[newbie] Digital cameras and Linux

2002-05-30 Thread Terry S.
I thought I had remembered seeing this in a few previous posts, but can't quite remember. Is there a website that lists what digital cameras will work with Linux fairly well? I just bought my wife a Fuji Finepix A101 camera, and would like to know if it works with Linux in case I decided to

2002-05-28 Thread Terry S.
I use the Cisco Aironet Wireless card on my laptop here at work, and the only thing I had to do to get it to work was to simply plug it in .. it automatically loaded the appropriate drivers and installed the necessary kernel module to be able to access it. I didn't even have to go to Cisco's

2002-05-21 Thread Terry S.
I am having trouble printing from my Mandrake 8.2 laptop using CUPS 1.1.14 and samba 2.2.3a .. Our domain printers are managed by some printer accounting software that will not allow anyone outside of the domain to print to our printers. I was able to successfully add my Linux box to our domain,

[newbie] Printing to Window$ domain printers using CUPS and Samba

2002-05-13 Thread Terry S.
I'm still having trouble getting printing to work using MDK 8.2 using CUPS and Samba. I think I may have narrowed down the problem though. When I add a SMB shared printer using the wizard in KUPS, I have noticed that CUPS tries to use my laptop's integrated network card (eth0)to send the

All, Thanks to everyone who responded to my dilema of trying to get the NVIDIA_kernel RPM for my LM 8.1 system. I did as everyone suggested and downloaded, rebuilt, and instlled the source RPM. Things seemed to go well as the packages installed, with only the customary warnings that NVIDIA

[newbie] NVidia RPMs for LM 8.1

2002-02-08 Thread Terry S.
Does anyone know where I can get the NVidia_kernel RPM for an NVidia GeForce2 MX/400? The only one NVidia offers is an RPM for an i686, but I can't use it since I don't have an 686 processor. I have searched RPMfind.net, and they didn't have one either. Thanks! Terry Want to buy your

Does anyone have one of these working? I have plugged it into my USB port, and Linux seems to recognize it, even mounts it (as Floppy2 or Floppy, I can't remember which), but when I try to access it through either a command prompt or thru Nautilus, it either tells me that it was unable to access

[newbie] Using Xfce

2002-01-23 Thread Terry S.
Good evening, I've been reading about people using Xfce on the Linux boxes on this list, and I decided I'd give it a try. I installed it off of the LM 8.1 CD's, and logged into it. It looks really good, and I would like to make it my default window manager of choice. I do have one problem

Thanks for the answers, but I have tried those, and they still don't have any effect on Software Manager. Things work just fine at the command line, just not in Software Manager. If I try to use rpm -e packagename from the command line, it just tells me that the package is not installed on

2001-05-21 Thread Terry S.
I want to install some programs on my computer, but when I try to use Mandrake's Software Manager, it keeps telling me that the packages I'm trying to install are already installed. I can verify that none of the packages are installed by using: rpm -q --all and even install them using the
