I am using Remote Administrator with wine to maintain my other windows PC's, I reciently switched one of them the Mandrake, it's a cruncher, no monitor, and am curious if there something like this for Linux????

I tryed OpenOffice on the kids PC, got sick of it. But I compiled the kernel for about 2 hours, then ran CPUroastK7 for a couple more hours. Before that I ran Memtest86+ for hours, then ran 15 pass's on test 5 and 7. SHould be good to go.......:D:D

Does compiling the kernel put on the CPU????? I want to test one of my PC's, just bumped it up a notch, to make sure for stability. I found a little script that compiles the kernel over and over and over. I also have CPU burn for K7. Thought about running them at the same time..... Any thoughts??????

nvaudio works fine here, just follow the directions to configure it...... http://download.nvidia.com/XFree86/nforce/...leaseNotes.html

Figured it out, I need'd to install : Name: libgtk+2.0_0-devel Version: 2.4.9-9mdk Size: 14110 KB EDIT: Sorry about putting in wrong forum.......

Can someone help here...... Everytime I try to install something from source files the needs GTK+2.0 I get errors???? MCC tells me I have GTK+2 installed: Name: gtk+2.0 Version: 2.4.9-9mdk Size: 7880 KB I downloaded the newest Gaim, and configure failed, this is what it tells me: checking for GTK+ - version >= 2.0.0... no *** Could not run GTK+ test program, checking why... *** The test program failed to compile or link. See the file config.log for the *** exact error that occurred. This usually means GTK+ is incorrectly installed. configure: error: *** GTK+ 2.0 is required to build Gaim; please make sure you have the GTK+ *** development headers installed. The latest version of GTK+ is *** always available at http://www.gtk.org/. Any ideas?????? Thanks for your time. [moved from Software by spinynorman]

I am happy to report, I reinstalled, and with a bit of finaggling I got the 66.29 drivers installed........ Please dont ask how, cause I am not sure....... I reinstalled also on my test machine, and it went off without a hitch, but when it came to my PC, the hoops I had to jump threw........wew..... https://mandrivausers.org/index.php?showtopic=22912&hl=nvidia The above post helped a bit, but like I said, I am not sure what I did to get it to work. On the test machine, I uninstalled the driver and the nvidia-kernel with MCC, then installed the kernel-source, then went too init 3, and installed the driver and BANG it worked. This machine was a bit more complicated, I started to take notes on what steps I did here, but I got a bit frustrated and, well.......heh So, a big thankyou to everyone who helped/tryed to help........

Smorgje: I found your post, that didnt help. But no matter. I have decided to reinstall. Now I have a diffrent question, if I burn the stuff in: file:/home/ziggy/.thunderbird/******.default will that save my email?????? I was thinking not formating my Home partition, but, I did this on the kids PC and it really screwed things.....

That was a big waste of time........... Absoultly nothing worked........ Half temped to throw the d*mn PC's right out the window........

I forgot, I also have 10.1 duel boot on the kids PC, for testing and whatnot. I forgot all about that.....heh I gonna play around on there and see what I can do, then post back the results

Ok, heres what I got......

Ok, I see the 61.11 in MCC remove, I might try to uninstall the 61.11 and nVidia-kernel then try to install the drivers. Think thats a good idea??????

Ok, so the quickest and easiest fix would be too reinstall eh??????? heh (microsoft has spoiled me....heh) Thats what I have installed, they match, unless I am missing something. I think the 61.11's were installed automaticly when I did the last fresh install. I dont understand what your telling me to do AussieJohn. I have only successfully installed the nVidia video drivers twice, once to the newest, then HL2 wouldn't run, so I installed the 66.29's, (now I cant find my smokes.....AHHHHHH!!!!!). Then I reinstalled cause I broke something else.....:whoops: I am beginning to go crazy........heh I can post my X86Config if it could help getting GL working without installing the newer nVidia driver. The Kernel_source I listed above came from MCC remove programs.

Tryed that....... bash: nvidia-update: command not found.....:(

I am trying to install nVidi 66.29 drivers. The installer keeps telling me I dont have the right Kernel source installed. This is what I have installed: Name: kernel-source-2.6 Version: 2.6.8.1-12mdk Size: 186389 KB Running the uname -a gives me this: Linux localhost 2.6.8.1-12mdk #1 Fri Oct 1 12:53:41 CEST 2004 i686 AMD Athlon XP-M unknown GNU/Linux I currently have 61.11 drivers installed. I want to update the drivers because I somehow broke the 61.11's GLXINFO: name of display: :0.0 display: :0 screen: 0 direct rendering: No I discovered they were broke when I tryed to play some BF1942 last night, GLXGears runs, but slower then I remember: 31941 frames in 5.0 seconds = 6388.200 FPS 31947 frames in 5.0 seconds = 6389.400 FPS 31947 frames in 5.0 seconds = 6389.400 FPS I have been going insane here trying to fix the current install, or installing the newer drivers. I am using the PowerPack install version of 10.1, I got it from a friend who got sick of playing with it. I notice I could get the nVidia-kernel from thac's, should I try this????? I also tryed with the kernel-source-path with the drivers, I am assuming, they are in /usr/src/linux-***. I also searched everywhere I could think of, but with no luck, hence this post.........:D Thanks for your time.........

Yes, the printer "was" shared on the windows Machine. Last night I got rather PO'd, and temporarly moved it to the Linux machine, took all of 5 minutes and had it shared on the network, and installed on the Windows machines. Might move it back, once I get the shares set up for my Dad and my Kids. (It almost sound like I am living with my parents and have a family of my own, well, I kind of do. I purchased a upper and lower duplex, and my parents live downstairs. Just thought I would clarify....:D)

Can someone please explain why nothing will see the printer, which is hooked to the kids XPee machine, except for this: [slagathor@localhost slagathor]$ smbclient -L kids -N Domain=[KIDS] OS=[Windows 5.1] Server=[Windows 2000 LAN Manager] Sharename Type Comment --------- ---- ------- IPC$ IPC Remote IPC D$ Disk Default share print$ Disk Printer Drivers D Disk ADMIN$ Disk Remote Admin BOINC Disk C$ Disk Default share Printer Printer HP DeskJet 882C (Copy 1) Domain=[KIDS] OS=[Windows 5.1] Server=[Windows 2000 LAN Manager] Server Comment --------- ------- Workgroup Master --------- ------- I really want to use it on here, and hooking it direct to Linux box is not an option...:( I can browse the files on the pc, change files on the pc, but cant get to the printer...... (Sorry if I sounded rude in last post, I appologise if offended anyone)

Well that didnt work, also, I could browse the windows shares, but couldnt see the printer. I did this: smbclient -L kids -N and sure enough the printer showed up there, but thats the only place. I am reinstalling, maybe that will help......heh

Or, any assistance for that matter......heh I am trying to get a folder on my PC for my Dad so he can upload stuff for me to burn to cd. Anywase, I have Samba installed, I can see if from the XPee box's but I cant get in, which I figured was normal, but, I try to do the smbpasswd -a dad I get this error. [root@localhost slagathor]# smbpasswd -a dad New SMB password: Retype new SMB password: Failed to initialise SAM_ACCOUNT for user dad. Does this user exist in the UNIX password database ? Failed to modify password entry for user dad So then I try the smbuseradd and I get command not found...... Any suggestions.??!??!?!!!!

Just tryed to install from Norlug and same thing happines...... But this time I cant fire it up from console. This is just crazy!!!!!!!!!!!!! EDIT: OOOOHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! It is working now, no clue why.........heh

I will keep trying, although it's just crazy......heh Got my vid drivers installed with minimal hair removal, But cant get Firefox to work this time.....ROTFL!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Ok, got sick of trying.....hehe Opera works great......:D:D

Welp, tryed your suggestion, and tryed what the other thread said to do, I am stumped. The only way to fire it up is to su to root and fire it up that way. And that sux....heh I will keep trying, plus I am able to look at kids PC once and see whats up on there. Cause it works great over there. (daughter finally of it...heheee)

I hope this is in the right spot....... Ok, installed 10.1. Then decided to use FireFox browser. Downloaded the tar installer, everything went fine, but I can only launch it from a console logged in a root. Any ideas what I have done wrong???? I also have 10.1 on the kids PC and installed the same way (almost positive I did it the same way :D ) and everything works great. Anyideas????? Thanks for your time....
