Tried all this now with digikam and it's not working either. No autodetection, tried with the DMC-FZ20 settings and it gave a popup error messege that the camera couldn't be detected or it's not connected. Of course it was connected and switched on. About the download/view mode: the camera seems to autodetect this mode cause once I plug it in it says "USB mode" and "PC" on the screen. If it's not enough then I don't know where to switch this on, I couldn't find anything related to this in the camera's settings and manual is not available. I don't have a card reader I am not willing to buy one.

The older GeForce (GeForce, GeForce2 series though GeForce2 MX series are) cards are not supported anymore in the new drivers since the 7174 driver. They said there will be a legacy driver for them. Until then downgrade the nvidia driver.

The companys'. Loki installer can work fine if they want. Cedega should be the last choice what people use when everything else fails. Although it's may not easy but it's possible to write platform independent games like UT2k4, Doom3 etc. There are even ready libraries like SDL, ogg etc. They just have to use it. The permenent development does not mean that the new libraries are incompatible to the old ones. And if they are then you only have to install the old libs. They can be included in the install CDs. They are open source software. Insatll to the home dir then. Or maybe the installer could ask it: Do you want to use this software alone [ ] Do you want this software be available to everyone using this computer (You will need root permissions) [ ]. Anyway it could be an easy workaround. IMO the biggest problem is the small market. And IMO two things I know of can change this: 1. PS3 as Jet2k5 wrote. Nothing really need to be said. 2. MAC switching to Intel. Some games already running on it, like World of warcraft, maybe there's a lot more I don't know. And it's a UNIX variant OS. When big game software companies start to use platform independent libs we're already made the biggest step.

My problem is that I can't type colon in dosbox. It's a known bug of dosbox with non english keyboard layouts. They recommend to change keybord layout while using dosbox. So how can I change the layout only where and when I use dosbox. I've tried the "loadkeys" command and it worked only on the Ctrl+Alt+Fx terminals but didn't change mrxvt's layout. dosbox 0.63 Mandriva 2005 [moved from Software by spinynorman]

First try to find this SDL_mixer.h file in the software installer (try to find the package which contains this file). If it's not installed then install it. Then try to compile rott again.

Yes, all three. I will try it on next tuesday. Thank you for helping me.

udev starts at boot. The list was taken when the camera was not plugged in, just to show that necessary things start at boot. Should usb-storage be started at boot, or is it started by udev? Oh I forgot this: the OS is Mandriva 2005 LE.

Hotplug is loaded, and so does the usb modules as you can see. How can I find which dev file represents the camera? And what file system is on it? Looked at the official panasonic site but it's only a commercial ("how can you buy more accesories" type bs)

The title is self-explanatory. I'd like to mount this camera. How should I do that? lsusb is not showing anything (meaning it only shows my printer). Tried the control center but no appropiate setting for cameras there, at least I couldn't find any. Tried if mount /dev/sda helps -> special device /dev/sda doesn't exist. My PC: AMD 2000+ AthlonXP ECS L7VTA Mobo 256MB RAM

It's just guessing, isn't it? Most of the times I use windowmaker, so it shouldn't conflict with a working KDE\Qt. I used the already downloaded one in /var/cache/urpmi/rpms (Btw 80M other rpms are there, can I just delete them?) urpmi gave the same error again. Sooooo is it safe to use force(d installation) here?

I tried an Austrian, Hungarian and German mirror and I was originally on a Chezh one. Still the same error. Any more ideas?

Not working. Same error.

When I try to update my PC (Mandriva 2005) with rpmdrake, I can't update the qt3-common-3.3.4-7.1.102mdk package. The installation fails with the following message: qt3-common = 3.3.4-5mdk is needed by (installed) libqt3-3.3.4-5mdk. So how can I fix it? Is it safe to use forced installation?

You wrote you are using 10.1. But your main and contrib source arte pointing to 2005 (alias 10.2). Your update points to 10.1 again. Decide which one you want to use and don't mix the two unless you're a real expert.

That's only releasing full API docs. Currently they holding back some things (at least they roumored), so only MS products can fully work together with MS servers. They not opening up any technology. The are patenting everything they can. Oh and there's the windows without media player, which they still didn't release AFAIK.

Post some error messages.

You forgot to type urpmi.addmedia before the ftp address.

Try to search for xorg instead of XFree86.

During boot press ESC. You should see the system messages now and see what process is on while your system seems to hang.

You should install the video card drivers.

Maybe the servers were still syncing at that time. You were too fast.

Guess I will. I killalled magicdev and put an empty rw CD in, but Nero wrote it's not empty and wanted to erase it anyway. I chose OK, but the erasing stopped at about 50% and it started all over again (it's not empty, erase it). I know Mandrake is not supported but it's only a CD writer. I have to burn it under win.
