tried urpmi glibc, which returned glibc already installed. Confirmed by rpm -qi glibc which returned glibc-2.2.5. I did locate several instances of the required fiels (libc.so.6) but they are all...

I agree with BaVinic 100%.
Some of us even have to use Windows whether we like it or not. I'm the only one in the office out of 100's of PCs on a Windows network that uses Linux and even that...

I use 2 RPM-based distros: Mandrake 9.0 and RedHat 7.2. I've installed programs both from RPM binaries or compiling from source, with few problems. There's a neat utility called 'checkinstall'...

Very sad news and a tremendous loss to the community. I will miss mdwatts; he frequently helped me in this forum. My sincerest condolences to his family. He had mentioned in a thread last year...

John T, how did you fix the problem?
My Mozilla 1.7 still has the same problem: Double-clicking in the address bar or clicking on some links causes the browser to close. Another bug has come...

MethodicalJ,
If I run /usr/X11R6/lib/xscreensaver/phosphor -program bash, all I get is an x-window with a blinking square. Any keyboard entry only results in a 'beep'. My version of xscreensaver...

I can open tens of pages in Opera, close opera and go right back where I was in the next session. In the rare cases where something goes wrong or even logging out and then back in again without...

After struggling with this for a while but not really in earnest (not the most important task on my TODO list...), I finally figured out what it takes:
1. As root, go to /usr/X11R6/xscreensaver...

I decided to give Firefox 0.8 a try as the weird Mozilla 1.7 behavior is annoying if one wants to copy a URL. Firefox has it's own quirks -- trying to print some pages from certain web pages (MSNBC)...

I'm running Mandrake 9.0. I know, time to upgrade but if it works just fine, why go looking for trouble? Anyways, the Mozilla 1.1 that came with the distro is getting a bit outdated and is a BIG...

Many thanks, kevinalm. That fixed the problem! Now I know what the numbers are for at the end of the fstab entries. Just for fun, I checked the man page for fstab and the explanation is right...

I tried to open (by mistake)a very large tiff file (85 Mb) with Gqview and X crashed. I got back in, tried to open a smaller image file, X stopped working. I managed to get out to a virtual...

I recently had the same problem. When I tried to create a tarred backup of directories up to 9 GB, tar created a file of exactly 2 GB in size minus 1 byte and then exited without an error message. ...

Running Mandrake 9. I've got a 60 GB USB harddrive that I use primarily for backup purposes. It was partitioned as one primary partition using vfat but I decided to change to ext2 because the vfat...

Thanks, homey -- that did the trick. I just read the man page for convert for the 3rd time and it now makes sense. I kind of misunderstood the example:
EXAMPLES

This is one of these cases where the man pages (or info) for convert or find isn't very helpful.
Here's what I want to do:
I've got a directory of jpeg files at 1800x1200 res that I want to...

You can mirror a site using wget --mirror URL. Select a partition that won't be wiped when installing Mandrake and you can install from that partition after booting with a Mandrake boot floppy. Man...

If you don't want to wait until the iso images are released, just mirror the ftp site using wget to a partition that won't get wiped when installing Mandrake 10.0. Create a boot floppy using one of...

I do hope you're right. I've been wanting to try Slackware for some time now after trying a Slackware Live CD and I've got lots of Marlboros for trading. I'll bet the Dayaks prefer Slackware for...

Thanks, XiaoKJ, for the url for linuxiso.org. They have iso images for Mandrake 10.0 Community but not (yet) for Official, which just came out. I wonder if Mandrake is going the way of SuSE by not...

OK, I've mirrored the ftp site for Mandrake 10.0 Official to a USB harddrive (can't find any iso images for burning to CD). After reading the various readme files, it appears that I can create a...

My internet connection through a LAN and DSL line is often slow during the day due to the number of users and 1 CD can require several days with multiple interruptions. Wget with the -c flag has...
