There is usually no need to compile drivers yourself since Mandrake comes with an up to date selection. Use the MCC to experiment a bit. I don't know what module you need, but there seems to be some choise. Make sure you have closed any sound app (including kmix) before you use 'config' in the MCC. Alsa-utils should already be installed on your PC if you use ALSA (urpmi takes care of that). Good luck

Or did you make a typo? Use copy and paste. Saves you so much time.... Anyway, this file is part of libwxPythonGTK2.4-2.4.0.6-1mdk.i586.rpm for Mandrake 9.1. On my PC (mandrake 10)a new version of that file is called libwx_gtk2u-2.4.so.0. You can link this file to libwx_gtk-2.4.so.0 and ususually it will work. However if you use Mandrake 10 I think you will be better of finding rpms for *mule for that version of mandrake. Good luck Good luck.

That's the buffer. Go to the kde control center, sound and multimedia, soundsystem and use the slide to adjust the buffer setting :)

Install the XMMS arts plugin. It's in PLF I think. (change the ouput in XMMS preferences to arts plugin) Good luck

in KDE control center go to sound and multimedia, soundsystem, hardware, make sure soundcardt is autodetect or OSS. Good luck

If you have installed that file it is already on your PC. No need to go looking for it on the internet. :) To be sure open a console and type (as root), updatedb. Log out as root and type locate libwx_gtk-2.4.so.0. If it is found that means *mule is looking for it in places where it is not. So what you have to do is link the file to a place where *mule expects it. Usually the error message will tell you where that is (usr/lib or usr/local/lib or something like that) Linking HOWTO: as root type ln -s <place of file> <place where you want it to be> Good luck

I haven't the time to answer your points but most things you raise are can be explained by your lack of knowledge about Mandrake and Linux. You must be prepared to learn some new tricks when you begin with Linux and most people here are quite happy to help you along the way. If you want Mandrake to be the same as Windows you will always be disappointed. If you want a better OS (yes really, Mandrake is better then Windows) spend some time and effort in learning a new trick or 2. :)

urpmi.addmedia CD1/2/3 removable://mnt/cdrom to add the CDs urpme kdebase to make sure kde is really uninstalled urpmi kdebase to install it. (or urpmi --media CD1 kdebase to make sure you install it from disk) Good luck

It's possible to use mplayer to watch streaming real media content. I think PLF has a rpm with the codecs. Install these and it should work. However the new realplayer 10 works better. So I would advice to go with realplayer for real files PS The post by Tyme I ment is the one in this threat, 4:31Pm :D

There is something that prefends mplayer from closing down correctly and since you have problems with the sound my guess would be that it is sound related. So playing around with the ao (audio output) settings of mplayer should help you. For arts? read Tyme's post :)

Mplayer is fine. You use KDE? Put ao=arts in your config (/home/<yourname>/.mplayer/config and it should be ok. Good luck.

Do you have KDE installed? If yes try adjusting your X settings (boot into failsafe, log in as root and type XFdrake). If no, install kde. If this doesn't work try updating. Go to the Mandrake Control Center-->software-->update and then try again. If that doesn't work do a reinstall Good luck

Do 'urpmi alsa-utils' The mixer is called alsamixergui. Good luck

You should associate .torrent with the bittorent application. In KDE for example, go to the kde control center-->kde components-->file association. Typ torrent in the search field and associate the program you want use. Good luck

There is no such thing as the alsa sound server :). What probably is happening is that mplayerplug-in doesn't close down coreectly and keeps your soundcard occupied. Look in your list of active processes and see if mplayer is listed. If it is kill it. That should give you back sound.

Urpmi will take care of the dependencies so urpmi kdebase is the one command you need (don't you love it :) ) Anyway, downloading KDE by dial-up will take forever. By the time it's finished Mandrake 10.1 will be out. Better is to download all the latest packages from kde.org (the Mandrake rpms) at your work/school/friend, burn them on a CD, use the MCC to add that CD as one of your repositories and install it from there (still with urpmi kdebase) Good luck

Format the partition Linux is installed on.

I don't think it's possible 'yet' to control kde or gnome with a remote. (though I've read somewhere they are working on it, The developer of khotkeys was suppose to work on it). I use lirc and freevo to watch movies, browse pictures, play music, watch TV etc etc and control it all with my remote.. It works great but it isn't exactly what you looked for. Stiil I think at this moment it's the best you' will find. edit found something else: :) http://linuxgazette.net/104/brown.html edit Have been playing around some more :) : It is already possible to control KDE by remote, start irkick, choose settings,, new action, function of active etc etc. I haven't found out how to open and close applications and have only open applications react to remote control but I'm working on it.

First update your media (=repositories) with urpmi.update -a. And because you want to use the KDE provided by Mandrake do urpmi --media update kdebase Good luck

What's going wrong is that modprobe can't find the modules (*.ko). Have you really checked these 2 files are there? (Depmod -a updates the module 'database' so modprobe can install the new modemdrivers)) Best is to begin anew. Delete all the files from the previous installation. Do as you did before, check if you have the ko files, depmod -a, and modprobe itserial. If it doesn't work check your kernel version. If it isn't a the standard mandrake version maybe you should then compile the modules yourself. http://www.linuxquestions.org/questions/sh...p?postid=907329 Look here for information. Euh the soundcard isn't under multimedia, it's under hardware in the MCC. A strange decision by Mandrake :)

What you need is a config that works. And when you installed Mandrake you got one!! So after you hav einstalled the kernel source (from kernel.org or whatever) cd to /usr/src/linux, type make xcondig, choose open and pick /boot/config (that is the mandrake config). This gives you all the settings for a working kernel. You can change the obvious (legacy CDROM support, OSS, hamradio all the networkcards and filesystems you don't use) but don't touch anything you don't understand. Good luck

Make it yourself....... :) rightclick in /home/<your name>, new, text file and name it .i8n (don't forget the '.', this means it's a hidden file). Copy and paste this in your new .i8n. That should do it. Good luck

http://linmodems.technion.ac.il/packages/l...6/mdk-2.6.3.txt I suppose you are using this HOWTO... Make sure you have the ltmodem folder and both *.ko files before you do depmod-a(e) and modprobe itserial. Then try again. (PS drivers=modules) The AD1816 should be supported (SND_AD1816A is the module name). Try the MCC to set it up (hardware-->hardware-->soundcard and then config) Good luck

If you have installed the J2RE and limewire can't find it edit your .bashrc (hidden file in your $HOME) Add these lines: PATH=/usr/local/java/bin:$PATH export PATH JAVA_HOME=/usr/local/java export JAVA_HOME Good luck

There is a lot of information about your card here: http://www.linuxquestions.org/questions/sh...threadid=175165. Reading this I think your card isn't recognized correctly. Good luck
