Yeah, I had already worked that out, thanks. I will be installing 2008.1 PowerPack shortly, so I'll see how I go, but I imagine I'll run into the same problem.

This is from the Shorewall site I'm glad you indirectly got me to go take a look at the site ;) Firestarter seems to be something that is more to my liking, I may check it out a bit later.

After running the 2 commands, iptables -L shows the following, Chain INPUT (policy ACCEPT) target prot opt source destination Chain FORWARD (policy ACCEPT) target prot opt source destination Chain OUTPUT (policy ACCEPT) target prot opt source destination and the output of chkconfig --list | grep :on no longer lists iptables. After a reboot, chkconfig --list | grep :on still doesn't list iptables, and it shows as not running in MCC, however the output of iptables -L, is back to the long list above, and shorewall still needs to be stopped to get access, and can be started again, while still having access. iptables is not selected by default on installation of Mandriva, I actually select it, I don't know why, I don't actually do anything with it, I guess I just heard it was a good thing, should I perhaps just uninstall it? I await your reply, thanks

[Edit] I'll have to get back to you on this, I'm running late, and rushing everything, I'll get back this afternoon. Thanks

As for rules, well I just have Echo Request (Ping) selected, and the ports 2049/udp 2049/tcp open, I believe these are for NFS.

I am running RC2/Cooker, updated to 2008.1 Official, and I do not experience what you describe.

I have my 2 PC's (lets call them tux1 and tux2) both connected to my ADSL Router/Modem, Both PC's are running MDV 2008.1, I have them set up so as tux1 can access tux2's shares and tux2 can access tux1's shares. Everything works fine, so things must be set up OK, accept, after I shut down for the day, and then boot up again tomorrow, I no longer have the access I did the day before. To fix the problem, all I have to do is turn off the firewall on both PC's, and then I can have access again, I can then turn both firewalls back on and I still have access, no other changes are made. What do I have to do, so as I don't have to turn the firewalls on and off everyday? [moved from Networking by spinynorman]

MCC is the Mandriva Control Center, Start Menu/Tools/System Tools/Configure Your Computer, or link in task bar, or just mcc in a konsole as root, will get you there. You can have the packages saved while using the GUI, at least you could, I haven't yet tried it with 2008.1, but I guess it will work. You have just got to edit a file. Well, it's not released yet, but they made the final ISO's the other day, so I guess it's finished. I am using RC2, updated via cooker to the latest, which is/will become the same thing as the final 2008.1. The updates have pretty much stoped over the last day or so, and it now says 2008.1 (Official), so I guess it's as final as it's going to get. It's supposed to be officially released on the 9th or 10th this month, so it's not far away.

Do you not like MCC? I find that you can see so much better what is going on, I don't mind the CLI, but I only use it if I have to.

The version of knetworkmanager that you are trying to install seems to be for 2007.1, but you say you are using 2008 ? Why aren't you installing the one for 2008? knetworkmanager-0.2-1mdv2008.0 (it is in contrib) hmmm, I'm getting confused bouncing between versions :|

You could try installing libiw29 first, it contains libiw.so.29, not the same version, but it's newer, so it may be ok. Then try installing knetworkmanager again. [Edit] Oh, forgot I am on 2008.1, so you might not have libiw29, but just search libiw, then check what files are in it by highlighting it in MCC, then click files, and see what version of libiw.so is contained in it. If it is .28 or .29 it should be ok.

Are these laptop exclusive, I guess they wouldn't be, but you use laptop, just curious. How much would one of these cost approx?

If you use MCC/urpmi, the dependencies will be taken care of for you, but I assume you mean if you manually download gcc, and try like that, then you will have to chase the dependencies yourself I guess, which will be neither enjoyable (unless your a masochist ) or recommended, but not impossible. You will just have to find out what the dependencies are, and install them. How? well, you may be able to find a list in the documentation, or you could just get them one by one as they are reported to you, again, not enjoyable, nor recommended, however perhaps not impossible, I have done similar in the past. Is there a reason you are using the One version, as apposed to the Free DVD, or CD sets ?, they would contain what you want I believe. Anyway, other more knowledgeable people may have a better idea for you, just wait a little while and see if anyone bites :)

I don't believe it is, ( and if you can't access the Net on the PC you are talking about because of your network card problem, the following will be no good to you) :sad: but if you have a good connection and or downloading stuff is no problem for you, you can set up your software repositories/sources by going to Easyurpmi, and following the 3 steps there. http://easyurpmi.zarb.org/ you will also find a link up the top right there ^^ Once you have you repo's set up, you can search MCC/Software Management/Install and Remove Software for gcc, and install it.

Yes, I have had the freeze thing as well, but I found out quickly how to get around it easily. When it freezes, all I do is press the X (close) at the top of MCC, and it's business as usual, It doesn't close/shut down, but continues on. Works for me anyway :)

Yes, I have had this, and or similar happen several times, each time there would be some package/packages, but it wouldn't download/install, then the error message, then the list would refresh, then I would just install the listed updates, it doesn't seem to cause any problems, at least not that I have noticed.

Yes, they can choose not to send a receipt back. You can get programs that will do it without their input/knowledge, I don't know if you can get them for Linux, but I have used one in Windows a long time ago, and it worked well then.

lol, yes, I was going to reply to another post, in another thread, and selected 'quote', but then ended up not replying, then later, when I replied to this thread, I was surprised when I saw it turn up here. I thought I best delete him quick before any confusion set in :) Then I burnt my toast to boot :(

Isn't it a kicker applet type of thing? What happens when you right click on the kicker (task bar, what ever you want to call it) then select Add Applet to Panel , can you select it from there? just guessing, I don't use it. Beaten by a hair :)

I take it you are trying to compile it from source. There is no need to do that, and it is easier not to. Just make sure you have your repositories set up, and search for it in MCC, and it will install it for you. If you haven't already you can set up your sources by going to Easyurpmi and following the instructions. http://easyurpmi.zarb.org/ Or click the Easyurpmi link up above, top right of this page. Although compiling from source can be fun (in a twisted masochistic sort of way ;) ) and certainly a learning experience, it really is better 99.9% of the time to install software via Mandriva's MCC or urpmi if you like. There may be occasions where you have to compile from source, eg, for the very latest of something, and you can't wait, or some app you want and there is no pre compiled package available, among others.

Ok, well I may not be able to help, but from memory, there may have been a bug, which may or may not have been fixed, and thus may or may not be fixed by an update. I usually disable the DVD's after installation, and just download from then on, so I never really experienced the probem. I did one time however have a similar problem, where it would keep asking for the DVD over and over, I found that if I waited until the autoplay thing, what ever it is called, you know how a window pops up and asks you what you want to do when you insert a CD/DVD, well if I waited until that popped up before continuing with the MCC/urpmi promt after inserting the DVD it would work fine. Also, just lately on Mandriva 2008.1 RC2 (cooker), it asked me to insert the DVD into /dev/cdrom1 , when it should have been /dev/cdrom, I just inserted the DVD into /dev/cdrom regardless, and it continued on happily. This only happened once. Good Luck, hope you get it worked out.

Well an easy way, and seeing as the software on the DVD would be almost 6 months behind, you could just unselect the DVD media from MCC-Software Management-Configure media sources for install and update. This would then not use the DVD's any longer, and thus you wouldn't be asked to insert them, but would download the latest versions from the repositories. You can set up your repositories if you haven't already by either going to http://easyurpmi.zarb.org/ and following the instructions, or you will find a link up to the right of this page. You can also set them up from within MCC, but it might be better to use Easyurpmi. Of course if you don't have a good internet connection, or don't want to download the software for whatever reason, this may not be good for you.

Yes, being able to install and configure easier with things like Cedega and CG are great, especially for those who don't like getting their hands to dirty, and yes, competition is good, and as Reiver_Fluffi said, , which is always a good thing. It will be good to see how this works out and grows. I am thankful for companies like id Software, Frictional Games, Epic, etc, who make the effort and release Linux native versions, and always hope that more will follow.

It's always good to see things like this, and it will only get better, but a look at the Supported Games list is a little disheartening. There is only 45 listed, and of those, the ones that are supposed to work the best are Silver, this is what it says about Silver. I am not knocking them, and do applaud them for their efforts, however the above comments about the Silver games do not inspire a great deal of joy in me. The latter part however, stating that they will respond to and address, all bugs reported for these silver applications, does bring hope. But unfortunately, another problem is the small number of games to choose from, and I don't think that this will be overcome any time soon. As I see it, the only real hope for Linux and games, is when more and more Game companies start to support Linux natively. Then we may see things start to happen, and have things as they should be, but will that happen . . .? Congrats and thanks to CodeWeavers on their efforts, and I do hope they can take things up a couple of notches above Cedega and Wine.

Thank you, the first link doesn't seem to be working at the moment.
