It seems the only way to have Quanta Plus in my Mandrake 10 is to donwload source and compile. What do you think about this procedure ? I had to remove first "Quanta 3.2" ? How about compatibility with other mdk packages concerning Quanta ?

Hi, i have imported by drakfont all my winXp font. All work, i see that font in other application such as my default browser, Firebird. But OpenOffice seems don't reconize that font. In the font list i read the old default list and i don't see the news font ( they are a lot ). I read the faq in the OO documentation but it seems that is ok but it's not ok. This is the result of my /usr/sbin/chkfontpath command Current directories in font path: 1: /usr/X11R6/lib/X11/fonts/misc:unscaled 2: /usr/X11R6/lib/X11/fonts/drakfont 3: /usr/X11R6/lib/X11/fonts/drakfont/Type1 4: /usr/X11R6/lib/X11/fonts/drakfont/ttf 5: /usr/X11R6/lib/X11/fonts/75dpi:unscaled 6: /usr/X11R6/lib/X11/fonts/100dpi:unscaled 7: /usr/X11R6/lib/X11/fonts/Type1 8: /usr/X11R6/lib/X11/fonts/TTF 9: /usr/X11R6/lib/X11/fonts/Speedo 10: /usr/X11R6/lib/X11/fonts/pcf_drakfont:unscaled 11: /usr/X11R6/lib/X11/fonts/mdk:unscaled 12: /usr/share/fonts/default/Type1 13: /usr/share/fonts/ttf/vera 14: /usr/share/fonts/ttf/decoratives 15: /usr/share/fonts/ttf/western The faq says that this path are checked by OOo to search for fonts. Well in drakefont dir e sub dir i have all the damned imported font....why OO don't show them ? Thx in advance for any help.

I need to update a fresh 9,2 install bye console, because i cannot enter X without installing ati Driver. But if i install ati driver then i cannot update mdk 9.2 by updrake becasue it says me that the news xfre864.3.2 pkgs conflict with ati driver. So i wanna update by console and AT THE END install ( force option ) the ati driver. I'm looking for a command that do the same work/update that updrake does. I went to mandrake site and get the ftp url with update...but i checked...the file in RPM dir seems to few...when i installed by updrake i got about 300 mb of stuff. Also, it seems that urpmi.addmedia seems the way to do this install but i dunno what options i must insert ( name of font....what'sthe cz files ? i know only the ftp path ). thx in advance for help PS: alredy read FAQ :)

Thx a lot for the mcc tips ! I did not know about it...and, trust me, i'm surfing web from about 3 monthes looking for mdk knowledge. However...i tried to configure lan ( nfroce2 ethernet integrated chip )...the message box say me "All ok" but the check line say : init eth0 [FAILED]...and not [OK] Then i tried to configure LAN+ADSl.Message box say me all ok, say me "connection activated"...but same FAILED check for eth0. Well now i dunno if adsl is on or off.... There's a command to start complete update of distro ? I suppose is urpmi but i dunno the right options. I read info urpmi but don't seems exist that kind of option.

First of all i want thanks all of you who are helping me. Well, tried urpme on the atidriver pkcgs ...but it said me that there's not that pck! uff...then i format ( 19th linux format in 2 monthes eheh ) and reinstall. Same driver installing procedure of my starting post, except i did not use FORCE options for ati driver....well i got this message...the same conflict message but "reverse". it says me that it cannot install fglrx-glc22-4.3.0-3.2.8 because it conflict with libxfree86-4.3-24.1.92mdk ( well, really, the pckgs name is the same, changes the version..i do not remember but it's previously of 24.1.92) Now i'm stucked. I cannot acceed X if i did not installa ati driver. Also i need enter X to configure my modem/ethernet. There's a way to configure it by shell and start adsl and then dowld ALL available update for my mdk 9,2 and ONLY AT THE END installa ati driver and startx ?

I installed atidriver out of X because without this driver...X did not start. About the force options: other uys told me that without force driver could not be sure of a full and ok installation of the ati driver. However, how i uninstall ? Make uninstall ?

Ahem....i updated ALL..and themenu disappeard. The fix is in the 6 packages that conflicting ? Howver, how i can boot in console ? Mdk 9.2 automatically enter in X, then kde. In kde i have not the menu voices Konsole to open a console. Also...ahem...i uninstall driver ? A guy said me that pakgs installed with --force option are not uninstallable...is it true ?

I'm newbie, trying ( and blaming ) with linux from less than 2 monthes. Installed Mdk 9.2 Dwld edition but X did not start. Dwlded ( by windows ) - kernel source - nforce2 driver - ati9600pro driver for Xfree 4.3.x version Installed nforce driver ( builded rpm from srpm ), all ok Installed ATIdriver, configured module. All ok. ( using rpm -i --force ) Startx, ok. Then i go to updrake, starting download Security fix, first. Download all but i got a conflict message. ( word i don't remeber ) usr/X11R6/lib/libgl.so.1.2 from install of libxfree86-4.3-24.1.92mdk conflicts with file from package fglrx-glc22-4.3.0-3.2.8 fglrx-glc22-4.3.0-3.2.8 are ati driver. Linked to this xfree packages there are other 5-6 pack...so i cannot install them too. So i proceeded to install all what i can, except that file. No other packcages was linked to that conflicted pack. Good. Only the 5-6 packages conflicting was not installed. I closed updrake....and...menù voices disappered ! I have only : Recent Block Desktop Close Session This in root too. I cannot open nothing, i cannot enter in a console env. 1) How i can resolve conflict and installa Xfree, keep my video card working ? ( without installing ati driver i was not able to start x ) 2) WHY the menù disappeared !? From 2 monthes i'm trying to have a stable and working mandrake box...but nothing....my energy are at minimum. Plz..help
