Hi When I run Red alert 2 setup file it requests a update on a comctl32.dll file. How can I do the update? I am currently running Mandrake 10.2 LE 2005 with KDE 3.3. Thanx Kowash

Hi Thanx for all of the great attitude and help in the past. You guys ROCK. Help me out again, PLEASE. I have to copy text into firefox. (To do the administration on my website) Mozilla gives me an error, and the fix. For security reasons it is not allowed at all, but you can change the settings to rectify this. I tried to rectify this problem. I created an user.js file in my file:/usr/lib/mozilla-firefox-1.0.2/defaults, and in every folder in that one. It is still not working. What am I doing wrong? Someone out there must see what I am missing. Seems like no one else is struggeling with this, so forgive my slooooooowwwwwness. :) Here is the fix : Setting Prefs for the Mozilla Rich Text Editing Demo To protect users' private information, unprivileged scripts cannot invoke the Cut, Copy, and Paste commands in the Mozilla rich text editor, so the corresponding buttons on the Mozilla Rich Text Editing demo page will not work. To enable these functions for purposes of the demo, you must modify your browser preferences. 1. Quit Mozilla. If you have Quick Launch running (in Windows, an icon in the toolbar), quit that too. 2. Find your Mozilla profile directory. On Windows, this is often located in c://WINNT/Profiles/<your Windows login>/Application Data/Mozilla. (See also editing configuration files for more info on locating your profile folder.) 3. Open the user.js file from that directory in a text editor. If there's no user.js file, create one. 4. Add these lines to user.js: user_pref("capability.policy.policynames", "allowclipboard"); user_pref("capability.policy.allowclipboard.sites", "http://www.mozilla.org"'>http://www.mozilla.org"); user_pref("capability.policy.allowclipboard.Clipboard.cutcopy", "allAccess"); user_pref("capability.policy.allowclipboard.Clipboard.paste", "allAccess"); 5. Save the file, and restart Mozilla. The Clipboard buttons should now function. Here is my file that I created. user_pref("capability.policy.policynames", "allowclipboard"); user_pref("capability.policy.allowclipboard.sites", "http://www.mozilla.org"); user_pref("capability.policy.allowclipboard.Clipboard.cutcopy", "allAccess"); user_pref("capability.policy.allowclipboard.Clipboard.paste", "allAccess"); Kowash

Thanx, Jza Seems like there is not a lot of people clued up with this problem. One of a kind ! One problem. Your going to fast for me. Still a newbie ok, and not too brite as well. What do you mean in the first line. What is What is SRPMS. The closest relation I have to it is the RPMS in the Open office folder. Open office is installed in the opt folder. I am going to try and create the shortcut with menudrake meanwhile. hope i don´t do more damage than good. Thanx anyway and btw happy new year to you all. Kowash

btw I don think I installed the gnome thingies. :) I checked in rpmdrake and it does not seem so. I installed it now, so I will be organized in the future. Thanx kowash

Thanx Ok, just one question. how do i know where it was installed??? Sorry, I know it sounds stupid, but I really don know. I have looked and I can find it. Thanx for the quick response Kowash

Hi Still feel like a newbie, especially after upgrading some of the old stuff. I downloaded Openoffice 2.0.1 from openoffice.org site, followed the instructions (also installed java jre1.5.0_05 - tested and it is running smooth) The install worked wonderfully, or so i thought. I installed it from my root/tmp folder. It said installed after i completed all the instructions. Now, for some reason I can only see the Openoffice 1.1.4 version on my menu -bar. I restarted the session, but it does not change a thing. What should I do? Kowash

Hi Thank you for the information I actually got a download for free on the website that will function for 15 days. It seems like everyone is not too exited about cedega. Some of them seem to believe that it is actually not that great???? I want to test it to see if it will run RA2. Anyway. i downloaded a file called "cedega_timedemo_installer". Can you maybe tell me how to install it? kowash

Suddenly, It appeared????? I am really glad, but I am really puzzled Have a great day Kowash

Hi Could be a mistake I made. Just want someone to help me find the problem. I have struggled for more than 2 hours. I feel like a shrimp in a diner. I am loosing my shell!!!!!! I followed the instructions on the following page after I installed JAVA. http://download.openoffice.org/2.0.0/instructions.html#linux. I used the RPM installation instructions. After I followed the instructions and only completed a installation in the Konsole, I tried again cause there is still not a openoffice in my menu, even if I restart. This is what happened. Am I missing something. The script of the installation instructions is below [root@localhost ~]# cd /root/OOo_2.0.0_LinuxIntel_install/RPMS [root@localhost RPMS]# rpm -Uvih *rpm Preparing... ########################################### [100%] package openoffice.org-core08-2.0.0-3 is already installed package openoffice.org-core07-2.0.0-3 is already installed package openoffice.org-core06-2.0.0-3 is already installed package openoffice.org-core05-2.0.0-3 is already installed package openoffice.org-core04-2.0.0-3 is already installed package openoffice.org-core03-2.0.0-3 is already installed package openoffice.org-core01-2.0.0-3 is already installed package openoffice.org-base-2.0.0-3 is already installed package openoffice.org-calc-2.0.0-3 is already installed package openoffice.org-core02-2.0.0-3 is already installed package openoffice.org-core03u-2.0.0-3 is already installed package openoffice.org-core04u-2.0.0-3 is already installed package openoffice.org-core05u-2.0.0-3 is already installed package openoffice.org-core09-2.0.0-3 is already installed package openoffice.org-core10-2.0.0-3 is already installed package openoffice.org-draw-2.0.0-3 is already installed package openoffice.org-gnome-integration-2.0.0-3 is already installed package openoffice.org-graphicfilter-2.0.0-3 is already installed package openoffice.org-impress-2.0.0-3 is already installed package openoffice.org-javafilter-2.0.0-3 is already installed package openoffice.org-math-2.0.0-3 is already installed package openoffice.org-pyuno-2.0.0-3 is already installed package openoffice.org-spellcheck-2.0.0-3 is already installed package openoffice.org-testtool-2.0.0-3 is already installed package openoffice.org-writer-2.0.0-3 is already installed package openoffice.org-xsltfilter-2.0.0-3 is already installed [root@localhost RPMS]# cd /root/OOo_2.0.0_LinuxIntel_install/rpms/desktop-integration bash: cd: /root/OOo_2.0.0_LinuxIntel_install/rpms/desktop-integration: No such file or directory [root@localhost RPMS]# cd /root/OOo_2.0.0_LinuxIntel_install/RPMS/desktop-integration [root@localhost desktop-integration]# rpm -Uvih *rpm Preparing... ########################################### [100%] 1:openoffice.org-mandriva########################################### [100%] [root@localhost desktop-integration]# cd /root/OOo_2.0.0_LinuxIntel_install/RPMS [root@localhost RPMS]# rpm -Uvih *rpm Preparing... ########################################### [100%] package openoffice.org-core08-2.0.0-3 is already installed package openoffice.org-core07-2.0.0-3 is already installed package openoffice.org-core06-2.0.0-3 is already installed package openoffice.org-core05-2.0.0-3 is already installed package openoffice.org-core04-2.0.0-3 is already installed package openoffice.org-core03-2.0.0-3 is already installed package openoffice.org-core01-2.0.0-3 is already installed package openoffice.org-base-2.0.0-3 is already installed package openoffice.org-calc-2.0.0-3 is already installed package openoffice.org-core02-2.0.0-3 is already installed package openoffice.org-core03u-2.0.0-3 is already installed package openoffice.org-core04u-2.0.0-3 is already installed package openoffice.org-core05u-2.0.0-3 is already installed package openoffice.org-core09-2.0.0-3 is already installed package openoffice.org-core10-2.0.0-3 is already installed package openoffice.org-draw-2.0.0-3 is already installed package openoffice.org-gnome-integration-2.0.0-3 is already installed package openoffice.org-graphicfilter-2.0.0-3 is already installed package openoffice.org-impress-2.0.0-3 is already installed package openoffice.org-javafilter-2.0.0-3 is already installed package openoffice.org-math-2.0.0-3 is already installed package openoffice.org-pyuno-2.0.0-3 is already installed package openoffice.org-spellcheck-2.0.0-3 is already installed package openoffice.org-testtool-2.0.0-3 is already installed package openoffice.org-writer-2.0.0-3 is already installed package openoffice.org-xsltfilter-2.0.0-3 is already installed [root@localhost RPMS]# Linux RPM-based Installation Prerequisites If you want Java integration, you want to make sure you have the latest JRE installed. It should be at least JRE 1.4. You can find the JRE for Linux at the Java JRE for Linux download site. Alternatively, it might be included on the installation media of your distro as part of a complete Java development environment. Installation Steps 1. Unpack the downloaded image into a directory. For example, currently, the following command would unpack into the current directory: 2. tar xvzf OOo_2.0.0_LinuxIntel_install.tar.gz 3. Su to root, if necessary. 4. cd into the directory with the unpacked image. This could be RPMS. 5. Delete any rpm files that do not apply to your system. For example, on a Fedora Core 3 system, delete any rpms specific to another distribution such as openofficeorg-suse-menus-1.9.79-1.noarch.rpm. 6. Then execute rpm -Uvih *rpm.

Thanx for the reply As I said, I did! For some reason it does not work. Here is the paste. [root@Silver java]# su [root@Silver java]# cd /home/kowash [root@Silver kowash]# chmod a+x jre-1_5_0-linux-i586-rpm.bin chmod: cannot access `jre-1_5_0-linux-i586-rpm.bin': No such file or directory [root@Silver kowash]# Thanx for helping out Kowash

HI Thanx for all the help in the past, but the newbie is back. I am trying to install JAVA. I downloaded the 1.5 file from the java sight and tried to install it. Unfortunately I don't get it installed. Obviously it is an Id10t problem, but I just don't know what to do. I follow the instructions, but the only response I effectively get is that there is no such file or directory. [kowash@Silver ~]$ su [root@Silver kowash]# cd /home/kowash [root@Silver kowash]# sh jre-1_5_0-linux-i586-rpm.bin sh: jre-1_5_0-linux-i586-rpm.bin: No such file or directory [root@Silver kowash]# sh jre-1_5_0-linux-i586-rpm.bin sh: jre-1_5_0-linux-i586-rpm.bin: No such file or directory [root@Silver kowash]# cd /home/kowash/java [root@Silver java]# sh jre-1_5_0-linux-i586-rpm.bin sh: jre-1_5_0-linux-i586-rpm.bin: No such file or directory [root@Silver java]# su [root@Silver java]# sh /jre-1_5_0-linux-i586-rpm.bin sh: /jre-1_5_0-linux-i586-rpm.bin: No such file or directory [root@Silver java]# sh home/kowash/jre-1_5_0-linux-i586-rpm.bin sh: home/kowash/jre-1_5_0-linux-i586-rpm.bin: No such file or directory [root@Silver java]# sh /home/kowash/jre-1_5_0-linux-i586-rpm.bin sh: /home/kowash/jre-1_5_0-linux-i586-rpm.bin: No such file or directory [root@Silver java]# The install file is copied into my home/kowash directory.

Open the terminal and then: - 'su' to root - open smb.conf in vim (cd /etc/samba ; vim ./smb.conf) - make your changes - * to save them: press 'esc' button; type ':'; type wq (w- write; q- quit) * vim help That should work. <{POST_SNAPBACK}> Thanx, My config after I changed it looked like this [KOWASHOFFICE] path = /home/kowash/Office comment = /home/kowash/Office public = yes guest ok = yes writable = yes wide links = no Unfortunately it did not work. It was a nice lesson. :D Sometimes I feel like. It's only me and my PC on some foreign Island called - Ourownthingsworkdifferent :lol: Anyway. I am eagerly awaiting your reply Bye

Great, That is going to work. Even though I changed it in konqueror it did not change in smb.cong The only problem I have now, is being able to save the changes I have made. i am getting a error that I am not authorized to change it. I am the only user, logged in to my name. what can I do? Kowash

No, I haven't I will try it. Thanx Kowash

No, I haven't I don't know how. Kowash

Hi, thanx for your help It is not working. The error message says that the directory does not exist. This is what I typed. My xpmachine is called office I have a sharedfolder on my xpmachine called LAptop. My user name is kowash and my password is diligence On my linux laptop in my home directory is my user account called kowash In that directory I created a directory that is called office. MY COMMDAND $smbmount //office/LAptop /home/kowash/office/ -o username=kowash%diligence MY ERROR MESSAGE //office/LAptop does not exist Please tell me what I am doing wrong. Have a great day Kowash

I changed my login username with WinXP and made it and the password the same as the Mandrake 10.2 but it made no difference. I think I just need to set up SAMBA correctly. Thanx for the help Kowash

No Should the usernames and passwords be the same? I will do that. I don't know how to change anything in samba except for mounting. I did set up the share on the documents. I believe that is the only way you can do that with SAMBA. Don't know if I am right?! I will be back with an answer about if it works soon Kowash

Hi Thanx for all the help in the past. You guys are really awesome. MY PROBLEM. When I copy a file to my Mandrake 10.2 LE laptop it gives me the access denied error. I am able to browse but can not get the permision to copy. I TRIED. I have already got my whole network running fine. I can print over the lan from Linux to Win. I have shared internet connections and I am able to browse both ways. I changed the settings on the SHARE for the directories to all users. I checked in SAMBA to see if the folders are shared and they are. MY SETUP Mandrake 10.2 LE with KDE 3.2 on my laptop connected through a Switch to my WinXP Box. Thanx for your help have a great day. Kowash

It worked Kowash

Thanx Have a great day Kowash

GREAT It worked. Thanx a lot. It is working fantastic. In case there are others, the "allow messages download from the internet" check box is on the security page of the settings menu for K-mail. Here is the root to follow. Settings-configure kmail-security-reading. It is the second check box from the top Have a great day. Kowash NS. I don't know how to change the topic to add [solved]. How do I do it?

No, but I read through all of the other stuff I could find and nothing could give me the answer. I took time to read through it, and worked out the answer I needed. In the case of anyone like me who don't know, LINUX Newbie, here is the answer. If you are using SAMBA offcourse. in the command line of konqueror simply type smb://<ip> and you will be able to browse the other PC. Please remember that all my shares and mounts have already been sorted out. I was able to do all the other stuff, I just did not know this piece of information. Thanx for your patience Qchem Have a great day and thanks to all that always help out. Kowash

It worked ! Thanks a lot. My test print was great, but now this created another crisis. If I print a 2 or more pages document from Openoffice it does not print the second page. Although, if I specify it to print only the second page it prints it with no hassles. Kowash

How do I browse other PC's over a network? My network is working fine. I am able to ping the other PC My Laptop is running Mandrake 10.2 and The other is a XP Box. Connected via a 8 channel switch. I am using SAMBA to network. Kowash
