I don't know why this appens but if you want to open another mozilla windows simply press CTRL-N and problem is solved. This is what I do... MOttS

Hey .. I did the test and in my case it's this one: /usr/share/icons/hicolor/16x16/apps/kmenu.png If you use a larger taskbar then it will be 32x32 of 48x48. MOttS

Ok I found it with 'locate kmenu'. I got a bunch of crap but here it is /usr/share/icons/hicolor/16x16/apps/kmenu.png /usr/share/icons/hicolor/32x32/apps/kmenu.png /usr/share/icons/hicolor/48x48/apps/kmenu.png Try this one too /usr/share/icons/kde.xpm The one that is choosen depends how you set you taskbar I guess.. MottS

People can download it from PLF mirror along with the dependencies. The best way is to use urpmi. urpmi.addmedia plf ftp://plf.chem.yorku.ca/pub/plf/9.0 with hdlist.cz urpmi mplayer MOttS

You could try to locate the icon and put another one instead (with the same name). I don't know which config file tells which icon to take to I can't help you more than that. MOttS

From this site: http://wt.xpilot.org/publications/linux/ho...d-writing/html/ you have to use comas so you are right :wink: MOttS

To go one directory up you need two dots (../). I don't know if cdrecord cares or not but I would not take chances. For dev=0,0,0 or dev=0.0.0, I would look into 'man cdrecord' just to be sure. MOttS

You should check the MD5SUM of each cds before to brun them. Here is a link related to that: http://www.club-nihil.net/mub/viewtopic.php?t=5172. Now, if the sum is ok then you burn the iso this way: cdrecord -v -data -eject speed=6 dev=0.0.0 mandrake9_cd1_inst.iso Don't put the ./ before the file !! Hope this help MOttS

I hope that driver will resolve the lock-up problem after 2-3 days the computer is up.. I'm refering to that: http://www.club-nihil.net/mub/viewtopic.ph...7310&highlight= I'm thinking this prob is due to the nVidia driver because I'm using the normal "nv" driver since 3 days now without any prob... MOttS

So I can't help you. I don't use Windows neither programs that are made for that OS. MOttS

Usually the non-rpm progz are in .tar.gz format. So the first thing is to copy that somewhere like /home/whatever_user/programs/ and unzip it (tar xvfz program_name.tar.gz). Then, cd to the new directory (cd program_name) and take a look inthere (ls -l). Usually there is a README file and a INSTALL file. Read those carefully because they give you hints about how to install the prog and how to configure it. Usually the install procedure is the same --> you have to run a script that checks if you have all the required software to compile the program. This is done by typing './configure'. If you get no errors by running './configure' then you can compile it by typing 'make'. Depending on the size of the program this can take a second to an hour (compile the Mandrake Linux kernel takes about 1:30 on my machine .. lol). Now, if you got no error then you can install the program by typing 'make install' (you have to be root to install the program because it's going to copy binaries and other stuff somewhere else than your $HOME directory). You sometimes have to make a shortcut to the binaries in your /usr/bin directory so that you can run it from the command line. You can also call the binary from its location like /usr/local/program/binary. If you have no clue where the program has been install then look for it with 'locate program_name'. Hope this help a bit MOttS

I recently compiled my kernel and I've seen that option in 'make menuconfig'. It is called CONFIG_APM_CPU_IDLE and was enabled by default. Here is the HELP file related to this option: I can be wrong here but those features are already all sets in Mandrake so we don't need to install anything like CPUidle. MOttS

What about using 'kwuftpd' ? It's a graphical frontend for wu-ftp. I've never use it but I know it exist. Try typing 'kwuftpd' in a console. if It's not there then try to install it with rpmdrake. Hope this help MOttS

By doing what it is said to do in the 3 above links, you'll be able to write to your vfat partition but always get annoying and pointless error messages about not being able to set permissions when moving files to this medium. Those messages can be automatically deleted by write another option to your fstab --> the 'quiet' option. Here is an example Hope this help MottS

If you want to modify base, treble and other stuff just run 'aumix' For documentation then the better place to look is their webpage.. http://www.alsa-project.org/ http://www.alsa-project.org/documentation.php3 MOttS

You can do whatever you want on an vfat partition if you mount it the right way. You have to mount it with umask=0 and some other stuff so that your normal user can read/write/execute on a vfat partiton. Unfortunately for you (but fortunately for me), I'm windows free here so I don't have any vfat partition :lol: :lol: . But here is a link to a similar post. I wrote that when I still had windows... lol http://www.club-nihil.net/mub/viewtopic.ph...5609&highlight= http://www.club-nihil.net/mub/viewtopic.ph...highlight=fat32 http://www.club-nihil.net/mub/viewtopic.ph...highlight=fat32 Hope this help MOttS

You can do urpmf fetchmail to get all the files installed by the rpm. Usually the binaries are in /usr/bin Hope this help MOttS

How did you managed to install ms word? Could it be a partition formating problem? .. like ms word not able to save on anything else but vfat or ntfs. MottS

Hey . I just checked on my computer and /usr/lib/rpm/rpmb is a program. This is not a directory so you created it for nothing. Are you sure you installed all the required packaged to rebuild source rpm? --> rpm-rebuilder and dependencies. Check if you installed it via rpmdrake-remove. If you can't remove it then you NEED to install it from rpmdrake. As you can see there is NO directory in /usr/lib/rpm MOttS

Yes, eDonkey IS slow but there is more choice, this is why I use it. You have to download 15-20 things in the same time so that the average transfer rate increase. You also need to be patient .. :lol: Right now I dl about 15 divx and the average transfer rate is 50 kB/s. MOttS

I use LimeWire a bit but the best one is EDONKEY. You can find TONS of movies (avi format) in any language, TONS of full albums (not just one song, the whole album!) and it is fully cross-platform -> Mac, Win, *nix. I like it! Download the CORE here --> http://www.edonkey2000.com/downloads.html And the Frontend (GUI) here --> http://ed2k-gtk-gui.sourceforge.net/core.shtml MOttS

Exellent!! :D :D

You have to run Mandrake 9 to have to Wizards. Do you? If you indeed run Mdk 9 then search for 'wiz' in rpmdrake. The Wizard package HAS to be there unless you already installed it. MOttS

We added all the paths included in /usr/X11R6/lib/X11/XF86Config-4.eg. Here they are and that didn't solve the problem. Anyway, problem is solved now.. Thx chalex20 MottS

I wasn't even awared that could be done .. that's funny. When I was beginning using Linux and things was screwing up, I was reinstalling the whole thing.... lol. I was saying to myself 'ok .. this time I'm not going to do that and this'. And one day I said 'NO .. I'm not going to reinstall. I'm going to fix it'. Well, I really started to learn something at that point. Actually, this is when things breaks that we learn something .. This is why we'll never know what the problem was really is. ThankS MOttSS
