ok, thanks for your answers

1) i tried to reinstall xawtv :

urpme xawtv

urpme xawtv-common

delete .xawtv in home directory

urpmi xawtv, which installe xawtv and xawtv-common

2) i tried both to launch xawtv as user and as root but, it freezes again in both cases

3) i tried alt-sys-r, alt-sys-s ... alt-sys-b and the computer reboots

so it is a X freeze, as kernel responds for rebooting.

Could this be a problem with ati drivers, like they don't like overlay or 32 bit render ?

please help

Thanks for your answer

if i run it from a console, it freezes too but nothing appears before.

I also look at the /var/log/messages but nothing about the freeze

what is the "alt-sysrq-r,s,e etc out" ?

thanks

Hello,

I've installed Mandriva 2005

I've updated it

When i launch xawtv, the window appears with strange colors, a window called "Welcome" appears, but my computer freezes instantly.

I can only reboot it...

At the other side, tvtime works great with no pbs.

I need xawtv too, can you help me ? It worked great with Mdk 10.0 and 10.1

My hardware :

Athlon XP 2800+

1 Go Ram

Ati Radeon 9600 pro

Pinnacle PC TV

Mandriva 2005

kernel 2.6.11-12mdk

ati-driver-8.14.13

xawtv 3.94

Well, after some tries, i found one thing :

At boot, the Windows key is found as F13 by khotkeys

But, with the mandrake control center, if i set up my keyboard in the keyboard section, the Windows key is recognised as the Windows key

In khotkeys, i can use the Win + E and it works

But 2 problems :

- The K menu doesn't appear when the windows touch is pressed

- if I restart the mandrake, the Windows key is set up as F13 again.

DaveQB -> yes, my keyboard has 3 special keys, and i've just assigned one of its to open Konqueror, and it works ;)

But, i'm sure khotkeys could be used to have Win + E for Konqueror and Win to lauch K menu.

Perhaps, a command can tell that F13 = Win ?

Hello

In the KDE control center, there's a tool called "khotkeys"

I try to enable the "Go to KDE Website" in the examples group, but it doesn't work.

First, i activate the examples group, then i activate the "Go to KDE Website"

After validating, if i use "Windows + E", the menu pop ups and the focus go to "Executer une commande".

Can anyone help me ?

thanks for your answers ;)

Hello,

I've beta tested the mandriva 2005.

So i have the last RC2 installed, updated with cooker rpms until yesterday.

This morning, i change my urpmi configuration in order to use the official rpms instead of cooker ones.

A urpmi --auto-select said that all is up to date.

So, what is the differences between my RC2 updated and a fresh 2005 official installation ?

(only commercial packages ?)

Thanks for your answers ;)

have you seen my topic just behind yours ?

Pierre Lo Cicero gave me the answer :

in /etc/shorewall/policy, there is :

masq net ACCEPT

loc net ACCEPT

fw net ACCEPT

net all DROP info

all all REJECT info

just transform in :

masq net ACCEPT

loc net ACCEPT

fw net ACCEPT

net all DROP

all all REJECT

and it works.

hopes that help another person.

Hello,

I have a problem with shorewall.

It spends time writing warnings in /var/log/messages and /var/log/syslog

Like this :

Apr 3 11:34:32 bureau kernel: Shorewall:net2all:DROP:IN=ppp0 OUT= MAC= SRC=12.216.*.* DST=213.103.*.* LEN=48 TOS=0x00 PREC=0x00 TTL=112 ID=12341 DF PROTO=TCP SPT=4575 DPT=21191 WINDOW=64240 RES=0x00 SYN URGP=0

The problem is that the size of /var/log/messages & /var/log/syslog are now > 20 Mo !

It didn't do this in mdk 9.2

I'm under mdk10 with kernel 2.6.3-7mdk and shorewall-1.4.8-3mdk

Do you have any idea ?
