RE: [newbie] Konqueror - The KDE Crash Handler

2000-12-15 Thread Abraham Pinzur


Not sure what it means, but I've gotten similar errors on several occasions
both in Konqueror and also when exiting KDE's Control Center. I'd be happy
to hear if anybody's got any tips.

 Subject: [newbie] Konqueror - The KDE Crash Handler




 I use Konqueror as internet and files browser and the error Handler often
 close the application with the SIGSEGV 11, it is a bug in Konqueror as
 reported in the general tab of the error handler. The following error is
 shown in BackTrace tab:
 ...

 does anyone know how to fix this bug? is it a configuration bug?

 Perhaps your Konqueror is flaky...

Let me just ask then - how do I go about making sure I've got the latest
iteration of, say, Konqueror? Mandrake Update doesn't list any updates, but
does that mean anything?

Real newbie question, here, I know...

 In most computers IRQ allocation on PCI cards is SLOT dependant.

 I'm sure a few people here will think otherwise, but it's true.

 You can change the IRQ both cards will use, but the change will occur in
 unison... I.E. both will go to 10 at the same time, etc.

 What you need to do, is move one of the cards to another PCI card slot.

 Some vendors now provide "maps" of the IRQ allocations on a per slot
 basis...

 I wish they all would to clarify things for a lot of people...

 For example the AGP slot and the first slot (closest to the AGP slot)
 normally share the same IRQ no matter what you do.

 Slot two w/slot 5, etc... actual hardware may vary...

 Subject: [newbie] Resolving resource conflicts in Mandrake 7.2 complete


 Hi,

 I'm new to the list and have a question regarding resource conflicts in
 Mandrake 7.2 Complete.

 I have a system that I built, to act as a gateway/firewall for my cable
 modem. The components are as follows :

 ASUS P5A B motherboard with 1010 Bios version
 64MB PC 100 RAM
 Diamond Viper 550 PCI video
 Creative 24X IDE CD ROM
 Creative SB 16 ISA card
 2 x 3COM 3c509B TX PCI NIC cards

 My problem is that when I look in DrakConf at the NIC properties there are
 Splat marks (!) on both NIC cards. A look at the properties reveals that
 both cards are attempting to use the same memory resources (both
 are set to
 use IRQ9). The change resources button is grayed out so it
 doesn't look like
 I can set the properties (or test different resources) here.

 I'm guessing that I need to change something in the BIOS. Does anyone have
 any suggestions on the best way to get round this problem ?

 Thanks, in advance,

 Mark Lee

  about this...how come so many re-installs?

 Mostly - it's called - 'Oh darn it - that's fuxed it!!

 I get myself into a position from which I can't recover and due to
 our wide time differences it's easier to re-install and recover from
 backups, normally around 1 to 2 hours.

 It's hell waiting for the rest of the world to wake up, this usually
 happens during my evening when all you guys in Gore County are wide
 asleep!! (Big silly grin!!).

 I have to admit that I genuinely believe that I'm winning this battle
 as it it's Thursday AM right now and the last re-install was on 24th
 November. Overall I'm pleased with what I'm learning here without
 hassling with trying to keep up with the Jones's as far as distribution
 levels go.

 At this point I'm about ready to start planing a shift of mailing
 systems
 away from Netscape. It serves well but I haven't yet found a way to get
 Netscape to pick up all mail from all email accounts in one fell swoop -
 I have 5 accounts which I monitor!!

 When I used windows I had a bunch of batch files which switched the Ns
 preferences on the fly, but so far haven't sorted my thoughts on how
 to do it with Linux - I assume that I have to do some messing about
 with fetchmail, sendmail, postfix. But I have a fair bit of reading
 to do yet.

 It's coming - but any and all suggestions are welcome with the proviso
 that my preference is toward a GUI mailing proggy with threading. The
 reason for this quite simple - my vision is failing and it's easier to
 mess with fonts and colours in the GUI's.

 Cheers

  Also, you can always download the code and fix it

 I think a lot of times we use apps and OS interchangeably.  While the the
 Linux OS is very stable and robust, there are many Linux programs that are
 not (Netscape 6 for example).  This has nothing to do with the OS
 but rather
 with how robust the code is which is solely the programmer's
 task.  And this
 speaks to the point of view of who cares about the OS if the apps
 running on
 it aren't usable.  Linux programmers tend to be more hackers than
 "programmers".  I've noticed that most linux apps do a lot less error

 Admittedly, I don't know entirely what I'm doing yet. And more
 importantly,
 the platform itself is appreciably more robust than anything I've
 ever seen
 from MS. I'm not griping about the platform.

 Actually, I'm not griping about the applications, either. I
 salute all those
 whose efforts have made my experience thus far so effortless. My point is
 merely that there's more work to be done. A truly robust
 application will be
 able to handle any input (even 0 bees) gracefully.

 Is that not a fairly uncontroversial sentiment?

  it's not the command is   #mount -t msdos /dev/fd0 /mnt/floppy
  
  3.  Put a DOS formatted floppy in the drive and type:
  
  dd if=/dev/hdb5 bs=512 count=1 of=/mnt/floppy/boot.Lnx
  
  Remember, if LILO ain't on hdb5, you'll have to  change the command to 
  reflect where it actually is.  What you did is copy LILO to a 
 DOS floppy and 
  named the LILO file"boot.Lnx"
  
  4.Close Linux and reboot into W2K
  
  Now you need to write the floppy's boot.Lnx to the W2K "boot.ini"
  
  5.  Open Explorer and copy the boot.Lnx file to the root of 
 your W2K drive
  
  6.  Using Notepad, open the "boot.ini" and add the line
c:\boot.Lnx="Mandrake 7.2 "  
  to the end of the file
  
  This is what mine looks like:
  
  [boot loader]
  timeout=10
  default=multi(0)disk(0)rdisk(0)partition(1)\WINNT
  [operating systems]
  multi(0)disk(0)rdisk(0)partition(1)WINNT="Microsoft 2000 
 Professional" /fa
  c:\boot.Lnx="Mandrake 7.2"
  
  7.  Right click on "My Computer", click on "properties"--this 
 brings up the 
  System Properties window.  Click on the "Advanced" tab and the 
 "Startup and 
  Recovery" button at the bottom.  If the first check box is 
 unchecked put a 
  check in it and then set the number of seconds to display 
 before booting into 
  the Default OS.
  
  8.  With no floppies in the drive, reboot and you should see 
 your operating 
  system choices.  
  
  For anyone using WINNT, you might have to write your boot.ini 
 file, because 
  your's may be blank.  Then at step #6 you'll need to drop to an 
 MSDOS prompt 
  and type:
   C:attrib -s -r boot.ini
  
  Then write your boot.ini file and reset your attributes by typing:
 C:attrib +r +s boot.ini

Dunno, but I got the same error. Maybe it's a passing server anomaly...

RE: [newbie] RE: Windows can't be written in VB

2000-11-30 Thread Abraham Pinzur


 Technically, WinME is Win98 without any trace of DOS under the
 covers. You
 won't find autoexec.bat. config.sys, or any of those files on a
 system with
 WinME preinstalled.

*Technically*, best I can tell, WinME's relationship to DOS is no different
from Win95 or Win98. Take it from a guy who's wasted a lot more time
exploring those relationships than I want to think about...

Basically Win9x's autoexec.bat/config.sys only affected DOS programs anyway.
MS chose to leave them out in the newest iteration, assuming (fairly
reasonably, actually) that nobody buying a new WinME computer would ever
even think of running a DOS program.

However, the dirty little secret is that if you ever have to boot off of
WinME's rescue floppy, you're right back at the DOS prompt!

BTW, I subscribed to this list under the impression that it was devoted to
an alternative OS... =)

[newbie] Creative PCI128 under Mandrake7

2000-11-30 Thread Abraham Pinzur


I'd like to know whether anybody has successfully configured Mandrake 7 for
use with Creative Labs' Sound Blaster PCI128. It's unclear to me whether the
driver for the Creative/Ensoniq Sound Blaster AudioPCI is supposed to meet
this need, although based on the link below, the two cards appear to use the
same line of chips.

Thanks in advance!
