tyme

worked perfectly, thank you. i was actually trying to find the apt command, didn't think of apt-get.

addition:synaptic rules..........

For digital play of CDs you can use xmms but you have to set it up to do so. Dolson has put together a nice tutorial which is very easy to follow:

http://icculus.org/~dolson/mdkxp/?c=ttrls/digitalcdx

unfortunately his link to the 9.0 rpm is no good :( alas, you CAN find it here:

http://rpmfind.net//linux/RPM/mandrake/9.0...-2mdk.i586.html

unless you know the settings in your home dir are the problem, it's good to keep them. if you re-install and the problem persists, then try manually removing the files containing settings for the program that is causing the issues.

usually it's pretty obvious, as they are something like .<name or program> and the like.

did you see this one: http://www.waimea.org/cgi-bin/waimea/waime...=one&shotID=120

all that transparency kicks arse...going to have to try and get DirectFB and XDirectFB working....hehehe

(i'm back to fluxbox...like the functionality better.)

i installed synaptic from the texstar rpms, but everytime i start it i get an error box with the following message:

could not open RPM package list file /var/state/apt/lists/ftp.ibiblio.org_pub_Linux_distributions_contrib_texstar_apt_Mandrake_base_pkglis
t.updates: (no error)



Problem opening /var/state/apt/lists/ftp.ibiblio.org_pub_Linux_distributions_contrib_texstar_apt_Mandrake_base_pkglis
t.updates



The package lists or status file could not be parsed or opened.

when i click OK (the only option) synaptic exits immediately. the following is the output in my terminal which i run it from:

(synaptic:16829): libglade-WARNING **: could not find glade file 'synaptic.glade'

Any ideas where the problem may lie and how to fix it? thanks for any input. I'm going to work on this a little and if i figure it out i'll post the fix here, in case others run into this issue.

the only thing i can think of is to add the user "postfix", but I could be wrong. I've never used postfix, I user qmail. sorry I can't be of more help

Personally, I run qmail as my mail server. You can find instructions and links to the RPMS at freezer-burn: http://www.freezer-burn.org/staticpages/in...020816213912635

does your main machine have a user named postfix?

i believe the other two should pickup that lilo is already installed, and make use of it by adding themselves to the menu. but, to be safe, make a bootdisk for accessing your mandrake system BEFORE installing the others.

also: test the disk after you make it, before you install the others :) just to be safe.

then, if they end up not just editing the lilo already installed, you can get back into mandrake by way of the bootdisk, and happily configure lilo in whatever way you choose, be it mandrake cc or by way of a terminal.

supermount is fixed in a recently released kernel, there is a thread about it floating around here...in this (software) forum.

if you go into the KDE control panel, then into the login manager (i'm doing this from memory, haven't used KDE in a while) there should be options for changing the font type and size

i haven't gotten back to it just yet. i'll work w/it and see if i can find an answer.

i think i might have found an answer to MY problem. it seems that my cdroms and so forth are only running at DMA 33. now to figure out how to fix this :)

re-installed, still having the same issue :-/

now, i haven't played w/pixmap stretching borders. i'll check them out when i work on my next style :)

anyway, cool style! looks like it's glowing...

thanks!

sams club and walmart are owned by the same company i believe. or intertwined ni some way.

i got it from texstar also....i'll try uninstalling and reinstalling them, maybe something just went wrong somehow...who knows

i decided to upgrade to KDE and give it a second chance...although waimea is great, i like variety from time to time.

but, when i started KDE 3.1, i get the following error:

startkde: Starting up...

mcop warning: user defined signal handler found for SIG_PIPE, overriding

DCOP aborting (delayed) call from 'anonymous-16388' to 'kdesktop'

ERROR: KUniqueApplication: DCOP communication error!

*** kdesktop (16389) got signal 11

i already took care of the /tmp/.ICE-unix issue, but this appears to be a different one, and i haven't found any answers...

any ideas?

did you try accessing the files directly?

i get the feeling that apache doesn't like giving directory listings, you have to request specific files. and if you just type in http://localhost it's going to immediately look for index.html or index.shtml, if it doesn't find that, i believe it gives up and tries to get a directory listing. which apache doesn't seem to want to do......

I'm thinking it might be a bit of an undertaking to change it all over to gcc 3.2.2, but that depends on how big of a difference there is. I remember the last gcc upgrade was an issue for many programs, they wouldn't compile correctly or at all.

thanks, exactly what i was looking for :)

haven't tried synaptic, but i'll give it a go.

edit: had a problem, i'm stupid, fixed it. no worries.

i re-isntalled 9.0, and i can't seem to find the xft and fontconfig pacages that are usually on the texstar ftp...

i also checked the mandrakeusers.org ftp...any other idea where i may find this? (rpmfind.net was of no help either)

Its an internal modem I have seen nothing on the drivers disk that says Winmodem. The modem works fine in Windows./quote]

it's a winmodem...bad' date=' bad stuff. i'd explain to you why, but i'd probably bore you to death :)

 

exactly what model is it? there may be help...check here: http://linmodems.org/

made my first style for waimea: http://www.tymecc.net/oddityscreenshot.png

(the bg may look fimiliar, it's the larger image of what i use for my avatar. i made it :) )

i'm not sure if the font is showing up right. i have it set to arial, but what i really want is the default font, which i think is what's showing up. fonts are the part i had a bit of trouble with.

and i'm going to make another one based on this image of mine:

i don't think that kazaa works w/wine, because kazaa needs internet explorer, and, well, i just don't think it works. atleast, that's what i've been told.

however, if you're looking for a file sharing program, there's limwire, gtk-gnutella, and more! they are decent (i use limewire).

hope this helps in some small way.
