http://www.linux-mandrake.com/en/demos/Dem...ake9.0/Install/ It's dated but still usefull. The Xfree package is pretty important. You won't be able start X (the graphics server) without it. I suggest you try an update. Boot into linux and login as root. Type this: urpmi.addmedia --update updates ftp://ftp.lip6.fr/pub/linux/distributions/Mandrakelinux/official/updates/10.0/RPMS with ../base/hdlist.cz <enter> then type: urpmi --auto-select exit from root (type exit), login as normal user and start X (Type startx) Good luck

In RPMdrake you can make a selection for 'security updates', 'normal updates' and 'Bug updates' (translated from Dutch by me so might not be actualy named like that :) ). --Auto-select selcts all 3 options at once. That is why you see probably more packages when you use the CLI then when you use the MCC. I wouldn't add PLF on my repository list when I do an --auto-select. Some packages (fontconfig) will seriously mess your computer experience. Good luck :)

I assume wine installed correctly so you have a problem installing a windows program? What progrem are you trying to install and what errors are you getting? If you have trouble installing wine you can try a newer version from winehq http://sourceforge.net/project/showfiles.p...ackage_id=80066 Good luck

With the new LIRC cvs snapshot (download) it is now quite easy to get the grey remote that comes with the Hauppauge PVR250/350 cards working. I tried this with kernel linux-2.6.4-1.tmb.6mdk and with kernel 2.6.7 (from kernel.org) and with both it works flawlessly. Ok let's start: -1- Cleaning up: Mandrake comes with lirc 0.66. That means programs like mplayer are build against lirc 06.66 and won't work with lirq 0.7.0pre7. So if you have installed mplayer from plf you will have to uninstall this program (or rather, urpe will take care of that). Do urpme liblirc and see it getting uninstalled. There is still more cleaning up to do. Make sure you don't have the receiver plugged in the TV-card and then (as root) do rm -fr /dev/lirc*. Last, do (again as root) an 'updatedb' and (as normal user) 'locate lirc' and remove every mention of lirc under /usr and under /lib. -2- At last we can start. Untar lirc and cd to the lirc directory. Run configure (./configuer), choose '5' for TV cards and 'f' for Hauppauge. Then choose 3. Log in as root and give 'make' and after make is done 'make install'. Then, still as root do 'depmod ae' and 'modprobe lirc_i2c' -3- Start the lirc deamon by typing lircd (as root) -4- Test if you can use your remote by starting (for example) irkick and press some buttons on your remote (make sure you plugged in the receiver again :) ). It didn't work for me the first time and only root was able to use the remote so I (as root) did 'chmod 666 /dev/lircd' and everything worked fine. -5- Now we need to reinstall mplayer again. Because we can't use a Mandrake rpm we must build it from sourse (download). Untar the package and cd to the mplayer folder. This version of mplayer won't built without editing of the ffv1.c file (in the libavcodec folder). Delete line 465 and replace it with { int tmp; tmp=(h+i-y)%ring_size; sample[p][i]= sample_buffer[p][(h+i-y)%ring_size]+3; } Then type ./configure --enable-lirc, make and (as root) make install. -6- Now last, unfortunately mplayer won't work because it expects the liblirc_client.so.0 in /usr/lib and lirc places it in /usr/local/lib. So we do (as root) 'ln -s /usr/local/lib/liblirc_client.so.0 /usr/local/liblirc_client.so.0. Now all we need is a .lircrc to tell apllications like mplayer what functions to perform when a button is pressed. This is of course only and example. Use these mplayer commands to build a lircrc for your liking. For other aplications much the same goes. Have fun with your remote :)

http://ivtv.writeme.ch/tiki-view_faq.php?faqId=1#q18 It probably is the msp3400.o. Remove the one you don't want and try again. You got the remote working? http://mandrakeusers.org/index.php?showtopic=17309&hl=

Put the line acpi=on in your /etc/lilo.conf (add it to the append= line), run lilo (as root type /sbin/lilo <enter>) and reboot your PC. If it works your set, but it is possible your PC won't boot because it seems to have problems with acpi. If Mandrake doesn't boot, choose linux failsafe in the lilomenu, log in as root and type vi /etc/lilo.conf and remove acpi=on. (small explanation: i = insert and will you let delete acpi=on, esc=not insert :), and :x= save and exit), run lilo again and you'll be able into Mandrake again. If aacpi refuses to work for you then go with apm. Good luck

If you're getting the same error messages after an reinstall I doubt your problems are caused by the deletion of some files. Print the error messages here and I'll try to help you. Good luck

WMA is a propriety format. That's why you won't find direct wma->to->whatever encoders.

And there is a pakkacge called dvb-apps-1.0.0-1mdk.i586.rpm. Try to install that. It has channels.confs and tzap (and some others). If you're lucky that is all you need. :) (tzap xxxx To sellect a channel and then dvbstream -ps -o video_pid audio_pid | mplayer -cache 1024 - if I understand the HOWTO correctly)

http://rpm.pbone.net/index.php3?stat=26&di....5-3mdk.src.rpm I found this src.rpm. Try that :)

Check if aumix has really been closed (ps -aux | grep aumix) and try restarting alsa (servive alsa restart). In fact check if any sound program is running and close that. Then try again.

Have you checked if alsa is running? In the MCC go to sevices--->alsa. And you could try another module (driver) if there is any, for your card. In the MCC go to system, hardware, soundcard and choose config Good luck

Log in as root and type /etc/init.d acpi status (to see if it's running). If it is running you can stop it with /etc/init.d stop en start it again with /etc/init.d start (you get the idea :) ) Same for acpid. (these names might not acpi acpid might be different (I'm not at a computer using acpi right now)). Just lookin /etc/init.d for the most appropiate)

I'm sorry, I know nothing about nedit. (I missed the part about using Fuxbox :) )

If you use the 'mandrake start menu' with menudrake If you use kmenu with kmenuedit. If you want to start it from a run window put a link in you $HOME/bin (ln -s /path/auzureus azureus) Good luck

Then remove it by hand. Log in as root and type updatedb. Logout and do 'locate mplayerplug-in.so' and 'locate mplayerplug-in.xpt'. Remove these 2 files. Good luck.

If you have compiled (with the command 'make') the mplayerplug-in as root only root can remove these files. (with make clean or with rm -fr mplayerplug-in (be carefull with this if you don't inderstand what I'm saying don't use it :)). If you haven't installed it (with the command 'make install') all the files will be in the mplayerplug-in directory so just removing this directory will be enough.

First: the commands ./configure and make you do as normal user. Only when you want to install what you have build (that is copying things from the mplayerplug-in folder to /usr/lib/bin whatever) you log on as root. If you want to uninstall (deleting files from /usr /etc whatever) you log in as root. Your regular user can do anything in it's /home/yourname folder but only root can do things in /.... Second: it seems you have already build the plugin that's why it is saying nothing to be done :) To delete these files log in as root (because you build them as root, but I hope you will not do this again in the future :)) and type 'make clean' (or just start all over again and throw away the folder and untar the source, ./configure etc etc)

What you downloaded is a patch to the sourcecode of acpi and that is not what you need. If you want to install software in Mandrake use 'urpmi' (for help look in the FAQ) Basically what you need to install are the acpi and acpid packages (and probably a few others but urpmi will take care of that). After you've installed the packages you need to start the services. In the mandrake control center (MCC) go to system, services, look for acpi and press start service. To check the battery status go to the kde control center (kcontrol), energy management, laptop-battery. Good luck

Try 'full duplex' In kcontrol-->sound and multimedia-->sound sustem-->hardware (tick box full duplex) (I guess the SB live does hardware mixing then :) (or really the emu10k1 module does))

It seems your onboard sound doesn't do hardware mixing (that is: only one application at a time can use 'sound', teamspeak or ut2004). So what you need is software mixing, then more then one app can 'make sound'. In KDE the mixer program is called arts. Usually there exists for non-KDE programs (KDE programs already use arts) a plugin-in or an option to tell it to use arts. If all fails you can always start the rpogram from the commandline with 'artsdsp <programname> . That way it will use arts for sound. So in your case it might be 'artsdsp ut2004' for ut2004 and 'artsdsp teamspeak' for teamspeak.

With the command 'make uninstall' (in the folder in which you built mplayerplug-in) As a rule you should only use Mandrake rpms on a Mandake installation. However that is not very practical because there will always be apps that you need for which no Mandrake rpms exists. Second best is to use an rpm for another system. Urpmi understands them (though dependencies may give you a headache) so you keep an oversight of what is installed on your PC. Third option is compiling it yourself. Some people claim compiling will give you a speed increase (not noticable to me) I say it's not worth the trouble. :)

Try installing again :) (If something went wrong during the installation a new install (30 minutes) will fix things much quicker than a troubleshoot .(....hrs). Good luck

From the mplayerplug-in site If you have installed gtk1 you need to compile it with --enable-gtk1 to have the buttons But why don't you use the rpm's? If you don't want to use Redhat rpms you can extract the files from the package and copy them to you .mozilla folder. Good luck :)
