Relix3000

Huh, actually Loki ceased to exist a LONG time ago. I got a copy of the game from EBay =P. But yeah, they dont update or offer support anymore.

Hello =). I installed SC3K Unlimited from Loki games and patched it with the 2.00a patch (i think that was the ver) then I ran the game with

LD_ASSUME_KERNEL=2.2.5 file:/mnt/win_j/SC3KLinux/sc3u

Ok, the game does open, the intro plays etc. When I am about to actually PLAY (like when I click Start New City or Load City) the game crashes and gives me this error:

Anyone has any clue about why this is happening? Thanks for any help! Btw, I am running Mandrake 10.1.

Hello! I am trying to compile a program, but it asks for the QT Headers and Libs. I downloaded the QT-devel libs, and they are correctly installed, still I tried again and it didnt work. I ran the configuration file with ( ./configure --with-qt-dir=/usr/lib/qt3 --with-qt-includes=/usr/lib/qt3/include/ --with-qt-libraries=/usr/lib/qt3/lib/ ) that comman, still didnt work. The error it gives me is the following (as stated in the log):

And I am extremely sure I have it installed. Any clues guys? Thanks for any help!

[moved from Software by spinynorman]

Here am I, annoying everyone again! This time though, I have 2 minor problems, and Ill list them rite away!:

1) liba52.0. didnt satisfy dependencies. I am trying to install Cinelarama (the program to edit video =P) and VLC, and they all show me that error. I dled a new liba52, which is a DTS or similar thing decoder. Still isnt working. Any clues?

2) Where is the Wine Config file? I installed the latest version and I cant find the config file anywhere. I want to see something in the file, because when I run SimCity 3000 on Wine it asks about a CD, and I kinda lost that (no...its not a warez thing >_>). In Windows it NEVER asked for a CD, and when I run it in Cedega it doesnt ask for a CD either, but there is a problem in Cedega that doesnt allow me to save in SC3000 and raises a exception problem and the app closes. IF anyone knows a fix for the Cedega problem, then I would need no help for the Wine file.

So, I hope someone can at least answer one of those questions =). Please!! Oh and by the way, I am running Mandrake 10.1 with KDE 3.2.

Well, I havent really ever installed KDE so I cant give you an exact how-to =P. (Above I said I reinstalled KDE, actually I meant to say I REINSTALLED MandrakeLinux, in other words did a clean install). Sorry there. But, I guess you could:

1) Reinstall KDE (and install GNOME at the same time) by booting the PC with the MandrakeLinux install CD, and select "Upgrade to 10.1" instead of New Install. Not sure if this will work, possibly wont.

2) Make a new clean install of MandrakeLinux, and this time make sure to select GNOME from the list. *Will work 100%*

3) Go to System, Configuration->Packages and from there select Install Software and install GNOME from there and POSSIBLY reinstall KDE from there.

4)The same process as above but instead of Install Software go to Update Software and update KDE if its available there (not sure if KDE is there though, never done that myself).

5) Build the new KDE 3.4 (Google KDE for the exact URL). If you see the board some people have had success and others havent, so try at your own risk.

6) Get the new Mandriva Linux Limited Edition 2005 =P (Havent tried that yet).

So, there I leave you with 6 options, select the one better suited for you (and see they work, because frankly I have only done like 3 or 4 of the above options =P). If you would ask me, I would just do a Clean Install of Mandrake. Easier, but you'll have to get the programs you downloaded again =P. Hope I have been of help =D.

Well, then try and post the results. You know, GNOME is better suited for older PCs, it has less eye candy than KDE so it can actually run a bit faster. I would recommend you try it as well.

Well, are you runnning KDE? If so, you could try login into a GNOME desktop and see if Konqueror opens from there. If it does, then the problem could be KDE. Trust me, I once had a similar problem. Reinstalling KDE did the trick and all worked like a charm =).

I would recommend you use MPlayer instead it runs the same files RealPlay does aside from others like WMV and AVI. I have problems with Realplay 10 too. Just open a terminal, log in as root, and urpmi mplayer. If it says package not found, go to the Easy URPMI link above and follow the steps by adding a contrib, plf and non-plf mirrors. Then urpmi mplayer. After it downloads, I would recommend you run urpmi mplayer-gui for a graphical interface. Thats all that i can think of right now, hope it helps =).

Well, after many days fighting back, the problem has been finally solved! What was to blame? The NVIDIA GeForce 2 Mx400 card. In Windows I had no problems until a day ago when the same syntomps appeared on Windows. I plugged the card out and used the built-in graphic system...and no problems. On both of the OSes.

I really want to thank ALL the guys that helped me here, especially Adamw =). You really are a techie ;-). Thanks a lot and Ill be sure to hang around here and when I have enough knowledge help other guys the same way i was helped. Thanks a LOT!

Well, going to try the stuff you told me cwhobbes. This is because the motherboard is around year 2000 I think, since I saw the logs and it said the BIOS of it was too old or something like that. Anyway, I am trying that and Ill edit the post if it works or it doesnt.

*Edit: It looks, a problem ocurred. I did the exact settings as you hobbes, and when I rebooted my PC it stopped in Calibrating Size of something or similar thing. Thing is Mandrake wont boot. I tried to reinstall the boot loader but the problem is there. Failsafe worked but I have no clue on how to fix that from there. So...I am now stuck on WinXP till I fix that =P.*

I am a Linux n00b as well =P. Well, I was thinking of maybe trying Fedora, but it doesnt have an application installing tool like Mandrake or Debian have. I wouldnt like to forget MDK yet, its the best distro. Right now I am on the ugly WinXP because I kinda got annoyed of it crashing on me nearly every 20 hours. Does anyone else have a similar problem?

Anyway, since I like to solve these kind of problems I am going to be on it until i fix it. Could anyone guess if installing the NVIDIA driver would do fix it (it seems like the problem is the X-Server since the actual kernel is running, so the display manager must have the fault)?

Thanks for the dedicated help! This place rocks here =P.

Well...my PC's from 2000, so yeah the BIOS COULD be a problem. And Mandrake never said about incopatible hardware while installing, but...which distro do you recommend thats user friendly?

Well, I did a fresh install (deleted everything) and the problem is still there. Maybe its an overheating problem? I NEVER shudown the PC...but still, WinXP works. Maybe software? This is driving me nuts but its interesting lol.

Well, so far Mandrake has not crashed. A good sign =). If it does I will do a repair install (which so far I have no clue on how to do...just put CD1 and select Repair install rite?) and I will let you know the results. Thanks for the amazing help once more =D.

Well..I actually thought about doing that but RIGHT now it would be problematic since I am working on other things. But...can I only repair the files of CD #1? I thought i needed to install everything all the CDs over again. But, that means all the stuff I have installed will be deleted right?? Like all the urpmi stuff? Anyway a few minutes ago I took a picture of a weird problem (another one):

http://www.eternal-anime.net/otherimages/snapshot2.jpg. Even though its hardly noticiable, there are some gray lines forming an X that pass over the wallpaper. I am extremely sure this is not part of the wallpaper since I've had that one for a few days and those lines were never there, as well as I have it for WinXP as well. I am guessing maybe the Display Manager is having problems. This is extremely confusing >_<. But I like to solve this kind of stuff =). Another thing to note is that Mandrake has not crashed in the last 12 hours. Anyway, thanks for all the answers and the support. You guys really rock. I guess this kind of support is what sets Mandrake apart from other distros :-D.

Yeah thats what I mean. WinXP Pro works with no problems whatsoever, no crashes no problems. So, the problem must be Mandrake.

Well, that is something I did not now. Thanks Adam =). Anyway, memtest showed no errors in the memory so it surely isnt that. It finished an hour from now. So...any other clues guys?

I ran it around 1PM towards 10PM ...it was a erally slow thing o.0. But, I am going to leave it running while I am out. I should be here around 5 and see if anything is bad, Thanks for the replies =)

Ok, I ran Memtest86 and no problems found in the memory. I have been looking in some other forums and NVidia latest Linux driver does the very same thing that is happening to me. Thing is I DONT have that driver installed, its the nv one (or something like that...its open source I think and comes bundled with MK10.1). Could it be the NVidia card? A few minutes ago I was doing a Presentation for my class and MK crashed once more. I could just move the mouse and nothing else responded. I checked syslog and the exact moment of the crash, and all I could see was:

Apr 10 20:01:00 localhost CROND[4787]: (root) CMD (nice -n 19 run-parts /etc/cron.hourly)

Apr 10 20:58:20 localhost syslogd 1.4.1: restart.

So, it isnt being recorded in the logs. But what I have no clue is why that CRON command is running at :01 minutes of every hour. Is that supossed to be there? Any clues?

Whatever happens I am keeping Mandrake, its the best Linux distro for me but I would like to get rid of this little annoyance. Thanks for any answers!

Well, other OS do work (XP Pro works) and I am using the drivers that come already with Mandrake (not the official ones but some kind of generic drivers) and Ill check what daniewicz said =). Thanks for the replies guys =D.

*Edit: Well, I think the problem MAY lie in KDE. I have been running Gnome for the past 12 hours with no problems so far, doing the usual stuff I do in KDE. If GNOME does crash then I am running the memtest this night.*

*Edit: Well, nvm that. GNOME just crashed. So I guess Ill run the test*

Hello. I am having a problem with Mandrake 10.1, I dont now if its the X Server or the actual kernel. Sometimes, randomly every 10 minutes or even 15 hours, Mandrake totally freezes. Numlock wont respond, CTRL+Alt+F5 wont work either. Simply, nothing works except the mouse which I can still move, but thats the only thing and then I need to plug off the PC. Last time it froze a blue line appeared while running FireFox and bang it crashed. And as I typed this, the area where you can select desktops turned totally black and the colors got dissorted. That blank box also covered the lower part of FireFox.

I am running KDE 3.2,

Celeron 566MHZ, 128MB SDRAM, GeForce 2 MX 400 (I am using the generic drivers that Mandrake provides though). One 160GB 7200RPM Maxtor HD with a smaller 9GB 7200 FireBall HD, and the PC is a Dell Dimension L566Cx.

Any clues? Thanks for any help guys!
