Yesterday became two years being Linux-only on my laptop and desktop. I cannot say I even miss Windows at all. I've been on Linux (dual-boot and now single OS) for almost 4 years....wow, how time flies.

gnome-phone-manager will work inside of KDE but when you install it, it will require you to install a lot of gnome libs.

For clarification: The probable reason that it worked by logging into another account and then su heather is that a simple su does not import heather's environment (.bash_profile, .bashrc, maybe .mozilla, too) but su - heather will import.

Also, are both users (the one that it works with and the one that it doesn't) using the same theme/skin for Firefox? Maybe it is a firefox theme/firefox version conflict.

I downloaded this driver: ftp://www.uli.com.tw/driver/Linux_K2.6.x_Integrated132.zip and the readme.txt inside the ethernet directory mentions that you have to do some editing in some config files for the kernel, but it is not specific to kernel 2.6.8 and then recompile the kernel and the drivers.

I have a Compaq rechargable wireless mouse that rocks. Here's my section: Section "InputDevice" Identifier "Mouse1" Driver "mouse" Option "Protocol" "ExplorerPS/2" Option "Device" "/dev/mouse" Option "ZAxisMapping" "6 7" EndSection Mine has two extra buttons on the side for Back and Forward in your browser that even work. Now, I have no idea about the tilt-wheel thingy, but I am certain you don't need Option "Emulate3Buttons" Option "Emulate3Timeout" "50" and probably not: Option "EmulateWheel" Option "EmulateWheelButton" "2" Try commenting out those parts in one combination or another and restart X and see how it goes.

Can you copy and paste the output from the terminal exactly? (Just left click-drag to copy and middle click here to paste....or left-right click simultaneously if no middle button)

Very, very wise words from jboy

Open a console and type: which gaim and hit enter. It will tell you where it is.

That adapter should work with the eepro100 module with no problems.

For future reference, what probably would've solved the problem was probably not as complicated as you think: Boot to installation disk 1 and hit F1 at the prompt. Then type 'rescue' without the quotes. You should then get a menu, one option is 'Mount my partitions under /mnt'. Then choose 'Go to console' At the prompt, type chroot /mnt Then type vim /etc/fstab Hit 'i' to enter insert mode. Replace all your /dev/hdb<<whatevers>> with /dev/hda<<whatever>> Hit 'Esc' then type :wq and hit enter. Then: vim /etc/lilo.conf Hit 'i' to enter insert mode. Replace all your /dev/hdb<<whatevers>> with /dev/hda<<whatever>> Hit 'Esc' then type :wq and hit enter. Then: lilo -v Remove the disk and reboot. All should be well.

In ~/.bash_profile put something like this: TZ=America/New_York export TZ if the user is in the eastern time zone, regardless of what timezone the system has set. The 'America/New_York is the time zone as depicted relative to /usr/share/zoneinfo Example of timezones: < omar ~ > cd /usr/share/zoneinfo/ < omar /usr/share/zoneinfo > ls America/* America/Adak America/Dawson_Creek America/Los_Angeles America/Rankin_Inlet America/Anchorage America/Denver America/Louisville America/Recife America/Anguilla America/Detroit America/Maceio America/Regina America/Antigua America/Dominica America/Managua America/Rio_Branco America/Araguaina America/Edmonton America/Manaus America/Rosario

Yes, it would work, but it is much safer practice to use the symlink so that: (1) You always remember it is not the real cdrecord. (2) If you update cdrecord, you can see right away that your wrapper no longer is being used. It suddenly is no longer a symlink.

modprobe ircomm You may have to add ircomm to /etc/modprobe.preload to get your device seen in /dev after a reboot.

With 1.0.4, FF and X will eat up CPU on my computer with certain themes. And FF tends to use more CPU...much more....than it used to.

Try hitting F1 at the prompt and typing linux noapic and see if that solves the issue.

DiskDrake during the install will resize your NTFS partition no problem. There are kazillions of posts here about how to use DiskDrake to partition and what recommended sizes, but I can give a quick summary Click on Custom Disk Partitioning. Click on NTFS partition Click Resize Resize it down. If it says something like 'After resizing this partition, all data will be lost', click 'Cancel'...you probably didn't defrag well enough or the disk is just too full to not do a destructive resize. Click on the empty space left after resizing and choose to make a new partition. I strongly recommend 'Ext3' for the type. Select a mount point for that partition. Do the same for each partition you want to create. I very very strongly recommend a separate /home partition, so / /swap /home With a separate /home partition, you get to keep and not format it when you upgrade and so you get to keep all your personal settings for all your users' apps.

Heh. I actually think I got mine from a Cooker source and yes, thunderbird is also -3. You can try updating to it by temporarily adding a Cooker source to urpmi and then urpmi mozilla-thunderbird so it can install all the dependencies as well and afterwards removing your Cooker source. Cooker is not for the faint of heart and mixing Cooker and Official pkgs like I do can be disastrous, as a warning. If you run mozilla-thunderbird from a console, do you see any error messages in the console you run it from as it is launching?

This can actually be done on the root window with a cool tool now. It's resource-intensive done that way, so you actually want it to write more slowly. phosphor is the tool.

It's here. It's enabled in the default 2.6 kernel that ships with 10.1: CONFIG_CDROM_PKTCDVD=y http://www.linuxfromscratch.org/blfs/view/...a/udftools.html I've done it as an experiment and it worked fine. Ignore the part about patching the kernel. Install udftools with urpmi if you have a contrib source set up and follow those instructions.

Tymestream: I answered in your topic. :P

Maybe this helps you to understand it better: http://aplawrence.com/Bofcusm/834.html It is not so much the fact that Linux filesystems fragment less (even though they try not to....but fragmentation is gonna happen, no matter what, as the disk gets closer to being full), it is the fact that fragmentation on Linux has much less of an impact (read 'virtually none'), because of the multitasking that Linux does. The link explains it better.
