I used: grep -in "the word"

logged in as user, not root. And I was in the right directory.

As far as I know it should be

grep -in "the word" <file(s) to search in> (without < and > of course)

In your example you could use a * which means all files in the directory. To limit you could also use *.txt or something.

The package you need is called libqca1-tls

I editited the modprobe.config as suggested but I do not have permissions to save the revised file. I have only setup one user on the system and set no password for administrative/root access, but regardless of that I cannot find an opportuity anywhere to login with permissions and cannot alter permissions in the etc directory or for that file.

su
<insert your root password here, as you don't have any I presume you just press enter>
kwrite /etc/modprobe.conf

That will open up modprobe.conf in kwrite with root permissions.

Hi all,

 

I'm a newbie to linux; and have just installed Mandriva on my laptop. I'm having trouble getting my Intel 2200BG wireless card to work. I have been trying to follow this post:

https://mandrivausers.org/index.php?showtop...=intel+firmware

http://learn.clemsonlinux.org/wiki/Mandrake:IPW2200

 

When I tried to configure the wireless network through the Mandriva control center, it reported that the firmware is missing.

Follow the instructions on the Easy-Urpmi page (link at the top of this page) then open a terminal and write:

su
<insert root password here>
urpmi ipw2200-firmware

then try configure wireless network again.

Did everyone else's jump forward ok without doing anything?

zdump shows the same as yours.

Edit:

# /etc/init.d/ntpd restart

?

[root@localhost erniev]# urpmi alsaconf alsa-utils alsa-plugins

no package named alsaconf

no package named alsa-plugins

Go to the Easy-Urpmi page (link at the top of this page) and follow the instructions.

After you have done that, try

urpmi alsaconf alsa-utils alsa-plugins

again.

Mandrivsen, can you clarify something for me? You told me in your last post to write the command chmod 666 /tmp/my-saved-passw in root. Do I then log out of root and enter the command echo "my-passwd" > /tmp/my-saved-passw in the konsole as a user or do I need to stay root to do this?

chmod 666 makes the file readable and writeable for everyone, so you don't need to be root to echo to it.

Maybe you already have said something about it, but have you tried to copy and paste your password into the dialogue box?

It's timing out for me... seems the page is either down or has been removed.

same for me

One app that do so is Network Monitoring ( /usr/sbin/net_monitor ) that do it to check if the connection is working.

Network Monitoring start if you left-click on network applet in the system tray in the panel (KDE).

rm -rf /tmp/* should do the work, that problem has happed once for me too.

PS: Stupid stupid firefox update procedure.

su
cp -r /usr/lib/mozilla-firefox-1.5.0.9/plugins/* /usr/lib/mozilla-firefox-1.5.0.10/plugins/

If you have used easy-urpmi, you should be able to install kshowmail via 'point and click' too (via Mandriva Control Center), because it's in mandrivas repositories.

C compiler which you can install in the same way: gcc.

or .... in a terminal type kcontrol which will get you to the 'KDE Control Center'

or, at least in mdv207, type 'kcmshell componentchooser' to get directly to the Component Chooser.

Forgot to add that I'm using 2006-KDE, where the menu-sequence that you describe is not available; sad, :sad: but many thanks, anyway.

On my mdv2006 it is: KDE Control Center -> Components -> Component Chooser -> Web Browser.

go into KDE Control Center -> KDE Components -> Component Chooser -> Web Browser.

$ startx

Fatal server error:

Server is already active for display 0

If this server is no longer running, remove /tmp/.X0-lock

and start again.

This is interesting, What does this mean?

Like it says, the server is already active for display 0. :P

"The server" means the X-server, simplified "the graphical interface" you use when running for example KDE or gnome.

'startx' would start it if it wasn't running.

You can change that behavior from the KDE control center ( -> System Administration -> Login Manager )

I use to write 'ps ax' to see all.

If you run 'ps --help' you will see available switches...

MS-only with PHP? :huh:

IIS should have something similar like apache I think... but don't know

If you use apache:

http://httpd.apache.org/docs/1.3/mod/mod_autoindex.html

just add

<Directory /web/docs>

Options Indexes

</Directory>

in httpd.conf

(replace /web/docs with the correct directory)

If you could get my webcam to work in linux, I'd only be happy!

# urpmi real-codecs-1.2.3plf

no package named real-codecs-1.2.3plf

What if you just write:

# urpmi real-codecs

You'll have to go to http://rpm.pbone.net/ to download some of them.

The default in kde is that on a restart it starts the programs that were open last logout.

This can be changed in the KDE Control Center (or by running 'kcmshell kcmsmserver' from a terminal).

Well, according to wikipedia, gcc (GNU Compiler Collection) ver. 4.1.1 includes front ends for: Ada (GCC for Ada aka GNAT), C, C++ (GCC for C++ aka G++), Fortran (GCC for Fortran aka GFortran), Java (GCC for Java aka GCJ), Objective-C and Objective-C++.

$ urpmq -i gcc-c++
Name		: gcc-c++
...
Summary	 : C++ support for gcc
Description :
This package adds C++ support to the GNU C compiler. It includes support
for most of the current C++ specification, including templates and
exception handling. It does include the static standard C++
library and C++ header files; the library for dynamically linking
programs is available separately.

I think Mandriva have splitted gcc to many packages.
