It works fine here if I disable pulseaudio. You can do that in the Mandriva control centre (Hardware -> Sound Configuration). Excellent emulator :)

I had a similar sounding problem when I was installing 2008.1. Try putting acpi=ht into the boot options if the first reply doesn't fix it.

There's something to read about it here. I'd quite like to play it :)

In Fluxbox I use idesk (in contrib i think) for icons and PCManFM as a filemanager if that's any help.

I just had the same crash (/usr/lib/firefox-2.0.0.14/run-mozilla.sh: line 131: xxxx Segmentation fault /usr/bin/soundwrapper "$prog" ${1+"$@"}). Only running Renoise and Firefox at the time, when I closed Renoise, Firefox crashed and wouldn't start again without a reboot.

I haven't got the Flash plugin (trying Gnash instead) installed so it's not that.

From what I understand, using this method do I have to do this everytime I do a kernel update?

Yes. It's not a problem when you get the hang of it. :)

I think it means that you have not installed the kernel-devel or kernel-source (either) that Exactly matches the kernel version you are using.

I think that's the problem. Kernel and source have to match.

I've been using these instructions for a few years now and they've never failed me :) Maybe they'll help you. The credits go to somebody I can't remember :)

/etc/modprobe.preload is the file you'll need to edit when you get to that stage.

If you have Xwindows running open a Console...

At the prompt type

su

Give it the root password.

Then type

/sbin/service dm stop

After a few seconds you'll be at a text screen with the display manager stopped.

Stopping the DM is quite important!

Now log in as root giving the password you initially set up.

now...

lsmod | grep nv

If you see anything which says nvidia or nv remove it from memory with

rmmod nvidia nv

etc... This unloads the OLD kernel module.

I'm assuming that you've already installed the CORRECT kernel sources for your install, if not search on this subject...

NOW run the nvidia script

e.g.

sh ./nvidia-xxxx-xxx.run

It will compile and install a NEW kernel module.

Once it's done type

depmod -a

modprobe nvidia

Make the required change(s) to /etc/X11/XF86Config

The type

X

to test it.

If you get a graphical screen with a movable mouse you are just about done.

Stop the graphical screen by pressing [CTL][ALT][bACKSPACE] which will put you back to the text console.

Edit /etc/modprobe.conf, /etc/modules.conf & /etc/modprobe.preload remove any existing NV entries and add a line which merely says

nvidia

At this point you are done.... time to restart the DM...

To do so type

service dm start ; exit

And you'll be logged out and brought back to the graphical login with your shiny new drivers now installed.

Open a console and type glxgears and be amazed at the FPS...

Yakuake? It's similar, like a quake console.

Found this the other day. Haven't tried it but it looks interesting. :)

If you cd to the directory with the core files in and type:

file core.5837 (change the number to the file you want to look at)

you should be able to find out what's causing them.

You could do:

urpmq --list > /home/you/list.txt

then open the file in a text editor with line numbering turned on. There's probably an easier way :D

Also, Smart package manager is the one related to Conectiva I think.

You might just need to change the model. You could try:

options snd-hda-intel enable=1 index=0 model=auto

All the available model options can be seen here. from line 707.

Have a look here for your sound problem. It might help.

For your sound have a look at /usr/src/linux/Documentation/sound/alsa/ALSA-Configuration.txt. You can set options on the snd_hda_intel module.

I had no sound at all on an Asus A7T laptop untiil I put...

options snd-hda-intel model=asus-dig (I think that's right)

...into /etc/modprobe.conf.

Hope that helps a little.

www.mirrorservice.org is based at Kent uni if that's any use.

It was a decision taken by the mirror maintainer (who isn't new). Mainly on the grounds that they don't use MDV much within CSC any more.

Oh well, can't argue with that. I'll miss that mirror :D

Thanks.

I'd like to know too. It was the mirror I always used, the best one near me, usually a fast connection. The only one with mandriva AND plf mirrors afaik. Interesting that the other distro mirrors are still there. I wonder if it's something to do with patents? Perhaps someone more knowledgable can shed some light on that?

Hi

This bit:

Xlib: extension "GLX" missing on display ":0.0".

GL_VENDOR: (null)

GL_RENDERER: (null)

GL_VERSION: (null)

GL_EXTENSIONS: (null)

makes me think you haven't got accelerated 3D drivers installed.

I could be wrong... :unsure:

When I first installed xfce I accidentally unchecked "Allow Xfce to manage the desktop" in desktop preferences and saved session on log out. That seemed to mess things up and had to delete the .cache files to get it working again.

Anyway, glad it helped :D

There is some xfce stuff in ~/.cache on my system. I'm guessing but I think it caches some session settings in there

so perhaps deleting or moving those would help.

Hi

If I remember correctly the drivers gave me the same message, I kept saying ok and finished the install and the drivers worked anyway. :D Maybe that'll work for you.

(on mandriva 2007 btw)

I don't think I can help much but it's "service shorewall stop" in a terminal/konsole as root (just incase you got the command wrong) :)

Also, you can change the shorewall rules through: Mandriva Control Centre -> Security -> Set up firewall.... You should be able to allow MySQL connections in there. It would probably be easier to do it that way than manually editing the rules yourself.

Is there a way to turn off these core from being dumbed? Some are reallyyyyy big :sad:

Don't know if you can turn them off but you can just delete them. That's what I do :D

In a terminal you can type:

file core.####

and it will give you a little bit of info including the program that caused it :)
