Well yeh VLC and Smplayer seem fine here, just wondering if this was a bug.

No the issue is present in Gnome too, trust me I installed Gnome to see if it made any difference... It didnt.

I am on KDE though I know totem is Gnome, but not Kaffeine.

Yeh I did the update menu thing, no dice.

Yes, covered. Hey like I said before I have been a linux user for 5 years so I think by now I should know what to do

yes I know, I am just used to other communities like Ubuntu's or openSUSE's where I get help a lot faster.

Yeh all are covered, got everything listed there on my mandriva system. Yes but editing new menus's all the time for every app I use under wine can be a real pain, its not like I cant do it but I do have quite a number of windows apps I use. Its no big deal to you, but for me it will prove to be an annoyance. I wonder if its a bug.

Yes i mentioned that above... DVD codecs are installed Thus libdvdcss is installed.

Alright a big issue I see in Mandy 2010 is wine, and playonlinux menu creation. It seems that neither wine or playonlinux menus are working with mandriva, I use both as I do need some windows apps here and there but not enough for a dual boot or Vbox install. The menus work fine in openSUSE and Ubuntu in both KDE and Gnome, but not in Mandriva's KDE or gnome. [moved from Software by spinynorman]

Alright here is a issue I really hope to get fixed, I get these errors when trying to play my DVD's in Mandriva 2010 now. Here is the error I have in Totem: You are not supposed to show G_IO_ERROR_FAILED_HANDLED in the UI And in Kaffeine: Cannot find input plugin for MRL [dvd:/] DVD codecs are installed, I am not on 64bit and these players have worked on Ubuntu, openSUSE 11.2 and other distros just fine.

what is the model of your camera? What player are you using as well?

I need solutions here folks, this is a reason why I dont stay with mandy that long: slow community

yes I know about vbam, its installed. But I still need the alien issue fixed as I have other packages I need to convert.

But I have a intel 915G card that uses the 810 graphics driver and I am working just fine

Alright for fun I installed mandriva 2010 and so far its very impressive, BUT I am having an issue with alien. You see I rather not compile software and I know the risks of alien so when it does not work I cant get the package I want to work. Here is the issue I had when trying to convert a package: [root@localhost Downloads]# alien -r vbaexpress_1.2-0ubuntu3_i386.deb tar: Record size = 8 blocks Package build failed.

Alright after some mucking about I got my mandriva virtualbox install just about where I want it, but there is one more thing I like to bring up. I like to know how to change my log in icon on KDM, now I did use systemsettings but it wont change my icon as it is in KDM. I just find my login icon boring, I want to personalize it... The little figure of a blonde girl is okay for now but come on this is a personal computer and I want to personalize it! [moved from Software by spinynorman]

Well I consider Mandriva, Ubuntu, Mint and Mepis to be on the top of easy to use list. Ubuntu at first may not seem as easy as mandriva, but its community makes up for that. Mint by far has to be the easiest I have worked with in recent times though

no issues here

here is what I got from that command: [root@]# hdparm -d /dev/sr0 /dev/sr0: HDIO_GET_DMA failed: Inappropriate ioctl for device [root@localhost sunny]# hdparm -d1 /dev/sr0 /dev/sr0: setting using_dma to 1 (on) HDIO_SET_DMA failed: Inappropriate ioctl for device HDIO_GET_DMA failed: Inappropriate ioctl for device and still choppy video. also this applies to local files like my videos

Alright, I decided to give mandriva 2008.1 a try on my computer... I got all the codecs and stuff installed but DVD playback is crap. I tried every mode, turned my desktop effects on and off but its still choppy... anyone got ideas? and yes, I tried the video playback plugin in compiz, its a no go.

so unless I buy the powerpack I cant downgrade then... for that alone I should go back to ubuntu as at least I have a way to back things up with it... sigh

okay... by the way I am a girl edit: nope that did not work at all, I was forced into a terminal session with that. I am thinking now that I need to downgrade the intel driver to the one that came with my installation, is there any way to use the live CD as a repository? I did that once for ubuntu

it was selected for me, XFdrake doesnt even have my card in it... those are the same settings that mandriva gave me from the start as my card seems to be generic according to xfdrake. So I assume if I add those lines to my xorg it might work?
