I used to be able to play CDs from KDE - KSCD CD Player. This has
mysteriously stopped. The CD spins and KSCD acts as though it were
playing save for one thing... no sound comes out. Is this KDE screwing

Hi,
By far my biggest gripe about using Red Hat 6 is that I have never
managed to get Java running in Netscape, ie as soon as Netscape (4.51
and 4.61) smeels Java, it bombs out. Well, sometimes it can take up to a
minute to crash, but crash it will every time it comes into contact with
Java.

I'm sorry, if I bother you with a really silly question, but...what shall I do,
if this "kill -9" just does'nt work? Not very long time ago it just happened,
so what to do
You're welcome. I hope this works out for you. My next thing is to get
decent Internet access again so I can once again use Linux for all my
Internet needs. I'm getting tired of the constant crashes under Windows. So
I hear you on the wanting to get away from Microsoft products :)
I have Creative Labs PCI Modem and unfortunately the PCI version is a
winmodem too. Get this. I can't even get it to work right under Windows
either. It worked great before and then after upgrading motherboard and CPU
for some reason it doesn't work correctly. When it connects it locks up
Windows.
I'm afraid I don't really know the answer to that one. I've never had a
kill -9 *not* work on a pid.

The process states that 'ps' outputs are: (from the man page)

I am a newbie and am having a problem setting up my modem. When I go to
kppp I get an error message that says:
"kppp has detected a "lock" option in /etc/ppp/options. This option has to
be removed since kppp takes care of the device locking itself. Contact your

Can anyone help
You have to open up a file named options (in a text editor) that is located
in the /etc/ppp/options directory and remove the line that says "lock". Save
it to disk and it will be fine. Any of the editors in KDE should work fine
for that.
