Re: [newbie] kde startup sound

2002-01-27 Thread Harry Ellis
Jason, I changed the permissions in pics to include execute as well. Not saying I should have but it seemed to do the trick. I think I put an x in every box I could find as a matter of fact. (Not running 8.1 now. Can't check.) Would like to hear what they say on the KDE newsgroup. Good luck, Harr

[newbie] autologin to wrong desktop

2002-01-25 Thread Harry Ellis
My Mandrake 7.2 automatically boots to user "Harry", which is good, and Enlightenment, which is inconvenient. I want to end up in KDE. It always did until I played around with Enlightenment for awhile. The odd thing is that if I ever change users, KDE shows as the default, and the computer loads

[newbie] Kppp and password

1999-09-05 Thread harry ellis
Kppp remembers my user ID and password in root and for one user. When I create more users through Configurator, the Kppp wont remember . In all cases I'm using the same ID and password, and the box is clicked to ask it to remember. (And the user that it works for was created through Configurator.)

[newbie] Netscape 4.61 load problem

1999-09-04 Thread harry ellis
I downloaded the new Netscape 4.61 through the Updates site (and a very easy process it is!) but now the Netscape program seems to load only when I'm online. When I'm not online, sometimes it shows up when I click the icon, but other times the hard drive light flickers for awhile, but the program

[newbie] Netscape address book

1999-09-04 Thread harry ellis
I sent myself a copy of my email addresses in a letter from my Win98 computer to my Linux computer. I'm pretty sure that when I was root I could click on these addresses while in Netscape and easily transfer them to the Netscape address book. Anyway, my address book is fine in Linux root. But now

[newbie] Netscape a memory hog?

1999-09-04 Thread harry ellis
Once in awhile in Netscape, especially when offline, the system freezes. I suspect I've run out of memory. I'm running with 32 megs of ram and a swap file of 96 megs. There doesn't seem to be much evidence of swapping going on however. (No hard drive activity.) Is lack of memory the likely culpri

[newbie] StarOffice 4.0

1999-08-18 Thread Harry Ellis
I can get a free copy of StarOffice 4.0 on a cd from our library. The book it comes with suggests it needs linux library version libc 5.4.22 or higher to 6.x, but EARLIER VERSIONS MUST BE AVAILABLE to StarOffice. I have installed Venus 6.0. So is the library version I have "backwards compatible" w

[newbie] Modem connects; no Internet

1999-08-15 Thread Harry Ellis
My US Robotics 33.6 modem dials my ISP, they "talk", the Kppp reads connected, but nothing works. I've installed Venus 6.0 as the only os on a stand alone pentium, trying both the Linuxconfig and the Kppp to connect. I'm hoping someone will recognize this as a problem they've previously solved.
