These are the repositories for cooker, correct? I'm not missing anything?

I need help with connecting to the internet. I have ethernet card eth1 for connecting to the ppp0 connection.

I am using the net-applet thing in the systemtray.

After each boot both interface are up, but I can't use the internet although I can ping the ppp0 gateway.

But I have to right click on net-applet , switch 'watched interface' from eth1 to ppp0, disconnect ppp0, reconnect ppp0 before I can use the internet. This is pretty annoying. Anyone knows why this happens?

I did " cat /var/log/messages | grep RPM"

but there's tons of lines ending with installed or removed, how would I know what I'm looking for?

Yes, it installs ok but it wants to delete some package and it can't.

But, if I try to install some package using urpmi from command line, it works with no errors.

I really don't know which package. Is there a log somewhere I can look at?

ok fixed, thanks guys.

When I install a program using 'mandriva linux control center', the package downloads and installs fine, but I get this error message,

'there was a problem during the installation: unable to remove package"

Who can I solve this?

In the meantime, I've disabled harddrake at boot.

scarecrow, thanks that worked. I added the resume line in menu.lst

I bought a usb mouse.

I edited xorg.conf and changed '/dev/mouse' to '/dev/misc/psaux' to get it to work. but when I restart, it reverts back to '/dev/mouse' and my mouse stops working until I change it back to '/dev/misc/psaux' and restart X

So everytime I reboot, I have no mouse until I edit xorg.conf again.

this is very annoying so if anyone can help, it's much appreaciated.

How do I get it to stop reverting to /dev/mouse upon reboot?

when I try to hibernate using gnome-power-manager, it fails with error: "hal failed to hibernate"

How do I solve this? Is there a specific kernel I have to install to get this to work?

ok, I removed ~/.gaim and now it works again.

I also added the main and contrib repos for cooker and will download the updates packages. I'll post in new threads if there are any further problems.

I just installed mandriva using this live installable cd

mandriva-one-2007-mona-gnome-west.iso

I'm new to mandriva

when I try to launch gaim it crashes. This is what I get when I launch it from a gnome-terminal:

GTK Accessibility Module initialized
Aborted (core dumped)
