sjaglin Posted November 4, 2009 Report Share Posted November 4, 2009 Hi, I have dowloaded the version 10.0 overnight from the official Mandriva website (via torrent). Nothing about it here nor on distrowatch, strange isn't it? Stef Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

David Batson Posted November 4, 2009 Report Share Posted November 4, 2009 Anne of Mandriva says that the Website will be updated once the Powerpack Edition is released. Had a couple of bugs to sort out apparently. Powerpack is supposed to be released sometime today. In other words: "We will sell no wine before it's time." ;) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
scarecrow Posted November 4, 2009 Report Share Posted November 4, 2009 They should wait for ten days or so... to have the new, shiny KDE 4.3.3 release included. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CygnusX1 Posted November 4, 2009 Report Share Posted November 4, 2009 I have dowloaded the version 10.0 overnight from the official Mandriva website (via torrent). Nothing about it here nor on distrowatch, strange isn't it? are you talking about mandrake 10.0 or mandriva 2010.0? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
K Bergen Posted November 4, 2009 Report Share Posted November 4, 2009 It seems that the Free-Dual is not a hybrid ISO so you can't use Mandriva-seed to write it to a USB drive. dd should still work with it though. Ken Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tux99 Posted November 4, 2009 Report Share Posted November 4, 2009 I have already installed it and also helped spread the news: http://www.avsforum.com/avs-vb/showthread.php?t=1193453 I must say, my first impression is very positive, KDE 4.3.2 is starting to be good enough to be a valid substitute for KDE 3.5 and Pulseaudio seems to work without problems so far (unlike in every other distro I tried so far).

SilverSurfer60 Posted November 4, 2009 Author Report Share Posted November 4, 2009 Well on the whole I found the install a pleasing experience and the distribution a good one. However I have come across what seems to be a broken hal-daemon. It fails to mount the cdrom's. Whilst it identifies that a cd/dvd has been inserted the only option given is to copy with k3b. I am unable to mount either of my dvd writers no matter what I try. I have had a good look on the Mandriva website and found a good few posts about the problem but mainly about usb devices. There is no entries in the logs either, so I am a bit stuck with this one. I'll keep trying though. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tux99 Posted November 4, 2009 Report Share Posted November 4, 2009 Have you added the PLF repos yet and installed libdvdcss? When I insert a DVD I get the option to play it with Dragon Video player (in KDE4) and playback works fine. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SilverSurfer60 Posted November 4, 2009 Author Report Share Posted November 4, 2009 Not tried that one but I'll give it a go. I don't think that will mount none dvd's though. Maybe I am missing a library. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
scarecrow Posted November 5, 2009 Report Share Posted November 5, 2009 (edited) Should be a HAL issue, since we had some of the same in ArchLinux. I guess nobody really cares about HAL issues/bugs, since it will be soon deprecated - it already has in *buntu 9.10, where it's replaced by DeviceKit. The latter ain't perfect, but surely enough is better documented and slightly easier to write rules for it.

SilverSurfer60 Posted November 5, 2009 Author Report Share Posted November 5, 2009 I think you are right there Scarecrow. I have it working somewhat now, don't ask me how as I don't know what I did. It's still hit & miss with ordinary cd's but dvd's are ok. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
