umm, Kweather has always worked for me.
But there is a little trick that must be done (at least for my system) the first time you use Kweather. You apply it, fill in your weather station, then -remove- it. Then apply it again. It should work then.
--------
That information is there by using Superkaramba with a modified minimax version 2 (kde-look.org) theme.

http://rpm.pbone.net has .rpm

KDE 3.3.2; xorg 6.8.2; custom colour theme; superkaramba with a modified minimax theme;
GreenIcos icons and CursorCraft-0.2 mouse theme (not seen in the screenshot)

sorry, I can't, I have to work ;)
-
try again, I reuploaded it because I had accidentally uploaded a shortcut to the file not the actual file
-
I'm attaching my xorg.conf (xfconfig) file, so you can see how it looks.
p.s. if still not working, delete any long strings of monitor resolutions under your real monitor in the file
(I use only one resolution, so it is fine for me)

I got a simmilar problem. But it can be gotten to work (it works for me).
This is what I did and maybe you should too:
1. su root (terminal)
2. log out of X (init 3)
3. run fglrxconfig, follow the steps
4. run mcc and choose your monitor (fglrxconfig generated a dirty xorg.conf file)
5. with emacs (or simmilar) open your /etc/x11/xorg.conf file
6. scroll down to the monitor section and scan for anything that is not related to your monitor (hint. watch out for sony valyo or smthing simmilar)
7. delete that
8. see that everywhere it is monitor0, display0 and screen0
9. if there is a different number, change it to 0
10. scroll to the graphics card section and delete any other card (if there is such) (hint. VGA), leave only ATI
11. save file
12*(optional) sacriface a goat to linux gods
13. $kde and see if it works (if x loads)
-----
If X has loaded then:
14. in a terminal: fglrxinfo and glxgears
p.s. on fglrxinfo you should get smthing like this:
$ fglrxinfodisplay: :0.0 screen: 0
OpenGL vendor string: ATI Technologies Inc.
OpenGL renderer string: RADEON 9000 DDR Generic
OpenGL version string: 1.3.4893 (X4.3.0-8.10.19)

Well, you can't tell that from mine too.

Hello!
I'm using XMMS 1.2.10 and I've tried several musepack versions, but every time I try to play an .mpc file xmms instantly crashes. I noticed this after updating to KDE 3.3, but I don't believe I have played .mpc files in this installation of MDK at all, so I don't think it's related to the new version of kde.
I've played .mpc files in the past and had no problems with .mpc files.
Any suggestions?

I am one such a designer (when I have nothing better to do).
I use VMware to run w2k in order to test my work.
-
Don't know if it will help, but do the config through their 'vmware-any-any-update84' script.
It is provided somewhere on their website.
-
thanx for your input, Crashdamage
something I have to take in mind in the future
-
I suggest you back up xorg.conf and XF86Config-4 files and then install the new drivers.
If the new ones will not work or will need to be adjusted above your knowledge..
either use a knoppix cd to connect to the net and ask for further advice or reinstall the old drivers/replace the config files with your old ones.
A try is not a lost battle ;)
-
While installing ati drivers I had an error, but that's no surprise for me.
So I had to handrewrite the xorg.conf file to suite my monitor, but that's no big deal.
What I'm grateful for is to Swerver for his xorg walkthrough.
It was so painless with thacs sources that it was wonderful.
A few days ago I tried to manual install xorg 6.8 , but only got annoyed,
now I have xorg 6.8! :)
thanx again, Swerver
$ glxgears 12004 frames in 5.0 seconds = 2400.800 FPS 12145 frames in 5.0 seconds = 2429.000 FPS 12144 frames in 5.0 seconds = 2428.800 FPS 12137 frames in 5.0 seconds = 2427.400 FPS 12068 frames in 5.0 seconds = 2413.600 FPS
And this is with my ancient Radeon 9000 Pro!!

So, what's wrong with using the provided source package? Why do you need an rpm?
I just placed a shortcut to home/user/software/thunderbird/thunderbird on my taskbar
and I can always launch it from a terminal ./thunderbird
p.s. I'm still using Thunderbird 0.7.3.. does anyone suggest an upgrade to 1.0? :/
0.7.3 does everything for me I need..
-
I use LILO because it works for me and I've never had any reason to switch to Grub (on MDK that is)
-
Almost a shame that such a pretty magazine has no 'advanced user' articles.. :(
-
thanx all the mighty linux gods! :P
but i'll believe it when I see it
and if it doesn't work, I'll have to rewrite the bloody config file again /grumbles/
-
Yes, add me aswell. :)
In my daily work I have to VMware Dreamweaver, Flash and a few more Windowze only software,
so a less resource consuming solution is greatly welcomed.
-
thanx! I'll try

Hello!
I have a remote webserver and a home computer.
My webserver on request generates a sql.gz backup file for each individual database on it.
How can I set up in Mandrake (software or some other code) that on scheduled times my home computer with username and password accesses my webserver, requests and downloads the sql.gz file (it's the same URL at all times for an individual database).
It would be good if the program auto renames the sql file by adding a date to it, or at least overwrites the existing backup file.
Is there a program I can use to do this?
thanx!
p.s. I'm not a programmer so I don't know how to code it myself.

I just hope that this bug localized or not is reported to Mandrake asap.
It's really annoying.
-
What it really needs is a few strong graphics apps. I know a few designers and they all would love to use Linux if they had Photoshop, Macromedia Suite, etc on Linux.
I use Photoshop through Crossover Office/VMware and Flash through VMWare.
You can say much about GIMP, but it simply isn't suitable for more complex graphic job. I know.
Linux will be there fully for me when I can use my Photoshop and Flash without sluggy emulation. Now it's some kind of a twilight zone (vmwares and wines).
-
Ah, that is wonderful news! Thank You!
The new unstable will have it, yes?
-
Now, if only it had a more stylish logo. Frankly that fat Tux penguin annoys me.
p.s. I too have no official computed education or anything. Been using computers since 1999 and all that I have learned is from my experience and some FAQ's.
I'm no programmer, but can do a fairly good graphical and webdesigning.
Fully turned to Linux march last year. I had no problems with Windows, all was firewalled, etc, but I began to feel limited by it, frequent restarting and defrag (I have 440gb) was another reason . Tryed a few distros here and there, but MDK seems good for what I need (Desktop).
Now waiting for Libranet 3.0 to be released, because I love apt-get (Synaptic), hate Debian installation and Ubuntu is too Gnome based for me (besides I hate its' logo (which can be rooted out of course)). Frankly, MDK feels too bloated for me and compiling on it is pain. Thus, yes, give me Libranet 3.0!! :P

Ubuntu logo sucks, default colour scheme sucks, gnome sucks and I don't like their superuser management. Besides I got Gnome artefacts while running KDE on it.
Until the Kubuntu is ready, there is nothing in it for me, except of synaptic which I love, but synaptic is also in other distros (Libranet for example)
---
Now that I've finished sounding like a little, annoyed kid I want to say, that I need it to run KDE flawlesly. Ubuntu is nice, but for a Gnome user and I hate Gnome.
---
Besides I'm used to Mandrake and like it quite much, I see no reason to change distros, but apt-get (synaptic) and MDK is a bit too bloated for me, but.. I can cope with it, I like Mandrake.
