Hm. Nothing unusual on that page from here (Cooker, Gnome + Firefox 2.0.0.6). Maybe a cache cleaning and reload helps?

Maybe you can use the package "gcc-gpc" containing a pascal compiler which was build for Mandriva 10.X: http://rpm.pbone.net/index.php3/stat/4/idp...k.i586.rpm.html OTOH I would not expect it to run with a gcc 4.x version...

Nice to hear that all went well. :-) (Please don't forget to mark the subject of this thread as "solved".) Greetings, scoonma

Once you've connected both PCs with your crossover cable, this should be very easy. You even don't need dhcp; i.e. use static adresses instead Just make sure you setup your network cards (eth0) on both machines to IP numbers with different vaules like this: PC one gets 192.168.0.1 PC two gets 192.168.0.2 You also should set proper hostnames for name resolution (not just "localhost"!!!). Assume your machines are named ernie and bert. All you have to do now is edit the file /etc/hosts in each case to reflect the changes. So do the following: 1. Open a terminal window and "su" to get root access 2. Type "cd /etc" 3. Type "nano hosts" (or use your favourite text editor for this; if not installed you can do that by "urpmi nano" before). Your hosts file should have at least the following entries: 127.0.0.1 ernie localhost (this would be on the machine named ernie) 4. Just add a single linge: 192.168.0.2 bert 5. Save and exit 6. On the "bert" machine you repeat this, but the line to add is slightly different: 192.168.0.1 ernie After saving and exiting the editor you can restart your network ("service network restart") and both of the PCs should see their companion. :-) Good luck, scoonma

What you're actually looking for is the output of the command: "urpmf libQtDBus.so.4" (as root), which results in the package name containing that file (at the beginning of the line). Just urpmi that package and ready to go! :-)

Found this within the NVIDIA driver section: Chapter 25. SLI and Multi-GPU FrameRendering HTH, scoonma

You'd need at least an ssh daemon running on the machine you like to connect to. So you should do a "urpmi openssh-server" as root on your Mandriva PC, then activate it with "service sshd start". Check with drakxservices if you like to run the daemon on boot by default. You can manipulate sshd options in the file /etc/ssh/sshd_config (also contains comments on different options). Good luck!

If it is actually a linux binary, the .exe suffix should pose no problem. It may contain a self-extracting script (okay, not exactly that, but you know what I mean). @cjnine: You should be able to launch the exe in a terminal, i.e. by typing: "./shake.exe" ./ denominates the current directory and is mandatory if you want to execute a program from the folder you're in at the moment. HTH, scoonma

Hey yossarian, next time I'll wait at least 24 hours for understandable reasons. B)

Hi mudfish, you can edit your /etc/shorewall/rules file and add two lines like this: DROP $FW net tcp SMTP DROP $FW net udp SMTP $FW is your standard firewall zone, net is the zone you're connected to the internet with in this example. For more on zones and options, see additional info in the rules and zones file in /etc/shorewall. @SoulSe: Maybe he only wants to use port 465? HTH, scoonma

Okay, that was an easy one: Re-installing/selecting a theme did the trick.

Hi folks, does anyone have the same issue? Firefox lost it's navigation symbols since the update. They do not only miss in the navigation bar, but cannot be inserted here (by manual adjustment). Version before was 2.0.0.4, system is MDV 2007.1. Greetings, scoonma

No big changes, but I like it :-)

You can easily check by "set | more" in a terminal window. Set your preferred shell using the "chsh" command (or by userdrake). Normally you should have a bash shell (since it's Mandriva default); i.e. if you did not change your shell before intentionally, it should be bash. Your prompt string should be set as follows: PROMPT_COMMAND='echo -ne "33]0;${USER}@${HOSTNAME}: ${PWD}?7"' This is from /etc/bashrc, where system wide definitions for bash are set. AFAIRC the path of this file has changed compared to earlier versions, so this could be the source of your problem.

For totem, you can do all adjustments in $HOME/.gnome2/totem_config.

At first it's actually important to update your system, as was here mentioned before. However, the problem can still appear in some cases (i.e. after crash). You can cope with that by installing beryl-manager. Thus you can re-load your windows manager and/or windows decorator (Emerald) easily. In most cases this fixes the problem. However, if you had tuned your system to save any changes in the desktop config (so all your windows pop up again after reloading the system), the title bar may still be invisible due to a bad (wrong?) position of the application. In this case by using ALT+left mouse click+drag window around (target somewhere inside the app window) you can make the title bar accessable again.

Did you manually enter samba data for your windows connection share or try to find it automatically? (A good point to re-check all relevant smb settings). Maybe try running an nmbd additionally?

Hm. The urpmi doc of smb4k tells me: "...An SMB network and share browser for KDE 3.1 or later." In your stead I'd first try to add a network folder using your GNOME menu (Locations/Connect to server; then choose Windows for connection type and add rest of information needed). Otherwise you could install "gnomba", which seems to serve the same purpose as smb4k, but inside a GNOME environment.

Which version of Mandriva are you using? How do you mount your network folders? When mounting a network folder here using ssh, an icon pops up on the desktop as it should (by using the menu: Locations/Connection to server/...)

It's safe to delete old lock files which are no longer in use (as would be in your case). The error file your searching is most probably named .xsession-error (notice the leading dot in the filename).

For mounting iso images, you don't need an extra program. It is done on the shell command line. As root, type the following: mkdir /mnt/iso mount -t auto -o ro,loop <full-path-to-the-iso-image> /mnt/iso The main work is done with the second line, you can leave out the first one once you have added a /mnt/iso directory. After mounting, you can access the data of the image here. For creating iso images, you can use k3b, xcdroast or any similar.

Don't know about your packets, but you can find out your MTU value by entering ifconfig -a as root. HTH, scoonma

Of course I can give you no guarantee, but I expect it to work. If it does not, you could reverse the change the same way you installed the newer version. No big deal. :-)

Hi zibi, you could (forcefully) uninstall the 1.1.4 xine libraries first: rpm -e --nodeps libxine1 and afterwards install the new version: rpm -ivh libxine1-1.1.5-070315.i586.rpm I've tried this method successfully with earlier versions of libxine. HTH, scoonma

Your partition names/numbering has changed due to your changing of hdb, so I guess your data is still there. If your original /dev/hdb6 partition is validated now, try finding your data on a partition on hda (presumed you set it primary master now). HTH, scoonma
