Guess I've been lucky but I've never had trouble with filenames with spaces under Linux. UNIX in general, including Linux, does not normaly like spaces in file names. If you stick to GUI tools, you may not run into any problems. But when you are typing in the names yourself, especialy with the CLI tools, you have to ether escape the space, or quote the name. This is because a space is normaly the seperator between file names, or parts of a command. Mikkel -- Do not meddle in the affairs of dragons, for you are crunchy and taste good with Ketchup!

Re: [newbie] cd into file
Hi Rosemary, Did you try doing a cd /home/rosemary/L then tab to finish it off. I know that spaces are treated differently. Whenever I forget exact directory names I just cd to the first letter and let the tab key finish it off. It will give you all possible matches from that point forward. HTH, Bill W.

Re: [newbie] cd into file
in addition to the other suggestions, prefacing the space with a \
(ie Linux\ Stuff) when you reference it should make it available.
also, enclosing anything with spaces in it in single or double quotes
('/home/rosemary/Linux Stuff/rpms') should also allow access.

I have looked everywhere I can see and see no problem. Also, when one goes to configure your desktop-sound-sound system, there is a button to test MIDI. Nothing happens if I press there.

[newbie] CD playing on Upgraded KDE 3.3.2 broken.
Hello, I wonder if someone could help me with a broken KDE 3.3.2 please. The story is that a working 10.1 Official with KDE 3.2 was upgraded using Konstruct to KDE 3.3.2 which appeared to go ok. Before the upgrade kaudiocreator, Amarok and cd playing worked ok. However after the upgrade these are now broken. In general the sound works ok, startup/shutdown sounds play ok. KAudioCreator fails with could not start process unable to create io-slave: klauncher says unknown protocol audiocd. Amarok gives an error, could not find any sound-engine plugins. Mixer complains that library files for kcm_kmix.la not found in paths. In kde control centre, the menu option Audio CDs crashes with library files for kcm_audio.la not found in paths. I installed KDE 3.3.2 in /opt/kde3.3.2 and have not removed kde 3.2, could this be my problem? I tried adding /usr/lib/kde3 to my paths which is where kcm_kmix.la and kcm_audio.la are, but no joy. Any help appreciated.

[newbie] cd/dvd drive not recognizing another disk on insertion
Hey all. As a new convert, I'm perplexed at several things, but this thread is about I can read/write to the first disk that I put into my cd/dvd burner drive. But as soon as I take it out, and insert another disk, Konqueror tells me that there are zero files on the new (data filled) disk. Now I thought I had this problem licked by being careful about mounting/unmounting, but that doesn't seem to work 100% - to be clear, mounting/unmounting was working when just reading the data disk, and then unmounting it before ejecting it. Then I tried to make a ISO in K3B and then I got the zero files when browsing to the data DVD again. Problem is also solved by restarting Linux, but that obviously isn't a long term solution. I am just going in through mnt/cdrom. Do I need to make a mnt/dvdrom or something? Background: drive is a LG 1610 dual layer DVD burner Mandrake 10.1 Community on x86_64 PS On google, reply to list thanks. Want to buy your Pack or Services from MandrakeSoft?

I'm not positive on this, as my SATA drive also uses SCSI emulation. IOW's, the modprobe.conf line above might not be needed on your system.

[newbie] CD ROM's Not Mounting Up
Hi All, I went up to 10OE yesterday, and now my CD ROM drives arent automounting. If youre installing something, and Mandrake asks for something, it will open the drawer and load from the CD ok. However, stick a cd in, and that's it, no desktop icon, and if you go into /mnt/cdrom/, just a blank page. How can I turn Automount on? I have looked, but cant see!

I have the answer at home, but i'll try to remember here: Read the release notes for the either the 2.6 kernel or Mandrake itself, there's a small paragraph on supermount or automount that says they are disabled by default, and some other kde/gnome usable thing replaced it. Just do a text search for supermount or automount. I uninstalled that (i don't use gnome or kde) and re added the supermount stuff. HTH, eric Want to buy your Pack or Services from MandrakeSoft?

[newbie] CD burn verify

I burned each one to CDROM without any reported problems, but I'm having a heck of a time trying to install on particular box I've got (crashes randomly at the point of installing software). This isn't the first time I've installed MDK 10.0 (network upgrade from 9.2), and I'm beginning to suspect the CD is corrupt so I googled for some method to compare the CD against the ISO, but came up with scratch.

Re: [newbie] CD burn verify
This isn't the first time I've installed MDK 10.0 (network upgrade from 9.2), and I'm beginning to suspect the CD is corrupt I have major problems when installing 10 from scratch (ie freshly formatted drive) also. I have 2 different CD sets from 2 different sources here, and the same happens with both. Normally it all goes wrong after the files have been copied, and it prompts you to enter the new root password. Enter it, and click ok, and the whole system just locks up, and the only way to get it back is to reboot, and then the install is totally shot, as X hasnt even been installed by that stage.. The only way I have found around it, is to intall 9.2 first, and then upgrade from 9.2 to 10. Unless anyone has any better ideas?

[newbie] CD sound only from Totem
Hey all, Weird problem, I can play CD's no problem in Totem (not my favourite), but not GnomeCD, GRip, or ROX-CD. All are set to use /dev/hdd as the CD reader (actually my DVD drive).

Hi Stephen:
Let me see if I can answer your questions in order.
I've tried burning with K3B, and when I had a problem there I went to
the console and tried using cdrecord. As near as I can tell, K3B was set
up and configured correctly. The syntax from the cdrecord command is as
follows:
cdrecord -v -dev 0,0,0 /home/techie/Xandros Desktop 2.iso
the contents of 'lilo.conf' are as follows:

You might want to try several different CD's in the drive before concluding that the drive isn't working. My understanding is that there is code built into the 2.6 kernel that tries to detect what kind of media is inserted into the drive and this may get confused once in a while.

[newbie] CD problem FIXED!
Ok, so heres the basics. I have an HP 8100+ CD-RW drive and basically, every time I tried to access it, the desktop would crash (For around 15 minutes, and then come back) and basically the entire operating system was sluggish and sometimes programs failed to start. Today I bought a bog standard Samsung 52x CD-ROM drive for as cheap as dirt and not only does Mandrake run smoother and faster, I can actually access CD's! Im guessing Mandrake just didnt like the HP CD-RW drive, because right now everything's fine! Want to buy your Pack or Services from MandrakeSoft? Go to http://www.mandrakestore.com

I just installed this and burned a cd with it. Thanks Joe. Actually, thanks goes to Todd Slater, who turned me on to Liferea, then sent me his RSS feed list, which included Lockergnome, which had an article on that app. Kewl, glad that's still there. The Lockergnome Linux Fanatics and Linux* feeds have been discontinued. On another note, I'm compiling a list of feeds of Linux users who blog on the topic of Linux somewhat regularly. Not so much developer-type blogs, but end-user blogs. Todd Want to buy your Pack or Services from MandrakeSoft? Go to http://www.mandrakestore.com
