which kernel do you use? You can try switch to the kernel "kernel-multimedia-laptop" (if you don't use it yet), maybe that helps.

which program do you use to watch?

you can use 'old_rpmdrake' found i contrib

What on earth does that mean? How can you get S4 when you try to type in su? Are you talking about caps lock or num lock? :unsure: Think his numlock is on, on my laptop the numpad '4' is the same key as 'u'. 'o' is the same as '6' so he want be able to login as root eighter, whitout going into runlevel 1... @arch38: try copy'n'paste an 'u' after the 's' (if you are in X).

It could also be laptopmode that does something...

Try boot into singel user mode (runlevel 1) by pressing esc at the bootmenu and insert the name of the bootoption followed by a space and 1. Maybe you can solve your problem from there...

On my Mandriva 2006 server with Apache version 2.0.54 the webmin module for apache is configured: Apache server root directory: /etc/httpd Path to httpd executable: /usr/sbin/httpd Command to start apache: /etc/rc.d/init.d/httpd start Command to stop apache: /etc/rc.d/init.d/httpd stop Path to httpd.conf: Automatic

Is the problem that windows has it's own bootloader after lilo? In that case you should go into windows and try to turn it off in some way (I remember I have seen some place you can do that). AFAIK only M$-OS can be put in that menu...

Have been exerimenting more and found out that the new rpmdrake only search medias not marked with "update" and packages installed. Any pariticular reason why it shouldn't? Or is it a bug? BTW, have there been any updates for 2007 the last weeks? I haven't got any...

Maybe through gset-compiz?

There seems so be something strange going on with rpmdrake and smart. old_rpmdrake shows all packages while the others only shows installed... Opera is in plf: $ rpm -q opera opera-9.02-1plf2007.0

Ethereal maybe?

I meant in the windows explorer, there is a setting called that...

Did you configure it to "show hidden files" or "show system files"?

there is a package called 'kdmtheme' in the repositories, can be it, haven't tried...

if you Hibernate (or "suspend to disk") your data in the memory will be written to the swap, and then your computer will turn off. When you start it again you can choose another OS or distro. If you boot to the same distro you suspended from, everything will go fine. But if you choose another distro, which is using the same swap, it will find the saved image in the swap and try to boot from it, but when it's components and/or kernel is not the same as the other distro used, the system probably will crash. I'm dual-booting 2 distros with the same swap, everything goes fine, but once I forgot I had hibernated and tried to boot the other distro, and the system crashed.

if you don't suspend to disk in one distro, and then try to boot another, one swap is enough

choose "Custom partitioning" instead, there you can easily change mountpoints.

did yuo run it as root? It would take way too much space

Which command were you trying to run?

You have to add the repositories for main, contrib, updates etc. Use http://easyurpmi.zarb.org/ or the link to easyurpmi at the top of this page to do so.

this is a known bug, i'm having it too. I found a fixed kicker for it somewhere (kicker-compiz), just don't remember where... Edit: http://kde-apps.org/content/show.php?content=46021

compiz isn't themeable, you can just change colors as I have understood. compiz-quinnstorm/beryl on the other hand is themeable via gcompizthemer.

the boot.iso is here at any mandriva-mirror: Mandriva/official/2007.0/i586/install/images There is also a file called all.img, which you can put on a usb-stick and boot from if you don't want/can burn a cd.

kompare is quite good to compare files with...
