[newbie] kdeinit - configuring?
Hi Does anybody know where I go in 9.2 to turn off a kdeinit service? Mine starts a 'laptopdaemon' and I don't have a laptop. I believe it is responsible for making my screen go blank every 60 seconds or so and requiring me to use my password to get back in again. _very_ irritating. :-( Thanks -- pn Want to buy your Pack or Services from MandrakeSoft?

That doesn' t mean that they aren't good competitors it's just that Red Hat has a pocket full of thousand dollar bills while they're sitting there with 20s.

Subject: [newbie] mirror speed checker
Hi all.
Here's a bash script I found looking for something
that would poll
(ping) Mandrake mirrors and return the result rated
by speed like
apt-netselect does in Debian. I hacked it up a bit
to make it
work with
the mirror list (README_mirrors) and I'm no guru
so.
I probably should've tested it before my orginal post
to this thread. Oh well. I've run into a problem.
This is what I get when I run the script:
tmp]$ sh cheker README.mirrors
Testing tr: invalid option -- n
Try `tr --help' for more information.
cheker: line 69: syntax error near unexpected token
`newline'
cheker: line 69: `then grep rtt
$tmpdir/ping$$_$h | cut -d/ -f 5 | tr \n'
This is rather confusing since tr has the valid option
of \n. Here's a copy of the script below,
TIA,
Tango
Thanks for trying it out. It worked fine for me on my 9.2 box - some
minor erroneous ping results but otherwise very helpful. I'm sorry,
like I said, I'm no guru. I had to change a couple of the grep lines
because, I think, they referred to ping message lines from a different
ping than mine. Try pinging something and look at the messages it
returns. It should say something like 'round trip time'. I think that
is what 'rtt' refers to here. Then you have to change the grep
expression to match. If your grep doesn't have a match for 'rtt' it'll
probably just die because it seems as each command must complete without
error or the following commands make no sense. Upon closer inspection I
think I posted the original version and not the one I used. I'll boot
up Mandrake to see and get back to you.

Here's a bash script I found looking for something that would poll
(ping) Mandrake mirrors and return the result rated by speed like
apt-netselect does in Debian. I hacked it up a bit to make it work with
the mirror list (README_mirrors) and I'm no guru so.
The author has a version 2 that is easy to find on google but this one
worked for me. The mirror list is below the script (130 lines) - I
copied the Mandrake web page and cut it up in a text editor (in Mandrake
9.2 :-) ).
