  1. Is Linus starting something...?

    in Everything Linux

    Posted

    honestly it would be nice if they pooled resources and made 1 kick but work environment. It really sucks that the xp environment is quicker, and slicker then KDE AND Gnome...

     

    And really I hear all the arguments about wich one is better... they are almost exactly the same (i prefer kde) but both of them have SLOW filemanagers

     

    Anyways thats my rant about loving linux, but not having a single DE that I like...

  2. Mounting with NCPMOUNT problems

    in Networking

    Posted

    Hi,

     

    I mount novell drives from my mandriva 2006 server with the ncpmount program. This used to work fine in 2005 but after i formatted and upgrade I get errors. Heres what happens:

     

    I mount, everything works fine. 2 minutes later if I ls in the mounted directory I get a input/ouput error. I look in my /var/log/kernel directory under error I get:

     

    ibm_acpi: ec object not found (dont know if this has anything to do with it... i switched to an ibm comp though)

     

    ncpfs: Connection Invalid!

     

     

    Oddly enough it works for a few mins.. then it drops... Any ideas?

  4. Mandriva Linux Install Tutorial

    thanks for the tips!

     

    I sort of downgraded the audio to keep the size as small as possible, as it is 2.8 megs is a lot... some of the audio i couldnt downgrade so it sounds a bit better....

     

    bios screenshots i should fix... they were just shots I got off the net, maybe Ill just write over them...

     

    /home partition? yeah... was a little hard to explain, i guess if a newbie is doin it, it really wont matter anyway?

     

    swap, yeah I should probably put in the formula to... swap is kinda important

     

    how did I make it? Flash w/ wine. Some stuff I quickly did with Swish (in windows, the beast). Any good swf maker for Linux?

     

    Thanks a lot for your encouragement!

  7. Server Software for Webpages

    in Software

    Posted

    Hi, I run a school Webpage.

     

    We use a lot of software to help the teachers post lessons, we run invision powerboard and wordpress...

     

    Some teachers would like to save their web pages out of front page... would you install Front Page extensions or just an FTP server? Whats easier from the user perspective? Is there anything else out there that would be better solution?

     

    Thanks

  10. CRT Out on my thinkpad [solved]

    in Laptops and Portable Devices

    Posted

    I have a IBM T42 laptop and it works pretty good with Mandriva. I just installed 2006 on it plus the thinkpad modules from urpmi and I have a couple problems with my CRT (connecting my laptop to a projector/monitor).

     

    1. When I reboot X the signal goes to the projector fine, but it is in a different resolution,if I move my mouse to the bottom of the screen the whole screen moves... I guess the way to describe this is that the desktop isnt scaled to fit my screen anymore... is there a way to fix this?

     

    2. This is the real problem... When I am watching a movie on my laptop in kaffiene the movie doesn't show up on the projector. I see my desktop, I see kaffiene, but the actuall movie is black... I really need to fix this cause I show movies all the time....

     

    Interestingly enough I had 2005 on this laptop and experienced none of these problems... anyone know how to fix this?

     

    Thanks for your time

  15. Adding different routes on server with a static ip

    in Networking

    Posted

    Im switching an old server from redhat 7 or so to mandriva 2005...

    Its funny how faster Mdk 2005 is on the same box!

     

    Anyway I have a quick question... my server is set up as a static ip, and i have 3 routes to enter (each with a different subnet and gateway) the MCC doesnt let me do this? is there an alternate method? i dont know the text way because the old red hat server just had it under "network settings"

  17. Nautilus/Konqueror slow compared to Explorer

    in Software

    Posted · Edited by hanes

    I have a alaptop that dual boots (I keep the windows partition around but barely ever use it...). I use it at work and I hook into a novell directory. Im a teacher and a directory I often use is called "STUDENTS", iin it there are 1500 other directories, these are the students personal files. If i look in this directory with konqueror, konqueror crashes. If I look in it with Nautilus (under gnome) nautilus is slow... and eventually crashes. If I look in it with Windows Explorer, it works suprisingly fast.

     

    I'm not complaining, or even saying windows is better (I would hate to work in windows, but at work i dont seem to have a lot of choice.. i work in this directory everyday). But I would like to ask, if anyone else has noticed stuff like this? On all my linux computers (i have a few) I cannot seem to find a file manager that comes even close to windows explorer....

     

    Any comments/solutions?

     

    PS please dont say just do an ls under command line (which by the way command line works fine in this directory)

  18. Printer Sharing [solved]

  19. Printer Sharing [solved]

    in Networking

    Posted · Edited by hanes

    the printer is on a mandriva 2005 server that i set up pretty much following the how-to i linked to off this site. The client is also mandriva 2005.'

     

     

    Also I went to localhost:631, couldnt find anything about sharing there......but it was neat to know that it existed....

     

     

     

    When I typed the smbclient info (on the server) I got this output... I am trying to share the BROTHER1430, the workgroup is supposed to be MDKGROUP (I think the other one was made by a windows partition isnt active anymore.)

  20. Printer Sharing [solved]

    in Networking

    Posted · Edited by hanes

    I am running samba on my network.... I followed the howto on installing samba and it worked great! (https://mandrivausers.org/index.php?showtopic=16737&hl=samba).

     

    But I want to share the printer attached to this server. When I set up samba file sharing I clicked on "share all my printers", but then when I go to the client and under mcc -> hardware -> add printer and click on search network for printers it tells me there are no printers on my network.

     

    Any advice would be great as I am a little lost.

     

     

    Thanks in advance!

  21. Firefox

    in Software

    Posted

    you know what really annoys me about the urpmi one, it uses the gnome file box, the one i download from the net uses the kde file/save box... Any idea how this works? Does mandriva change something in the script or something?

  22. Firefox

    in Software

    Posted

    Hello, I have a new version of Firefox (1.06) and and old version on my system (the one that came default through urpmi)... On the new version I can't watch any movies but on the old one I can (I guess this is because urpmi is putting the plugins somewhere and the new firefox doesnt know about it......)

     

    How do I fix this? Is there some kind of file I can edit to add a plugin?

     

    Thanks in advance
