RE: Re[4]: [newbie] No logout/halt/reboot in Dolphin
Roman Korcek [EMAIL PROTECTED] wrote: Hey, Okay, it seems I need to answer my own question: I'm still a newbie at Linux, and so I had no idea *why* I couldn't get those halt/reboot/logout options to appear. Well, after playing around, just looking and looking all over in the menus, I ran across the Login Manager. Its kinda hidden in Dolphin's menus. In any case, in the Login Manager, I went to the Sessions tab. The very first setting is called Allow Shutdown and you have a subsetting for the Console and Remote. The setting for Console said Nobody; I simply changed it to Everybody. I logged out and logged back in, and then tried to log out again. To my delight, I now had the options to halt/reboot/logout. Success! I remember this setting in 8.2 in KDE, too, however as I currently don't want to install X I'd be glad if someone could tell me what to do from command line. I'll try Derek's suggestions (thanks) and make a search on my own. Have you ever had high security?, or did you upgrade instead of install? No, I never had high security and I performed a clean install with reformat. -- TIA Roman Roman: Do a man shutdown from your terminal window.

Re: [newbie] Can't find fpc compiler
Warren: Have you checked what the man pages of the loaded applications do? What does fpcmake do? Nick Warren Post [EMAIL PROTECTED] wrote: El dom, 25-08-2002 a las 16:45, dfox escribió: I've read the man page, the readme, the faq, and the freepascal.org site, but everything takes for granted that the compiler will work after installing the rpm. Any ideas on what I might be doing wrong? One would expect that 'fpc' is indeed installed somewhere, perhaps /usr/bin, with the other support files somewhere else (/usr/share/fpc or someplace like that). Can you verify that 'fpc' is in /usr/bin? It is not, nor is a file named fpc anywhere else, as 'find' shows: [root@gerencia warren]# find / -name fpc find: /mnt/floppy: Input/output error find: /mnt/cdrom: Input/output error /usr/lib/fpc (The last entry being a directory, not a file. fpc isn't in there, either.) Nor does the rpm package I installed contain a file named fpc that is supposed to go to /usr/bin/: [root@gerencia warren]# rpm -ql fpc-1.0.4-2mdk | grep /bin/ /usr/bin/bin2obj /usr/bin/data2inc /usr/bin/delp /usr/bin/fd2pascal /usr/bin/fpcmake /usr/bin/fprcp /usr/bin/h2pas /usr/bin/plex /usr/bin/postw32 /usr/bin/ppdep /usr/bin/ppudump /usr/bin/ppufiles /usr/bin/ppumove /usr/bin/ptop /usr/bin/pyacc /usr/bin/rstconv There are probably three possibilities: /usr/bin not in PATH - but I find that highly unlikely... /usr/bin/ is in my path: [warren@gerencia warren]$ env (snip) PATH=/bin:/usr/bin:...(snip) It could be that the installation directory is not in your path, or the install is broken in some respect (i.e., by not placing the compiler binary or at least a link to it in /usr/bin). That's what I'm wondering. How is this rpm supposed to give me a working compiler if it doesn't contain a file named fpc? you installed the source rpm by mistake, so you'd have to compile it, but that doesn't seem that likely. Did the filename end in src.rpm? No, it is fpc-1.0.4-2mdk.i586.rpm, from LM 8.1 CD3. At any rate, typing 'rehash' at the command prompt (or exit relogin) might actually work. It can't hurt. No change after exit and relogin. Warren -- nickE __ Your favorite stores, helpful shopping tools and great gift ideas.

RE: [newbie] Laptop question
Femme: Can't the BIOS be set to boot off the CD? Femme [EMAIL PROTECTED] wrote: I have come into ownership of an older HP Omnibook, a PII 233 iirc, and its got a removeable CD-Rom Floppy drive. Can't have both attached at once. I had planned to stick mandrake on it, however I ran into a small snag. If I can't boot the CD itself, and can't have both floppy CD-Rom attached at the same time, I can't boot from floppy then install. Nor may I just install off the CD. So..what to do? I looked at the linux for laptops site. No luck there. The one page devoted to this stuff was fairly useless. I went to HP's site for info on the BIOS stuff, and got little else but BIOS info.
