  1. Just add to the Mandy grub menu

     

    title Debian GNU/Linux, kernel 2.6.18-4-686

    root (hd1,0)

    kernel /boot/vmlinuz-2.6.18-4-686 root=/dev/hdc1 ro

    initrd /boot/initrd.img-2.6.18-4-686

     

    title Debian GNU/Linux, kernel 2.6.18-4-686 (single-user mode)

    root (hd1,0)

    kernel /boot/vmlinuz-2.6.18-4-686 root=/dev/hdc1 ro single

    initrd /boot/initrd.img-2.6.18-4-686

    Should work, although I'm curious how the distros can't agree about who is hda and who hdc.

    Did you change the BIOS boot order before installing Debby?

     

    No, doesn't work. It says that there is no such a disc and gives me an error.

  2. This is my first experience of installing OSes on more than one hd. I have hdc with XP and Mandriva on it and hda with Debian. During Debian installation i was asked if i want to set up grub on MRB and answered yes. On reboot i got the old Mandriva grub screen with no debian in it. Question: what should i add to menu.lst in order to have Debian boot option?

     

     

     

    Mandriva's menu.lst (the working one):

     
    timeout 10
    color black/cyan yellow/cyan
    gfxmenu (hd0,6)/boot/gfxmenu
    default 0
    
    title linux
    kernel (hd0,6)/boot/vmlinuz BOOT_IMAGE=linux root=/dev/hdc7  splash=silent vga=788
    initrd (hd0,6)/boot/initrd.img
    
    title failsafe
    kernel (hd0,6)/boot/vmlinuz BOOT_IMAGE=failsafe root=/dev/hdc7  failsafe
    initrd (hd0,6)/boot/initrd.img
    
    title windows
    root (hd0,0)
    makeactive
    chainloader +1

     

    debian's menu.lst:

    default		0
    timeout		5
    color cyan/blue white/blue

  3. Read here about GNOME and KDE.

    In general, they are based on different libraries, look different and have different ideology behind. This forum has a plenty of discussions on this topic. Look here for example: https://mandrivausers.org/index.php?s=&showtopic=39472&view=findpost&p=297532 ://https://mandrivausers.org/index.php?...t&p=297532 ://https://mandrivausers.org/index.php?...t&p=297532 ://https://mandrivausers.org/index.php?...t&p=297532

  4. The bugs that i had/have that really annoy me:

     

    - bad package signatures FIXED

    - FireFox crushes spontaneously - no idea why, gone without me doing a thing about it

    - sometimes I can't shut down the system - it freezes after i click Log Out-->Turn off computer

    - segmentation fault errors during update

     

    Except these ^ - all perfect.

  5. I reinstalled the plugin as tyme said by downloading a rpm from adobe site, so i suppose it was the latest. According to "about:plugins" i have a Shockwave Flash 9.0 r31 plugin.

     

    Now FF turns off spontaneously, and i can't find any clue why it happens.

     

    I think AussieJohn had the same experience as i did with FF, look here.

  6. Got this when i tried to update:

    Proceed with the installation of the 40 packages? (211 MB) (Y/n) n
    [root@mdk ilia]#

     

    What is that? Kernel upgrade? I have to download 211 MB more?

    What am i suppose to do?

     

    Thanks.

    Thanks.

  7. New one: each time i try to view a page that contains some flash i get this:

    [ilia@mdk ~]$ firefox
    Flash Player: Warning: environment variable G_FILENAME_ENCODING is set and is not UTF-8
    /usr/lib/firefox-2.0.0.3/run-mozilla.sh: line 131:  4912 Segmentation fault	  "$prog" ${1+"$@"}
    [ilia@mdk ~]$

    WTF ?

     

    Same happens with the FF i downloaded from FF site, so it must be a flash-plugin problem.

    Any thoughts?
