  1. The best advice I can give you is to please not log in as root because you can easily hose your system that way. It's best to use a terminal and su to root. Learning command line may be a little challenging at first but it's the best way to go in the long run. For example to change ownership all you have to do is to open a terminal, su root, cd to the directory where the file is located and type chown <nick> <name of file> or directory for that matter. If you need help we have a FAQ http://www.mandrakeusers.org/index.php?showtopic=4463 and if you can't find what you need there we're always here to help! :)

  2. I'm looking for people that are willing to help with translation. I know we had a list from the old board but a number of those people are no longer around so I'm starting over again. If you're interested please post your name and a message in what ever languages you speak along with information on how to contact you.

     

    Thanks!

  3. Well I'm a Mandrake user but I don't use Mozilla. When you install are you doing it from command line? If not try uninstalling and reinstalling using urpmi and see if you get any error messages. I'd be sure and remove everything first. Like I said I'm not a Mozilla user but that's what I'd try. HTH

  4. We currently have a report button that is located on the top, right side of each post next to edit. It is to be used for reporting violations of the guidelines as listed here http://www.mandrakeusers.org/index.php?showtopic=477 When someone reports a post, a link, with any message is sent to all four admins. We would like to continue to have this available since it is supposed to alert us to potential problems so that we can deal with them immediately. Unfortunately it is being used frivolously and at this moment we are considering disabling it. Please think before you report a post as to whether or not it is a violation of the guidelines. Do not use this as a means of expressing opinions regarding a post or to simply to "see what happens."

     

    Thank you,

    MUsB Admins

  5. Erm, is it me, a bug oin the new board, but didnt Pierre say something at the start of this topic??? Didnt he start it??

    Then I see this post, has something fscked up.

     

    like to get a TV tuner card for my box and I am running 9.2. Can anyone recommend a/some TV tuner card(s) that they know work in MDK 9.2? Thanks.

    Also, using a TV tuner card, would I be able to plug my cable connection directly into it to capture/record TV shows from Comcast cable? (I'm also on Comcast high speed internet and have Comcast cable TV...not digital....and an extra jack in this room).

    I split the post. Must have been left over from when we were having problems. :)

  6. Moving a little offtopic but I was wondering what benefits there are in using a HTML editor such as bluefish over emacs/vi/other text editor?

    Personally since I do all my own coding I just like the fact that bluefish "highlights" code so I quickly know if something is wrong.
