well here is a snapshot of xscreensaver-demo, which one of these sets the ammount of time of inactivity of the keyboard and mouse before the screensaver comes on?

is there a way to force a disk scan... everytime i properly terminate a program in X aka pressing the x button on the window, it gives me a crash window, as if the program crashed, i dont understand this it has never happened before...

it is like any program that receives the term signal give a crash message, cause when i restart, many programs give me the message as it is shutting down...

what value do i set when i am in xscreensaver demo? i feel like an idiot, but i cannot find it, maybe a screenshot from someone?

ive noticed that there is not a place to set the time of inactivity before the screensaver becomes active, am i just not seeing it, or is it not there..

is there a way to get it intagrated into the configure desktop function? or do i always have to run it from a terminal, and do i have to run that command every time i restart, i did find a FAQ that told me to make a file in my autostart dir, (~/.kde/autostart) with the name xscreensaver.desktop, and contain the following lines:

[Desktop Entry]
Exec=xscreensaver
Name=XScreensaver
Type=Application
X-KDE-StartupNotify=false

not sure what this does please tell me,,,

it is crap!!! imo too

is there a way to use xscreensaver in kde instead of kde's screensaver system? or is there a way to add all of the xscreensaver's screensavers to the kde list? :D

what is the best kernel for a P3 933 mghz and 512 mb of ram?

I'm trying to figure out exactly what this is all about?

Ok, I've figured most of it out and it looks really interesting. Good luck explaining it to n00bs though...

well since you mentioned n00b.....

i dont understand what it is, it makes the desktop look 3d?

well i tried both, i urpmi wine, and got one version that had a wine package and a libwine1 packege that was a depend....

i also downloaded the latest versions from the winehq, it is only one rpm package, and installed it, and got the same thing...

funny when i use wine tools and i go to edit the wine config file, nothing shows up... i have tried uninstalling and reinstalling many times...

[root@localhost david]# winesetup
bash: winesetup: command not found
[root@localhost david]# wine
wine              wineconsole       winegcc           wineprefixcreate
wineboot          winecpp           wine-kthread      wine-preloader

winecfg           winefile          winemine          wineshelllink
wineclipsrv       wineg++           winepath
[root@localhost david]# wine

i guess i will try winecfg?

[root@localhost david]# wine /mnt/cdrom/setup.exe
wineserver: /root/.wine/config is not a valid registry file
wine: for some mysterious reason, the wine server failed to run.
[root@localhost david]#

not sure what this is, but this is what i get when i try to do any wine things

[root@localhost david]# /etc/init.d/network restart
Shutting down interface eth0:                                   [  OK  ]
Shutting down loopback interface:                               [  OK  ]

Bringing up interface eth0:                                     [FAILED]
[root@localhost david]#

this is what i got when i restarted it, however i am now talking to you through my linux machine, is there any reason i get this failed message? but the device still works? i also get this message in startup...

thanks

is there a command that will restart the networ service? my network device has failed to start up after reboot, is there a command to restart it?

can this not be done?

this morning on boot up, eth0 passed, and portmapper failed.... i dont get it...

lol

is there a way to get wine to use the actuall .dll files from windows? i have a copy of windows installed on my computer. would wine run windows apps better if it had the actual .dll from windows. Or is this even possible? i still have not got one program to run with wine... :(

i have never actually looked at the fstab file before, where is it? i would like to check it out...

ya, i have no problems running mandrake none of those problems seem to manifest themselves when i get to gui mode. As far as i know i am up to date with all the updates, what is "dm" by the way....

lol

i get several failures at startup. one is at "Mounting all file syetems" if fails, but it says that there are too many filesystems and that may be because i have so many harddrives, next is "eth0" it fails, but it does work once mandrake is up and running b/c i can get on the internet, and last is "dm" isnt this the display manager?, well i dont know why this fails either but it does, if it means display manager, i do boot up to a GUI and X works, so... is there any way to fix it? or should i just leave well enough alone

nevermind it already does it

i wanted to know if there is a way to get grub to be able to boot my raid drives. Currently i have mandrake on one of my ide partitions (see my signature for full details) and i have windows on my on board ATA 133 raid controller, i have several other partitions, and they all show up in grub as win_c win_d, but those are just other ide partitions, i would be able to boot to those partitions via grub, but is it possible to get grub to boot the raid drives?
