mystified

I tried sh acrossl and get "cannot execute binary file." I don't know if I'm missing another program that's needed to run it or what the problem is.

Yes, I tried several times with the same results. :?

I downloaded a program I need. It was in tar.gz format so I untarred it and all that's there is a license and an executable file called acrossl. There's no configure, makefile, install or any instructions. I tried to run the program in the directory it's located in by typing ./acrossl both as root and user but I get an error message that it can't locate that file or directory. I'm stumped. Any ideas?

Actually I did a check on the kde.org page and 3.0.4 is listed as stable. Just thought you should know.

Have you tried upgrading to 3.0.4? It has some bug fixes that might or might not solve your problem.

I tried it and it wouldn't allow me to either. I even typed the number 100 in and it automatically changed back to 78 when I went to apply.

For future references "ed" is already included on yours CDs. You could have done a urpmi ed and it would have found it and installed it for you. You can also do a search in the Mandrake Control Center for software you need to install. Hope that helps!

And we'll continue to try and do so even though you're a traitor. :wink: Just kidding! I don't care about distros. We're all Linux users and that's what count IMO.

Other than removing cdrecord and re-installing, none. But if you haven't already tried it it's worth a shot. :?

Actually the autostart directory is in Italian, Spanish, French and about a zillion other languages and all it says is "autostart" :?

You might try to edit your home/Desktop/.directory and remove the Removeable Media text and see if that makes a difference. Remember that's just a guess on my part and I assume no responsility! I think I should add that to my sig line for all my posts. :lol:

I don't know the answer to your problem but have you tried X-CD-Roast? It's really easy to use to burn music cds. Actually for that purpose I prefer it over ERoaster although I use Eroaster for everything else. Just a thought!

I'm sorry ral but I don't understand the question. Maybe I'm being a little dense but you're talking about a desktop/browser/office application and I don't see the connection. Could you please explain or maybe somebody else will know what you're referring to and provide you with an answer. Sorry! :?

I use vi. I looked at emacs. All I have to say is :shock: :lol:

I know this is offtopic and I'm a moderator and setting a bad example (shhh don't tell the other mods) but frew your avatar would make an awesome tattoo!

:lol: When I'm here posting I am on my break from my work! I'd much rather be doing this. :wink:

DOlson has this tutorial on his page. It's the only thing I've read about changing cursors. http://mdkxp.by-a.com/htm/tutorials/whitecursor.php

If you look in your KDE Control Center, Sessions, Login Manager, Convenience there is an option to preselect a user.

Don't feel silly. I helped a guy one time that knew a LOT more about Linux that I do. But he was looking for something difficult and I could see that he was overlooking a very obvious, easy solution. I was really hesitant to respond but I did half expecting to get told off. Instead he posted back with a thanks, that sometimes you can't see the forest for the trees. Happens to all of us!

Do you by any chance chose to save session when you log out?

You can use drag and drop with ERoaster. It's very easy to use.

My husband is from East Texas. Need I say more? :wink:

I think this thread will help answer your question. http://www.mandrakeusers.org/viewtopic.php?t=105

There is no configure for this program. You will have to su to root to do make because it has to create directories. Then make install. Should work. I just tried the first part because I didn't want to actually install it.

I am NOT a Texan and I do NOT say it like a Texan and cannonfodder is in big trouble. I live in Texas but I wasn't born and raised here and don't have an accent. Even my kids don't have accents! Cannonfodder!!!!

Cannonfodder has to be correct because I know for a fact that we both pronounce it the same way. :wink:

This doesn't fix your problem but you can also auto-login through your KDE Control Center, System, Login Manager.
