[newbie] KDE 3.1

2003-02-04 Thread Gary Montalbine
Installed KDE 3.1 from Mandrake Club. No major problem with the installation. However I lost my volume control icon on the taskbar and cannot find a way to get it back. Any suggestions? Also whenever I close Konquror I get a SIG11SIGSEGV. It works but does not want to close down apparently.

I have the same problem using 8.2. I asked a similar question a few weeks back and the consensus seems to be a motherboard issue. I am using the Tyan S1598 Trinity MB. Fortunately mine will reboot. So I reboot into Win98 and shutdown that way. M9.0 will not load. Gary On Friday 13 December

I believe the problem is that the minus sign (-) on the number pad can be taken as a minus or a dash by OO. Hence the (?). If you use the dash (-) on the regular keyboard you should not have that trouble. It works for me. Gary Damian G wrote: wouldn't know, miark, i never even tried.

Iuse xcdroast. You need to burn the .iso image as a image file. Can't remember where I found the instructions. Try the xcdroast site. You need to configure the HD settings in xcdroast to show where your iso files are. Gary Dennis Myers wrote: On Saturday 17 August 2002 01:13 pm, Derek
