What I'm interested in achieving is, if you look in the original picture I post. Look at the file manager windows, I beleive they are Rox windows. Well look at the upper border ( the one that shows the path ) also look at the minimized/maximized/closed buttoms. That is the look I want to achieve in my Fluxbox. Javi

I don't know if it would work in fluxbox, that's why I'm asking LiquidZoo. I'm almost positive that the file manager in that snap shot is Rox. I'm attaching an image of my Fluxbox WM with Rox windows open. Isn't that almost the same window. Javi

Hi people, I want to identify the theme use in the attached image and also If I can use that one with Fluxbox. I want my Rox file manager to look like that one. Any help welcome. Javi

Found this settings for firefox that seem to add some speed; Javi

What I'm suppossed to look for when running that command ?

How come I have posted using to different IP's. I only have one system at my home. Okay, I think that is because I use a computer at my workplace to post sometimes. But can you explain how my system got chage from; [jmr0311@home-desktop jmr0311]$ to this [jmr0311@localhost jmr0311]$ Do you think that there is a possibility, an application running in my system did it ? Thanks for taking the time and help me understand all this. javi

That's the point, I haven't done anything to my system that could suggest why it change. Hi anon, what do you mean with that ?. I being running my mandrake system for about three month using the way it was [jmr0311@home-desktop jmr0311]$ without any problem. Why now decide to change on its own or perhaps maybe someone did ti.

Hi guys. I did notice something. This is the way when I open terminal that the first line in terminal use to look; [jmr0311@home-desktop jmr0311]$ Now, after I seen all this unexplicable behavior in my system I notice the line in terminal change to this; [jmr0311@localhost jmr0311]$ I haven't done any change to my system. How that got change without the intervention of somebody ? I still think that something is going on on my system. Javi

I'm trying to install Chkrootkit in my system but I'm getting this error, any idea welcome; [root@localhost chkrootkit-0.43]# make sense gcc -DHAVE_LASTLOG_H -o chklastlog chklastlog.c gcc -DHAVE_LASTLOG_H -o chkwtmp chkwtmp.c gcc -DHAVE_LASTLOG_H -o ifpromisc ifpromisc.c gcc -o chkproc chkproc.c gcc -o chkdirs chkdirs.c gcc -o check_wtmpx check_wtmpx.c gcc -static -o strings-static strings.c /usr/bin/ld: cannot find -lc collect2: ld returned 1 exit status make: *** [strings-static] Error 1 [root@localhost chkrootkit-0.43]# Javi

MIT-MAGIC-COOKIE The MIT-MAGIC-COOKIE protocol allows Xdm to create a hard-to-guess token that is only readable by the user account which successfully logged in via Xdm. It uses the Unix file system access control to protect the token. The user can copy this token to the user's home directories on other systems to allow clients on those hosts to connect to the X server. [sch91] When using MIT-MAGIC-COOKIE-1, the client sends a 128 bit ``cookie'' along with the connection setup information. If the cookie presented by the client matches one that the X server has, the connection is allowed access. The cookie is chosen so that it is hard to guess; xdm generates such cookies automatically when this form of access control is used. The user's copy of the cookie is usually stored in the .Xauthority file in the home directory, although the environment variable XAUTHORITY can be used to specify an alternate location. Xdm automatically passes a cookie to the server for each new login session, and stores the cookie in the user file at login. The cookie is transmitted on the network without encryption, so there is nothing to prevent a "network snooper" from obtaining the data and using it to gain access to the X server. This system is useful in an environment where many users are running applications on the same machine and want to avoid interference from each other, with the caveat that this control is only as good as the access control to the physical network. In environments where network-level snooping is difficult, this system can work reasonably well. I found that information doing some google and that's why I'm a little concern. Javi

What is .ICEauthority hidden file in my home directory ? . I notice my machine a little slow, and I'm wondering if my system is being compromise. I'm not running any server, and there is only one user, ME. I read this line " MIT-MAGIC-COOKIE " inside that file. In one instance I notice around three hidden files with this name " .dcopserver_localhost_0 " and all of the sudden they disappear in front of my eyes. Can anyone help me understand what's going on? Javi

Hi people, How this "modprobe.conf" file looks to you. Because I feel that firefox is not very fast in my system; Thanks in advance for any suggestions. Javi

Here is another one, very cool !!! Javi

How can you make Firestarter run as a service. I went to the website of firestarter and it says this; I did the installation using the RPM package, then I went to MDK control center>System>Services but I don't see firestarter as one of the services. Am I missing something or else ? And by the way thank you guys for your comments, I greatly appreciate them. Javi

I did the installation of Firestarter 0.9.3 following the instructions in their website, everything went flawless. Now, I want to run Firestarter when I'm login into Fluxbox. I add this instruction ( firestarter & ) to my startup file for fluxbox, but when I load into fluxbox the firewall firestarter doesn't start until I enter my root password on the little pop-up window that appears. Do you guys know if there is any switch or anything I can add to this instruction ( firestarter & ) that will allow the application to start automatically without asking me for the root password. Javi

I don't know is this will help you but just give it a try. Look for your mplayerplug-in.conf file and open it. This is a snap shot of the file in my system: Maybe you can try changing some of those setting. This is a link that explain those setting in the ( *.conf ) file. Remember that if you do any change to the file, you have to recopy them to the respected folders I mention in the original post, so the changes could take effect. Javi

Glad to help...!!! Javi

Which one should I install the latest RPM version of Firestarter 0.9.3 or use the one I get through MDK control center which is 0.9.2-6mdk. The newest version has quite a few improvements. I do posses a 2Wire router on my system I just want another tool like Firestarter that I can use to monitor in real time any intrusion or attempts. How can I determine if I posses all the Gnome libraries in my system. Javi

Bump :

Try to add mplayerplug-in.so and mplayerplug-in.xpt files into this directory ~/.mozilla/plugins/. You will find the ( *.so and *.xpt ) file in this directory ~/mplayerplug-in/ . Also what I did was to copy this two files ( mplayerplug-in.conf - mplayerplug-in.type ) in this two directories ~/.mozilla/ and /etc/ . So far I'm able to play all types of stream videos. If you need more help just ask again. I hope it help... Javi

I read in their website that this application is developed; I think for GNOME. Sorry if I misinterpreted wrongly. But can you used Firestarter linux firewall in a system running KDE as desktop manager. How about, if you are in a windows manager like Fluxbox ? Is this firewall a good choice to use as another layer of defense against intrusions. Javi

My weather Gdesklet is not remembering the position I set it up. Is kind of annoying that everytime I turn the computer on, I have to right click the desklet and drag it to the last position I put it. Any idea what can I do to fix this poblem. Javi

Finally have Fluxbox looking and working good. Hope you like it as much as I do. Javi :lol:

Hi guys, I just want to follow up on the problem I was having with idesk. Some how when I was switching between styles under Fluxbox, one of the files "~/.idesktop/*.lnk"; his content got erased. That was causing the error, I just re-configure the file and everything start working again. Javi

Hi guy's, I need your help big time. The other day I was switching styles in Fluxbox for my menus and all of the sudden the icons I set-up in "iDesk" disappear from my screen. I try to run idesk in terminal but its giving me this error; What I need to do to have my icons back. After so much effort I put getting Fluxbox to work properly, when I was finally enjoying it took a turn for the worst. Any help guys is appreciate. Javi
