  1. @ ffi: Already tried 2008.0 That one does not even load properly...
  2. @ ffi: French? Ummm... Google Translations to the rescue... Yeah, it is. It didn't work for me, though. The out-of-the-box support via Connection > DSL > Speedtouch failed miserably. The original reason for trying to find a workaround.
  3. Ok, finally got the connection working. Had to settle for a very messy way: running the script. Had to download more tiny files than I've ever downloaded. Thanks to all those who helped me: it was a mixture of the advice from all of you. Thanks!
  4. @ ffi: Sorry, I didn't get what you meant in that last post... (edit: I see what you mean. Ok, then I'll give it a go. Pulling up my socks and going on a download spree for all the packages from my Windows internet) Oh, and I'm very grateful to you people for helping me out here.
  5. @ ffi: Ummm... I don't know if you noticed, but I'm the same person who's having problems with the Speedtouch 330 Modem. P.S. I'm tearing my hair out now.
  6. @ ffi: Actually, it's quite interesting. I'm getting a 404 Not Found error on the link you've given. But that's besides the point. Truth be told, I'm not sure at all. But that's what the dear linux-usb guide says. Moreover, I just checked, the the linux-atm package is not installed on my system. In the end, I think it's all coming down to installing a slew of files, one dependency after another, when I cannot connect to the internet at all. I do have access to Windows, but this mess is just getting too painful... I don't know what I should do.
  7. @ Pup: Please do. I'll be much obliged. @ arctic: Well, it is not exactly the latest. It's the one that came with the CD. But I have no means of updating it either: I'm having trouble with my internet connection too, as you know from my other thread in the hardware forum (Speedtouch 330). But I'm quite sure it's not some conflict: the Mandriva I'm running is still practically brand new, and I've installed practically nothing yet. There's nothing I can pick up in the log folders you specified. @ medo3891: Here it is: [superphysics@localhost ~]$ rpm -qa | grep compiz libcompizconfig0-0.7.2-1mdv2008.1 compiz-0.7.2-3mdv2008.1 compiz-fusion-2008.1-2mdv2008.1 libcompiz0-0.7.2-3mdv2008.1 compiz-decorator-gtk-0.7.2-3mdv2008.1 compiz-decorator-kde-0.7.2-3mdv2008.1 libcompizconfig-python-0.7.2-1mdv2008.1 compiz-fusion-plugins-main-0.7.2-1mdv2008.1 [superphysics@localhost ~]$ rpm -qa | grep ccsm ccsm-0.7.2-2mdv2008.1 @ Lexicon: I just tried your suggestion. Then I retried all the 3D effects (rebooted 3 times). As far as I can tell, there is no effect of any kind at all.
  8. @ ffi: Yes, the very same. But the part you are mentioning refers to the PPPoA section. Note that the guide itself says: "The Mandriva CDs don't come with the br2684ctl bridging utility so it's not possible to configure a PPPoE over ATM connection with the Mandriva Control Centre." What I have is PPPoE. I think this ISP has conspired against me in every way possible.
  9. @ ffi: I can find no option that would allow me to set up my Modem, let alone configure it... Mandriva shows no option of the kind that might help me. @ arctic: That does work. So does the HowTo on linux-usb.sourceforge.net. But what does not happen is the capability to turn the connection on and off at will. My ISP charges me by the hour, so that's quite vital for me. Besides, these methods require downloading of one file after another - and I'm already hard pushed to come online. If only there were a way to run the Gnome USB ADSL Manager on the Mandriva KDE.... http://www.squeezedonkey.com/wiki/linux/in...title=Main_Page
  10. I'm not sure, but sound in Linux seems to be handled differently. I had a similar issue with OpenSUSE 10.3 on my Acer Ferrari. I simply found out that KMix has a different channel for the loudspeakers and the output jack, and that for the output jack was muted. I simply unmuted it, raised the volume, and zeroed the volume for my loudspeakers... Hope it helps you.
  11. Has nobody encountered such a problem before? People with ATI cards?
  12. Oh, and thanks everybody, for helping me out here!
  13. @ Greg2: Yes, I did try it. Not with the GUI (it needs tk, and to get that with all it's dependencies means going online - which I can't. I got the main package via USB), but without it. The problem is that like all other tools, it goes via the Ethernet, not USB. Which is the whole blastedness of it all. @ David Batson: It's isn't recognized as anything at all. No response, no notification, no indication that anything has been connected at all! @ AussieJohn: Actually, that just may work! What do the more technical people say? I don't want to get in a jam!
