AussieJohn Posted February 10, 2007 Report Share Posted February 10, 2007 (edited) I am not positive on this but it may be worth a try. Open Konqueror and click on View at the top and in its menu click on Show Hidden Files. Make sure that you have opened your account and you should see...... .kde click on it and you will see Autostart click on it and if you see something for Amarok or any other Programs you do not want to be started automatically then just delete them. Do not worry, it will not effect the programs themselves. Cheers. John. Edited February 10, 2007 by AussieJohn Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mhn Posted February 10, 2007 Report Share Posted February 10, 2007 The default in kde is that on a restart it starts the programs that were open last logout. This can be changed in the KDE Control Center (or by running 'kcmshell kcmsmserver' from a terminal). Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Greg2 Posted February 11, 2007 Report Share Posted February 11, 2007 I am not able to open websites lie streambox.tv.. they use microsoft windows media player plugin.. is there any alternative? If you have not already done so... use the easy-urpmi that is linked at the top of this page and add the plf repositories. Open your gui software installer or use the terminal with urpmi and install: mplayer1.0-1.pre8.13plf2007.0 win32-codecs-1.8-1plf2007.0 real-codecs-1.2.3plf mplayerplugin-3.25-2mdv2007.0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kieth Posted February 11, 2007 Report Share Posted February 11, 2007 You'll have to go to http://rpm.pbone.net/ to download some of them. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mhn Posted February 11, 2007 Report Share Posted February 11, 2007 You'll have to go to http://rpm.pbone.net/ to download some of them.No. I have installed them via urpmi. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kieth Posted February 11, 2007 Report Share Posted February 11, 2007 I keep my urpmi data base up to date, but when I tried to download the files, I got this message. # urpmi real-codecs-1.2.3plf no package named real-codecs-1.2.3plf I guess I need to find another download site. Mine are: ftp://ftp.mandrivauser.cz/plf/mandriva/20...e/binary/x86_64 ftp://ftp.easynet.fr/plf/mandriva/2007.0/...s/binary/x86_64 ftp://ftp.cica.es/mirrors/Linux/plf/mandr...e/binary/x86_64 ftp://spirit.bentel.sk/mirrors/plf/mandri...s/binary/x86_64 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mhn Posted February 11, 2007 Report Share Posted February 11, 2007 # urpmi real-codecs-1.2.3plfno package named real-codecs-1.2.3plf What if you just write: # urpmi real-codecs Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kieth Posted February 11, 2007 Report Share Posted February 11, 2007 (edited) I tried it before, but anyway, here's what happened. But like I mentioned before, I did download them, I just had to go to http://rpm.pbone.net/. They must not be in the x86_64 repositories. # urpmi real-codecs no package named real-codecs Edited February 11, 2007 by Kieth Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
