[newbie] KDE/Gnome broken in 8.2 for me
tryed 2wice now to install 8.2 on my box that was previously running 8.1 no problems at all (and 8.0) before that, and it all goes smoothly enough until i get to restarting and logging in.. kde gives me a error saying the dcop server is not running, and gnome just returns to the login instead of actually logging me in. kde apps also are able to be run but dont open properly, giving errors of could not open network socket and then again says check to see that dcop server is running again. so i am stuck using blackbox (which isnt tooo bad i do admit but the lack of desktop icons is kinda annoying , tho im sure they can be created somnehow that i havent discovered yet) when i would much rather be using KDE.. any help[ gladly appreciated... mikecola ...Who's the big winner tonight...?

I bought it being a newbie not knowing how to use ISO files didn't feel like d/ling it. I've since d/led 8.1 but want to practice on 8.0 for a bit first So my question is I can use Licq as Root. I have attempted to change the permissions on Licq (which file is the *.exe, so to speak!?)...and well it just won't stick... That is i go to start Licq as a normal user, it won't do it again...by default on install..fresh install of 8.0 Man, Licq will only work for Root!? mmm not much of a help with this problem but maybe try to use gaim. i use that with 8.1 and i find it far superior as now i can talk to friends on icq/msn/aim with no dramas at all. i was getting all kinds of lil glitches with licq on 8.1 but i did have it running on 8.0. unfortunately i cant actually remember what i did to make that happen sorry. mikecola ...Who's the big winner tonight...?

[newbie] re: disk information now mdk 8 cd version?
the list said Switching to ReiserFS requires making a backup of all your data, reformatting the partition and restoring your data. I suggest that you do a fresh install of Mandrake (Freq 3 was just released so now is a good time), using the installer to format your partition as ReiserFS. You can even modify your partitioning structure if you so desire. i bought my mdk 8 cds at a computer fair... any idea of how to tell exactly which version of 8 they are? like the freq# or is it likely they are just the basic release of 8? i have 8 installed at the mo and am about to reinstall over the weekend and change all the partition sizes.. but id like to get the latest updated stable version.. without having d/l it as i cant do that due to still waiting for the adsl geezer to come do my install. thanks mike ...Who's the big winner tonight...?

RE: [newbie] Getting the network to work
i don't know if anyone else mailed you re this (or if this will go via the list but the NIC (if it is an ISA card at least)you have to use a DOS prog to set the IRQ /memory settings.. i'm not sure i understand it but the process is described in better detail here; http://www.linuxdoc.org/HOWTO/Ethernet-HOWTO.html i have a card ISA based on the same chipset and it took a bit of playing around and i can't remember what i did but it works now. mail me off list if you need the dos program and can't find it.. mike cola From: Edward Barrow [EMAIL PROTECTED] SUBJECT I've just installed Mandrake 8.0 and it was very easy - compared with the last time I tried Linux, about four years ago, when getting X running took a whole weekend. But I've run into a problem with my network; I want to run SAMBA on the linux box (AMD K6-3, 450MHz, 256M) and connect a variety of other machines to it, and have tried the excellent O'Reilly trouble-shooter at http://www.oreilly.com/catalog/samba/chapter/book/ch09_02.html, which has led me to believe that: The problem seems to be getting Linux to recognise the NIC (a realtek 8139).I think the right kernel module is 8139too, and if I do lsmod it appears but is unused. but ls /dev/eth0 returns no such file or directory, and eth0 doesn't appear in lsmod either. I have put a line in /etc/modules.conf alias eth0 8139too, and that doesn't seem to do the trick. HardDrake correctly identifies the card (presumably via a PnP bios call); but Linux doesn't talk to it. Has anyone else had similar problems, and if so what did you do to solve it? (the network worked fine under Win98 btw so it shouldn't be a hw fault). Edward Barrow ...Who's the big winner tonight...? Mikey! Mikey wins!

RE[newbie] java. why doesn't it go? (still no joy)
thanks to everyone who has helped me with this. i've now managed to extract the tar file but the instructions say to add the location of the sdk to the PATH settings. Where do i find path to modify it? i'm slowly but surely getting the hang of this. Looking forward to getting this up and running now. mike I have not followed this discussion, but if you have a tar.gz file and you unzip it first, then you don't need the 'tar xvzf' command, but just the 'tar xvf' command (since it is just a .tar file) To unpack a tar.gz in one command you could use 'tar xvzf' See 'man tar' for more information. Concerning this java sdk .bin-file: This is a shell script, which automatically extracts the files for you, so try chmod to 755 and then execute it.

[newbie] java. why doesn't it go?
i'm currently attempting to study java at college but whn i try to compile i get the message error: Cannot find type 'javax/swing/JOptionPane'. is this due to LM 7.2 using an old JDK ? what version of the JDK is standard in 7.2? i've tried to upgrade to ibm's jdk 1.3 but i think the download was corrupted as i get the error (in Gnomerpm) that the rpm doesn't appear to ba an rpm.. i downloaded the JRE and the SDK, is there a specific order that they should be installed in (i'm going to try to d/l them again)? i also d/loaded Forte, the ibm IDE and while it installs fine i can't seem to find it in the menus and it has a folder in the /usr/local/ directory but i don't know how to run it from there. All answers to these problems gladly appreciated. espescially since i want to use my pc to write up a project due in a couple of weeks without having to resort to using my crap old windoze box. thanks mike ...Who's the big winner tonight...?

Re: [newbie] java. why doesn't it go?
yeah, i have downloaded these but can you tell me what is the difference between a FCS file and an rc1. what do these acronyms mean? i d/l both types in the jdk, but how do i uncompress a bz file. i know it has something to do with bzip but i'm unsure of how to install from these as i don't know what they are. thanks Date: Wed, 16 May 2001 13:59:22 -0700 (PDT) From: Todd Flinders [EMAIL PROTECTED] SUBJECTTo: mike cola [EMAIL PROTECTED], [EMAIL PROTECTED] Okay, first of all, Mandrake comes installed with kaffe which is basically a clone of Java 1.1 (I think). It's old and tends to be rather inconvenient these days. You want to remove that before you install the new java. Well, maybe you can have both, but I always remove kaffe. rpm -e kaffe You may have to do: rpm -e --nodeps kaffe Now I would install the newer java. Most people agree that the Blackdown java is one of the best for Linux. On the Konqueror site they actually recommend Blackdown over the others and state their are sometimes problems with IBM's and Sun's latest 1.3. I use Blackdown and so far it has been very successful for me. When you install the SDK, it should install the JRE for you. Therefore, you should not need the jre.

RE[newbie] java. why doesn't it go? (still no joy)
i used the bzip command below and that gives me a straight .tar file but when i try to tar -zxvf that it says gzip: stdin: not in gzip format. any ideas what i might be doing wrong. i also have a j2sdk-1_3_0_02-linux.bin file which i got from somewhere elese, any ideas on how i use a bin file? i'm just starting to learn how to use the file system and sometimes i still get totally lost. .. for instance , when i go to the list of packages are there a HUUUGE amount of packages installed but they don't appear on the menus or run when i type in the program name at the command line? how do i just start a prog from a menu browser (like to say run an .exe in windose from file manager when there is no icon/menu entry)? Date: Wed, 16 May 2001 15:44:09 -0700 (PDT) From: Todd Flinders [EMAIL PROTECTED] SUBJECTTo: mike cola [EMAIL PROTECTED], [EMAIL PROTECTED] Actually, I wondered about that too. rc1 will mean Release Candidate 1 which means it is not the final release. It is past beta testing, but not considered final. I don't know what FCS is. It had the more current date and it is what I am using. To uncompress a .bz file do the following: bzip2 -d somefile.bz __ Do You Yahoo!? Yahoo!
