Hi all. I did a fresh install of Mandrake 6.0 a few weeks ago and everything worked great but lately a few things haven't been playing nicely... if I right click on the desktop (on kde), the lock screen, display properties, help on desktop, and bookmarks options don't seem to do anything (all the other options seem to work). The first two are the most important to me. Also, when right clicking on the panel the restart option works, but properties doesn't do any thing... any ideas anyone? And a few more questions: Has the kde cdplayer's cddb ever worked? I'm now using gtcd instead as its cddb work (also looks a LOT nicer and more understandable design too). What is the defualt security setup for madrake for telnet and ftp? Like 3 days ago I installed mandrake on a machine for my father and after we hooked it up to an impromptu local network (hi laptop and my sisters new machine for college) http worked great, but the linux box completely ignored telnet and ftp attempts. We finally got it working, but we had to put entries for /etc/hosts for the other computers for them to be able to connect via ftp or telnet.. Michael Bannister BTW, thanks alot for the suggestions on kernal compiles... the stuff w/ using modules is a lot clearer now... I also noticed that modules for different kernal versions are stored in different directories so there is no way for them to confilict. Cool!
