I have a bunch of xvid avi's that I'd like to convert to mpeg files. Is there a linux
app that will do this for me? Also, will k3b burn vcd's? I'm still a linux noob and
this will be my first time using k3b. I have nero on win2000 but thought this
would be a good time to go linux only if possible. Thanks for any info!

I'm having another problem with kshowmail. Each time I start it, none of my email settings are retained. Is there a file somewhere that stores all this info that I can edit? Thanks!

Germ, thanks for the heads up on Kshowmail, its exactly what I've been searching for.
I've installed it and am have a problem with it already. After I setup all my info and hit
check mail I get the following error:
The server certificate failed the authenticity test
(mail.xxxxxx.net)
I am confused as to whats wrong here. Any ideas?
Thanks, Jason

Well, after screwing up my system I installed mandrake again everything
is working great now. I even got the gimp to install with no problems.
Thanks for all the help.

Thanks for the help guys. As for IM clients, I also have kopete up and running,
but I like to have yahoo as well, since sometimes the others won't work with
yahoo. As for the gimp, I go into konsole and type 'gimp' and it fires right up.
If I make a new shortcut on the desktop, can I include any options here for it
to start up as root or start thru konsole? Thanks again!

I recently got mandrake 10 running and am having a few problems with some programs.
I am still pretty much a newbie at this so bear with me.
1) Yahoo IM: I download the latest redhat 9 RPM and install it. When I run it, it only works
if run from konsole, and as root. then before I can set all the settings it crashes and I
get a 'segmantation fault' error. this app worked on 9.2 for me. Any ideas?
2) The Gimp 2.0: I have a bunch of RPM's from different places and installed them. If I
try to launch it from the menu or a desktop icon it won't startup. If I launch it from konsole
it starts right up. Why does this happen and what can I do to my menu link to fix it? If I
create a icon on my desktop how do I set that up properly? I tried this previously and
I kept getting a gimpwidgets error, which is installled already.
I think thats it for now, I just got UT2004 back up and running as I type this.
Thanks, Jason

I just downloaded some icons i'd like to use and don't know how to
install them. The file is a tar.bz2 file. If I go to config/look n' feel/icons
and choose 'install new theme', I get an error saying it is an invalid
type of file. I tried converting the file to some other formats, with no
luck. How do I install these icons? I'm a relative noob so any advice is
appreciated. I'm on 9.2. thanks.

It looks like the prblem has been corrected. I changed my bios settings as suggested
and bought a heavy duty surge protector and so far so good. I'm still baffled why this
would start happening after +1.5 years....oh well. thanks again for all the info.

Thanks for all the suggestions! I'm picking up a new power strip today
and will check out the bios settings as well. Hopefully this will be cleared
up tonight.

I've been having a weird problem lately and I'm not sure if it has anything
to do with linux or not. About a month or 2 ago I put mandrake 9.2 on my
machine as a dual boot with windows 2000. For the last few weeks my
machine will randomly turn itself on. I'll wake up in the morning, come home
from work and it will just be on. I've never heard of this happening, and I'm
a little confused as what causing it. Could this be a power strip problem? A
power problem with my machine? Does it have anything to do with the OS'?
Any ideas? Also, I had a corrupted windows 2000 last night and had to reinstall
it fresh, and the machine still turns itself on. Here are my machine specsa:
Windows 2000 sp3/Mandrake 9.2 dual boot
Athlon 2200
512 mb RAM
350w power supply
msi kt-3 ultra kt333 motherboard
512mb pc2700 RAM
60gig ATA HD
Thanks for any info!

Hey all, I currently use a win2000/mandrake 9.2 dual boot and
I am looking for a linux equivalant program. In win2000 I have
mailwasher, which allows me to see my email at my ISP before
I download it. mailwasher also allows me to delete spam, add
spam to a blacklist and so on. It there a linux program that is
similar or that can do these things? I miss being able to control
what email comes into my inbox. I use the latest Opera as my
email/browser. Thanks

ok, i'm back again with some good news. I decided to try installing the
game again last night and popped the cd into the cd drive, not the dvd.
started the install and it went through, no problems at all. I guess UT
doesn't like my dvd drive. Its cool I got the game working, but it is
noticably slower than on windows 2000. Do any of you have any
tweaks I can make to improve performance? Here are my machine
specs.
Athlon 2200
512 mb RAM
geforce T1 4600, 128mb latest linux drivers
mandrake 9.2
Thanks again for all the help.

Ok....I have all the most current packages and have them installed. At least
I think so, I didn't get any errors. Now when I try to install gtk+-2.4.0 I get
the exact same error message. If atk is installed, why is this still happening?
Thanks again!

Hey all, I'm having a problem with installing the new gimp 2.0. I have installed
atk-1.2.4, glib-2.2.0, pango-1.2.5, but cannot get gtk+-2.2.0 to go. Here is the
error I get:
checking whether make sets ${MAKE}... (cached) yes
checking for pkg-config... /usr/bin/pkg-config
checking for glib-2.0 >= 2.1.4 atk >= 1.0.1 pango >= 1.0.1... Package atk was not found in the pkg-config search path.
Perhaps you should add the directory containing `atk.pc'
to the PKG_CONFIG_PATH environment variable
No package 'atk' found
configure: error: Library requirements (glib-2.0 >= 2.1.4 atk >= 1.0.1 pango >= 1.0.1) not met; consider adjusting the PKG_CONFIG_PATH environment variable if your libraries are in a nonstandard prefix so pkg-config can find them.
[root@localhost gtk+-2.2.0]#
How do I correct this? Thanks for any advice!

hmmmm.......thats a possibility. I have about 7 gigs free space, before the install.
The game says it takes about 5.3 gigs of space. Does linux make a temp version
of the stuff its installing on the drive? Should I add more space to this drive?
Thanks!

I'm back, and having problems with the retail version as well. I run the sh file
and then it starts the install upto a point ands just exits. I get this message,
Copying to a temporary location...
Verifying archive integrity... All good.

OK, so I am making progress! I have the demo installed, then type 'ut2004demo' and get this error:
Loading required GL library /usr/X11R6/lib/libGL.so.1.2
Couldn't set video mode: Couldn't find matching GLX visual
What does this mean? Thanks.

Hello, let me start off by saying I am a linux newbie. I have mandrake 9.2 installed
and running fine. So I downloaded the UT2004 demo and could not get it installed.
Can anyone give me a step-by-step way to install it? Also, I want to get the linux
version of this game when it comes out, and was wondering if the install from the cd will be the same as the download? How does linux install programs from a cd?
Thanks for any info, this site has been a huge help for me so far!!!
