Built it myself back in April '02 Athlon 1600+ Gigabyte GA-7DX+ 768 MB DDR Radeon 7500 SB Live! LG GMA-4020B DVD-R/RW Aopen 56x CDROM Monorail SK2500 keyboard MS optical scrollmouse generic floppy Optiquest Q71 monitor edit: oh yeah, two 30 gig Maxtors.

It takes money to make money. Maybe MDK hasn't reached the break point, yet. I imagine the installer ads will be like we have all seen before, only instead of mandrake advertising their services during the installation, it will be some third party and bookmarks are easy enough to edit. I think we need to wait and see exactly what it is that is causing all the howls before we scream any louder. :wink:

This is a known bug in 9.1 Go to ftp://mirrors.secsup.org/pub/linux/mandra...pdates/9.1/RPMS, which is a pretty fast mirror, and download the updates for curl, drakconf, drakxtools, drakxtools-newt, gurpmi, libcurl2, rpmdrake, and urpmi Manually update using rpm -Uvh and that should straighten out your Mandrake Update capability. /germ

in XF86Config-4 add this line: Option "agp_try_unsupported=1 To: Section "Device"

Yep, using the version of zenity from bvc's link. Maybe we're in the Twilight Zone. :shock:

Exactly as anna said. Combine things until you get the look you want. Different colors, styles, icons, etc. and then open the Theme Manager in KDE Control Center. Save your current desktop as a new theme. I've found very few themes in which I like every aspect. My desktop is a combination. ;)

duh...stupid me. I had three versions of the script open, copying, pasteing, and editing. I looked at the script again, removed the two instances of n and all is well. Hey william, that's a nice home page and a good start. Very clean. I like that. :wink:

I got it working after deleting the slashes. (using zenity-1.0-1mdk) OK, I gave it a try and here's the output: You have free space on Home, is in use You have free space on Root, is in use You have free space on Backup, is in use I get three lines now, but no info. :shock:

/usr/share/mplayer/Skin/mini /germ

I get the same thing as william, all on one line. Using the same zenity rpm.

william, just be sure to have a how-to and read through it a couple of times before you try it. It's really not difficult installing vid drivers. And like bvc said, we're here to help. Just holler.

On my test box I upgraded 9.1 to 9.2 rc1 and it went beautifully. No problems, at all. When 9.1 final was released, I upgraded the 9.0 install on my main box. I backed up everything first, of course. It went beautifully, as well. I've had excellent luck doing version upgrades. YMMV. :wink:

I found it in cooker. wxPythonGTK[/url]

If you have a Knoppix CD, try booting knoppix and maybe it can see and mount the drive/partition. Then you can mount one of your mdk partitions and copy the data to it.

Nice one. Thanks. :)

Howdy zeb. I read your post at Club and I'm definitely going to give it a try. Sounds great! :D /germ

so should I leave that line commented out in /etc/sysconfig/harddisks and make copies for both, such as, harddiskscd0 and /etc/sysconfig/harddiskhdd and uncomment the dma line? What would this accomplish? Everything was working fine before the burner decided to stop writing. thanks No, use hda, hdb, hdc, hdd, etc. The drive parameters are applied as The hardware info is picked up from the BIOS early in init.

"Do you have DMA enabled for the drive? Yes, according to Win, Don't know how in Linux" Use /etc/sysconfig/harddisks. If your burner is hdc, copy harddisks as harddiskhdc and uncomment the line USE_DMA=1

It's around 156MB installed. The RPM is around 36MB. It's required in order to use the drivers from the DRI Project. Got a buddy with a fat pipe? Actually it wouldn't be too bad using dialup to download it. Maybe 4 to 5 hours.

Do you have DMA enabled for the drive? Have you tried a different brand of media? Have you tried a different ribbon cable? Is the drive in need of cleaning? Those are the only things I can think of to check. Unfortunately it's probably gone belly up. :( /germ

Yes, it sounds like the kernel sources are not installed. johnKFT, install the kernel-source rpm for your kernel.

I think the driver will work with your card. If not, the install script backs up all the replaced files. If the driver does not work just run: ./install.sh restore The restore option works. I've used it a couple of times. :wink:

Here is some more info on Mandrake network installs: Network Install

I'm a Club member and I submitted a link to Mandrakeusers.org to MandrakeClub just now. If and when the submission is accepted, they will email me. I'll post an update.
