My router is listing Ping of Death messages, seems it happens when using iChat AV beta. Anyone have any details on this? It's not alot of packets. Sent from my internal ip to an ip outside my network. Don't know if it's an AIM server or not. Tks,

My TiBook 1GHz with 10.2.6 seems to be runing just fine, but something strange has started happening. When ctrl-clicking on the Finder icon in the Dock, it says "Finder Not Running." Also, there's no black triangle below it to indicate that it's running. Logging out/in does nothing...

It doesn't look like PostgreSQL is listed in the software available through Fink. Does anyone know where to get it? I had a version installed awhile ago, but I *think* it's not compatible somehow with Fink. Tks,

All of a sudden, XMMS stopped working. It keeps giving me the error message: Couldn't open audio. Please check that you have the correct output plugin selected, etc... I have the same eSound Output Plugin 1.2.7 that I've always had. Any ideas?

Just wanted to confirm, can KDE and Gnome co-exist peacefully using X11 and Fink? Also, I've got KDE installed and just want to compare it to Gnome. I'm not sure which Gnome package to install. Any clues?

I just noticed that the Universal Access pref pane is listed under System AND under Other. Any idea how to correct this?

On Sunday I re-built my 1GHz TiBook, backing up and re-installing everything. It went quite smoothly, and is running faster as a result. One problem has surfaced. Before the re-install, I was able to open a password protected .dmg file and launch and edit an Excel document I keep there. Now...

I downloaded Blackbox window manager and compiled it, then created the ~/.xinitrc file and put this code in it: xterm -geometry 72x34+100+40 & exec blackbox xterm windows open now without a titlebar at all, and a very plain contextual menu. Not sure if this is correct or not. I then run...

About 3 weeks ago and again tonight, my 1GHz TiBook dropped to a strange shutdown/sleep mode. Everything was working fine, then *poof* the screen went black, power was plugged in but unlit, the sleep light was pulsing but the machine would not wake, power button did nothing. To make a long story...

Got it installed and it works just fine, with X Forwarding to boot. Now, how do I get the KDE "taskbar" if that's what it's called, to appear? I've found all kinds of options for it, but (seemingly) no way to turn it on. Thanks!

I've got what seems to be an extra folder named Desktop at the root level of my startup HD on my Tibook. Not to be confused with the OS9 Desktop alias. On another machine on which I just re-installed 10.2.6, there is no such folder. I've had the Tibook since Dec., and the folder is dated...

OK, this really should be working! Host and client machines are running X11 beta 3 host is running Gimp installed via fink, it runs fine locally I'm using a wireless router/switch, host wired, client wireless, and am using MAC address filtering for security. No firewalls anywhere. (if...

I installed a version of Gimp in January that is incompatible with Fink, and would like to remove it and go with Fink. It's Gimp 1.2.3, I got it off VersionTracker, it was an Installer package. The Receipt file is dated 1/7/03. I'm running Apple's X11 beta 3. Hope this is enough info...

On my TiBook DiskCopy works fine, as it has for some time on my B&W G3 with G4 upgrade. All of a sudden today the B&W will not mount a .dmg image. I consistently get the error: "Filename.dmg" failed to mount due to error 95. (no mountable file systems) This happens with every file I try...

Here's the error I get when i attempt a Copy command to load data into an existing Table: dgdb=# copy customer from '/Users/dg/Desktop/Customers.txt'; ERROR: COPY command, running in backend with effective uid 502, could not open file '/Users/dg/Desktop/Customers.txt' for reading. Errno =...

My main (root?) directory was set to read-only for awhile, and I don't know why. I created several folders there recently, then could not modify them for several days. Now, it's read/write again. Any ideas?
