dependency problem might be the cause.. try to post the errors you see in your console... this might give us clue.. . ok, the amarok you'd just downloaded from its website are intended for Mandriva 2006... so I just dont know if installing it is a good idea.. try to use easy urpmi and add the ff. repo source.. main, contrib, update, plf free, and non-free then try to update amarok from that repositories.. though its not 1.4, 1.3 might be, but at least it will not break your system

what's the filesystem of that windows partition? if its an NTFS, then Mandriva's default access on that is Read only...

there's an application called opencascade, though I have'nt tried it myself.. fyi only :P

here, try the code below, create a file and copy...paste that on that file and name it something with .com or eicar.com then email it via your server as attachement X5O!P%@AP[4\PZX54(P^)7CC)7}$EICAR-STANDARD-ANTIVIRUS-TEST-FILE!$H+H* . if the server allows .com files to be sent as attachement, then surely, it will be detected as eicar virus test, you can view your log files about it.. else, it will not be sent, but still detected as virus nfected file...

mount that as root, create a folder on that partition, then make that folder writable to everyone.. or... create a group, say "rwgroup" then chown that folder to root.rwgroup and chmod 770 and make those users you want to have rw access to that folder a member of rwgroup.. :P

related ports to nfs but sorry not to answer the main question, I dont have shorewall on my box anymore, but if you can edit the shorewall config file manually, then just add those listed ports above to be accessible to from LAN

you can also try dia.

try this link, might help http://www.cyberciti.biz/tips/linux-setup-...quid-howto.html

try to specify the exact path of mplayer

you may be just start scanning your home directory... "/home/user" before doing it as root :P

I think guardog will log all those blocked ports.... if it has been blocked, then you can allow it on guardDog.. Im not just sure how to do it, since I dont use guarddoG.

maybe mplayer has not been set as default application to open that kind of file..

Im not sure what packages cause the conflict.. but since its qt-devel, might be that the QT itself have conflict with its devel packages, how did you install QT? if you installed it via urpmi, then there should be no problem, but if you've installed it manually by searching rpm packages of it on rpmbone or similar, then that might be the cause of conflict.... [uh, dont hate it, afterall, that's why they created this forum, to try to help those in need... just dont give up... by this, we'll be able to learn more about this great free OS]

it seems that carroll.cac.psu.edu is not in good shape.. try to use easyurmi again to add another mirror for updates, those that are active.. ok I have here.. copy and paste in your konsole, remove the old updates first.. . urpmi.removemedia updates . then add the new one . urpmi.addmedia --update updates ftp://mirrors.usc.edu/pub/linux/distributions/mandrakelinux/official/updates/2006.0/ main_updates/ with media_info/hdlist.cz [edited by tyme to fix code section]

just dont continue, try to resolve first the conflict.. where did you get your installed qt? if it came from the urpmi default repos, there should not be a problem... or before you install, try to update your repos first.. there might be some changes or update #urpmi.update -a -v that would update all of your repositories... then try the install again

try . #urpmi libqt3-devel

gowators' box acted as a server I assume.. so its more prone to breakin attempt... lots of service are running, ssh of course for remote admin,. desktop linux usually should not have an ssh server running on it, unless if you want to access on it from remote. to make the ssh more secure, try to hide it on internet... - you can have two eth, make sshd listen to eth connected to LAN or trusted network... - you can also disable the ssh and connect on that box via dial-up... that if you dont need to transfer large files..., just for administration

if you can boot as root, try to . #chown per.per -R /home/per . then try again

make sure you have installed qt-devel packages

got this from a certain linux cookbook, honestly.. have not tried it yet in actual, so try to do it on your test box first, assuming that u forgot the mysql passwd on that box... to see if it will work..

try #urpmi autoconf not #urpmi autoconf25 but make sure that you have the main, contribs and updates in your repositories...

which ever will work, I think that's what you should try to use...

rsync by default could be run by any user, so path to rsync should not be a problem... did you not forgot to put the #!/bin/sh on your script.. I noticed the output of those you'd cat.. no #!/bin/sh.. or maybe you'v just exclude it :P

the default crontab daily runs at 4:02 am.. maybe at that time the update repo has not been populated yet with the new updated packages
