Can't wait for the end of the exams to upgrade, he? :)
-
BTW, I've just noticed this issue is natively solved in 2008.1 version, at least on my machine.
-
That's exactly what my wife keeps telling me. And I have another idea - Linux-in-the-wide-sense forum, meaning not only desktops, but also kernel, using linux on servers, DSP's etc.

I will be glad to help with anything concerning technical computing softwares, or in other words - free alternatives for Matlab (though I'm mainly familiar with Octave).
-
What a speech! -applause- As I see it, this is one more place for me to annoy you guys and girls. Don't worry, there's enough from me for everybody!
-
I don't know what forum software you are going to use, but I hope it will be supported by search engines and features. The search in mandrivausers doesn't always work properly, and a forum, as a knowledge base, must have strong and convenient search capabilities. Good luck!

OK, thanks. I guess my memory is not what it used to be.

Hi everyone, I'd like to install Google Picasa. In 2007.0 and 2007.1 I installed it directly from a link in the Applications bar, and the files were in the repos. I can't find it now. I know it is available on Google's site, but I prefer to install it from the repos. Does anyone know where did the files go? :blink:

Hey there, I upgraded successfully about two weeks ago from MDV 2008.0 to 2008.1. When I try to run F-spot Photo Manager from terminal, I get the following error: [username@localhost ~]$ f-spot ** (/usr/lib/f-spot/f-spot.exe:7279): WARNING **: The following assembly referenced from /usr/lib/f-spot/f-spot.exe could not be loaded: Assembly: gnome-sharp (assemblyref_index=13) Version: 2.20.0.0 Public Key: 35e10195dab3c99f The assembly was not found in the Global Assembly Cache, a path listed in the MONO_PATH environment variable, or in the location of the executing assembly (/usr/lib/f-spot). ** (/usr/lib/f-spot/f-spot.exe:7279): WARNING **: Could not load file or assembly 'gnome-sharp, Version=2.20.0.0, Culture=neutral, PublicKeyToken=35e10195dab3c99f' or one of its dependencies.

File name: 'gnome-sharp, Version=2.20.0.0, Culture=neutral, PublicKeyToken=35e10195dab3c99f' It seems like in the upgrade process from Gnome 2.20.0 to 2.22.0 something went wrong. Did anyone else encounter this phenomena?
-
Though the upgrade process itself is quite short and simple, I recommend not to upgrade in mission-critical times. Good luck with the exams (It's due to the strike in the first semester, I guess).

Mandriva 2008.1 One Gnome - Installation Tutorial
yossarian replied to spinynorman's topic in Installing Mandriva
Thanks. There are a few interesting things there. For example, I didn't know there was Skype packaged for Mandriva. And a stupid question: How do they make the screenshots of the windows in the installation process? If the OS is not loaded yet, how do they run the program that captures the screen? -
Wow, that did the trick. Thanks!

:unsure:

I uninstalled and reinstalled the 2.6.24.4 kernel and now it runs perfectly from the Grub. Guys - you are Mean Lean Linux Machine! :D So I'm left with the gnome daemon settings issue, which really annoys me. Any ideas?
-
OK, thanks a lot. I'll try it later today when I get home. Regarding the Gnome problem - as I mentioned, I don't think it's a bug. It's a specific file which was skipped during the installation. I think the reason is bad reading of the media. When I re-installed from the CD's it did install something from CD2 (in which the problem occurred), but still I get the same error message. And about removing old kernels - how exactly do I do that? I mean, there are many files in rpmdrake which refer to kernel (dev, desktop, etc.). Which exactly do I need to remove?
-
I re-installed Grub from the discs, but that didn't help. I also tried to re-install the whole OS from the CD's . After finding that all the packages are updated (unsurprisingly), I got a screen saying that I'm starting the post-installation stage, and then I got the following message: An error occurred. Undefined subroutine &MDK::Common::System::uniq:: called After clicking OK I got the error message: media.cfg not found And from there nothing helps besides a hard restart to the computer. So I've never gone through the post-installation phase, probably a lot of configurations missing. It also happened to me the first time I upgraded, I just wasn't sure if it would have any effect (I thought maybe it's just for setting the locale or something). Furthermore, I experienced exactly the same thing with my PC, so I thought maybe the media itself is damaged. I double-checked the md5 file of the third CD's iso and re-burnt it, but the result is the same. Am I the only one encountering this problem? I'm a bit surprised, as it happened on two different machines. And should I edit the grub manually?

Hi all, 1. I upgraded my laptop from 2008.0 to 2008.1 using the Free CD's. All went well, besides a certain file that was missing on CD2 (maybe the CD itself was damaged). After a few trials of installation I finally skipped the file. I do not remember its name, but the words "gnome" and "daemon" were in it. The rest of the installation went smoothly. Now, every time I login, I get the following message in a white box: There was an error starting the GNOME Settings Daemon. Some things, such as themes, sounds, or background settings may not work correctly. The last error message was: The name org.gnome.SettingsDaemon was not provided by any .service files GNOME will still try to restart the Settings Daemon next time you log in. And I need to click OK. How can I repair it? I already configured my repos through urpmi, and no file was updated. Can I find the missing file? Is it worthwhile to try the "repair installation" from the CD's? Do I have other choices? 2. And another thing: Opening a terminal and typing "uname -a" yeilds: Linux localhost 2.6.22.18-desktop586-1mdv #1 SMP Mon Feb 11 12:21:41 EST 2008 i686 Mobile Intel(R) Pentium(R) III CPU - M 1200MHz GNU/Linux 2.6.22.18? Furthermore, I did the same upgrade procedure on my PC, and same goes there. Does it mean the new kernel was not installed and compiled? Is it normal? Do I need to fix this? Thanks!
-
And I'd like to add: as for 12 hours ago (maybe things changed since then), the urpmi update from the MCC finds only four updated repos, none of them works. easy-urpmi also doesn't offer updates for 2008.1 yet. How can I update the OS? For example, I upgraded with MDV Free from 2008.0 to 2008.1 yesterday. The 3-D effects don't work, I suspect it's because I didn't install the proprietary Nvidia driver (which doesn't come with Free version, if I understand correctly). In what repos can I find it? Other than that, the upgrade worked wonderfully out of the box. Thanks!
-
I didn't use torrent. I downloaded it directly from the directory. Anyway, good to hear you managed. Good luck!
-
Try downloading from here: ftp://ftp.nluug.nl/pub/os/Linux/distr/Man...ial/iso/2008.1/ For me it worked very quickly.

Thank you to both of you.
