Re: [techtalk] problem
Sounds like one or more keys is jammed causing major key repeat! Is your keyboard still causing the problem even when you shut down and restart? Turn your PC off, disconnect the keyboard and have a good look at the keys, testing them out, etc...it may be a good time to clean your keyboard. (Are you sure something sticky is not on your keyboard...I've spilled on my keyboard in the past and paid big time in strange system FX! ;-) ) Di Gregory wrote: > ...Evidently while I was at work, my roommate was on my computer at home > (running win 98) and my cat jumped up on the keyboard.

Re: [techtalk] C++ or Is It GCC or is it g++?
I do finally have my c++ compiler working under Caldera. Thanks for the questions and help. c++ (g++) was not available under the default installation of Caldera 2.2. When I did try to install using kpackage, the tool reported that the following two dependencies were not met: "=" and "2.9.0". These don't look like other packages to me. So, I installed with the "checking dependencies" flag turned off. For good measure I had uninstalled egcs and egcs-obj and reinstalled them first. The compiler did not work until I had done a reboot, which I'm surprised I needed. I'm a little concerned about what the missing dependencies mean, but for now, I'm not going to worry about it.

Re: [techtalk] SoundBlaster Card Under Caldera 2.2

One way to test if your sound card is working or not is to go to the sound option in your control panel under x-windows (when you've got x working the way you want) and try to test sound by choosing to play one of the .wav files. You can also try $ cat /dir/somewave.wav > dev/audio to see if linux recognizes your sound card. Note: /dir/somewave.wav is the file spec of some wave file! But this may not mean that the sb is completely configured properly - it only verifies the operation of a sound card. The knowledge base for Caldera 2.2 article : "How do I configure sound with COL 2.2? (REF#990430-0004)" states that you should use COAS to configure sound properly for the sound blaster. Here's the whole text: "Use COAS to load the sound card module. Select the COAS icon on the tool bar, choose kernel, enter the root password. Then choose from the list of modules to load the appropreate module for your card. For most SoundBlaster and compatible cards the correct module is "sb" After selecting the module click on "Load" you are then given a module parameter menu. The default settings are pre-selected. Make any changes to match your sound card. Then click on "OK" to load the module. By defalut COAS will configuare your system to load newly selected modules on startup. We have identified a minor problem with COAS in checking depenancies. On some systems the first attempt to load the sb module will fail becuase one or more of the required modules are already loaded. We are working on a fix for COAS. In the mean time to work around the issue select the sb module and load it a second time. " Make sure that you examine and select all the appropriate fields when using COAS for this purpose. I found I didn't and it took me some time to get sound going. 'Course you may wish to hold off on this 'till you get your x-windows working the way you want. Let us know how it works out. The Caldera knowledge base can be found at: http://support.calderasystems.com/caldera and may have some information about your video card and x-windows too. [EMAIL PROTECTED] http://www.linuxchix.org
Re: [techtalk] StarOffice and Gnome installation issues
I seem to recall that Linux cannot use swap over 128MB. Anything over this is a waste. Can someone back me up? Cathy James wrote: > Perhaps I'm simply running out of memory > during the install.
