Since I have a free version of the distrobution I selected...

 

version "2007 community"

architecture "x86_64"

package manager "urpmi"

 

... but the following two options are not available...

 

- main_updates

- contrib_updates

 

Does that matter?

You shall use 2007 official, the community version is for development AFAIK.

You need to write the whole filename i think;

# rpm -iv j2re-1_4_2_13-linux-i586.rpm

Use easyurpmi (link at the top of this page) to set up the repositories for your computer.

Once you have done that you can navigate to install the software in MCC (configure your computer), just search for ipw2200.

MCC ... ? = Mandriva control center?

I'm sorry, there's no possibility to set system security level and the periodic security audit in my control center (MDV 2007 Free). There are settings for firewall only. How to get settings for security level? Thank you!

If you use kde you can install ksynaptics, then you can change settings from kde control center.

I'm still ( :o :unsure: ) using LE2005, I'm afraid. But thanks, anyway.

sorry, didn't know that

install the package 'libstdc++5'

ripperx is in mandriva 2007's repositories, no need to compile it yourself if it's not nessecary.

Just do a

urpmi ripperx

as root to install it (if you're using mdv2007).

try removing or reinstalling apache-mod_auth_radius-2.0.54_1.5.7-4mdk...

run

rpm -qa | grep apache

to see what apache-packages you have installed.

How are you trying to install it?

You should be able to do it by dubble-clicking on the icon, and then insert the root-password when prompted.

Is the device manager where you assign different letter to partitions?

Have you done that?

Even if it doesn't solve the problem permanently, you can save the kde session with a konsole opened, to make it work each time you start kde at least

you miss the

table=/dev/hda

at the vista entry...

most probably you need the package "lisa"...

run

kcmshell arts

or go to KDE ControlCenter -> Sound & Multimedia -> Sound System

and turn Auto-suspend to a lower value, then try again...

try turn of cache in konqueror by going to KDE ControlCenter (kcontrol) -> Internet &network -> web browser -> cache or by just running

kcmshell cache

and uncheck "use cache".

Yes.

 

What, you think that was just chance that Gowator and I said that?

 

:P

the amule that is in mandrivas repositories is:

/usr/bin/amule

and

/usr/bin/amulegui

Try right clicking on kicker somewhere and choose something like configure or properties. No need to edit textfiles if you don't want to do it. It can be done in a GUI.

Once I had a problem with the big "icon mouseover effects", the controls should have been in kcontrol, but they wasn't. I had to solve it by adding some lines to a file.

In the file

.kde/share/config/ktaskbarrc

add a a line

ShowAllWindows=false

under [General]

If there is no [General] then simply make one line with that first.

You may have to logout/login before the changes take effect.

Hope it helps!

By running

drakboot --splash

you are able to change between installed splash-themes.

There is also a package with different themes: bootsplash-themes

it's a file not a directory, run

cat /etc/fstab

to display the content.

open a terminal and write

mkdir /mnt/old
mount /dev/hdaX /mnt/old
cd /mnt/old/boot/
mv <path/to/your/backup> initrd-2.6.17-5mdv.img
cd
umount /mnt/old

where you replace hdaX with the right partition.

You probably have to be root to do this if you do this from a livecd, I havent tried so I don't know...
