 Brian, I think you did what I did a month or so ago -
 you mucked up a file association!

 Try running kcontrol  Components  File Associations  application
 select add at the bottom of the known types list
 pick application from the pick menu
 enter octet-stream
 leave everything else blank.

 I believe that is what someone told me when I had
 the problem.

 Hope this helps,

Nope - didn't seem to 'take' when I tried that.
You got me thinking the right way though I think.
I found a file 
/home/me/.kde/share/mimelnk/application/octet-stream.desktop
I made a copy, then deleted it.
Things seem ok so far - I'll post again if something else appears broken.
Thanks
Brian

You are finding all the bugs today :-)

That one is caused by a file on the contrib mirror being incorrect. 
It is only a warning, you can carry on and continue to install packages and 
ignore the warning.

If you want the warning to go away permanently remove the file 
/var/lib/urpmi/list.contrib

and then edit the file  /etc/urpmi/urpmi.cfg and remove the line reading :-

list: list.contrib

Those files can only be edited by root user. An easy way to manage files as 
root user is to open a terminal, enter su enter to become root, then type :

konqueror 

And a konqueror file manager will run as root. To edit a file right click and 
select kedit to open the file in a text editor.

Are you saying that it doesn't go ahead and install the RPMs after you click 
okay? If it doesn't then I don't know whats happening. Otherwise:

This is a well known bug and:

rm /var/lib/urpmi/list.media

usually fixes the problem.

 Any suggestions on which mirror to choose?  I've gone through a bunch and
 keep getting the same error.

I should not say this, but the rediris mirror in Spain is great.
It is never congested and has really high throughput. Trouble is, if I keep 
telling people about it, it will become as bad as the others.

Re: [newbie] error message received from Cron Daemon (FIXED)

2002-08-17 Thread Steve Jeppesen

For anybody interested, after doing a google newsgroup search I was able to
track down this duplicate entry for syslog.

The duplication happened to be in /etc/logrotate.d/syslog
so after removing the second entry all is well.

Ah, the joys of Linux!

[newbie] error message received from Cron Daemon

2002-08-16 Thread Steve Jeppesen

For the past two days, I have received this message from Cron Daemon
with the subject title Cron root@dads nice -n 19 run-parts /etc/cron.daily;

error: syslog:22 duplicate log entry for /var/log/syslog
run-parts: /etc/cron.daily/logrotate exited with return code 1

I remember a couple of nights ago, while playing some yahoo games (java) my
MD8.2 system locked up completly, ctrl-alt-del nor ctrl-alt-backspace could
recover it so I had to reboot - which in turned fsck had to be run because
of some errors it found during boot.  

That all went smooth (appears to) and mandrake fixed itself??  correct
term?

But now this message about duplicate entries, what does it mean?
I looked thru /etc/cron.daily and did not find any duplicate entries.
Contents of /etc/cron.daily;
0anacron
logrotate
makewhatis.cron
medusa.cron
msec
postfix
rpm
slocate.cron
tmpwatch

There is nothing in /var/log/syslog during the time those messages were sent
except for the postfix messages about sending the messages. Also appears
that syslog hasn't been rotated for some time now, since Aug 4th.

Does anybody have an idea what this error message means and how to fix it
and also where I can find some listing of what the error codes mean?

TIA
Steve

Re: [newbie] error message on boot up

2002-03-24 Thread Michael

This is obvious to an old hand. When a directory name starts with / that means
the top directory. It is the one that contains /bin, /etc, /home, /root and
/var. That is why you can only write a new directory in it as root or su (super
user).

nope, initrd is in the root dir ( / ) so that's why you type 
mkdir /initrd ( note the slash at the beginning of the dir's name )

my comment about that textfile was just to ensure the need for this 
dir. simply disregard it if you found it confusing. you just
need that directory on your /.

Could be you are out of space...   :)

Seriously though... I did find my log files were growing rather large because 
the logrotate utility was not running. It should run once a day by cron, but 
in my case for some reason the syslog was defined in the /etc/logrotate.conf 
file twice causing logrotate to bomb out, with the result being huge log 
files.

Yes, I have seen this error before,

I believe it is caused my the fact that when you enter one of your

the error.

[newbie] Error message when opening console in mdk7.2 using KDE2.1 Beta 2

2001-03-30 Thread Romanator

Hi everybody,

For some bizarre reason whenever, I click on the console icon I get the
following message:
Font' -misc -console -medium -r -normal -16-160-72-72-c-160-iso10646-1'
not found
Check README.linux.console for help. Where is the readme for the
console?

If I click on the console icon again the message disappears. Very
strange. Has any one experienced this?
Ever since I reinstalled last time, I have been getting this message.
Any help would be greatly appreciated to resolve this annoyance.

[newbie] Error message in L-M 7.1

2000-10-30 Thread L. H. LOO

Greetings,

(1) After install, I used sndconfig to configure my Es688 sound card, 
during the process there was error message, sample sound was not heard. 
After  reboot, sound card is activated, but the following appears during 
bootup, how to delete lines marked with '=' ?

(2) There are two entries in Time Zone for Singapore :
a - Asia/Singapore

Why double entries, any difference between the two, or just entered for the 
fun of it ;-)

Please advise. TIA

It appears that IRQ 9 is already allocated to another device.  Run sndconfig
again, and this time choose an IRQ that isn't used (5 is usually o.k. for a
sound card), but check :

kde control center  System Information  Interrupts   to see what is available.

Hope this helps.

Dear Anyone, I have been doing alot with trying to get my ethernet SMC EZ
card ISA 1660T to work. A very helpful person has been helping me along,
however I think I made a goof somewhere. I edited the /etc/conf.module
files to work with my nic card and I think I goofed in there. After that
my zip drive no longer works and I did a modprobe -a today and got the
error message: conf:1 unknown keyword "Alias". 

When I try to mount my zip I get the error message that /dev/hdc4 has
wrong major or minor number. Does anyone have any ideas about this? Your
help will be greatly appreciated. Thank you. Marcia

[newbie] Error message-Missing Component?

2000-05-13 Thread Wade

After I reconfigured my settings in linuxconf to get kppp 
to dial out, I get this error message;

Linuxconf can't locate the command /usr/sbin/diald
on your system.

The command is either missing (not installed)
or installed with a different name or path.

Do you want to change the configuration for the command?


I read the help file regarding this and am uncertain as 
to whether or not to change the configuration for this 
command without knowing what is the correct to command 
change it to. 

Additionaly when I installed Mandrake I installed all
of the packages or a full and complete install of 
everything.

Thanks,

b/web
Wade




[newbie] Error message

2000-03-16 Thread Wayne

When I try to do a floppy format using KFloppy I  get the error message "cannot
create filesystem on /mnt/...Device or resource busy" or something along those
lines.  What does this mean?  It is not busy, there are no other programs
accessing the floppy and a brand new disk is in there.  Also, when I try to
write programs to it (less than 1.44MB) I get another message that says similar
things.  Any help?

 Just a diagnostic message from the X server.  It can be safely ignored.
 You'll find that if you switch between X and a text console, it'll print
 one for each time you switch.  Odd, but normal.
 
 Enjoy!
