Seems like a great tool but it´s not installed on my system and I don´t know the package name for urpmi... nevermind urpmi mc seemed to have done the trick

Why don´t you grab a firefox 1.5 rpm from Mandriva Cooker?

It looks nice but I can´t seem to get kbfx (0.4.9.1) compiled when configuring it exists with the following error: configure: error: cannot find sources (acinclude.m4) in . or ..

edit->preferences->tabs->force links that open in new windows to open is tabs....

We both seem to be using a wrong character ¨ ¨ ¨ ¨ ¨ ¨ ¨ instead of " " " " " " "

This is a bit off topic but do you use Opera? as you seem to use ¨ for ", which strangely enough happens to me in Opera under Mandriva but not Ubuntu...

But now the real fun can begin: upgrading kde and installing binary video drivers :P

Thanks, I guess I won´t need shorewall then, I like my computer to be free for recources to do ¨fun¨ things not security software, if I don´t really need it.

Nothing running, but should I enable a firewall or is my router enough (it´s a fairly recent linksys, the firmware is OS and based on linux)?

Hi, this might be a stupid question but what is ssh and how do I know if it´s running on my computer? I´ve been on the net almost continuously with XP for 3 years and never had any problems, at least nothing my firewall and av couldn´t take care off. I have a hardware firewall/nat router but need to have some ports forwarded, do I need some extra protection?

I think by default the plugins are installed in these paths: /usr/lib/opera/plugins/ /usr/lib/mozilla/plugins/ /usr/lib/netscape/plugins-libc6/ /usr/lib/firefox/plugins/ you can check in Opera "Help->About Opera" your plugin paths and from "Tools->Advanced->Plugins" which plugins Opera sees. This way you can see which are your plugin paths and which ones are installed. (Opera uses these other paths as well, so it's easy to check)

It was that day I really started hating depencies :P

I had this problem a few weeks ago when mde kde wouldn't want to install because it depended on packages which were older than the installed ones. Mmodem said this would happen when they were in the process of updating their server and to try again later.... (by then I had already installed mandriva's kde so I don't know if this would have fixed it)

I ran across this last week, though I didn't test it yet: http://www.kde-look.org/content/show.php?content=31152 Some icon themes from plf are proper (ie the the kmenu.png is called menuk-mdk.png already, so once you install them the star disappears, when using that theme)

For Opera if you use a version below the latest 9 beta, it can´t use the mplayerplugin unless you compile it yourself and modify the source code slightly. In the latest versions mplayer works for some, not for other, if it doesn´t you need to recompile with the --enable-x flag and use gecko sdk version 1.6 (but not higher or lower) I have working versions, I could attach them if you want.... (btw: opera doesn´t use system settings but you have to set them yourselves in the prefences)

Cooker contrib has a couple of precompiled ¨vanilla¨ kernel rpm´s, as recent as 2.6.17rc1....

Hi, I don´t know how to solve your problem but installation is pretty straight forward. I think there´s just one pitfall and that´s choosing to have the bootloader installed on the right drive/partition. Also chose the GRUB bootloader instead of Mandriva´s default LILO because it´s a bit safer in case you have to make some changes to your partitions or want to uninstall Mandriva or install an extra OS.

Yup, I get bored with the looks of kicker easily. I´ve updated to 352 from cooker and the option´s still not there, only way to change it is via a workaround....

Does anyone know how to get this option back in the configure panel menu?

Well in the end it turned out only one line needed to be added to kdmrc for everything to work, although I am interested in a ¨Vanilla¨ version of KDE for Mandriva, do you have link? I really want to be able to make KDE look the way I want it without all the changes both MDE and Mandriva (like the star or mde logo) put in KDE

I managed to empty the trashbin and I´m back into X again :) Though for some reason all entries in my k-menu and some icons disappeared from my user...

I downloaded KDE for Ubuntu and Konqueror gives me different numbers than Nautilus, it does show the partition is full, there's a huge /.Trash-root/ directory but I don't know how to empty it.

Some other wierd thing, during start up there's an error message saying it has 0 bytes free space available on the drive. Now when I look at it from ubuntu it also says 0 bytes available but the total number of space used by all files <<< than the disk size. (ie. contents 5 GB, Volume 9.8 GB; free space 0 bytes\)

this didn't work :(

I'm getting the following error from x after updating my system today Fatal server error: could not open default font 'fixed' I believe this is the relevant section from xorg.conf, which should be the correct font path Section "Files" # Multiple FontPath entries are allowed (they are concatenated together) # By default, Mandrake 6.0 and later now use a font server independent of # the X server to render fonts. FontPath "unix/:-1" EndSection
