Bruno Posted May 23, 2004 Share Posted May 23, 2004 Hi ColinWindows, PClos and Mepis are no devices . . . so you will not find them there . .You will have to mount them first before you can access them in /mnt . . also you have to make /mnt/pclos and /mnt/mepis first before you can mount them . . . .

AbeL Posted May 24, 2004 Share Posted May 24, 2004 Well AdamI have looked and can NOT find it  and even Gimp does NOT seem to be 2.0 Colin Hi Colin:Good to see you got your system to behave itself again.In the above, if your talking about Drake10, Gimp1.2 installs by default, but 2.0 IS on the distribution CD and you have to post-install it via MCC. After that you'll have both versions. I don't remember where, but I read that it is recommended to leave both.Good luckAbe Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kamicota Posted May 24, 2004 Author Share Posted May 24, 2004 Thanks AbeWent looking in the MCC for gimp to but could not find it BUT will give it another trySee that Adam spelled it Image Magick with a "c" too so will have another look for that Also Colin Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Bruno Posted May 24, 2004 Share Posted May 24, 2004 Hi ColinYou are hard to please my friend ! . . . Still not happy ???Okay, okay, we will sort out the programs you have not yet installed yet later today as I come back from work. Also I will show you how to mount those partitions . . . . . Automounting the partitions you do not use daily is not a good idea, it is better to leave them un-mounted and only mount them when, and as long as, you need them mounted ;)So, on the agenda for today: 1). Adding software sources2). Installing The Gimp 2.03). Installing imagemagick4). Learning to mount and un-mountB) Bruno Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bruno Posted May 24, 2004 Share Posted May 24, 2004 Hi ColinBecause I will be online a bit later then usual tonight ( Monday is a special day ) I will give you some "homework" :Imagemagic: . . . It should already be installed on your system . . . . Try this, open a console and type: $ display See ?? It is installed :huh: . . . . Now all we have to do is make a menu entry for it ! So now type: $ menudrake This will open the menu editor . . in the left pane you will see all the menu items . . unfold "Multimedia" and click on "Graphics" so it gets a blue background behind the word "Graphics" . . . Then push the button "+Application" . . a dialog will pop up with two lines to fill in: Title: ImageMagickCommand: /usr/bin/display Then press "OK" and check the box "Open in terminal" ( NOTE: only with this program that box needs to be checked . . . other progs do not need it !! ) . . then click on the Icon and change it to one you like . . . . After all that press the "Save" button to save the new menu . . . and the work is done . . close the menueditor-GUI and have a look in the menu . . it should be there !! :DSee you later for the rest of the jobs we have to do . . . . :DB) Bruno Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kamicota Posted May 24, 2004 Author Share Posted May 24, 2004 Great Bruno Got Image Magick went looking for Firefox but not in there. Found it in PCLos but it was already installed.Seems as if there may be a process in Menudrake or elswhere where one can find other programs to install but have yet to find itColin is Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
teacher Posted May 24, 2004 Share Posted May 24, 2004 ColinI am not in Mandrake right now so I can not give you exact instructions but look under Configuration --> KDE --> Look n' Feel (possibly)--> Menu Update. There is something there to updat menus but I can not remember if it is under Look n' Feel but i know it is under Configuration--> KDE somewhere.Julia Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

GolfProRM Posted May 24, 2004 Share Posted May 24, 2004 If you go into the install software section, and search for Firefox, you can download and install it right from there, and it will automatically install it and add it to the menu Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

teacher Posted May 24, 2004 Share Posted May 24, 2004 You could go read the tip about updating sources since he takes you through it step by step there: ADDITIONAL SOFTWARE SOURCESStill waiting for more sources but here are already a few:Source PLFurpmi.addmedia plfplf ftp://mandrake-forum.org/pub/PLF/mandrake/10.0 with hdlist.cz Source Thacs: urpmi.addmedia thacs.rpms http://rpm.nyvalls.se/10.0/RPMS with hdlist.cz Source Contrib urpmi.addmedia contrib ftp://ftp.nluug.nl//pub/os/Linux/distr/Mandrake/official/10.0/contrib/i586 with ../../i586/Mandrake/base/hdlist2.cz Only for Clubmembers:Source Club Commercial urpmi.addmedia club.comm_i586_10.0Official http://NICKNAME:PASSWORD@www.mandrakeclub.com/downloads2/comm/10.0/ with ./hdlist.cz Just copy and paste each one in the command line. You will not need the bottom one unless you joined the Mandrake Club and have received your user name and password. You will copy and paste each code and wait to get your prompt and then copy and paste the next one. When done you can go in to the Mandrake Control Center and look for your programs you could not find before.Julia Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kamicota Posted May 24, 2004 Author Share Posted May 24, 2004 Thankz Julia I did LOOK at this post before but Decided to wait until the direction came and sure enough it di thank youthey are in now and we can now look for Firefox and Gimp 2.0 and then see where we go from thereColin's Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bruno Posted May 24, 2004 Share Posted May 24, 2004 Hi Colin . . . I wrote this morning: You are hard to please my friend ! LOL . . . it starts to dawn on me that you are maybe impossible to please . . . . . . please slow down . . . why do you want all at once ?? :DThis was the list for today:1). Adding software sources2). Installing The Gimp 2.03). Installing imagemagick4). Learning to mount and un-mountAnd if you want more we will put it on the list for tomorrow !! :DNow about the sources: Julia posted them already, but I ONLY want you to add the "Contrib" and the "PLF" ones . . . because otherwise you will get too many conflicting versions of the same packages . . . So open a console . . . become ROOT and paste:urpmi.addmedia contrib ftp://ftp.nluug.nl//pub/os/Linux/distr/Mandrake/official/10.0/contrib/i586 with ../../i586/Mandrake/base/hdlist2.cz And press Enter ( the code is ONE line ) . . . let it finish the job . . then: urpmi.addmedia plfplf ftp://mandrake-forum.org/pub/PLF/mandrake/10.0 with hdlist.cz Tell me when you are readyB) Bruno Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Bruno Posted May 24, 2004 Share Posted May 24, 2004 The problem with all those sources is that if you want to install software you get too many choices and you end up not knowing what to install . . . If you want a stable system, you have to restrickt yourself to stable mdk native packages . . . and The Gimp and Firefox are available as stable ones . . . . I just do not want you to install the experimental ones, just for the sake of stablility !So first thing we will do now is open the MCC --> package management --> Media Manager and remove the ticks in the boxes of:plfplfthacs.rpmsThen press "OK" and go to "Install" . . . . . there you type in the box: "mozilla-firefox" . . . and report back to me what version numbers of Firefox you get to see . . . do not install anything yet . . just report back.

Bruno Posted May 24, 2004 Share Posted May 24, 2004 Great job Colin . . . . Now you install: "mozilla-firefox-0.8-14mdk" . . . that is all you need ( see the "mdk"at the end ? That means it is an official Mandrake package )After that you type "gimp" in the searchbox and report to me what you get in the left pane . . . . and I will explain to you what to install Bruno Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
