Well if it's for Linux (I assume you're sure about it) then don't use wine. What's the error message if you try to launch the file from a terminal?

Edit: To one of the admins: How can I delete my post?

I like this one. The only thing left for me is the find button on the menu bar. The search function should be on the icon bar too. But not as a button. Put a text field and radio buttons or combo box there. And make that text field default (if you can setup tab order in Glade).

What to do? Use Windows for exe files. Wine is not guaranteed to execute every Windows program and I think it never will be.

The icon bar is actually above the packages tab ;) See this screenie to help http://downloads.thecompletecomputerresour...i_channels2.jpg

 

I haven't done the configue tab yet, cause that involves a lot more work, but it's coming. I will implement all the search features with the completion of this gui.

 

I guess your saying you need more screenies.

No I meant the icon (or quicklaunch bar) shouldn't be on the "Packages" tab. If you click on the "Channel" tab you can't see it. It's only visible when you click on the "Packages" tab. At least on the screenie I linked it's there. It should be under the menu bar and above the tabs (between them) like it is on virtually every application. Just take a look at your browser now for example. And it's too big for my liking.

What's that combo box?

I don't want to register to yet another forum so I write it here.

I assume this is the latest pic.

The icon bar shouldn't be on the packages tab. It should be above the tab under the menu bar. Besides it should be smaller.

What's that combo box left of the package list?

Put back the radio buttons for the search. Can we search for filenames in the future versions?

You should make the design for the other two tabs too.

I guess that's all for now.

The KDE Community is happy to announce the first Beta release for KDE 4.0 is available now. This release marks the beginning of the integration process which will bring the powerful new technologies included in the now frozen KDE 4 libraries to the applications. Simultaneously KOffice have released the second Alpha of KOffice version 2. Highlights are improved text rendering and layout and the new Flake library. Read on for more details.

You can download the KDE 4 live cd from here.

Well, i clicked on the live install icon and it just doesnt have any effect whatsoevr.. :unsure: .i mean, shouldn't my DVD drive's led start blinking or something? Also when i click on the cd/dvd rom drive icon, it says 'unable to mount the drive'...so tht means, the installer is not able to find the files on tht location, rite??

Can i mount the cdrom drive from the live cd ? If so, please help me with the mounting process..:) Also is it possible to tell the installer to look for the installation files at some other place than the CD?? Tht way, i can atleast copy the files to a local hard drive and install from there..Is it possible with the live cd? Thanks for helping me out..:)

 

Edit : I had burned the cd at 8x speed..:)

You mean you have two DVD drives right? One with the live cd and you can't mount the other.

Hey! Very good, did you do it yourself or found it ?

It's official. I can't do anything like that by myself. http://www.nba.com/celtics/multimedia/wallpaper.html

How do you like my new wallpaper?

How did you install it?

Which window manager\DE do you use? Which 3D?

The watermark bug is fixed now and the driver is out again.

Seems like it's withdrawn now because of the remaining "AMD Testing Use Only" watermark. The watermark can only be seen if you used --buildpkg switch for a distro (if you installed it from a package).

If you used the GUI installer you can't see the watermark. The reason of the bug is whether the /etc/ati/signature file is automatically generated or not. Using the GUI installer it is.

There is already a workaround. Since then the driver is withdrawn so there could be other problems as well.

Open Source Developers calling for the next desktop revolution

Future GNOME releases might have seamless integration with online services and store their configuration on the web - Novell and parts of the community seem to agree with Red Hats proposal

 

During his opening speech at the GNOME Developers conference GUADEC Jono Bacon, community manager for the Ubuntu distribution, called for a common vision inside the project, an area in which the project as a whole is currently lacking. Only a few hours later Red Hat developers Havoc Pennington and Bryan Clark presented their own proposal for a reinvention of the Open Source desktop: The GNOME Online Desktop.

I think this article answers some questions.

The new Bugzilla is up and running.

After a few weeks of testing, we have upgraded Mandriva's Bugzilla. We are now running Bugzilla 3.0 with almost no patches (as compared to the previously installation, which was a heavily patched Bugzilla 2.x). The main good news about this change is that the new Bugzilla is a lot faster than the old one! You might notice a few other changes too.

 

There's now a guided bug entry process, which will help you report bugs with all the necessary information.

 

We no longer use packages as components: we have just a small set of general categories, and you can add the affected package as a separate field, if you know it. The major advantage of this change is speed: it's the main reason why the new Bugzilla is significantly faster than the old one (ten times faster, in some cases).

 

There are a few other changes, but they're less visible. This upgrade should help us maintain Bugzilla better in future and the increase in speed is good for everyone!

Announcement on the club page

Or the old menudrak if his version is _that_ old.

Anyway under mandriva command line programs barely have a menu entry. Maybe except those which has a user interface like htop or mc.

Because you have the freedom to break your system too. Plus in that case every program you launch is run with root privileges and if any of them has a bug or a sec hole it can have a worse effect on your system.

Unfortunately I'm not a gnome user so someone else should help you. If you can't find that file that could be that maybe it's auto generated and that's why it's not in the package. But since I don't use gnome some else should confirm this.

edit: After searching for session in the package manager I found the gnome-session package. It has a few executable files (the files in the /usr/bin directory) you can take a closer look at them.

I set up the repo's as soon as I started but urpmi didn't find a tremoulos.

I had to reinstalled everything because Vista crapped that partition tables (Vista sucks) and this time there wasn't an error when adding the repos so, I'll look again. Any word on something like automatix for Madriva? Automatix installes stuff and sets it up for you with one click (really nice) it does drivers, deluge, flash plugin to firefox, Firefox 2, beryl, Java 6 (something I need, I'm a Java programmer), and all kinds of crap that may or may not be in the standarded repos for ubuntu. I've used ubuntu for 3 years and really like it but I decided to change (and didn't have the ubuntu CD) and slackware wasn't nice to me :P and couldn't find my Fendora CD's and mandriva was the next choice. It looks really nice so far.

 

Does it come with the mp3 codecs or do I need to install them too?

 

Malfist

Mandriva doesn't have Automatix. You have to install everything from the repos by the package manager. There are Flash and Java packages in the non-free repo. Though I'm not sure if JDK is available or just JRE.

Mandriva can ply mp3s out of the box though if you want to encode mp3s you need the lame codecs from the plf repos.

I don't really know which driver is the best for your card try the latest first 1-97something IIRC.

Mandriva has huge repos. What can you do is pretty much depends on which repos did you gave to your sources.

You can try that too (copying session files). Or you can try to take the session file out of the gnome package. The package manager displays the list of files in a a package you can even search for a file in the package manager. If you've found your session file, download that package manually, do not install it, and simply open it with mc (midnight commander) and copy your session file wherever you want.

Or you can wait until a Gnome user here copies his\her session file here.

And never-ever login as root.

Yes, use root's session file.

You need the video card driver for your video card. If it's nvidia then you need the nvidia driver. It's in the non-free repo of Mandriva. Add it to your sources then install the kernel-source-stripped matching to your kernel and dkms-nvidia and the matching nvidia-driver.

You can add the repos with the Mandriva control center on the packaging tab. Add the Distribution sources that will add them too. Then use the software installer GUI.
