Could it be a bad burn?

I remember seeing some options for that in kcontrol -> peripherals -> display, but now I can't see it. Maybe it's only visible if you have more than one screen connected (I had that before).

I have the same mouse as you. To get it working in debian I installed the package "imwheel" and changed my xorg.conf to:

Section "InputDevice"
	Identifier	  "Configured Mouse"
	Driver		  "mouse"
	Option		  "CorePointer"
	Option		  "Device"				"/dev/input/mice"
	Option		  "Protocol"			  "ExplorerPS/2"
	Option		  "Buttons"			   "7"
	Option		  "ZAxisMapping"		  "4 5"
	Option		  "Resolution"			"800"
	Option		  "Emulate3Buttons"	   "false"
	Option		  "ButtonMapping"		 "1 2 3 6 7 4 5"
EndSection

It shouldn't be this hard to figure out what's accessing the drive every few seconds. If I wanted to be left completely in the dark about what's going on with my system I'd be using Vista. Surely there's SOME utility or command that will give me the info I want.

PowerTop is such a program.

well yes, its KDE so it wont help you... I don't use gnome so, I've no idea...

Try to run kmenuedit from a terminal-window and see if it gives any error.

The same has happened for me on Debian. I figured that when you issue the command, it's the first time the game is trying to play a sound. So I went to options and tuned all sounds to minimal, and next time it didn't crash anymore.

This can happen if you have changed network card (and probably other cases as well), well, I don't know all the details but, the snippet below is the important part:

						Offending key in /home/dude67/.ssh/known_hosts:5

The easiest thing to do is to remove line 5 in your .ssh/known_hosts, and all will be solved.

I don't know which is the best, but, like Arctic, I installed Debian on my G3 and it worked very well.

when i open the run dialog and type in alsaconf, i get: Could not run the specified command

maybe i didn't understand what you asked me to do...

You have to be root the run that command, therefore:

Open a terminal ("Konsole") type su <enter>, enter your root password <enter> and then run alsaconf.

How much space does your personal files take up?

Check with:

du -sh /home

What says

# fdisk -l

about the partition?

Also if anyone knows where I could get some "QCA TLS"plugin that would be really appreciated too. :D

Question 1: I was unclear, shame on me. Let me try with an example: let's assume that I want to get rid of an application that I launch clicking on an icon named Word; which is the name of the module that I have to remove with Rpmdrake ? It's not enough to say that I have to look for modules that have "word" in their name !

Well, you can see which command it starts and then search for that in rpmdrake.

Question 2: you're telling me that everything is based on experience :-( Ok. Is there an application able to spot the orphan modules (In MS there a similar application able to spot the orphan dll files and, I believe, Debian has also something like that).

What if you go to localhost/nut/index.html ?

Hi and welcome aboard! :D

Dumb question: have you tried pressing Esc?

Install 'alsaconf' if you don't have it already, then run it in a terminal as root.

To become root, type:

su
(your root password)

Since no one else has answered:

They are probably necessary.

When I installed Debian on my iMac G3 I let the installer make the partition-table, and as far as I remember it made one extra partition in the beginning of the disk (it can have been /boot though). Haven't got it here right now so can't tell for sure.

Can someone please enlighten me what is a "32 bit hard drive" ? Please?

Probably a hard drive with a 32-bit system installed.

I think it is Metisse that makes the nine desktops. Haven't used it myself, so I don't know if there is a Control Center or similar for it.

Run 'alsaconf' as root, then try again.

Hi, and welcome to the board! :)

It looks like it starts to load, and at the point of showing the NVIDIA splash screen to load the desktop, it goes blank.

Id like to install it on the docking station to be sure it works.

Also, I tried both VGA and DVI, same results.

tar: /home/nova/download/scribus-1.3.3.9.tar.bz2: Cannot open: No such file or directory

tar: Error is not recoverable: exiting now

tar: Child returned status 2

tar: Error exit delayed from previous errors

any idea what is wrong ?

Well, it says it cannot find the file. You're sure it's the right filename? Try open konqueror and then navigate to the file and unpack it using Ark (or file-roller if you're using gnome).

Hi All,

 

Just installed for the first time. Looks like everything is installed, except for the Wireless card, which is an Intel LAN 2100 3B. when I click on it to configure it gives me some jip about:

 

"Some packages (ipw2100-firmware) are required but aren't available.These packages can be found in Mandriva Club or in Mandriva commercial releases.

 

Many thanks

Hi, and welcome aboard :)

Read this post for information on how to get access to more software for Mandriva.

After you have done that you should be able to configure wireless. It should then install all required packages automatically.
