Shame it doesnt come out in other european countries, I would definitely buy one. For sure they will wait till they see people demand for it, so hope to see it around shortly...

Not entirely true... I used first versions of lmule, then early releases of xMule and now aMule and I have to say that latest beta version 2.0 RC5 is very stable (I had it running for 10 days once). But anyway, I always have an script I made running so it checks wheter aMule is working and, in case is not, will restart it... can you do that in window$ ?? Because eMule for window$ crashes as well, doesnt it? But I agree with you that earlier verions werent that stable at all and did crash quite often. After all is a project in an early stage so you know what to expect... although as i said the 2.0 branch is getting very stable. You can always report the bugs you find so will help devs to make it better. I would rather recommend anyone to use aMule -even not being that stable- than to reboot into window$ where if the app doesnt crash the OS will do. :lol:

well, technically speaking, my switch should have a slightly faster transfer rate ;) less packet collision. but really, it averaged 1.4-1.7 even so, it -is- a damned fast transfer rate. I transfered 1.5gb in about 15-20 minutes. not bad ;) <{POST_SNAPBACK}> 1.5 GB are (1.5x1024=)1536MB --> 1536 MegaBytes Your NIC works at 100 Megabits per second (Mbps), and 1 byte = 8 bites, so 100/8 = 12.5, your NIC works at 12.5 MB/second, but thats just in theory. In reallity top ethernet speed is about 1/3 of the peak rate, so that makes a 100 Mbps NIC speed to be somewhere around (12.5 / 3 =) 4 MB/sec, and then you have overheat and other factors that do dicrease this speed. Mine works at about an average of 2.5 - 3 MB/sec, so i wouldnt consider yours' speed as a 'dammed fast transfer rate' but just as a lower-than-average though still normal transfer rate. Now we divide 1536 MB / 1.5 MB = 1024 seconds 1024 seconds / 60 = 17 minutes Those figures are more or less what you said you got.

I think you can still visit the pages via: http://mandrakeuser.org No need to login nowhere...

To avoid being asked about wrong signatures, issue the urpmi command as follows: yes | urpmi --auto-select It works like a charm, no more questions asked B) I first heard of it in www.mandrakeclub.com but dont know how it does to answer the questions, if anyone can explain how it works i'll be grateful.

Glad to hear that, Happy sharing !!

I get the same message, but the driver installed and works fine under MDK 10.1 beta. Only NVIDIA video card here!.

:unsure: :unsure: IMHO you are the one getting a litle bit out of hand, calm down mate, and keep in mind that you are talking about the unselfish work of others, i think that should deserve your respect. :deal: I didn't install amule from rpm (altought it should work with the too), try downloading the tarball and follow this instructions: tar -zxvf aMule-X.X.X.tar.gz (replace X with the right version number..) cd aMule-X.X.X ./configure --disable-debug --enable-optimise && make When that finishes you can try to start aMule: cd aMule-X.X.X/src ./amule ----------------------------------------------------------------------------- Remember that you need to have installed all this before compiling aMule: wxGTK-2.4.2-1.i386.rpm wxGTK-devel-2.4.2-1.i386.rpm wxBase-2.4.2-1.i586.rpm libcryptopp5-5.1-2mdk.i586.rpm libcryptopp5-devel-5.1-2mdk.i586.rpm In this url you can download them all and follow the instructions to install them. Good luck.

I use aMule and must tell you that everything you need you can download from their download section, and they do have their own forums (where you could have made this question), in one of them (amule_help i pressume) there is a sticky post with step-by-step instructions on how to install everything aMule needs and the program itself, which i followed and have had the prog working for a loooooong time.

They did ask, not very long ago, I did offer help but somebody else came up who was better prepared to do the translation, I didnt bother to find out what happened in the end. If you wanna find out, this is the address of the guy who asked for spanish translators: gduval AT mandrakesoft.com Just drop him an email. There is BloqDrake, chek it out, theyve got forums, tutorials and some other stuff. Oh, btw, have a look here, where the people of Bloqdrake talked about the mandrakelinux.com translation. Regards,

Im just guessing here, but, somewhere in /var/log/syslog ??

Yeah, that sounds like the windows 'magic' we all know about and love... Glad to hear everything is ok now.

Try gkrellm, should be on your cds (if u are using mdk)

You did what ? You did follow Echylo's (nice but somehow incomplete) instructions or the far more detailed ones at the FAQ & HOWTOs forum I pointed out ? I doubt you've done the latest... Anyway I wouldnt recommend you to reinstall neither, post errors and s/b will help you out.

Would be nice to be answered about that...

Or you could've search the 'Frequently Asked Questions and How To's' and you could have found this post where the procedure is explained in very detailed steps. :deal: Good luck

I have heard SP2 turns the windows firewall on by default, have you tried to disable it? or are you quite sure is set to allow those connections?? Or maybe, are you sure that windows machine is sharing its drives? Can the other windows see those drives? No drives being shared would explain why liinux can see the machine in smb4k but not mount the drives...

jlarter, I had the same problem too but i just didnt bother and stuck with the old drivers, I just thought i had done something wrong... Then i upgraded to MDK 10.1 beta1 and the driver installed fine in the new kernel 2.6.8-0.rc2.2mdk, so I guess you only get the error when installing over a kernel which had a previous version of the driver already installed, but dont know this for sure... anyway I just wanna ask you to please post whatever you do to make it work so we all know. Thanks and good luck.

Hi there! Some Qs: - Whats an acces point ?? - Can you post the netmask you use for those ips ? Do they all use the same? - Linux can ping windows but windows cannot ping linux, can windows ping the router ? If windows cannot ping the router, try to see if it can ping the address 127.0.0.1, if it cannot, then itll mean the protocol TCP/IP is not correctly installed, so uninstall it and install it again, btw, what windows are u using? And can you post the output of this commands please (from the linux machine): - ifconfig - route I have never had the need to touch the files /etc/hosts.allow and /etc/hosts.deny, do yours content anything else than comments? (Mine are empty apart from a few comments) I think that mandrakes firewall is off by default, but you can check in the Mandrake Control Center. Ah btw, this got nothing to do with samba :P

As can be seen in the title, he's running Mandrake 10 ;) Truly... forget about that question, answer the other two

Well done, welcome to this community. I'm sure you'll love it. - What distro are u using? Mandrakelinux?? - How did you set the security setting during instalation? Higher than 'standard' ?? - Have you set up networking correctly? can you ping your window$ box from the linux one?

Not really,because Firefox is a external browser from Mozilla. But both based on the best Engine: Gecko <{POST_SNAPBACK}> Well, yeah, what i meant was that they're different in terms of installation, since both have their own, and that firefox is a stand alone browser, which is what i was talking about, youve taken the sentence out-of-context. Apart from that, I agree: Gecko goooooood

I have a celeron 400 mhz with 320 mb ram and MDK 10.0 OE and it works fine, although i do not use neither kde nor gnome. I only access the pc via vnc with xfce and it runs smoothly, my guess is that with a 800 celeron, 10.0 should run without problems.

Oh well... I was gonna buy the game, or better, the linux version of the game to show support so other companies will take linux into account too, but with this approach of buying a window$ version of the game and then downloading the linux installer off the web Im better off saving my money and just downloading the installer, they wont be able to know wheter i really bought the game or not and my download will count me as a 'linux gamer' anyway, so whats the point on spending the money now? I dont really like that kind of games anyway, as i said, i just wanted to show linux support, i dont want to buy no window$ version no way.

There is no Jidgo for Mandrake AFAIK. and instead we have bittorrent...
