Greetings, SuSE : kover Farewell

Greetings, First of all , try to give a clear background, Be more specific , you cant send file(s) through icq (( icq (win) | (gaim/licq/kopete (linux) ))) () If you cant send from win it could be the firewall , for linux also.No clue,just give more information Plus from where from / to ... ? win <-> linux or in general ? Farewell

Greetings, Don't mention "pings" , just say you need to configure your LAN instead of that while you state your problem Now, You also want to share InternetConnection/n' serious stuff or just to configure succesfully your LAN ? If yes , ( you said winXP/linux and viceversa ? ) Try to configure your Ethernet card , via DHCP on linux (You know ip static or auto via DHCP | (((Host/Domain)NAME)/DNS) ) Or viceversa via DHCP on win and see where you go from there | domainname | dnsdomainname | nodename | hostname | or whatever to make sure everything's in order Farewell

Greetings, Configure LAN/FWall/shared folders n' stuff () Note that you have to be cautious if you want to R/W while under linux to another partition ( better let that R/O(it IS possible but not recommended) ) |su root | mount -t smbfs -o username=TheUserName | (prompt for passwd will appear after that ( if necessary )) | //ComputerName/SharedFolder /mnt/TheMountPoint As for within XSession ( try with konqueror or whatever ) | smb://xxx.xxx.xxx.xxx/ | Hope that's what you wanted Farewell

Greetings, You're welcome , Don't mention it,anytime PS I'm sorry 'bout your hdd | What can i say ? @ happens,not only to you but to everyone.I hope you didnt lost any important files (that's what matters) Feel free to state any other problems at all.We all here for you Farewell

Greetings, For who wants to play once again some very old but decent games Pay a visit : http://www.scummvm.org/ Farewell

Greetings, What you wanna hear ? The truth or something sweet ? If you want the sweet : Check your disk , otherwise : here it goes : I think your drive's about to go ... (As you said , you've already checkd within the bios/cables/IDE) So... () It could be something that has to do with DMA though , i dont know for sure , su root | hdparm -d /dev/hdb1 ( hdb1 aint that one ? ) Check the DMA mode also , ( man hdparm ) Farewel

Greetings, SuSE9.0Pro I've noticed that while rcacpid status : running , Within /etc/X11/XF86Config , within section Mod , there's no Load "dri" , so every time i try to enable 3D , i can get 3D to work succesfuly , but then something's wrong , as a *conflict* and the LID e/o BUTTON aint working no more. So , when 3D==enabled LID/BUTTON==OFF and viceversa , when 3D==disabled LID/BUTTON==ALLRIGHT I've also noticed that only battery's okay,so , ac/battery/thermal/processor seems to not bother with that dri ... Any ideas ? I'll try to deal with it but i dont know from where to start Farewell

Greetings, I dont think that he/she did something in order to ovveride /etc/inittab | ::3/::5 , The only thing that may did that and instead of X you get console is an updated XFree so it messed up with the config files Farewell

Greetings, Right click on your clock Then Date&Time format ( within the time&dates ) and switch the time format to pH:MM:SS AMPM Farewell

Greetings, Almost all the dvd/dvdrw are region free nowadays Some of em arent so the only way is the firmware My combo fortunately in my laptop is region free also You're lucky too Farewell

Suse 8.1 pro , frozen bubble denies to run Perl SDL needed Vorbisfile too ( Tell me your solution to tell you more ... )

Greetings, I don't have any problems with Frozen-Bubble,i just when i did that post i couldnt find any SuSE rpms cause there wasnt any that time I appreciate your concern though Take care

Greetings, Very true , If you want to play games get a psx or have another desktop/laptop with windows ( or dual boot ) installed in order to play games And keep linux for the use you want , I think of linux under development and i dont think that we will get great perfomance in games at least same or better than windows ( quake3 btw rocks in linux & frozen bubble rules ) In other words, windows=game ( cause you have everything with an OK button ) you watch some dvds , you play a game , chat on the irc etc and you just waste your time,so windows is waste of time for me linux=OS,in sense that in order to go well with it you'll need some *universal knowledge* i can state it ? With linux you dont waste your time while you do with windows,at least if you waste it you learn more n' more while with windows you were just learning few AUTO steps (Windows=Click install,next,next,...,next*(n)times and you're set , linux=next?what's that?No buddy,you need to understand how it works,you go deeper,Compile,solve Dependencies etc) () Think of the resources as well.Get a good look at how linux works and windows and you'll see what i mean,take dvdrip for example,with windows your whole system halts and that's the only job you can do while with linux only the ~10% is wasted to do so The rest i leave it to you Farewell

Greetings, Keep in mind that if you want to work with windows as well to always have the 1st partition ( if there are 2 partitions and you have windows/linux separated in these 2 ) free in order to can easily reinstall windows w/o creating any problems In other words , linux 2nd windows 1st (partition) in the same disk Now in case you have 2 hdd's , each to an OS and no worries at all,just some configurations and you're set ( bootloader to load windows and viceversa ) Farewell

Greetings, Before you make any permanent changes within your bootloader's conf file you can try : su root|grub|reboot when grub appears you ( with all you've heard before from the other guy) root (hd0,x) setup(hd0,x) *kernel=/boot/vmlinuz *initrd=/boot/initrd chainloader (hd0,x)+1 ( or +21 +22 ) and check if you can load windows You know,the manual way Farewell

Greeetings, You can try with rpm -e k_defltXXX.rpm --nodeps ( same for it's source ) Otherwise ls /usr/src/ and rm the old ones ( proceed with caution ) you need to make sure about modules as well , be cautious with the <M> during your kernel's configuration as well Check /lib/modules ( caution with these ) As for the menu you can easily get rid of the options you dont need by reconfiguring your boot Loader,check /etc/sysconfig/ as well Farewell

Greetings, with reiserFS ? Here's some info to avoid future possible problems : Windows was first linux 2nd ? If yes you have a problem reinstalling windows , Let me explain Windows wants to stay front and in case you did something in that partition ( let's say you have 2 , 1st for windows 2nd for linux with reiserFS) i dont think you'll have problems at all , just you need to reinstall windows and then reconfigure your bootLoader Otherwise if you went through some wild stuff you cant resize your reiserFS easily so you can get back your 1st partition in order to get windows installed and you have to backup everything if you want to be sure and proceed with caution Get gnuparted or pqmagicXP ( in case you need reSizing) (fdsik /mbr to get your default window,then you need Bdisk and reconfiguration of your boorLoader) Farewell

Greetings, It's related as fas as you get error msgs But in your case i dont think so, it's something else , that you dont get any messages , the init is currently 5 and you still come up to console That's due to an updated xfree i guess ? Farewell

Greetings, Try AUDACITY to convert ( You open an existing mp3/ogg or anything and you can export n' stuff ) If you mean to burn mp3's from your hdd ( as you used to do with nero in win ) then you should try xcdroast , i'm not sure if that's implemented yet though ( to drag n' drop mp3's ) and make an CDA Farewell

Greetings , Who has not enough knowledge of up[censored] and stuff and in general with linux i suggest not to try up[censored] XFree , at least he/she could try with rpm from his/her distro which is more safe that way , otherwise you get changes such as /etc/inittab switching init 5 to init 3 , fonts , mouse cursors and other boot related things. As a matter of fact you could try get the xfree that suits you and when you 'sh Xinstall.sh' guides you through the installation and tries to make it easier by proposing the more suitable selection. Take your pick , i leave it to you ... At least make backups X11-X11R6 and give it a try , a try worths it Farewell

Greetings , Check http://rpm.pbone.net And seek a)lopster , b)edonkey (2000) ( Which a server thing must be done with couple of configurations ) c)imule Keep in mind that helping warez by sharing is lame& illegal and p2p is not pretty safe for your box. That's all I guess that might help GoodLuck Farewell

hEHEH , Hi

Greetings , Up[censored] to the newer version of xfree will solve that also , so you can either make the steps i've told you before *** either you get the newer version of XFree , ***** I was just testing that stuff lately and that's why i know for sure Take your pick... ***** I leave it to you For SuSE 8.1 pro/per : ftp://ftp.gwdg.de/pub/linux/suse/ftp.sus...3.0-SuSE/suse81 Or http://www.xfree86.org ( and get into trouble ) *** init 3 | When 3 reached ---> CTRL-C | vim ( or any other editor ) /etc/X11/XF86Config| add the line ---> Option "CrtScreen" within your display section | ESC+wq! to save n' exit (vim) | switch to init 5 ( you get your login screen within X ) otherwise , CTRL-C and startX. ( Within your X session _--> open konsole and : mk_initrd and reboot ) You may need to exec SuseConfig as well.That' depends on you , what you want to do exactly , Good Luck Farewell
