Hi,
I was guessing and guessed wrong. I can't see any systemd config files for dmraid (dm.service is something to do with display manager) on Mageia. Unless you can find something in MCC (services section) you might want to ask the Mageia devs for help or they might create a dmraid.service file for you.
Since Mageia is using systemd try:
systemctl list-unit-files |grep dmraid
If you've got a "dmraid.service" file (that's its name on Arch) then try:
systemctl enable dmraid.service
as root. Hopefully it'll be that easy but I don't use dmraid so don't know :)
I switched to Arch in February when we didn't really know what would happen to Mandriva & Mageia. I'm still using that same installation, rolling along. It's very good, well worth trying. :)
Not sure what's going on but I take it both adapters don't work in Mandriva.
Have you installed the rt2870-firmware from the Non-Free media? If not, I'd try that :)
No idea if it'll solve the problems (I don't use kmail) but you could try updating to the MIB KDE 4.5.3.
32bit & 64bit are here:
http://mib.pianetalinux.org/MIB/2010.1/others/kde/4.5.3/
I'd try having a look at the file: /home/you/.kde4/share/config/kdedrc
That file includes these two lines amongst others:
[Module-statusnotifierwatcher]
autoload=true
Try editing the file (or you could rename it kdedrc.old) then logout and login again. Also I'd check your user has write access to the file.
Hope that helps. :)
Which nvidia driver package did you install? NVIDIA-Linux-x86_64-256.44-no-compat32.run or NVIDIA-Linux-x86_64-256.44.run?
Works fine here on 2010.1 64bit.
Hi,
When at the black screen could you try pressing Ctrl+Alt+F12 and seeing if any log output is there. Might help you if there is. Or try Ctrl+Alt+F1 and see if you get a login screen.
Hi,
If you look in here you'll find java-1.6.0-sun-1.6.0.16-1mdv2010.0.i586.rpm. If that's the one you installed (I can't find a 1.6.0.12), just below it you'll see java-1.6.0-sun-plugin-1.6.0.16-1mdv2010.0.i586.rpm. That's the plugin for browsers.
