  1. connexant fax linmodem

    in Hardware

    Posted

    I have the Conexant Soft 56k HSF. There's a pdf included in the driver.rpm I think in the docs section that includes the 'AT' commands for the linux version of the driver. If fax commands are available you'll have to go to the kfax or whatever programs config file and give it the appropriate commands, if not available in gui. Not fun, and time consuming. I was unable to get the USRoboticsPCI5610B to work in fax mode (only tried a short while) and its driver is included in the kernel. It died on me so I took it back.

    Re: ML 9.0 Problem with realtek 8139 on Shuttle SS51g (Score: 0)

    by Anonymous on Wednesday, October 02 @ 01:58:23 PDT

    Great !!

    I had exactly the same problem as described in Cooker list on my brand new, shiny and tiny Shuttle SS51G (SIS651 FlexATX motherboard). The onboard Realtek 8139 ethernet card was recognized, the appropriate modules were loaded but the network could not be activated. This was my last showstopper.

    The "noapic" trick fixes the problem.

    Now I can move my main environment to 9.0.

    Oh, and they spelled it wrong, it should be acpi.

    Beyond the USB?

    So far, we know that this problem affects ML 9.0 on some HP e-pc 40 machines, but there may be other systems on which the same scenario applies (that's why we want to get that feedback from you).

     

    FInally, there is one more thing to consider: so far this problem has manifested itself as "USB doesn't work" in ML 9.0, but I did a little search on Google, and found out that problems with APIC can manifest in a different way too:

     

      1. System freezing on boot, or at a later time

      2. Instable system

      3. other periferials (network cards, SCSI controllers...) not working.

      4. System freezing when some new hardware piece is added to it.  

     

    I'm definitively not an expert on this, but it looks like "noapic" is a first thing to try whenever a weird problem of the "simple periferias not working" or "why is this so instable now?" type occurs.

  6. Need command-line Guru help - MDK8.2 startx problem

    I got that message a few times when I first started using ML, and what fixed it a few times was to edit XF86Config-4 and add the paths to the fonts.

    Have you installed a updated freetype2? Might try that. Or, remove the font pkgs you installed and reinstall the default, and try something else.

  7. install rpm, missing dependencies

    in Installing Mandriva

    Well normally you can do

    [bvc9@localhost bvc9]$ urpmf libcrypto.so2

    [bvc9@localhost bvc9]$ su

    Password:

    [root@localhost bvc9]# urpmf libcrypto.so2

    [root@localhost bvc9]#

     

    But it looks like this file is not on the cd's. A google advanced suggest

    $ rpm -q --whatprovides libcrypto.so2

    openssl-0.9.6b-8

     

    so you have to install the openssl package.

    But my result is

    [root@localhost bvc9]# rpm -q --whatprovides libcrypto.so2

    no package provides libcrypto.so2

    [root@localhost bvc9]#

    If you go to http://www.club-nihil.net/mub/ and search for "addmedia" you'll get a ton of results for using urpmi to fetch everything you need. Look for a link to a HOWTO or docs for urpmi also. I couldn't find it in the first 4 or so.

  11. How do I unisntall Windows fonts

    in Software

    Posted

    I've pressed the button :shock: and it looks like from there it pulls up the paths to all your fonts, so it seems you're going to have to pick each one you want to uninstall, probably while pressing the Ctrl. What a pain. Sure would be nice if you could just press a "Uninstall Windows Fonts", but then we'd wake up from the dream :P

  14. How to optimize the system boot time

    in Installing Mandriva

    Posted

    I don't know why you'd say that? Why would anyone with a dialup modem, that is not on a network want half the crap ML runs after an install? Who needs harddrake running all the time, much less ever? Fam, xinetd, portmap, and about 3-5 others are completely useless. Fam, xinetd, portmap are only necessary for me if I want to run gnome, NOTilus, and gedit. Not to mention that if you're not on a network , ML is so secure by default you don't "need" a firewall, especially if you're careful about how and when you run servers. Anyway, don't want to debate or anything, it's just how I prefer to run ML.

  16. rox toolbar icons

    For anyone interested, here goes

    http://rox.sourceforge.net/rox_faq.php3#id2590541

    http://developer.gnome.org/doc/API/2.0/gtk...tock-items.html

    How can I theme the toolbar icons?

    Starting with ROX-Filer 1.3.3, you can use the standard Gtk stock icons system to change the toolbar icons. Put something like this in your `~/.gtkrc-2.0' file:

     

    pixmap_path "/path/to/icons"

     

    style "normal" {

      stock["gtk-go-up"] = {{"up-icon.png"}}

    }

     

    widget "*" style "normal"

    I've got

    pixmap_path "/usr/share/galeon/themes/Aquatic"

     

    style "normal" {

      stock["gtk-go-up"] = {{"Up.png"}}

    }

     

    widget "*" style "normal"

     

     

    style "normal" {

      stock["gtk-home"] = {{"Home.png"}}

    }

     

    widget "*" style "normal"

     

     

    style "normal" {

      stock["gtk-refresh"] = {{"Refresh.png"}}

    }

     

    widget "*" style "normal"

     

     

    style "normal" {

      stock["gtk-close"] = {{"Stop.png"}}

    }

     

    widget "*" style "normal"

  19. Configuring GRUB on RH

    in Everything Linux

    Posted

    I've had a few screw-ups in grub that would have made lilo give me the "li" (you're screwed)screen. Grub has always given me an error and basically said "can't do that" and allowed me to choose failsafe,another kernel, or edit the screw up, which is why I use grub, it's so much more forgiving. So if you edit the diff OS strings just don't edit all the diff linux's and you'll have something to fall back on. :)

  22. rox toolbar icons

    in Software

    Posted

    I installed rox-1.3.3-1.mdk.i586 and rox-base-1.0.0-1.mdk.noarch.rpm and I can't seem to figure out how to change the toolbar icons. Unless I'm forgeting something, it's different than the rox I had on my 8.1 (have 9.0 now). I googled and didn't find how, like I did in 8.1, and it's not in the docs that are installed either. Maybe I over looked it, but could some one help me out, I've got everything else setup, and the rox toolbar is the only thing left.

     

    I'm referring to the UP Arrow, Home, Refresh ect....

     

    Thanks :)

  25. Found a bug in /etc/init.d/usb

    in Installing Mandriva

    Posted

    I changed the usb entry in /etc/modules.conf and had the same thing happen, and repaired it with a rescue. I don't think I'd call that a bug though, it's just that usb is being told to load elsewhere and it needs that line, therefore you have to use some program or utility to change all the necessary files, so that the kernel doesn't try to load usb. What exactly are you trying to accomplish?
