  1. When the printer is connected to the computer and i start it up i get the following message;

     

    Please insert the medium named "installation i586 CD 1" on device [/dev/hdc]

     

    I have been looking for a driver and have found "hplip-2.7.7.run". So could someone tell this old n00b how i can install the driver please. Thanks for all help and advice.

  2. Have been trying and failing to install the latest version of Skype. Whenever i double click on the Skype rpm file and then click on install i am informed that:

     

    Some requested packages cannot be installed:

    skype-1.4.0.99-mdv.i586 (due to unsatisfied

    libQtDBus.so.4) continue installation anyway.

     

    Hope someone can help me find a way around this problem. Thanks in advance

  3. Hi SoulSe

    To be honest with you i am a Linux n00b and although i use a NETGEAR DG834G Modem/Router to get online i have connected the Photosmart C4180 All-in-One to my computer. I didn't even know about using a Linux driver from HP or even how to install one if i did. Could i connect the printer to the ModemRouter via another Ethernet cable? Any help and advice would be really appreciated. Big thanks

  4. I have just purchased an HP Photosmart C4180 All-in-One printer, copier, scanner and set it up to my computer which is running Mandriva Spring "Free". I connect to the internet via a Netgear DG834G Modem/Router but for some reason it will not print out anything. Would appreciate any and all help and advice. Big thanks

  5. I am currently running Mandriva Spring "Free" which i obtained from a computer magazine but having a lot of problems with the program sticking and crashing etc. So i have decided to purchase the boxed version of Mandriva Spring and would like to find out if it would be possible to install the boxed version of Mandriva over the "free" version. Thanks for any help/advice.

  6. Know this is going to seem stupid but i've forgotten how/where to check if Firefox has got JavaScript enabled. I also use Konqueror and Opera browsers and experience the same problem with them as well.

     

    I went upto the main menu in Firefox and under "Tools" i clicked on "Error Console" and there's a load of problems there?

     

    Really appreciate any and all help.

  7. Riight! I am running Mandriva Spring and i get online via a NetGear "DG834G" Wireless ADSL Modem/Router. I have had no problem what-so-ever surfing the web except i cannot access my ISP's website at: http://www.tiscali.co.uk/forums/index.php? All i get is the following message:

     

    Unable to connect

    Firefox can't establish a connection to the serverat www.tiscali.co.uk

     

    The site could be temporarily unavailable or too busy. Try again in a few moments.

     

    If you are unable to load any pages, check your computer's network connection.

     

    If your computer or network is protected by a firewall or proxy, make sure that Firefox is permitted to access the web

  8. I really enjoy running Mandriva Spring and was very surprised just how easy it was to get online via a NETGEAR "DG834G" Modem/Router. But for some reason i can't access my ISP's "Tiscali" Website. I have tried changing the MTU setting and even disabling the SPI but no change. Does anyone have any idea what might be the problem and a possible remedy please. Thanks all.

  9. Have installed Mandriva Spring onto my spare computer and all went well. I have been trying to get online via Netgear "DG834G" 54Mbps Wireless ADSL2 + Router. But have failed at every attempt.

     

    I have opened a terminal, konsole and typed: ifconfig, and this was the reply:

     

    ifconfig

    bash: ifconfig: command not found

    [Colin@Tiscali ~]$

     

    When i open a terminal, konsole there is one item listed: [Colin@Tiscali ~]$

    Could this be the reason why i can't get online? Because i entered my name "Colin" instead of my Tiscali username and password?

    If so can i un-install Mandriva Spring or can i just re-install Mandriva Spring to over write the previous installation?

    Thanks for any and all help
