PSP and other graphics progs--> GIMP

WinZip-->ARK (much more than just zip)

Windows media player--> Mplayer, Xine

TVtuner--> XAWtv

Blue screen--> ummmmm, nevermind :wink:

unfortunately we have no equivalent for clippy :P

sounds like you are denying access to the CUPS server.......... I'll pass on the first born, what kind of cars? :wink:

I have a basic (forget the model) ATI tuner and it works fine.

Video card is nvidia geforce 4 mx 420 , also working fine.

I snooped around a bit and didn't get very far either. I'm still trying as time permits tho'

Uhh, this seems kinda illegal.

There's a lot of that in the computer world. <cough> my win XP </cough>

:wink:

(only for that rare instance I need it)

I try to keep an open mind about stuff and sometimes try stuff just to see if I can get it to work.

OK so I went and got the serial cable. Had a really bad brain fart, but got it working.

One of these days I'll remember it's ttyS1 not ttys1 :roll: yes I was frustrated when it kept saying the port didn't exist, but all is well that ends well!

I got a handspring treo recently and had the horror of using windows to sync with it. It seems the usb support for it is available as a patch to an older kernal, so that's not an option I'm considering. I read one place that the optional serial cable willwork in linux. Before running out and buying a $30 cable I was wondering if anyone can confirm that it will work. I want nothing more than to be able to use linux, but am using XPee at the moment as my only option. I have the handspring treo 90, but I beleive all treos sync the same. I really don't want to boot into windows if I don't have to! (no I'm not in windows now :P )

/mnt/windows is set for all permissions to root (the owner) and only read for all others. I am not able to even browse it as a regular user and if try to change the permissions as root, an error states I do not have enough access to the file to chance permissions. Root has no problem browsing through.

I no longer have a functioning windows installation, but I do have stuff saved there and I occasionally run stuff from there with wine. It was fine until 9.1 and I can't figure out what the problem is.

my fstab entry is:

/dev/hda1	/mnt/windows	vfat  user,exec,dev,suid,rw,iocharset=iso8859-1,codepage=850 0 0

does the problem lie there? I still don't know what most of that really means so maybe it needs editing. any ideas?

Well I already did the rebuilding, and editing.

But it sounds as if even a windows user could install these drivers now :wink:

I guess this is the way to go to lure them over! 8)

Yes, you're right. I tracked it down and had to install libgtk+mdk0.1_6-devel along with 3 other "needed" packages.

Talk about a fast answer and fix! wish all probs were this easy.......

OK, so here I am in 9.1 trying to install all the software I had before the fresh install. I have gk installed, but I run into this

checking for gtk-config... no

checking for GTK - version >= 1.2.0... no

*** The gtk-config script installed by GTK could not be found

*** If GTK was installed in PREFIX, make sure PREFIX/bin is in

*** your path, or set the GTK_CONFIG environment variable to the

*** full path to gtk-config.

configure: error: Cannot find GTK: Is gtk-config in path?

and yet here's what I have installed

[root@dhcp-570-246 xlog-0.8]# rpm -qa|grep gtk

libgtk+-x11-2.0_0-2.2.1-2mdk

libgtk+2.0_0-2.2.1-2mdk

libgtkhtml1.1_3-1.1.8-2mdk

libgtk+1.2-1.2.10-32mdk

gtk+2.0-2.2.1-2mdk

libgtkhtml2_0-2.2.0-2mdk

pygtk-0.6.9-6mdk

gtkam-0.1.10-2mdk

libgtkxmhtml1-1.4.2-3mdk

libgtkmm1.2-1.2.10-1mdk

libexif-gtk4-0.3.3-2mdk

And I can't find any gtk-config files at all. Am I missing a package? This installed fine in 9.0, but not quite so easy now....

I have GTK, but ./configure doesn't see it.

Out of curiosity, what the heck does the "none" do? :?: :?:

PRoblem solved..... don't know what happened, but it works fine now. Thanx for the help.

Hope this helps anyone else that may have a similiar problem. 8)

thanks, will try. looks nothing like what I ended up with.

Why can't this stuff happen when I have time to sit around and "tweak"?

For some reason after install my fstab entry for my burner was a bunch of gibberish that just gave errors. I've gotten it so I can mount it, but no supermount yet. Anyone have success with it and want to post their fstab entry for comparison? Hopefully it's just a problem here and not a common prob. Install otherwise went fine.

Install went fine for me, but I have at least a couple bugs to work out.... no supermount..... no permission for users on /mnt/windows (can't change either) trying to hunt down the probs

Now to burn the cd's!

YESSSSSS! all 3 done..... oops...... better check md5sum

hmmmm..... you'd think everyone was trying to download it at once! :roll: ho hum, at least Spain is working for me around 100KB/s

I'm just wondering if anyone can explain this.

Some programs (ex. xmms) will only work with artsd running.

as for many things I run I need to stop artsd.

Turning it on and off is a pain, but that's what I have to do for my programs. What gives? any solutions, or do I just deal with it?

I've stopped by there, but your impression was right. Most wouldn't even compile for me.

There must be other hams here, and other experiences with ham software. I got a few apps to work in 9.0 but was wondering what other programs have been used with any luck.

PSK--> KPSK

SSTV--> QSSTV

logging -->XLOG

that's what I use, but want to try fax, rtty and others.

anyone had any luck with those or any programs?

How would you go about making the volume +/- keys work?

Are you using rpm -Uvh to upgrade, or trying to install(rpm -ivh)?

I've had that problem trying to install, but upgrade worked.

Installing over a previous version can wreak a lot of havoc with some things. The -U will tell it to upgrade to the new version.

So how is 9.1 looking so far? I haven't had the time to check it out, but was wondering if it's much of a leap from 9.0 or not. Hopefully it is a good step forward. I will try it when I get time, but that is scarce lately.

kudzu is a console program to detect and configure new hardware. Hasn't failed me yet! (I'm waiting tho')
