  1. Hi there,

     

    When I insert an SD card into my USB card reader it get`s automatically mounted in mandriva 2009.1, only problem is that it is really slow whilst writing files to it, especially if the files are large, eg greater than 50MB.

     

    If I unmount the SD card and manually mount it myself, I get fast speed as it should be.

  2. Bookmarks would be good.

    I use Gstreamer engine for HD/matroska, settings/Player Engine to switch beetween xine and gstreamer, it really is quite simple.

    Screensaver deactivation works fine under compiz/kde (for me anyway)

    Avidemux is a frontend for various converters indeed of course I know that!

     

    but thanks for your suggestions on alternative players.

  3. - Bookmarks and bookmarks management? NO

    - HD-DVD and hd-mp4/matroska playback? YES

    - Proper subtitles rendering? PROPER?

    - Screensaver deactivation while playing? YES

    - Audio and video format convertion? NO BUT USE AVIDEMUX

    - Some mildly convenient way to take screenshots of the videos played? CTRL S

     

     

    Mandriva Guru?

  4. Hi there,

     

    Whilst using Kaffeine I like to have 2 effects plugins enabled :-

     

    volnorm

    and

    eq

     

    only problem is I need to set these active each time Kaffeine starts. Is there any way of making them perminently set?

    Mandriva 2009, but had this problem since 10.1

  5. Solved!!!

     

    I removed hplip packages and cups, then re-installed them, printer now works each boot :) I guess it must have been a problem whilst upgrading from 2008.1 to 2009 as hplip and cups were already installed.

  6. Hi there,

     

    I have a HP Laserjet P1505, it works, but only after I issue commands....

     

    su

    hp-plugin

     

    which is python script that downloads a plugin, creates some symlinks and updates firmware.

    but each time I reboot Mandriva 2009 I need to repeat the above steps to initialise the printer.

     

     

    any ideas for a workaround to stop me having to do this each reboot?

  7. You did log out and select KDE4 from the menu at the login screen?

     

    hehe no i forgot about that lol, but when I do login with kde4 selected I get error message "unable to start kde4init check your installation"

  8. for the benefit of other people this is what task-kde4 does...........

     

    Metapackage for KDE4​ 

    This package is a meta-package, meaning that its purpose is to contain the complete dependencies for running the KDE4 desktop ( plus Amarok2, Koffice2, ...)

  9. Hi,

     

    Recently upgraded 2008.0 to 2008.1, I would also like to try KDE 4, i notice it`s in the repos, how do I go about upgrading to KDE 4, is it simply a case of selecting KDE 4 rpm`s in rpmdrake?
