  3. Trouble using Wireless PCI card [solved]

    in Hardware

    Posted

    I had used easyurpmi to add the media.

     

    So I thought may be of I remove all media and add it again that might help.

    But this looks like it was a mistake.

    Removal was successful but I did get this error when adding the media.

     

    Unable to add medium, errors reported:

     

    ...retrieving failed: aria2 failed: exited with 2

    problem reading synthesis file of medium "Non-free Testing (Official2011.0-19)"

     

    :wall:

     

    Although it does look like the media was added

     

    AND I still get this error:

     

    Sorry, the following package cannot be selected:

     

    - ndiswrapper-kernel-desktop586-latest-1.56-1.20101017.3mdv2011.0.i586 (due to unsatisfied ndiswrapper-kernel-2.6.36-desktop586-0.rc8.1.1mnb[== 1.56-3mdv2011.0])

     

    OR

  4. Trouble using Wireless PCI card [solved]

    in Hardware

    Posted

    Hello,

     

    I just upgraded to Mandriva 2011.

    I have a PC with a NetGear Wireless PCI card and had no trouble using this card with 2010.

     

    When I attempt to add a wireless interface by using a windows driver with ndiswrapper my computer freezes. I do get a pop-up window stating searching for required software and drivers before the PC freezes. Then I have to restart the PC to recover.

     

    I check what software is installed. I have the Ndiswrapper binary loader utility. I do not have a ndiswrapper-kernel.

    If I select ndiswrapper-kernel-desktop-latest I get the following error:

    Sorry, the following package cannot be selected:

     

    - ndiswrapper-kernel-desktop-latest-1.56-1.20101017.3mdv2011.0.i586 (due to unsatisfied ndiswrapper-kernel-2.6.36-desktop-0.rc8.1.1mnb[== 1.56-3mdv2011.0])

     

    Please Advise.

     

    Thank You.

  8. Mandriva Control Center will not start [solved]

    in Software

    Posted

    The problem seems to have been resolved.

     

    I just completed a very busy few months at work and had been using my work laptop exclusively.

    Upon returning the work this issue with my PC I found there were 472 updates for the system.

    After all the updates were installed the MCC is working normally.

     

    Thanks for all the help.

  9. Mandriva Control Center will not start [solved]

    in Software

    Posted

    No clue what would be causing this, but one way to sometimes find out more is to start programs from the command-line. Start, login and open a terminal and then start control center (type drakconf). Good chance you will get some more output that at least puts you on the right track.

     

    I was able to start it from the command line. I don't know whether or not this is normal but here are the results:

     

    [root@localhost jose]# drakconf

    [root@localhost jose]# "/usr/sbin/drakbackup" is not executable [backups] at /usr/sbin/drakconf.real line 821.

    "/usr/sbin/drakvirt" is not executable [Virtualization] at /usr/sbin/drakconf.real line 821.

    "/usr/sbin/msecgui" is not executable [security Level] at /usr/sbin/drakconf.real line 821.

    "/usr/sbin/tomoyo-gui" is not executable [Tomoyo Policy] at /usr/sbin/drakconf.real line 821.

  10. Mandriva Control Center will not start [solved]

    in Software

    Posted

    Hello,

     

    Suddenly my Mandriva Control Center will not start.

    Upon launch I get the splash screen that says:

     

    Mandriva Linux

    Mandriva Linux Control Center

    Loading ... Please wait

     

    But after that nothing ever happens.

    Otherwise computer seems to be working normally.

    I am running KDE One 2010.2 32 bit.

     

    Recommendations?

     

    Thanks

  12. Trouble connecting to new Router

    in Networking

    Posted

    Hello,

     

    I have a new router. I have been able to connect all my wireless devices including Win7 PCs, Wii, DSi's, wireless network printer with no trouble except my Mandriva 2010.2 KDE PC. From the graphical control panel I am not getting any useful feedback beyond a connection failed message. I am using WPA2-PSK which I have used in the past with no trouble. Any suggestions on trouble shooting would be greatly appreciated.

     

    Thank You,

  14. Unexpected Upgrade Result [solved]

    in Installing Mandriva

    Posted

    Hi,

     

    I have had an unexpecting result attempting to upgrade from 2010 to 2010.1 (KDE versions) in this fashion:

    1) removed 2010.0 media sources from MCC

    2) added 2010.1 media sources via Easy URPMI

    3) used the terminal command: urpmi --auto-update

    4) restart

     

    The boot menu listed Mandriva 2010 Spring which was a great sign. However, it appears KDE did not fully upgrade.

    There no icons in the menu. There is no "Configure your Desktop" option anywhere. Right click on desktop does nothing.

    The task bar and menu look very minimalistic.

    Here is picture of the desktop:

    Any suggestions?

     

    Thank You in advance,

  17. No 2010.1 in Easy URPMI? [solved]

    in Installing Mandriva

    Posted

    Hi,

     

    I want to upgrade from 2010 to 2010.1.

    I am running KDE One.

    MCC is informing me the upgrade is available but if I attempt to upgrade via that path the choices are limited to Free and Powerpack.

    In the past I have upgrading by deleting my media sources and then using Easy URPMI to add media sources for the newest version of Mandriva. I am thinking about going this path again however I do not see 2010.1 as a choice in Easy URPMI. Will 2010.1 be added? If so when?

     

    Thank You,

     

    Jose

  18. Mandriva 2009.1 is out!

    in Portal News

    Posted

    I just upgraded from 2008.1 to 2009.1 with no problems what so ever.

    I skipped 2009.0 because it wouldn't run on my system due to udev errors.

    I think 2009.1 is great !!! Well done Mandriva.

    I was nervous because this is my first experience with KDE4 and KDE4 takes a lot of bashing on this forum.

    I think that bashing, at least for the KDE4 version of 2009.1, is undeserved.

    I consider myself a prime target user of Mandriva. I use it on as a home desktop for e-mail, web surfing, managing mp3's and digital photos etc.

    The typical home user with no real interest in becoming a linux administrator.

    If you are like me don't sweat the KDE4 bashing on this forum.

    2009.1 with KDE4 rocks!

  19. wmv files in Firefox [solved]

    in Software

    Posted

    I got it working with the MPlayer plugin.

    Upon checking all the Firefox plugins, I noticed I had both the MPlayer and Totem plugins.

    And I noticed Firefox was defaulting to the Totem plugin.

    Rather than finding out why the Totem plugin was not working I just uninstalled Totem.

    Now Firefox is defaulting to the MPlayer plugin and all is well. :D

     

    Thanks for all the helpful suggestions!

  20. wmv files in Firefox [solved]

    in Software

    Posted

    I had to reinstall 2008.1/KDE recently.

    Before the reinstall if I was in Firefox and encountered a *.wmv file on the web it would open and play in a new tab. After the reinstall the new tab opens but the wmv file does not play. I confirmed that the Win32 codecs are installed. Is there a certain plugin Firefox needs to pull in the codecs?
