Re: [newbie] USB Mouse problem
Jason: i forgot to remark that the security level is that i put IN THE INSTALATION, im NOT talking about change the security level once Mandrake is installed. Im talking about installing mandrake again, with a lower security level. good luck Ivo --- It's EEvo El Lunes, 28 de Marzo de 2005 11:37, Jason Oakley escribió: Ivo Perich wrote: What happened in the Mandrake installation?

I dropped my security from HIGHER down to STANDARD. Still no good :-/ Should I try lower still? :) Want to buy your Pack or Services from MandrakeSoft?

[newbie] associations lost in KDE: incomprehensible!
I can't save the file associations in KDE. when i associate a type of file to a executable, it works fine until i reboot. After that the association the file is opened with the default program. I thought that may be some kind of problem related with chmod or chown, i did a chmod -R 755 . in my home directory and a chown -R me:me . It doesnt work and i'm tired of being changing all the time the associations in order to see pdfs with acrobat and .doc with M$ Word... I dont know what is hapenning here Any ideas?

I have to log on using keyboard only, then use Cursor keys and enter and tab to change the mouse to something else, eg PS2 then I can change it back to PS2/USB and everything is fine. Next time I boot up, it is broken again. Tried changing /etc/X11/XF86Config by hand to /dev/input/mice but that does nothing. Tested all in root and in normal user mode (which asks for root password when I start mcc) but no help. Just have to set it again each time I start up.

Re: [newbie] I need to know how much traffic i get on a net interface
I checked iptraf out and it is great, IMO., but the problem is that i need to export the data (the total traffic until now from each IP) to a file. (to a script, actually) and the log file doesn't help me because iptraf logs every packet, not the summary that i need to proccess. Can I do this with iptraf? or maybe another software?
