The C++ compiler is called gcc-c++, follow zibi1981's advice and then urpmi gcc-c++

If you install it via Mandriva Control Center it should select java at the same time, if you have done what it says here in the wiki or here for a direct link.

It is possible that it show the size of the unpacked packages, I know that apt-get and/or aptitude do this.

https://mandrivausers.org/index.php?showtopic=33714 works for mdv2007 too

How are you trying to install it? It's in the repositories for mdv2007, so you should just need to install the updates to get it.

It works quite well with my laptop (see sig.) with mdv2007, using klaptop. However, sometimes after I start it again the fan doesn't go at all or it goes all the time. Or maybe that was when suspending to ram? Haven't done it in a while now, but I once had an uptime on my laptop at 11 days when I hibernated during the nights. After a suspend to ram tty1-6 disappear for me. On my sister's computer (Dell X200, mdv2007) I managed to set up both suspend to ram and disk without issues by using pmsuspend (in package suspend-scripts) and hibernate (package hibernate) instead of klaptop.

If you use k3b you can just choose "burn image to cd", and if the iso is bootable it should boot. Have you set up in the BIOS that the computer boots from cd?

the first r-x means that the owner can read and execute the file, but not write to it (or delete it). The second r-x is for the group and the last is for everyone else. Take a look at this page, under Permissions.

I see that you have xorg.conf there so vi /etc/X11/xorg.conf shall open the file for you... make sure you have written it correctly.

Are you sure you have written exactly like that? With all spaces and slashes? What gives ls -la /etc/X11/ ?

Have you installed updates yet? If you can't use old_MandrivaUpdate to update, you can do it with: urpmi.update -a urpmi --update --auto-select

set up your repositories using easy-urpmi (link at the top of this page), then install package ipw2200 using "install packages" in mandriva control center.

$TMPWATCH_EXCLUDES is a variable which i think should be set in /etc/sysconfig/tmpwatch Take a look there after a line: TMPWATCH_EXCLUDES = something

I've installed mplayer-plugin from urpmi, and maybe some more: $ ls /usr/lib/mozilla/plugins/ libtotem-basic-plugin.xpt mplayerplug-in-qt.xpt libtotem-complex-plugin.xpt mplayerplug-in-rm.so libtotem-gmp-plugin.xpt mplayerplug-in-rm.xpt libtotem-mully-plugin.xpt mplayerplug-in.so libtotem-narrowspace-plugin.xpt mplayerplug-in-wmp.so mplayerplug-in-gmp.so mplayerplug-in-wmp.xpt mplayerplug-in-gmp.xpt mplayerplug-in.xpt mplayerplug-in-qt.so I haven't touched that folder but have insttead installed java and flash manually here: $ ls .mozilla/plugins/ flashplayer.xpt* libjavaplugin_oji.so@ libunixprintplugin.so* libflashplayer.so libnullplugin.so* All plugins work ok. Didn't know about /usr/lib/mozilla/plugins/ until now.

If you cant ping google, try to ping some ip-number. if that works, check that you have any nameserver in /etc/resolv.conf

Have you tried to update the bios? To my laptop it came an update that redused the time the fan was on, or something like that...

Whats the output of 'top' if you run that from a konsole, it will show you if some app is using a lot of cpu, and causing the slowdown. Press 'q' to get out of top btw.

. Do you know the exact name of this program? I searched and couldn't find it. My fonts in Firefox are also ugly drakfont or MCC -> System -> "Manage, add and remove fonts. Import Windows fonts."

Maybe root doesnt have write permissions on urpmi.cfg. Type ls -l /etc/urpmi/urpmi.cfg It shall look something like # ls -l /etc/urpmi/urpmi.cfg -rw-r--r-- 1 root root 6977 Jan 5 11:42 /etc/urpmi/urpmi.cfg where the "w" in that position means root can write to it.

Is that the latest? Have you done the Easy-Urpmi thing to set up internet repositories?

chown root:scanner chmod 660

Yes. First you have to become root, do so by opening a Konsole-shell, then write su (insert root's password) urpmi old_rpmdrake (press ctrl+d or write exit to stop beeing root) Oh, and first use Easy-Urpmi to set up the internet repositories, otherwise you would only get a "no package with that name found".

are you trying to ssh to the server or logging in locally on it? Via X or whitout?

run: urpmi.removemedia -a or go to "select from where software packages are downloaded..." in MCC and remove the two last ones.
