There is a Shockwave for linux, which I use. But yesterday, I went to the

for the next few hours. I just put it on mute and this morning it seems to

 I am trying to re-compile a recent wine release from a src.rpm file.  The
 ./configure script trips when it tries to find the file X11/xpm.h, insisting
 that I should install xpm and xpm-devel packages, and then quits.  The
 packages xpm-3.4k-1 and xpm-devel-3.4k-1 are both installed on my system and
 the file /usr/X11R6/inlcude/X11/xpm.h exists.
 
 On someone else's suggestion, I tried to CFLAGS ="-I$CFLAGS
 /usr/X11R6/include".  Then ./configure returns:
 
 checking whether the C compiler (gcc /usr/X11R6/include ) works... no
 configure: error: installation or configuration problem: C compiler cannot

 I also tried to CFLAGS ="$CFLAGS /usr/X11R6/include"...(without the -I) and
 ended up with the same response I initially had.
 
 Any thoughts?
 Paul Kaplan
 

Use -I /usr/X11R6/include/X11. The -I path must contain the full path where
the .h file exists. If the code says:

#include "xpm.h"

You need the path as specified above. If the code says

#include "X11/xpm.h"

/usr/X11R6/include should be enough. If I remember correctly, all X11 stuff
is supposed to be stored in /usr/X386. In that case, it *may* be posibble
for you to link like this:

ln -s /usr/X386/include/X11 /usr/X11R6/include

Maybe.

 I had the same problem and i haven solved it, but you can read the .PDF files
 deselecting in Preferences - General - Smooth text and Monochrome images ( I

I didn't do the Monochrome stuff but I did the text smoothing thing and it

 If you don't yet have the square there then open the KDE

There's something similar in GNOME. It's also under the applets menu. Bring
up the Preferences menu and it allows you to choose two keyboards and you
can toggle between them by clicking on the applet. In the newwer version, it
looks like you can have more than one keyboard defined.

To do a screen shot with xv:

- Start xv

- Click on the Grab button
- Insert a delay value. This is nice if you need to popup a menu or

- Select the "Hide XV windows" option if you want xv to get out of the way
- Click on Grab (or on Autograb if your delay is  0)
- If you selected Grab, click on the left mouse button to get a screen shot

  right button cancels the grab.
- If you selected AutoGrab, put your mouse in the window you want to grab
  and wait until the computer beeps.
- The xv image window should show you your screenshot.

P.S. it's possible that it won't work on a 24-bit screen. I just tried it

 Hi all,
 
 I continue to find references to "suid"ing a file to make

 Could someone please post an explaination and some examples of
 it's use.
 

Uhm... Hmmm... That's a pretty basic Unix question. You should look up any
decent Unix resource and read up on this: it'll explain it better than I
can.

Basically, suid means that the program runs as the owner of that said
program. It's usually used to give users more priviledges when running a
particular program. A prime example is sendmail:

-rwsr-sr-x   1 root root63228 Jan  3 22:24 /usr/sbin/sendmail*

The "s" in the permissions mode says that sendmail is setuid root. This
means that any user running sendmail will run it as root, thus allowing that
user to access certain directories which he/she normally wouldn't have
access to.

In the case of sendmail, you will see that only root has the right to put
anything in /var/spool/mqueue, which is where the mail queue is located.
When you send mail with sendmail, sendmail will actually write data in that
directory on your behalf, by running as root.

You can also do the opposite: suid a program to restrict priviledges when it
is run but I haven't seen that much.

 Hi,
 
 This is a real newbie question: how do you configure the GNOME log out
 button to ask/not ask for confirmation when logging out? This is for October
 and/or 1.2.

Found it!

[newbie] Acrobat reader from Adobe's site

2000-06-01 Thread laurent . duperval

Hi,

When I try to read a PDF file using Acrobat reader, I get segfaults and this
error message:

Exited with error code: 0x400e0009.

Anyone know why this happens? I'm using Mandrake 7.0.

Thanks,

L

 Hi all,
 
 is there any good offline news reader for Linux which can handle
 different news server at once?
 
 KRN is for offline reading, but I only can use 1 news server.
 
 Thanks for your answer!

Pan for GNOME? http://www.superpimp.org/ I've also had some success with
tin.

 can I find those decoders, please?
 

Do a search for uudeview. Isn't this installed with the distro? If not, add it
as a request.

[newbie] Floppy problem

2000-05-30 Thread Laurent Duperval

Hi,

I'm on a laptop that has a removable floppy. It's never install and that
causes commands like df and find to "hang" while they are trying to locate
the floppy. How do I make Mandrake 7.0 know when the CDROM is in place and
when the floppy is in place? They both use the same slot and only one can be
in there at a time.

Thanks,

L

[newbie] Question and suggestion

2000-05-30 Thread Laurent Duperval

Hi,

I have a question and a sugggestion stemming from that question:

I use my laptop as adhcp client and a Samba client, not a server. When I did
my install, non of the client-side tools for Samba or DHCP were installed
but all the server-side stuff was. Did I do something wrong in my
installation? Where do I need to change my config to set my machine up as a
client? I'm using Mandrake 7.0.

My suggestion is for all the client stuff to be installed when initialising
the system.

Thanks,

L
