[expert] Bookmarks in Mozilla

2001-11-26 Thread Ken Archer

Everytime I try to add or edit bookmarks in Mozilla it locks up on me 
and I have to use the kill command to get out of it.  I have been 
trying to do this in the last three versions (I downloaded the latest 
off Cooker this morning) and it locks up every time.  Does anyone have 
a solution to this problem?

Re: firewall for 486 - was Re[2]: [expert] Mandrake 8.0 for Sparc

 So, that pokes me to ask MY question - is there any good 486-based
 distro I can use to set up my lowly 486 firewall machine with
 iptables?

 (Remember that I need to run iptables, a mail server, an http server
 (one of these days), and the most recent version of openSSH.)

 Or am I going to have to undertake making a 486 version of mandrake?

 (the alternative is to find a cheap low-end pentium somewhere, which
 I'm also exploring - where by cheap I mean under $21 U.S!)

Re: [expert] Where does it find what modules to load?

If you want a stable OS which allows you the freedoms to tweak your system as

Mandrake has a great installation program and it keeps getting better (thanks

later and fire it up.  Of course I haven't been able to do a fresh install of
Windows on a new drive that way either.

 So on your system, lilo must already be installed on the mbr

 it can't find a file necessary to the booting process, so the

 As root you need to edit the /etc/lilo.conf file and when

Re: [expert] Stop using kdm

Xdm (generic), kdm (KDE) and gdm (gnome) all provide another level of security,
but my original question was about doing away with any of the login managers. 
Once you have setup Mandrake to launch X and go directly to a gui, the default
is to bring up Kdm.  Now I would rather go directly to a consol screen and
then, using "startx" go directly to my window manager of choice as set up in
~/.xinitrc.  What I can't find is the file to edit to take kdm out of the

  In your current situation, if you get a text login, it's

 Exactly.  There are no *dm instances in the output of

 This is fine with me, though.  The only condition I'ld see as important to use

 Do *dm provide enhanced security, or just a fancier login interface?
 
 I should try them just to see what the gui's look like, albeit probably
 something like on Solaris and gui or character doesn't make any difference; only
 gui looking prettier.  If there's a security difference, though, then a la gui
 login I'll switch to.

Re: [expert] Stop using kdm

2000-04-19 Thread Ken Archer

If you have a multi-user system, the login manager has some advantages because
it allows you to select who has shutdown priveleges, etc.  It also has an
additional password screen for further protection.  If you have a single-user
system, I can't see any real advantage to a login manager.  On a single-user
system I use guichooser to simplify chosing which window manager I want to use.
 I have eight of them installed.

 I'll need to read up on the advantages of one mode over the other.  I
 don't mind console mode, but always run startx when I want to work in a
 gui desktop environment, and have no problems using a terminal window to
 do much of my work.  I don't mind command line mode and definitely don't
 see any real advantage with MS Windows in this respect.  I spend much
 time in terminal windows, and the programming editor I normally use is
 vim (not even bothering with gvim).
 
 However, if there's an enhanced security advantage using kdm or gdm or
 xdm boot mode, then I would definitely switch.  Otherwise, am in no
 hurry to do so.
 
 Is there such an advantage booting with these as the boot mode?

 We are getting into way too much bashing.  This thread should really be
 named '6.1 Helios observations (Bug reports the sequel)'.  In deference
 to Gael I think we should be 100%, or as close as possible, sure
 something is a bug and not just our own error or failure to get up to
 speed on a process/problem before reporting same.

You will find klicq here:

 I found the homepage for licq all right, but what is the address for Klicq? 
 Could not see it listed under kde applications at kde.org.
 
 Thanks,

Re: [expert] Xlib: Invalid MIT-MAGIC-COOKIE-1 key

1999-09-06 Thread Ken Archer

You are right, of course.  I've been using SuSE and it is necessary with it. 
Guess I will get used to Mandrake in another week or so.
  
 looks like you are refusing connection to root to your display. Try doing xhost
 +localhost from a terminal in your current user (the one that did the su from.

[expert] Xlib: Invalid MIT-MAGIC-COOKIE-1 key

1999-09-05 Thread Ken Archer

I seem to have some kind of corrupted file as you see from the subject line. 
I have upgraded 6.0 to XFree86-3.3.5, kernel-2.2.13-pre4mdk and
initscripts-4.23-30mdk.  When I try to bring up netcfg, control-panel or
filerunner from Konsole I get the following error:

[karcher@Angus karcher]$ su
