[newbie] Getting sylpheed-claws
I've tried several times to get Sylpheed-claws via urpmi.

It must have left in, right in, left out and right out or stereo in and stereo out. And a digital line in would be nice. So would a midi interface. The ones in the conputer stores are not good enough so I have to look in the music stores. I don't know anything about the brands they sell (exept for Terratec, I had a Terratec one once and was very happy with it). And the persons working in music stores seems to know only about Mac and Windows, and never if a card can be used under Linux. I'm considering Roland, Terratec, RME, Creamware, Echo, Ego Sys and M-audio. Does anyone know if any of these have good Linux drivers?

What does this have to do with MS or Linux for that matter? Don't know why this rubs me the wrong way but Mark has generously provided server space for REALLY OTs; so why do so many insist on wasting newbie server space and bandwidth of those who have no interest in off topic discussions? I would think that the least that could be done is to change the subject line to reflect the topic being discussed so at least I could avoid everyone's opinions on subjects which have no interest for me.

I've heard something about urpmi but I am not really sure how it works or what it is. I'm also pretty new to Linux and (so far) have found urpmi to work very nicely. It will go to whatever source that has the RPM you want and install it along with dependencies (usually). If you're using mdk 9.1 you can go to http://plf.zarb.org/~nanardon/urpmiweb.php to learn how to set up your sources and begin using urpmi. I've attempted to compile sources of newer versions of software (i.e. alsa-snd-cards), without ever removing the currently installed version and I had a lot of compiling errors. I don't know if it is better to compile than to install an RPM. I've found that both are good. I'll compile then make it into an RPM and install with urpmi. Works great. There should be a generalized standard in Linux that all applications adhere to (I.e. the registry in Windows). Of course whatever it is, it should be better than Winblows. Uhhh. no comment.

[newbie] Audio question
Is it possible to control volumes on audio programs running at the same time - independently? For instance - the sounds made by my IM are quite loud in relation to audio being streamed on xmms. I've found that I can lower the volume of one program while keeping the volume of a CD that's playing, relatively higher, by using the PCM slider in aumix - which doesn't affect the CDs volume.

It's static, as in it's always (theoretically) the same as when it's first built. mtab is the mount table, and is generated as a result of the actions connected with fstab. It's dynamic and changes as devices and drives are mounted or unmounted. In other words _don't edit it!_ Or maybe.. BOOM! ;-) Also; if the Windows drive (C:) is hda1 why did you add it as hda8? If you want to read the contents as a user instead of root it may help to add user in the fstab too. Just a thought.

The dir name in /mnt is win_c in this case - you can create any dir name you like - after install I usualy create my own dirs like win-hda1 , dos-hde1 , man90-hde5, etc. Then I edit the fstab with the new names - two choices - umount the edited partitions and then mount -a or reboot. Now delete the old names in /mnt. Your case - use win_c - now test this first before editing fstab You may also use fdisk -l /dev/hda to check that you have your info correct. mount -t vfat /dev/hda1 /mnt/win_c The type must be correct (vfat, etc). This should work and you should now use mount and will see this partition displayed with the rest.(at bottom) I only make changes in fstab and I have no problems. In fstab add line like.. /dev/hda1 /mnt/win_c vfat defaults The type of system like vfat, ext2 ,reiserfs is importend here. This always works for me - the system is smart enough to mount correctly. Now umount /mnt/win_c *** mount look if out on list. Now mount -a mount see on screen if it is there you are OK. Now is this partition in your /etc/lilo.conf or GRUB menu.lst If you want to boot it - it must be added. Enjoy Johan Hi Johan, The deed is done, but I'll keep your tip in mind for the next time.

[newbie] Sylpheed install
I found that I preferred the 0.8.3 version of Sylpheed-claws which I'm using under mdk 9.0 but the install fails for 9.1. It wants libcrypto.so.2 and libssl.so.2 I've googled and found that these files are provided by openssl. MCC tells me that openssl is installed and I'm having no luck finding the two files.

Just as I was about to go to town on this sylpheed tarball, I read Eric's post on 'make install' - then Derek's page on checkinstall. Decided that was a good idea 9building an RPM from a tarball) so I did urpmi checkinstall - it reported two dependencies, I said yes and it failed saying some files were missing and that I might want to update my urpmi database. So I said 'urpmi.update local' tried urpmi checkinstall again and get the same message. I must be missing something here - besides the files, which are: /var/cache/urpmi/rpms/libcheckinstall1-1.5.3-1mdk.noarch.rpm /var/cache/urpmi/rpms/checkinstall-1.5.3-1mdk.noarch.rpm Where do I go from here? thanks Curt Want to buy your Pack or Services from MandrakeSoft?

[newbie] Install problems
I got the new disk form Maxtor today and have just made five attempts at installing
9.1 - the last one using rc2 or 3 - the install was smooth but on
reboot, got this :
EXT3-fs error (device ide0 (3,1)): ext3_get_inode_loc: unable to read inode block -
inode=259114
Kernel Panic: Attempted to kill init!
The last attempt with the power pack ended with this these 15 lines:
ide0:reset: success
hda: dma_initr: status=0x51 {DriveReady SeekComplete Error}
hda: dma_initr error=0x84 {DriceStatusError Bad CRC} end_request: I/O error dev 03:01
(hda) sector 1154352
EXT3-fs error (device ide-0 (3,1)): ext3_get_inode_loc: unable to read inode block -
inode=719489, block 1441794
repeats last two lines four more times... then
ide0:reset success
Kernel Panic: Attempted to kill init!
6 keyboard: unknown scancode e0 7a
I've had 9.1 installed successfully on this machine several times.
I understand that kernel panic is usually hardware related but that doesn't make sense
as there's no change in any hardware... except the new hard disk.
Do one of you gurus have a clue for me?

Re: [newbie] missing libraries, awkward fonts
Hi Derek, I'm struggling with fonts here this morning and tried the above command - what returned was no package named msfonts Did I do something wrong or is this specific to 9.1? I'm using 9.0 Thanks Curt That package is in Texstar and Tex does not keep a 9.0 source anymore. Make sure you have only defined 9.0 sources. If you install packages from a 9.1 source you could screw up your system. The font handling in 9.1 is a *lot* better than 9.0, and since a lot of the 9.0 sources are disappearing off the net I would recommend upgrading. derek I just discovered the easyurpmi site and set up sources a couple days ago. I have 9.1 here, just waiting on Maxtor to get my replacement disk to me. For a while at least I'd like to keep 9.0 for comparison and as a backup for when I seriously break 9.1.. what I've read about upgrading (as opposed to a clean install) leaves me a little gunshy.

Install 9.1 alongside 9.0. If it goes badly wrong you can still use your old install. If it doesn't you can ditch 9.0 when you are happy enough. They'll live happily together, and lilo will find them both. The only thing is that if you didn't make a separate /boot partition you will need to copy a couple of files from the old /boot into the new one, to ensure that both can be run. Otherwise, no problems. Hi Anne, Ahh this could explain why hda - the previous 9.1 install - wouldn't see hdd - where 9.0 lives. So with lilo presently running things from hdd, in order to have control from hda (new 9.1 install), it (hda) would need the /boot partition?... then copy the files from hdd's lilo? Have I got that straight? no reason to be at all. if 9.0 installed easy, 9.1 will just as well. It gets easier for me each time, less to do after the initial install.
