kde2 screen is wht w/ no icons help!!!
hello, I recently updated my box with: apt-get update apt-get upgrade running 2.2.18 w/ woody next thing I know, kde is acting funny, loads ok, still have bottom menu bar, but noe background. I went into the KDE controlpanel and checked the settings in look and feel, backgrounds. All my settings are still there. What gives, my last resort is to reinstall KDE2, Gnome 1.2 works fine, nothng else seems affected. Actually, I no longer get the ethernet 0: unkown resources messages. You break one thing to fix another, what a concept. Anyone experienced this bug? Thanks fellow list members... Nick

Re: front page extension for apache
ok, started w/ the file fp40.linux.tar.gz from www.rtr.com since it is a .gz (gzipped) i did gzip -d fp40.linux.tar.gz, well that took off the .gz extension right? now i have fp40.linux.tar as my file name. i think i need to use fp_install.sh to install it right? where do i get fp_install.sh from, and am i going in the right direction? - Original Message - From: Adam Shand <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> To: Beavis <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> Cc: Debian User List ; Sent: Monday, February 28, 2000 8:02 PM Subject: Re: front page extension for apache > > > ok, i downloaded the file fp40.linux.tar.gz > > good start. > > > i put it threw gzip making it afile > > this doesn't make any sense, can you try to describe what you did so we can > help you? > > > sorry to ask such a dumb question, but know what? i looked all over that > > site, but nothing specific to linux > > what is the question you are asking? if you don't know how to deal with a > tar.gz file (all i can gather from the above) then i would strongly > encourage you to look elsewhere. installing/maintaining the frontpage > extensions is not really for someone new to this. it's a pain in the butt > even for experienced unix/linux admins. > > adam. > > > -- > Unsubscribe? mail -s unsubscribe [EMAIL PROTECTED] < /dev/null > >
