Hi

 

I wasnt totaly sure where to ask this, under which section, i hope i didnt go under wrong section ;)

And im sorry if there is already topic about "top", search doesnt allow to type only 3 letters :/

 

So my question is how to configure top so that users sees only thiers processes and not from entire system

 

I have shell on freebsd and when i type top i see only my processes.

But on my server (slackware 10.1 2.4.29) i see processes for all users...

I have done a search, but I can't find what I want. I want to install thunderbird on FC4 and I have downloaded the linux version from:

 

[/url][url=http://www.mozilla.com/products/download.h...ux%E2%8C%A9=en-US]http://www.mozilla.com/products/download.h...ux〈=en-US

 

I can't find a rpm for this and have to install the .tar.gz version.

 

The normal way that I go about to install a program is:

 

* cd /home/mizzy

* tar -xvzf thunderbird-1.5.0.2.tar.gz

* cd thunderbird

* ./configure && make && checkinstall

 

But the ./configure step doesn't work because I don't think that there is a configure file in there o_O

 

I have a shared folder on my desktop (which is on windows) that i want to view on here. It has been done previously on this laptop when it was running windows and it ran successfully.

 

On here I have gone to network > windows network > and that is blank o_O

 

So then I have go to Connect to server > entered the service type as windows share desktop ip which was 192.168.0.3 and I put the shared file name. This did find it and make a connection, but the folder appears as empty on here. It contains a few images in it and it shows up on my desktop.

 

Any idea's why its hiding the images? well everything o_O

I've downloaded gnome-commander-1.1.7.tar.gz from [/url][url=http://www.nongnu.org/gcmd/]http://www.nongnu.org/gcmd/ which is a file manager program.

 

To install I have done;

 

Downloaded to desktop then cut & past it to my home folder (I didn't know where else to install it :/ )

 

Then I did;

• cd /home/mizzy
  
  
• tar -xvzf gnome-commander-1.1.7.tar.gz
  
  
• cd gnome-commander-1.1.7
  
  
• ./configure && make && checkinstall
  
  

Basically, i want to have a dual boot with windows and linux. now with suse, i take it i need to install windows first, then the GRUB bootloader will find windows?

 

now to my next problem. ive had problems installing mythtv. i always get a connect to database error in the setup. this is with suse. is there a linux distro out there, thats is well used, easy to install myth/comes preinstalled with myth, and has an update system like synaptic or yast? im a noob to linux and ive only just got used to using suse. in previous experience, ive not liked aptitude for getting apps. does knopmyth come with a GUI package downloader? or mythdora?

 

just to recap, i deffo want windows installed, and i want to be able to use mythtv. im willing to dual boot knoppmyth with suse just to get tv functions. but id rather just have everything tidy into one linux package.

 

thanks

Hey guys,

 

I had to do a clean install of Fedora Core 5 and Im trying to compile the madwifi-ng drivers but keep getting

 

Well, I decided to be adventurous and install something from source. While Fedora's not a source-based distribution, I know, I've found some things work better when compiled from source.

 

Specifically, I'm speaking of Wine, which I decided to compile from source from someone's recommendation. I downloaded the source tar.gz, extracted it, followed the directions to install, and it seemed to work perfectly. Unfortunately, after the installer copied all the compiled files to their default directories, I couldn't get Wine to work as a normal user. As root, no problem, but as a user, it refused to work.

 

When I found the executables, I found they'd been put in /usr/local/bin. That seems right, because I read or heard somewhere that it's the default directory for compiled software, or something like that. But it doesn't seem to be working for me.

 

So what should I be doing or changing here? And also, just randomly, why is there no useradd utility?
