According to google freewnn is a client-server based input system and freewnn is the server. I guess you need a client like kinput2. Good luck

No it's not possible :(. (PSYou can completely remove the taskbar from kicker and use a menu bar on top of your screen 'apple' style)

Ok it seems to be a linux/alsa thing. Can you check /var/log/messages and post the obvious alsa parts. PS Yes that's why I find it hard to belief there is something wrong with your sound setup. The filling up can crash your 'sound' but it shouldn't be able to damage it. Usually a reset/reboot after something like this happened would fix things. Settings like mute, volume etc etc you can check in kmix or the alsamixergui

With 'urpmi kdebase' (will install the most important packages). Open up a console, login as root (type <su>, hit <enter> type your password) and type 'urpmi kdebase). Good luck.

Have you tried playing around with your mixer settings? (PCM, 3D etc etc)

When you install a program it should be added to your mandrake-menu (same as start menu in windows). If you can't find it there it is possible to start the program from a console. Type the first few letters of the name of the program and hit <tab>. That will give you a list of programnames starting with these letters (usually these are a bit different from the name, (for example main actor is started by typing mactor)). Choose the one most likely to be the program you want to start. PS With menudrake it is possible to manually add an entry in the mandrake menu. Good luck

I doubt it is possible to let mozilla open the html file on your desktop and konquror all other html files using kcontrol. Maybe you could use a little script and place that on you desktop. #!/bin/bash mozilla-firefox /home/XXXX/Desktop/HTML-bestand This works for me but you'll have of course 2 files on your desktop. Good luck <edit> another way: create a 'shortcut to an application' on your desktop and give in the field 'command' mozilla-firefox /home/XXXX/Desktop/HTML-bestand.

The simplest is the 'system monitor' in KDE. It's an applet placed in kicker. There are of course countless karamba themes (these work with lm_sensors) and Gkrellm is still around. Plenty of choise :)

Under /mnt you will find your windows shares. So open up a console, log in as root, type Konqueror, hit F9, click /mnt, rightclick on windowsxx, choose properties, go to tab 'userrights?' and change the things you want to change. Good luck

According to this (http://archives.andrew.net.au/lm-sensors/msg08124.html) it could be a wrong version of the userspace utilities. Give it a try.

It should me urpmi.addmedia CD2 removable://mnt/cdrom For help you an always type --help (urpmi.addmedia --help). In a console use tab-complete. That is type the first few letters of the name of a program (for example urp) and then hit <tab>. That way it is impossible to make a typo. Good luck.

It's not a typo. It really is urmpf :) (f for find I think). So do not install xmms packages. You can start programs from a run window (or from the CLI) by typing the name of the program.

I don't know if this will help with your booting problems but it's worth a try: http://alsa.opensrc.org/index.php?page=Usi...ve+volume+state Good luck :)

You can do a urmpf mesa to see if mesa is installed. Mesa-devel is part of the xfree86-devel. If you have installed the Nvidia-driver with the nividia-installer (not as a rpm), urpmi doesn't know it's installed. But you can install foobillard with the --allow-force option. Good luck

Let's try to find out if it's a KDE user thing, a KDE thing, or an Linux thing. Exit X, log in as root and start KDE. Do you have sound now? Then it's a KDE user thing. Make sure you have killed artsd, open xmms and try playing a song. You have sound now? Then it's a KDE thing. Still no sound? Then it's a a Linux thing. If it's a KDE (user) thing play with the settings, maybe choose OSS, make sure nothing is muted, rename your .kde folder etc etc. If it's a Linux thing, go to the MCC, hardware, hardware, soundcard and choose config. Pick an other module (driver) and try again. Good luck

The soundserver in KDE is called arts. You can start it by typing 'artsd' in a console or by just playing a sound file. It is possible to shut down the soundserver in the KDE control center-->sound & multimedia-->soundsysten-->untick soundsystem activate. You will still have sound but no longer all the fancy tricks arts is capable of. Probably something got buggered when you had to reboot and a reset of the soundsystem should make it all right. If not try restarting ALSA (that's the part of Linux that let's you have sound) by (as root) typing /etc/init.d/alsa stop and /etc/init.d/alsa start. Make sure you have closed all sound apps, including kmix, else alsa won't start. Good luck

Are you sure you removed all of previously installed lm_sensors?

You use a Nvidia driver? Go to /etc/lilo.conf and edit the line vga=xxx (probably 788) to vga=normal. Save and exit the file. Run lilo (as root /sbin/lilo) and reboot. Good luck. BVC: you beat me to it

From the FAQ: and from Google: http://www2.lm-sensors.nu/~lm78/readticket.cgi?ticket=1648 Good luck

Ah I remember the first time I installed Mandrake.... the excitement...... how new it all was... how fresh..... Those were the days. (I'm feeling old now :|)

There are three steps when you want to compile from source: -1- ./configure -2- make -3- (as root) make install Step 1 checks if you have all the neccesary programs and files that you need to 'make' the new application Step 2 builds the new application Step 3 installs the newly build application. It seems you haven't done step 1 and some things are missing for the app to build. So do ./configure and install all the missing (probably xxx-devel.rpm) packages. Good luck.

The problem probably isn't with your WiFi router but with your WiFi networkcard. Type lspci (in a console) and post the relevant section (the network card section). Or google for your card and linux. :) (If lspci doesn't work, open a console, login as root and type urpmi lspci, then try again. Good luck

Well yes there have been cases that people where unable to boot into Windows after they installed Manrake, however for the large majority the installation was pretty painless. If you don't want to take any chances, google for mandrake and your mobo and see what it comes up with. Good luck.

I thougt that too :) Maybe the 500MB new packages are from other sources then 'update'? .Try urpmi --media update --auto-select and urpmi --media contrib --auto-select to see what is installed from what source. If all else fails try downloading and installing them by hand. These http://mandrakeusers.org/index.php?showtopic=17276 are the packages I've installed. However, I still have the busy cursor in MCC in the software section (but with a bit of aiming it is possible to tick packages). Good luck

The 'modprobe' command installs modules (in Windows: d'rivers'). So if you can't install the modules to acces your mobo sensor capabilities lm_sensors wont work. The 'lsmod' command gives a list of all the modules installed on your computer. So if i2c-proc isn't mentioned in the list it isn't installed and so you can't use the sensor capabilities and so lm-sensors won't work. (you have a 2.6 kernel so you must use this module, not 'sensors') Best is to begin again. Remove lm_sensors and install it with urmpi. Run the setup script again. Check if i2c-proc is installed by doing lsmod. If not do depmod -ae and then modprobe i2c-proc and then check lsmod again. The use lm_sensors Good luck
