i am really confused. it now crashes less frequently, when i leave the computer for long periods of time. sometimes when i go to sleep. my laptop is pretty much on 24/7.
at first i thought it was a heat problem as i switched of ACPI and Laptop Mode but then i raised the laptop to give it extra airflow.

another tool if u choose to use it is Gparter. its a non distructive NTFS resizer that runs on Linux, and is on a Live Boot CD. uses gnome interface. very handy
-
-
what a simple solution, laptop-mode solved it. thank you ALL!
[solved]
-
something new i found out:
by doing what i did above(commenting the action) i lost the ability to log out after i logged into an account. so i did away with the commenting and now im just stopped using laptop-mode
-
i did some searching through mandrivaclub forum...which is not that great a forum but found someones "solution"
went into /etc/acpi/events/lm_lid.txt which was this
event=button[ /]lid action=/etc/acpi/actions/lm_lid.sh %e
and commented the action by putting # infront of it. AND IT WORKS! no more hanging. however, my wireless dies after awhile when i close the lid. so im going to try to stop the laptop service and see what happens then.
-
is there away to keep this suspend turned off? or is it hardcoded into the OS?
-
i dont really want to suspend or sleep anything. cause i want to keep processing and downloading in the background.
-
this time happened without azureus... this seems a pretty serious problem... sounds stupid, but i will try not closing the lid
-
this was exactly what happened. was running kopete and azureus. closed the lid.went away... and it hung

thanks ianw1974 .....this deserves a [solved]

more problems strike me. this has been going on for awhile. mandriva hangs.... and it does it when im not around at my computer. i close my laptop lid and walk away and when i come back maybe an hour or so later it would have hung.... or it could be a few hours.
im not an expert but i was thinking it would have to do with my Laptop battery monitor that doesnt work (cause it doesnt tell me when i have no battery left) or maybe azureus. mandriva generates a crash file... but how do i read it? please advise.
TIA

thanks again ian. everything is back to normal... well more to back to square one. any idea on how do add a networked printer which is on a windows machine. or point me to a tutorial. cause i dont understand all the CUPS things...
-
thanks ianw1974. saving me as usual :) cheers
but i still havent got CUPS working. when i open Set up the Printer(s),the print job queues under MCC it opens up Printerdrake which says
Please waitSetting Default Printer....
and that just hangs there :( much help appreciated.
-
i seem to run into a lot of problems. maybe cause im just getting into something very unfamiliar.
anyway. the new problem is this
Starting CUPS printing system [OK]Waiting for the CUPS daemon getting ready
i was trying to get some home networking going. everything seemed okay with samba. but when i tried to install a networked printer printerdrake hung. fair enough. then i closed it at started MCC up again and now was able to use the printer menu. i played around with a few settings (to be honest im not sure what. im sorry).... still couldnt get my networked printer to work so i rebooted. and thats when it hangs. the verbose boot screen is on forever. im using windows now :( help me dig me out of a grave.
TIA
-
main question solved. thank you. wouldnt install it at first until i did urpmi --clean :) learn something new everyday
what about my slow graphics?
-
evrything looks fine in KDE :) but things are terrible in Gnome. i cant seem to get a panel so therefore i cant configure how gnome looks or look at the time or even log out. i dont think i did anything to Gnome at all. i wanted to try it cause its supposed to be a simplified desktop (kinda). my icons are still on the desktop though. so i can lauch firefox and what not without using the terminal.
please help. TIA
edit: oh. and for some reason graphics arent as smooth as windows XP. for example on my blog (in my signature) when i click on a thumbnail the javascript photos should run smoothly but in mandriva its choppy and slow.

thanks for all your help guys. i have installed mplayer succesfully and added the GUI to it so its now gmplayer. but it gives me this

hi all.
i like linux(especially mandriva)...and i think it will suit me in due time and i could defiantely make the full switch to Linux and dump windows. but i have run into some problems which is the installation of software
i've become quite efficient at compiling sources using the ./configure and make commands. i try to keep most of my software in /opt directory (dont ask me why), stuff like LAMPP ,firefox, thunderbird and azureus.
but for some things i dont know really where they are installed to when i make them. i just downloaded mplayer to play my wmv files but when i try to launch it from the konsole, it goes it comes up as text in the console rather than launching a GUI like firefox. is there a certain way to install this or am i just missunderstanding the process?
this is what i did:
1. untar mplayer
2.move the untared directory to /opt
3. from /opt/mplayer i use the ./configure command
4. then i use the make command
5. and then the make install command
6. lastly i try to run the program by typing ./mplayer ( it launches but not as a GUI)
please help. TIA
