If you are running KDE: start the program Kmix (if it starts only in the system tray, then right click -> Show mixer window), then go to the tab 'Switches' then make sure Headphone Jack Sense and Line Jack Sense are checked (the "lights" beside them should shine yellow). I'm sure other mixing software got something similar.

Since fish uses SSH I think you should... http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Files_transfe..._shell_protocol Edit: Yup, you should: http://docs.kde.org/development/en/kdebase...slave/fish.html

Do you have a running SSH-server on the laptop?

What do you mean should not work? It seems to work for me in Firefox 2.0.0.1...

The Perfect Setup - Mandriva 2007 There you have a guide on how to set up a Mandriva 2007 server with some of the things you want. The steps should be almost the same for Mandriva 2007.1 I think. Edit: Here you also has information about the different editions of Mandriva Linux.

I use Quanta+

Mark backports as updates and you will get it automatically when you update.

An example from one of my machines: # The loopback network interface auto lo iface lo inet loopback # The primary network interface allow-hotplug eth0 auto eth0 iface eth0 inet static address 192.168.2.7 gateway 192.168.2.1 netmask 255.255.255.0 How did you configure it otherwise? Edit: for dhcp I think it is: iface eth0 inet dhcp but I'm not sure

Have you set it up in /etc/network/interfaces?

is it? I'm using 2007.0, what repo is it in cos I just did a search & 1.5.0.10 is showing as the latest! Backports

It's in KDE Control Center -> System Administration -> Login Manager -> Convenience.

have you restarted mcc? If something closes unexpectedly it use to work after I've closed down mcc and then started it again.

Ok, when using urpmi.update you also have to give the name of the media to update, To update all use: urpmi.update -a After that run urpmi --update --auto-select to download and install any new packages.

is any entry marked as update?

I think this depends on which security level you choose. Edit: In level 5 you have to be in the wheel group: http://club.mandriva.com/xwiki/bin/view/KB/SecureSmsec

You can also dual boot, which many linux users do (me too). If you install linux you can choose to keep your windows installation and install linux on another partition. The installer will then automatically set up your system for dual-boot.

A quick google: Windows md5sum generator: http://www.md5summer.org/

Gnome version: 1:2.14.3.6 http://packages.debian.org/testing/gnome/gnome

Follow the instructions on https://mandrivausers.org/index.php?showtopic=40552 about how to set up your online rpm-repositories.

http://qa.mandriva.com/show_bug.cgi?id=29839 This happened for me too, it seems to be fixed in testing.

Yes.

Run 'alsaconf' as root and follow the instructions (you may have to install that package).

Have you changed mirrors?
