  1. Yeah, that's what I did, but It's not working. You use kmail?
  2. I just recently converted to kmail from tbird. I realize now that at the time I was using Opera, and if there was a url in a kmail post, it would open in Opera (assuming I had chosen "opera" in component chooser, web browser. I was having some problems with Opera and decided to go back to firefox for a bit, so I chose "firefox" in the component chooser, web browser, clicked on the url in kmail: something flashes very quickly (it's a copyfile copying a file into /var/tmp ) and then firefox starts and asks me if I would like to open this php script in /var/tmp/kdecache-kristi with kate. (kate shows nothing in the file. I remember that to get thunderbird to open url's in firefox I had to do a mod Okay so I added /usr/bin/mozffremote to the menu and selected it with the component chooser, but the same thing happened. Anyone know how to open a url from a post in kmail (a topic subscription reply notification) , in firefox? tia!!! Kristi
  3. Well, I've had some time to read this stuff and I think I know less than I did before, but: the 2 choices I have are HP and HPIJS. It is not clear that HP =>HPLIP I would need to ask someone like Adam exactly what module is included in Mandriva.
  4. (I like your avatar!) Is that the same thing as the email I get with kmail from /var/spool/kristi every night? I guess guarddog isn't blocking it, because guarddog blocks everything unless you expressly allow it... . So I'm not understanding the function of having shorewall expressly allow it? Why bother since - oh, maybe it's just a reminder NOT to block it...?
  5. I was under the impression that many things printed using ghostscript and therefore I would be betteroff with the ijs one. Right now I'm using a draft version of the plain (yeah, I assume that's the "lid" one). Damn that's fast! dunno!!!!! As far as printers and Linux goes I should be tickled pink if it performs this well, so I guess I'm tickled pink :D Can't get it to print the footers on a web page in opera, though. Ahhhhhhh n- firefox outputs to postscript, Opera doesn't kwrite does great with headers and footers. Before I posted that question I googled and found "ijs" and "lid" but no where did it tell me which to use. Guess I'll call HP! Thanks all!!! Kristi
  6. My Canon i850 died, so i got a HP Deskjet 5740. When installing it with 2005A , Config your Desktop, peripherals, printer, it offers me a "5740" and a "5740 ijs". What's the difference and which one should I use? (I did a test page for each and they look identically great) tia!!! Kristi
  7. I don't have the working knowledge or experience, an awful lot of this sounds absolutely right. ceptin I'm gonna stay pretty current with Mandriva - club release - Kristi
  8. I noticed in the 2005A (KDE3.4)(club release) that shorewall is activated and mail server is checked. I unchecked it, but wondered about the consequences - what have i missed (I use guarddog) and leave security at high. Kristi
  9. One of the most important things is having a users group to support you. With Mandriva, I can easily say you've got 2 great groups - MUB (this one) and the club. Kristi
  10. I don't have an answer for you, but How much ram do you have? (add more) How long since you last booted?(schedule a reboot more often) google for "105 no buffer space available" You'll get tons! Hope that helps a little! Kristi
  11. EDIT - this is wrong. see 2 posts down I know, I was frustrated with that, too, but I believe it is gone with that and following levels of KDE. In fact, if you want a root session (not just a root console or running something as root) you will have to log into it there. In 3.4 there's no more "start a new (root) session"! Actually I find I don't need it - the bad exception being turboprint which has to be running in a root session before it will tell you the remaining ink level on your printer. I believe that's where HP shines - great Linux driver support. Canon has none! Kristi
  12. John, that is a phenominal picture!!!!!!!!!!!!! Kristi
  13. Uh, what kind of video chip/card do you have on that machine? After an install, it will always boot to a command line prompt, level 3. Log in as root and then do kde. On an install, if you don't know, take the defaults - that is, it will come up with something already chosen - just whail away on the enter key. You can usually figure out the details later - that will at least give you a useable gui. Hope that helps! Kristi
  14. what do you mean "over"? in addition to? on top of? also, try it with 2005 or 2005A. hth Kristi
  15. I started with Xandros and after a few months moved to Mandrake/Mandriva 10.1, 10.2/2005-2005A If I had known just a teensy bit more, mandriva would have been a good starter. Kristi/Kristi1
  16. GF4 are the older generation. Of course NVidia really muddle the waters with the GeForce4 naming: a GF4 MX is really a form of GF2 and was a budget card even when it was brand new. The Ti ("Titanium") series was the top of the line about 2 years ago and still holds its own quite well for most current games, although under Windows it doesn't suport some of the features of DirectX 9 and may not play some of the brand new games that require some of DirectX 9 features like v1.4 pixel shaders. ((Battle Field 2 comes to mind). The "FX" series of NVidia cards was the first to support shaders 1.4 <{POST_SNAPBACK}> I'm not a gamer but I use a XFX GeF4Ti4200 and play NWN occasionally Kristi
  17. write to the kmail people and see if it's possible - I looked all through kmail and kontact, but I don't think it's there. but kmail uses spamassassin and it nailed one spoof "from" ebay for me yesterday - made me a believer. Kristi
  18. Great! :D Thanks!!! Kristi
  19. Thanks, that did the trick just fine, though I chocked my system on the first try. Then I changed "tmp" to "work2" a 30gb partition, but it still nearly choked - it interprets ${DVD:=~/mkrhdvd} as /root/mkrhdvd and pours a couple of gig in there - just barely made it by. But now I know what to change for the next try!!!!!! And the DVD worked like a champ. Not so sure about 2005A yet - kate seems to go missing from KDE now and then. - but then, what do you want for a glorified beta!!! and surprised it was out this early. Thanks again!!! Kristi
  20. Thanks, I appreciate that! I grabbed 2005A (KDE3.4 just to be current - I'm playing with that now,.[[ okay, just located the 2 Sarge DVDs. Maybe tomorrow, cause I can do that w/o disrupting my mdv build. Thanks!! Kristi
  21. John you made my day!!!!! I exported my ff bookmarks Imported them directly into konqueror, and then found that if I called them netscape bookmarks I could import them directly to opera. POOF!!!!!!!! Fantastic!!! Thanks!!!!!! :D Kristi
  22. Thanks - I will look for it. It's on a 20gb partition so hopefully that will be enough. Kristi
