Thanks, atolboo.  Yes, and I find some with this spelling in Michigan still, but no go with sharphorn.  Thanks again!

Download was about 35 hours in total time, and it stalled out at the last 98.70%, so I paused the download, went back to bed, got up in the morning and restarted it.  It downloaded the remaining last bit and burned it with os x disk utility at 8x (slowest speed available for disk utility).

P.S. waf, I enjoy Jazz very much, though I do not know artist names, but am only familiar with songs and know what I like.  There is a type of jazz that is mellow and relaxing - I call it California jazz.  I like this type and also some of the more syncopated tunes, but lean more towards the Cal. jazz style.  Dv. Brubeck is one of my favourite artists.

More clues, as you can play as guest but not when you log in.  Hmm?

Don't have any other thing to suggest but what's already been suggested.  Maybe something got corrupted somewhere.  I don't like to tell you to reinstall, but sometimes reinstalling java or the browser gets rid of possible corrupted files.  Sometimes not.

Also, if you have another browser installed and with it you are able to play after logging in, then there's definitely something wrong with FF.  Is it FF 3.0 or 3.1? 

Lisa Marie

edited to add, that it could be a java certificate issue.  If you have Java Control Panel you can look for it there or check with pogo site information.  May be you need to be reissued a new one, just a guess.  Another thing to try - clear the browser cache and cookies and try again.

Jap, (Yep) waf, and I laughed.  What if I don't like Pardus?  
I've read too many good, surprisingly good things about Pardus, that I don't think I will be let down.   If I have any problems, you folks will be the first to hear from me.    

Michiel, Good to hear you say you are from the Netherlands.  I remember years ago that to be politically correct, one should say "I am a Hollander", or, " I come from Holland ".  I am envious that so many people in Europe can speak many languages.  Schooling is much better in Europe and the British Isles than in USA, in my opinion. 
My dad's mother was born in Michigan and was Dutch.  Her name was Dean Sharphorn, but I'm sure Sharphorn was respelled when her parents came to the US.  She didn't like 'Dean' and changed it to 'Donna'.  I only know a few words in Hungarian thanks to my mother.  My grandmother moved to Ohio area when she was 9 years old (from Budapest).  Her husband was a coal miner. 

Enough for my history.  I intend to introduce myself in the correct thread when I finally install Pardus.

If only it was!  No, but I have learned a few words.  I visit a Deutsch tobacco pipe forum now and then and have to use Leo dictionary or babblefish to translate.   It makes us Americans look stupid that we only know one language. Sad but true, as schools don't require one to learn a second language.  Not when I went to school, anyway and I grew up in southern California where there were many Mexican/Americans.  I never learned Spanish!

Thank you, Michiel, for the kind offer.  I will see how download goes first.
Liebe Grüße

Hi Michiel,

You can call me silly, but I don't have Pardus installed yet.  I like this forum.  Plus, I am stay-at-home hausfrau so I sometimes have plenty of time to spare with help and searching for answers. 

My husband said he couldn't download it for work-related reasons, so, I am doing it myself, the slow way, through dial-up.  I have 12 hours to go.  If this doesn't work, I can always buy Pardus 2007 version as I see it is at some of the distro disc websites for sell.  I am downloading the install cd 2008.1 version.  I tried to use iGetter download manager for os x, but it crashed my computer.  I am now using Speed Download and it is doing its job.  I will be sure to burn the .iso at the very slowest speed as is recommended.

as the ketchup commercial goes..." anticipation " 

Cheers,

Hi rosinskitg,

the " applet not init " hints to java problem.

You mentioned Pogo, and I remember reading about someone else having problems with it, too.  Pogo requires the latest java.

Don't know if it will help, but look over this to find out which version you are running and getting the latest version to run...if it is a java problem.  I'm in the dark, though, as I'm not using Pardus yet.  This is for ubuntu

Hey PhiX, that's a nice feature that I did not know about.  Still waiting on my Pardus download - I am doing it myself and have remaining 15 hours.     I can't wait!

Pardus.ca, you could also look in your home folder at your ~/.xsession.error file to see if it gives informations with konqueror.

A known problem with certain pages showing up odd is that one has
settings>configure konqueror>browser identification
set to something other than default Mozilla.  I know having it set it IE can cause odd page rendering at some sites.

Lisa Marie

hmm, if you are using KDE version 4, Konqueror has known rendering bugs at certain sites that previously worked fine.

Hi,

In upper right hand corner, click on the maximize window icon. 

Go to Settings>Save View Profile> and tick 'save window size in profile'.  Save. 

There are probably many other ways, which is why I like KDE so much!  To make the browser size smaller to your liking while it is currently open, move cursor to corner of the browser page until the cursor shows a right angle mark, and then you can move the page size to whatever you like, which I sometimes do if I want to shrink it down and look at something else that is "behind" the browser page. 

Regards,
Lisa Marie

Hello Heiko,

I don't have clamav installed, but I searched and found this and hope it helps.  Scroll down to sections about automatic updates.  You will need clamav-freshclam installed (from repos) and then a simple editing of a .conf file.

Hi,

One last how-to and then I'll leave you alone so you don't mess up your computer.   

So kde-label doesn't burn an image to a disc, but it does make stick-on label for a disc?   I don't know, but like I said, I don't even have such an optical drive that has this image printing capability.

 I can see, you need to install in certain order, or else it won't work correctly. 

The alternative to run gui as root -  gksudo (gnome) or  kdesu (kde).

Hi Michiel,

It helps me, though I don't use such software, but I never knew there was a KDE version.  Looks much simpler to install , and I do emphasize the word - install.    Thanks for that information.

Lisa Marie

Sorry about that Paul, but at least there's an alternative!  It may not share the same features, but give it a try to see how it works.

Hi,

I didn't know it was a third-party software from HP.  Maybe someday it will be put in the package manager repos. 

Here's another link.  It reads confusing.

Hi,

Nice work on the disc label! 

You could also try
kdesu 4L-gui

P.S.  at ubuntu forum loyelong suggests creating a group called, wheel.  You can read about it at this thread.

I'm a big fan of Opera as well and have been since 1997, I think that is when we first started to use it.  We first went on-line in '96 and immediately installed Netscape.  My husband had used IE at work, and said no way that we were going to use it on our home computer.  To this day, I've never used IE.  There was a few years when I found Opera to not be so good, about 3 years ago or so.  That is when I switched to Linux and started using Konqueror, as well as giving FF a try.  I then switched to SeaMonkey, for I always liked the easy html editor, Composer, that was originally in Netscape.  In the past three months I installed the latest 9.51 from their website and was very impressed.  Now I use Opera 9.52 and switch between it and Konqueror. 

I like the feature "copy and go to web address, as many urls are not hot links.  This way I skip a few steps (copy, go up to address bar, click, delete, paste, enter).  I also like 'resume' in their download manager.  The layout looks nice with the steel gray top.  Easy on the eyes.  I also like the once 'quick preferences' and 'delete private data'.  With Seamonkey, it takes three steps or more to clear cache, cookies, and history.  Konqueror was the first to have go>most often visited, a feature I think is now in FF.  Using dial-up I do notice each browser renders pages differently, so for some it may seem slow as to what they are used to seeing displayed in a certain order i.e. graphics first, then text, adverts first, then graphics, then text., etc.  I guess there are ways to manipulate these functions in all browsers.   There's a browser out there for all our needs.  Still, it would be intersting to see someone work on a new browser that didn't rely on gecko engine as all of the mozilla variants do.  I'm not a fan of plug-ins.

Lisa Marie

edited to add I stand correct.  Opera only has retransfer, which starts download from beginning if download is  interrupted.  Opera used to have resume.
