Re: [newbie] Cirque Glidepoint Cruise Cat touch pad
Hello, I'm using the touchpad on my notebook (compaq nx9005) without any additional driver. Mandrake9.2 installed the touchpad as a standard PS2 mouse. It works great.

I can't look at it either but with Mandrake hardware detection routines run at boot up and if you constantly plug devices in and then unplug them, the hardware detection routines are going to continually try to change your configuration, including removing some drivers, installing others repeately. For some devices, it is often better to just hook them up, get the drivers working and then turn off the hardware detection service so that your configuration just stays the same until you decide to change it.

Also, if you want to make the folder writeable for all users, type su in the terminal, your password, then type 'chmod 777 /path/to/folder'. --Marc Just as a tip to include: the gksu package allows you to run apps as root with a little gui to type in your password like kdesu but it's not a kde app. For those who don't use KDE there is a non-kde replacement :) to install just urpmi gksu. Then you can go to Run Command (or like in icewm, use the command input on the taskbar) and just put gksu programme name. I just found it myself a few days ago.

When I click on a link in Kmail it opens it in Quanta... Is it me alone or what but for the 15 days experience of linux I have only problems... 1/ My personal folder is not accessible any more like the desktop configuration panel even I tried the update-menus -v comand 2/ I can not setup a printer 3/ I can not install a package like wine or Firefox because rpmDrake is not working anymore... 4/ And now the e-mail links are not opening in Konqueror... A good thing I have Win XP on the same computer to keep on working. So what else can go wrong? Bye Christophe Open kcontrolComponentsFile Associations. The open text, and then click on HTML. On the right hand side, move your preferred browser to the top of the list using the Move Up button. Close kcontrol and enjoy. Did you open it as root or as a normal user? As root, kcontrol will show you a blank list, until you run menudrake once for the entire system. Open a console, su - to root, and run menudrake. When you're asked, select System which will update the menu for all users. SAVE the refreshed list, exit , and open kcontrol as any user and change the preferred browser to your selection as i mentioned earlier. You will need to set the perferred browser for each user on that system, as it is specific to each user. Did you try from a su control panel rpm --rebuilddb updatedb update-menus -v If you did that and still have the problem then some of your KDE is messed up. You might try sticking in the 1st CDROM and doing an upgrade. Hope this has not already been mentioned. Want to buy your Pack or Services from MandrakeSoft? Go to http://www.mandrakestore.com

Hy, I wanted to tell you that I was impressed with the quick answers from linuxant for installing my driver for the notebook. It works now at full speed... That's why you get many messages from me:-) It is worth the $14. Don't relaxe! 1/ Is it possible to have the powermanager installed like under windows so I can see where my battery is? I have a compaq nx9005. 2/ Also when I shut down the computer I have to press the power button at the end. Is thre a way to get around it?

[newbie] Witch package to update???
Hello, I followed your instruction (I didn't understand a thing but it worked) What I don't get is this You can then run Mandrake Update GUI to get your updates, or the Mandrake Install GUI to install software from the online sources. The 'contrib' source has 100's of applications not on your CDs, and the 'plf' source contains all those packages that are illegal in certain countries with weird laws. What I did: I opened the RpmDrake 9.2 and I selected the buggs. But witch one solves the desktop bug??

I went to the link you gave me at the bottom of your mail but I didn't get it! What shall I do to limit the damage? Thank you Christophe Its a bug! The rpm package on the update mirror fixes it, but in order to get the update you have to define an update source. That 'Easy urpmi' page gives you the instruction to define a source. Go to http://plf.zarb.org/~nanardon/index.php Tick the boxes for 'contrib', 'updates', and 'plf' and choose a mirror from the drop down list for each one. Press the button and you will see three command line commands to be entered. To save you the trouble here are the commands to use :- urpmi.addmedia contrib ftp://ftp.rediris.es/pub/linux/distributions/mandrake/9.2/contrib/i586 with ../../i586/Mandrake/base/hdlist2.cz urpmi.addmedia plf ftp://ftp.club-internet.fr/pub/linux/plf/mandrake/9.2 with hdlist.cz urpmi.addmedia --update updates ftp://ftp.rediris.es/pub/linux/distributions/mandrake/updates/9.2/RPMS/ with ../base/hdlist.cz (Each of these 3 commands is on a single line) To enter the commands open a terminal window and type su enter to become root user. Then copy/paste the first command into the terminal by highlighting with the mouse to copy to clipboard and press the mouse wheel to paste. So long as you are online you will then see a file being downloaded which is a database of the contents of the online software repository. Repeat for the other 2 sources. You can then run Mandrake Update GUI to get your updates, or the Mandrake Install GUI to install software from the online sources. The 'contrib' source has 100's of applications not on your CDs, and the 'plf' source contains all those packages that are illegal in certain countries with weird laws.
