[newbie] Digital cameras and Linux
I thought I had remembered seeing this in a few previous posts, but can't quite remember. Is there a website that lists what digital cameras will work with Linux fairly well? I just bought my wife a Fuji Finepix A101 camera, and would like to know if it works with Linux in case I decided to borrow it and play with it .. :) Much appreciated!

Re: [newbie] Driver insallation problems with Cisco Aironet 350 PCIwireless network card wth mandrake 8.2
I use the Cisco Aironet Wireless card on my laptop here at work, and the only thing I had to do to get it to work was to simply plug it in .. it automatically loaded the appropriate drivers and installed the necessary kernel module to be able to access it. I didn't even have to go to Cisco's website and download any drivers. This was the easiest hardware install I have ever done, on ANY OS.

I have searched for this file but have not found it. I have looked at my installed RPM and it shows that it is installed.

[newbie] Trouble still w/CUPS and Samba
I am having trouble printing from my Mandrake 8.2 laptop using CUPS 1.1.14 and samba 2.2.3a .. Our domain printers are managed by some printer accounting software that will not allow anyone outside of the domain to print to our printers. I was able to successfully add my Linux box to our domain, but can not get CUPS to work with the printers. Using the localhost webpage, I am able to add a printer (although I'm not quite sure how to correctly type in the path to the printer .. have tried smb://domain.network/queue and also smb://domain/server/queue, but neither worked), but when I try to print a test page or any other print, the job just sits in my local queue, and never travels to the print server. I also tried to use KUPS to add a SMB shared printer, but does the same thing. The job sits in my local queue, never to be sent to the print server. Does anyone have any suggestions? Thanks!

[newbie] Printing to Window$ domain printers using CUPS and Samba
I'm still having trouble getting printing to work using MDK 8.2 using CUPS and Samba. I think I may have narrowed down the problem though. When I add a SMB shared printer using the wizard in KUPS, I have noticed that CUPS tries to use my laptop's integrated network card (eth0)to send the printing through. I am using a wireless network card (eth1) for my networking. Is there a way I can tell CUPS to use eth1 instead of eth0? Thanks for the help!

[newbie] NVIDIA rpm
All, Thanks to everyone who responded to my dilema of trying to get the NVIDIA_kernel RPM for my LM 8.1 system. I did as everyone suggested and downloaded, rebuilt, and instlled the source RPM. Things seemed to go well as the packages installed, with only the customary warnings that NVIDIA warns you about when installing the packages. I made the necessary changes in my /etc/X11/XFconfig-4 (i think that's what it's called, i'm not at my linux box) as suggested by NVIDIA's website, and then rebooted. Things booted up just fine, but as soon as X started up and showed the KDM login screen, the machine completely locked up, forcing to press the reset button to get out of it. Anyone have any more suggestions on how to remedy this situation? I've looked the the Xserver logs, and nothing seems out of the ordinary. It shows that the NVIDIA kernel, the NVdriver, and even the glx libraries loading ok (at least it doesn't show any errors about loading them). Does anyone have any other suggestions to get this to work properly? Thanks! Terry Want to buy your Pack or Services from MandrakeSoft? Go to http://www.mandrakestore.com
[newbie] NVidia RPMs for LM 8.1
Does anyone know where I can get the NVidia_kernel RPM for an NVidia GeForce2 MX/400? The only one NVidia offers is an RPM for an i686, but I can't use it since I don't have an 686 processor. I have searched RPMfind.net, and they didn't have one either. Thanks! Terry Want to buy your Pack or Services from MandrakeSoft? Go to http://www.mandrakestore.com
[newbie] Sandisk USB CompactFlash Reader
Does anyone have one of these working? I have plugged it into my USB port, and Linux seems to recognize it, even mounts it (as Floppy2 or Floppy, I can't remember which), but when I try to access it through either a command prompt or thru Nautilus, it either tells me that it was unable to access the device, or it tells me nothing at all, like there's nothing on the CF memory card (which there is).

[newbie] Using Xfce
Good evening, I've been reading about people using Xfce on the Linux boxes on this list, and I decided I'd give it a try. I installed it off of the LM 8.1 CD's, and logged into it. It looks really good, and I would like to make it my default window manager of choice. I do have one problem with it though. Just about everything I click that makes any kind of change to the environment (font settings, sound settings, any kind of settings, even trying to quit) results in a popup that says Error, cannot create file or cannot write file or something to that effect. Nonetheless, when I log in again, none of my settings remain. Is there some tweaking that needs to be done to it? Any suggestions would be greatly appreciated.

Re: [newbie] Problems with RPM
Thanks for the answers, but I have tried those, and they still don't have any effect on Software Manager. Things work just fine at the command line, just not in Software Manager. If I try to use rpm -e packagename from the command line, it just tells me that the package is not installed on this system. Software Manager is being very peculiar. Anyone else come across this sort of problem?

[newbie] Problems with RPM
I want to install some programs on my computer, but when I try to use Mandrake's Software Manager, it keeps telling me that the packages I'm trying to install are already installed. I can verify that none of the packages are installed by using: rpm -q --all and even install them using the command line, but Software Manager just doesn't want to do it. Any suggestions? Terry
