 Hi ..I don't know whether this is a bug report/question for Mozilla
 developers or just a question for this list.
 
 The fact is when I just want to convert PDF files to HTML with the
 Google utility, Mozilla crashes and I have to run it again.
 This crash does not occur for example when I convert DOC or Postcript
 files to HTML.
 
 Anyone had experience this???
 
 
 just a thought here, but if you're having trouble with Mozilla-0.9.7
 then you may want to take a look at 0.9.8. There are quite a few things
 that were fixed in that release. one of which was a HUGE
 speed/performance increase which also translated into stability.
Hi all,
I have to agree here, definitly check into 9.8 this is the best version or
build yet. I have it and havent had any crash problems yet. This is
excellent. Cant wait until the offical 1.0 release.

saves on problems as from what I have been reading on here..

For no good reasons at all ;) I often upgrade kernels. Some mkinitrd
 and all the proper links in /boot and edit and run lilo.  Some don't.
 IIRC, -12mdk did, but -11mdk didn't for example.  You got lucky  ;
 Lurking on the cooker list, I can say they're still ironing out some
 substantial bugs. Current is -20mdk, but 2.4.8-22mdk is already in the
 works.

 I usually wait till at least -10mdk in a cooker kernel series. Then
 start trying ready mades. If the precompiled is successfull, then I d/l
 the source and headers for it.  Supermount is back as of 2.4.8-18mdk,
 but not yet ready for prime time.

[expert] configure error

2001-02-26 Thread chronos

I`m trying to configure the cronosII email program and this is the
following error message I get-
checking for gnome-config... no
couldnt find gnome
checking for gnome-config... no
checking for gnome-print-version =0.20.0... no
the gnome-config script installed by gnome-libs could not be found
if gnome-print was installed in PREFIX make sure PREFIX/bin is in your
path or set the gnome_config enviornment variable to the full path to
gnome_config
checking for gtk-config... no

the gtk-config script installed by GTK could not be found
if GTK was installed in PREFIX make sure PREFIX/bin is in your path or

Now then first question, what is PREFIX/bin ? Second question, I have glib
v.1.2.7 installed correctly and GTK+v.1.2.0 installed as well. So what is
it looking for and where is it looking ? Should I set up some sort of
link or copy certain files to wherever it is looking ? I`m at a loss.
What do you all think ?

[expert] ram issue(continued)

2001-01-18 Thread chronos .

Hi all,
I`m running mandrake 7.1 and I have 128 for ram but it only sees 64 of my 128. I went 
to mandrakeuser.org and found the following- edit tittle linux kernel 
(hd0,0)/boot/vmlinuz root=dev/hda1 then append mem=128M to the end of it. The problem 
is I type pico then tittle linux and it gives me a new file then I type kernel etc. 
and all it does is places a file in my home directory under root. Ctrl W does not 
work. When I type pico kernel etc. by itself it says unexpected token (h and exits. 
How do I edit this file ? There has to be a way to edit this. Keep in mind I`m no 
genius here so I need pretty much exact instructions on what to do. Ie type pico then 
whatever I need to edit the file. 
Thank you,

Chronos:

First off, run this from a command line:

[dstart@fweeble ~]$ cat /etc/lilo.conf

Just the cat part, mind you. If you DON'T have a file called /etc/lilo.conf,
you installed grub as your boot loader. All of the great advice everybody
has offered up to this point is for naught. Were I you, at this point, I'd
say screw it all and reinstall, this time choosing LILO as your boot loader
(why did Mandrake include grub? freedom of choice?). Were I you. Who knows,
it may solve the ram issue. If it doesn't then Chris' great advice below
will work.

You're a newbie, I betcha. Don't worry, we all start somewhere. I was lucky
enough to room with a net.god in college. I know sending people to
LinuxDoc.org is my answer to most tech questions, but you might want to

Chronos,

I have seen you post this question numerous times and I've seen people
answer you with some very good answers. With all due respect, there comes
a time when you need to think for yourself and work with the instructions
that have been given to you. You want to edit a file? How would you do it
in DOS? Typing in 'edit' isn't going to magically open up the file you
want to modify. Typing in edit filenamee will. These are basic concepts
of computer usuage that, no matter what operating system you are using, do
the job.

That said I am going to settle this once and for all. If you have problems
following these instructions then I cannot help you any further.

If you are using KDE or Gnome, login as root; Go to Programs-Editors-and
pick whatever editor you want. Go to File-Open; Change the directory to
/etc (ie: if the default is /root, go up a dir level to /, then click on
/etc). Double-click on the file lilo.conf. About 10 lines down you will
see something that looks like this:

image=/boot/vmlinuz
   label=linux
   root=/dev/hdx
   initrd="/boot/initrd-2.2.17-mdk.img
   append " hdg=ide-scsi ide3=autotune ide2=autotune"

See the append line? No, its not going to look exactly the same as whats
in this email but thats the line you're looking for. Inside the quotation
marks INSERT the mem=128M statement. So that now it will look something
like this:

   append "mem=128M hdg=ide-scsi ide3=autotune ide2=autotune"

Do not change anything else. Save the changes and exit the editor. Now
open a terminal window and type in: lilo and hit your enter key. If you
get errors you made a typo. Follow the instructions about and fix your
error. Re-run lilo when done. Once you get no errors, reboot your
machine.

If you are not running KDE or Gnome, then login as root. Type in the
command cd /etc. Then type in the command pico lilo.conf. Make the same
change as described above. Make sure you run lilo after editing the file.

Linux isn't much different than Windows or DOS. Most things work exactly
the same way. Have you ever editted a file in Windows? Doing it under
Linux uses the same principles.

-Chris

su to root and edit your /etc/lilo.conf to add the following line in
the top (global) section:

append="mem=128M"

then save it and run /sbin/lilo then reboot.

The correct value might be 127M in many cases.

the file. So how do I find the file that linux uses and how do I edit the file to make 
my corrections ?
Thank you, Chronos

[expert] pop-up adds

2001-01-10 Thread chronos .

Hi all,
Had a question,you know all these little adds at the bottom of the screen we see 
anywhere we go on the internet ? Is there a way to block them ? Like for instance get 
the ip address and apply an ipchain rule to block that specific ip address ? Would 
that work or is this just pissing into the wind ?
   Thank you, Chronos.

[expert] ram issue

2001-01-09 Thread chronos .

Hi all,
I am using mandrake 7.1 and I have 128 of ram.Problem is mandrake only sees 64 of my 
128. I went to mandrakeuser.org and found the following. It says to edit the 
following- /boot/grub/menu.1st as root and "find" the following- kernel 
(hd0,5)/vmlinuz root=/dev/hda6 Then append mem=128 to the end of the line. So then, 
how do I "find" the previous line ? I understand I can use pico to edit the line and 
all that.I just dont know how to "find" the line I need.
   Thank you, Chronos.

[expert] ram issue (continued)

2001-01-09 Thread chronos .

Hi all,
I`m using mandrake 7.1 and it only sees 64 of my 128 of ram. I went to 
mandrakeuser.org and found the following - edit /boot/grub/menu.1st as root then 
"find" kernel (hd0,5)/vmlinuz root=/dev/hda6. I`m supposed to append mem=128 to the 
end of that line.I`m using pico to edit the file. Now then ctrl-W does not work. It 
asks what file so I tell it the above and it says not found. So what am I looking for 
? Typing pico /boot/grub/menu.1st helps me make a file entittled boot. Nothing 
more.And then promptly places it in my home root directory. So how do I get to the 
actual file linux uses to boot and append to it ? I need very explicit instructions. 
Obviously I`m missing something here.
Thank you, Chronos.

[expert] ram issue

2000-12-29 Thread chronos .

Hi all,
Have an issue with my ram and would like a solution to this issue. 2.3.2 Specifying 
Memory Size in GRUB
Edit the file /boot/grub/menu.1st as root and find the line which specifies your 
kernel. It should look similar to:
kernel (hd0,5)/vmlinuz root=/dev/hda6
Append "mem=nnnM" to the end of this line (where nnn is the number of megabytes of RAM 
installed in your machine) and reboot. This is what I found on mandrakeuser.org. 
Question I have is how do I edit the file ? I understand that I open pico then what ? 
 Thank you, Chronos.
