I gave up!! I CAN'T find ANY reason, why some work and some don't. It's totally independend from GL, because i get some GL-savers working, some not. Here's a list of my 10.0-Workstation-nonworking-savers: Lightning Lorenz-Attractor Maze Ripples Morphing Lines Munch Penrose Squiral Galaxy FlipFlop GLSnake XJack Jigsaw vidwhacker xsublim Apple ][ Pong

I just can't select every GL-screensaver, half of them just show up black?! Does somebody have an idea to solve this?

Just a bad story: 1. downloaded the free MNF 2. installed it 3. couldn't log into it over LAN. Took me half an hour to find out, that the shorewall did run from the beginning with default settings 4. Had taken the firewall out of the server-room again to connect it to keyboard and monitor in another room to log into and stop the shorewall 5. NOW, i could log into it over LAN 6. configured all settings EXACTLY according the english manual with screenshots. Have exactly the same features as described in the manual (two NICs, one pointing to a DSL-modem) 8. deleted the DMZ-zone, cause i don't need it 9. shorewall was broken 10. found out, that "DMZ" wasn't deleted all over, just in some files, not in every 11. deleted DMZ by hand in all config's 12. shorewall started up again 13. added ONE default masquerading route for the clients, EXCACTLY as described in the docs 14. however, the clients couldn't connect. Only the firewall is in the internet (yes, gateways are defined as should and yes, DNS works) 15. spent additional 4 hours to find the error in the network/iptables-rules until i gave up and decided to take another product, hopefully MUCH more professional (next i will try out shorewall) ........ :bounce8: [moved from Installing Mandrake by spinynorman]

After having uninstalled all screensavers and reinstalled them (Original Distro-packages), including rss_glx and kde-opengl-screensavers, there are no GL-savers any more?! Is there a trigger i'll have to push somewhere?

Nobody?

Yes. The problem is, that all pages with alittle bit more content than text get wrong. The printer alleges "out of memory" several times when i am trying to print bigger pages. At my opinion, the cups doesn't correctly synchronize with the onboard-memory of the printer....

I've tried out now every delivered driver in printerdrake, always the same result: The printer prints only parts of the pages! The first half, 2 third, some times only some stripes..... It's a Laserjet 5SI, connected over TCP. Any ideas?? Doesn't make a good impression that i am the only one with linux AND am the only one who can't print clearly... Greets, qd

Hi again, i want to add an LM10 user, that is VERY secure for me, what means that he/she shouldn't be allowed to do anything but using the applications from the menus. Additionally, this user should not be able to view the filesystem above his home. I thought about removing the read and execute rights for "others" from all files, but i am pretty sure, that i will break my system with this method, so i am asking, what you have done....

Hello again, i never did something with samba, so i've got no clue, what i will have to fight with. What do i want? Tomorrow, i'll have to connect a Mandrake-client to a LAN with Win2000-stucture. The difficulty is, that i'll not have the time to correct something or search a problem! In Detail, i'll have to show up, that Mandrake on Desktop is usable(!!!) and that there is no problem at all to integrate it in Win2000. Therefore, i will show the installation and after that, the integration in LAN. Can someone PLEASE give me a failsafe step-by-step guide to connect the Mandrake-client as a win2000-client to the LAN without any problem? Please have in mind, that some persons will have a look over my shoulder, so this should take not more than some seconds... The things i'll have to show is that i want to browse shared ressources, so there is a login as a Win2000-user needed. Additionally, i want to use a printer in the network which is managed by< user-rights, too. I am doing this a little bit right out of the blue, but i amsure, that Mandrake can do it, so please give me a help Moved by Ixthusdan

Really nobody?

Hello together ! I've got severe problems on several distributions to print some specific PDF or OO-documents. Because nor CUPS neither linux-printing are really in the mood to feel responsible, i am searching now for other users, to narrow down the problem with them. Who wants to contribute?

Reason for RPM is the neat integration of OO in Mandrake. If you install the source from OO directly it is not so well suited in the distro and i would have to finetune a lot. So a LM-RPM would be the easiest way...

Does someone has one? OpenOffice 1.1.1 (important) for LM 9.2? I tried to use the cooker/LM10.0 one, but then i would have to reinstall nearly the whole system because of dependencies

Added some more content about firewalling...

After about one year, i restarted my Homepage with a lot of additional informations about Tweaking X Setting up Terminal-Servers Filesystemhierarchy Filesystembenchmarks etc.. So perhaps you can find there what you searched for since longer (I hope B) ) Greets, Qeldroma

Is it possible? Download cooker-rpms and upgrade with them? I tried that with the kde-3.2 rpms, but failed, because he wants to install nearly all packages available. And that can't work, while i am logged in the system, so i think, it's only possible, if i can do it from a booted media, or am i wrong? Problem is, the machnie has NO floppy and NO CDROM... Only Media IS network...

Ok, but doesn't this mean, i'll have to concattenate ALL beackup-files before i can restore something? Tar is very slow, if i am including compression. Then untaring sthg. is very time-intensive (point 2) isn't it?

Hi folks, i am not satisfied with drakbackup, because it is not good explained. I am not sure it's doing what i want. All i want is a base-backup on CD('s), which is regulary updated. The updates shall only include CHANGED files, not the ones that are the same. The regular update-backup is on CD, too. But as far as i can see, theese backups will be very small, so i want to take one CD in Multisession for several backups. I want to do this all via shell pure (ssh), so i think i'll have to take tar/zip/bz2?? But how do i make compressed (bz2/tgz/zip...) backups, that have exact 650MB for a CDR? Isn't it a problem, that tar can't know, how much in size the result will be? So how do i split the base backup on several CDR's safely? And then, how much backups can i shuffle on one CDR in Multisession?? Of course, this multisession MUST be save and stable. ------------------------------------------------------- Second point: How do i restore specific directories from a whole bunch of .tgz? Isn't this VERY uncomfortable? Do i have to install EVERY update-backup since the base-backup for a fully qualified restore? AFAIK there's no easy-2-use qt-/qtk-app, that can do this job for me with only some clicks. I can't understand this, because linux is mostly on servers and there you'll need backups, so where are the COMFORTABLE programs to do this??

A way to decide WHICH directory to symlink is check their size with "du --summarize /usr/*". This will give you all sizes of the subdirectories in /usr...

Did you try out drakfont in the controlcenter? There's an option to add all fonts to OO and others. Please tell me, if that does not work, then i'll have to correct some machines ;)

That's ONE of the changes in LM 9.2: You've got a centralized config for OOffice now in /etc. I struggled here, too.

I am NOT sure about the one GB line in memory... I've got 1 GB DDRAM and LM9.2-standard-kernel only found 892MB. A hint is printed, something like "to use more than .... you should activate high memory". So i took the "up to 4 GB" kernel and now, all of my memory is used.

LM9.2: I tried to append at boot: "video=radeon" "video=radeonfb" "video=radeon:1024x768" "video=radeonfb:1024x768" Nor of them works, always i get the message: Radeonfb: cannot map FB Any answer? I got a normal PC, so memory is NOT shared between radeon and system. It's a Radeon 9700pro.

Since my little jump to 9.2, i can only use 5 fonts in GIMP, there are no more listened. I did drakfont, but it only affected Star/OpenOffice. The same on your machines?

As far as i am now, MAndrake has no working radeon-support in XFree86. You HAVE to install the ATI-driver, but this one works only with high cpu-consumption. In other words: Using 1400x1050x24 leads to 73% CPU only for X. The positive thing is that all resolutions and 3D is working, but not very fast. I read some posts elsewhere now, that ati-drivers ARE that bad?? And what is needed is to use the kernel agpgart NOT the one internal to ati. To be continued......
