I have been using Mandrake since 8.0 for home and business and am still q= uite=20 a newbie. I am currently testing Junior 2.2 for business purposes as I ne= ed=20 decent cyrillic support. Installed ALTLinux to my home machine as a third OS (Mandrake9.1 and=20 Win98being already there). Linuxes share a common /boot and /home=20 directories. First installation ended in a mess - Mdk and ALT seem to use different UI= D=20 scheme and home folders my four users were messed up. While repairing it = I=20 somehow succeeded in blowing both installations completely :) Reinstall. Junior installed OK, but before proceeding with Mandrake I dec= ided=20 to fine-tune ALT first. There are quite many questions and problems: 1. Konqueror dies. It starts up, works fine as a browser, but trying to u= se it=20 for file manager - it shows folder and its content for half a=20 second and then crashes. I get following message: Loading required GL library /usr/X11R6/lib/libGL.so.nvidia libpng warning: Incomplete compressed datastream in iCCP chunk libpng warning: Profile size field missing from iCCP chunk mcop warning: user defined signal handler found for SIG_PIPE, overriding /home/wahur/tmp/mcop-wahur is accessible owned by user zone still contained 7 blocks I guess the reason might be that ownership of some kde files and folders = in my=20 home directory is still messed up (some of them now belong to my wife :))= ).=20 But I cannot change the ownership back also! Any other solution except fo= r=20 uninstall KDE-delete all folders-reinstall KDE routine? 2. KPatience has no cards. This is by far the most dangerous flaw - my wi= fe=20 loves the game ;-) Situation is absolutely critical! Damn the konq but I = need=20 those cards fast. 3. Loading tuxracer ends with such an error Loading required GL library /usr/X11R6/lib/libGL.so.nvidia *** tuxracer error: Can't find the tuxracer data directory. Please check= the value of `data_dir' in ~/.tuxracer/options and set it to the location whe= re=20 you installed the tuxracer-data files. Couldn't chdir to /usr/share/tuxracer/ (No such file or directory) Another critical flaw - this brings angry kids on me! 4. Package management. Installation procedure used only first CD. But syn= aptic=20 does not acknowledge CDs as an installation source at all. How can I set = CD=20 (or any other local folder) as a source for synaptic? I never install fro= m=20 net because of very slow connection! 5. Do you have fluxbox available anywhere? KDE is good for kids and wife,= I am=20 more like Fluxbox+ROX guy myself. 6. This Eng-Rus dictionary, wish, does nothing else but eats 99% of CPU b= ut=20 never starts. I thought it might be really nice to have. 7. OpenOffice menu fonts look ugly like death. Document fonts are OK. Thanks for all who reached this far. Thanks for any help. Answers can be = in=20 Russianas well, I can read it (though I rather would not write). Wahur
