They had one whole wall devoted to programming languages. I saw that most of the shelf space was devoted to C/C++. I found a large paperback book that also came with CD's for installin a compiler, Turbo C++ (sorry I don't remember the name). So I bought it an started teaching myself C++. It was all pretty straightforward ... at least until I got into hierarchies, classes, public and private, and so on. Well worth the effort, and quite enjoyable. The only 'connection' I had then was to dial into BBS's. Found quite a bit of resources for programming there, even local user groups I began to attend. Anyhow, I believe you can find comprehensive tutorials for just about any programming language online these days. Along with plenty source examples. No real need to buy a book, and you've already got a C/C++ compiler (other compilers are also available). I'll leave it to others with more recent experience to recommend current languages and such. I've all but forgotten everything I use to know about C++. Still, it was a priceless experience, and greatly enhanched my computer, troubleshootin skills.

Re: [newbie] DNS Name Server Issues
SOTL wrote: Hi All As some of you are aware by now I am trying to network 2 computers by use of a wireless 'my router' which is connected to a wireless bridge which gets it signal from wireless bridge [located in an office across the street] which gets it input from another router [or did before system modification which I was not party to]. The first computer is a MSI motherboard box called Reality_Check running Mandrake 10.1. The second computer is an IBM Thinkpad running Mandrake 10.1. Anyway after reading the above you began to get one of the issues - Total confusion so in that regard I shut down the wireless portions of my wireless router. I have set 'my router' for fixed LAN addressing with Big_Nate as 192.168.1.4 using DNS host Name 192.168.1.1 which Big_Nate after booting [it is a laptop] uses the preceding host name and DNS address. On the other hand I have set 'my router' with Reality_Check as 192.168.1.2. I have tried to set Reality_Check to use 'my router' at 192.168.1.1 but it keeps resetting the First DNS to be 127.0.0.1 and the Second DNS server to be 64.89.100.2 and keep using a DNS address of 192.168.1.251. I have deleted and made new connection in Reality_Check by Make New Connection Automatic - DNS Host Name = Reality_Check -Host Name = Reality_Check -. Zeroconf Host Name = Reality Check Should DNS Host Name should be Reality_Check but be name of computer or of 'my router'? Any help would be appreciated. Thanks Frank The first thing I would do is get rid of tmdns. With your setup, then last thing you want to add to the mess is the Zeroconf stuff! Just stopping tmdns will get rid of the 127.0.0.1 DNS server problem. It will also get rid of the DNS Host Name question, if I remember right. If you have the dhcp server running on the router, then just configure your connection for dhcp, with a host name of Reality_Check. (Make sure your host name is in /etc/hosts). If you do not have the dhcp server running on the router, or if you want to set a static IP address for Reality_Check, then you probably want to use the IP address of the router as your name server, and your gateway.

[newbie] info,man,documentation and TWiki
I think rikona has a good idea about discussing documentation. Recent threads... What's where Is there TWiki info on man pages? DrakeTalk list started for extended discussions Finding things in emergencies [was TWiki info on man pages?] I was wondering if TWiki its self could handle this, for instance their is Group on the cooker wiki site called Documentation (its a dead link) but perhaps if there was a Documention group people interested in putting things together on TWiki site could exchange ideas. I saw this plugin on Twiki.org http://twiki.org/cgi-bin/view/Plugins/DiscussionForumAddOn a demo http://twiki.org/cgi-bin/view/Sandbox/DiscussionForum Might end up being too complicated, not sure about maintenance.

[newbie] Firefox gone bad
Hi all, This morning firefox asked me to look for an update for the theme I was using. I clicked the update now button and things have gone horribly wrong. All the buttons etc now appear as text. But the fonts are all too big and everything overlaps. It's a mess! It's impossible to use the firefox menus to change over to a different theme. I've tried the good'ol windows uninstall - reinstall method but the new firefox install just picks up the old preferences so the problem remains. Can anyone direct me to some preference / config files I may be able to edit to get my firefox useable again. Aidan. Want to buy your Pack or Services from MandrakeSoft?

[newbie] Fixing an application--?
Hello, all. Wasn't sure how to title this post, as I've never run into this situation before. The application in question is Bookcase (v.0.6.6-1; I believe the applciation is now called something else). It's kind of a specialized thing, so I'm hoping that whatever is happening to me is a generalized problem and has a general solution. Basically, it won't run any more. I made the apparent mistake of trying to open a second data file before the first had been saved, and when I hit Cancel the program crashed. Now when I try to run it, I get the same error from the KDE crash handler that I got at the initial crash: 'The application Bookcase (bookcase) crashed and cause the signal 11 (SIGSEGV).' The following is my terminal output: Loading required GL library /usr/X11R6/lib/libGL.so.1.2 QCheckBox::property( title ) failed: property invalid or does not exist [the above is repeated seven times] WARNING: BookcaseDoc::loadDomDocument() - unsupported collection type! WARNING: Bookcase will probably crash at some point! QGDict::hashKeyString: Invalid null key QGDictIterator::toFirst: Dictionary has been deleted I went looking for some kind of configuration file, or dotfile or .directory that I thought might be related to the program, but couldn't find anything. I uninstalled the program (via RPMdrake) and reinstalled, but I'm getting the same behavior. Any ideas? All guidance is greatly appreciated in advance.

Thanks Miark and Graham for your help and for being so prompt, you're both lifesavers. Especially the tip about renaming the folder. I use the net all day at work and while I could recreate my favourites, being able to restore them to the new .mozilla directory has certainly saved me heaps of time. Aidan.

[newbie] gwenview
I've installed gwenview, unfortunately the attempted install of updated version failed and it is version 1. I can't see any of the photos using this application. I can see them in Konqueror, and find their file names in gwenview but no images appear. Been hunting around for some documentation, but not much luck so far. Any ideas appreciated.

The site is offline right now, but check it out later, very nice GUI for burning audio CD's, you can see a shot of it on my site. http://kymatica.com/software.html I am having problems accessing that URL. Anyway, for the newbie, k3b works pretty well. If you have lame installed, k3b allows you to create audio cds from mp3 files by simply dragging and dropping. Otherwise, you can use various methods via the shell. One that I always used to use was this: for FILE in *.mp3 do FILE=`echo $FILE | sed s/.mp3//g` mpg123 -s $FILE.mp3 $FILE.raw sox -r 44100 -w -s -c 2 $FILE.raw $FILE.wav rm -f $FILE.raw done This would convert all the mp3 files in a directory to .wav files. Then: cdrecord -scanbus -dev=0,0,0 cdrecord -v speed=2 -dev=0,0,0 -audio -pad *.wav Substitute the 0,0,0 for the relevant device setting for your system. This setup is for an external USB2.0 cdwriter configured as /dev/sr0. Then, after all that, remove the .wav files. cheers Duncan Want to buy your Pack or Services from MandrakeSoft?
