The search feature is still horribly broken and the "View My Posts" feature is gone. What is the status of the upgrade?

kmail is included in "kontact" since kde3.2, but you can still access it via konsole, typing "kmail".

Hm. I found the icons for Kontact and KMail using menudrake but only the icon for Kontact appears after saving. (In fact - the entire Mail folder is gone after using menudrake!) There seems to be some discrepancies between menudrake and the K-Menu. Is that normal?

One more question if I may: Where'd KMail go? I can't find it anywhere. :unsure:

Many thanks, bvc!

Is this a known-issue with 9.2?

Hello, All:

I've finally installed and successfully updted Mandrakelinux 9.2. (If ever there was an example of why users should read the errata this is it!!!) After updating the installed packages, however, my K-Menu is half-empty: e.g.,

• MCC is gone,
  
• Konsole is gone, and
  
• Office is gone.
  

I've installed and updated twice and this has happened both times.

I've perused the KDE Help Center and learned about 'kappfinder' but that only recovered Office and a few miscellaneous items.

What the @#$@! happened? <-- Funny looking little guy that more-or-less illustrates my frustration but I'm not really that mad.

How can I restore all of the K-Menu icons (that were there before)?

Try creating your own ifcfg-eth0 by using this:

 

DEVICE=eth0<!--QuoteEBegin-->BOOTPROTO=dhcp<!--QuoteEBegin-->NETMASK=255.255.255.0<!--QuoteEBegin-->ONBOOT=yes

 

Then as root run:

 

# ifup eth0

<{POST_SNAPBACK}>

I had hoped to not resort to manual configuration but did anyway and the on-board ethernet works now.

Thanks.

FWIW: I've been looking around quite a bit and found a posting about a problem similar to mine (i.e., Mandrake wouldn't configure the wireless interface or the on-board interface). In his reply, Pzatch suggested turning off the on-board interface so I tried something along those lines: I removed the D-Link DWL-520 wireless adapter but it didn't make any difference: MCC still updates /etc/sysconfig/network-scripts/ifcfg- (instead of /etc/sysconfig/network-scripts/ifcfg-eth0).

Hi

what does

ifup eth0

says ?

/sbin/ifup: configuration for eth0 not found.

FWIW:

• There isn't a /etc/sysconfig/network-scripts/ifcfg-eth0 file
  The /etc/sysconfic/network file only contains 'NETWORKING=yes'
  

:unsure:

Let me start with a little tip on getting help.  The best thing you can do is look around.  If you were to use the search feature OR even read the titles of just the very first page of hardware questions...

This is the crux of the the Internet: There's too much good information! I actually poked-around quite a bit before posting. I must have been driving too fast though.

...the folllowing thread which posses TWO ways of configureing more compllex mice. The first with a nice GUI based app and the other through the command line and a text editor.

 

Look here ----->  http://www.mandrakeusers.org/index.php?showtopic=16246

 

All that being said, it seems that this is purely a configuration issue.  If it was unrecognized hardware, you probably wouldn't get the scrol to work.

 

The second thing you can do is update your kernel.  This can be done through the mandrake controll center.

Thanks!

Welcome to the boards.

And of course, if you get stuck anywhere, folks are always happy to help as long as you're doing your part. (i.e. searching and reading and then asking the most inteligent questions you can)

Thanks again, VeeDub!

FWIW: I'm able to manually configure the interface. :huh:

Hello, All:

I'm installing Mandrake 10.0 on an Intel i440GX server board and Mandrake won't configure the on-board ethernet interface (the Intel 82559 Fast Ethernet LAN chipset).

• The device registers in /proc/pci, (Bus 0, Device 14, IRQ 21)
  
• Mandrake Control Center 10...
  • Connection Manager allows me to set 'start at boot' and 'DHCP' (though the settings seem to be go back to their original values after a reboot), and
    
  • Hardware Manager correctly shows the device and recognizes that it needs the eepro100 kernel module.
    

  [*]/sbin/ifconfig shows the MAC address.

...but the interface won't start.

Any ideas?

I bought a really cool USB wireless keyboard/mouse combo last week (from Surplus Computers ) but can't get X to recognize any the five mouse buttons (though the scroll-wheel is recognized).

How can I configure X (XFree86-4.3-30mdk) to recognize the mouse buttons?
