Yes, i've seen this movie. It is very relevant to current situation. And it's one of my favorite geek movies too, the other one is "Pirates of Silicon Valley" (again starring Bill and MS)

How can i make windows to resize by dragging the top window margin in KDE (disabled by default in 2007.1 One) ? Thanks.

How can i check if my PC can handle ACPI ?

First of all, i have a desktop pentium 3. Second, it seems like mandriva 2007.1 doesn't have any problem with acpi. I really don't know how that acpi thing works. Gooing to google for it now... Do you have a good link where i can learn about it?

Strange problem, good that it is solved now... :D

My problem was a bit different: i use pentium 3, and am able to shutdown normally on all distros i've tried, except (K)ubuntu. In kubuntu, when i chose to shutdown (even by shutdown -h now) i hear HDs shutting down and then the system stalls, i only get the usual kubuntu shutdown screen. I had to push the shutdown button on a pc to end the process. I found this solution in one of the posts at http://kubuntuforums.net/, don't remember what exactly. I've seen that some had your poblem too, so take a look there.

I've added acpi=force to menu.lst in order to be able to shutdown the comp properly. Kubuntu has a tool for managing services, similar to bum, and there i see acpid and others stopped when they should be running.

I've installed the new Kubuntu 7.04 and its ok so far, except a shutdown problem i had, but it is solved now. My question is: why there are many system services that should start at boot but aren't actually running? For example acpid should start at boot but its not running. I don't remember having this problem on Mandi or Fedora. Is it normal? Thanks

I think this thread should be pinned at how-to section, its very useful.

Try Ksnapshot, it allows you to capture the whole screen as well as individual window or sector of the screen.

Does it mean that they want to split the free version and the proprietary one, like Red Hat and Fedora?

Well, my county isn't there too, but that doesn't really matter, or is it?

try to change the menu settings: start -> system -> menu style configuration

Thank you, it does the trick.

My new screenshot:

WoW, thanks dude !

I doubt that it is there...

No. The button remains orange, only its background changes. I guess it is some kind of an icon, if i knew where to find it i could change it.

I mean to change the background of an orange mandriva start button, not to change the background of the panel.

Is there any way to change the color of the kicker?

I wander who that might be ...

Well the error doesn't come back any more, so i guess this case is closed. Thanks everyone.
