That worked great! Thanks a lot :D

I am currently running Amarok version 1.1 and I wish to upgrade to the latest version so that I can use its audioscrobbler support. Problem is, when I run the RPM I get this error: Some Package requested could not be installed: amarok-1.2-3.101mdk.i586 (due to unsatisfied libmusizbrainz.so.4) Do you agree? I have no idea what to do, I tried uninstalling amarok 1.1 first but got the same error, I even tried version 1.2 - Where am I going wrong? Thanks in advance :)

As the subject of this thread fits my problem, I shall post my problem here. Basically Firefox won't connect to the web. Mozilla will, perfectly but Mozilla won't. Few things that have happened though: 1. I download a tar.gz copy of 1.0.4 off of Mozilla's site, I installed it and it worked but when I rebooted it stopped working (it would appear in the task bar saying "Opening Firefox" then just dissapear and never load). 2. I tried to uninstall it all and reinstall. If I try and install from a tar.gz Firefox file now I get this error: [root@localhost firefox-installer]# ./firefox-installer SCIM: im_module_init free(): invalid pointer 0x820d110! free(): invalid pointer 0x820d0e8! ./firefox-installer: line 56: 6889 Segmentation fault ./${BIN (That error appears when I click "forward" on the first page of the installer for Firefox). 3. I managed to install an rpm of 1.0.2 it loads, but it won't connect to the web. Hopefully someone can lend me a hand with this one because I am rather stumped! Thanks a lot :)

Your fix worked great! Thanks so much for all your help :)

Thanks for that, it DID help to a degree, but I still have one problem. Everytime, I have to run this command: setpci -s 0:14.4 subordinate_bus=03 If I don't it refuses to work. That subordinate_bus thing keeps defaulting to 02. Anyway I can fix that/add it to automatically just run that command? Thanks :)

Ok. even though my above thing did work, Mandrake does not remember my settings when it reboots. Sam goes for my wireless connection. I have to keep on doing everything again. Is there a way I can tell Linux to run these commands on boot? Thanks :)

As you may have seen in the two other threads, I had a few problems. I sorted both but the problemm is, when I reboot I have to sort them again because it basically forgets what I did. First off, the driver for the synaptics touch pad does not remember that I turned off one of its features. And the net does not remember anything after "modprobe ndiswrapper". Is there a way to make all these commands run automatically when Linux boots so that I do not have to do them myself? Thanks for all your help :)

I fixed it! If anyone else has the same issue you can do the following: Log in as root type "synclient -l" to list all settings off the touch pad then type "synclient MaxTapTime=0" to turn it off. Sorted ;)

Mendriva is using the synaptics touch pad driver for my mouse, it works great but there is a feature where you can click by tapping the touch pad. How do I disable this feature? Thanks :)

Yay! I got it to work. I set the IP - my problem was that my ESSID was wrong! So I changed that and it worked great! Thanks for all your help :)

Well "ifup wlan0" fails when trying to get the IP information. I did try a static and DHCP IP but it seemed to not stay? I'll try it again later, see if it makes a difference, I may have just pressed the wrong thing! Thansk for your continued support :)

I did as you said and sadly, nothing :( When I run iwconfig, it says: wlan0 IEEE 802.11g ESSID: off/any Nickname:"Localhost" Mode:Managed Frequency:2.462GHz Access Point 00:00:00:00:00:00 bit rate=54Mb/s Tx-power: 25dBm RTS thr=2347 B Fragment thr=2346 B Encryption key:<my key here> security mode:restricted power management:off link quality 100/100 signal level -10dBm Noise Level: -256dBm Rx invalid nwid:0 Rx invalid crypt:0 Rx invalid frag:0 Tx excessive retries:0 Invalid Misc:2516 Missed beacon: 0 I ent really sure what to look for, so can you see anything wrong there? Thanks for all your help and fast replies, means a lot :)

Right, first off, thank you SO much, It has installed and the light on the card has come on, but I still have a problem. Even though the lights are on I cannot connect to the net still. I have added the WEP key, is there a tutorial anywhere to help me finish off configuring?

Well, I did try installing it but when I type "make install" it gives an error, saying that the Kernal Sources cannot be found. So I am a bit stuck really

Hey all, I just installed Mandrake/Mandriva linux in a dual boot with Windows XP home edition. Everything is working great in way of the operating system but no matter what I do I cannot get ndiswrapper to work with my Belkin F5D7010 Wireless Notebook network card. This is what I have done: I have installed version 0.9 using the software installer in Mandrake I have then added the driver and when I say "ndiswrapper -l" it does say that the driver is installed and that my hardware is present. I type "ndiswrapper -m" and that adds the extra bit of a code successfully. My problem is, when I type "modprobe ndiswrapper" it says: FATAL Module Ndiswrapper not found. And then if I do iwconfig, it does not bring up my connection. Few other things you will probably need to know to help me: I am typing the commands in as root It is a Toshiba Equium A60 Notebook P4 3.06Ghz 256MB RAM The card does work fine, I have booted back to XP numerous times and it works fine. I have searched, but no one seems to hit the problem like I have, sadly. Thanks in advance :)
