Did you say my laptop was too old for apm? lol It's not even two years old!

the CD is self-burnt.

thanks

Hi,

No, it's just that one CD.

noapic is really really bad!!! I actually tried it on LE 2006, and my computer clock went crazy. I am using a 64-bit computer (AMD Athlon 64bit) and everything seems to be much faster! like, every minute on my computer after noapic would be like only 50 seconds.

Thanks

Yeah, very strange.

$ uname -a

Linux localhost 2.6.17-5mdv #1 SMP Wed Sep 13 14:32:31 EDT 2006 i686 AMD Athlon 64 Processor 3200+ GNU/Linux

I found something out:

Last time I said my computer froze again, it was because of the CD I was trying to use. I inserted a CD in my drive and that caused the trouble. Everytime I want to use that CD, my computer freezes. It wasn't because of the old issue I had.

Thanks

Did you follow what I said in my post or not? Cos you're still using acpi, so unless you stop using it to try apm instead, you won't know if it fixes the problem or not.

Hi

Yes, I actually tried what you said, but the thing is, everything failed. My wireless wouldn't work. Ethernet also stopped working. Everything slowed down, boot process took alot longer. Also, I lost my battery monitor too!

Here's what I get when I enter apm in my linux shell:

$ apm

No APM support in kernel

what does this mean?

thanks alot

Ali

Well, it happened again, twice. Here's the latest log from /var/log/syslog:

any help?

BCM43XX is the generic linux driver for a Broadcom chip and should not be functioning at all if you are using ndiswrapper. You should remove it from being active. This could be the problem rather than acpi.

 

Try rmmod bcm43xx as root, of course.

Okay, I did remove it and reinstalled it using NDISWRAPPER now.

Here's the table of my IRQs:

# cat interrupts

CPU0

0: 923055 local-APIC-edge timer

1: 2334 IO-APIC-edge i8042

8: 1 IO-APIC-edge rtc

12: 320088 IO-APIC-edge i8042

14: 28034 IO-APIC-edge ide0

15: 11183 IO-APIC-edge ide1

16: 4 IO-APIC-level ohci1394, yenta

17: 9898 IO-APIC-level ATI IXP

19: 0 IO-APIC-level ohci_hcd:usb1, ohci_hcd:usb2, ehci_hcd:usb3

20: 0 IO-APIC-level eth1

21: 297898 IO-APIC-level acpi, ndiswrapper

NMI: 0

LOC: 923018

ERR: 1

MIS: 0

Yes, ndiswrapper and acpi are sharing the same IRQ, but not sure if that causes any problem.

Also, I don't have the PnP OS setting in my BIOS, so can't disable that either.

Thanks alot

Thanks for the reply. Well, if I turn off the acpi, then I won't be able to use the battery monitor and stuff like that, right?

I am currently using ndiswrapper.

Thanks

Hi

I recently switched to 2007 from 2006. I installed it on my Compaq r4025 laptop. It is great but it freezes every now and then. Like, it's working just fine now, and after a few minutes sometimes, hours or days, it freezes. I don't really know why it does this but everytime this happens, I have to power off the computer.

Here's what I have done:

It seems like this is because of my broadcom wireless card. Why? It's been working fine.

Can anybody help?

Thanks

Have you applied updates to your system? Cups from a normal install of Mandriva 2007 doesn't work correctly. You also need to make sure that you have cups and cups-common installed, else you'll not get a driver installed. You also have to click the administrator mode button to be able to add printers, etc.

I have done all of these. I finally got it to work this morning. Here's what I did:

- Updated my CUPS with URPMI but didn't help.

- I installed a local USB printer and the error stopped. But the problem was I couldn't print anything with that printer.

- I installed a remote printer and again, no more errors and this time printer worked just fine!

Thanks

Ali

hello guys

I installed mandriva 2007 and cups doesn't work. I keep getting this error:

"Unable to retrieve the printer list. Error message received from the manager:

Connection to CUPS server failed. Check that the CUPS server is correctly installed and running. Error: the IPP request failed for an unknown reason.

"

I reinstalled the cups server using URPMI, didn't help. I also removed cups components altogether and compiled the latest cups (1.2.6) and still get the same error.

I can use cups online administration interface on port 631.

It is really driving me crazy. Can anybody help please? Thanks

Ali
