    sorry, I give you all the info now :P .

    I want to dl MandrakeMove from MandrakeClub. If I follow the link 

    https://www.mandrakeclub.com/torrent.php?f_=MandrakeMove-i586.iso.torrent

    It downloads the file /home/chris/tmp/mytorrent-chris.torrent then the gui asks for a place to save the file and everything is going rather nice except that the upload rate is too high ! It is the reason why I wanted to set a max upload rate.

    So I tried with btdownloadgui --max_upload_rate first then

    btdownloadheadless.py --max_upload_rate 12 /home/chris/tmp/mytorrent-chris.torrent

    It didn't work (see the errors above). So as I don't know well bt, I wondered if I had to enter the link from Mandrake club link. I tried

    btdownloadheadless.py --max_upload_rate 12 --url https://www.mandrakeclub.com/torrent.php?f_=MandrakeMove-i586.iso.torrent

    I didn't feel very confident with this command line :o

    It didn't work either !

    Here am I now :wall:

    Anon, I read the command lines concerning btdownloadgui, and already tested

    btdownloadgui.py --max_uploads 12 /home/chris/tmp/mytorrent-chris.torrent

    then I got

    error: Too many args - 0 max

    run with no args for parameter explanations

    when you run 

    btdownloadgui.py

    you get a nice explanation

    arguments are -

    --max_uploads <arg>

    the maximum number of uploads to allow at once (default to 4)

    ...

    I still don't understand why it doesn"t accept my command line :wall:

    yes, but how do you limit max upload ?

    I can't manage to use max_upload option run and near the end of the downloading of the file, upload is so high that i can't do anything else and the dl rate is going down and down ... :wall:

    :D It's working now, thanks chris z

    I just summarize all the stuff

    1- download the right java runtime from Java Run Time for mozilla 1.4 and mandrake 9.2

    choose Download J2SE v 1.4.2_03 JRE

    then j2re-1_4_0_2_03-linux-i586-rpm.bin

    2- CLOSE any instances of mozilla

    2- cp j2re-1_4_2_03-linux-i586-rpm.bin /usr/java

    make the dir with mkdir /usr/java if you haven't such dir

    then cd /usr/java

    3- chmod a+x j2re-1_4_2_03-linux-i586-rpm.bin

    4- ./j2re-1_4_2_03-linux-i586-rpm.bin

    5- rpm -ivh j2re-1_4_2_03-linux-i586.rpm

    6- cd /usr/lib/mozilla-1.4/plugins/

    7- ln -s /usr/java/j2re1.4.2_03/plugin/i386/ns610-gcc32/libjavaplugin_oji.so libjavaplugin_oji.so

    8- open mozilla, look in the about plugin menu, you should see details about java plugin

    9- test some java web pages

    Posted

    I have already done that (dl jre, make the symlink for moz plugin dir, the link was ok but no java plugin working...) but I had Mozilla open!

    So, I will redo all the stuff at home with moz closed.

    Will give you feed back. Thanks

    thanks dunno how I couldn't see it with a right click on the gnome-terminal :zzz:

    thanks bvc, however i could not find the explanations concerning the options of --geometry

    believe it is sizeH x sizeV+offset H +offsetV (but with which units ??)

    hi all,

    Is there any possibility to fix the size of an opening gnome terminal window in order that the size fits a fixed part of the screen (want to have a look at the gkrellm window but don't want to stick gkrellm window always over the others!).

     

    Not a very technical question but very practical :jester:

  14. no more sound with xmms

    in Software

    Posted

    Hi all,

    Everything was working nice on my PC (mdke 9.2, ALSA support for aureal card 8810, xmms, xine...). Yesterday, no more sound with xmms but sound with xine. At boot, Alsa seems ok, it seems that there is no changements in the list of modules (lsmod). I don't understand what happened ?

    Do I have to deinstall xmms and reinstall it ??

    Any help appreciated :thumbs:

    Thanks DragonMage

    I didn'see any grabweather in /usr/local/bin but not also in /usr/bin. However I edited .gkrellm2/user-config to change /usr/local/bin to /usr/bin and it worked perfectly well ! :lol2:

    gkrellm and gkrellm are in /usr/bin

  24. Mandrake 9.2 & urpmf

    in Installing Mandriva

    Posted

    Hi all,

    I have just migrated from 9.1 to 9.2. Everything seems ok except that i had to install ALSA drivers to support my Aureal au8810 snd card.

    I was just looking by curiosity with :

    [chris@tux chris]$ urpmf alsa

    impossible de prendre en compte la source « ftp.esat.net_ » car il n'existe aucu n fichier de liste [/var/lib/urpmi/list.ftp.esat.net_]

    impossible de prendre en compte la source « Installation CD 1 (x86) (cdrom1) » c ar il n'existe aucun fichier de liste [/var/lib/urpmi/list.Installation CD 1 (x8 6) (cdrom1)]

    impossible de prendre en compte la source « Installation CD 2 (x86) (cdrom2) » c ar il n'existe aucun fichier de liste [/var/lib/urpmi/list.Installation CD 2 (x8 6) (cdrom2)]

    impossible de prendre en compte la source « International CD (x86) (cdrom3) » ca r il n'existe aucun fichier de liste [/var/lib/urpmi/list.International CD (x86) (cdrom3)]

    impossible de prendre en compte la source « update_source » car il n'existe aucu n fichier de liste [/var/lib/urpmi/list.update_source]

    initscripts:/etc/rc.d/init.d/alsa

    initscripts:/etc/sysconfig/alsa

    ...

    It seems like /var/lib/urpmi has not been updated ?

    I checked the urpmi.conf file with cat /etc/urpmi/urpmi.conf (dunno any smarter way of ckecking the list of sources :unsure: ) . It seems ok to me:

    [chris@tux chris]$ cat /etc/urpmi/urpmi.cfg

    local {

    hdlist: hdlist.local.cz

    list: list.local

    }

     

    plf {

    hdlist: hdlist.plf.cz

    list: list.plf

    }

     

    Is it normal, how can i manage to have "clean" files ?
