simple commandline is ps -A or top

From the commandline or terminal use the chkconfig and service commands. To find out more about them, from a commandline do service --help chkconfig --help

sorry about that, I was thinking gtk2-2.6 :woops:

sure it does always has for me

there is a fluxbox in contrib which is where urpmi was looking and could not connect using curl curl is the app that urpmi uses to browse and download packages optionally, you can tell it to use wget but curl is just fine the command to update your entire urpmi database is urpmi.update -a try again because the fluxbaox rpm is there and it is the same version. curl, as the error indicates, just couldn't connect. mirror must have been down. It happens.

forgot to tell you, if you haven't figured it out yet, that to avoid this, if you want to overwrite your current glib, you compile with ./configure --prefix=/usr so that the app or lib will install to /usr/lib instead of /usr/local/lib. /usr/local is the default for tarballs.

some people like to have fun and learn Gtk can't find glib because /usr/local/lib is not in /etc/ld.so.conf by default. You have to add it and run ldconfig from the commandline. Just make sure you put the right path to glib in /usr/local there. This is how you can install different versions of dependencies to get the app you want, which is sometimes necessary if you play around a lot. You can also tell the app or lib you are compiling where these other apps and libs are. Check out ./configure --help /etc/ld.so.conf include ld.so.conf.d/*.conf /usr/lib/qt3/lib /usr/X11R6/lib /usr/local/lib

gconf-editor>apps>magicdev and disable everything see if that helps

that's why I said 'base devel' :D

when is that last time you installed mandrake, opened rpmdrake, searched for kernel, selected kernel-source? guess what happens and what has always happened? (I've ran mandrake for over 3 years) you get a popup asking if it is ok to intall its deps ;) the kernel-source is useless without make, autoconf etc. glad to here it is on the cds now

kernel-source and its devel dependencies is what I was referring to I didn't know or don't know if it is now included or not and was just stating it should be, but that's obvious.

ho ho ho nice! (except the blown up shots with bad font)

I agree. Hacked rpms are the worsed thing you can do to an rpm distro! I disagree, most need the base devel at minimum for drivers. Nvidia etc... aslo, then, looks like mandrake needs to go back to 4 cd's ;) and quit spimp'n on the average user in hopes to make a sale ;) I also noticed, with your first terminal output, that you were installing an .src.rpm. Again, remove everything in the rpm cache and urpmi config, get a real mandrake mirror, and try again. There's nothing wrong with rpm distros or urpmi, once you learn the rules.

create a new user any name will do just so you can view the initial files that are created and know the few that should not be deleted technically most of those can be deleted but you will at least get a better idea of what you can do in a users directory

How big is your swap and how much RAM do you have? It sounds to me like you either need a larger swap or a second swap depending on which is easier to acheive.
