Dumb question: what happens when you want to delete a file?

If you delete it from one machine, and then rsync, it will copy it back again. If you delete it from the other machine, and then rsync, it will copy it again. I guess the only way to delete it is to make sure it's deleted from both sides before the rsync?

you can use the flag:

--delete				delete files that don't exist on sender

Edit: Ooops jboy was faster

have you tried restart X (ctrl-alt-backspace) ?

if you have a usb-stick you can dd all.img (found in Mandriva/official/2007.0/i586/install/images/ at any mirror) to it, then reboot and boot from that, and choose upgrade.

kdesu is in kdebase-progs:

$ rpm -ql kdebase-progs | grep kdesu
/usr/bin/kdesu
/usr/bin/kdesud

so 2007.0 official also points to the community tree...

just discovered that quanta plus is in the package 'kdewebdev'

I have the same problem. I have used ftp.sunet.se since I installed mdv2006 without errors. Some days ago it gave that message to me the first time, after it has installed ( as far as I know, all installed packages work). Haven't trying changing mirror yet though.

To copy and paste I just select the text and then press the middle button of the mouse ( or left and right at the same time if I don't have a 3-button mouse ) wherever I want to paste it. (I'm using KDE though, don't know if it's the same in gnome)

Which version of Mandriva 2006 are you running? (free?)

Have you set up the repositories using easy-urpmi (link at the top of this page)?

A .tar is an archive, so it shall probably be opened by fileroller.

You shall not login as root other than in a terminal! Doing that you can easily ruin your system.

on my old cooker partition, (which I abandoned before summer) I have a folder .kde/share/apps/kmail/mail/:

[mhn@secret mhn]$ ls .kde/share/apps/kmail/mail/
drafts/  inbox/  inboxmbox  outbox/  sent-mail/  sentmbox  trash/

don't remember if I've created those myself though, or they have changed locations.

Nowadays I use thunderbird (mdv 2006), so cant say if it's the same now

Try removing Kat, it use to slow down systems a lot.

In a terminal write:

su
(enter root password)
urpme kat

I can only say I got the same error with my Kodak cx7530. Instead I use gphoto2 from the CLI to get the pics.

I connect the cam and start it, then:

gphoto2 -L /store_00010001/DCIM/100K7530
gphoto2 --folder=/store_00010001/DCIM/100K7530 --get-file=X-Y

Open "(KDE) Control Center" (kcontol), then click "Peripherals" and "Digital Camera" and add your camera.

(By some strange reason I can't see any cameras listed there since I reinstalled Mdv 2007, is it any package I miss?)

You can autodetect it via Digicam also if you use that.

just type 'which skype' and you will see were it is located

Didn't fix it after all...

Does anyone know which scripts klaptop run?

fixed it.

changed to "touch /tmp/suspend" in /usr/sbin/pmsuspend

Which script do Klaptop run when you choose "Suspend" from the Klaptop-icon in the system tray?

/etc/acpi/actions/sleep.sh shall create a file called /tmp/suspend, but no such file is created. When I wake up my computer again (by pressing the powerkey), it directly shuts down, because /etc/acpi/actions/power.sh doesn't find /tmp/suspend.

I've temporarily solved it by comment some lines in power.sh, but then it won't shut down when I normally press the switch in order to shut it down.

I can help with swedish.

I have the same problem as sofasurfer, even if I have 2006.1. I have to download all the updates about 3 times before all is good. Haven't tried to change mirror yet. When I uninstall something, even if its just one small package, it takes a lot of time.

My laptop also do that things sometimes. When it hangs during shutdown I just press the lid-button, and then it continues.

The other problem is more rare and happens only when the computer has been up a long time, or I have restarted KDE some times, I've no answear to that.
