  1. I have a USB printer (all-in-one: HP 2350 PSC) attached to my Mandriva 2009.1 desktop. I also have a laptop, I would like to be able to print to the said printer with Mandriva (or on rare occation with Vista). I have tried to set it up for a long time, but no luck.

     

    I thought this page was quite good in giving advice, but couldn't get it to work (my config file seems a little different from that of the opensuse one).

     

    I did make some additions to the cupsd.conf file, but I am really not sure what is wrong with it and why I cannot connect to the printer. I have disabled firewall altogether. From my Vista laptop I can ping Mandriva system OK and I can connect to the cups page: http://192.168.254.5:631/printers/. But I cannot set the printer up in Vista (or in Mandriva 2009.1).

     

    Oh, and I have installed and enabled sambaserver on this Mandriva desktop, as I would like to share some files later on between Mandriva and Windows. Hope this doesn't interfere with ipp printing. I did also try to get the sambaprinter working, but that didn't work either. I couldn't get Vista to print to that printer, even though I did find the network printer (samba) from the Vista laptop.

     

    Where to go from here?

     

    Here's my /etc/cups/cupsd.conf file:

  2. Thanks dexter11.

     

    I downloaded it and tried to run it under Wine, but am experiencing some promlems. I got an e-mail with the serial no. from telltale games, but under wine it didn't move forward when I keyd in the serial no. It just gave me the same dialogue window again and again. And when I finally killed it, it will not run again.

     

    Anyone here have gotten this ToMI to work under wine?

     

    I just downloaded the latest wine in repos. The version is 1.1.27.

  3. You could try removing the media again and doing them one by one.

    This is the result:

    # urpmi.addmedia 'Main' 'ftp://ftp.free.fr/mirrors/ftp.mandriva.com/MandrivaLinux/official/2009.1/i586/media/main/release'
    adding medium "Main"
    ...retrieving failed: curl failed: exited with 6
    
    no metadata found for medium "Main"
    

    Then I stopped shorewall and tried again. No metadata found for medium "main"..

     

    I don't think it's a hw compatibility problem as I can still connect to internet. I don't get it...

  4. I will try that hopefully tonight when I get the chance. I didn't realize that the speedball's suggestion was any different to what I have tried, but I will definitely give it a go.

     

    I tried again earlier today with the Easy URPMI, but with the same result (no mirrors found).

     

    I have installed the new version just like I always have: making a fresh installation (not updating) and formating "/" while keeping "/home". Does that have anything to do with it?

  5. I reinstalled the Mandriva 2009.1 - no help.

     

    The situation is the same. I can connect to internet from this PC (I'm posting this from that very PC), but cannot add sources.

     

    I get this list:

    Then I tried pinging the site. It worked fine.

    [root@localhost dude67]# ping plf.zarb.org

    I even tried loading the list from zarb.org with Firefox and this is the result.

    So why can't I get the mirror list?

  6. Thanks speedball, but is there really something different in your approach?

     

    I have tried to add them several different way from auto detect mode to individually adding them from several different location near and far.

     

    I believe my only chance is to re-install the whole thing anew.

     

    I see that MDV2010.0 is still not due until early November, so I'm not going to wait that long. I'll re-install the bugger and post back.

  7. I have this PC #2 with Mandriva / WinXP dualboot system. I rarely use this PC anymore so I hadn't updated 2009.0 to 2009.1 until yesterday.

     

    Now, when it's time to get all the updated packages, I cannot add any medias! I tried through the Easy URPMI with all possible options (manual selection of packages, manual mirror selection and fully automatic). I also went through MCC and tried to add medias from GUI, but no luck.

     

    I used the same DVD Free that I used when installing my PC #1 so that should not be the problem. I can connect to internet and I can ping e.g. plf.zarb.org with no problem. But all the medias I'm trying to download sources for I get the same error message pop-up. It says: "Could not find a mirror from mirrorlist $MIRRORLIST"

     

    Any ideas what the problem might be?

  8. You have 100GB of the disk used by a Recovery Partition? That can't be right, that only leaves you with 40GB of physical disk spare for your system to use.

    No, that's not what he said:

     

    ...It has, supposively, the 120gb conventional hard disk. I have use of around 100gb due to the stupid recovery partition. I already have used 40gb of the drive. Alot of that data is not windows exclusive so I can move it off of there should I need to...

     

    I believe he said that he can use 100gb out of the 120gb (means the recovery system uses around 20gb) and he has already made use of 40gb with some data.

     

    So, he has left 60gb, if I understood correctly.

     

    I'd use it exactly how Ian says:

    20gb for /

    1gb for /swap

    rest for /home
