    Terminal and 8-bit chars

    Do you have 10.1 or 10.0. As far as I know there is some problems with the Swedish characters in 10.0 the solution is to use the english keyboard. I'm not sure if you can write ÖÄÅ in the terminal in 10.1 either but the terminal there should have support for unicode keymappings. /Hans Peter

    Not enough privileges-I'm the admin!?!

    Hi I dunno if this works but you can try it if you like. in the terminal try going to your user data folder. Then write sudo chmod -R 666 * this will give you read write access for all users. from this directory and all the sub directories and files.

    Pinging myself doesn't work

    I've tried to ping the DNS, computer on the same subnet and e-mail. Tonight I sent 66788 packets and none of them came through to localhost :-) I'm using a static IP now. With DNS, router address, netmask and IP filled in correctly. I didn't seem to get a domain name like you did when you...

    Pinging myself doesn't work

    Hi! First of all I want to thank all the nice people for their help. Ok, I tried to write in domainname at the CLI and I just got an empty line as return. So I typed. sudo domainname localdomain and set the domain name. How do you configure the domain? If I ping 127.0.0.1 it's the same...

    This is how you skip the Registration process!

    No, not in MacOS X because in the setup process you have to create an Admin user to be able to use the machine. Root is disabled by default and if you don't have any other user, how would you get into the machine in multiuser mode? Peggan PS. Have you tried Command Q yourself

    Pinging myself doesn't work

    Ok, I've checked localhost on both /etc/hosts and in the NetInfo Manager and they seems to be there. I have an Apache server on the machine aswell and when I can't ping myself I also couldn't access the webserver. I sit behind a big firewall in the company but I don't have my own firewall...

    Pinging myself doesn't work

    Hi! I have a pretty strange problem I can't ping localhost or 127.0.0.1. Pinging other computers works fine though. I usually can ping myself directly after a reboot of the system. But I can't connect the problem with any specific program I've opened. It works fine connecting to my ftp...

    Tricks the Dock CAN'T do

    Hi! I don't understand what's so speciall about the dock, I mean it does it's job and that kind of thing but it's not really advanced is it?

    Can't ping myself

    The problem is solved now, thanks for all the help. I configured and compiled a new Apache. Changed httpd.conf ServerName variable to localhost and after that I did't get any alerts. The ping was resolved after a restart it wasn't enough to login/logout I'm sorry bothering you.

    Can't ping myself

    Excuse me but what is the routing table. I'm kinda new to unix is that a file to edit? I think that the ping problem causes the apache to not work. Since it works sometimes I have checked both PHP and MySQL with apache and it seem to work fine. I can retrieve data from a dB and display it...

    Can't ping myself

    I have a strange problem I can't ping localhost or 127.0.0.1 not even as root. I get 100% packet loss. My Apache server does work sometimes but most of the times it just comes up with error 404. I guess that's because localhost doesn't work. I have an internet connection through a network...

    startup problems

    :confused: Strange thing this. Make sure you have Admin access or else click on the password and log in as an admin user. A good tip is to install 9.1 and X on different partitions. Then if you upgrade to startup disk 9.2.1 you will be able to choose X or 9.1 as startup partition if you press...
