[newbie] mozilla toolbar and KDE / gnome font size problems
I've just installed mandrake 9.1 and I'm having 2 problems. the first is with mozilla. it's impossible to add any bookmarks to the personal toolbar folder. I've tried doing exactly what the help file tells you but it just ignores me. I've found some mail in the archive from someone with exactly the same problem but no-one managed to suggest anything to solve it. does anyone have any ideas? alternatively does anyone know where I can get a build of firebird 0.6 with good anti-aliased font support that will work with mandrake 9.1? in fact that would be the ideal solution. the second problem is with font sizes in KDE and gnome. about 1 time in 4 when I start my machine all the fonts on the desktop are extremely small. restarting normally fixes the problem but then it will come back again unpredictably. any ideas? thanks chris Want to buy your Pack or Services from MandrakeSoft?

[newbie] Printer problem
I'm using Mandrake 9.1 with KDE 3.1. Printer is an Epson Stylus Color 400. Using OpenOffice 1.0.2. Printed for the very first time in Linux. Set off the print job, and the printer immediately started to print a load of rubbish - symbols , blamk pages . And it won't stop - except when I push the "off" button. If I turn it back on it just starts of again. I have tried every thing to stop it. Closed OpenOffice. Shut down and restarted - when I restart the printing begins at the login screen. I have gone into Windows in between Linux sessions and the printer is fine there. Is there a cure to this? Help. Please. Cheers, Chris K Want to buy your Pack or Services from MandrakeSoft?

[newbie] XMMS and cdread plugin
I've just about got my system backup again so thought I'd enjoy some cd's. Loaded up xmms and here are the problems. 1. Looking back at the archives I found Ann's message about loading the cdread plugin. Found it at rpmfind although it was the cooker version, I downloaded and installed. Bringing up the preferences in xmms the cdread plugin is nowhere to be found in the input plugin list although I've confirmed its in the correct directory under xmms. 2. I can't even bring up a list of the .wav files on my cd with xmms although .mp3s show up fine after I mount the drive. WAV files play fine with KsCD player though. Any ideas where I need to go from here?

Tom, went to the site for my mobo, and checked on which model supports hardware monitoring, seems mine doesn't (I assume this is what I'm looking for)? My model is a FIC AZ11E. If I'm looking at the wrong thing, let me know and I'll continue my search. Which FIC motherboards support hardware monitoring? 1/1/2001 A: Hardware monitoring has two categories, those are CPU Thermal Protection and CPU/System Fan Control. The former checks when the CPU temperature is above safe range and sends a signal to turn on the system fan and slow down the CPU speed to let the temperature to go down. The latter lets the motherboard detect the voltage value and monitor the CPU fan and system fan working status.

I been to MDK Control Center, checked for a setting in Evolution to use a preferred browser but couldn`t find anything. I`m assuming a value needs to be changed in one of the config files, yes ? -- Chris Blake Office : (011) 782-0840 Cell : 083 985 0379 I heard a definition of an intellectual, that I thought was very interesting: a man who takes more words than are necessary to tell more than he knows. -- Dwight D.

Below is a little script that was provided to me by 'bones' earlier this year.
I've been using it and have't had any problems. Hope this helps.
-
For converting mp3 to wav, here is some little script. (it's an early one so
don't judge me by it - it's patchwork from others scripts, but it did it for
me)
You need mpg123 and sox installed (which I guess is pretty much standard).
Put it into a text file and make it executable with 'chmod u+x mp32wav' and
move it into /usr/bin or something in your PATH.
If you start the script with "mp32wav *.mp3" in a folder with mp3s or from the
Nautilus script folder) it creates a subfolder "wav" and converts all mp3
into wav files with the same name exept '.mp3' becomes '.wav'
---
#!/bin/bash
# mp32wav
mp3file="$*"
mkdir wav
for file in "$@" ; do
#echo "$file"
wavfile=`echo "$file" | sed s/\\.mp3/.wav/`
printf "%-50s %-50s\n" "$file" "--> $wavfile"
# to encode wav-->mp3
#lame -h "$file" "$mp3file"
# to encode mp3-->wav
mpg123 -b 1 -s "$file" | sox -t raw -r 44100 -s -w -c2 -
"wav/$wavfile"
done

[newbie] Fwd: Kernal Panic
Sorry if this comes in twice, but I'm not sure if the first post made it out before a kernal panic set in. Anyone have any ideas. As an addition I've since raised the case even with a window, removed the side panel, ran memtest, reseated the memory, reseated the connections on the drives. I have a temp monitor on the front of my case and the temp probe stuck in between my dual bladed cpu fan. The temp reported is now about 108f which is probably about 118 or so. Its been pretty hot here in Central Texas today about 90 and I've had the case on the floor probably not getting enought air. The bios also reported the case temp as 100F while reporting the cpu as 147.

I do it all the time with FreeBSD, Debian, and RedHat but for some reason it never works with Mandrake. And the update step at the end of install often fails to bring up the network.

XP is a piece of crap, ME is a piece of crap, W95 and W98 were pieces of crap,
but W2K is not a piece of crap. When they did W2K they did something right,
and even some of my hardest-core Solaris/BSD droogies admit grudgingly that
W2K was a break from the mold.
Re: Mandrake: I fervently hope it lives forever because I happen to really
like it and of all the distros I've installed, I think it's the friendliest.
I know that doesn't carry much weight in this community and I don't mean it
in the sense of "just click" and " you don't have to read any books" or even
"watch the pretty lights, kid"; I mean Mandrake makes me want to get more
involved, while others like Debian seem to have a deliberately high barrier
to entry for the newbie.

[newbie] File copying from CD question
Not sure whats causing this, maybe its the way I originally burned the cds, but when I'm copying files from a cd to the hd after a few files I get "The file or directory /mnt/cdrom2/(dirname)/(filename) does not exist. If I reload the cd I can copy a few more files then I get the same thing. This happens no matter which cd drive I use. Any assistance would be appreciated. BTW these are mp3's I'm trying to copy back to the hd. -- Regards Chris Registered Linux user #283774 @ http://counter.li.org 5:52pm up 3:20, 3 users, load average: 0.40, 0.16, 0.16 Want to buy your Pack or Services from MandrakeSoft?

Actually, what I was going to do is see what format a regular audio cd was in. I'd like to take some of my mp3 cds and convert them (if possible) to play in my car cd player. I think I read a while back the this can be done by converting them to .wav files, but I may be incorrect. If so, I know I can use mplayer to do this. The audio cd will load up and play with KsCD but not XMMS or Mplayer, any reason why neither work? -- Regards Chris Registered Linux user #283774 @ http://counter.li.org 7:45pm up 25 min, 1 user, load average: 0.33, 0.23, 0.24 Want to buy your Pack or Services from MandrakeSoft?

Re: [newbie] Creating & Installing SSL key for HTTPD
I did the same process a while ago and it worked for me. Only I'm at work right now and I can't access the details of what I did, because they are on my machine at home... however, keep reading: It may be that after "Starting httpd:" apache is expecting a passphrase for the SSL certificate. You can then enter that directly yourself or there is a conf command which can run a script to input the passphrase (which, again, I can't remember exact details of.) When I get home I'll remid myself of how to do it.

Re: [newbie] supermount :-/
Mr. Auld, I am not an expert and the following may be slightly incorrect, but AFAIK ... The supermount option applies to removeable drives; the noauto option applies to harddrives which are always "present" or "connected". The only way to disable supermount is to explicitly deselect "supermount". This forces the user to manually mount and unmount the removeable media. To do the same for harddrives select "noauto". On Friday 27 Dec 2002 3:04 pm, Angus Auld wrote: Greetings, I think I have come to the conclusion that supermount is a "great mystery" to me. Perhaps the name should be changed to "maybemount"? It seems to work at times, but then other times it doesn't. This is not a satisfying relationship. I am also not having great success using MCC to try to disable supermount. I selected the "user" mode instead of "noauto" (should I have chosen "noauto"?). After confirming my choice of options, I exited MCC. Then I discovered that supermount is still enabled. :-/ -- Chris Edwards Send email for alternate contact information email | aim | icq | postal | cell | phone Want to buy your Pack or Services from MandrakeSoft?
