Ubuntu uses the standard gnome panels at the top and bottom of the screen. One night while trying to remove an applet that I had added to the main panel on the top I accidentally deleted the main...

Okay, 10 minutes in #gnome on irc.gnome.org and it's back!

In case anyone else has or has had this problem here's how I got it to look EXACTLY like the default Ubuntu main panel:

1. The bottom...

OOps! I added an applet to the main Gnome panel: The one with the foot, the taskbar, the clock, the menu. etc. I.E., the most important one. I decided to remove the applet and accidentally right...

The installation of Ubuntu has a Partition Manager. You're gonna want to choose it's option of erasing the entire disk. Since we're not really concerned with losing data here (in fact that's what we...

My internet works now! Thanks XiaokJ! While not necessarily my proxy, Ubuntu was looking trying to connect through eth0, which I just use to network the two computers in my room. So I deactivated...

Hi Everybody,

I like Ubuntu a lot, and I can love it, and I want to love it. However, I'm having problems connecting to the internet via my dial up modem. My hardware is a US Robotics 3CP5610A...

IT'S WORKING!!

Okay, this part of the story is over! I found a package on the Mandrake cd's that provides libxml2.so and installed it. I was actually suprised that it installed without a hitch. I...

Ok, an update. From the links I decided that I'd try to install the gcc-c++ package, and that worked! However, I'm still having a problem with libxml which I think is due to the fact that I got it to...

I was having a similar issue building XFCE 4.2 RC3 on Mandrake 10.0 (here's my thread ) and mjjohansen pointed out another similar thread at LinuxQuestions.org . Check 'em out and see if they help....

I just did a search on "sanity check" and the guy in this thread had the exact same error message. Apparantly it has something to do with the permissions of a filesystem. I tried to run the installer...

Thanks for the linky, but I already resolved THAT part of the problem myself. First off I hit one of those package repository websites that tells you what files are provided, dependencies, etc. It...

Hi all,

I'm trying to install the third release candidate for XFCE 4.2 with the shiny new install wizard. However, before the wizard starts, it says I need certain packages and programs installed....

Thanks for the suggestions. After some Googling I believe the problem lies in the kernel. You see, it seems 2.6 has some problems with internal PCI modems. I say PCI (Google didn't) because I've...

I wouldn't know, since I'm on dialup.

BeOS has some issues with some newer NICs and other network hardwre, but it's always worked well on my home LAN. I'd imagine you should have no problems....

Depending on the version of Max, you may or may not need to make your own *.cue file.

which version is it and from where did you get it? Version 3 should be good to go

Please let us know which "version" of the BeOS you've downloaded. The official trial version released by Be inc. required installation from within and booting from Windows. Since you stated there's a...

The switch to the 2.6 kernel makes total sense, and in retrospect I realize now that the distros which are unable to detect my modem are all built on 2.6.

So since I'm starting from scratch, how...

FYI from the Mandrake 10 package manager RPMDrake:

Kppp is hit or miss for me when it comes to detecting my modem:

My dialup modem is on COM4/ttyS3 but, depending on the distro, kppp won't always detect it when I try to query the modem for the ATI...

I got the exact same error message with the exact same scenario whilst trying to install Apollon. My problem: I was logged into the terminal and typing "./install.sh" as root. My solution: log out of...

Most keyloggers that I know of need to be installed onto an OS, and therefore don't initiate until the OS is booted. Most BIOS passwords that I know of are changed within the BIOS, not the OS....

I installed mouse gestures, adblock and nukeanything. Mozilla was the default browser installed with Mandrake 9.1

As per the advice of mdwatts, I uninstalled all three extensions via the guide...

Hi all, here's what's up:

Mandrake 9.1, default Mozilla build. Mozilla was working great, I added a theme, all that. So I go to add some extensions, and after installing them, Mozilla now won't...

Do a JL search for "redhat mp3" to yield copius results.

Maybe the cultural dynamics are different from Long Beach to West Covina, or maybe my neighbors don't know me since I only lived here in Southern California for a year.
