You cannot set /etc and /var to be only readable to root, if you do so,
many processes you try to run as a user will fail. You mau not even be
able to log in...

In your other post, you said your Linux system was unstable, could it be
because you're trying to do strange stuff like this to it? What changes
have you made to your system?

How can I tell what windows manager I am using?

I want to start the Gnome Control Center, but don't know how, and I
want to run Enlightenment but it tells me in the help to go to Gnome
ControlCenter which I can't start.

Help!!

I am running After Step right now, and Gnome or KDE not sure I think
still Gnome but I wanted Enlightenment and not After Step.

Thanks!

I heard Enlightenment and Gnome combo has memory holes and needs to be
rebooted like a microsoft POS . . .   but I liked the look of
enlightenment.  Anyone have any feedback on that?  I read about
Enlightenment on THIS newsgroup, do a search for it and you can read
about people complaining.  Is it still beta?

Easy now, slow down and take a deep breath :)

You say you are running Afterstep, so that is the window manager you are
running. To start the Gnome Control Center, open up a term window and
run gnomecc

If you are running a Gnome panel, look for an icon that looks like an
old-time wooden toolbox.

If you want to switch to Enlightenment, open up the Gnome Control
Center, and click on the words "Window manager" at left. Then, click on
the word "Enlightenment" in the right-hand pane, and then the OK
button. E should start at that point.

If you do not see the word "Enlightenment", then click the
"Add" button, and fill out the form like this:
Name: Enlightenment
Command: enlightenment
Configuration command:

Check the box for "Session managed", and click OK. Then follow the steps
above to start E.

>I am running After Step right now, and Gnome or KDE not sure I think
>still Gnome but I wanted Enlightenment and not After Step.

A quick check: If you see a button at bottom left that looks like a
letter "K" on a gear, you're running KDE. If you see a button at lower
left that looks like a letter "G" styled to look like a footprint (or
vice versa), then you're running Gnome.

Gnome does have some memory leaks, but not too bad, tho Gnome 1.2 is
MUCH better on the memory leak front.

Enlightenment, on the other hand, is a flaming hairy memory-leaking pig!

Where are the configuration files for KMAIL kept? I want to copy all my
settings and email from one user on my machine to another.

I have fubar'ed the window manager settings for my primary login on my
laptop and have created another user, I don't want to bring over the messed
up window manager schtuff but would like to pull over the KMAIL settings
(accounts, and actual email) before I delete the original user.

Any suggestions?

(I'm not even going to attempt to fix the window manager problem, it's
BIZARRE and would take volumes to explain how it got that way... let it be
sufficient to say that I've sworn off
playing with themes and window managers until I understand Linux and x a LOT
better.)

>>>>>>>>>>>>extreme newbie<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<

and uh, if it's important... I'm running RedHat6.2

When I first install linux I had like 3 icons on my <desktop?> one was
Home . .. I switched my windows manager around and now they are gone.

I am using Gnome.


Also if KDE and Gnome are windows managers, what is After Step and E
? ??  If they are windows managers can you run more than one at once?

KDE and Gnome are not window managers. They are what's called a "desktop
environment". They provide a framework for other things, such as
theming, graphical components, Drag&drop, session management, etc.

E and Afterstep are window managers, and when run under KDE/Gnome, are
under their control.

I understand ur problem.I too started with muLinux in April,2000 as a novice,but i could manage in installing,browsing(In netscape 4.7 in Red Hat) as well as sending & receving emails and now exploring the possibility of installing mailserver for my company in RedHat 6.2.I think,u should convey ur Hardware details so that i could advice u in right direction.According to me,pentium PC,may be old one with MMX model of 200-300 mhz speed with  32 MB RAM & 1.2 GB Harddisk will do miracle for u under linux!

I was running GNOME (XWINDOWS) on my linux and it was
crashing all the time. Then I accidentally increased
the size of the linux swap partition and it started
working great. No more hang ups. Please try it.

i don't really know about memory leaks but as for enlightenment i was using
it and have recently switched to sawfish. has the same look and feel of e
but leaves a much smaller footprint in memory, written in lisp and is well
written. so you might want to check that out.

Dear Mr.Vaibhav Sharma,

I had installed Apache server in my linux machine and it running OK on
server.However,when i try to connect its IP address through my client
from Win95 machine from Internet browser through proxy access by
accessing http://142.147.161.125/home/httpd/home/html/index.html,it says

"You don't have permission to access /home/httpd/html/index.html on this
server" with error number
403 Forbidden.The IP address for my linux server is 142.147.161.125 and
i had already allowed my ipaddress  in access.conf and denied none
also.My http is installed on port 80/tcp in etc/services.

Where I am making mistake????

With Thanks,
V.Harirajan

The only themes I've seen are for KDE or E or Windows Manager, my
question is . .. Are there themes for Gnome and/or After Step?

I am running Gnome and E now, because I like playing with the themes
but Afterstep themes aren't available for download . .. and I like
after step.

Also How do you get a picture to be in the background of your XTERM
window???   I see it in theme pictures but all my xterms I open have a
white background.

Thanks!

PS:  I am really starting to like Linux, thanks to all you who have
been helping me out.  ;-)

-Matt



PSS:  How can I change my swap partition size easily????  I want to
make it bigger.

Thanks for ur mail.u r right regarding user.Yes,i had set linuxconf for apache for user nobody as well as my root directory is /home/httpd/html too!.

But is it going to matter really for my client PC where it says Apache 1.3.12 is already running !but it throws the error 403 Forbidden by saying that i don't have permission to access the index.html.Will  i create a new user for webserver and use that user in my linuxconf?This is what u mean by that?Will it solve my problem?Obviously my home directory for this new user will be /home/httpd/html.Right??

I will try this tomorrow when i go to work to test ur other solution to access my index.html as http://142.147.161.125/index.html.If it works then hats off for ur quick reply!lol......

In any case,How the server understand Win95 client is nobody or new user?This seem logically incorrect.

Regarding httpd.conf in detail i will send its details when all these doesn't work!!

Till then bye & good night!

You do not need to give the full path while accessing
the homa page on the server.

You just need to say
http://142.147.161.125/index.html or simply
http://142.147.161.125

and NOT
http://142.147.161.125/home/httpd/home/html/index.html

I am assuming that you set the documentroot to
/home/httpd/html.

What you would do is since you seemd that you don't want to use the old card
again.... Just pull the old card out, stick the new one in. then run
"netconf" w/o ", Thats the same program/utility as the network config in
Linuxconf, thats just short and JUST the network. when you go in you would
setup your new card if kzudu (spelling) didn't set it up. Also kzudu would
also, if you have it set to run at start-up, say that your old card has been
removed, want to remove it from the system? Thats just a few way(s) of how
to do that. You may need to recompile your kernel for adding the new card,
for the module for it. If you didn' recompile, and your still using the
"stock" kernel, the one that comes with it, Then I don't think you need to
worry about anything, I believe on the "stock" kernels they include every
NIC driver option.
