The only way I can think of to fix this is to download the urpmi packages manually and install them by the plain rpm command. When AdamW was writing about the only supported way for upgrading he meant to download the cd or dvd isos burn them check them and upgrade from them. The boot.iso doesn't count in this.

If you got this error message it means you have to install it. So urpmi libfreetype.so should help if urpmi would work. without the error messages we can't say anything for sure.

Adobe is opening up the source code of Flex under the Mozilla Public License. Read more...

... and a package called kernel-source-stripped. There are many version of that too but you have to install the one which matches to your running kernel. So in a command line issue "uname -a" without quotes. It will write something like The number in bold is what you need.

You can read some details about it in Olivier Blin (blino)'s blog and Frederik Himpe's blog.

Who's gonna buy it? It seems like SSD is the future. Dell is already offering it as an option for two of its laptops http://www.dell.com/content/topics/global....l=en&s=corp

Is k3b able to do that? Some people complain when big companies don't release their products to Linux. Now that at least Ahead does it. Whether you like it or not it can be a nice alternative and an important step in making Linux more popular.

Yes. Ooops Neddie was faster.

I had the same problem. Any program which uses glx immediately restarts x server including glxgears and even glxinfo. The problem is described here: http://linux-wizard.net/index.php?id_blog=113 Check your xorg.conf if you have the same problem. Either add the missing lines or just run XFdrake which does it for you. Also installing the driver from the official source may add the missing lines too but I didn't check that. If you want to use Beryl you may need to add some more lines check this topic: http://forum.club.mandriva.com/viewtopic.php?t=64361 Metisse still doesn't work here though.

Apart from thew good side it may have a bad side too: http://www.cl.cam.ac.uk/%7Erja14/tcpa-faq.html

According to the Inquirer, the biggest news of the last Intel Developer Forum in Beijing was Intel is opening up its front side bus for 3rd party manufacturers. It means that you can put a non-Intel CPU into the CPU slot of a mother board with Intel chip set. Read the full article here. source: hup.hu

It's on the tab called "Mount points". Choose "Creating, deleting and resizing partitions" (the first icon). It's pretty straight forward from there. Choose the partition you want to mount (click on it) and then click on the mount button which just appeared. When you choose exit the program will offer to save changes in /etc/fstab. Note that I don't use English language here so the the text you'll see and what I wrote can be different.

It happened to me once then I restarted it and the crash hasn't come back since.

Any of the above. You can't upgrade from a live cd. There is an option. You only have to choose upgrade instead of install.

Try another server. Or if that doesn't solve it than you can use wget instead of curl (--wget).

No, upgrading keeps your old settings and package selection. A fresh install starts with wiping your disk and then installing everything.

It was because One simply overwrote your root partition. I wouldn't call that an upgrade.

AFAIK live cds contain an archived image (sqashfs) so you either install it as it is or you don't install it. Neddie did your package selection change after upgrading from the live cd? Smarturpmi generates an interactive file which not just updates the sources but updates\upgrades the system for you. You don't have to know the various urpmi commands.

A somewhat easyer way (though it's basically the same but a bit more user friendly) is to visit http://www.mandrivauser.de/smarturpmi Choose the mirrors you like the best but in the end you can save it as a script. Save the script, navigate to it in a file manager, give it execute permission (right click, choose Properties and on one of the tabs you have to check a checkbox). Open a terminal and run the script and wait for it to finish.

So you have a shutdown button. If you've been using the wrong display manager(KDM,GDM etc) you'd only have a logout button. Just for the record though if you are a KDE user you should use KDM, if you are a Gnome user you should use GDM.But it's very likely the problem lies elsewhere. Can you shutdown your computer from the command line (halt or shutdown -h now)? Launch the network connect wizard (drakconnect) from the command line (konsole or xterm) and watch the messages it produces.

I am using Mandrake\Mandriva since 7.2. I can't really remember when a new kernel wasn't added by default to the boot menu. Maybe it wasn't the case with GRUB but it was with LILO. Plus the new kernel becomes the default one. The choice "linux" always pointed to the latest kernel. Now they have a different name for that menu entry, not linux but it works just the same.

Mysti you only need to use drakmenustyle. You can choose from all available menu formats.
