Open a terminal and type:

df -T

(That's a upper-case T)

If you use KMail, I believe Klam will integrate itself with that. In KMail, look under the Tools menu.

For Busy Cursor go to Appearances and Themes> Launch Feedback and select " No Busy Cursor".

For the other thing, right click the Panel at the bottom of the desktop and go to Panel Menu> Configure Panel> Appearance tab and un-check the "Enable Icon Mouseover Effects."

hi, there is a free Antivirus download for Linux from Bitdefender at:-

 

http://buy.bitdefender.com/bd/site/downloads.php?menu_id=21

 

but I dont know how to install and run it?

<{POST_SNAPBACK}>

Download the rpm.

Open konqueror and go to the directory where you downloaded it to.

Right-click on the rpm and choose software installer.

Enter your root password when prompted.

That should do it.

Look in /usr/share/doc for documentation on bitdefender.

mount -t vfat /dev/usb /mnt/usbkey

I don't think you need the -w option as it mounts read/write by default.

you have no need for it unless you run a Linux mail server for a windows network or somthing like that. No spyware either. I would recommend a rootkit detector or two:

rkhunter

chkrootkit

As root, you can type umount -l /mnt/cdrom

-l is the "lazy" option. You should be able to eject the cd now.

I use sftp via konqueror.

In the address window, I type:

sftp://lynchmob@192.168.0.xxx

and am prompted for a password to the lynchmob account on the 192.168.0.xxx computer and then am connected.

I have /etc/hosts set up so I can use aliases:

192.168.0.1  computer1.local comp1

and, so, all I need type to reach the host named computer1.local is:

sftp://lynchmob@comp1

The IP address you typed is the IP address of the router, not the dlink site.

lynchmob

Do you use the actual partition info as an argument?

ie.:

dumpe2fs /dev/sda1

or

debugreiserfs /dev/sda6

Or do you point to the entire device?

lynchmob

These are permissions as listed with the ls command.

r=read

w=write

x=executeable

s=setuid

Right click the directory and choose delete.

I voted 2006 on the poll but I also have LE2005 and 10.1 installed on different partitions and/or machines. 

<{POST_SNAPBACK}>

Same here.

Suse has Packman and Guru that have some of the same stuff as PLF.You add them as Yast source repositories.

I fixed it by redoing my sources via easy-urpmi and then running urpmi.removemedia -a. After that I pasted the new update-source commands generated by easy-urpmi into bash and ran them.

I got them working but there's got to be a better solution than adding this:

/etc/init.d/harddrake restart
mknod /dev/sda1 b 8 1
mknod /dev/sdb1 b 16 1
mount -t reiserfs /dev/sda1 /mnt/data1
mount -t reiserfs /dev/sdb1 /mnt/data2

to /etc/rc.d/rc.local.

lynchmob

There is no /dev/sda.

My 2006.05 install is on /dev/hda but I have 2 sata drives for storage that were available on my previous install (2005le). Problem is I dont have access to them now. In MCC>Hardware , only hda is listed but it does list the vt6420 sata raid controller. When I do a dmesg > textfile, the part pertaining to scsi says:

SCSI subsystem initialized
libata version 1.11 loaded.
sata_via version 1.1
ACPI: PCI Interrupt 0000:00:0f.0[B] -> Link [ALKA] -> GSI 20 (level, low) -> IRQ 20

 Vendor: ATA       Model: WDC WD360GD-00FN  Rev: 35.0
 Type:   Direct-Access                      ANSI SCSI revision: 05

So they are recognized by the kernel and a lsmod shows:

sata_via                5700  0
libata                 42116  1 sata_via
scsi_mod              121096  2 sg,libata

Taking a look in /dev/scsi shows two listings:

/dev/scsi/host0/bus0/target0/lun0

/dev/scsi/host1/bus0/target0/lun0

So is this just a matter of doing:

ln -s  /dev/scsi/host0/bus0/target0/lun0  /dev/sda1
ln -s  /dev/scsi/host1/bus0/target0/lun0  /dev/sdb1

and then putting entries in /etc/fstab? Or am I missing somthing.

TIA

Grisoft's free anti-virus seems to not be downloadable now, at least for the Windows platform. I searched for it a while ago on their website. Their definition of free is limiting, in that it's OK for private use. Else you have to pay. The AVG Free as it was known has disappeared, and only trial versions are available. At least for the Windows platform anyway.

AVG Free Edition

I always do that.

Thanks.

Which ones have you tried? For USA use, I find that the mirror from Penn State (carroll.cac.psu.edu) works well.

For Main, Main-update, Contrib, and Jpackage, I have used:

ftp.ciril.fr (current)

ftp.rutgers.edu

Penn State

Ga Tech

Va Tech

And a few European ones.

I use ftp.easynet.fr for my PLF and non-free PLF sources.

I have already tried everything that has been suggested before posting here( thanks BTW ) and am still trying to find out why this still happens.

The first thing I looked at was the signatures themselves and they all seemed to be okay.

If it were mirrors then I imagine the problem would be more widespread.

I guess I'll narrow this down eventually.

Thanks again. :)

lynchmob

I have had this problem occur several times recently. whenever I try to install anything via urpmi or MCC, it downloads okay but then hangs on "..Checking Signature Verification..".

I end up redoing my sources via Easy-Urpmi and that fixes the problem temporarily but usually happens the next time I try to install anything. I have used several different sets of mirrors and it happens with them all.

I'm running Mandriva 2005LE.

Any ideas?

TIA

Did you use su or su - ?

Try su -.

Here is an article I read at linux.com that may help:

http://www.linux.com/article.pl?sid=05/09/15/1655234

you may need to build the restricted access lists mentioned in the article.

Hope that helps

lynchmob

Thanks. Wget worked. I had forgotten all about that.

I'm Linux only, but if you are doing this from Windows google ftp clients for Windows

I never use M$. Just have been downloading CD isos, not DVD isos and was'nt aware of the ftp file size limitations at some mirror sites. I've been using Linux (mainly MDK/ 'driva) for about 6 years now. This is a nice site that I've lurked in anon' from time to time. Answered some Qs for me too. :)

Thought it was about time to register. Who knows, maybe I can answer a Q or 2 somtime. :D
