Hi there. Sorry for this basic question but I forgot how to configure X server from console. I change my monitor and of course my Xserver does't recognize my new monitor. The resolution is out of range. I went to console and tried #/etc/X11/XF86Config Permision denied How can I set up the resolution? BTW my monitor is ACER AL1716 and on the User Manual is said that can support 1280x1024, but my X server doesn't support this resolution. Maybe I need some new drivers for this resolution? Thanks

yes. I logged with ssh, then su install everything, open Mozilla and the ERROR. I don't understand why it works on my local machine but remotely no.

Hello to everyone! I hope it's the right place for this question. I tried to install Joomla on my web server . First I installed locally. For installing Joomla apache, php, mysql is needed. I installed all. After that joomla papackage must be ununpacked in the /var/www/http folder. Than an web installer tooks everything. When I installed locally I could open the web installer with a web browser (Mozilla), but when I tried to install on a remote server an error: Access forbidden! You don't have permission to access the requested object. It is either read-protected or not readable by the server. Error 403 Apache/2.2.6 (Mandriva Linux/PREFORK-8.1mdv2008.0) I don't know how to overcame this. To be more specific. Why locally I can open with Mozilla /var/www/http/joomla/index.php and from another computer I get the error message? Thanks [moved from Software by spinynorman]

So ... should I leave it like this? No worries? :)

I inserted an PCMCIA card and suddenly everything frozen. Keyboard, mouse, everything. I had no choices and I reset my computer. After that, the FSCK start and fix some inodes problems and after that some programs doesn't start (Amarok for example). I reinstalled and it works, but with Adobe Acrobat it doesn't work. Could be from that crash? I'm sorry if is a stupid question.

Now I don't know how to uninstall Can anyone give me some advices? Thanks.

ok, thanks, but now all users are looked in their own home directory, but I want one of them to don't be looked and can see the root directory. It is possible? Here is my /etc/proftpd.conf ServerName "ProFTPD" ServerType standalone DefaultServer on DefaultRoot ~ Port 21 Umask 022 MaxInstances 30 User nobody Group nogroup SystemLog /var/log/proftpd.log TransferLog /var/log/xferlog <Directory /*> AllowOverwrite on

Hello. Sorry if this is a basic question. I installed on my computer proftpd. I create 2 users: user01 and user02. When I connect to my server through ftp command, both user can see all my computer. I want just one of them to can see all my files (for ex. user01) and the other I don't want to see the root directory (I want that user02 can see just the files from his /home/user02 directory). Can you help me? Thanks.

I use Amarok. Thanks I found. In KMix I increase PCM level and now it's fine. BTW I don't know what is PSM :)

Hi there. It seems strange to me but when I'm in Linux the volume on my computer is lower than when I'm in Win. I tried from “Volume Control” “Volume Monitor” but still same.

When I try to start the Phosphor Screen saver the following text appear on the screen: Unrecognized character \xEF at /usr/bin/xscreensaver-text line 60 (#1) (F) The Perl parser has no idea what to do with the specified character in your Perl script (or eval). Perhaps you tried to run a compressed script, a binary program or a directory as a Perl program. Uncaught exception from user code: Unrecognized character \xEF at /usr/bin/xscreensaver-text line 60. at \xEF at /usr/bin/xscreensaver-text line 60 but if I run from a console: /usr/lib/xscreensaver/phosphor -program 'cat text.txt' everything works fine. I mean on the screen appear the text from the file text.txt Any idea what to do?

I discovered another small problem on my Mandriva. I tried to use the Phosphor screen saver and an error message appear. I saw the same error message at the FlipText screen saver. Also in the previous version of the Phosphor screen saver it was possible to configure from Options button a program to be run. Now there are less options. Have anyone else has the same problem, or just me? Thanks [moved from Software by spinynorman]
