Hi you all, ive got a problem with Xserver.

when i installed slack it asked witch desktop system i wanted to use

and ai answered KDE. I want to try out some of the other desktops.

at the install it installs all systems, like fluxbox, blackbox, gnome and KDE.

well with the imminent release of Fedora Core release 5 next week (March 15th), are you going to do the Red Hat team justice and download/install this cutting edge distro ?

 

I know that I will !, in fact, I can't wait :)

 

I'm hoping that it will ship with Gnome 2.14, however that is sceduled for release on the same day so I dunno...

 

vote !

 

cheers

I have a nifty lil program called Netlimiter for Windows (http://www.netlimiter.com/) that I use to cap my upload speeds so that I may still browse the internet quickly with many torrents going. I have looked around for a program like it for Linux (running simplyMEPIS atm) and haven't had any luck finding anything. Any sugestions?

I'm using simplyMEPIS 3.4-3 and KDE

I have a MS intelimouse explorer and was just curious if there is a way i can easily assign the extra mouse buttons to go foward and backwark in my web browser (Firefox or Knoqueror)

Greetings,

Just thought I would stop in and introduce myself.

I'm a computer tech from Tennessee , Windows veteran and Linux noob so I belive i made it to the right spot [img]<___base_url___>/uploads/emoticons/default_laugh.png[/img]

Right now i'm playing around with simplyMEPIS on my laptop and i'm quite lost when it comes to apt-get and all that jaz so i'll probley have some questions soon. Hope to have a fun learning experiance here. Cya in the threads B)

Hello. I've had some trouble with my usb based mp3 player. It was working a week ago but now when I plug it in nothing happens. I also had problems getting my dvd drives working but someone helped me out by editing the fstab file, so now dvds are detected again.

I don't know how to go about fixing the USB problem however. SHould there be a USB entry in the fstab? And if so could someone write how it should look like? Thanks in advance. any help would be greatly appreciated.

Hey guys. I am new to slackware. I have a few issues with my install and I am looking for advice. I will number them out. Please see if you can help me. Prior to telling me, I did not use the Slakware 2.6.* kernel install guide which is listed on this forum. I wanted to keep it basic for myself. Plus it might be good practice to learn how to update the kernel. This installation is using the standard 10.2 kernel install of 2.4.*.

 

1)Lilo configuration: During install I select expert LILO setup because I need to point it to /dev/hdb (my hdd). My harddrive has 2 partitions, /dev/hdb1 for swap (512) and /dev/hdb2 for '/'. During expert setup I set LILO to /dev/hdb2, boot from MBR, booting using /boot/vmlinuz and defined the boot partition to be /dev/hdb2. For some reason when my installation is completed it tells me to reboot. Ok. I'm fine with that. When it reboots the screen is black and a bunch of 02 02 start to scroll across my computer screen. It just goes 02 02 02 02 02 02 02 02 02...etc. Very wierd. It does not boot into linux then. Did I do something wrong? During the install I chose a standard linux view (i forget what it is exactly called, but I chose Normal Mode instead of like VGA 1024x768x256). I really don't know what the issue is but it is frustrating me.

 

2) My second issue deals with Swaret and updating slackware with necessary packages. I downloaded the most recent stable version off of their sourceforge website. i extract the files and modify the .conf file like it states. When I try to run and install it using ./doisnt.h it tells me to properly config my .conf file and run the application...When I try to run the application it says No such file or directly. (I tried doing swaret --update). Am I doing something wrong here with the installation? Are there other slackware update tools or what is good to use?

Hello,

I have a 128MB Lexar Jump Drive that I can't access from my winbox because I shared it once and everytime I try and access it the system just hangs. Lame. I want to access it on my linux box but I forget how. I did it once before, and all I can remember is it has something to do with a 'by-id' folder.

 

 

If anybody knows it would be greatly appreciated. Maybe after I mount my jump-drive someone will help me set it up in fstab! :)

Ever watch the movie 'The Score' ? Theres this funny Hacker character named Steven who hates his mom. Sound familiar? [img]<___base_url___>/uploads/emoticons/default_laugh.png[/img]
