Re: [newbie] Evo question (was Evolution archiving)
Hi Paul, I've just upgraded ximian evolution to 1.4.4 through ximian red-carpet, wich manages all the dependences stuff (two or three packages were downloade and updated) automatically. Try it, it works great. http://www.ximian.org/products/redcarpet/download.html Then, choose Linux mandrake 9.1 for x386 in the list and go. You can also use red-carpet to upgrade mandrake instead urpmi.

Re: [newbie] Print manager
Hi, You can add an special button in the systray (i'm using KDE as my current desktop) called printing system or so (sorry, i've got the spanish KDE localized version and i don't know exactly how it's called in english). By clicking in one of the little up-arrows in the KDE task menu, select pannel menu add special button printing system. A menu-button (button that expands a menu) with a printer in it will be placed in the kde bar, and you can easily administrate your printer jobs clicking in the menu entry with your printer name --and even configure it through preferences or printing administration. You can also start the printer jobs administrator by typing kjobviewer in the console. You can access, as derek says, to a web browser interface using the URI he posted. But using Konqueror -and only Konqueror- just type print:/ to access to different printer related services, or print:/jobs to see your printer jobs status, although you're using LDP instead of CUPS. Personally, I don't like web interfaces very much -- it's slower (Sorry for my bad english... :) El sáb, 28 de 06 de 2003 a las 14:34, Derek Jennings escribió: I should have also mentioned that you can view print jobs using any browser on your local network with the CUPS administration tool simply by entering http://localhost:631 (replace localhost with IP address if using a different computer) On previous versions of Mandrake I was able to cancel jobs using the CUPS admin tool, but for some reason I cannot with 9.1 YMMV derek On Sunday 29 Jun 2003 4:10 am, Chris Knewstubb wrote: Hi All, I am using Mandarke 9.1.

[newbie] Replace Metacity with Sawfish on 9.1?
The Sawfish window manager does not seem to be in the list of packages shipping with the 9.1 download edition. 1. I see that Metacity is now the default WM for Gnome, is there any specific technical reason why Sawfish was displaced in favor of Metacity? 2. Should I want to install Sawfish as the default WM is there a good procedure written up somewhere on how to do it? Or is it as simple as using RPM to remove Metacity and installing Sawfish from the RPM's instead? Thanks, ==Keith __ Do you Yahoo!? Yahoo!

[newbie] Windowmanager
Hiya! I've been using KDE for the past few days and now I feel like I could switch to some other Windowmanager ( I was told KDE isnt the best choice when it comes to speed and reliability ), or at least *try* to do so. I remember using WindowMaker a few months ago, but I didn't like it that much. I mean, it *was* fast and reliable, but I had some problems with the interface and unless someone here can recommend a good place to get a tutorial or some additional information, I would think twice before going back at it. Okay, to make a long story short: if anyone could either recommend me a good windowmanager or give me a hint on where I can find some background information on them (WindowMaker in particular), I'd be thankful.

[newbie] Music from the window
Hi all, first post here, sorry to sound like a Linux dummy, but I am (not only a Mandrake newbie ;-) So, I have managed to get 8.2 installed (after trying with RedHat, which seemed to dislike my partitioning...). I now have to work my way through all these Howto's, and I'd like to listen to some music while doing that. I found this player that looks like Winamp, buried deep in the startmenu somewhere. So far, so good. Now I have plenty of MP3's, but they are on a W2K NTFS partition, which I couldn't find with Konqueror (seems to me that this is the explorer counterpart, right?). If I understood correctly, I have to do something like mounting a drive or so, but I have no idea how to do that. My question: Is there another program (or package) that I need to do this? And if it's not worth an answer, can I find it in the HowTo's ? Thanks a lot Christian Want to buy your Pack or Services from MandrakeSoft? Go to http://www.mandrakestore.com

[newbie] LiLo conflicts with Win NT - What to do?
Hi there! I recently tried to install Mandrake on the very same HD (3GB for WinNT boot(C:), 20 GB for NT (D:), 18GB for Mandrake) like my current Win NT. Everything worked fine, until I tried to start NT again. NT could not find Disk D, where all the applications are stored. The Diskmanager told me, there was an unknown partition. setting the FS type under linux from 85 to 5 enhanced the problem not significantly. After removing LiLo from the mbr NT worked again. Now my question is: Does anybody know how to install LiLo without harming the partitiontable information NT requires? I would appreciate any hint on how to do this. Couldn't really find anything...

Andreas Want to buy your Pack or Services from MandrakeSoft? Go to http://www.mandrakestore.com hiho andreas well - u mean u were able to boot into windows nt ? but u werent able to start any applications ? Yes, due to the fact that NT could not retrieve any information on the filesystem or the size of the second primary NTFS-partition. It could, however, recognize the partioning data after setting linux ext2 to type 5. The filesystem stayed unknown. under win NT arent u able to hide the unknown partitions ? or - assign the unknown partition another drive letter than D ? It does not look like a letter assignment issue to me. NT doesn't assign any letter except from C, since it is not able to identify the filesystems on the remaining partitions as long as LiLo is in operation. (i assume that the unknown partition is a primary and your former D part. is a logical drive) No, it is a second primary labeled as unknown when LiLo active. u could also try to re-install linux - installing it *not* to a primary, but secondary(logical) partition (i think it should be possible - consult your manual) OK, I'll RTFM. Linux is still working smoothly when I reinstall LiLo which spoils NT operations, so I won't reinstall Linux, I guess. Thanks quay. Andreas Want to buy your Pack or Services from MandrakeSoft?

RE: [newbie] letting computer run overnight without overheating
I have a pc with celeron 633 mhz processor with intel 810e motherboard, will it be safe if I try to let it on overnight? I love Mandrake and have been using it forever since 7.2, but it takes so long to boot up whenever I want to use it and I couldn't use the built in Standby mode because that seems to be only working with windows. I am hoping to be able to just leave it on all day long that I don't have to watch it boot up. Most computers in school are ran 24/7, but they are mostly all air conditioned and mostly are not placed near books. Does anyone know if it is safe for a home user to leave his/her computer on continuously? Thanks very much for your help Eric Hi Eric! Basically: Yes, you may let your computer run 24/7 and most likely it wont overheat and newer mainboards have an automatic shutdown option anyway. I have never seen a temperature triggered shutdown below 35 centigrades, which depends on the fan of course... BUT: No, I would not recommend it. I were sysop at a Windows-LAN at university and had to observe, that hardware lifetime in general is significantly shortend by 24/7. I.e. harddisks, RAM and mainboards fail - although I have never had a CPU-problem. Lifetime was as limited as about 9 to 12 months meantime between failure.

I have reinstalled using both Expert and Custom, and have chosen "install ALL packages" but still am missing many of the howto's (usually under /usr/share/) and don't have some of the programs to compile (some programs I try to compile using configure then make say I don't have a library propertly setup, etc.) What to do without a total reinstall? Will an Update install allow these choices so that I can get all the development files installed? Thanks! Keith _ Do You Yahoo!? Get your free @yahoo.com address at http://mail.yahoo.com
Re: [newbie] DEVELOPMENT setup
Hi Ryan, That helps alot because it answers my question. I'm AMAZED that the store bought boxed version (4 CD's) doesn't have the complete development tools. So - you are saying that I need to download the two CD ISO images from the website, burn CD's and use those, is that correct? Or - is there a list of the RPM's to download that will fill in the missing development tools?

Re: [newbie] DEVELOPMENT setup
Ryan, thanks for that explanation and info, it answers my question. Best Regards, ===Keith - Original Message - From: Ryan Le Gros [EMAIL PROTECTED] To: [EMAIL PROTECTED] Sent: Tuesday, February 27, 2001 1:54 PM Subject: Re: [newbie] DEVELOPMENT setup Im sure you can download just the RPM's you need and install them manually in conjunction with your copy of Mandrake 7.2 Complete, however I, being on a dialup decided to just shell out another 70 bucks for Powerpack Deluxe so I cant verify this. It angers me that Mandrake would release a boxed sre called Complete and fail to say anywhere on the box that development tools are not included. In order to find this out you've got to visit their website and only thne do they tell you that development tools are not included. I wound up wasting 30 bucks on Complete thinking it was complete, when infact it wasnt. Couldnt return the Complete version either because the software had already been opened and the retailer wouldnt exchange it for powerpack deluxe, so im stuck with both versions now. Anywas as for a list of the RPM's youll need to install to make your Complete version a Developmentally complete version, I'm not sure if there is one or not, perhaps someone else on this list can answer that question. My suggestion to you is to download the 2 CD's from the site and burn them if you cant or dont want to spend another 60 dollars for the Powerpack Deluxe. A full install fo Powerpack Deluxe is 1626 pachages totalling around 6 gigs of space, compare and contrast with Complete hehe. Good luck, and flamedammit Mandrake, change your advertising scheme!

[newbie] Missing some programs on Mandrake 7.2
I used the "custom" install on my store-bought Mandrake 7.2 set, and some programs that were installed on Mandrake 7.0 are not there, among them: Apache, PHP, MySQL, and some smaller utilities such as mtools, compress, etc. Have these been removed from the CD set, or did I choose an incorrect install option? I checked "install everything" from Custom install, and thought that would provide me with everything I had with Mandrake 7.0 and maybe more. Note, this is not an upgrade, but a fresh install of 7.2 on a different machine. Thanks! ==Keith _ Do You Yahoo!? Get your free @yahoo.com address at http://mail.yahoo.com

[newbie] Understanding Program Locations
Hello All. I've just installed system 7.2 yesterday. I'm completely new to linux, and this is my first shot at it. As A long time windows user, I am finding myself very confused by the way linux handles application storage. I would like it if someone could explain a few things to me. 1) There appear to be nothing like an .exe file for linux software, where is the program itself? For instance, if I go into the gimp directory, I see all it's support files, but no executable. However, if I Alt-F2 and type in "gimp", it runs just fine. Where is the program stored? 2) This is more specific I downloaded the latest Mozilla milestone, and would like to try it under linux. However, I cannot figure out how to install it. There appear to be no files that "run" when clicked on, even though i downloaded the version "with installer". Help? 3) System clock. Every time I reboot, my clock gets all screwed up. I reset it, and it's fine until I reboot again, but then it's off by a few hours. Ideas? Thanks alot in advance! I'm really liking KDE, but I need to know more about how software and the file system works before I can be happy with it. -C

[newbie] Unable to install 7.2, suspected HD controller problem
Hi,
hardware is AMD thuderbird 850 /Asus A7V motherboard / 128 Mb SDRAM Seagate
barracuda 30Go ATA66 (Promise 66 controller)( 15 Go partition for WinME) /
Asus v7100 GeForce MX 32Mb / Panasonic R/RW 32X
Red Hat fails to install, which is no much surpise with my ATA66
controller. I got an install boot image from the Promise web site and it
installed fine. Unfortunately, the boot disk made by Linux does not boot my
machine and the one provided at Promise do not work for some reasons. So I
got Mandrake 7.2, that fully support ATA66.
Alas! The install loops at the "create filesystem" step (mind you, after
successfully detecting my hard drive) asking me if I have a SCSI controller
(or card?) and NOT taking no for answer. I have then to hit the infamous
reset button and move on to something else.
The UDMA-HOWTO does not work for me, Linux ignores my commands:
linux ide2=0X9800, ide3=0X9000,...
as well as it ignores
linux ide0=... ide1=...
Some suggested to downgrade to 33 instead of 66, which is fine with me, but
I don't know how to do this.
That was the background. I'd like to know if anyone have been through a
similar situation and how they solved it.
I just cannot believe that I can't run any Linux on my machine that I
bought especially for this.
Have a good day,
Christian

[newbie] ML7.2 and Printer + ML7.2 and GeForce
Hi... I have two problems with my Mandrake 7.2 system 1. I've selected the XFree4.0.1 packages during the installation process. My card has been identified as "GeForce 256 (generic) GeForce 256 DDR PCI" (according to HardDrake) But now it seems to me that XFree3.3.6 is running. So I don't get hardware acceleration for my GeForce256 (DDR) which is an APG card. I've installed the NVIDIA-Drivers from the NVIDIA homepage. In the documentation it says: "To use the new 2D module, simply modify the Device section of the XF86Config file and replace: Driver "nv" with Driver "nvidia" But I can't find that "nv" line in my XF86Config. On linuxnewbie.org I found an article about installing X4.0.1 and the NVIDIA drivers from scratch. Do I have to do this cause there's something wrong with the Mandrake 7.2 X4.0.1 packages? 2. I can't use my printer with Mandrake 7.2 lp says: "error - no default destination available." I tried to reconfigure with the Mandrake tools (PrinterDrake) but after the message "Reading the CUPS driver database" nothing else happens. The printer icon on the desktop says:" Unable to connect to CUPS server, check options." cupsd and lpd are loaded (cupds in even show twice after typing "ps -A"). The testpage during the installation process has been printed correctly (although blue looks like mauve). HardDrake displays this: Manufacturer: HEWLETT-PACKARD Model: DESKJET 890C Device: /dev/lp0 Bus-Type: Parallel Someone told me to start a browser and type in 'http://localhost:631' to reconfigure the printer settings but this produces an error message: "ERROR The requested URL could not be retrieved" I'm really unexperienced with Linux so if you have an idea try to explain in easy words.

Re: [newbie] Mandrake 7.2 AND 1.NVIDIA drivers 2. Matlab
On Saturday 21 October 2000 04:25, you scribled down on a piece of electronic paper: 1. NVIDIA provides kernel and GLX drivers for its cards. I was able to install them in 7.1. (In fact, the installation was problemless however, the results were not satisfactory. I was unable to run an openGL program which was my main aim. Then I decided to move to 7.2). Well, I cannot install these drivers in 7.2. It gives some errors concerning the agpgart.o. And the 'insmod NVdriver' fails. Has anyone managed to install NVIDIA drivers to Mandrake 7.2? Recompile your kernel and enable "/dev/agpart (AGP Support)" under the "Character devices" section. This should fix the problem :) I'm myself running XFree 4.0.1 Mandrake 7.2beta3 on a card with the NVidia GeForce2 chipset (asus v7700) and using the NVidia kernel and GLX drivers, and I get better results here with Quake3 and Heavy Gear2 then I get when I boot into windows and try there (with the latest NVidia windows drivers). -- \ Christian A Strømmen / \ Number1/NumeroUno @ Undernet - Email: [EMAIL PROTECTED] / \ Web: www.realityx.net - Cell: +47 911 43 948 / Live your life by your dreams, not by the limits of reality...
[newbie] Mandrake Update
I'm using Mandrake 7.2beta3 and when using the MandrakeUpdate program and pressing "Update List", I get a message saying "Cannot retrieve the list of packages to update. Try with an other mirror." The mirrors I have listed under Preferences, Source are: ftp://ftp.wtfo.com/pub/linux/mandrake/updates ftp://ftp.ciril.fr/pub/linux/mandrake/updates/ ftp://rpmfind.net/linux/Mandrake/updates/ None of these seem to work and pressing the "Update list of mirrors" button doesn't add any mirrors. Could someone please give me some mirrors that work, or at least tell me why the ones already there doesn't? -- \ Christian A Strømmen / \ Number1/NumeroUno @ Undernet - Email: [EMAIL PROTECTED] / \ Web: www.realityx.net - Cell: +47 911 43 948 / Live your life by your dreams, not by the limits of reality...
Re: [newbie] kde menus
On Sunday 15 October 2000 13:53, you scribled down on a piece of electronic paper: I tried putting the files and folders in ~/.kde/share/applnk into a special Gnome subdirectory but KDE didn't let me move certain files. I logged in as root and it worked then, but KDE switched everything back to the old situation when I logged in again as user. The second time I used the KDE menu editor and had the basic setup I wanted, but when I logged in again, everything was reset. There's still a GNOME submenu with everything in the "personal" menu so I'm not doing something silly like modifying things in root and finding no changes in user. Logging in is slow too, it takes a minute or so longer as KDE resets everything to the original installation. KDE is a bit too much like Windows 95, thinks it knows what you want better than you do. Any solutions? An alternative app-launcher might be good, If I'm not mistaking, this hasn't got anything to do with kde, it's a program in mandrake that screws up your kmenu. ps. I'm not 100% sure about this, but I'm running 7.2beta3 and had problems with my menus myself because of a mandrake program called menu-install or something like that. -- \ Christian A Strømmen / \ Number1/NumeroUno @ Undernet - Email: [EMAIL PROTECTED] / \ Web: www.realityx.net - Cell: +47 911 43 948 / Live your life by your dreams, not by the limits of reality...
[newbie] 7.1, remove grub and fix my Windows 98 hard drive
Installed 7.1 this weekend. The install went much less smoothly than with 6.5 and 7.0. I have two hard disks, Mandrake 7.1 was installed on the second hard drive. LILO would not install, complained about some error on /dev/hda2. I then installed grub. It gets to the stage1 prompt and hangs. I also cannot boot back to my Windows 98 hard disk even after FDISK /MBR and other old standby tricks. I have bought Norton Systemworks 2000 in hopes of fixing this problem, which manifests itself as "invalid media error." How can I fix my Windows 98 hard disk without reformatting, and how can I get rid of grub and use LILO instead (which worked fine under releases 6.5 and 7.0?) Thanks. ==Keith __ Do You Yahoo!?

But over the course of 2 weeks I've figured out how to fix it. Go to /etc/X11/. In there, there will be a file named X which is actually just a link to the 3.3.6 X server. So remove that symlink (rm X) and then create a new X symlink, except that this one will point to the 4.0 xserver (ln -s /usr/X11R6/bin/XFree86 X) Now restart X, and you *should* be back in X4.0. And on to that topic, what do you use to configure X 4.0? None of the configuration tools seem to work for X 4.0, and only end up making you go back to 3.3.6. One simple question...

Re: [newbie] Changing monitor settings
I have an ATI 8mb video charger and a Compaq presario 1525 monitor from one of my older systems (1997 is the age of the monitor). I tried the XConfigure and I couldn't find it.

If, like I do, you have a video card or monitor that isn't supported with the current version of XFree86, then it is a bit more involved.
