Thank you for the help. I have disabled 3D Desktop effect. The system is working fine. In case any work around is noticed pls post it

Ashraf

Try this: disable 3D desktop and make sure the shutdown and restart options are back in place then re-enable it and see if they stick around this time.

 

If that doesn't work, post here again.

When 3D effect is disabled everything is back in place. The problem crops only when I select Mettise in 3D Desktop.

I am Using KDE.

Hi

looking for some help for my problem

Hi Jim

Thanks. I have edited the file as suggested. This solved the problem partially. The DVD drive is recognized correctly. and device name changed. But my DVD is not recognized by Mandriva . May be there is some problem with the DVD supplied by Linux For you Magazine.

Thanks a lot for the tip. But I do want to use the DVD for some SWs having big sizes which are not easy to download.

Hi

I am a new Mandriva 2008 user. I installed from DVD supplied from Linux For You Magazine. When I try to install software using this DVD a problem occurs. I get a message "insert Mandriva 2008 free installer in /dev/cdrom2". When I insert the DVD in my DVD drive it does not recognize the DVD .Simply repeats the message 'Insert .......'. My DVD drive is mounted as /dev/cdrom1, not as /dev/cdrom2. How can I change the device name in Add and remove software tool in Mandriva 2008. Pls help
