dnelub,

atolboo is right. If you would like to help just pick a wiki entry that interests you and translate away. Your efforts are very much appreciated :-)

I recently switched from Firefox to Opera. Although Firefox 3 is a lot faster than FF2 I love the speed of Opera. It also has lots of things, like the ability to put the list of open tabs on the left hand side of the screen, that I really like. I also use Konqueror occasionally.

That's fantastic atolboo. I don't use ndiswrapper myself but it looks like a very concise guide to get windows wireless drivers to work under Pardus. Thanks!

I don't know the answer to your first question, but this thread has an overview of the pisi command line commands: http://worldforum.pardus-linux.nl/index.php?topic=28.0

There's also a very helpful set of slides about pisi which can be found on the pardus website:

Hope that helps,

I just found this review of Pardus 2008: http://celettu.wordpress.com/2008/07/02/pardus-2008/

The overall conclusion is quite positive. The author does however comment on the lack of good and up-to-date documentation both on the wiki and here in the forum.

Danho,

sorry, I have been away for a couple of days. So you've got MySQL up and running. That's great :-)

Using MySQL Admin you can creat a user data base like this:


To actually add a user do something like this:


You will have to tell Apache to use MySQL for authentification. I suggest you use the module mod_auth_mysql for this. After installing it edit your httpd.conf like so:

(Example)

If it's just a few users you want to give access to you site using MySQL is overkill. You're probably better off doing this using .htaccess and .htpasswd files. 

Just add these two files to your site. You can create .htaccess (don't forget the dot in the name!) using a text editor. Its contents should be something like this:


Put the file in the directory that you want to protect.

The other one, .htpasswd, contains the passwords for the users that are allowed access to the site.

You can create it with the follwoing command:


where your-user-name is the login name of the user you want to give access.  You will have to enter a password for that user. The htpasswd utility creates a file called .htpasswd in your current directory. Just move it to the directory you want to protect (like the .htaccess file).

If you want more info on this just search for .htaccess on google. That should give you plenty of useful links.
Hope this helps,
Alex

Andreas, you can press Ctrl F2 during boot to show the kernel and other boot messages.

Hmm, that's strange. GRUB can't "read" NTFS partitions but it doesn't really need to. It can chainload  the Windows bootloader that in its turn will start Windows. This will work with NTFS partitions too.

Anyway, whatever the problem was, it's good that you managed to install Pardus in the end ;-)

That's good news Andreas. Do you know *how* your friend solved his installation problem?

I hope you get it working Paul. If I find something relating to this issue I'll get back to you.
Should you find a solution throught the Dutch forum please post it here so that we can learn from it ;-)

Cheers,

Hmm, apart from reinstalling KDE I don't really know what to suggest...
If I understand correctly the system worked OK untill you did the update?

By the way: have you tried the Dutch pardus forums? They are quite an active bunch and might be able to help you.

Hi there Paul,

I'm by no means an expert when it comes to KDE but perhaps you could try rebuilding KDE's  configuration cache.
In a console window type

Hope this helps.

Andreas,

you mentioned "a lot of Error messages" in your previous post. Don't you get those anymore?
Could you tell us a bit more about the hardware you use?

Hmm, something to do with the upgrade I suspect. I take it you did a reboot after installing all the updates?
Do you still have this problem?
