I am currently using Kontact [my problem is not a browser problem; i use firefox] however, I still need two of the emails in netscape mail. When I click on that particular inbox, I get the error "Connection to X server lost"

SOLVED I'm sure i never selected 'cable modem' so didn't try that, but disabling 'hot network plugging' did the trick... thanks to both of you.

I've always noticed it, but never done anything about it because my network works fine, but when booting into mandrake 10.1, it says eth0 failed. -ifconfig says i have an ip address and all is grand. -web connection seems to work fine (less the fact that KWeather has never worked -- any ideas on that?) -i can ifdown and ifup successfully. my network card is an on the mainboard of an SIS: currently using sis drivers etc. I'm connected to an external router that is configured correctly and works great with all computers connected to it. I haven't found anyone with an issue similar. Is this common? Might this explain why Kweather always gives me the error "The requested station does not exist."???

I guess that's a no? Nobody have netscape mail problems like this? I've posted on a couple netscape boards, but it doesn't look like my problem is one anyone has had before.

Does anyone use netscape 7.2 mail? I have a strange problem. I have 3 email accounts set up in netscape mail. I've been using it for 1 week now (in mandrake 10.1 -- have been using it in windows for ages). When I click on inbox on the 3rd account X goes crazy and shuts down. The error: Caught signal 11. Server aborting. xinit: connection to X server lost It only happens when i click inbox on that particular account. I renamed the inbox files in $home/.mozilla etc... so it has since created new inbox files, but now my renamed "inboxCRAP" does the same thing. Corrupt inbox files?? I have 2 important emails I'd like to retrieve from my old inbox files. Anyone know how to fix them??? Any help would be greatly appreciated!

Don't you mean .bash_profile? (i know this is like 6 months after the fact, but was just experiencing the same thing and didn't want to mess anything up)

Thanks for the suggestions! problem solved. got 'er installed and am listening to the 'ol col lection now. java script:emoticon('') thanks again, jeremy Marked the thread Solved - Artificial Intelligence

excuse my newbieness in advance. Yesterday I installed mandrake 10.1 and am now trying to install xmms to no avail. I'd like to know if my error is with xmms or if it's a compiler problem. I was getting some compiler errors and needed to install gcc and gcc-c++ packages (and their dependencies -- used urpmi) NOW I'm getting this: checking for glib-config... no checking for GLIB - version >= 1.2.2... no *** The glib-config script installed by GLIB could not be found *** If GLIB was installed in PREFIX, make sure PREFIX/bin is in *** your path, or set the GLIB_CONFIG environment variable to the *** full path to glib-config. configure: error: *** GLIB >= 1.2.2 not installed - please install first *** i do not have a file on my computer called glib_config (using find) and "urpmi glib" says 'already installed' --- do i have to install an older package to get xmms to install? Am I going to have this problem with other installations? Will installing an older version of glib do funky stuff to my computer? Thank you.

I got everything to work -- ditched the USB drive by installing off of a HD partition. For anyone who may have gotten the BIOS EDD kernel panick, disable anything with power management in the bios.

I should clarify. Here is the exact boot sequence that gets funky: BIOS EDD facility v0.16 2004-jun-25, 1 Devices found init init/main.c: 726 Kernel Panic: VFS : ---- And then the unable to mount error. I'm going to simply start playing w/ the bios, but any ideas would be helpful. Thanks again.

I'm currently making the move from win2k to mandrake. My cd-rom drive went crazy and I have a usb cd drive connected at the moment (in lieu of any ide stuff i wish i had laying around right now). My CD Drive is not bootable as it is USB -- Only floppy USB drives are cool by my bios. I have created the boot disk and when booting it goes through the identification of most of the hardware, but around the first partition check i hit an error that says "unable to mount root fs on unknown-block(1,3)" I'd gladly partition everything now and format into ext2 and make a blind leap, but shouldn't the cds take me through all that? I seem to remember the redhat installation doing so years ago. What difference does the HD make when booting from the boot disk? Isn't it just a mini-linux? And when I pass this point am I going to have huge problems with the usb drive? it's a TDK 40/12/48x Thanks, Jeremy

This guy had an interesting suggestion for this issue: mess with your bios settings. Here is the link: http://www.linuxquestions.org/questions/ar.../2001/12/2/9631
