Try deleting your ~/.enlightenment/user_autosaved.cfg and see what
happens.

 Hi,
 
 If someone could help me with this problem it would be much appreciated.
 
 When I tried to install a theme in Enlightenment I suddenly couldn't
 access any of the menus or even log out. After restarting the 'puter and
 logging back in I could see the theme had stuffed the Enlightenment
 installation. After uninstalling and reinstalling the RPM's when I try
 and log in as a user the error message:
 
 missing required data in "999{"
 
 appears and I can't log in. However when I log in as root Enlightenment
 comes up properly. What does the error message mean and how can I fix
 it?

Re: [newbie] 7.2 -- XFree -- is my monitor going to blow up?

2000-12-07 Thread Cody Powell

Try starting x like this:
startx  myxlog
and then once x starts, just open up that myxlog that you created and on
the top line it should say which version started on that command

 greetings all.
 just installed 7.2 yesterday.  the jury is still out  but it mostly seems to be 
working.  my printer works at last tho, happy 'bout that.
 
 but the question -- i don't quite know if i can describe this so you will 
understand, but i will try.  =)   the very left edge of my monitor (as i'm looking at 
it) is displaying a very thin slice of whatever is actually about 3-4 inches from the 
left edge of the screen.  thus if i move a window to the very edge, that slice of it 
will disappear under the display of whatever is 3-4 inches over.  hmmm...  is that 
english?
 
 i have everything shut down now, but do y'all think this might cause actual damage?
 
 i had no problems under X3.x.  i think i'm using X4 now --("think" they all ask, 
while installing i went for 4, it installed, but didn't work out.  it kicked me back 
and i went for 3, it also installed (so both of them are on the system) and looked 
ok.  when i type check with the -version switch from a terminal it says version 4, 
but how do i know for sure which version is actually running?
 
 i have been thru numereous attempts at reconfiguring both monitor  video card, so 
far i can't get rid of this strange effect.  i'll have to plug at it some more.
 
 so the main thing is how do i check my running vesion of X.
 
 thanks much

Re: [newbie] unable to parse /mnt/var/lib etc. L-M 7.2

2000-12-06 Thread Cody Powell

I have had this error a few times.  Normally I got it when I was trying
to use a CD I had burned myself with a CD Rom drive that was very
particular about what kind of CDs it would take.  The way I fixed it was
to burn it again on a different brand of CD, or switch out the CD Rom
drive for one that is a little more accepting.

 He y folks
 help me out on this if you can..
 I've been trying  to install 7.2 complete onto a nice new clean 15 G
 hard drive. I get past the partioning stage to the actual install and I
 get this message:
 unable to parse /mnt/var/lib/urpmi/hdlist/cdrom1.cz.
 When I click OK , I get returned to the disk partioning section.
 I have no idea what this message means or  what I can do about it.
 thanks
 
 Bill.




Re: [newbie] Mandrake 7.2 and Sounblaster Live!

2000-12-06 Thread Cody Powell

For some reason, a lot of people have problems with SB Live! cards in
linux, and it's lots of weird, different stuff.  If no one here can give
you a good fix, I would suggest http://opensource.creative.com as a good
place to start looking for a solution.  You can search their mailing
list/read the documentation/download new drivers there.

 HardDrake is showing the correct card: Creative Labs SB Live!
 Anyone else has/had this problem? and a solution for it?
 Thanks,
