does it happen every thime you start an app? i think it's only supposed to do that the first time you run wine

I would like if I could change the behavior to something more like MS Windows or Gnome, where the most recently used application will be switched to by hitting Alt+Tab (mapped to NextWindow 0 in fluxbox).

as far as i know there is no way to do this in fluxbox. i'd like to see this behavior as well so if anyone knows if this is possible, please share!

after playing around with it for a few days i finally got it to configure correctly (and compile). it seems that configure wasn't looking in the correct places for includes, which is why it complained about not finding gtk.h. so i ran configure like this:

 CPPFLAGS="-I/usr/include/gtk-2.0 -I/usr/include/gtk-2.0/gtk -I/usr/include/glib-2.0 -I/usr/include/pango-1.0 -I/usr/lib/gtk-2.0/include -I/usr/lib/glib-2.0/include -I/usr/include/atk-1.0" LIBS="-lgtk-x11-2.0" ./configure

i'm not sure how many -I flags were actually needed because i added whatever I thought would need.

i also use a HP 722C. here's how to fix the update problem: after you install the updates edit the file /etc/pnm2ppa.conf and comment out the line that reads:

version 0

you can uncomment the line for your actual model, but i never did and that doesn't seem to cause any problems

i believe that .xinitrc only works if you use startx to get into x. if you wanna start dockapps, edit the fluxbox file in /etc/X11/wmsession.d/. after the line that says SCRIPT, add the lines for the dockapps.

Let me know when there's a "click the file and it installs" version. Or even a normal RPM or tarball install.

plf's mplayer rpms worked just fine for me

did you run the command, "lilo" after you edited lilo.conf?

you have to set the run action for those particular types. when you right-click on the file, there should be some option called "set run action". just on that and set it. see the manual for more info

i don't use kde myself, but i believe there have been several known issues with 3.1. i'd suggest not installing kde 3.0 at all, and then try installing 3.1

since packages change so often, i don't think they make isos of cooker

if there's a file called .desktop in your home directory, delete it.

Hmmmmm...I have gvim in my toolbar in Gnome and I added the command line switch to the command to start it (using "Properties"), but when I booted into Windows and back, it was reverted back to its original state. Can I avoid that?

i figured out how to set the color scheme in .gvimrc. just add the line:

colorscheme elflord

substitute elflord for whatever scheme you want, of course

which advantages do you see of using gvim over plain text vim

as bvc said, you don't have to remember every command because there's a toolbar and menu. also, i turn off word wrapping in the gui and that makes things much easier to read

try putting,

set colors <schemename>

in your gvimrc

if you must use kde or gnome, then go with gnome cause its lighter. however, gnome is still pretty resource-hungry and i'd recommend something much lighter like fluxbox

i have the same problem. i believe this is a known issue, although i don't know what (if anything) has been done about it.

here's the error message from .configure:

checking for GTK+ - version >= 2.0.0... no

*** Could not run GTK+ test program, checking why...

*** The test program failed to compile or link. See the file config.log for the

*** exact error that occured. This usually means GTK+ is incorrectly installed.

configure: error:

here's the section of config.log that states the error:

i know i have the gtk2 devel package installed. i can locate gtk.h. when i first got this error message i figured the latest commit was bad. i waited a few days, updated, and i still get this message.

i've successfully compiled gaim cvs numerous times in the past, anyone know why this is failing?

i got my kde recognizing my fonts again. i reset the font cache using the fc-cache command, although i'm not sure that what actually did it.

for some reason mozilla started again. i don't know why it all of a sudden works again, but its all good now

The latest Mozilla is 1.3a, might want to upgrade

yeah i know, but up until this mishap i was perfectly happy with 1.1. if it turns out that this little problem isn't just an oddball occurrence, then i'll probably upgrade

last night i was looking at a web page, and i went to find something on that page. so i hit ctrl-f to bring up the search dialog and mozilla (1.1) crashed on me. now it doesn't start up at all. starting mozilla from the command line yields no error messages. anyone know whats wrong?

the command for compiling a c++ prog is called g++. so i think you'll get those errors if you tried to use the command, gcc.

i have to install fonts manually because the font installer in mcc doesn't ever install fonts correctly

Endeavour should have an integration with consoles

check out the rox-filer. it has a command-line at the bottom to make it easy to cd. it also has a 'open console here' feature

There's is not a gvim rpm, it's part of vim-X11.....on the CD's.

install the vim-X11 package. although if you're having this much trouble just getting it installed, maybe vi isn't your type of editor. its not exactly the most user-friendly app out there

change the file /etc/sysconfig/desktop. there should be a line in there that reads something like:

DISPLAYMANAGER=kdm

just change it to gdm.

also, if you happen to have a ~/.desktop file, delete that

it happened again! i have no idea what causes this, but its really annoying. anyway, i tried doing what i did last time and everything else suggested last time this happened but nothing works. now i'm left with an opera (uses qt) that doesn't have windows fonts available to it. can anyone help?
