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:

PLEASE HELP FC3 WORKED FINE IN LAPTOP. I included my dmesg for more dmesg.

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

Hello guys....

I want to know which file to edit so my terminal will say [imdeemvp@mymdk10.1]$ instead of [imdeemvp@localhost imdeemvp]$

I know how to do it in fedora but not in mandrake, thanks!

[moved from Networking by spinynorman]

up to this day i have been running FC2 very smoothly :D

i am able to play mp3's, movies, stream video, my sony clie works very nice with gnome pilot and kpilot, it has never crashed on me AND all my hardware works fine without any issues.

and i thank LZ for helping me when i need some help with linux question.....i also use mdk 10 on a separate hd no complaints either...for the moment i am a FC2 user and proud to use linux!

SmartLink modems i believe are based on Conexant chipsets....you may want to go here...

http://www.linuxant.com/drivers/?PHPSESSID...c18e0a3699c27b7

:D

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!
