  4. Change the GTK Theme in 2008 KDE [solved]

    in Art And Design

    Posted · Edited by ffi

    you need to install the gtk-qt engine then an option to change the gtk theme under kde will show up in the kde control center, you can then choose to use either gtk-qt or any installed gtk theme without the need of any gnome stuff installed

     

    my guess is that there have been some changes in glib which affect gtk-qt engine causing some themes to look crappy in some gtk apps, the change happened for me in both gutsy and mdv2008.0

     

    ps try deleting the .gtk related files in your home directory to get the gtk theme to change, sometimes they seem to get corrupted......

  5. update problem [solved]

    in Software

    the problem is a bug in xfdrake, not the driver. To work around the bug install the 100 version properly, check that is working (by restarting the x server or rebooting), uninstall everything nvidia related (especially the precompiled nvidia kernel package), now install the latest nvidia and nvidia dkms package (and your kernel's devel package), restart and know you should have the latest nvidia working

  12. My Mandriva 2008 Rant (I know it's 'Beta')

    in Everything Linux

    I think that if you dont enable the backports, they are unsupported..., it will all work. But I agree that this is a bug of XFdrake. I have found that it tries to download nvidia or ati-kernelflavour-latest and maybe set up some sym links to those kernel modules instead of using the dkms ones....

     

    That's my point. We're going backwards. So, if Mandriva wants to remain completely 'open', why include 'non-free' in Mandriva One? Double standards are just confusing, not helpful.

     

    some people have a problem with closed source others don't. Mandriva offers you a choice: get the most out of your hardware or stay completely opensource and maybe have things not working 100%

    ffi. If you read my post, One includes the module, 2008 'Official' does not. If you notice the paths to the modules you posted, they are in the 'non-free' directory, which is not included on the installation DVD and how can I get it when my wireless doesn't work?

     

    2008.0 one does include it too but the free version only includes free and open software, so if you want to install you either need the powerpack or the one cd, which include the non-free stuff.

  16. boot loader messed up [solved]

    in Software

    Posted

    I see that I didn't explain myself well. I am in root, and the only partition I can mount is the fat one. I'm denied entrance into the others. Therefore, I cannot get to the menu.lst file.

     

    The system: ide

    Partitions: 10G (fat) , 36G, 41G, 71G

     

    I can't remember the other information.

    I think you are saying you are in the root partition? You have to become root, ie in a konsole type su and then your password now from the konsole you can start konqueror or kwrite with administrator priviledges.

    it doesnt include ipw3945d? what a joke.

     

    *shrug* I havnt used mandriva because well... I can't. They still havnt fixed my install bug, which is ridiculous seeing as not only is it a bad regression, but a simple fix.

  21. directory size [solved]

    in Software

    Posted

    The key advantages in using Filelight is you do NOT have to use the cli to do what you are seeking and especially it gives you a valuable visual comparison of Directorys and folders in relation to oneanother in terms of size and placement. It is much more helpful in my opinion to newbies or not so newbies. I have tried the cli methods suggested and found it barely helpful.

     

    Cheers. John.

     

    Konqueror does this too though with file size view, there is a button on the toolbar
