For the past week I have had to fight with konqueror. Whenever I click on a directory I get the error pop up "kdeinit could not launch /path/to/directory. If I clear the error and put the cursor up in the address bar and hit enter it enters the directory, but I always have that annoying extra step now I must have changed a setting without realizing it, but what? Or what config file do I erase to reset the settings? I'm running mandrake 10,1 and all was fine up to a week or so ago. Now it wants to "launch" the dirs now instead of just entering them.

I just keep jpilot pointed at /dev/ttyUSB0, I gave up dealing with /dev/pilot. It just seems that the device number is a different value than it is "supposed" to be for some reason, but at least it is working.

OK so I successfully synced repeatedly. When I pushed hotsync ttyUSB1 and 2 were the 2 devices created. so...... 2 supposedly is the one I want. It even worked once. I kept trying 1 and 2 just to see. /dev/pilot was set up by udev to be my palm (whenever I tried to sync kpilot did pop up, but wouldn't do anything other than say /dev/pilot was ready) For some reason it kept being created pointing to ttyUSB3. and lo n behold I just got frustrated and tried ttyUSB0 and it worked repeatedly. Who knows if this will continue, but can anyone explain what the heck my mix-up is? I did uninstall kpilot to keep it from competing with jpilot.

For starters I've read every how-to and scrap of info I could find. I am running mdk 10.1 official, and want it to talk to my tungsten t2. I tried and tried and gave up last week. Being the stubborn guy I am, I try to sync every now n then just for the heck of it. Well I tried it today and heard that nice little tweedle-dee! j-pilot had successfully talked to /dev/ttyUSB2 so I do know where my palm likes to hang out. Problem is...... it synced that once. That's it. I tried several times since, but no go. I try different timing schemes, push sync on the palm, wait 5,10,25 etc. seconds but I can't figure out what sort of voodoo black magic I used that once. It worked, so I know it CAN work, but there must be some weird/obscure variable that just isn't cooperating. So basically I am hoping this little dilemma I have will pique someones interest that may be able to shed some light on this situation and allow me to hear that happy little sound again and save me from having to boot to the dark side. I haven't changed a single thing since the one success, just tried to sync so it "should" be all set with no APIC, udev entry etc. thanks Todd

After trying to get to the bottom of this, I noticed that when I log into icewm instead of kde konq opens fine for normal users, I just don't know what that implies,,,,

After a fresh install of 10.1 official, konqueror will not load for a regular user, the hourgkass will just spin until it gives up. Trying to start it from the console gives no output at all, no errors no nothing, however as root it starts right up. Any suggestions?

Can't remember exactly, but I tried gnome-pilot and had issues. J-pilot has always served me well. I think it had something to do with that hotsync daemon that gnome pilot wanted to run causing conflicts, but j-pilot seems to run flawlessly.

Linux 90% XP 10% why the 90/10 split? Why indeed....... CADkey 99 $4,000 US ToPS 300 $10,000 US You'd think at those prices they could afford to develop a linux version. But the money didn't come out of my pocket, so I can't complain too much. (I still do tho')

(I see this isn't their primary language) :wink:

Ok ... thanks fort the suggestions, going home early, so I will actually have time to mess around with that stuff...... will see what happens not fun leaving this broadband connection I'm on here at work.............

that last post says a lot for most of us......... brand new stuff comes out, you have linux.....sometimes you need to try that new gadget anyway ...... BIG headache until linux catches up with the technology.

It is XP pro, connection sharing is something I tried, but should my machine "see" hers as a proxy? or what? Yes I realize that is a "windows" question, but I want email on my linux box will .........keep .........tryin' .........8)

I have had that error a few times installing programs from source. Maybe Mandrake decided to put Qt files in a "non-standard" location that some apps don't know where to find?

Typically when I get home, she is on and my main objective is email. right now she is signed up for a proprietary dialup service, or I could get on thru linux, but it has to be accessed thru their software (windoze only) for bandwidth I use work's connection, but I just want email at home on my own computer, and to access this forum. I'll look into better alternatives, but with a LAN possibility I figured it would be a temporary option.

Been using linux for 5 years or more, Have an XP partition I boot into very infrequently to keep up with "windows stuff" as I'm constantly being asked to "fix" windows problems. Usually it IS windows stuff not hardware, but to work on that crap, I need to be somewhat familiar with it. I don't personally "use" windows for anything productive, or creative. Just enough to keep familiar and sometimes to re-create common problems to try to find a "fix" (other than installing linux which I do try to push) :wink: So XP is for "educational purposes only" <cough> pirated <cough>

Here's the scenario...... until I shell out $$$$$ for a satellite connection I am stuck with dialup. My "other half" has an XP machine on dialup thru a USB modem . That computer as well as my 9.1 box have ethernet cards and I have a hub to get them to talk. Does anyone have any suggestions as to the best way for my linux box to get to the internet thru the XP machine? I do most of my downloading here at work, but it would be handy to at least get my e-mail at home, but not sure how to set it up. I'd be starting entirely from scratch, they aren't currently networked at all. Thanx in advance..........

I don't want to "rent" my software I like the freedom I am forced to use M$ at work (no choice) Got sick of M$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$ (did I mention the $ part?) and saw linux on the shelf at Staples, so I figured I'd see what it is all about so I've been on the wagon since 7.1 (if I recall correctly)

just save the script as is, make sure you set it as executable and run it from a command prompt. chmod +x /path/to/script /path/to/script

I use one to exchanga data from work (win98) to home (mdk9.1) I realized that when I got the error about not being able to change permissions I had to wait until transfer was done before I closed the warning window, or I would "see" the file but it wasn't really there. I think it's what Gowator is describing. Being flash memory are they formatted like other media? this was acting as though it was saving to a windows file system, but if you use it for all linux systems maybe it is a different scenario, but your problem describes what I was seeing exactly... do you get the "could not change permissions" error? I'm curious as to wether they are formatted like disks or not, being that they are just flash memory.

I tried the same version as mikeoneil, and I tried last night to get my folding@2home client running again while seti is off but that program did the same, so the problem seems a little deeper. Both programs I erased everything and downloaded the latest and greatest, started it and after a few minutes it locked..... couldn't switch terminals, no keyboard or mouse response, nothing. Don't know of anything I changed with the system, but both progs lock up....... the plot thickens.

As many of you can see on the stats page of our seti group, I haven't contributed a workunit in some time. Seti@home always ran in the background on tty3 and I usually forgot all about it. All was well, and it didn't seem to interfere with anything. Sounds like a story too good to be true, alas that scene has come to a halt, in fact when I try to run seti my whole system comes to a halt........ total lock-up. I deleted everything and tried over.....same. I just noticed a new version, same results. Anyone had this problem, or even have any ideas? I start it, and within a couple minuted......... lockup! nothing but a good old fashioned reset will get me out. So at the moment I can't run seti

Windows must download the following files to display this page properly: English language support Accept this download from Microsoft? :wink:

One question, the athlon rpm's...... are they for any athlon system, or for athlon-rebuilt kernals? I have an athlon, but haven't rebuilt my kernal. From my understanding the basic kernal from MDK is slightly Intel biased.

use drakfont through control center, or run from console as root to import windows fonts.

my asus a7v333-x works great, you can't go wrong with the good name brand boards like asus gigabyte, abit. The raid support is sometimes an issue, but unless it's a brand new line of boards you should be able to find out. Static, with those dreams you may want to start selling those CD's :P
