This problem is easily avoided, though, if you sign up for one of the accounts that does not automatically renew.

I'm sure people are aware of this, but just in case... If you install Xorg and all of the font, xfs, etc files for it; make sure you reboot afterwards so the correct font server will be started. Xorg is in cooker right now, meaning it WILL be in 10.1 (especially after that announcement). I installed it this morning and from what I've seen, I like it. It uses a different configuration file (/etc/X11/xorg.conf) but the format of the file is exactly the same as the XF86Config-4 file.

It might be easier, if you're looking to just have the browser, to install fluxbox. Then have your ~/.xinitrc file say something like this: mozilla-firefox & exec fluxbox From there, you can edit the fluxbox menu file (backup the original, just in case) to not have any other entries except maybe logout or exit. If you install Xorg (maybe you can do this with XFree86 as well, I'm not sure), you can disable the Ctrl-Alt-Backspace to get out of X as well. Just a thought.

Are all of these running when you're experiencing these problems? My guess is that something (most likely MLDonkey) is sucking up all of your bandwidth. Try throttling it down so it only uses, say, 50% of your available bandwidth and see if the problem still exists. For how to throttle it, see the MLDonkey website or the program's docs.

Glad to hear it

With 0.8, I think it's still .phoenix in your /home/user folder. Look in there in the default/something folder for a file called lock If it's there, delete it and you will be just fine.

once you get to the login screen: login, then su to root and run XFdrake Your monitor is not configured correctly for some reason. It happens some times.

Isn't there a kiosk mode? It seems to me that's exactly what you're looking for.

If you have not installed any icon themes, you wouldn't have the folder. btw: It's ~/.kde/share/icons If you find an icon theme you want at KDE Look and install it (per instructions available on that site) then you will have that folder. Otherwise, the default icon themes in KDE are in /usr/share/icons

Right click on the panel. Go to Size and select the size you want.

compare the result from uname -r to the result of rpm -qa | grep kernel-source I'd be willing to bet that you have a different kernel source installed than the kernel that's installed.

Anytime you edit the lilo.conf file, you have to run lilo or lilo -v as root for the changes to take affect.

To add these buttons, right click on your kicker and go to panel menu -> add -> applet -> lock/logout applet. To configure keyboard shortcuts (in KDE), go to K menu -> System -> Configuration -> KDE -> Accessibility -> Keyboard Shortcuts

I like ripperX I think no matter which mp3 ripper you choose, you will need the lame plugin from plf. Head over to http://urpmi.org/easyurpmi to add a plf source then urpmi lame

To get the graphical boot back, go into MCC -> Hardware (I think, wherever you configure your X server) and turn on the option to Start X at boot. EDIT er...tyme and I posted at the same time, I think his first answer is the correct one partially. I think it's Hardware -> Display Manager (why it's there, I'll never know). I'll double check when I get home if you still can't find it. If you do find it, please post the MCC path for us so we can get this sorted out.

Have you tried adjusting the volume level in the program you are using? Like in xmms or xine? You can also try adjusting the volume in aumix. aumix should be in the K menu under Multimedia -> Sound, but if not open up a terminal (konsole will do) and type: su <enter> <root password and press enter> urpmi aumix to install it. That should give you volume control. Also, welcome to the board!

In KDE it's /usr/share/icons If it is from your icon theme, then it would be in ~/.kde/share/icons

I wrote a short Tip on this here: http://www.mandrakeusers.org/index.php?showtopic=12628 It will help you do what you want to do.

Just as a courtesy, if you did download Quake 3 from one of the mirrors and are giving Steve the server, please do it via pm. I do not believe this game has been Open Sourced, but I may be wrong. I have no problem with you giving Steve the mirror so he can test it out on his system, but please refrain from posting the link on the open forum and do it via pm please. Thanks

Check the file /proc/acpi/Processor/CPU0/throttling See what you have in there. I'd be willing to bet that your cpu has been throttled inadvertantly. Post the output of cat /proc/acpi/Processor/CPU0/throttling here so we can see this file. If it has been throttled, there's an easy fix for it.

#1 Open up MCC and go to Hardware -> Mouse. Fix your mouse there. #2 I would be willing to bet that your internet still works, even though it reports as "FAILED" on boot. It's a bug. If you install the updates through MandrakeUpdate, everything should be fixed.

Do you have a livecd distro you could pop in? If so, boot from that and see which drive is your / partition, then (in a console) mount it to /mnt (ex, if it's hda6: mount /dev/hda6 /mnt) You have to do this as root in your livecd, I think. Then, type chroot /mnt and edit (vim or something) your /etc/fstab file. Make sure that the root= line in that file matches what your livecd tells you is / If not, change it and re-run lilo. Then give it a try.

Sounds like a problem with the X server, but I'm not sure how to fix it. Do you have X starting at boot? If so, try changing that (MCC -> Boot I think) and start from cli. At that point, all you have to do is log in and type startx to start the X server. Then when you log out, you should just get a logout option to drop out of X and back to cli. Then you will be able to use the halt command that you said works.

There are several of us who have installed OSX through PearPC. My immediate thoughts? The installer is far too slow. I don't know if my wireless works yet (I haven't tried), but other than that, I'm very impressed. I can't wait for it to get developed a bit more so the speed improves.

Are you sure? I had to change my .xinitrc file (for both computers) and change the gnome-settings-daemon to the full path (/usr/lib/gnome-settings-daemon & ) in order for it to start correctly.
