  1. Use Gimp, it is not very hard to learn :) . But there are other tools: Kuickshow (KDE) can do simple brightness, contrast and gamma modifications. xnview (www.xnview.org) for batch operations like, renaming, resizing, generating a web page etc. Ton
  2. This part in my script checks if Mozilla is running. (take a look at my earlier posting) MOZSTAT=`ps -C $MFBIN|grep -v PID|wc -l` if [ 0 -eq $MOZSTAT ] then ...............
  3. I use this script: #!/bin/bash MFDIR=/opt/MozillaFirebird MFBIN=MozillaFirebird-bin MOZSTAT=`ps -C $MFBIN|grep -v PID|wc -l` if [ 0 -eq $MOZSTAT ] then $MFDIR/MozillaFirebird $* & else case $# in 0) $MFDIR/MozillaFirebird -remote xfeDoCommand\ \(openBrowser\) & ;; 1) $MFDIR/MozillaFirebird -remote openurl\($*,new\-window\) ;; *) echo Usage: $0 "[url]" ;; esac fi I posted it on a MozillaFirebird forum a few days ago. Hope this helps?
  4. Firebird can do this. Ton
  5. Hi, I use MDK9.1 and have a Voodoo3 card. Have you tried running startx from the commandline? Does it show any errors? Ton (no i don´t want to upgrade to 9.2)
  6. I use kpackage for these things. Use the search button to find the package and you get a description and a list of the installed files. Handy is the option to click on a file (eg README) and view it´s content.
  7. Mandrake 9.1 runs fine on my Sony Vaio FX-802 except for the TV-out. I can switch to TV-out but the image on my TV is distorted. I tried other resolutions but nothing seems to work. How do I get TV-out to work properly? Thanks in advance, Ton
  8. Which type of camera do you have? My Fuji Finepix 2400Z is on /dev/sda1 (on Mandrake 9.0 and Mandrake 9.1) Mayby Supermount is causing trouble? Have you tried turning that off?
  9. No problems here getting 9.1 working on my Sony Vaio. I only had a small problem with the sounddrivers during the first boot. ALSA and Sound made the system halt. Rebooted again using the interactive boot sequence, skipped all the sound things, Got into KDE, upgraded 9.1 with the latest patches and now it's running fine. The only thing is that a shutdown ends with a black screen and I have to push the button to turn the notebook off. This didn't happen with 9.0. Reboot still doesn't work, but who needs this? Ton
  10. Hi, I installed Mandrake 9.0 next to WindowsXP on my Sony Vaio FX-802. I use Lilo to choose between them. When I switch on the machine everything is fine, the bootscreen appears and I can choose the OS. When I reboot Linux the system reboots but stops after the bios-screen. Turning it off and on and it boots ok (just the message the previous boot failed etc.) When I choose to turn of the machine in Linux it's ok and after turning it on again the bootscreen is there. When I reboot WindowsXP everything is fine. How can I get Linux to let the notebook reboot properly? Ton

    Login manager

    Hi, it's done in /etc/sysconfig/desktop. Put a line DISPLAYMANAGER=<displaymanager of your choice> in it. My /etc/sysconfig/desktop contains: KDE DISPLAYMANAGER=kdm Greetings and HTH, Ton
  12. It can be a number of things: 1. Have you made the script executable (chmod +x <scriptname>). 2. In my first attempt I forgot #!/bin/bash in the script, so kwrite opened when I logged in. Have you checked with konqueror that the script is executable? 3. Is xscreensaver in your path? Hope this helps.
  13. Hi, to get xscreensaver working put the following in your ~/.kde/Autostart directory: Filename e.g.: launch-xscreensaver -------------------------------------------- #!/bin/bash xscreensaver -------------------------------------------- Everytime the user logs in xscreensaver gets started. It is in manuals/howto's on the xscreensaver-homepage: http://www.jwz.org/xscreensaver xscreensaver is not controlled by the mandrake control center, but through xscreensaver-demo. Success, Ton
