  1. Im bringing this to the top because I have the exact same problem, with the exact same card, only difference is I'm using different monitors from the op.
  2. Last night I did some major changes to my menus. I did this as a local user, so only my profile should have been affected. I made my changes, saved them, and restarted KDE. Now I have 2 problems: 1. My menu doesnt show up as I thought it was going to. And when I reload menudrake, the default menu is shown, not the one that has my changes done. 2. When I open up 'kcontrol' there is nothing...I mean nothing, no tree on the left side of the app to choose which settings to change. i.e. look and feel, file associations, etc. Its all completely missing. Any ideas how I can get back to the original state this was all in so I can restart the process?
  3. I used mandrake from 8.0 on. When the game City of Heroes came out a year ago, I switched back to windows to be able to play with my friends (winex ran it horribly when it first came out). Mandriva 2005 let me come back to linux. I cannot say how impressed I have been with this latest release. It is incredibly powerful.
  4. I'll play too! This is the partition scheme I have used since I started using linux: Filesystem Size Used Avail Use% Mounted on /dev/sda1 1.6G 251M 1.4G 16% / /dev/sda11 11G 86M 11G 1% /emulated /dev/sda8 5.3G 223M 5.1G 5% /home /dev/sda9 16G 226M 16G 2% /opt /dev/sda12 28G 22G 4.3G 84% /stuff /dev/sda10 1.1G 676k 1.1G 1% /tmp /dev/sda6 8.4G 3.3G 5.2G 39% /usr /dev/sda7 8.4G 324M 8.1G 4% /var '/' is as large as it is because I like to play with different kernels from time to time and want to ensure I have more than enough space for it. '/emulated' holds my virtual machines for vmware. '/home' is ONLY used for user configuration folders and files. As I'm the only user on my linux boxes it works great. '/opt' gets programs that cant be installed via mandrake rpm, or different versions programs; for instance, I have firefox 1.0.4 housed there because the mandrake rpm keeps it listed as 1.0.2. It also has my fake c drive for cedega as well as all of my games. '/stuff' is where I keep all my mp3, documents, movies, etc. All of my samba mount points are here as well (to clarify: the ones that I share are in /stuff, shares of other pc's I mount mount to /mnt). I use reiserfs on all these partitions except for /stuff which uses xfs. I do this because at least for me, I feel it gives me better control over where things are installed and managed. This way if I break the install of some program, it was installed to a place that I can remove it without being root. This way I can play with programs and such without the fear of destroying a root controlled area. (which I have been known to do.)
  5. you may also want to look at streamtuner which browses live365 and shoutcast stations. http://www.nongnu.org/streamtuner/
  6. OK, I have the same hardware and the above instructions got me the driver working and much better fps in glxgears.

  7. I am so irritated with Mandrake 10 right now. I have a slew of errors. I have no sound KDE balks on startup about Knotify (do you want to disable arts?) Then KDE just hangs at either "Loading Peripherals", or "Loading the Panel" and never actually starts. On a fresh reboot, sometimes KDE will start with just the knotify error, but when I get into it, I have no desktop. I can't right-click on the desktop, etc. Mandrake 9.2 was amazing on this machine, now it is so broken IMO that it is a joke. I've lost almost all desire to fool with linux distro's and beat them into submission. I want a distro that just works. Mandrake used to be just that for me, but now it just sucks. yeah, as we speak, its just blinking "Loading the Panel"

    I'm having this same problem as well. Its infuriating, and has kept me on my mac more and more. I have a usb mouse, but I use one of the dongles to make it a ps/2, and thats plugged into a KVM. Sounds like a headache to me.
  9. Add-on: How can I make other apps see kde in /opt as well?
  10. I ended up just using kdm instead of gdm, I never sit at the login screen long enough to enjoy a nice gdm theme anyways. thanks though paul.
  11. Just installed mandrake 10 Official. I did an extremely base install, and later installed KDE through konstruct and installed it to /opt. How can I make KDE see things like alsa? Because right now, it does not see alsa. i.e., if I go into the sound server options, alsa is not an option.
  12. I'm beating my head against the wall on this one here. I have been having an insane amount of problems with KDE in mandrake 10.0 Official. So I built KDE myself in /opt/kde3.2.2. Now, how do I add that to my gdm configuration, so I can choose it from the dropdown? google searches have been little help.
  13. you need to move up through the directories. cd4 is in a different folder. why that is? I have no idea
  14. buy it. without question. I bought a 12" powerbook almost a year ago, and it has been the best computer I have ever owned. I have never been happier with a sales team, customer support team, or the product itself. I use OSX exclusively on it, as it comes with X11 installed by default, so every program I ran in linux, I can run in OSX. check it: super sized screenie: http://www.hostdub.com/albums/ezroller/screenie.jpg Thats OSX, GAIM, Konqueror, Fluxbox, iTunes(OSX), Eterm, and Konfabulator(OSX) I did run Gentoo 2004.0 on it for a while, but I missed OSX.
  15. I have installed 9.1 on a rev b 12" powerbook. I had to use the text based install and the benh kernel.
  16. just my luck that I decide to start using mandrake again on a day that the servers are all down.....
  17. This distro was made a few miles away from my house. One of my coworkers ran it to see how it was, and was neither impressed nor dissapointed by it.
  18. found this website as a link off of distrowatch. I got very good download speeds as well. you can also buy cd's from them. http://www.loadux.com/

    I have exactly what you're looking for: its not free, but it kicks ass!!! http://www.litepc.com/xplite.html
  20. does streamripper even support icecast 2?
  21. try holding the "option" button down just as you would with the "c" key if you wanted to boot a cd. "option" will give you apples built in bootloader.
  22. this thread may help you with getting KDE upgraded: http://www.mandrakeusers.org/index.php?sho...topic=11367&hl=
  23. apple's disk utility works just fine for me.
  24. Truth be told. I had a first date on friday evening, and didn't bring her home until sunday night. I was ok without the computer!!!! lemme know how the install goes.
  25. sorry it took me so long to reply, I was away from my computer all weekend. You will be fine. installing the benh kernel is just something you do at the first boot. just press "F1" for more options when it offers you that option.
