too bad i cannot be doing that right now, my linux is crashed beyond repair (for more see the software forum BOOTLOADER......) edit i fixed it :D
-
It was storming at my house so i shut my computer off and unplugged it for safety reasons, but this morning, when i went to turn on the comp, instead of seeing lilo boot up, i got L 99 99 99 99 99 99 99 99 99 99 99 99 99 99 99 99 99 99 99 99 99 99 99 99 99 99 99 99 99 99 99 99 99 99 99 99 99 99 99 99 99 99 99 99 99 99 99 99 99 99 99 99 99 99 99 99 99 99 99 99 99 99 99 99 99 99 99 99 99 99 99 99 99 99 99 99 99 99 99 99 99 99 99 99 99 99 99 99 99 99 99 99 99 99 99 99 99 99 99 99 99 99 99 99 99 99 99 99 99 99 99 99 _ then it just stops with that blinking cursor "_" so i put in the mandrake 10 cd and said to reinstall the boot loader from the rescue disk, it did its thing, so i restarted the computer, got the same message, then i stuck the mandrake 10 official cd back in, and did an upgrade from the install menu, it went through and asked for all 3 disks as it installed stuff, restarted, same message, WHAT SHOULD I DO!!!! (on another note, my XP computer upstairs, i unpluged it for the storm, and when i turned it on today, it was missing system.ini, its kinda funny that on two seperate computers with two seperate operating systems, both have boot issues) (on the xp computer, i just kept restarting it when i got the message that said system ini was missing, and then magically it was fixed, and that is how i am talking to you now) Does anyone know what i should do? or should i wait for a mirical like the XP computer?
-
just to make sure this: ~/.xinitrc means /home/sherpa/.xinitrc right?
-
tried using yanc, but it does not seem to add the antialiasing
-
i know, but where do i make those settings, what do i write in XF86config-4?
-
i downloaded that yanc thing sttroopers and i dont think it is adding antialiasing to my XF86config-4 file. i saved the settings, and restarted, and i ran a glx gears to see if the fps was slower which it should have been since i set 4x gaussian antialiasing, and the fps remained the same as if nothing happened, does anyone know how to manually add antialiasing options?

should this topic be in hardware or software? Moved to software by Ixthusdan

i have a 52x writer drive, but when i try to burn a cd at 52x will not do it, instead it runs at about 15x, is there as way to speed this up? or change some type of buffer to a larger ammount (hard drive space is not a problem i have half a terabyte of free space B) )
-
so ~/.xsession-errors for me would mean /home/sherpa/.xswssion-errors right? sorry im off on a tangent, but i am trying to finish off my noobieness
-
i have it, but it does not seem to work, when ever i click on one of those wma files and try to add it to the playlist, i just wont do it, aka nothing appears
-
what does "~/anything" mean what does ~/ mean?
-
yes,that is a very important step to do...(actually installing the thing) [david@localhost david]$ glxgears 21500 frames in 5.0 seconds = 4300.000 FPS 22983 frames in 5.0 seconds = 4596.600 FPS 22969 frames in 5.0 seconds = 4593.800 FPS 22944 frames in 5.0 seconds = 4588.800 FPS 22677 frames in 5.0 seconds = 4535.400 FPS 22676 frames in 5.0 seconds = 4535.200 FPS

i have a quick question about XF86config-4 config... i want 2x Quincunx Multisampling and Low anisotropic filtering for my Gforce 4 Ti card, i have looked this up in the Install instructions but i don understand what i am supposed to do to the XF86config-4 file to apply these items. it says this but what do i do with it, where do i put it in the XF86config-4 file?
-
i cannot seem to get my system to play a lossless wma file that i have, it there a plugin for xmms that will fix this?
-
what about reinstalling kmix? i know that is a windows habit of mine (reinstalling something untill it works) but it may work here maybe....
-
i have seen other people's linux desktops via screenshot, i need a bar that i can put extra things on, like the system guard, and the weather, my xmms-kde. i would also loke a bar that i can click on to mount my cd drives and stuff, it would be nice to see a screenshot or two or others desktops
-
yep try also loading it from the command prompt via as william has said [root@localhost root]# cd /usr/bin [root@localhost bin]# xmms this should launch xmms and then try playing an mp3, if it crashes it will grive you the reason
-
are you using the link that is in the start menu? make a new link on you desktop rt click on desktop>>Create New>>File>>link to app name it XMMS, and then choose xmms's icon for the pic, then click on the "Application" tab in the space for command type /usr/bin/xmms then click ok, try playing an mp3, it should work!!! oh and make sure you are using xmms-1.2.10-1mdk xmms-1.2.10-1mdk xmms-diskwriter-1.2.10-1mdk xmms-alsa-1.2.10-1mdk if you dont have this version, see this page: Thanks to william who helped me with this before
-
dont reinstall, just put the disk in and say update, that might fix the problem!!! i know that has worked for some problems for me
-
ooo, kopete does exactly all i wanted to do, thanks though everyone!!!
-
Spymac angers me there was an incident where some users from spymac riped some images from Caedes.net....i dont even want to get into it..... but i have had it for 6 years and i dont want to get rid of it. i noticed that Kopete alerts me when i have new mail in my inbox!!! so that is good but ill try doing this.

How do you configure Kontact or Evolution to check mail from a hotmail account, Is it possible? i have my Kopete logged into my msn messenger account, but that is only because it had preset settings. Which program do you prefer Kontact, Evolution, or another? :D
