Ok, after the force of groff-for-man, Man pages are back! Thanks for the help. Robert
-
when I try to do this (cl, or Gnome Control center gui), the capplet for advanced/applications/default seems to be missing - error message missing "that app doesnt exist" type of message. How do I get that back? Robert
-
forgot to add the last part: 'ls -l /usr/bin/tbl' gets this: ls: /usr/bin/tbl: No such file or directory so that's what's missing. what package is 'tbl'?
-
did the rpm update but got this: Preparing... ########################################### [100%] package groff-for-man-1.18.1-5mdk is already installed then did a 'man urpmi' and got this: [root@localhost robert]# man urpmi sh: line 1: /usr/bin/gtbl: No such file or directory then did the 'ls -l /usr/bin/gtbl' and got this: lrwxrwxrwx 1 root root 3 May 10 03:28 /usr/bin/gtbl -> tbl and the 'usr/bin/gtb -> tbl is blocked in red and flashing. First time I've ever seen that. so everything seems to be there, yet no man pages.
-
Well, I rpm -e'd man, man-pages, groff, (and got a dependency conflict for mignight commander, so off it went as well). Then I reinstalled everything again, only to get an error /ust/bin/gtbl does not exist. I'm stumped. Any other options? I'm about to take this to mandrakeexpert and see what they have to say. Robert

well, seems that the man.conf should be man.config, which works. $ which man /usr/bin/man cat /etc/man.config--lot of stuff, but doing a simple man urpmi give me: sh: line 1: /usr/bin/gtbl: No such file or directory here is cat /etc.man.config. Any clues from this???? Generated automatically from man.conf.in by the # configure script. # # man.conf from man-1.5k # # For more information about this file, see the man pages man(1) # and man.conf(5). # # This file is read by man to configure the default manpath (also used # when MANPATH contains an empty substring), to find out where the cat # pages corresponding to given man pages should be stored, # and to map each PATH element to a manpath element. # It may also record the pathname of the man binary.

here's what I get with the rpm -qa | grep man: mandrake_desk-9.1-4mdk mandrake-galaxy-9.1-21mdk man-1.5k-8.1mdk mandrake_doc-en-9.1-2mdk mandrake-mime-0.3-1mdk man-pages-1.54-3mdk groff-for-man-1.18.1-5mdk mandrake-release-9.1-1mdk However, looking for man.conf: cat /etc/man.conf comes up with this: cat: /etc/man.conf: No such file or directory what's up with that? robert

For some strange reason, every time I try to get a man page, I get a blank screen. I know they were installed. How can I get them back (or put them in if they weren't installed)? Thanks, Robert
-
Thanks for the reply. I hadnt gotten a chance to come back and post my solution, which also works just as well: Just right-click on the desktop, create link to applicaton, and in the execute section type: /usr/bin/apm -s, put a funky icon on it and now all I do is click on it from the desktop. I'll check out the menu thing though, havent done that before. Robert

just for reference, I am using a Latitude CPiA PII 366, and I have gotten the suspend to work by disabling APCI, and using APM. I configured the Kernel using the KControl/System/Kernel applet, and setting the power control section in PowerControl/laptop battery to powered -suspend. In the MCC/Boot section, APCI is still checked, but doesnt matter since I took out the APCI modules in the kernel--my guess anyway. It seems to work great, with no hangs on resume. Works by either shutting the lid or waiting the required time I set up in Kcontrol If anyone needs to see the system specifics, give me the commands and I'll post the output. One question though -- how do I force a suspend by using a keyboard key combination? Cant seem to find this anywhere.... Robert
-
I finally got my 9.1 system to actually go into suspend, but only by setting the time settings in KDE Control Center. How can I find out the key combination, or create a key binding, to set the machine into suspend mode without waiting for the time set in Kcontrol? thanks, robert

when I do the rpm -q, I get: j2re-1.4.1_01-2mdk I guess my previous attempt at rpm -qa java that returned nothing was because I queried for the wrong thing... R
-
Well, how about this....I upgraded via mandrake update to 1.3.1, and have the java plugin symlink in both plugin directories, however, and rpm -qa java returns no pacages! I must say that I didnt have a problem with flash since the upgrade--worked before and after the upgrade without a problem. THis install is the boxed powerpack version. Are the problems on downloaded version installs? robert
-
FWIW, I (and many others, so it seems) have problems in my WIN partitions using Konqi as well. I think its well known. I can CL to and from all the partitions, copy, move, delete, etc, but Konq does hang. There was a support ticket about this, but the FSTAB fixes in the ticket that worked were already implemented in my FSTAB file. I'm going to make a new ticket and see what comes of it. R
-
Thanks! I didnt even realize that was a drop-down box. Guess I should pay more attention next time! R
-
I have been getting a groovy tune playing during KDE "loading desktop" stage. I cannot seem to find where in KDE Control Center where to turn that off. I also get an annoying 'dong' when I log out that I'd also like to turn off. Thanks R
-
Excellent!! Thanks for the script. I jsut put a link to it on my desktop, and am changing my cursors at will. Robert

Is it possible to convert from Ext3 to Reiser without completely reinstalling? If so, which tool?
-
So I just read the whole bad install thread, wondering if I should just leave well enough alone for now. Will I gain any performance besides the journaling? Or is that likely to slow things down as logs are written?
-
I just installed 9.1 on my PII 366 machine with 256m on a 7GB partition (dual boot with win98). I chose ext3 this time, but was wondering if there was a better option for my hardware config? I had ext2 before (8.0, 9.0), but just read somewhere that ext3 was slow. any opinions welcomed!
-
with a new 9.1 install for a Xircom Lan/Modem card that was a breeze to get up in every other version. 9.1 installer never got to the modem and only ever got the Lan part. I finally saw that harddrake kept pointing to tty/S0 or something, but it should have been tty/S3. maybe this is the problem? By the way, I had to install from scratch 2 (!) times before even PPPd was intalled. Very VERY unusual from all my other intall experiences.... R
-
In 9.0, the USB hub was not recoginzed because it wasnt attached during install, so my mouse wouldn't work until I plugged it directly into the machine'es hub. Just finished installing 9.1 today, and even my memory key is there! Yee haw! I really hate having to have everything attached during install or nothing ever gets detected... good luck R
-
with no problems whatever. My Xircom modem/lan card, however is a different story! I also have a 4-port usb hub attached with a usb mouse on that and it works great, during install and after. Robert

Whenever I try to pipe (>) the output of a man page to a text file, I always get a bunch of crap as the output--a letter, a box, a letter, another symbol, etc. I dont think I have a problem when I use the (>) on system commands like ls, rpm, etc. Is there a way to get the output of man files readable? also, how do I clear the terminal after issuing a man command? the only way I can get to the cl again is to open another terminal. thanks, Robert

I pasted this over the existing section: Section "ServerLayout" Identifier "layout1" InputDevice "Keyboard1" "CoreKeyboard" InputDevice "Touchpad" "CorePointer" InputDevice "Mouse1" "SendCoreEvents" Screen "screen1" EndSection rebooted the x-server only to have it break--something about a line 116 error when I typed startx. Copied the good file over the changed one and KDE is now back to working. Any Ideas? Robert
