I have had it with two sites (that I can remember) but it doesn't always happen with these sites.

It wasn't checked.

When Opera is loading a site, I often get this message in the statusbar: Waiting for DNS confirmation of cookie domain(s) The message just stays there and no matter how long I wait, it won't go away. This is quite annoying because my horizontal scrollbar is underneath the statusbar, and as long as it stays there, I can't scroll. I can solve this by hitting the Stop button, this removes the statusbar. But this is only helpful when the message comes after the site had loaded. Sometimes I get it when only the background of site has loaded. Nothing else will load as long as the DNS-message stays in the statusbar. Hitting Stop also prevents the rest of the page from loading. I use Opera 7.23 in Windows and in Mandrake 9.2 and I only have the problem in Mandrake. Other browsers, like Konquerer or Mozilla work fine. What can I do about this?

Thank you very much Dave Hallet and Anna!

I have searched those directories but I haven't found anything. I tried locate sans but that only gave me information about the font Lucida Sans (lucsans). Here is a screenshot of my fonts, with the Sans font selected. Any ideas? I would really like to use it in my Windows because I think it kicks the hell out of Verdana and Tahoma :)

1. Yes. You get a and very user friendly representation of you hard disk. You can just select the partition and divide it into different Linux partitions. 2. You need some basic knowlegde of your hardware. Like the type of videocard, what network inferface card you have, ... These kind of things. 3. During the installation of Mandrake 9.2 you get te option of installing a boot loader (lilo or grub). When you start your computer, you get the boot loader you have chosen with a the installed operating systems. By the way, welcome to the forums! I'm new here myself and I'm sure you will like it here.

I just love the font I'm using in KDE. It's called 'Sans' and I believe it is the default font. I would like to use the same font in Windows. Does anybody know where I can download this font or how I can tranfser it to Windows? I already looked on DaFont.com and 1001Fonts.com but I can't find it there.

Arts works. Thanks a lot!

I can only hear one sound at a time. For example, when I'm playing MP3's with xmms, I can't hear the notification sound of gaim. Is there any way to fix this? I'm using Mandrake 9.2 and I have a Soundblaster 128.

I'm afraid we're going way off topic here, but I can't let this one stand without responding. I was kidding, that's why I added the ;)-smiley :)

Don't say that. He is the only good thing Norway has. Apart from cheap broadband that is ;)

I installed php-mysql en mod_php and everything is working fine now. I have deleted the user and have created it again and it works now. Thanks for the help! I also gave webmin a try. Looks very nice!

If you have installed Apache, PHP and MySQL, you have to place your .php-files in /var/www/html/ or you can specify another folder in your Apache config files. To the Norwegian guys: Kurt Nilsen's new song is great! I'm very glad that he won the World Idol competition. Take that Will Young! :)

I'm a linux newbie; I did my first install a few weeks ago. I am using Mandrake 9.2. I had no idea there was something like webmin or webadmin. I just used the CLI, like I did in Windows, using the command prompt. So I need to do urpmi php-mysql. And for the mod_php? Is that also something I need to install, or something I need to modify in a config file? And what exactly is webmin?

I have installed MySQL and I have created a user and a database. I have granted this new user all priviliges to the new database. Here is how I try to login: mysql -u kristof -p **password** ERROR 1045: Access denied for user: 'kristof@localhost' (Using password: YES) If I don't use the -p parameter, I don't get the error and I can login. I am positive that I typed the correct password. What could be wrong? I decided to test MySQL with a small PHP file. <?php $user="kristof"; $password="***"; $cnn = mysql_connect("localhost", $user, $password) or die ("Not connected"); ?> When I view that php file in my browser, I get this error: Fatal error: Call to undefined function: mysql_connect() in /var/www/html/test.php on line 5 Do I have to modify my apache config?

For your next site, you can give your images an absolute position using an external CSS-file. If you want to change the position, you only have to edit one CSS-file in stead of 40 HTML-files.

I was trying to a some package locations to my urpmi sources, using Easy Urpmi. It seems I have done something wrong, because I get the message that the database or database file is locked. How do I unlock this?

Thanks for the replies. I have tried the --prefix=/usr and I have also restarted X. Nothing worked. I have downloaded and installed 3 themes from KDE-look.org, and none of them are listed in the Theme list. In stead, they are available in Window Decorations, Colors and Styles. So, what exactly is a theme? A combination of a style, window decoration and a color scheme? If so, how can I manually combine combines these three into a theme? When I click on Add or Create in the Theme Manager, I have to point to a .theme file. What do I have to put in such a .theme file?

I have downloaded this theme for KDE. I extracted the .tar.bz2 file and now I have a new folder. According to kde-look I have to type in these commands: When I enter ./configure --prefix=`kde-config --prefix`, I get this: configure: error: expected an absolute directory name for --prefix: kde-config --prefix. So I guess that I have to replace the kde-config part. But with what? I know this probably is a very stupid question, but I really have no clue. Edit: Ok, the ./configure part worked (I used ' in stead of `the first time, that is why it wouldn't work) After the configure part, I did make and make install and finally ldconfig. I didn't get any error. The theme isn't listed in the KDE Theme Manager. How can I use this theme?

I tried to use /boot/vmlinuz in stead of the grub value (/vmlinuz) Lilo seems to work now. How can I change the bootload via the command line interface?

Hi, About a week ago, I installed Mandrake 9.2. The installation went really well (knowing it was my first attempt to install a Linux distribution). During the installation, I chose grub as the bootloader. Yesterday I wanted to try the graphical version of Lilo. Since I am new to Linux and Mandrake, I have absolutely no idea how to do this using the console, so I opened the Mandrake Control Center. I selected Boot options and I clicked the Configure button in the Lilo/grub section. In the drop down box, I chose 'LILO with graphical menu'. I clicked the OK button. The window with the different boot option popped up. I left the settings as they were and clicked OK. Then this error appeared: "Installation of LILO failed. The following error occured: lilo failed: open /vmlinuz: No such file or directory" How can I use Lilo in stead of grub? Thanks in advance and please don't mind my bad English ^_^ Edit: I just did locate vmlinuz and I got these results: /boot/vmlinuz /boot/vmlinuz-2.4.22-10mdk However, my grub settings point to /vmlinuz Should I change this to /boot/vmlinuz for Lilo?
