Gnome desktop

2000-04-12 Thread Sandy Shapiro
7;t get installed. I used dselect to check the CD Rom, but I can't find any Gnome related files that are uninstalled. Are they listed under another name? Is there some other way to complete the installation? I kind of enjoy using Gnome, and I would like to find and install the rest of it. Thanks, Sandy Shapiro

ppp problem

server. Ifconfig says that ppp is running. Wvdial says ppp negotiation detected; starting pppd. Everything seem to be working except I can't communicate with the ISP. Is there something I can edit to fix this? Is more information needed? Thanks, Sandy Shapiro

printer in staroffice

2000-04-08 Thread Sandy Shapiro
I am using Debian "slink." I installed StarOffice 5.1. When I go to print something, I get pages of what looks like lists. I went to Printer Setup and tried installing different printers, but it didn't make any difference -- I just get pages and pages of these lists. The printer works fine other

I have a computer where Linux will not recognize the parallel port. (OS/2 and DOS do recognize the port). I tried changing CMOS so that IRQ 7 is Legacy/ISA instead of PNP, but that didn't make any difference. Any other suggestions? Thanks.

Desktop

2000-03-19 Thread Sandy Shapiro
wm95, olwm, icewm, wmaker, and scwm. One of them automatically loads at boot up. I have searched through the various applications in the window manager, but I see no desktop. Do I have to edit a configuration file somewhere? Or do I need to go through the dselect process again? Thanks, Sandy Shapiro

I installed the Debian/GNU Linux package. It seems to be working (XWindows, Mozilla, PPP). But I can't get the printer to work. I have a HP LaserJet 1100. What are the steps for installing it or getting it to work? Thanks, Sandy Shapiro
