OK I hane mencoder, but I don't know how to use it. There doesn't seem to be a gui, nad in a terminal I can't get a help list Is there a trick to this?

I tried to do what bvc suggested, but it didn't change anything, my menus still didn't work.

I don't remember what command I used, but the files are titled HEDWIG1-1.vob, HEDWIG1-2.vob, and HEDWIG1-3.vob. I tried to install dvdrip and it listed about 20 different conflicts, so I am installing mencoder and acidvd.

I recently ripped my first DVD and I was surprised at how easy it was, I used vorbis in a terminal, BUT I can't play the file. Is there something I need to do? Did I do something wrong? Do I need a codec? I am using mplayer.

Ok I have done my 6th reinstall since I have started having problems wiith menus. Now what do I do to fix the problem. I have been having the same problem in 9.1 and 9.2 . I have never had a problem with my menus before, I had it customized. I am not having any problems now, but I am afraid to change anything. How do I fix this?

I don't have a menu for rpmdrake and it won't do any updates through a terminal. I have reinstalled 9.2 twice, and now 9.1 on my other harddrive is doing the same thing, I have also reinstalled it twice. Nothing I seem to do fixes the problem. This really makes me wonder about mandrake. Mandrake isn't near as cool without menus.

I have tried the update, but I will try it again.

I have tried the update-menus -v and it doesn't work. Everytime I try to change my menu I get: ERROR: Couldn't attach to DCOP server! What is going wrong and how do I fix it if the update doesn't work. I saw the other thread on this and there was a big long process that is supposed to fix it. If there isn't a better way to do this, I am going back to 9.1. Can anyone tell me how to fix my menus?

WOW!! I am really amazed at how messed up my menus are in 9.2! I have tried to do the fix and it doesn't do any thing. I have NO, thats right NO menus in KDE and in fluxbox I am missing some very important things, like packages, and configuration. What is my next step? reinstalling? It seems that there would be a reliable fix for a problem this glaring. Currently I am a man of few choices (ha ha).

Yeah, it only takes 3 or 4 times before I learn my lesson.

I had to go into aumix and turn up the volume

9.1 just crashed on me and I had to reinstall, but for some reason I am not getting any sound from xmms. The alert beeps works, but no music. I think this happened the vey first time I installed 9.1 in june, but I have never had a problem with it since.

I have skimed through it, but I think I made a mistake when I first downloaded it, I tried to run it and it asked for information I didn't have yet, and since then it will not start

I have a sound blaster live card, when I was using microshaft windoze I could have an mp3 playing and then record it with another app into a wav file, I even had two other sound files playing and recorded them with a third app. I was making a long recording of Hyla regila(Pacific tree frog) from a short recording.

I guess I should have mentioned, I am still on 9.1, I don't know what the differences are, but I didn't think it would that big

I want to be able to record sound that is playing on a DVD. I tried a bunch of different recorders, maybe I just don't know how to use them. Anybody done much recording or mixing?

check with riorama he is running a virtual network, on 9.1 or 9.2 not sure, using vmware. He is also running windoze xp on vmware.

I forgot to add that when I try to start the GUI it just gives me a blank Xwindow

I can't seem to get Grass to workI get an error Location_name not set Can anyone help me out?

I have kppp in my menu, so I just right click and scroll down, you can do that with menudrake, and the command is just kppp, that is also how you run it from a terminal.

sorry, yeah Graphic Information Systems. I checked rpm find a couple of months ago and didn't find any rpms of GIS, but I will try sourceforge. thanks

Does anybody know if there is any type of GIS software for Mandrake?

How do you make a regular audio cd from mp3 and ogg files in Mandrake?

That works great! I just wasn't sure how to separate them into different commands on the same line. Thanks

I am using fluxbox and I was wondering if it is possible to configure the menu so that mulitple functions will happen from one icon? So I have an icon for xmms, can I make a new one that will start xmms, open nautilis, and start kppp?
