[newbie] Kmail can't send to mailing list
Hi, For some reason, Kmail can't be used to send to this mailing list. I use the same email address here but every time I send, it return. I can send email to any individuals but not to mailing list. If you receive this message, it is sent from Evolution. I have used evolution for a while but when I start installing a new key board to type international characters, the screen fonts and buttons look big and ugly so I have to switch to Kmail. Any one can help me with this? Thanks, Vinh N. Pham Want to buy your Pack or Services from MandrakeSoft? Go to http://www.mandrakestore.com

[newbie] Question: how to get rid of ridiculously large font on the non-KDEapplications?
Hi, I have a problem with system fonts on the non-KDE applications. All in a sudden, all the non-KDE application appear with very large fonts on the menu and on the buttons. The button, text box are also expanded. I'm not quite sure what happen to them but when I look at the FAQ in the KDE website, it said I should uncheck the apply KDE settings to non-KDE apps check box under Look and Feel and Style. The problem is that I can't find that option anywhere in the entire Control Panel. Please let me know how to fix this. There is also a suspicious message when I start up Linux. When it try to set the system font to lat1-16, it says that file execvp doesn't exist. I'm not quite sure what this means and whether it relate to the other problem or not. I'm using Mandrake 9.0 so it is KDE 3 Thanks, Vinh N. Pham Want to buy your Pack or Services from MandrakeSoft? Go to http://www.mandrakestore.com

I've found Drakfont will sometimes hang for ages, irrespective of the version. Sometimes it eventually gets the job done; sometimes it has to be put out of its misery. Are you sure you didn't install new Windows fonts between tries with Drakfont -usally it's a font it doesn't like which makes it hang. Sir Robin Want to buy your Pack or Services from MandrakeSoft? Go to http://www.mandrakestore.com Hi, I did install some fonts for Windows between the 2 tries. However, I forgot what font I installed. All of them works fine under Windows though because right after I install fonts, I tested it. That come to the question how I can manually, or semi automatically convert fonts to Linux. What I mean by manually is what specific command line I have to type for each step of the process. That way it would be easier for me to spot out the font that cause the trouble. For the semi automatic approach, I edited the /etc/fstab file to remove the mount to the NTFS file system and copy the fonts to a ext3 directory. Drakfont some how stubbornly refuse to install the font from my directory. It keeps saying it can't find any windows font in directories /win*/fonts. Do you have any suggestion? Thanks Vinh N.

[newbie] What kind of program we can run using Win4Lin?
Hi, What kind of program we can run on Linux using Win4Lin? I would expect some program like Office to work but how about program that demand some kind of special communication with the hardware? For example a DVD writer program, a sound card program. My sound card (Turtle Beach) works in Linux but the voice is so low and flat. I'm wondering whether using Win4Lin, I would be able to run the setup program from Turtle Beach to get a better sound? Thanks, Vinh N. Pham Want to buy your Pack or Services from MandrakeSoft?

Re: [newbie] Updating Mandrake.
Bernard Victor wrote: I am running Mandrake 7.2, but would like to upgrade to 8.2, which I presume should be better. However when I tried to do an upgrade, I lost all my Wine settings. I need to run Wine, so I can use a couple of Windows applications, which do not appear to yet have Linux equivalents. They are Quicken and Agent. It appears that Wine now stores its config files in a different location and uses a different syntax. Is this correct, or can I still use my old configure file. I also lost read/write access to my windows partition except when logged on as root. There did not appear to be an easy way of changing permissions, but perhaps I could not find it. I tried editing my fstab file but then go errors on boot up. Again can I preserve my present fstab file, or is there an easy way of giving users full access to my windows partition. I hope someone can find the time to answer these queries, or perhaps the only interest is in people using versions 8 onwards. Bernard Victor [EMAIL PROTECTED] Want to buy your Pack or Services from MandrakeSoft? Go to http://www.mandrakestore.com I never use Wine before so I can't answer that question, but if you lose read/write access to your windows partition, you can fix it by setting the correct permission to the mount point (/mnt/windows for example) Vinh N.

Apparently they're still working on it, but no direct sound or direct 3d or the like will work for now. Otherwise, it's fantastic software. Though a bit pricey, it does a beautiful job at running just about any windows software you can throw at it. Todd Vinh N. Pham wrote: Hi, What kind of program we can run on Linux using Win4Lin?
