Trying to think logically about this so that I can generate a model of what is going on. If I can use the modem with no network card in the box, then that seems a good test that at some level everything is OK. But if the modem goes away when I add the network card, then that seems to indicate

Hi, folks: I am having problems playing certain MPEG videos properly. I'm using xanim 28010-11mdk and aKtion as the front-end. These particular MPEGs will play, but not usefully. There is no sound, visual garbage cluttering up the image, and butchered frames. This seems to be the case with all

Such is the nature of playing MPEGs with xanim/aKtion. They're great at AVIs but not MPEGs. You will need to get Mpeg TV Player from http://www.mpegtv.com . It will play MPEGs smoothly and the cost is only $10. Seve -Original Message- From: Stephen F. Bosch <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> To: Ex

I run two instances of setiathome, which I renamed setiathome1 and setiathome2, on a dual-processor machine. Running more than one instance of setiathome in a single-processor machine is useless, for all instances will be competing for nice cycles. ZP -- José Pedro Sousa do Amaral We can learn

I like TkSeti because you can set it to function during inactivity. That way, it frees up 16Megs of RAM when you're using the machine. It monitors both mouse and keyboard activity. It's worth a look. http://www.kuug.ab.ca/~macdonal/tkseti/tkseti.html Seve -Original Message- From: Ra

Try using mtvp instead of xanim. I've not seen a single video that played correctly in xanim. http://www.mpegtv.com/download.html Get the rpms (xforms,SDL, and mtv), install them, and you can run mtv, which is commercial and will cut sound after 30 seconds of playing, or you can use mtvp. mtv

kdm is a login manager. I'm not sure what you think a login manager is, though. kdm is not needed to manage logins, but that's the only thing it does. It provides a graphical front-end that allows people to log in with graphics on their screen rather than logging in in text mode. It is the KD

Sounds like slocate updating it's database. On my system (Mandrake 7) it does this daily. Have a look in the /etc/cron* files to see how yours is set up. Harmless, and useful for finding things. "man slocate" will reveal all. HTH Glyn M. On Wed, Apr 19, 2000 at 11:08:40PM -0600, thus spake
