[Cbsupport] krook konquerer.

Hi Maryen and others,

I will attempt to answer some of your queries, however  I am going to start 
with the last one.

This one tells me that your modem is not behaving like a modem should. I 
think we will have to look at replacing it or testing it at CBank.

Are you using Konqueror to open these cards..?.If this is the case - perhaps 
use Netscape or Mozilla.

To do this - instead of just clicking on the file within KMail - RIGHT click 
on the file and a menu will appear. From here you can choose OPEN WITH.

When the OPEN WITH dialogue box appears - you want to type netscape

If these problems are happening in Netscape - then maybe we need to take a 
look at your system and the Konqueror configuration. Is there anyone on this 
list that has had experience with this?

Okay - yes you do all that the instructions say - I have done this myself. 
When the box with the files opens - what you can try doing is - save the 
files into /usr/lib/netscape/plugins/

The only way i can work out how to do it in Konq is by dragging a dropping 
the 2 required files. When doing it this way you need to have your 
filemanager open (also Konq). 

When you open up the file manager you will be in your own home directory. 
DONT save the files there!

Look in the left pane (the right pane has your files in it)...find the root 
directory link. Click on the + button to expand that option out.

Locate the directory usr - click on that...

Locate the directory bin - click on that

Locate the directory netscape - click on that

Locate the directory plugins and stop there.

Drag and Drop the file libflashplayer.so from the macromedia download to the 
plugins directory location.

Similarly - do this same action for the ShockwaveFlash.class file

Wallah...you have installed flash. :) 

Next time you run Netscape (if it is open - close it and restart it) it 
should be Flash enabled. 

For Konq to use the plugins - we have to do a little bit of extra work.

In Konq - go to the Settings Menu on the Main Menu bar. Choose Configure 
Konqeuror. When the Config dialogue box comes up - in the left pane choose 
netscape plugins (it is right at the bottom!). Once you have selected this - 
in the right view pane - you should see an option to scan for new plugins. 
You want to do this. Upon scanning for new plugins - it should detect the 
flash ones and update the browser config.

This could be related to the modem errors or a slow connection. 

I think we will have to look at these issues at Computerbank - can you give 
us a call to arrane a time with us.

Hope some of this helps, if anyone else can give advice on these issues - 
please do so.
