My Desktop, GNOME 2.4 (i believe thats the version number..), 1600 x 1200 resolution

shoot, my bad, double post. sorry about that i guess there was a little lag..

thanks very much for your help everyone, i was able to get it working, and i can now type in japanese.

thanx for the info. i tried installing UIM instead, but the first time it didnt work. later i came across this site (http://www.geocities.co.jp/SiliconValley-Cupertino/5207/type_Japanese_on_mdk_02.html) explaining how to enter japanese text using UIM and anthy. according to URPMI i have everything installed, so the next thing to do (according to the site) is to edit that `/.i18n file. unfortunately, i dont have it. when i try to gedit it in the console, it says the file doesn't exist. what do i do? thanx again for the help.

installed a japanese input system on MDK 10, how do i use it? i believe its called FreeWnn. i tried running it from the console and i cant find it in the menu. any advice? thank you very much.

hey again, thanks for the help, i wuz able to get UT up and running, except theres a couple of problems. the input seems a little buggy, because when im running down a hallway for example, and i lift my finger off of the "forward" key (w in my case), i keep on running, and pressing it again sometimes stops it, plus the game seems to pause itself even when im not pressing the pause button, (yes the "Pause" thing comes up on the screen too.) and the weapons fire by themselves. is there any Linux UT Patch i may have missed? any suggestions on how to fix this? thanx in advance!

cool thanx for the info. i wuz able to get foobillards running. thanx a bunch!

OK, so i tried that and it showed me a list of stuff related to XMMS, like xmms-alsa and xmms-mesa and asked me if this was OK (i believe it was trying to install those, but i didnt) and when i tried to install foobillard from URPMI, it gave me this: installing foobillard-2.9-SDL.i586.rpm Installation failed: libGLcore.so.1 is needed by foobillard-2.9-SDL Try installation without checking dependencies? (y/N) i tried installation without checking dependencies, but now i cant find where its installed. its not in the KDE menu...

im looking to install Cedega from CVS (with help from http://www.linux-gamers.net/modules/wfsect...hp?articleid=45 this article) on Mandrake 10 CE (downloaded version) and according to the article, i need XFree86 devel packages XFree86 Mesa packages XFree86 Mesa devel packages Flex (flex-old on debian) Bison i think i got the XFree86 devel packages using URPMI, but i dunno about the Mesa packages. isn't Mesa the OpenGL thing for Linux? im usin an nVidia Riva TNT2 32 MB (AGP) card. i have the drivers from nVidia's site installed already. can someone show me just exactly where to go to get this stuff? ====== i also tried installing Foobillard-2.9 from RPM, but it brings up a: Some package requested cannot be installed: foobillard-2.9-SDL.i586 (due to unsatisfied libGLcore.so.1) do you agree ? this message also comes up when i try to install the SDL Package(+ Devel + Mixer). any advice on these issues? many thanks!

hello all. ive just finished installing Gimp 2.0.2 from source on Mandrake 10, and i would like to know where i go to access it. the GIMP listed in the KDE Startup Menu is version 1.2.5.

are there any Linux drivers for the Logitech Clicksmart 510? its detected in Harddrake as a scanner, but when i try to configure it, its not listed in the "scanner" list. i was able to download this .o file that supposedly adds support for the cam, but i dunno where to place it.. im usin Mandrake 10.0, still a n00b to the whole Linux thing, kernel version 2.6.3-7 mdk, on a dual boot system.

thanx for d help. pango still not working though. how about using URPMI to install this stuff? im not too familiar w/it but i heard it solves dependency problems.

really? didn't realize that, thx for the info. i wuz hoping to upgrade to GIMP 2.0.3, which requires GTK, which requires pango, atk, pkgconfig, etc.

ive been having some problemss installing (compile from source) Pango 1.4.0. i keep getting an error during ./configure that says GLib isn't version 2.4.0 and above, but i know i installed version 2.4.4. any way to "point" it at where i installed GLib (/usr/local/lib i think..)? thanks! heres the output of ./configure [root@pldt pango-1.4.0]# ./configure checking for a BSD-compatible install... /usr/bin/install -c checking whether build environment is sane... yes checking for gawk... gawk checking whether make sets $(MAKE)... yes checking for native Win32... no checking for gcc... gcc checking for C compiler default output file name... a.out checking whether the C compiler works... yes checking whether we are cross compiling... no checking for suffix of executables... checking for suffix of object files... o checking whether we are using the GNU C compiler... yes checking whether gcc accepts -g... yes checking for gcc option to accept ANSI C... none needed checking for style of include used by make...

ok thanx for the info, ill try that later. thanx very much.

thanks for the reply. i took out my ISP's IP, and left in it the DNS servers. theres also this thing there that says "search". am i supposed to do anything with that? i put the DNS server IP in that field too. so far, it still doesn't work. search 202.172.11.21 ...

nope, sorry, didn't work. im still not able to get to sites like www.nvidia.com even though i know its up. heres a list of things ive already tried 1. editing /etc/resolv.conf, placing the IP of my ISP's website there (i dont know their nameserver IP) , both after the "search" and "nameserver" things. 2. adding "alias net-pf-10 off" in /etc/modprobe.conf. it did help with some speed issues, but some sites are still inaccesible 3. turning on my LAN cards onboard Boot ROM. i suppose it causes mandrake to re-detect my LAN card, and thus, set it up again.. 4. installing mandrake 10 again. so far, i can get online, but i cant get to some sites that i can get to in windows. thx for the assistance though.

yea, ive added the IP of my ISP in there. still not working right though.

greetings. im having some trouble with the Internet in Mandrake 10.0 (download edition) and would appreciate any help offered. you see, when i start up mozilla, i can connect to the net fine and everything , but some sites i cant access, even though im able to get to them in windows on the same machine. it just sits there with "resolving host www.(name of site here).com" on the status bar, and then returns an alert that says the host cant be found. the only few sites ive been able to access so far are: Google Animewallpapers.com The Daily Tribune (local newspaper here..) any suggestions? im running MDK 10, GNOME, dual boot on two seperate drives, MDK 10 on one and Win98 on the other, Cable Modem is a Motorola SURFboard SB3100, Eth Card is a Via VT6102 Rhine II onboard lan. I have my IP addresses statically configured, since DHCP didn't really work. thanks in advance
