, if you mount your camera as /mnt camera, become root in a terminal, cd to /mnt and issue the command chmod 777 camera (where camera can be anything you choose, i.e. removable or whatever). That will allow you to write, delete etc. directly on the camera. Beware though, sometimes you won't be allowed to chmod even as root. In order to bypass that, you'll have to edit your /etc/fstab so that umask=0 (instead of the default 0022) for the device line. Save that file, umount the device and mount again. Now you'll have all permission set drwxrwxrwx which means that root, yourself and all others can do as they please. Kaj Haulrich. Kaj; Thanks for the info. It turns out that Digikam allows me to erase the camera's flash card memory without a single problem (it has a delete option). Since Digikam sets up a default folder for the pics in my /home folder, permissions aren't a problem. My whole problem revolved around the fact that the camera wasn't in "play" mode when I tried to access it.

Mandrake answers me: `Everything already installed' in both cases, i.e. when I say `# urpmi libXaw3d7' and also whan I say `# urpmilibxorg-x11-devel'. But the trouble is, that when I build Emacs CVS it doesn't detect the presence of Xaw3d in my system (that's why I tried to install it manually): in fact, when I run `$ ./configure' from Emacs CVS source dir, the following output appears: Does Emacs use -lXaw3d? no Does Emacs use -lXpm? yes Does Emacs use -ljpeg? yes Does Emacs use -ltiff? yes Does Emacs use -lungif? yes Does Emacs use -lpng? yes Does Emacs use X toolkit scroll bars? no . I had to install manually also jpeg, tiff, gif and png in order to get those 'yes'. Any other suggestion? Rodolfo 6X velocizzare la tua navigazione a 56k? 6X Web Accelerator di Libero!

Mr. Geek, if you mount your camera as /mnt camera, become root in a terminal, cd to /mnt and issue the command chmod 777 camera (where camera can be anything you choose, i.e. removable or whatever). That will allow you to write, delete etc. directly on the camera. Beware though, sometimes you won't be allowed to chmod even as root. In order to bypass that, you'll have to edit your /etc/fstab so that umask=0 (instead of the default 0022) for the device line. Save that file, umount the device and mount again. Now you'll have all permission set drwxrwxrwx which means that root, yourself and all others can do as they please.

[newbie] Can't set nomail!
For various family reasons, things will be rather chaotic for the next 2-3 weeks. Consequently I will not be doing any computing. As I don't want hundreds of postings waiting for me when I am back on the computer, I have been trying to set nomail for both newbie and expert, following the instructions in the Sympa help file, but can't. I have tried three different ways to set nomail, but none of them work - I am still getting all the postings. I tried "SET newbie NOMAIL" in the body of the e-mail, with no subject: the same but with "SET newbie NOMAIL" also as the subject, and also with SET newbie|* NOMAIL in the body (both with and without a subject). This was repeated for the expert list. I can't think of anything else to try :( All were sent to [EMAIL PROTECTED], which I am certain is the correct address. So, PLEASE can someone tell me where I am going wrong, and how to temporarily suspend the postings. I wonder if it is me, or if it is Sympa playing up?

[newbie] Canon Powershot A85
Hey Gang. I'm curious to know how I can go about detecting my digital camera (See Subject above) which is connected to one of my USB 2.0 ports. Mandrake sees the USB ports but not the camera. Digikam and GPhoto seem to be able to work with this camera (It's listed in their respective camera lists, but since it's not being seen on the USB port, nothing is able to connect to the camera. If it helps, Hotplug is installed and running, and my USB mouse has been running for months without a hitch. What's the best way to mount a USB device, in which standard folder, and other than the standard USB Kernel modules, is there anything else needed? FYI, I'm running Mandrake 10.1, kernel 2.6.8.1-12mdk. -- Mr. Geek Registered Linux User #190712 Want to buy your Pack or Services from MandrakeSoft?

I tried to download the privateer remake which had a stated file size of 180.5 meg. Bitttorrent ran at ~160 kps up until that point where the percentage went to 99% downloaded. The speed dropped to ~30 kps and kept downloading. There were uploads at a speed of 1 kps the entire time. I went out for the evening with the download still going (200 meg and still going). When I got home the download was complete at 360 meg. The game installed and now I have to learn how to play it. I followed these steps: 1. urpmi bittorrent 2. urpmi bittorent-gui 3. urpmi mozplugger (Failed on real-codec dependancy of mplayer) 4. Went to website of download and clicked on file. 5. Firefox asked to open of save. Open was with bittorent gui so I chose that.
