Re: starting kde from another machine

2003-02-04 Thread Mike Davison
Bret, You don't want to run startkde on the remote computer as startkde starts the X server and related tasks which need to run on your local computer. The X server is the task that manages the local display (the monitor, keyboard and mouse). Instead: >From local computer: startkde

There is no standard way to do multicast TCP (FTP runs over TCP). Generally, UDP is used for multicast, but there are other transport protocols/mechanisms available. The short answer to your question is, "no." Mike On Monday 03 February 2003 11:27 am, cana rich wrote: > > Hello, > I am

gimp printer settings not saved

I'm running RH 8.0 with very few modifications and have a couple questions about gimp. Perhaps someone here can help. First, the print settings do not get saved when the appropriate button is clicked. Second, I have to select the desired printer every time an image is printed. It's really a pai

support for newer 2400dpi scanners

There are a number of low-cost flatbed scanners out now that do 2400dpi. Looking through the Sane supported list I don't see any listed, however. Has anyone had any success with any of these new 2400dpi flatbed scanners on Linux? Thanks, Mike -- redhat-list mailing list unsubscribe mailto

You should determine if you installed an ssh server in addition to the ssh client. If I recall correctly, they are normally in separate packages. If the ssh server (sshd) is installed and running, you could try ssh'ing to localhost. That is, ssh to the same box. If this works then you know to

Re: Routing

2002-07-10 Thread Mike Davison
I assume you are showing data for a router. It looks ok. Packets destined for 192.168.2.0/24 will go out eth1, packets for 192.168.200.0/24 will go out eth0 and everything else will be sent to 192.168.200.17, which is out eth0. Fine. The problem is on host A. Look at the route table on host

Re: Semi-simple Routing Question

2002-07-09 Thread Mike Davison
For many people, running routed is not necessary. Many times, all one needs is a static default route. For example, 192.168.1.0/24 is via eth1 and everything else on the planet is via eth0. In any case, you might want to get things working with static routes before debugging routed. Ensure b

There is no standard way to uninstall software installed via make. You have to look at the makefile. There may be a make target the removes the software. If not, you could do a 'make install' again and save the output to a file so you can figure out what needs to be removed. cheers, Mike O

If you really want to run KDE, a graphical web browser and office apps (StarOffice, etc) then you should not follow the pain-filled path of trying to do so with 16MB of RAM. My laptop with 64MB is painfully slow with KDE. A laptop with 16MB would make a good firewall or small access router. I
