  I can't get a connection on usb either, and when I try on the serial port
  I get a message "missing serial device permissions--check permissions
  (see manual)".  Does anyone know how I would set the serial device
  permissions? Thanks for any help,

 There is probably a better way however I run gphoto as root.

Re: [newbie] configuring LILO.

2001-01-15 Thread Luk Vermeylen

make it /dev/hda1 or /dev/hda?

   Klilo keeps telling me my Hd is too big for it to reconfigure the boot
   sequence, and although I've edited lilo.conf I still can't get
 
  my machine to
 
   boot into the win partition by default, lilo seems to be
 
  ignoring the edit
 
   I've done. Have I missed something?
 
Here's the first bit of lilo.conf:
 
  boot = /dev/hda
  map = /boot/map
  timeout = 50
  prompt
message = /boot/message
default = linux
 
That last line should read whatever you've name your Windows
  partition in /etc/fstab.  If you've done that,  it's still not
  working, try editing the file again, but this time, as root, run:
 
  # /sbin/lilo
 
That, instead of using klilo, should do it.

 .. and so I thought too. Unfortunatly I'm getting the same error message
 that I got from lilo about
 the HDD being too big. Any other ideas?

 Well, folks, it is that time of the development cycle where we
 traditionally (actually this is a brand new tradition) seek a few brave
 souls to act as testers for our next distro.

 This time, all you need is bravery and a computer system to try this out
 on. We are finishing testing protocols which will lead you through the
 testing steps; we have software that phones home with your tester number
 and your hardware configuration, and we are building a web site to post
 results and opinions.

 For the first time, we are looking for more than bugs to fix.  We are
 looking for ratings of functionality that we can share with the community,
 and with the developers and maintainers of the packages, even those we do
 not do ourselves.

 To enroll, just email me.  Tell me whether you have a fast connection and
 if not, send a postal address.  Oh, and make sure you are able to dedicate
 a little time the month of Valentine's Day.

 Well the pay isn't great ($0) but you do get my personal assistance via
 email to configure your computer to the next release.

 Civileme

Re: [newbie] Realplayer 8 is now installed!

2001-01-01 Thread Luk Vermeylen

Op maandag 01 januari 2001 20:57, schreef u:
 Okay, I finally got it. Here is what I had to do (in case someone else runs
 into this same problem):

 As su/root:

 rpm -e RealPlayer (even though it was "expired")
 (there is a deps issue with a Realplayer rnp? RPM as well)

 Set the file below to be executeable.

 ../rp8_linux20_libc6_i386_cs1.bin (I d/l'ed this from Vics ftp site)

 follow installation prompts

 After its installed, do the same for your normal user account

 Add /usr/local/RealPlayer8 to my $path in /home/darklord/.bash_profile

 Delete the Realplayer G2 .kde link. Otherwise, everytime I did a "startx" I
 got a couldn't find mime type error. (I started to use the menu editor but
 it said it was not installed?)

 Thats it! I can once again play *.RM files locally as well as access them
 from web sites.

 Thanks to Kevin, Mepth, Paul, and Vic! ;-)

You can also install the mime types and plugins by executing the 2 .sh files 
in the /usr/local/Realplayer dir
type
sh mimeinstall.sh
sh pluginstall.sh

and restart your graphic shell
