Re: [newbie] 9 gmc's on the KDE desktop(FIXED)

Anyone else with another idea? Thanks Don Don, I have had this problem and here is the the permanent solution. There is probably a bug in the scripts that write and modify the /$(HOME)/.kde/share/config/kmserverrc file. This file seems to contain the session information if you have used the save session option on logout. The problem is that when you uncheck the save session marker it doesn't seem to delete the session information so when you log back on it all just comes back again. If you look at line 6 of the file below I suspect (although I haven't proved it) that it is thiss command that is wrongly formatted. The problem is compounded by the fact that there is a save session option in the kde control centre which if turned on may save the session anyway with one realising it (irrespective of whether you use the save session option at logout). The option is under system session manager. I haven't tested it but if I were you I would turn off the save session option there too. To correct the problem delete the stuff in the file as shown in the before and after files below: Close your session and restart and that annoying quirk should be gone. BTW it took me months to get so cross with it before I decided to investigate with scant regard for breaking anything. Regards, Colin Close BEFORE!!

Re: [newbie] install header files for sound?
Jennifer, The first thing that you want to do is go back into the aureal directory and do make clean. Then do a ls /usr/src/linux/include/linux and see if you have a bunch of files in there that end with .h if not. Then do cd /usr/src and then do a ls command to see if your kernel-headers are loaded. If they are, and I thnk that Mandrake loads them by default the do ln -s /usr/src/kernel-headers-2.4.3-21mdk /usr/src/linux . That will create the symbolic link that you need for the Aureal driver. You need the program called gawk installed, install that. Then all you need to do is go back to the aureal folder and do the make install?? and play your tunes.

Jen, If you click on this url, or paste it to your browser http://ftp1.sourceforge.net/aureal/au88xx-1.1.2.tar.bz2, hold down the shift key and then click the mouse the driver that you need will start to download to you system.. I have mine in my root directory. After you download the driver, make sure that you have the kernel-headers loaded. To check if your kernel-headers are loaded do this ls /usr/src/linux/include/linux and your screen shoud have on it things like 802_11.h, a.out.h fd1772.h fddidevice.h loop.h lp.h and a lot of files like that. If your kernel-headers are not loaded and you have the CD's do uname -r, that will tell you what hernel that you have, then do a urpmi kernel-headers-version and that will load the kernel-headers. Once that is done go to the dir where you downloaded the au88xx file to and do bunzip2 au88xx-1.1.2.tar.bz2. then do tar -xvf au88xx-1.1.2.tar and that will open the file to a directory called aureal do cd aureal and then read the README or do ./make install20 and the driver should install. If you get screens and screens of errors that means your kernel-headers are loaded wrong. I use the Aureal 10 and it is great.

Re: [newbie] Mandrake Update fails every time
Well this email wanted me to use the Software Manager. I tried it on the list of Security updates that I had downloaded. Software Manager did not work it hung, tried the Package Manager, it hung (would not work) tried the MandrakeUpdate, it hung (would not work), tried rpm -Uvh package name it did nothing. At this time I was thinking I really had a hosed system. I fell back to a windoze soluation, rebotted, system had only been running 7 hours, and everything worked. MY POINT Jay did you try and reboot and then try the Software Manager. It is a nice tool and makes installing very easy. One thing that I did notice though is that it does a install, not a upgrade.. i.e. the package that your replacing does not get removed as in a upgrade. Another nice tool is the urpm it is a lot like the apt-get from Debian and is really nice to use. You can find info for it on the Mandrake web page, or from www.google.com/linux do a search. --- Jay DeKing [EMAIL PROTECTED] wrote: I use Mandrake Update as a reference tool only. It has never once removed the previously existing version of anything I have updated. What I do is open a terminal window and login as su, then run Mandrake Update to see what needs an upgrade; I open a browser window and go to whichever mirror Mandrake Update is looking at; download the rpm's and go to my su terminal. There I do an rpm -Uvh on the new rpms. This updates them properly, and you get usable feedback if there are conflicts or dependency problems rather than the terse update failed message that Mandrake Update gives too often. After doing the manual installs, go back to Mandrake Update and tell it to update the package list; the ones just installed will no longer be on the list. I've tried the rpm --rebuilddb command and it makes no difference, because if the older rpms are still there Mandrake Update won't notice the new ones. It looks at the oldest version currently installed. I wish I could take credit for coming up with this procedure, but I had the same problem when I first started using Mandrake and another kind list member clued me in to the limitations of the Update program. Jay Civileme wrote: You need to remove the resources you do not want to use from the lists if you want the update to work properly. Then you must specify the external source precisely. There are very few updates available as yet, but I would suspect that if it is aaying already installed on packages defnitely not there, then rpm --rebuilddb from a command line in a terminal window, logged as superuser, migth make all the differnce. If you really want to update, I recommend you use software manager to REMOVE the files that will be updated, then in a separate process, to install the new files. In some areas, rpmdrake/software manager is still very much bleeding-edge. As far as WinNT comparisons, hmmm. I wasn't aware that you could update 2000+ packages over the web with it.

I downloaded the iso images through IE, and burned them on a W98 platform usin Easy-CD Creator (the Adaptec one). It looked like the right setup. Is the idea that it will boot from the CD when the machine is restarted? If so, what about creating a floppy to boot with, that then will start the install from the cd? My box is a formerly naked PC, with ASUS P5A board, 392MB RAM, CyberDrive CD, Adaptec AVA-1505 SCSI card for the CD. When this SCSI/CD combo was on a former machine, I was able to use it to install RH6.1, but it needed a boot disk. After installing RH, it was never able to access the CD again, and I got busy with other stuff. The current box runs W2000, but less so in the future, hopefully. If I want to make a floppy to start the installation, where do I do that? Can I use one from the Mandrake 7.1 installation? I need a few suggestions. Thanks in advance. William __ Do You Yahoo!?

Re: [newbie] No mouse and keyboard response in mandrake logon
Mike, I think and that is think your first error was installing Mandrake from windows.. You should install it on start up before it gets to windows. Do you have your CD selected in BIOS in the startup configuration? My Bios is set to start in this sequesce CD, floppy then hard drive. Also di teh installation take you through the configure for XF84Config? Did it ask what type of moue that you had and to specify a /dev? for a PS/2 mouse the devce is /dev/psaux. For a PS/2 keyboard I don't know, sorry. IF it did not take you through the XF86Config setup, once you get to the login screen press ctrl+alt+F1 and that will take you to a console. Once there log in as root and then type xf86config and that is a text configuration, answer the questions and then save. After you save type shutdown -r now and that will reboot your system. If you responded to all of teh questions correctly you should have your mouse and keyboard. Don --- Mike Langlois [EMAIL PROTECTED] wrote: Hi i am having trouble with linux mandrake 7.1 .
