Re: [newbie] Core file, what is it?
Den Tue, 06 Jun 2000 skrev du: Hi Group, I found in my home directory a rather large size file, which was not there previously, called "core," and the graphic of the file looks like a bomb, with a fuse, no joke. I could not find any info or documentation on this thing. Is it safe to delete? Just exactly what is it. -- Best regards, Gary mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] Today's thought: Never argue with a man carrying a water buffalo. A core file is (If I´m not mistaking) a file leaved by a program when it crashes. Think it´s supposed to be helpfull for programmers trying to find out what happened to the program that crashed. It´s safe to delete it. Typing "file core" will show you which program the file belongs to. /Anders

Doesn´t matter if I'm root or not. /Anders I presume you didn't change anything about your keyboard in KDE ? So, look a while at DRAKconf, Control, Features; and look at 'keyboard map' and 'language'; is it set to what you selected at the install ? Eric Yes, the language is the same. Can't figure out what's wrong. Never had this problem when using RH6.0 /Anders

Re: [newbie] Keyboard Problem in X
Ok, I have a problem with X-Windows How can I write the $, ] and } in X? When I try I only get a 4, a 9 and a 0. I'm writing this in the console, and as you can see it works fine there. I just can't get it to work in X (Using KDE). I've already tries to change the usual rows in the XFConfig file, but that obvioustly didn't help. I'm from Sweden, so I'm using the swedish keyboard layout, only if I change to english layout nothing happens either. Help wanted! Anders I had the same trouble and resolved it as follows: In console type X /var/log/x.out 21 ( nothing will be happen so type CTRL-C) Then read this file with your tex editor. Probably there is a message : .. no access to /var/ Because you logged in as user and have no access writing to this. So, set the permissions to the dirs as owner and group.(not to root) Let me now if it worked. Eric Hmm, well, I'm sure it will work, but I havn't got a clue what you mean. Could you explain a little better how I'm suppose to do it? Anders Ok, in console (not in X) type 'X /var/log/x.out 21' w/c.

Re: [newbie] Enlightenment upgrade
Use rpm -U and everything should be fine Hello! My Mandrake distro came with DR0.16.3 release of E. Now I downloaded the 0.16.4 RPM release. Do I need to uninstall .3 before upgrading to .4? Or just `rpm -i' it? Thanks
[newbie] DrakConf
I started DrakConf under my own user, and checked the "save password" box. Unfortenately I entered the wrong password, so now I can't start DrakConf at all under my own user. I have to use root. Anyone knows how to solve this? I tried to uninstall DrakConf and installing it again, but that didn't work... /Anders
