| 187547 | 2003-10-29 07:44:00 | I have been setting up A RedHat box as a webserver (still can't get ftp working tho) I have installed Internet Explorer 6 as well as Opera on RedHat for testing my websites & scripts, I have to keep minimising them to access the www folder underneath to make changes etc then maximise to view the changes. All was well until a wee while ago & now everytime I minimize a window it completly disappears. They are still running cause when I try to open a 2nd instance the machine starts to crawl & crashes. My 2 questions are how do I get a minimized app back onto the panel/taskbar & what is a quick way to view running apps/processes & kill them (nicely of course) Thanks |

You will get a skull & crossbones cursor and by simply clicking on the offending open application, it dies :D |

| 187549 | 2003-10-29 11:02:00 | I think that's a KDE-only thing with Ctrl + Alt + Esc. I've got a launcher that runs "xkill" in my taskbar. Just click on the Icon on the taskbar and the stray window/application and its gone. Are you sure that you're not also swapping between Virtual Desktops, and have set the Panel to show only the current desktops windows? |

| 187550 | 2003-10-29 12:52:00 | Thanks guys, man this Linux is a bit of a curve isn't it? I've just got msql up & running with 1/2 dozen databases took a few goes but now it's working it's great. Just got PShop 7.0 & Office XP running as well, it's slowly starting tpo take shape. Thanks for all your help over the last week. |

| 187551 | 2003-10-30 03:09:00 | When I'm using a GUI, I like to have a command line session going too. You could use an editor (joe, pico, ...) on your html files and switch between the sessions by Ctrl/Alt/F2 for the command line, and Ctrl/Alt/F7 for the X-Window GUI. You can run top in the command line session --- that has a "k" to kill tasks .. or just "killall taskname". :D |

| 187552 | 2003-10-30 05:38:00 | Thanks Graham, good tip, I'll give it a go. While I'm here, kudzu picks up my conextant winmodem on bootup & installs it. When I use RedHat network configuration to make a connection it can't find the modem, I run Hardware detection utilty & it doesn't find or list it either. But when I tried KPPP to make my connection, bingo on the net in 5 mins. Any ideas? not a biggie as I've got my connection, I was just curious as to why the other more obvious choices failed |

| 187553 | 2003-10-30 11:53:00 | Try lspci to get more specific details, and then look up and download Scanmodem.gz (Small 100kb odd tool). Getting an updated driver may help. Use chkconfig or redhat-config-services to stop Kudzu otherwise. |

| 187554 | 2003-10-31 00:33:00 | I don't like kudzu. :D I don't like "clever" software, which knows better than me. I prefer to tell the computer things. You'll find the command line is very nice to use for repetitive things (try the up-arrow for commandline recall, editing and reuse). |
