Well after playing around with it I tried to install Kubuntu a variety of ways, and it either locked or wouldn't boot. I think there is something wrong with the hardware because I have other PCs running Mandriva and Kubuntu with no problems. So I guess have to stick with Windows on that PC making me think bad hardware + bad OS = working PC?

Ok I got 2008 up and runnig great but I have one problem. When I try to enable Twinview and make the TV clone screen I get nothing. Each time I try to apply or detect displays I just get a flicker on the TV. Does anyone know how I can correct this? Also the PChas an nvidia GeForce2 MX 400 and I am trying to configure this through nvidia-settings. [moved from Software by spinynorman]

I just installed Mandriva 2008 on two PCs. Both installations were done using the Mandriva 2008 mini free disk. On one PC I setup my WiFi card quick, easy, no problems on the other PC I try to setup the WiFi card, pick the Windows driver then I am told the ndiswrapper GUI cannot be found. When I tried to setup this through konsole certain commands would lock the Konsole up. Both PCs are running Airlink awlh3025 wireless cards. Anyone know a solution to this issue?

I installed RC1 figuring I could start over again but with RC1 DOSBox isn't in the packages list so I'm at a bit of a stand still. Also after a bad shutdown on my laptop my Windows version of DOSBox is giving me the same problem.

I just installed Mandriva 2008 RC1 and now I'm getting the same errors when trying to setup my wireless card as I did in beta 1. In beta 2 it installed quick and problem free. Is it me that is messing up or did RC1 jump back to beta 1?

The only card I ever had a problem with was the built in SiS video on my lappy and that only happened on Madrake 10.1. It has worked fine since then. Also I have a number of nVidia cards that have never given me a problem with any version I have used. So I would have to recommend an nVidia card for sure.

It is Mandriva 2008 beta 2 and the DOSbox the was included in the Mandriva 2008 beta 2 DVD it's either 0.71 or 0.72. Ill find out for sure next time I turn on that box.

I'm a bit of linux novice so the system is setup at the defaults for the most part. I am running KDE though.

This is the first time I've used DOSbox under linux so I don't know if this is a program issue or just an issue with the OS version. But when I try to fullscreen DOSbox the screen goes black and DOSbox stays the same size but centers on the screen. Is the a way I can do a real fullscreen? [moved from Software by spinynorman]

Okay, I got past the page that kept closing FIrefox, but then the next page closed the program. I then used Konqueror and had no problems with the site. I guess the site is just not cooperating with Firefox.

On one page Firefox completely closed. I hit the link and a second later the window was gone. I tried this a few times. Then on another site it brought up the open with/save as window.

I recently installed Mandriva 2007 onto one of my computers. It works fine except when I am using Firefox and goto a .php page it either tries to download the file or it closes Firefox. Can someone tell me what's worng and give me an idea of how to fix it. Thanks.

I went back into my fstab with vi and got it all fixed. Thanks for the help.

Its telling me that nano: command not found

I was trying to get hdc1 to mount so I added a line to the Fstab file and now I can't boot the system. I get a message about a messed up superblock and I cant seem to get past it what should I do?
