Hi all,
I am a relatively new Linux user, ran Ubuntu for a little while and recently decided to try out Mandriva.
After fighting with the install, due more to hardware changes made just prior to install than to the actual installation, I have to say that most things are running smoothly.
I have only 2 main problems I am looking for help with at the moment.
1) Every 10 - 15 minutes or so, the system will hang. Usually just for a couple of seconds, but on occasion it has been as long as a minute or two. It never crashes out, just hangs as though processing something (though no other indications of processing occur). Just wondering if there is anything I can do to fix this.
2) I run the Gnome desktop, even though I prefer many KDE apps for some of my common tasks. For instance I use Akregator as my RSS reader. Akregator runs well, but the notifier icon doesn't appear in my tray, and the buttons don't have icons on them in the program itself. The icon/button is there, I can click on them and they do what they are supposed to do, but they are "invisible". Any help with this would be appreciated.
Thanks in advance for the help.
