dexter I know but when I downloaded the theme it was in tar.gz format. When I tried to add it in KDE control center it wouldnt work. I looked inside the archive and it has an install readme, so I assumed thats how I gotta install them :(. Like I said I tried the RPM installer for the theme but it said it installed but I couldnt find it :'(.

well i rebooted and didnt touch anything opened the browser and it doesnt do anything? anyideas

hi right im trying to connect my mates madriva rig to the net via ethernet cable to the router but for some reason in the bar by the clock it ses eth0 connected or sumthng like tht and wen i click connect it ses connection failed got to control centre but im not sure what to do please help thanks :D

Aha maybe this is problem I have been having coz it always says no package. Thanks guys.

Ok thanks for the help with that bt moore problems :'(. Today is not my day. Ok so I did su and then typed pass then typed the urpmi gcc and it said this: It says there isnt a package called gcc :(. Maybe linux just doesnt like me.

Erm where do I type that. I assumed I am to type it in the terminal but when I did it says

Ok, well I thought I would try and get some themes for my KDE so I liked this one : http://www.kde-look.org/content/show.php?c...mp;tan=46756016 There was lots of different download packages and all the other things I have installed today were .RPM, and the rpm on that page says it is for SUSE but I tried it anyway, it said it installed but I couldnt find it so I decided to get the normal download. When I downloaded it I read the install text file and it gave instructions to compiling. It said to first cd to the directory of the source I downloaded so I did that and it worked, then it said to type ./configure, so I did but then it stopped and said: Lol some already know I am linux noob. So does anyone know how to get past this problem?

OOOk Now im going to cry :'(. I rebooted and then went to see if permissions were sorted and now the whole partition has unmounted complely. So I cant even access it now. This is really confusing. I'm just gonna have another look over everything and make sure its right. Thanks! It's fixed now! So it just seems that I mounted it in the wrong place but now I know hwo to mount properly for future. I found the problem, there was a space like you said it was just hard to notice it there so I rebooted again and hey presto all fixed. Thanks a lot for your time you gave to help me. I can't say thank you enough.

Ohhhh - I have to reboot? I didn't know that. I am so dumb. Ok I try reboot now.

Argh this is really annoying me now lol. Ok I did what you said and made the directory but hey presto no change. I still cant change the permissions on the partition. Maybe I mounted it wrong. When I clicked mount it said where do I want to mount it so I just mounted it on /hda7 so it is in the root. Am I meant to mount it there? I can read the files ok I just cant change them or anything,,,

Sorry still no luck. But I just checked the mnt folder like you said and there is no win_x in there. There is only a folder called cdrom there.

Where do I add those 2 things? At the end of the line? Sorry I am linux noob remember lol.

Unfortunatly that hasn't worked either. This is a nightmare.

Ok, first of all let me just say I am a complete linux noob. Anyway the problem is I am dual booting Mandriva & Windows XP. I have windows on a NTFS partition, Madriva on a journal partition or something and then I have a fat32 partition for file storage like media so that I can access the files from both mandriva and windows. However, I can access and change it fine from windows but not mandriva. I have searched these forums lots now and found a few solutions of which none have worked. The problem is when I login as root and change the permissions on HDA7 to 777 it does it then it changes itself back. I have also tried changing the owner and group and it resets that too. So I went to MCC and changed ssecurity level to normal(2), then tried again and had the same result, the permissions reset themself again. I then found this: /dev/hda7/mnt/win_x vfat umask=0,user,codepage=850,iocharset=iso8859-1,exec 0 0 I opened the fstab file and deleted the current HDA7 entry and replaced it with that. I then tried to set the permissions again and got the same result - they reset themself again. So I have no idea what the problem is. In the meantime if I want to change anything on my FAT32 partition or delete or download anything to it, I have to login to root which isnt convenient in the slightest. Please if anyone knows a solution to this please tell me. Thanks, Lone.
