RE: [newbie] cannot get cups to work
I tried this but alas it did not work. I really do like using linux but it is very annoying to have to reboot into windows in order to print. does anyone have a suggestion? I will try almost anything right now tim ps. TFTD(thought for the day): I couldn't fix your brakes so I made your horn louder [EMAIL PROTECTED] wrote: I had a similiar problem.

Re: [newbie] Logitech wheel mouse scrolling
I figured out the problem. I did not have permission to write to the imwheel.pid file. so I logged in as su, gave myself permission, and now it works like a charm. Thank-you very much for all your help. I know that you must get annoyed at all these little mistakes that us newbies make. Thanks again tim Ken Wahl [EMAIL PROTECTED] wrote: On Tue, 15 Aug 2000 [EMAIL PROTECTED] wrote: That was one problem. I am very new at this and I did not know I had to make it an executeable. I am no longer getting the error message, but imwheel still doesn't start automantically. any other suggestions anyone? First: Are you sure it's not running? At a Konsole or Xterm type "top" this will show you all the current processes. Then type "u" and it will ask for a user name. Enter your user name and press return. If imwheel is started it will show up in the list. Press "q" to quit. This way you will know if it is not started or started and just not working properly. Second: Thanks to Alan we have a better way to autostart Imwheel. Go to your autostart folder and right click, choose New|Application. Change the name of the kdelnk from Program.kdelnk to imwheel.kdelnk and press OK. A new window will open with four tabs (General, Permissions, Execute, Application) and click on permissions tab. Here make sure the Exec box is checked for user and move on to the execute tab. In the execute tab write the path to imwheel (/usr/X11R6/bin/imwheel -k) without the parantheses. You can also click on the cog icon to change the icon you want to use but it is not necessary. Click on Application. Type "imwheel;Imwheel;" without the quotes in binary pattern. In comment you can put something like "starts Imwheel" or nothing. Under name put imwheel. You can ignore the two boxes at the bottom with the arrows. Once you have done all this you can hit OK and you are done. You have created a kdelnk (similar to windows shortcut) in your autostart folder which will start imwheel for you when you log in. Thanks Alan! Get rid of the script to start imwheel and just leave the new kdelnk. Then logoff and log back in and look at the output of the top command. We can go from there. -- #-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-# | Ken Wahl, CCNA [EMAIL PROTECTED] PGP Key ID: 3CF9AB36 | | PGP Public Key: http://www.ipass.net/~kenwahl/pgpkey.txt | #-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-- Powered by Linux Mandrake --=-=-=-=-=-=-# -- Registered Linux user number 186192 - The very ink with which all history is written is merely fluid prejudice. -- Mark Twain -- Get your own FREE, personal Netscape Webmail account today at http://home.netscape.com/webmail/

What kind of error are you getting? Not to ask a dumb question, but did you remember to make the script executable? Imwheel works when you type it in at the console, right? /usr/X11R6/bin is in your path, right? If not try typing it out in the script as #! /bin/bash xterm -e /usr/X11R6/bin/imwheel -k exit 0 Save it to ~/Desktop/Autostart and then chmod 700 ~/Desktop/Autostart/"scriptname" to make it executable. If this doesn't work then you have my apologies as it works for me. It starts imwheel everytime I log in. Maybe my system is just plain weird. It wouldn't surprise me.

On my 7.0 installation imwheel is SUID. I start it with the following script in ~/Desktop/Autostart #! /bin/bash xterm -e imwheel -k exit 0 For reasons I haven't figured out yet this works while just putting the path to imwheel does not. My guess is because the program is SUID but thats only a guess. A previous poster suggested putting an actual copy of the imwheel executable in ~/Desktop/Autostart. I have not tried this. The drawback to my method is that you occasionally see a xterm window open for a split second when KDE is loading. Good luck. -- #-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-# | Ken Wahl, CCNA [EMAIL PROTECTED] PGP Key ID: 3CF9AB36 | | PGP Public Key: http://www.ipass.net/~kenwahl/pgpkey.txt | #-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-- Powered by Linux Mandrake --=-=-=-=-=-=-# -- Registered Linux user number 186192 - The very ink with which all history is written is merely fluid prejudice. -- Mark Twain -- Get your own FREE, personal Netscape Webmail account today at http://home.netscape.com/webmail/
