Hi, I've had a netscape mail account for about 7 years now and since they started their "you need to use your mail at least once every 30 days" policy I've been having problems with sending mail. Sometimes it works, sometimes it doesn't and "... can not send mail ... please try again later ... (reference #110)" pops up. Does anyone know why??? Jeroen PS Is there a good, stable and free mail alternative? (except for hotmail)

thanks. seems I have to use mv instead of rename. after searching for yet another while I found this post http://dbforums.com/arch/144/2003/10/941250 I think this will solve (part of) my problem. Once I figure it out that is.

Hi, I've got directories with images and they are called like this: photo 001.jpg photo 002.jpg the problem lies in the spaces in the names. Does anyone know how I can rename them so the space in the name gets dumped? Or how I can fit that problem into this piece of pretty script: #!/bin/sh # # $Id: iRename,v 1.1 2001/11/20 03:11:28 vijoy Exp vijoy $ # # Cleanup and create input inputfile=`ls *.jpg *.JPG` # aanpassing vanwege domme spaties in namen # helaas werkt ze nog niet # inputfile=`ls *` for imgname in $inputfile do if [ ! -f $imgname ]; then echo $imgname" not found." break fi # Extracting image information info=`head $imgname| strings| grep 200 | grep :` newname=`echo $info|cut -d ' ' -f 1`"++"`echo $info|cut -d ' ' -f 2` newname=`echo $newname|sed s/:/-/g` # Uncomment for lost time-date information # newname=2001-11-04++00-00-`echo $imgname|cut -d '.' -f 1|cut -d '0' -f 2-` # Rename only if valid newname if [ "X$newname" != "X++" ]; then mv -i $imgname $newname fi done rm -rf .input

OK. I could change the IPs to a fixed adress, connect the cable and ping. yeay!! and there it ended. I had to install a ftp server or sshd for which I needed internet to get the packages. re-configuring the 9.2 PC failed over and over so I deceided to drop the 9.2, install 9.1 which should work. not. :? bloody crappy eth0 card. I think it's broken due to the passed heat wave. that's when it started acting weird.

hmmm, I don't think so. I get dynamic IP after logging into the university-network and I have only 1 network connection so I have to switch the network cable to get to a LAN. but part of it I can use: the sftp stuff. although that's overkill for a crossed cable connection. couldn't I just type in IP8.0 in konq and drag-n-drop? I'll just try it.

Hi, I'v got two PCs, one running Mdk 9.2cooker and the other one Mdk 8.0. Now I want to backup the 8.0 PC. I have no CD-writer, just two PCs with working eth0-cards. This is the question: 1) how do I connect them together? I have a cross cable but which settings do I need? In this topic (http://mandrakeusers.org/viewtopic.php?t=2805&highlight=transfer+data) it is suggested to make the same subnet (huh?) and two IP-adresses (fixed ones). I think I might be able to do this but if I can do so ... 2) ... then what? How do I get to see the HD from PC1 on PC2? Can I just drag&drop in konqueror? anyone any ideas? thanks JEroen

Hi, being tired of re-installing Mdk every half a year I've just kept my installs (a Mdk 8.2, an 8.1 and a 9.0) recently and not upgraded anymore. Since I now couldn't install OOo on the oldest one I deceided to try the apt-get distro: Debian, for it's easy easy dist-upgrade. Being a sissy I ended up with the DL version of Libranet. Install 1: problems with disk partitioning Solution 1: install Mdk 9.2b2 and partition there. Try 2: yeay, it works. not. doesn't boot. Try 3: try again but make boot floppy. boots from floppy. doesn't recognise LAN-card. Solution 2: install Mdk 9.2b2 and look for info on card. doesn't work either but makes me remember I can suggest some numbers. Solution 3: grab other PC (the oldie) and google. Try 4: try to figure out how to give the numbers to Libranet. break my azerty-keyboard in the meantime. Try 5: re-install to look at the keyboard issue. seems like Xadminmenu breaks it. it works during install. google for the settings. all correct. search libranet forum. nope. Solution 4: Install Mdk 9.2b2 for the 3rd or 4th time and just keep it. now I'm trying to update it untill 9.2 final arrives and then I'll switch to security updates again.

aru, I was just looking for a way to upgrade my 9.2b2 to 9.2rc1! great (we'll see that tomorrow) greetz Jeroen

thanks. I knew it was simple. But that it was that simple ;-) (I knew I had to do something with the "output to a file" but not how) thanks Jeroen

Hi, I've got a directory with a lot of files. How can I make a text file with the names of the content of that directory? (It's easy but I forgot it) Thanks Jeroen

it's good they now have a clear policy.

is the London Bridge falling?

what can you really see in such a screenshot? a new KDE and some icons. nothing which looks different from a thousand other distros.

scp is fine because it's for getting mailattachments at the far-away-PC to the here-PC to read them so there are no different versions. but thanks anyway.

thanks guys and girls. it worked perfectly after logging out from the ssh session. running two terminals helps in this case ;-) thanks

Control Center-->Look & Feel-->Fonts is the only thing I found on the web and I don't have a Kylix here for the moment.

as you found out there is probably a problem with your installed fonts. sorry, no idea. can you read them with acroread?

never use telnet if you want security. it sends all info, including root password, plain over the web. ssh can do the same on a secure way.

perhaps next the question: tightVNC

Hmm in that case my intelligence is as low as your post was short. ;-) first I ssh to the box, give the password to get in. ls to find the file scp and now what? scp filename ip-adresOfTheBoxImAt:filename ??? doesn't work.

hmmm nice to know I can't install Mdk on my new PC. will wait for Mdk9.1. not. WinXP running now. (don't like it but it works)

doesn't ftp need one of the 2 PCs to be a file server or something like that?

Hi I have this problem: my girlfriend checks her mail through ssh on a Mandrake PC. She uses mutt for this. So attachments can't be seen through the ssh. How can I get her to transfer the attachments onto the PC where she is sitting (Mandrake as well)? thanks Jeroen
