Hey FireFreek I think your RAM is pretty low for Mandriva 2009.0 ONE and yes I am also a user of Mandriva 2009 ONE though KDE but Mandriva 2008.1 spring is much better and stable than this edition. As the major disadvantage of 2009 ONE is it does not have printer support.

Ok here is how to install it:-(there may be other ways but I prefer this one)

Step 1: Install Windows on the primary drive let us consider C:

Step 2: Boot with Mandriva 2009 ONE cd and click on the install

follow the steps they are quite easy for a newbie also.

Step 3: When it will show a screen for boot loader it asks you where to load the boot loader there you have to state MBR(option will be present just select it)

As a windows user you might be knowing that windpws keeps its boot information in MBR(Master Boot Record). And then the main part is over Rest you can do.

If you want help in Partitioning then ask I will help you out.

Hey I tried the method you have mentioned but it is asking me for PIN code but my device does not have any SIM card in it as it supports only data transmission. and If i give 0000 as pin then it is saying no SIM present. What is to be done?

and yes I am also not able to install wvdial in Mandriva 2009

where can I find rpm package for Mandriva 2009

Though mine one is different in model but let me give it a try, as I am in windows now to access the net.

Thanks for the support and further advices are heartly welcomed

Guys I have recently got a device HUAWEI EC325, it is a USB modem.

It is working fine with my Windows XP, but I want to use it in Mandriva 2009 What should I do??

I have searched in google but is is also of no use.

Can any one tell me how to get the rpm package for this device??

Your platform does not have a pre-compiled Sauerbraten client.

Please follow the following steps to build a native client:

1) Ensure you have the SDL, SDL-image, SDL-mixer, and OpenGL libraries installed.

2) Change directory to src/ and type "make install".

3) If the build succeeds, return to this directory and run this script again.

Since the final release version of Mandriva 2009 will be out in a few short days, I don't see why you just don't wait, coming in this late in the game.

Yes I can wait but there is a curiosity in me to know how thing happen in Linux and thats the sole reason for which I want to know. But if you say I will hv to wait then its perfectly fine with me. Does that mean I can not switch to KDE 4 with my current distro???

Will my system directly update itself to cooker???

or i have to download it??

I mean by updating my mandriva from the control centre can I update it to COOKER???

I was trying to install KDE 4.1 in my mandriva 2008 free spring. I got from the Linux4u magazine of may 2008 issue.

I followed the steps shown is the forum How to install kde 4.1

and now when I enter into the install softwares part and click on the KDEBASE4 options then this is the error which is shown :-

Sorry, the following package cannot be selected:
- kdebase4-runtime-4.1.0-1mdv2008.1.i586 (due to unsatisfied libclucene.so.0)

Can anyone please help me????

What should I do????

It worked well with windows XP SP2 32bit on my system

Can I ask why you are downloading stuff from different sources especially tarred packages when most of those programs are obtainable from Mandrivas resources ???. Especially when you do not seem to understand a lot of the basic operational aspects of Mandriva. Until you learn those aspects you will have a very hard time trying to do a compile and install of a tarred program with all of its dependency considerations.

That is why such packaging as rpm was developed to help users avoid having those difficultys.

Sir actually I was unaware about all those things you have mentioned above.

I had asked a mandriva user of this forum, he guided me to google and i got all these stuff.

If you were to go through the list of available Packages in Mandriva (not just what is on the DVD) by setting up urpmi for Main plus Contrib plus PLF-Free and PLF-non-Free, you find most of what you need.

 

John.

Thankx for the guide but I was unable to get you

can you be more specific how to do that

i want to run crysis

can i run it in Linux

I have it's ISO image

I have downloaded this theme

http://www.kde-look.org/content/show.php/A...s?content=77150

And to install it i downloaded kbfx.tar.bz from

http://www.kbfx.org/staticpages/index.php?...060224122953187

Can someone tell me how to instal this KBFX?????

Or do Alt & F2, type mcc, press enter, input your root password. Go to the Install and Remove Software section (make sure you select All and not Packages with GUI in the top left drop-down box), now type: lsb in the search box and check what version you have installed (if any). If it is lower than 3.1 then install the 3.1 version.

Thankx This procedure worked for me.

I have successfully installed real player

Sir,

I have dwonloaded this http://www.kde-look.org/content/show.php/T...9b85326f9085acc

and i want to install it can you please guide me with the step by step procedure to install it.

On the site i read an article about installing icon package, it says something like this :-

* Open the KDE-Menu and start the Control Center

* Click on "Look and Feel" and "Icons"

* Browse to the location of the new icon theme by clicking the small folder button

* Click on "Install New Theme" to add the new icons

* Click "Apply"

* Have fun! :-)

But in my control centre there is no "Look and Feel" tab.

What to do???

Or should i use this instead of real player???????????

https://player.helixcommunity.org/Image:2005/downloads

I have download the rpm package of real player from Real player

But it is showing this message when i am trying to install.

</home/abinash/Desktop/RealPlayer11GOLD.rpm';echo RESULT=$?

error: Failed dependencies:

lsb >= 3.1 is needed by RealPlayer-11.0.0.4028-20080225.i586

RESULT=1

Can someone please tell me what to do???

Done I got my problem solved.

But I didn't like GNOME

for me KDE is the best, gives a feeling of windows environment.

But, if you expect from it to emulate and eventually play copyprotected windows games under Linux, then I'm sorry, but it won't happen.

So is it possible to play games meant for windows in LINUX???
