Yes logging in as a different use may be the right track. You could also download the utility called Psuedo which will let you run any program as root. This was the answer to my Toast quitting until the 5.2 update fixed it. I never figured out how to fix the problem with permissions and I...

How do you uninstall the drivers? I would like to try that and see if it sovles the problem.

I am having allot of trouble exporting mov files to mpeg2. Only once have I been successfull. All the other times Quicktime either just locks halfway through or quits unexpectedly. I have the apple mpeg encoder installed through and installation of DVD Pro I can use ffmpegx with no problem...

There are several Xtensions for Quark that add table functionality. Check out Quarks site. They have a good list of third party XTs.

Oh joy of joys! Updated my Toast 5.1.4 to 5.2 and finally the permissions problem causing it to crash on launch are gone. I had tried every solution mentioned in the past and nothing worked. The only thing that did work was using the pseudo utility to launch toast as root or logging in as root...

I doubt this is going to help you guys as you have already done clean installs and all but I will toss it in. I was experiencing Finder lock ups along with the following symptoms, using Go to server to connect to a win box would just hang forever, force did nothing either from the keyboard or...

Ok so I have to reply to my own post. The problem is a corrupted apple.com plist file. I didn't have time to pinpoint which one. I just deleted them all and restarted. The system built new ones. This may be the solution to many problems here. I didn't loose anything by doing this except a few...

I have had this problem for the third time in two weeks. The first week and a half of Jaguar was great. Then I ran into a problem with these two symptoms, Using go to server to connect to a windows machine just hangs for ever until I cancel it. Force Quit stops working both by keyboard...

I installed the SAMBA server on my G4 running 10.2. Everything seems to be fine but when I connect from XP to OSX it doesn't show any folders as shared. I went through the whole procedure in the read me setting up a new user called samba and deleting certain entries in Net Info but it didn't...

Twice I have had smb networking stop working along with the keyboard shortcut for force quit. Reinstalling using the upgrade option has fixed the problem. It is a real pain in the ass though. I have no idea how these two things may be connected but something in my system is getting corrupted.

hypocampers Can you provide some links on where to get the samba package a prefs pane you mentioned? I can't find them anywhere on the apple site. Thanks

I have been running Jaguar for weeks and connecting to windows machines using the built in samba system. I arrived to work this morning and found my mac had gone to sleep (screen saver running) and refused to wake up. First time I have ever had this problem. When I rebooted I found that I...

I find the 10.2 connection to Windoze XP works very well. It is even faster than Dave. But, because the 10.2 implementation of samba does not broadcast on the network, the 10.2 machine does not show up in the network neighborhood in XP. This makes connecting from XP to the mac very cumbersome...

I used the sudo psswd command to enable root. I wanted to delete the "previous system" folder after a Jaguar install because it was using 2 gigs of space and I didn't need it. Do I now have to turn root off somehow? I don't want to be logged in as root all the time. Also, I remember at...

This is a permissions problem but I don't know what files are causing the problem. If you log in as root your control click will probably work. I have similar problems with mail, ichat, sherlock and Toast. I can run them as root but not as a user the start and then quit immediately. It would...

Yes I tried this. No change. They state it is only for OS 10.1.5. I was hoping it would help but unfortunately it didn't

I tried performing a chown on the applications directory. This seemed to go through fine but did not solve the problem. What other specifics do you need to know? I am thinking it must be a file somewhere else than the application directory. Since ichat, mail, and sherlock have only the actual...

I have tried connection to an ftp server using the connect function in the go menu and typing in the ftp address. I encountered long delays after I was asked for the log in and password finally having to relaunch the finder. When the finder restarted I found the ftp site mounted on the...

I have a small ownership problem in Jaguar. When I installed Jaguar I created a dummy account I didn't intend to use. I found that many directory's ownership was transferred to this new account. This was not such a big problem since Jaguar makes it easy to change ownership. The only remaining...
