Will there be a DVD version?

Hello. When i log out of KDE, the screen goes blank (which is good) then a desktop appears for 7 seconds or so, then log out proceeds back to the gdm (as it is supposed to.) Any ideas why? [moved from Installing Mandrake by spinynorman]

Hey all, my usb mouse response is v slow - and very annoying. I have played with the settings - and cannot seem to get it going as good as it was in 10.1. have tried mousedrake - and chosen usb mouse microsoft explorer (cause i have one!) and the shell reports: FATAL: Module hid not found. FATAL: Module hid not found. FATAL: Module mousedev not found. FATAL: Module mousedev not found. i'm pretty stuck now! oh yeah. i have the mouse plugged into motherboard usb socket. thankyou!

Just what i was after - thanks

to be honest - i just want to see my network in/out usage - nothing else.

Hey all. I use adsl (device ppp0). Network monitor shows my network to be up - but when you look at the main network_monitor display - there is no tab to view ppp0. This means that i cannot monitor traffic. I have tried to look for any relevant commands under network_monitor --help, and draknet_monitor --help, but am no closer. Any ideas? Is there any other network monitor applications you would recommend? tia

hmm - i'm kinda getting outta my depth - but for no kde perhaps you can edit /etc/inittab and set the default run level to 3 - at least you'll have a full system - but no gui this was solved by moving the kcmlaptoprc from root/.kde/share/config to /home/user/.kde/share/config

thought it was the acpi causing problems? make sure you remove acpi=ht (if you have it)

hey... trying to remember this, but.. use your install dvd and choose repair (i think) this gets you to a repair gui screen. There is an option that gets you into the command line. Once this is done - look through the file system (go through /mnt directory - and you should see your hda or hdb - whatever you installed linux to. from there you can vi /etc/lilo.conf and make you changes - for example: image=/boot/vmlinuz label="linux" root=/dev/hdb1 initrd=/boot/initrd.img append="noapic resume=/dev/hdb5 splash=silent" vga=788 read-only make changes, save, go back to repair-gui and reboot - i think... - (not been using linux too long - but this kinda makes sense.)

hey dude... first check what kernel you are running. type uname-r you need to install the kernel-source for that kernel. if you have a your urpmi setup type (as root) urpmi kernel-source if it gives you a choice of kernel source, choose the one that is correct for your kernel. then go through the steps to run your nvdia installer.

very amusing

shall check all, and try a LOT more patience! thanks - i'll let you know <edit> one of the rpm sites was playing up.. reconfigured them all - all ok - thanks for the help. </edit>

Hi all, After kde3.4 update (thanks Thac!) unable to perform urpmi --wget --auto-select --no-verify-rpm tried just urpmi --auto-select but all that happens is terminal sits there and does ...nothing!! tried to remove rpm database with rm -rf /var/lib/rpm/__db* and then rebuild it - but still no joy... got the following media added: [/var/lib/urpmi/synthesis.hdlist.jpackage_www.mirrorservice.org_i586_2005LimitedEdition.cz] [/var/lib/urpmi/synthesis.hdlist.updates_ftp.surfnet.nl_i586_2005LimitedEdition.cz] [/var/lib/urpmi/synthesis.hdlist.plf-free.cz] [/var/lib/urpmi/synthesis.hdlist.plf-nonfree.cz] [/var/lib/urpmi/synthesis.hdlist.updates.cz] [/var/lib/urpmi/synthesis.hdlist.main.cz] [/var/lib/urpmi/synthesis.hdlist.contrib.cz] [/var/lib/urpmi/synthesis.hdlist.jpackage.cz] [/var/lib/urpmi/synthesis.hdlist.thac.cz] [/var/lib/urpmi/synthesis.hdlist.contrib_ftp.nluug.nl_i586_2005LimitedEdition.cz] [/var/lib/urpmi/synthesis.hdlist.distrib_ftp.nluug.nl_i586_2005LimitedEdition.cz] but after kde3.4 update (thanks Thac!) unable to perform urpmi --wget --auto-select --no-verify-rpm tried just urpmi --auto-select but all that happens is terminall sits there and does ...nothing!! tried to remove rpm database with rm -rf /var/lib/rpm/__db* and then rebuild it - but still no joy... any ideas??

I aint complaining baby!!! - You guys always help when you can (and one day - i may be able to return the favour!!)

Hey all. Just installed LE2005 (from 10.2 rc2) and all seemed ok. When machine boots it occasionally goes straight to black screen and login - but no x! So - i login as root, init3 then init 5 and all is ok. reboot - all fine for a few reboots, then it happens again!! i have attached the output of var/log/messages for 1 boot. thanks! <edit> normally when someone posts, you get a reply quite quickly. I guess this was a problem many haven't seen before!! So - i bit the bullet - reinstalled mandrake - and all ok!. Thanks to all those who looked in anyhow!! </edit> mess.txt
