Oooh thank you everyone, I got it compiled ^_^

Oooh :] I think that would be the thing needed.

Thank you for helping, I'll post back if there's anything else.

You're all Stars (*) :]]

Hmm, that worked but "checking for KDE... configure: error:

in the prefix, you've chosen, are no KDE headers installed. This will fail.

So, check this please and use another prefix!

"

It just seems to be another problem after another =/

Can you help again please?

thanks :]

Thank you, just had dinner - so I'll install these now. I think they will work =]

Hmm, this is weird.

I looked through /usr/lib and QT3 and QT4 are there?

And when i do that command I get the following:

"[root@localhost joshua]# urpmi qt3-common

Package qt3-common-3.3.8b-1mdv2008.1.i586 is already installed

Package qt3-common-3.3.8b-1mdv2008.1.i586 can not be installed"

=/

Right, I've found the source so I can install it by compilation, but half way through ./configure it says "checking for Qt... configure: error: Qt (>= Qt 3.3 and < 4.0) (headers and libraries) not found. Please check your installation!

"

I don't know where to install these. Can you please help?

Thanks

Does anyone know where I can download this please? Because I need it for a theme that I want.

The links on KDE-Look don't work for it.

Is there an RPM?

Thanks for helping.

Well, at first - it didn't detect the printer.

And it was turned on and plugged into the parallel port.

But - I didn't realise to restart my computer to get it to work.

So now, it's working.

Thanks so much for helping Liquidzoo

Ok, I'll try that.

Thanks

Heya..

I just installed Mandriva 2008.1 today and so far love it, coming from ubuntu.

There is one teething problem I am having with it though.

I can't set up my printer.

It is a Epson Stylus C62.

I chose it from the printer lists and everything and the printer is connected via the parallel port.

But it won't print.

What option shall I pick for where it is plugged in?

Since it is in the parallel port.

Thanks

Here's my desktop with compiz fusion.

Changed Human GTK to Glossy

It's not much but I think it's quite purdy. On Ubuntu 7.10.

I really do like Mandriva, when Hardy comes out- If it doesn't please me, I think I'll be re-formatting my drive and sticking Mandriva on it.

I think it is amazing.

Much faster - and with KDE 4, it looks ok. I came from a GNOME environment - but I don't mind which I use, KDE makes me happy though xD

Hmm, Rofl Cos I only just took windows off (well 3 months ago) My dad doesn't want me to install it yet. Even though he doesn't know too much about computers.

But when Hardy comes out, I'll check it out - but I think Mandriva is more my liking.

I LOVE IT!!!

So I guess I'll be using thta soon

I don't know for certain, but I'm using the live CD again now - and I think I am going to install it.

I love it

Thanks for the help.

I'm gonna give the live CD another whizz, and I think I might install it.

Hello, I have been using Ubuntu now for a year and a bit.

But, it has started to get old-hat, and some of the things (such as my USB ADSL modem) don't work very well in it.

So, I tried out Mandriva One the other day and I was amazed at how good it is with my hardware.

I mean, I don't need them, but my 3D effects on ubby really aren't very good - and that may be down to my 64MB shared graphics, but they work wonders in Mandriva. My internet connection is superb. So I am quite swayed now.

Should I change? Or What?

And, in Ubuntu, where you can upgrade every 6 months - is this sort of thing implemented in Mandriva?

Thank you for your help.

Josh
