I screwed up again... While in SuSE I was opening up Counter Strike (steam) when it freezed. Being the complete newb that I am, I started mashing buttons... Anyways, I think I pressed CTR-ALT something and it took me to a command screen and prompted for login, I logged in and then restarted. But now everytime I restart, it takes me to the command instead of the gui. Any Ideas? Thanks, Capc

I installed steam very easily using winex 3.2. I downloaded the installer from steampowered.com and opened it with winex. It installed very easily, and I have no problems with it.

I got it working While browsing some other linux help forums, I found someone else with the same problem, and it was easily solved by running sax2. Thanks to everyone that tried to help, I really do appreciate it! Capc

Well, I got into Yast and changed it to runlevel 5, but absolutely nothing changed. So I just decided to screw around in console, when i swtiched it to telinit 3, then back to telinit 5 and it gave me this: Skipped Loading (something like that...maybe disabled...): SuSEfirewall2_setup boot.sched SuSEfirewall2_final Maybe some of these things should be...enabled? If something doesn't happen soon... I might just... RE-Install I hoped it wouldn t come to this...

Stupid question: How can I run Yast2 without the GUI? Is there a command I can use? Or what? thanks, capc

Thanks for trying to help guys, but to no avail... Heres a re-cap of what I tried: CTR-ALT F1: Returns to colorfull comand login. CTR-ALT F5: Goes to regular black command login. CTR-ALT F7: Goes to black page with blinky square. CTR-ALT F10: Goes to a black command looking place and say's : IO ERROR IN XOPENDIS Dislplay :0 cannot be opened Telnit 5: Bash: Command not found Any other Ideas?

Im running mandrake 9.1 and i need a french text editor for school. Since i take most of my classes in french i just need basic things like grammar and spell check. I dont need anything high tech, but if anyone has any ideas, that would be super

I forget where i read about this, but i cant seem to find out much more about this... http://www.redflag-linux.com/eindex.html Does anyone know where i can get some screenshots? It looks very... interesting...

I tried doing that... but it was taking like 30 hours... and im just so lazy. But what i was actually looking for, was a review or some screeshots. Im just wondering if its worth waiting so long :S

So far my linux experience has been good. I actually just started using Mandrake 9.1 on Monday, but ive run into a problem. My geforce 2 mx400 has super choppy graphics in 3d games like tux racer, One of my main reasons for swithcing to linux was to play tux racer, and if i cant... ill just die. Ive downloaded the latest Nvidia drivers, but when i double click on it, it says its already installed. But if i open up Konsole and type sh *drivername, it says xwindows is open and I have to close it... So if anyone has any ideas on how to close x windows, or better yet fix my graphics card, it would be greatly appreciated!

Yah, when i installed mandrake i had no idea what xfree was... so i just picked the highest number ;( . So ill do that and hope i can get tux racer going!

no... actually... just xf86config .... i hope i didnt screw too much up

or if your using KDE [like i am] you should check out www.kde-look.org, ive found some pretty sweet stuff, i have.

well, actually i just typed the same thing ./*drivername except as root and it worked . And then i changed the xf86config like it recommended. But now, tux racing wont even load! It just does that spinny hour glass at the bottom and closes... any ideas?
