I have just got Bittorent for linux, but I'm having trouble downloading files with it. I also have it for Windows, but it appears the Linux version might be slightly diffferent.

In windows you simply click on the torrent file and away it goes automatically. In linux I've tried the same thing but it doesn't automatically start a download and I don't know how to do it manually. How do I do it?

My browser is Firefox 0.9.

Thanks.

Fixed! Looks like it was the "soundwrapper xmms" problem that Latem mentioned.

Thanks for the help all! :D

I've tried both 1.2.9 and 1.2.10 and they both freeze up as soon as I try and play an mp3.

Does anyone know what would cause this?

Thanks! :D

Kernel 2.4.25

I recently tried installing XMMS (the latest version), but found that it didn't work and crashed.

I remember reading somewhere that some versions of XMMS work better than others in mdk10.

Does anyone know which versions are better?

Which versions do you use?

Thanks.

I never thought I'd say this...

But I got the beta drivers to work!

It was a struggle, but man it feels good!

Attached is a copy of my oscompat.h file (I have renamed it to oscompat.txt, so I could upload it though).

I've also got a copy of the contents of the oscompat.h

I've made the lines that it is having troubles with bold.

I think it's a C programming related issue.

Does anyone know how to fix it? :unsure:

I'm using kernel 2.4.25-2 and noticed that "KERNEL_VERSION(2,4,20)" appears a couple of times. Does this mean it's incompatible with my kernel?

I'm trying to run hsfconfig after the "hsflinmodem5.03.27.tar.gz" file has been installed.

I'm getting a problem when I'm at the kernel source part. The error I get is:

rm -f *.o *.a

make[1]: Entering directory `/usr/lib/hsf/modules/osspec'

rm -f *.o *.a

make[1]: Leaving directory `/usr/lib/hsf/modules/osspec'

* compiling (gcc) mod_osspec.c

In file included from mod_osspec.c:51:

../modules/osspec/include/oscompat.h:274:5: missing terminating " character

../modules/osspec/include/oscompat.h:320:1: missing terminating " character

make: *** [mod_osspec.o] Error 1

Does anyone know what this means and how to fix it?

I'm using kernel 2.4.25-2 and I have the source installed.

Alternatively, where can I get the 'hsfcompat_24-1.0d.tar.gz' file from? (note: The http://www.mbsi.ca/hsfcompat/hsfcompat_24-1.0d.tar.gz link doesn't work)

Awesome!

Thanks mate. :D

Hi,

I'm trying to reinstall Mandrake (10.0 Official Download edition) on my system.

I would like to install Kernel 2.4.x (the one that comes with it), but there is no option as to which kernels I can install (the only option, to the best of my knowledge, being 2.4.x AND 2.6.3-7).

I have tried installing both kernels (but it has resulted in quite a few crashes), and also tried using the 2.4.x kernel from Lilo, but the mouse wont work and I get a whole heap of error messages.

Is there any way I can install only kernel 2.4.x?

I am thinking of getting Wine, but they say in their FAQ that it is only Intel x86 compatible. Does this mean that my Athlon XP processor wont run it?

In konqueror I believ there is an option under view->show hidden files. That should show all the files. If it doesn't you might want to hit refresh.

Geez, that was too obvious! I can't believe I missed that! Sorry bro! :D

I've just installed Gaim and am trying to install an icon set. I am told to put the files in /home/(username)/.gaim/smileys

However, this folder doesn't exist when i try to find it in the GUI.

Is there any way to make hidden folders appear in the GUI?

Alternatively, what is the command to move files or folders from one directory to the other in the konsole?

Thanks!

I've just downloaded Firefox 0.91 and appear to have installed it correctly.

However, after installing (in which it runs Firefox) I closed Firefox and don't know how to use it again (ie. execute the file)

How do you do this?

Thanks!

Awesome!

Thanks SoulSe! :D

Thanks for feedback folks!

I've disabled the firewall and everything is going well!

I've nmapped myself to test my security and it came up with this:

(The 1651 ports scanned but not shown below are in state: closed)

PORT    STATE SERVICE

22/tcp  open  ssh

111/tcp  open  rpcbind

139/tcp  open  netbios-ssn

445/tcp  open  microsoft-ds

725/tcp  open  unknown

838/tcp  open  unknown

2049/tcp open  nfs

6000/tcp open  X11

Am I fairly safe with these ports open?

Which options should I keep checked/unchecked in my firewall settings to allow for me to browse, email, IM with maximum security?

The options it gives me are:

*Everything (no firewall)

*Web Server

*Domain name server

*ssh server

*ftp server

*mail server

*pop and imap server

*samba server

*echo request (ping)

I am a pretty average internet user (browsing, email, messaging) so I'm guessing I probably don't need most of this stuff going?

Thanks again!

I do have the firewall going.

Sily question, but is it fairly safe to let the firewall down? I'm used to windows where disabling zone alarm makes you a sitting duck.

Am I still fairly safe using Linux without a firewall?

Thanks!

Thanks for help folks!

Found the problem. I was try to find the kppp configuration folder in konqueror (which didn't list it). Tried to find the directory in the konsole and found it.

Deleted the kppp.pid file and it works just dandy.

I'm guessing the directory is hidden or something.

I have just configured KPPP to connect me to the internet, and it appears to do so correctly (ie. it says I'm connected, etc...). However, when I start up my internet browser (either Mozilla or Konqueror) it doesn't seem to be able to find a page I try to load. Kopete has the same problem, it doesn't connect to the networks.

It seems to be an internet configuration problem, rather than a specific program problem because no programs I have connect to the internet.

Does anyone know how I can fix my problems?

Thanks!

[moved from Hardware by spinynorman]

I checked through my Mandrake software manager (or whatever it's called) and found that the 2.4 kernel was listed as being installed as well as the 2.6.3-7 kernel.

I have now removed it. Hopefully it will stop the random crashes.

:D Thanks for your help everyone!

Thanks armondf! :D

Does anyone know of any good websites that go through the procedure step-by-step (preferably for newbies)?

Thanks!

I tryed to find the kppp.pid file, but couldn't find the directory it specified (is it hidden?) and also tried to search for the file itself which didn't result in any matches.

Hmmmmmmmmmmmmm?

Hey all.

I've had a problem with KPPP recently (ever since linux crashed whilst trying to connect to the internet) and the error message when I try to start KPPP is:

"KPPP can't read from /home/my username/.kde/share/apps/kppp/kppp.pid

Does anyone else know how to fix this?

Thanks!

Ahhhhhhhh. I probably didn't do that then.

Is it possible to have more than one installed kernel (in my case 2.6.3-7 and 2.4.x) on the same system, that you can switch between at startup?

Is it fairly easy to set up?
