Re: [newbie] How do I install QT2?
Why don't I just install the Licq RPM? Have you tried yet? The RPM version of Licq .70.1 will not install because of module dependencies that it calls up. It wants QT2 otherwise it will not install. Any Mandrake 6.1 users out there get this thing to install with any success? Please share your secret.

The QT2 rpm package wasn't made to not be installed. QT2 is more "advanced" than most of the apps out there. Your only real option is to just install LICQ via RPM and forget about compiling your own. Again, I just don't understand why you HAVE to compile it. QT2 really isn't ready for current distros of Linux, AFAIK. As I understand it, QT2 is more for "beta" purposes in getting apps ready for KDE2.0, than for "current" versions of KDE apps. --- This Message was Powered by Xcel Communications Sign up for your FREE EMAIL account today at http://www.mailroom.com Give your FAX machine an email address http://www.faxroom.com
[newbie] How do I install QT2?
I am having trouble installing QT2 (qt2-2.0.1-6mdk.i586.rpm). I get a dependency problem that says I need libstdc++-libc6.1-2.so.3 That is included in libstdc++-2.95.1-3mdk.i586.rpm So I downloaded and attempted to install libstdc++-2.95.1-3mdk.i586.rpm and got more dependency errors against the following packages... pgcc-c++-1.1.3-3mdk Netscape Communicator Netscape Navigator So how do I get QT2 installed? I need it so I can run Licq 0.70.1 I am using Mandrake 6.1 Postman
Re: [newbie] How do I install QT2?
In that case the RPM for QT2 should just install just the same. But it won't. I want to manually compile Licq. I can't get past installing QT2. This blows. Postman.

From what I've read it's apparently statically compiled with the appropriate library, so you don't have to install it yourself... John
[newbie] What OS do I select for RealPlayer at www.real.com?
When I go to www.real .com I try to download the real player. It asks which OS I am using. I do not see Mandrake there. I see RedHat 5.2. That's not supposed to be compatible with Mandrake 6. I thought RedHat 6.0 was the only compatible platform to Mandrake 6.0. I installed the RedHat 5.2 version at it doesn't' launch or start up. Anyone gone to this web site to see the other options? What the heck to I do? Postman.

[newbie] HTML editors (revisited question)
A few days ago I asked if there were any good HTML editors for linux. I got lots of good replies. Let me clear up my question. I am looking for an HTML editor that I can use to create and write web pages in a graphical mode. Not a raw html mode. There are too many of those out there. Netscape is the ONLY one that I have seen that comes close (for Linux). I used to use Front Page 98 but I have migrated to Linux. So are there any HTML editors out there that are NOT limited to JUST raw HTML editing? Postman
[newbie] Linux compatible Modem and sound card WILL NOT work under Linux. Why???
My modem and sound card WILL NOT work in Linux. I have reset the bios which made everything get new IRQ addresses and such. But that just don't seem to work. I still can NOT get Linux-Mandrake fully installed. I can not seem to get the modem working after setting up the sound card. I just don't understand it. The modem works very good untill the sound card is configured under SETUP. Once the sound card is setup. The modem seems to get less dominant and stops working. Here is what I get when I type "isapnp /etc/isapnp.conf" [root@localhost /root]# isapnp /etc/isapnp.conf Board 1 has Identity 53 00 1e 1a 58 28 00 8c 0e: CTL0028 Serial No 1972824 [checksum 53] Board 2 has Identity 8b d2 b1 bd ab 31 30 72 56: USR3031 Serial No 3534863787 [checksum 8b] /etc/isapnp.conf:46 -- Fatal - resource conflict allocating IRQ5 (see /proc/interrupts) /etc/isapnp.conf:46 -- Fatal - Error occurred executing request 'IRQ 5' --- further action aborted [root@localhost /root]# One of the errors say "see /proc/interrupts". Well, the /proc/interrupts file is size zero and contains no data. Now what? My BIOS says that my modem is at IRQ 11 on COM 3 (ttyS2). Well, when I boot the computer, Linux puts out a line durring bootup that says... ttyS2 at 0X3E8 (IRQ=4) is a 16550A I don't understand how this can be possible. How can the Linux operating system see the modem at "IRQ 4" when the bios says it is at IRQ 11. The settings in Windows 98 even say that the modem is operating at IRQ 11. The bios also says that the sound card is set to operate at IRQ 5. So how could there be a resource conflict? If there is a resource conflict, why doesn't it get reported when I run Windows 98? Windows 98 says that the sound card is running on IRQ 5. That jives exactly with the bios. Windows 98 runs VERY smooth. LINUX is like a rough and rocky road. Is Linux-Mandrake 6.0 trying to invent its own bios and environment? What MUST I do to fix this mess? What information can I provide to help fix this thing? I am writing to MandrakeSoft and they are VERY slow at responding. Modem: Sportster 56K internal PnP Sound Card: Creative Labs Sound Blaster 16 PnP. Postman
Re: [newbie] Linux compatible Modem and sound card WILL NOT work underLinux. Why???
Sorry, but that don't work. I have alreay done that. I get "Modem is busy" when the correct values like that are plugged in. So now what?

I took a few big snips out of the middle of the message, it doesn't change the advice I'm going to give you. Linux does not go searching for IRQs for serial ports like Windows does. If your modem is at IRQ 11, use the setserial utility to tell Linux what IRQ your modem is using. Here's the command you'd use: setserial /dev/ttyS2 irq 11 After that, everything should be fine. If it all works, add that command to the end of /etc/rc.d/rc.local and it will be executed automatically everytime you boot.

[newbie] System not unmounting properly on shutdown.
When I shut Linux down, it never unmounts the hard drive correctly. It just hastefully shuts down. I might as well just hit the power button to shut everything down. On the following page is a fix specifically designed to address this problem... http://www.linux-mandrake.com/en/fupdates.php3 Here is what I did after downloading the appropriate files... rpm -Uvh initscripts-4.16-30mdk.i586.rpm rpm -ivh kernel-2.2.9-27mdk.i586.rpm I didn't get any error messages when installing these items. But when I shut down, the drive still will NOT unmount properly. Is there something that I am supposed to do besides run the RPM command to install these items? Postman Mandrake 6.0 user
[newbie] How do you UNINSTALL stuff???
I have seen (fist over hand) a ton of FAQs on how to install various program by compiling or through RPMs. So is there a way to uninstall? Is there a FAQ for it out there.

[newbie] Modem problems. Looks like a bug in Mandrake 6.0
When I install Linux-Mandrake, I set up the modem first under KPPP. The device is set to ttyS1. Then I set up the rest of my PPP seatings. I then am able to successfully dial my ISP. The modem (sportster 56K internal) works GREAT! The next step in setting up mandrake is setting up the sound. So I type /usr/sbin/sndconfig and the system automatically detects my sound card and sets it up. Then it says that the file /etc/conf.modules already exists and backs it up as /etc/conf.modules.bak. That's it. My PnP SB16 sound card is setup and works GREAT. Now the modem doesn't work after setting up the sound card. I keep getting "modem is busy" and I can't dial out. The sound card and the modem DO NOT share the same resources. I did not EVER have this problem in Mandrake 5.3. I deleted /etc/conf.modules and replaced it with /etc/conf.modules.bak and renamed it accordingly. The modem still don't work. Even after rebooting. What do I need to do to fix this mess? Postman

[newbie] Modem Problems modem is busy
I just installed Mandrake 6.0 last night. I tried setting up my internet stuff under KPPP. I couldn't get the modem to work. The modem is a US Robotics 56K internal (not a winmodem). It is set to run on COM3. I always get errors that say "modem is busy". I have tried all the possible devices (/dev/ttyS0, S1, S2, .) to see if that would work. I tried changing the IRQ (setserial /dev/ttyS2 IRQ :1, 2, 3, and so on..) and Still nothing. I was using Mandrake 5.3 for the past few months on this same machine until last night without a problem. All I did was put the CD in and installed. The modem worked on the first try. And Windows 98 has no problem too. This is not an upgrade that I did. I slicked the partition and installed Mandrake 6.0 from scratch. I don't see a whole lot of troubleshooting documentation about this problem (online or offline). Can anyone point me in the right direction? What do I do? Postman
