:P :P

Well at work we have this software for Windows called Exceed basically its a PC Xserver. I can run our HP Unix stuff on windows. Well I wanted to do it at home. Excced is not free - time for google. I found Cywin So here is my story on how I got XFce4 to work on my Windows XP via ssh to my Gentoo Laptop. I also have openbox working on Cywin witout ssh'ing OK found this web site to help me out: http://www.cs.wcupa.edu/~rkline/cygwin-install.html To make it work for me I stopped at at step #14 - OK so far ? Here is where I have to change some other stuff: Find where you installed Cywin. I did it on C:\Cywin You need to edit the file startxwin. Its located in: C:\Cygwin\usr\X11R6\bin\startxwin.bat I had to change some stuff in it to make it work: REM out the xterm line: REM run xterm -sl 1000 -sb -rightbar -ms red -fg yellow -bg black -e /usr/bin/bash -l Change the run xwin line to: run xwin -clipboard -silent-dup-error -fullscreen -trayicon -screen 0 Change run twm to: run openbox Save then close. Double click startwinx.bat and openbox should start up for you. The only way I could exit it was cntrl-Alt-Back Now if that worked try this. Did you see that icon on you desktop? double click it. We need to edit some files now: On your Windows/Cywin box Edit the system file /etc/ssh_config — the Windows path for this file is c:\cygwin\etc\ssh_config. At the bottom of the file add the line: ForwardX11 yes ForwardAgent yes --I used nano to do this. If you installed nedit above you can use that too Now go to your Linux box: edit your /etc/ssh/sshd_config file. Add: X11Forwarding yes X11DisplayOffset 10 X11UseLocalhost yes All set? Now on you Linux box: #/etc/init.d/sshd stop #etc/init.d/sshd start Now on your Windows box without Cywin running yet double click the Desktop icon. type: startx then minimized that box a new xterm should open with X in that new xterm box type: #ssh -X -Y -l (your login) (linux box ip address) enter password in your ssh type: $xterm& See if a new xterm opens. Did it? Now this part may differ for each Linux Distro. Here is what I did. I have XFce4 on my Gentoo box. So I typed: $/etc/X11/Sessions/XFce4 and I now have XFCe4 running on Windows :D Accoring to the Cywin website you can get other apps to work via source. Seems like a new toy for now. Notes: If you did not delete your install files you can add programs aftet the fact. Just start up the install program again and select them. Some other good sites to help Users Guide http://cygwin.com/cygwin-ug-net/ Home Page: http://www.cygwin.com/ Two Pics for ya: Openbox running and XFce4 running via ssh

Other player based of mplayer are kplayer kmplayer I love kplayer. It rocks

See if it worls command line. open a terminal (konsole) type: $acpi -b mine gives me this: acdispatcher@arora acdispatcher $ acpi -b Battery 1: charged, 100% For temp: acdispatcher@arora acdispatcher $ acpi -t Battery 1: charged, 100% Thermal 1: ok, 50.0 degrees C :D :D

WindowsXP is a good emulator :P

That is where your problem is. From what I think that line tells your computer: your kernel is found on your first drive first partition (hd0,0) in the root ( / ) directory. and your root directory in on /dev/hda5. Usuially the kernel and initrd are located in the /boot directory. I use grub on my Gentoo box. Here is my grub config: title Gentoo 2004.X root (hd0,1) kernel (hd0,1)/boot/kernel-2.6.7-gentoo-r8 root=/dev/hda2 init=/linuxrc vga=0x31a gentoo=nodevfs video=vesa:ywrap,mttr splash=silent hdc=ide-cd psmouse.proto=imps initrd (hd0,1)/boot/initrd-2.6.7-gentoo-r8 My Gentoo Distro is on 1 partition only (hda2). So my kernel is also on hda2 in the /boot directory. In grub that is: kernel (hd0,1)/boot/kernel-2.6.7-gentoo-r8 or: hda1 = (hd0,0) hda2 = (hd0,1) hda3 = (hd0,2) hda4 = (hd0,3) So From what I read if your Mandy distro is on hda5 you grub should look like this: kernel (hd0,4)/boot/kernel-2.6.3-15mdk root=/dev/hda5 Give it a try

Compile your own. Not hard. Mandrakes stuff is a little dated but still good: http://doc.mandrakelinux.com/MandrakeLinux...ommand-Line.pdf See Chapter 13 I had the the same problem with a optical mouse of mine. In the end it was the mouse and not Linux. I always had to unplug and replug it in to get it to work.

What Mozilla? Firefox / Firebird / or plain Mozilla ? My Firefox .9.1 changed its temp folder and personnal settings to: (home Directory)/.mozilla/firefox/default.ccv/Cache It used to be in (home)/.phoenix

On my Gentoo Laptop i run a mode called "laptop mode". I set my screen to tuen off via the /etc/X11/XF86Config-4 file. Its found in the ServerLayout section (at the bottom of the file). Here is mine: Section "ServerLayout" Identifier "layout1" InputDevice "Keyboard1" "CoreKeyboard" InputDevice "Touchpad" "CorePointer" InputDevice "RFmouse" "SendCoreEvents" Screen "screen1" Option "BlankTime" "5" # Blank the screen after 5 minutes (Fake) Option "StandbyTime" "10" # Turn off screen after 10 minutes (DPMS) Option "SuspendTime" "20" # Full suspend after 20 minutes Option "OffTime" "30" # Turn off after half an hour EndSection

Try to ajust it in your /etc/X11/XF86Config-4 file. Here its what mine looks like: Section "Device" Identifier "device1" VendorName "ATI" BoardName "ATI Radeon" Driver "radeon" BusID "1:0:0" Option "DPMS" Option "AGPMode" "4" Option "EnablePageFlip" "true" Option "AGPFastWrite" "true" EndSection You would add the line: Option "AGPMode" "2" Also did you check what it says if you open a konsole and type: $glxinfo or for a shorter output try: $glxinfo | grep AGP This is what I get: bash-2.05b$ glxinfo | grep AGP disabling TCL support OpenGL renderer string: Mesa DRI Radeon 20030328 AGP 4x x86/MMX+/SSE2 NO-TCL You can see Im running at AGP 4x I had the same problem with a Nvidia card. The motherboard "irongate chipset" was sold as a AGP4x but it could only handle 1x. Anything more and you would crash.

Forgot to ask Do you run stable or unstable (~x86)? I run ~x86. The new script showed up on a emerge -u world

If you have Mandrake you can do it from the MCC (Mandrake control center) It will edit your /etc/fstab file to mount it for you. I run gentoo and set it up manually. Mine looks like this: ###Network //tiger/VOLUME /mnt/VOLUME smbfs username=acdispatcher,password=**** 0 0 //nuclear/TRANS /mnt/TRANS smbfs username=acdispatcher,password=**** 0 0 //vectra/VECTRA /mnt/VECTRA smbfs username=acdispatcher,password=**** 0 0 In this case I have 3 Window$ computers that share files with my Gentoo box. They are named tiger,nuclear,and vectra. There are a few different options and how to do it but this works for me.... Hope it helps

If Im not mistaken Spammers use zombies and accounts stolen from others. I do wonder how much "spam" they get

Maybe not a 1st person "shooter" but Im still hitting NWN (Never Winter Nights) every day. Edit- Ok here is a small list of links: http://www.icculus.org/lgfaq/gamelist.php http://www.happypenguin.org/ http://www.linuxgames.com/ http://www.linux-gamers.net/modules/news/ http://nwn.bioware.com/downloads/linuxclient.html

My everyday kernel is the gentoo-dev-sources (2.6.7). It hasn't given me any problems. Very stable. For travel (laptop) is use mm-sources.(2.6.7) Its got some extra laptop patches. Its stable as well not not as good as the dev-sources in my opinion.

I tend to gzip some large files (over entire partitions). Or when I use DVDrip I tend to use a lot of the swap (500mb). Otherwise the 512mb of RAM can handle it all.

emerge :P

I tried to install via wine and winex3, both did not work. I just hate the fact of installing XP just for one program. Oh well.

OK Im going on a trip soon. I need a good Linux prog like "Streets & Trips" Basically a prog to tell me how to get from point A to point B in the USA. Now I know their are some web sites that do this but I want one I could load on my laptop and track my progress and check milage. Any Idea? I don't want to install WIndow$ just to run my copy of MS Streets & Trips

So far looks real good. I have to add the acpi=ht option to get it working again (acpi issue). I have some problems with my network card, but I have that with every "live" cd. Heck the only way I could get it working in Gentoo was to compile the driver into the kernel (natsemi). Here is a pick of it: http://www.mandrakeusers.org/index.php?act...=post&id=119905

Looks like Tex posted his newest release http://www.pclinuxonline.com/pclos/index.html Edit: Release Notes - http://pclinuxonline.com/pipermail/pclinux...une/002064.html

The minimum time you can subscribe is 3 months (15 dollars US). You can subscribe and cancel to get the latest copy of Winex. Their is winex and Point2Play. I download them as new ones come out. I have the winex3 file but I use Point2Play. Point2Play is winex3 but with its own GUI. You set up your winex account with it and it downloads a different version (Point2Play version) and installs its for you. You can download the winex3 file and install it. Frank made his own "Point2Play" shell. Its called winex game manager. Here it is: http://www.franksworld.net/wgm.html

The big question is what ATI card do you have? I have a ATI Mobility M6 LY (32mb). The fglrx do not work with this old card. I have had a hard time gettings DRI to work until I compiled everything into the kernel (2.6 only). I went from 515FPS in a 2.4 kernel to a 630FPS with it built into the kernel. :D

I have not used ip cop. I know that the specs you list can do a coyote box. I use it for a DSL line ( PPPOE) A dedicated router/firewall. One thing I found great was it comes with a set of pre configed iptables. Full stealth mode except ssh port (22). You can turn that of right from the web admin page. You can block/open and foward ports without ever neeeing to learn iptables. Its all by web page.
