I have 192MB DDR RAM.

Now: 40% Total used, 43%cached and 4 physical free, 97% swap free (250MB)

Up after fresh install for about 8hrs in kde, and tweakin, so you can imagine all I've been doing. :wink:

YOU'VE GOT TO BE KIDDING

Reminds me of *cough* WinME System Restore. :shock:

OK....is there a way to stop it, or is it something we want? I guess this is new? I never had this prob b4......be nice if they made it a little more public, don't ya think?

What starts it?... because I just did a fresh install a couple of hours ago, I have rebooted once, and I don't have a /root/.drakbackup/ anything?

OK, someone slap me if I'm wrong, but I've always compiled my kernel and it's been a long time since I built an rpm on a default kernel, but isn't it going to be built as a i586 as long as that's what the kernel is...a default i586. In other words, is it correct to say that they won't go to the athlon folder until you compile the kernel for the athlon??? Because, I just reinstalled because of kernel compile probs (which I've never had) and reiserfs probs, and when I built the nvidia drivers from src they went to i586. So, either I'm correct, or mdk has got a bad bug, which I don't think is the case because we would have heard about this from somewhere...I mean, wouldn't it be BIG NEWS???

I've never heard of a architecture argument, but it's probably associated with one of the athlon bugs and the kernel??????

The change for me wasn't as noticable as the link above shows. But, like I posted above, I didn't get the Xft pkgs installed either. I did notice a diff but it wasn't a big diff. I'm happy with the results. What wm are you using kde, gnome, other.....? Because kde looked nice to begin with so there really wasn't a diff in kde for me. Gnome had the most improvement.

MoonChild how'd it work for you?

I saw on another board, a logitech didn't work until the user took off the ps/2 adapter and plugged it into the usb, and chose usb/wheel in mousedrake.

What mouse did you chose?

What does the Pointer Section of /etc/X11/XF86Config-4 say?

If you try the usb route, you might need to run mousedrake again and reboot, but you should not have to reboot. If in X, you'll need to restart X by doing Ctrl>Alt>Backspace.

Lets us know :)

Link is broken!

Did you try these? Suppose to be for 9.0.

That's it??? I installed about 60MB of apps and themes/icons ect..and an hour later when I booted, instead of having 500MB free..../ was 100% full. What gives? I switched to init 1, umounted /dev/hda9 (root) and ran reiserfsck and all is well. I dk????

Anyone hear of this before?

Yes, I've serached for core's, and checked tmp's, and I've been running cron and such.

Sorry :!:

I also just saw...... kde control panel>Personalization>Country & Language. I would think Gnome would have something similar. Dk your trash prob. I've always use fluxbox/blackbox/icewm/ and occasionally gnome, I'm new to kde. Don't use trash...I just delete :)

MArk :D :!: :P

Missed ya :!:

You were the topic of discussion the other day http://www.club-nihil.net/mub/viewtopic.ph...highlight=sisob

Next time try

rpm -ev --test <pkg name>

-vv --test for debuging :wink:

I got freetype2-2.0.9-3plf.i586.rpm (and devel) from http://plf.zarb.org/and it's working well. I tried to get Xft from there as well but urpmi said

The following packages contain Xft: XFree86-libs pango libpango1.0_0

Last updated 10 october 2002.

 

Note (10 october 2002): Mandrake 9.0 does not have the bytecode interpreter enabled by default. Please excuse me for the wrong information.

Note: Mandrake 9.0 does not need a patched freetype2 RPM, because the bytecode interpreter is enabled by default in this distribution.

So how are people getting Xft???

If esd isn't running when you startup fb. Another option might be to put

esd -nobeeps &

in your ~/.xinitrc

Actually I take that back. After an Upgrade you should then have a linux and a linux.old (or something) in the bootloader, enabling you to boot to the old config.

How can i change it back to english ?????

My guess would be to boot with the First Install CD>press F1>type expert>and do an Upgrade not Install. It will go throught the entire install and allow you to change anything (except already installed pkgs). The pkgs for romanian though should be removed when it upgrades/updates the english.

theme mgr in gnome2 is

/usr/bin/gnome-theme-properties

Yeah, its gtk-config-capplet

Arg is rt. At least you can rebuild them. I've been helping users all week, all the require pkgs are install (devel), I even compiled my kernel, but not nvidia :?

Here a (originally) winamp skin I sent DOlson, and he modified for linux (font, tux).

http://www.themedepot.org/itemdetail.php4?id=323 It matches this screenshot of his.http://www.mandrakeusers.org/viewtopic.php...er=asc&start=19

I am using gnome and I don't have gtk-config-capplet, or gtk-config. Is this a nongnome thing?

XMMS themes either go to user specific ~/ , /home/.xmms/Skins. Or global in /usr/share/xmmx/Skins.

My java and flash are fine in mozilla and galeon. Niether working in phoenix, but I didn't think they were suppose to be.

A friend emailed me this link :P

Strange but I'll take it. I tried to compile the kernel, and changed reiserfs from M to Y, so it failed??? I dk why but it couldn't find a reiserfs filesystem. Anyway, after rebooting to the default the mouse works wonderfully again.

A new fix for strange probs :lol: Don't worry if you're never successful, just check off stuff you shouldn't so it fails, reboot to another kernel and...who knows....maybe your strange prob will be fixed to. If you have one :P

Thanks, but I did a clean install over my 8.1. So I'd have to reinstall, to get the rt xev readings, I guess. I'm going to compile my kernel though, so I'm thinking either that will fix it (?somehow?), or it will mean some config files somewhere are messed up????

I've tried

xmodmap -display $DISPLAY -e "pointer = 1 2 3 4 5"

and

xmodmap -display :0 -e "pointer = 1 2 3 4 5" > /dev/null 2>&1

and a few other variations, but I guess if the default is mess up, the above wouldn't do any good. I think it's a X/root window problem because the mapping of the buttons are fine.

Unless someone else with a Logitech Cordless Mouseman Optical usbmouse wants to run xev and post the output????
