Hi,

I am using Kopete 0.10.3 when I start the computer Wallet is asking me for the Password and then Kopete is connecting to the Internet.

If I do not enter the password or if I make a mistake Kopete will open and stay offline.

How do I reconnect Kopete to the Internet? I didn'd find anything to reconnect in the menu of Kopete?!

Thanks

So I need to change my Graphic card?

Works,

Thank you!

Hi,

In Kontact there is the Mandriva welcome letter. Now I deleted it, but the letter is comming back all the time (after I restart the computer - the next day)?

I have 3D acceleration enabled - still Google Earth start, but then shuts down.

How can I see my settings?

Google Earth was working very good with Windows and the system is the same...

Hi,

I successfully installed Google Earth on my computer (Mandriva 2006)

The program starts normally but then after a minute or so when I move the earth around it just shuts down without any error message?

How can I see what I used when setting my urpmi repos?

Thanks,

Now it's working. I runned FXdrake and changed my settings to my card.

How do I do that?

You may want to update your urpmi database

[root@bzq-84-108-100-88 shimshon]#

What now?

Also checkout the services session of MCC, cups should be listed there as a service. you can set it from there to be loaded as system startup, or manually.

cups is not listed!

I want to update my graphic driver.

In the console I typed this:

[root@bzq-84-108-100-88 shimshon]# svn co http://svn.openchrome.org/svn/trunk openchrome

and I get following answer:

bash: svn: command not found

[root@bzq-84-108-100-88 shimshon]#

I got this code from: http://www.openchrome.org/trac

What is going wrong?

I looked at Linuxprinting.org and followed the installation instructions.

First I checked if I have the driver with this command:

[root@bzq-84-108-100-88 shimshon]# rpm -qa | grep hplip

hplip-hpijs-0.9.4-6mdk

Then I tried to connect the printer with this commands:

[root@bzq-84-108-100-88 shimshon]# /etc/init.d/cups restart

bash: /etc/init.d/cups: No such file or directory

[root@bzq-84-108-100-88 shimshon]# /etc/init.d/cupsys restart

bash: /etc/init.d/cupsys: No such file or directory

And that is how far I got!

How do I install the Printer, with the MCC it doesn't work

I tried with Konqueror. I can see the movie but I do not hear any sound..

I also noticed that on most sites when I browse I cant hear music or see videos.

My sound card is working. I can hear music and see video if it's played from my hard drive..

Hi,

Did what you said and the radio is still not working.

This where the answer from the Console:

[root@bzq-84-108-104-151 shimshon]# rpm -qa | grep mplayer

mplayerplugin-3.11-1mdk

mplayer-1.0-1.pre7.20051220.0.1.20060plf

[root@bzq-84-108-104-151 shimshon]# rpm -qa | grep codec

win32-codecs-1.7-2plf

[root@bzq-84-108-104-151 shimshon]# urpmi mplayerplugin-3.11-1mdk mplayer-1.0-1.pre7.20051220.0.1.20060plf win32-codecs-1.7-2plf

The package(s) are already installed

The following package names were assumed: win32-codecs, mplayerplugin, mplayer

[root@bzq-84-108-104-151 shimshon]#

Thanks,

everything is sorted out now

Thanks a lot, it's working.

Takes some time to get use to it after years of Windows...

But I would like to create a shortcut...

Can't find any /usr/bin directory.

Where is Skype located?

Hi,

I downloaded skype as an rpm, located it and double clicked it to install. It was installed, but I can't find it?

Thanks
