are you using desklets for your taskbar and pager AI?

If you're not root, you need to specify the full path to some of those commands. ie. /sbin/ifconfig They might not work even then, depending on your setup. You may have to be root.

I think Nvu is what you're after, its designed to be a Dreamweaver for linux. Their site has a mandrake rpm for download: http://nvu.com/download.html

Welcome to the Internet!

I think the problem is that in your main httpd2.conf file (called something like that and located in /etc/httpd/conf/ or somewhere similar) has a localhost site and document root defined which aren't i n your virtual hosts file. You may want to create a VirtualHost *:80 for localhost with the httpd.conf defined document root or perhaps change that DocumentRoot and make localhost a ServerAlias of one of your existing VirtualHosts. Unless you're a guru this is always a bit of a game of trial and error, Apache's log files are usually quite helpful. A few other things: * Your server alias shouldn't be the same as the server name, I don't know if that would cause errors in apache but its not necessary. You'd use it to point www.yyy.com or maybe zzz.net to the same site as yyy.com * I think if you have the "NameVirtualHost *:80" directive, each of "<VirtualHost 192.168.1.10>" needs to read <VirtualHost *:80> instead. * If you also want one of the hosts to use HTTPS as well, NameVirtualHost *:443 <VirtualHost *:443> ServerName domain.net ServerPath /var/www/domain.net DocumentRoot /var/www/domain.net/htdocs ServerAlias www.domain.net </VirtualHost> Because the requested website is encrypted in the SSL-ised HTTP packet, you can only have one HTTPS site per IP address.

I made a short guide to virtual hosting here: http://mandrakeusers.org/index.php?showtopic=17146

The files are owned by root so that not just any old user can mess up your website. If you want to change it so you own the files, login as root (su at a terminal) then do the command "chown -R username /var/www/html" without the quotes

Could you use http://www.musicpd.org/ (MPD) as root and connect to it using a normal user client?its supposed to be network transparent so it shouldn't have a problem with a different user on the same computer

Murda, what security level do you have mandrake set to?

Perhaps don't have the alsa development libraries and bits installed?

If you change that from averaged over 6 months to 1 month, Ubuntu is on top

You could try getting them to install iFolder :D

Now maybe i'm being thick, but if you can read the dvd in a computer you can rip it. If worst comes to worst you can always do dd if=/dev/hdc of=/isoimage.iso If they've broken dvds so much that they won't even play in computer dvd players, theres always analogue cabling...

h264 maybe, but I don't think there are any working encoders as of yet. The VLC guys and ffmpeg are working on it at the moment.

be like that, i'm still right. whats the definition of free software?

well they *are* freesoftware applications, so if you want to run them as root that desparately you can edit the source yourself... _THAT_ is the point of free software, not some bizarre desire to run as root.

Has anyone else downloaded it? I've got all the zips, the md5sums match. I unzip them, then cat them together as is shown in the installation file but I somehow get a different md5sum for that finished file despite the zips downloading perfectly. Has anyone any ideas?

graphical ssh? isn't that missing the whole point of ssh. All you have to do is: ssh username@hostnameorIP -X where username is the user you want to login as on the remote machine. The -X is there for if you want to run graphical applications from that ssh session. It may not be necessary on mandrake, I can't remember.

Later versions of Windows can use the IPP (internet printing protocol), so should be able to print using cups. In Windows control panel, I think you add a printer and give it location http://IPAddressOfMandrakeBox:631 it should work fine. Might need to install drivers in windows.

do you want the proxy server to ask for a username and password or is open access ok? If you want anyone on your network to be able to access the net through the proxy without a password you could redirect outgoing traffic at the router to the proxy server except in the case where the traffic has come from the proxy. Shorewall is good for this. edit; sorry, didn't read the 'cool part'

gentoo for me starts in 1/3 of the time a mandrake system, god knows how much quicker than fedora with that stupid graphical boot. Openoffice starts in half the time. Elsewhere there isn't much of a difference if any, but in those places its really nice.

You might not find this screenshot aesthetically stunning but its technologically brilliant. Movies can be made transparent in totem and dragged around without dropping a frame (though cpu usage does hit 100, perhaps not surprisingly). Been waiting for this sort of stuff in linux for so long :D You'll also notice a little glitch in the top left, thats because the menus have a nice fade in/out, and the screenshot has captured the actions menu fading out. Didn't want to lose quality with a jpeg, so its here: http://www.mountainpictures.net/screenshot-180105.png (~700k)

I've heard on a few occasions that compiling for i586 actually makes bigger binaries without any extra performance. Not sure how true that is. PROGRAM POINTLESS RANT It does seem ridiculous to me though, a system like mandrake really desires a 200MHz+ computer, which means the mmx extensions and an i686 system. IIRC i586 starts at about 90MHz and ends at roughly 150MHz depending on the manufacturer, whats the point in compiling for that tiny range when an OS other than mandrake would be by far a better choice? END POINTLESS RANT

postfix/courier/cyrus-sasl for authenticated smtp: http://www.gentoo.org/doc/en/virt-mail-howto.xml As the URL suggests, its for gentoo, but hopefully it only means rethinking a few commands.
