You're welcome. :D

When you see the Lilo, try and press the Esc-button. Enter Linux init 3 Login as "root" and enter XFdrake and try to change your driver to "vesa" I thought it is under "other". Try the "test" to see if your new driver is accepted by your Voodoo-card. If it's OK, reboot your system.

After installing the packages, did you get K3b FLAC Decoder under AudioDecoder in the plugins-section of K3b? And how do you burn a audio-cd with K3b? "New audio project" and dragging the flac-files to the Audio-cd0 field, or?

As for the plugins, mine contains the K3b FLAC Decoder under AudioDecoder. As for the packages you can't seem to install or find, they all seem to be in the main-source of urpmi. Maybe you should update them or change to a different server. You could also find them here. For instance: liboggflac3-1.1.2-4mdk> http://rpm.pbone.net/index.php3?stat=26&am...2-4mdk.i586.rpm libflac7-1.1.2-4mdk> http://rpm.pbone.net/index.php3?stat=26&am...2-4mdk.i586.rpm libflac++5-1.1.2-4mdk> http://rpm.pbone.net/index.php3?stat=26&am...2-4mdk.i586.rpm flac-1.1.2-4mdk> http://rpm.pbone.net/index.php3?stat=26&am...2-4mdk.i586.rpm Or are you using Mandriva 2006 x86_64?

I have the following packages installed and I can burn audio-cds with flac files with K3b. - flac-1.1.2-4mdk - gstreamer-flac-0.8.11-4.1.20060mdk - libflac++5-1.1.2-4mdk - libflac7-1.1.2-4mdk - liboggflac3-1.1.2-4mdk Hopes this helps.

Looks great, Ian. Keep up the good work.

Oke, thanks.

Ok will try that. The rpm -qa kmod\* gave me this: kmod-fglrx-8.31.5-1.2.6.18_1.2868.fc6 So I thought those were the latest drivers. Thanks jlc, it worked. I've now got 3D-rendering working. :D Just another question concerning this problem. How do you consider the drivers from the ATi-site, in comparison to the the Livna-drivers?

Can I run these commands from within Gnome or do I need to go into init 3 first? This command gave the following feedback: kernel-2.6.18-1.2798.fc6.i686 kernel-2.6.18-1.2868.fc6.i686 kernel-headers-2.6.18-1.2798.fc6.i386 kernel-headers-2.6.18-1.2868.fc6.i386 Does this mean that I'm using the wrong kernel-headers?

Somehow, I did something wrong, but now the added sections seem to be accepted and X starts with no problems. And the "DRI" error in my /var/log/Xorg.0.log is gone. But I still haven't got 3D-rendering working. Any suggestions?

Thanks for your reply, Reiver_Fluffi. But after adding those sections, X won't start at all and I'm stuck with the cursor. After deleting those sections, I was able to reboot with X starting.

Hi, I've recently installed the ATi-drivers, out of the Livna-repo, on my freshly installed Fedora 6 installation. For the record, my graphics-card is an ATi Radeon X700. The installation went fine, no problems, but after a reboot and entering the following command: glxinfo | grep direct I got the following feedback: glxinfo | grep direct direct rendering: No OpenGL renderer string: Mesa GLX Indirect Where did I go wrong? Btw, this my xorg.conf # Xorg configuration created by pyxf86config Section "ServerLayout" Identifier "Default Layout" Screen 0 "Screen0" 0 0 InputDevice "Keyboard0" "CoreKeyboard" InputDevice "Synaptics" "CorePointer" EndSection Section "InputDevice" Identifier "Keyboard0" Driver "kbd" Option "XkbModel" "pc105" Option "XkbLayout" "us" Option "XkbVariant" "intl" EndSection Section "InputDevice" Identifier "Synaptics" Driver "synaptics" Option "Device" "/dev/input/mice" Option "Protocol" "auto-dev" Option "Emulate3Buttons" "yes" EndSection Section "Device" Identifier "Videocard0" Driver "fglrx" EndSection Section "Screen" Identifier "Screen0" Device "Videocard0" DefaultDepth 24 SubSection "Display" Viewport 0 0 Depth 24 EndSubSection EndSection Hope someone can help me with this. Thanks in advance.

Did you check the md5sum before burning the iso-file onto the cd?

If you would like to install a Mandriva-based OS onto a USB-pendrive, you should certainly take a look at MCNLive "Cherbourg". This a Mandriva-based Live-CD, with the option of installing the complete OS onto a USB-pendrive and booting from it. Without use of the Live-CD. That is, if your bios is capable of booting USB-pendrives. Some older don't. You can find MCNLive "Cherbourg" here: ftp://ftp.belnet.be/pub/mirror/urpmidev.m...live/Cherbourg/ and here: ftp://ftp.nluug.nl/pub/os/Linux/distr/man...live/Cherbourg/

Did you try it as "root"? You can become "root" by entering su in a console and then your password. Oh, and in case you didn't know to configure your uprmi-sources, try this.

Ahh, that would be trulu amazing. I've seen the game at my brother's, who uses Windows, and I would really like to try it. Especially the ability to fly around in spaceships. :P Back in my Windows days, I've played and Beta-tested Star Wars Galaxies, which I found one of the best MMORPG around, at that moment. But the fact that, at that moment, you didn't have the ability to fly in spaceships and the fact that Linux had a bigger sex-appeal than Windows, made me decide to quit my membership. Still hoping Star Wars Galaxies would get a Linux-client though. But as far as EVE concerns, I would definitely would like to play some. :P

You can add channels for Smart here: https://mandrivausers.org/easyurpmi/index.p...5D=smart#second

Don't try typing those commands into a console, but use copy and paste instead. Because this way, you don't have any typo's. And the command your using should be something like: urpmi.addmedia plf-free ftp://mirror.cricyt.edu.ar/plf/mandriva/2...se/binary/i586/ with hdlist.cz So the hdlist.cz part, isn't connected to the rest of the command.

How did you install Smart? Did you install it from the urpmi-sources? And could you post those errors you seem to be getting here?

By the way, you can also find Azureus in the urpmi-sources or if you prefer the smart-channels.

Hi, no problems here with Smart. Thanks to Dexter. But did you try and add the channels from this site: https://mandrivausers.org/easyurpmi/index.php You need to change urpmi>smart of course. Try adding those channels.

Yes, I've unchecked it. I will change it in the morning and try again. Thanks for your hel and time, so far Dexter.

Hi, thought it best to start a brand new topic about something that puzzles me. As you probably saw in an earlier topic, I started about configuring Smart, I've now run into something strange trying to install new packages with Smart. Here's the thing. I've configured Smart with the following sources: - contrib - main - plf-free - plf-nonfree - updates After adding those sources, I ran an "smart update" and an "smart upgrade". The last one gave me this: smart upgrade Loading cache... Updating cache... ################################################################### [100%] Computing transaction... No interesting upgrades available. After this I tried to install "graveman" with smart and it gave me the following: smart install graveman Loading cache... Updating cache... ################################################################### [100%] Computing transaction... Installing packages (87): ash ldconfig libgsm1 libsancho-gui2 libxrender1 bash libalsa-data libgtk+-x11-2.0_0 libstdc++6 mkisofs cdrdao libalsa2 libgtk+2.0_0 libtermcap2 net-tools cdrecord libao2 libia_ora-gnome libtiff3 openssl chkconfig libatk1.0_0 libid3tag0 libvorbis0 pam common-licenses libcrack2 libjpeg62 libvorbisenc2 pango coreutils libcups2 liblcms1 libvorbisfile3 perl-base cracklib-dicts libdb2 liblzo2_2 libx11_6 pkgconfig dvd+rw-tools libflac7 libmad0 libxau6 rootcerts fontconfig libfontconfig1 libmng1 libxcursor1 rpm-helper glib2.0-common libfreetype6 libogg0 libxdmcp6 sancho-gui glibc libgcc1 libopencdk8 libxext6 setup gnome-icon-theme libgcrypt11 libopenssl0.9.8 libxfixes3 shadow-utils graveman libgdk_pixbuf2.0_0 libpam0 libxft2 sox grep libglade2.0_0 libpango1.0_0 libxi6 zlib1 gtk+2.0 libglib2.0_0 libpango1.0_0-modules libxinerama1 hicolor-icon-theme libgnutls13 libpcre0 libxml2 ia_ora-gnome libgpg-error0 libpng3 libxrandr2 40.9MB of package files are needed. 103.1MB will be used. Confirm changes? (Y/n): So many packages, just to install "graveman". So I started to wonder and installed "graveman" with urpmi. This is how it came out: urpmi graveman ftp://ftp.nluug.nl/pub/os/Linux/distr/Mandrakelinux/official/2007.0/i586/media/contrib/release/graveman-0.3.12-5mdv2007.0.i586.rpm installeren van graveman-0.3.12-5mdv2007.0.i586.rpm vanaf /var/cache/urpmi/rpms Voorbereiden... ########################################################################### ############### 1/1: graveman ########################################################################### ############### Where am I going wrong here? By the way, the same thing happened when I tried to install "Koverartist" with smart. It wanted to install 208 packages of a total of 123.8MB. Just for a program like "Koverartist". I would really appreciate it if someone could help me out here. Thanks in advance.

On the first page choose your language, arch and release. Go to the next page and choose the mirrors to all the repos. On the bottom of this page there is a combo box with urpmi written in it. Change it to smart. Finish the process and it will give you the commands for adding repos for smart. Thanks Dexter. I've now added the smart-sources and idsabled the Cooker-sources. All looks good. Just one other question. I've added other sources to my urpmi-config, mainly those in Belgium and the Netherlands. Would I be able to add those ones instead of the ones I've selected now, which are Germany and Sweden?

Thanks for your reply Dexter, but I'm afraid smart-urpmi doesn't ring a bell. Can't seem to find in the sources of urpmi either. Can you a elaborate some more on that? Thanks in advance.
