Re: [newbie] (no subject) xmms : groups and permissions

You have to be root to install an RPM You do need permission for a user to access any hardware device, but that is all sorted out automatically. You should see that /dev/sound or /dev/dsp is owned by whatever user you are logged in as. And what do you mean by choke If you start xmms from the command line do you see any error message? Which driver are you using?, which xmms output plugin? derek -- www.jennings.homelinux.net http://twiki.mdklinuxfaq.org Want to buy your Pack or Services from MandrakeSoft?

JOE snip I've used three different brands in the past couple of weeks, and so far haven't had any concern with this. The generic 700MB I bought a few months back were manufactured by the same company that makes them for Maxell. The only ones that were a tight fit were TDKs and that wasn't consistent either. Maxells, Memorex, and Fuji have all worked for the people that I've made disks for so far. Plus the generic 50 per spindle types. The Fujis came from the local Dollar Store where you can buy just about anything. Talk about a cheap operating system, the disks (Fuji Film CD-R) were $1.27 each for 3. :-) Singles usually aren't that low. -- Charlie Edmonton,AB,Canada Registered user 244963 at http://counter.li.org Yow!

I have a bit of a problem with ppp. Using Lnx4Win, the version the
doesn't require a partition, I can dial my isp, but it never connects
and always gives me a message the operation is taking more then 15
seconds. I used netconfig to set up the connection. I triple checked the
obvious things such as the DNS, my username and pword, made sure I
didn't typo the phone number, etc. Anybody have any suggestions or know
any possible reasons for my being able to dial but not actually connect?
Or is it possible that this version just runs so slowly it times out?
I have had friends tell me that I need a chatscript, but the manual
didn't say anything about a chatscript. It just mentioned netconfig and
kppp. So do I need one ore not?
Now comes my really dumb question...where's kppp? I looked in the K

I've been on this list for two days, and I've had to delete about 170 mail messages thus far. Isn't there a nice newbie newsgroup somewhere, where there are threads you can sort through and not hafta clutter up your mailbox? You could subscribe to comp.os.linux.mandrake or comp.os.linux.help but they are not specifically newbie groups. I find mail lists are easier to handle than newsgroups. I don't know if chickmail will allow you to sort by discussion but that is an option for you, perhaps. If you are on a free provider you probably don't have access to a newsreader so my above suggestions won't help unless you subscribe via deja.com or something.
Re: [newbie] (no subject)
I use a Linksys card, not sure what kind though, but it is Linksys. There is CD burning support, but I haven't tried any out yet, as my CD-RW has something screwy with it (hardware problem, not software). There is technically DVD support, but it's not really that refined, and apparently hard to set up. And there is some controversy around it. Read http://opendvd.org for more info about Linux and DVD, and where you can download the programs to play DVD's in Linux. Hi, Has anybody used Linksys cards for cable modem and/or network(home use). While I am writing, is there cd burning and DVD support for Linux. I am using Mandrake 7 and am new. The only thing I can get to work is the modem, external,I had to buy it. This system rips! I am anxious to get everything to work (as are others I assume) Thanks, Dan -- Anthony Huereca http://m3000.1wh.com Press any key to continue and any other key to quit

I am anxious to get everything to work (as are others I assume) Thanks, Dan Hi root grin I have several Linksys NICs. I have never had a problem with one. They show up as ne2000 compatible. Do uname -r and if the work linus is in there you have the wrong kernel. try modprobe ne then do lsmod to see if it loaded ne6512 1 (autoclean) 83905920 0 (autoclean) [ne] Both of those must be listed for this card to work (Don't be surprised if my numbers don't match yours. I am running redhat 6.1 right now)

JohnI used to have one for my bbs to handle email, it was ccorner.riverside.ca.us and was free as long as I had it (maybe 3 years). I gave it up almost a year ago when I closed down the bbs. I registered it with internic via email. I requested by email, they sent back an ASCII form I returned it filled out with my info and they never notified me of it's inception. But it showed up on all the name servers and at that point I started the email service on my bbs. I don't know if the free domains still exist, but if they do you can probably find out by emailing internic. I don't remember the email address but you might start with this one: [EMAIL PROTECTED] Alan bluebottle wrote: Can anyone in USA help me with a question.

John the Nadger http://mklinux.cjb.net I believe its www.internic.org from domains with a .com, .org and .net as for .edu I not sure, the cost isn't to bad but is cheaper for a .ca domain, but you can to live in canada for that. For domain within canada its www.cdnnet.ca and cost only a mere $50 (+GST) to registar, but Like I said before you or buniess has to be located in Canada. Igloos, Etien

Thanks in advance, bzsolt! Two ways to do this: 1) save out your address book to a floppy and manually copy it to your Linux Netscape setup. 2) mount your Windows drives (using type VFAT for Win9x) and copy the info that way. -- John Aldrich COL Tech Support === Chattanooga Online Internet 423-267-8867

Quite a lot of linux software on there - I bought it, it seems quite good if a little dated. Certainly worth a look tho'.
