mandriva sound like gay and lesbian club (no pun intended please) ..... all these years you have this manly name and now sounds very girly ...... fedora sound even better....

Just with mdk 10.1.....I works fine with fc3. I already checked those sites with no results. I have a fairly new laptop. acpi=ht was there after installation but did solve my issue. I replaced mdk 10.1 with fc3 and now I am fine.

Ok, one of the things I like about mandrake is their KDE has a nice startup sound when desktop is loading. I always wanted to do it in fedora but using GNOME enviroment. So I posted the thread here. But I could not wait for the answer and started experimenting will all the players I installed (realplayer, mplayer, xmms, rhymthbox). But all of them started in GUI but not mplayer! so this what you can do: 1. Download what ever sound you like from www.gnome-look.org and go to system sounds. This is the sound I am using. 2. Leave your sound in the home directory (unless some else can help with this). 3. In order for sound to play in the background you need to install mplayer. 4. Go to preferences >more preferences >sessions >startup programs and add this command: mplayer Startup1_4.ogg and the sound will play in the backgroud without starting mplayer gui at your desktop STARTUP! Update: TESTED in mandrake 10.1 using Gnome 2.6 and it works. Install mplayer packages for mandrake via urpmi. urpmi mplayer I did not know where to post this so enjoy and feel free to move it.

I am having same problem. My fan is always running and I can see to get acpi working. I am using mdk 10.1 and this is my system: compaq presario 2103us amd 2800+ 768 OF RAM lilo; menu-scheme=wb:bw:wb:bw image=/boot/vmlinuz label="LinuxMandrake" root=/dev/hda5 initrd=/boot/initrd.img append="nolapic devfs=nomount pci=noacpi apm=off acpi=on pmdisk=/dev/hda6 resume=/dev/hda6 splash=silent" vga=788 read-only image=/boot/vmlinuz label="linux-nonfb" root=/dev/hda5 initrd=/boot/initrd.img append="acpi=ht resume=/dev/hda6 splash=silent"[/b <<<] IF I USE THIS LINE I AM ABLE TO LOGIN PLEASE HELP FC3 WORKED FINE IN LAPTOP. I included my dmesg for more dmesg.

Ok thanks aru....it now say: [imdeemvp@mymdk10.1]$

I have an ATI Redeon 8500 64MB DDR AGP and so far no problems what so ever...i got from ebay and it only costed me like $60 including shipping. I tried this video card under RH and Fedora, CollegeLinux and MDK 9.1 and now 10. So if you can get an ATI go for it

Aze said this: "my hd isnt accessible anymore! i'm really furious! i trusted mandrake linux. every where i gone i said only good things about this OS" if you use the maxtor hard drive tools can low level format your hard drive and reinstall everything again....and you will till have your 80gb hd! to be honest i had more problems with fedora than with mdk 9.1 and i also tried mdk 10 it messed up my wins xp the only thing i have about wins xp is the stupid registration and all the new virus coming up....you have no idea how many times i needed to reinstall wins xp on my kids pc.....all because of viruses! let me list some fedora problems (btw i also use fedora) 1. xmms media player not good (on mdk 9.1 i just placed mouse curser and it plays mp3 on the spot) 2. no video player for movies 3. lexmark printer does not work 4. mounting nfts partions is a headache (easy under mdk and you can write under mdk not in fedora is read only) 5. burning software not good (excellent kb3 in mdk) and i cant keep counting....and counting..... i think you can work something out....and good luck to you!
