As club member I have the full commercial edition of Mandriva Limited Edition 2005. I also still have MDK10.1.
In the "star" menu ->Actions in MDK10.1, the following are listed: Quick Browser, Preferences, and Terminal Sessions (along with Find and Recent Documents).
In the "star" menu ->Actions in MDVLE05, listed are only Find and Recent Files.
Why are the other three left out? How can I add them back in under "Actions"?
(Note: I realize I could probably add these to the panel, but my panel is too crowded already. I wish solely to add them to the Menu and nowhere else.)
All help is greatly appreciated.

It worked! All solved! Hallelujah!
Many many thanks to k6h and to my fellow Houstonian and Texan: bvc!!!
I added Option "ConnectedMonitor" "CRT" to the xorg.conf file and it solved the problem!
This forum is the greatest!!

Thanks to everyone who has responded so far.
bvc--it's great to see your participation once again occasionally in the forums. Welcome back!
k6h Which file did you add the following?
Option "ConnectedMonitor" "CRT"
I looked at xorg.conf and it doesn't appear to be the correct file.
If there are further suggestions, I am open to them.

Thanks scarecrow for the advice. This is one option I considered, but am resistant to do for the following reasons:
Previous Mandrake versions worked with framebuffer enabled and I've always been able to do the graphical login.
All other distros that I've used don't have the framebuffer problem: Libranet, Xandros, SuSE, Fedora Core, and others.
As stated above, I prefer that people I know that may be interested in Linux will see the graphical login with details rather than the ugly text login, which turns off most people accustomed to Windows and Mac.
I'm trying to show that Mandriva is REALLY ready for primetime as strictly point and thus ready for the masses.
Thus I'd like a solution which has framebuffer enabled and working right instead of disabled.
Thanks again,
Richard

UPDATE: I may be using the wrong word when I say "moire pattern". This happens not only at shutdown, but also when I try to go from GUI into text mode (CTRL +ALT + F2-F6).
Some one told me that this all has to do the Frame Buffer (which I don't quite understand). When I boot into linux-nonfb, the problem doesn't exist.
HOWEVER, I much prefer the GUI way of booting in (although I don't like the boot theme with the starry-eyed penguin...great for a 5 year old!).
I've always liked how it looks so much nicer to see the details with the blue background and the nice font size, than with the ugly black background, especially when someone seeing Mandriva, or Linux for the first time is around.
So....How can I get back to using the Lilo/Graphical way to boot up and get rid of the frame buffer problem?
Thanks,
Richard

I just reinstalled Mdv2005 and finally got nvidia and X to work. This time the installation recognized my monitor (Viewsonic A90f+) and installed the Nvidia generic XF driver (my card is XF 5200).
Here is the new problem:
When I try to restart or shutdown, the last screen that appears is an ugly moire pattern (not sure if this is the right term or not). It hangs on the moire pattern screen and I have to do the "dirty" shutdown by pressing the power button for 6 or 7 seconds to power off.
I have set the screen size to 1024 x 768 and the refresh rate is 85 hz.
All help with this i greatly appreciated.

Thanks for all the help, Kristi and devries,
I noticed that my Menu had practically no applications in it, so I did a complete reinstall.
During installatin, it found the nvidia module and it configured correctly.
I have a couple of other problems which I'll start in new threads.
You've both been great to reply!
Richard

Thanks, kristi, but typing kde only works each time after I go into XFdrake and choose the Vesa driver each time, so it really isn't the fix I need, since I want a graphical login with the Nvidia driver and 3d acceleration.
I'm still stumped.

I installed Mandriva last night on the 2nd hard drive of my desktop computer, but when I boot up into it, it cannot find any driver for Nvidia.
My Nvidia card is a FX 5200 (from Conqueror). My monitor is a Viewsonic A90f+.
After logging in (init 3) as root, I have typed in XFdrake to choose FX generic and have fiddled with several resolutions, but with no luck. It still won't boot into init 5.
1. Any and all step-by-step instructions would be greatly appreciated to get the generic drive to work.
2. Also, what command line steps do I use to go to the nvidia website and get the commercial driver?

Thanks to all who have responded with good thoughts and suggestions.
Thanks to adamw for clarifying the differrence between Mandriva-Linux-2005-Limited-Edition-DVD.i586.torrent and Mandriva-Linux-2005-Limited-Edition-Download-DVD.i586.torrent.
By their names, it's not possible to tell which is the full, commercial edition and which is not.
Thanks again,
Richard L.

Well, adamw, it looks like I downloaded the 2.1 GB. I looked at the download list again and couldn't find the full club DVD download. I AM a Silver Club member and would like to get it.
BTW, in getting it, would I burn it on two DVD's because of its size, or do I need a dual-layer DVD disc and burner?
Thanks again,
Richard L.

I just installed from the DVD version, downloaded as a Silver Member of the Mandriva Club.
1. I noticed that the DVD version doesn't include the proprietary drivers, which are in CD's 5 and 6. Am I correct on this (I couldn't find them)?
3. I noticed that on the rpm for Realplayer that it is Realplayer 8! Or have I misread the rpm and the 8 is for something else. Why isn't it Realplayer 10 by now, which has been in Linux for at least 6 months (or more) now???
Just curious. :unsure:

Many thanks, Anon...last night, I had already tried "startx" with no success; however, your suggestion to type "XFdrake" did the trick. I chose the screen size at 1600 X1200 76 Mhz and the generic Nvidia 4 drive. Previously, I had a message that Xorg was "broken".
My questions above about proprietary drives I will address under Software.

1. When I downloaded and burned Mandriva LE 2005 (as a club member), I thought that it included the NVIDIA drivers, Realplayer, Flash, etc.
2. When installing, I chose Nvidia 4 Generic. I have an Nvidia GeForce 4 440 Go card on my laptop, a Toshiba 5005-S507. When booting into Mandriva after the installation, I couldn't get a GUI, just command line interface.
I appreciate any advice. Since I'm non-technical, if you give me command lines to solve my problem, please make them very thorough with simple explanations.
If there is a way to do this using the installation DVD, that would be great, too.
3. If the solution is to fix this with a generic, how do I get the following installed from the DVD: NVidia driver for 3d acceleration, Realplayer, Flash, etc. What would the URPMI commands be for each one?
In advance, thanks!

Many thanks adamw for how to submit the bug.
I want to thank everyone for their suggestions and help throughout this thread.
Wishing all a HAPPY NEW YEAR!

Thanks for your quick response, fissy.
Most of them seem to work (I don't have the laptop hooked up to a printer.
However, when I launch the Mandrake menu>System> Configuration>harddrake...the computer freezes up the same way it does when I try to launch MCC.

Thanks adamw. Here is my dmesg. I don't know how to read it to see if there is an error message that would apply. Can you look at it to see what gives? Richard....

Thanks, recover.
I did try this, keeping the splashcreen up for 30 minutes and the laptop still stayed frozen.
I appreciate your suggestions.

Thanks, adamw,
with drakconf --noauto I get the same results: computer freezes up.
Perhaps another idea?

Hi adamw,
I've been away from my laptop for a couple of days; sorry I haven't responded sooner .
I just now typed "drakconf" after su'ing to root.
The splash screen for MCC came up "Loading...Please wait", and the computer froze up again (except the fans are blowing).
When I pressed ENTER after typing "drakconf", the next line was a new command line prompt.
There are no error messages, only a blank command line.
I appreciate your help, adamw, ...and anyone else's help.
Will this let you know enough for another solution?
Thanks again.

Whenever I try to open Mandrake Control Center, its splashscreen freezes the entire computer (it's a laptop...Toshiba 5005-S507).
A friend helped me with a "workaround", which may be helpful to others here; however, I'd sure like to get back the "Point & Click" way of using MCC, so if anyone can help me do this, I'd appreciate it.
Here's the workaround for now:
1. Open terminal, su to root. (Or in KDE open the Root Konsole.)
2. Type drak and hit TAB. This directs you to a list of all the "drak" tools, which are the ones used in Mandrake Control Center.
3. Copy and paste the one you need; press "Enter". For example, I copied and pasted "drakconnect" and was able to configure my network card (Linksys WPC 11 ver. 3). Now I can get on the internet!!!
4. I then copied and pasted the "drak" that was for updates. Since I was already on the 'net, I was able to do the updates for 10.1.
5. There was a "drak" ending in .rpm which brought up "Add/Remove" Packages.
This is a nice, easy workaround if you can't open MCC, but I'd rather have the real GUI. So if anyone can help me, or direct me how to contact Mandrake (I'm a Silver Club member), then I'd greatly appreciate it.

Thanks adamw!
Since this is a new topic, I'll begin a new thread on it, okay? I'll call it something like "MCC freezes up computer" or something similar. I'll try your suggestions below first and include them in the new thread.
Have a pleasant day!

Thanks adamw.
I did what you said and now I can boot all the way up into KDE (Gnome, Icewm, etc.).
I have now encountered another problem:
As I am booting up and showing details, it recognizes the name of my wireless card; however it can't configure it. When I click on the network connection icon on the panel, it tries to configure it, then sends a message to try and configure it with Mandrake Control Center.
However, each time I try to open MCC, MCC's splashscreen freezes up the entire computer (laptop) completely, so I have to force the computer to shutdown by holding the power button for about 6 seconds.
Do you perhaps know a solution? If not, I am a Club member, but don't know where to go to contact Mandrake that this bug happens on my machine.
I sure love Mandrake and want to get it to work as I have in the past with 9.0, 9.2, 10.0 OE.
In advance, thanks again.

Adamw, I have a question about running 'chkconfig harddrake off' as root. I recently installed Mandrake 10.1 and it freezes on "checking new hardware" when booting. If I boot into text mode and use the command above, I presume I'll be able to boot into Mandrake; however, will this prevent Mandrake from detecting and configuration my Linksys WPC11 ver. 3 wireless card, and my Netgear FA411 Notebook Adaptor 10/100 Mbps Fast Ethernet card?
If so, this would mean I would be able to boot into MDK10.1, but I wouldn't be able to get on the internet, nor would I be able to do updates.
In the past I have used Mandrake 9.0, 9.2 and 10.0 on my laptop successfully, after having to do kernel things with help on this forum for them to work. Since Mandrake is my favorite distro, I'd very much like to use 10.1 (since acpi for sound and toshiba laptop utilities work perfectly with this kernel.) Right now, I'm using SuSE 9.2 Pro on another partition, and its working great out of the box with no problem.
But again, I'd much rather use Mandake 10.1.
Can you are another advice on what to do in paragraph 1 above?
Thanks.
Richard

Thanks, pmpatrick....That is what I most likely did in MDK10.1, and I guess I had a "blond" or better yet "senior" moment.
Thanks, daniewicz, for considering the lock session and logout buttons, which are very important. I already had those along with Run command... under Actions as well. I just neglected to include them in my list.
Thank you both for your very quick replies!
Richard
