  1. Super user filemanager (Konquerer)

    in Installing Mandriva

    Posted

    Hi again earny,

     

    hmm, I am not sure, but I guess you tried a different way than the one I suggested - you deleted a whole dir first? I don't understand why.

    And did you uninstall the kdeartwork package via the MCC?

    What did you do with the symbolic link - that was the important part?

    You had set the link by typing in your /usr/share

     

    ln -s ./applnk-mdk/.hidden ./applnk-mdk.hidden

     

    When you navigate with konqueror to /usr/share you can see this link - the name is: applnk-mdk.hidden (its not a directory)

     

    I am a bit lost here. Maybe someone else can can be more helpfull than I ?

  4. urpmi: missing signature

    in Installing Mandriva

    Posted

    derxen -

     

    - you did an upgrade from 9.1 to 9.2?

    - did you changed your contrib sources to the new 9.2 tree?

    - they changed (as far as I can see) the relative path to the hdlist.cz for contrib, it's 'not' ../base/hdlist.cz, but only: hdlist.cz

     

    Here is my /etc/urpmi/urpmi.cfg file (please note that there is also an entry for rpm's on my HD which will not fit into your configuration ...)

     

     

    Installation CD 1 (x86) (cdrom1) removable://mnt/cdrom/Mandrake/RPMS {

 hdlist: hdlist.Installation CD 1 (x86) (cdrom1).cz

 with_hdlist: ../../Mandrake/base/hdlist1.cz

 removable: /dev/hdb

 key-ids: 70771ff3

}



Installation CD 2 (x86) (cdrom2) removable://mnt/cdrom/Mandrake/RPMS2 {

 hdlist: hdlist.Installation CD 2 (x86) (cdrom2).cz

 with_hdlist: ../../Mandrake/base/hdlist2.cz

 removable: /dev/hdb

    At the moment many mdk 9.2 users are having problems with the urpmi sources, what I heard.

    I don't, but I made a clean install, and have set up the urpmi sources manually in MCC. Easy urpmi at the moment generates incorrect sources for 9.2!!

    And: my lists are not empty at all, all descriptions are there!

    Do you have some of these:

     

    /usr/share/applnk/System/ScreenSavers

    /usr/share/applnk/System/ScreenSavers/KBanner.desktop

    /usr/share/applnk/System/ScreenSavers/KBlob.desktop

    /usr/share/applnk/System/ScreenSavers/KBouboule.desktop

    /usr/share/applnk/System/ScreenSavers/KEuphoria.desktop

    /usr/share/applnk/System/ScreenSavers/KFlux.desktop

    /usr/share/applnk/System/ScreenSavers/KFountain.desktop

    /usr/share/applnk/System/ScreenSavers/KGravity.desktop

    /usr/share/applnk/System/ScreenSavers/KLines-saver.desktop

     

     

    ...??

  9. Lilo clean up

    in Installing Mandriva

    Posted

    Earny, would it help if I post here my lilo.config file, from a fresh 9.2 install?

     

    lilo in MBR

    Windows on hda1

    9.2 on hda9

    (German keyboard layout, though, just change it to us/Dutch :lol:, from your original lilo.config)

    The last entry is for my 9.1 ML on hda8 - remove it.

     

     

    you would have to edit your lilo.config, with the good partition number, your keyboard layout etc., your cd-rom etc.

     

    boot=/dev/hda

map=/boot/map

vga=normal

default="linux"

keytable=/boot/de-latin1-nodeadkeys.klt

nowarn

timeout=400

    No, it isn't in 9.2

     

    You get it back creating a new shortcut/icon on your desktop.

    Execute command is: konqueror.

    Then check: run (or execute??, sorry no English version here) as different user.

     

    If you want a konsole su:

    execute command is: konsole

    Check the 'run as different user'

     

    In Gnome btw I found the neat little gnomesu, works the same way.

  13. first time impressions of mandrake

    in Software

    Posted

    3. both webbrowsers, (mozilla and konqueor) always open a mandrakesoft webpage and not my home page

     

    Do I get it right: when starting the webbrowser Konqueror you want him to open/start with a specific html page? i.e. your homepage?

     

    - Start Konqueror.

    - Open your preferred website

    - go to the main bar: settings (or options?, sorry don't have an English version here)

    - go to (click on): save profile 'webbrowsing' - click ok.

    Restarting Konqueror: now it will open your page.

     

    That's how it works here.

  15. Aurox Linux

    in Other Linux and Unix Distributions

    Posted

    Yes, I installed Aurox 9.1 -

     

    Comments --hmm.

    Aurox (not the Live CD) is available in Polish, Spanish, French, German (and more?, but no English release). 4 releases in a year, you can buy it where you buy your magazin. 7 cd's, and a magazin: how to install, first steps with linux etc. Costs: 10,50 Euro (12 US $ ??).

     

    Based on RedHat, Aurox comes with a lot of additional software: Nvidia driver, Java, DVD - Mplayer, xmms -MP3, a wide range of educational software, astronomy, maths, kids software. Improved internationalization. Apt and synaptic.

     

    Free download, but no fast download mirror, no contrib-packages, a very small community.

     

    It installs as smooth as RedHat.

    The big problem: not 100% compatible with RedHat. You have to try which Fedora or freshrpms will work - or compile your favourite progs on your own, if they are not part of Aurox.

     

    Compared to Mandrake 9.1 with all urpmi sources, the community etc.: Mandrake is way better. My very personal impression - and I don't run a server which might be a point for Aurox, I don't know.

  18. texstar's gnome 2.4

    in Software

    Posted

    texstar just put up an new package called gnome-2.4.0-1tex that installs all the gnome dependencies.  ...

     

    I installed today texstar's Gnome 2.4 using 'gnome-2.4.0-1tex - (MCC, software installation). All needed packages got installed. The only missing thing was the clock-applet in the panel. I manually had to install the libpanel-applet rpm (texstar), rearrange the desktop icons and the panel, save the settings when logging out.

    Everything is fine and fast incl. my own compiled GIMP 1.3.20.

  19. Opera7.11 & Mozilla1.4 web page weirdness (done for now)

    in Software

    Posted

    And when you are at the Opera site and at home - don't forget to download some WONDERFUL skins. They are lovely! When you click on download they will install straight away into /home/%user/.opera/skins, each skin is one file.

     

    And the new Beta Releases of Opera are providing a nice surprise. No more image ads, but pure text based ads in a smaller window related to your interests. I'm getting 90% text links to Linux - they look the same as with Google.

  20. Opera7.11 & Mozilla1.4 web page weirdness (done for now)

    in Software

    Posted

    hi chris,

     

    (someone please correct me if I'm wrong ...)

     

    what you encounter is how different browsers are handling and interpreting html and css code, in your examples I think it's about fixed tabels, borders and something like that.

    Mozilla and Opera are displaying 'exactly' all the mess the web designer/webmaster has done when writing the page for IE only - IE and Konqui are more 'tolerant' (don't know how to word it) about the W3 standard.

     

    In Opera the only thing I know is, for these sites:

    View - Zoom - 120%, or faster: look at the zoom button on the right :P

    Don't know in Mozilla.

     

    The good thing about this is: you see the quality of the web designer!
