  1. Since you said more easier than using the web-based cups, which means, I don't need a cups and to remove cups and cups-common? since my system is unable to create due to cups...

     

    Don't remove it. You do need its core. You are although not limited to its web-based interface.

     

    Again, I think I saw my printer system set up /dev/lpo but when I add printer process, it said /dev/printer??

    It's OK. If you do "ls -l /dev/printer", you see that it's just a symbolic link to /dev/lp0. If on the other hand it's not, just type "/dev/lp0" instead of "/dev/printer".

  2. My input is:

    Name: HP OfficeJet

     

    Location: file:///home/username/Desktop/HP-OfficeJet_T45-hpijs.ppd

     

    I'm afraid you misinterpreted the meaning of "Location". It doesn't mean "driver location", but rather just describes to the users where the printer is physically located. For example, "Adjacent to John Doe's room" would give an excellent "Location".

     

    Description: HP OfficeJet T Series

     

    Error:

    The printer name may only contain up to 127 printable characters and may not contain spaces, slashes (/), or the pound sign (#).

     

    It says that a printer name may not contain spaces. You've given the printer the "HP OfficeJet" name, containing a space. Just give an alternative name, with no spaces. "HP_OfficeJet" would go nicely.

  3. This means I need the NVIDIA kernel module for version 1.0-8756, I think.

     

    You're correct, you need NVIDIA kernel module for version 1.0-8756.

     

    Here is my last attempt with command lines:

     

    dkms-nvidia-7676-5mdk

     

    This "dkms-nvidia" is what would eventually become the NVIDIA kernel module. You need to obtain dkms-nvidia-8756, and to uninstall -7676, in addition to obtaining kernel-source.

  4. Recently, I've rebuilt and installed Cooker version of 2.0.2 on my "2006 with lots of recompiled Cooker packages" machine.

    I'd still refrain from calling its startup fast, but it's a lot faster than 2.0's startup.

  5. but obviously it wouldn't be a purely java kernel ;). it's not a practical way of going about it, was my main point. i can't imagine anyone doing it except as a proof-of-concept.

    Let's go even further :) This minimalistic bootstrapping part may actually replace BIOS, so the kernel would be pure Java ( heaven forbid :wall:)

  6. You would not want to use Java for the kernel since it is an interpreted language, not a compiled language. you would have to load the java vm before booting the kernel which you can't really do without having a kernel booted...

    From purely theoretical point of view, (mostly) Java-based kernel is possible. Build some minimal kernel including Java VM, in C, write all the rest in Java, boot the minimal kernel, load all the rest and let it crawl along :) Bootstrapping at its best :)

  7. I have also heard complaints about later players from iRiver (iFP, I think), which seem to be designed to only work with MS Windows.

    Got myself iRiver iFP 795 just yesterday, haven't got time to learn it fully yet. So, just several points :

    - If you purchase iRiver iFP, do your homework and purchase one that has UMS firmware available . There are Linux tools supporting iManager-based players, but I'm personally inclined to think that working with a regular USB drive would be preferable.

    - iRiver FPs play Oggs encoded with bitrate in 96K-225K range. No less, no more. Although, it may be some limitation of the UMS firmware, and the players may support a broader range of Oggs with their default one.

    - I've yet to see some more stupid user interface :angry:

  8. Thanks chalex20!!

     

    On the contrib site, i get this

    ...snipped...

    i should enter line by line after each execution/download..?

    Not exactly "line by line" as seen on the screen. "urpmi.addmedia .... with hdlist.cz" is actually one command. So, you open a root terminal ( or "su" in your regular terminal), and then you feed in the commands you received, one by one ( you may unite them, as a matter of fact, but spotting errors is harder in this case).

  9. what i mean is all these:

    1) i don't find it on the start menu

    2) when i type "kdevelop" on a shell or the run command, it does not exist.

    3) When i go on the "install package", i don't find any package by the name kdevelop

    Well, "3" implies "1" and "2"... If the package is not installed ( and even not installable), there would be no way to run it.

    :(

    Now, that's serious :-(

    It seems that your urpmi/rpmdrake repositories are misconfigured a little bit.

    I've given you an answer about easyurpmi.zarb.org in "Installing Mandriva" forum. Go there, configure all the repositories ( you need "main", but all the rest wouldn't hurt as well). Try "urpmi kdevelop" or search for kdevelop in rpmdrake after completing the configuration.

    Alternatively : see if your installation CDs are configured as a repository in urpmi. Do configure them in, if needed. Explore them in any file manager, looking for "kdevelop*". If such files ( there should be around several dozens) exist, look for them in rpmdrake as well.

  10. 1) when typing "top", i get a quite long table like.

    could you explain me what the zombie means?

     

    UNIX-like systems keep some information about a process even after its exit / death, until the "parent process" of the given one asks about its state.

    "Zombie" is just that - a process that is actually not a process, but only a purely informational entry in the process table, "dead alive".

     

    what is the address of the contrib mirrors? :huh:

    http://easyurpmi.zarb.org

    Look for "source contrib".

  11. uuumm, i don't find the Kdevelop ide for c/c++.

    where is it, how is it's ide called?

    What do you exactly mean? Is it "you're not able to install it" or "you're not able to locate it in the start menu after successful installation"?

    For the first case : the package should be called "kdevelop".

    For the second case : the IDE is called "kdevelop". Try running "kdevelop" from a terminal window.

  12. Hi!

    How can i do the following programming under linux?

    1) C/C++ - i know it's something like gcc. But how to use it. IN windows, after compiling my codes, i get the whole files with the .exe on the folder of my choice. BUt in linux how do i get this?

    Install KDevelop - this would bring you an IDE.

    Or read gcc / g++ documentation for options. You may be very interested in "-o" option ( meaning "what the output file would be"). This option gives you all the choice - both the folder and the file name.

     

    2) VB.net and VB 6.0

     

    Gambas tries to create something resembling VB. VB and VB.net themselves - no dice. Windows only.

  13. Please bear with me for a relative newbie question. The only apps I'm currently running are Konsole and Mozilla,

    The only GUI applications you've opened are Konsole and Mozilla. Other KDE components and console processes use their shares of memory as well.

     

    and I haven't been doing anything unusual (I don't think) with either, so I'm trying to figure out why I get this when I check my free memory:

     

    > free
    		 total	   used	   free	 shared	buffers	 cached
    Mem:	   1036016	 960160	  75856		  0	 204288	 327628
    -/+ buffers/cache:	 428244	 607772
    Swap:	  1903660		  0	1903660

    Pay attention to "buffers" and "cached" in the first line, and also to the second line. The matter is that Linux tries to use all of the memory it finds available, for system needs ( it would be pretty stupid to do otherwise; why pay for memory which would never be used?). "Buffers" and "cached" numbers reflect this very memory, used not by the applications but rather by Linux kernel itself. In case applications demand more memory, Linux will just use less memory for buffers. So, application-wise, "buffers" and "cached" memory should be considered "free", as it would be allocated to applications upon first demand.

    If you look at "-/+ buffers/cache" line, you would see exactly this picture : applications use 428244 K memory, and 607772 K memory are "free".

     

     

    I've run top and didn't see anything noteworthy. How do I figure out what's taking up 960160 bytes of my RAM?

    As discussed above, about 500M of your RAM are taken by the Linux kernel for its own needs ( buffers and disk cache ). Almost all of them are still available for applications. 400M are taken by the applications themselves.

  14. And i didnt take a good look before, this is no exception as i said in previous post, this is correct since there are files libgtkhtml-2.so.0.0.0* that point to libgtkhtml-2.so,

    It's exactly the other way around. libgtkhtml-2.so ( in development package ) points to libgtkhtml-2.so.0.0.0 ( in regular package). libgtkhtml-2.so is not a library per se, but a symlink.

    To formulate what I've said in a bit different way : one may use .so for development, but it is generally used for running applications. One doesn't generally use .a for running an application. So, .so may be present either in regular packages or in development packages, whereas .a are not generally present in regular packages, but are widely present in development packages.

  15. Wrong again, .so files do belong/are devel files, please read and check about it

    Where can I read about it? All I've read suggests me that you need .so files to run applications rather than to develop extensions for them.

     

    Just a little example :

    rpm -ql libgtkhtml2_0
    /usr/lib/libgtkhtml-2.so.0
    /usr/lib/libgtkhtml-2.so.0.0.0

     

    rpm -ql libgtkhtml2_0-devel
    ...
    /usr/lib/libgtkhtml-2.a
    /usr/lib/libgtkhtml-2.la
    /usr/lib/libgtkhtml-2.so

     

    If someone argues that there is ".so" file in the devel- package, here it goes for him :

    ls -l /usr/lib/libgtkhtml-2.so
    lrwxrwxrwx  1 root root 21 Nov  5 22:47 /usr/lib/libgtkhtml-2.so -> libgtkhtml-2.so.0.0.0*

    This .so is but a symlink.

    So, what we see in this little example ? All the versioned .so files are in the regular package, while .la, .a and unversioned .so ( that are but symlinks) are in the -devel package.

  16. I have now seen that kde is done/coded in a different way, since to work does need the dynamic lib files *.la and *.so , but these files should be devel files but in kde its not the case.

    I believe you are very seriously mistaken here. *.so shouldn't mandatorily belong to -devel packages. It's exactly the other way around, they are a crucial part of regular packages. OTOH, *.a and maybe *.la belong to -devel.

  17. Installed latest build but it has lots of bugs. In kdeaddon packages metabar is no longer there, the system monitor applet is gone. In kdepim: Kontact doesn't work because the sidebar doesn't show. Individial kmail/akregator work. In kde network kopete is broken. Accounts don't show. And Kttsd no longer works.

    thats not true, i ave all the apckages i made yesterday installed and all runs smothly, and to remember that before packages go public all is first tested.

    There is some lib packages that dont exist anymore since some files were bad position since we did follwoed how mandriva put files but again all were wrong...

    Almost the same here :

    - System monitor applet is shown in "add applet" dialog, but can't be loaded

    - kdeaddons-akregator is there, but doesn't run

    - Search bar in konqueror is missing

    - libkdeaddons1-searchbar and libkdeaddons1-sidebar do not exist anymore

    Absence of problems on your computer doesn't guarantee absence of problems on other computers, you know.
