Just wondering if anyone could tell me how long Pardus 2008.2 will be supported?  It seems to fit a lot of my needs more so than the 2009 version does, so it'd be great to know if I could hold onto it for a while longer or not.

 I never knew about that command and after using it everything seems to be running fine.  I also switched my repos just incase.  Thanks for the help!

I've recently installed Pardus 2009 and get the following error message when trying to update Pardus packages or install a new package:



check_timestamp regets are not implemented in this ver of urlgrabber. Please report this.

           

          I've looked around the forums but was unable to find anyone with a similar problem.  I tried using pisi clean and rebuilding the database but neither of those had any effect.  Any help with my issue would be greatly appreciated.

       I was wondering where I could find the download location for Pardus KDE4? The main Pardus download location doesn't seem to link to it.  Am I totally missing it, or is there another spot to get it from? 

  Just a quick question, I was wondering if I needed to enable the firewall that comes with Pardus?  After looking a little I saw that linux distros are already protected by something called iptables.  Does Pardus have this, and if it does, do I need to turn on the firewall that Pardus has?

          Turns out the program was actually available through the package manager.  Thanks for the help.. I need to get use to having a handy location to get programs 

         Thank you , I don't really know anything about this myself, so wasn't sure if I'd find the right stuff via google.  I think I'll probably just wait instead of messing around with the iPod.

"Using Amarok to transfer music to iPhone 3G and iPod Touch 2G (models introduced in 2008) and all other models of iPod Touch and iPhone that have been upgraded to firmware 2.x requires the phone to be jailbroken, you must edit the file /System/Library/Lockdown/Checkpoint.xml on the phone, finding the key DBVersion and changing its value from a 4 to a 2[1]. Then follow the instructions as for firmware 1.x (sshfs or FUSE)."

       I've tried some of the other methods without much success.  I want to try this way, but I don't really understand how I go about editing the file.  Is this required for the iPod 2.x software as well, and if it is, how do I go about doing this?

I tried downloading a program earlier to use, but the install file was in the format .deb.  Is there a way to install .deb files, or maybe convert them into a file-type that Pardus can install?

   Thanks

       Is there a way to minimize a program that is in full screen mode, and is there a way to kill a program that stops functioning in full screen mode?

Thank you, that's exactly what I wanted to know.  I'll try some of these and get back to you on how it goes.

Just wondering if there is a way to be able to access my iPod Touch in Pardus without using iTunes.  I've searched around a little and have not really found anything, so was wondering if someone could suggest something.

  Thank you so much! It's working perfectly now.

         After installing this, I noticed that the card didn't seem to be performing right.  After searching a little I found a way to check how it was performing using a command 'glxgears' inside the Terminal program.  For some reason, instead of the framerate being in the four or five thousands, it's only a constant 200.  Any chance you might know what's wrong?
