but like shooting at the moon. or filling a wicker basket with water. but then again, you could shoot at the moon from an orbiting space station or do something to the basket so it wouldnt leak. :grin: ciao!

thats an error in the code. easiest way is to find an rpm if you dont want the rpm that comes with the distro ( i think there is one included anyway). ciao! [edit] what do you know, a simple search did the trick. ;) http://rpmfind.net/linux/rpm2html/search.p...=mandrake&arch=

ddd is a debugger. i am not sure but i remember it being a graphical front-end to gdb which is the commandline debugger. gcc -g just inserts debugging flags to the compiled code. think of this flags as 'hooks' that the debugger tries to hang on to when you want to stop a process on a specific line and browse its current status. ciao!

hahaha, nice to feel so welcomed. :grin: ciao!

hey omar, you might want want to copy the whole content on the linked post as that would be a little useless when the club-nihil barfs on the 18th of January. :smile: ciao!

hey scape, nice new look. mind if i rip it off? ok, that was another pathetic attempt to create a joke. never had the artistic inclinations anyway to create a webpage. :smile: nice to see that mdkxperience is back on line (even on a temporary URL). ciao!

well you didnt say in your posts so it needed to be cleared up. you have tried disabling the DMA from the BIOS but have you tried passing the nodma param to the the installation? ...wait, i think that was for booting problems. i guess that cookie isnt mine after all. :grin: ciao!

not much help but i have to start with the mandatory 'have you checked the md5sum of your iso (assuming you downloaded it)?' remark. :smile: ciao!

this might be your problem. wine is a commandline app. you need to pass it some parameters (usually the path to the windows program you are trying to launch). ciao!

http://mandrakeusers.org/viewtopic.php?t=1814 im assuming you have not yet encountered the link above. i switched jobs and have not touched my linux system for about 2 months now (the boards and the local LUG mailing lists are my only links to linux till i get home around march ). ciao!

yeah i tried it when i was using mozilla in linux but comparing it to opera's mouse gestures is like comparing windows to linux. :P ciao!

try issuing the command 'which wine' on a terminal and see if its on your path. if it is not then make sure it is added or it has the necessary execute permission set. ciao!

mouse gestures. hold right-click on a link, motion down then up and the link is opened in another tab in the background. but that not everything, you could navigate backward and forward, duplicate the current window content, create a new blank window, minimize/restore/maximize or close a window using only mouse gestures. sheesh, im getting opera withdrawal sickness. ciao!

that version is too old by wine standard. best bet is to to use the daily cvs rpm from wine.dataparty.no or even the src.rpm. though i have to admit that doing a cvs build will compile faster. :) ciao!

those are windows libraries. have you made your own wine.conf file yet? ciao!

sorry but didnt read the whole thread (not much time). im assuming you are logging straight through runlevel 5 (kdm/gdm)? then your .bash_profile wont be read during bootup. just want to toss that thing in as it has been covered a few boards ago. :grin: ciao!

if you are going to go from scratch then it would better to partition only the space to be used by windows, install it, and leave the rest to mandrake to detect and partition the rest of the space on its own. and linux can live anywhere in the harddrive that you want it to live in. its not a spoiled brat. ;-) ciao!

oh, so aru's post is what you want. what i meant in my post was adding init=3 in the append line in your lilo.cof so that it goes into run level 3 (which means you get a text login prompt after booting insted of a window manager which is runlevel 5). ciao!

xosl is the multiple bootloader isnt it? i remember reading a link to a story wherein one guy installed around 30+ operating systems in one pc using that. the number is from the top of my head but the link was to a tech news site. you could try passing init=3 to the append option of the lilo stanza. :) but what do you exactly mean by a text-only boot? aru said something thats new to me so im curious. :grin: ciao!

install X11R6-contrib. its the only one returned by rpmfind.net when the Mandrake is specified in the system textbox. besides the other option in your list would be the one in the japanese manpages. :grin: ciao!

use urpmf to find the package containing xmessage (if its not libwine) or use rpmfind.net (which is unaccessible at the moment from where i am). *i read somewhere that urpmf also uses rpmfind.net or something but im not sure and i dont have a linux system to test on. ciao!

i am looking at http://www.mandrakeclub.com/ and found nothing about 'times of miracle'. i have searched for the word miracle but got only this hit -> http://www.mandrakeclub.com/article.php?sid=4 . the only thing i see updated for 12/19 is the club link at the top left corner box of the page. thats why im asking for a link if there is one available. :smile: and the value of $0.20 depends on where you are. :smile: ciao!

how about sylpheed? its not outlookish but should be easy enough to figure out for a newbie. its light enough to go with the minimalist theme. :smile: ciao!

that would work. it wont be hidden because its first character is not a period. changes to the file structure contained in it will also reflect on the ~/.wine directory since they point to the same thing. ciao!

probably it doesnt have the execute permission bits set. right click on it and go to the properties or something and make sure that its execution bits are checked... or go to a terminal,change to the directory containing the script and issue $ chmod +x {script_name} . ciao!
