  7. gnu backgammon problem

    in Games

    Posted

    I grew tired of getting spanked! This is POWERFUL stuff.

     

    Turn the predefined settings down. It's probably set on expert by default, so try the advanced setting. If you really want to get spanked... set it on grandmaster. :D

  9. gnu backgammon problem

    in Games

    Posted

    I was also having an intermittent segmentation fault during the game. So I opened the game with the -d (debug) option

    gnubg -d

    for more output, but that didn't show the problem. I then used gdb to run the game

    gdb /path/to/gnubg

    then entered 'run' to check. This gave me some libpulse text in the output.

     

    So I turned off the sound and the game hasn't had a sigsegv since... YMMV :unsure:

  10. gnu backgammon problem

    in Games

    Posted

    Here's a quick fix... if you don't need sound. Open the game gui and go to settings > options > sound > and disable the sound effects > click OK. :)

     

    Also, you 'may' have to do this every time you start the gui... or add the -q option to the command line:

    gnubg -q

    :D

  11. No "Create File" in Dolphin's context menu

    in Software

    Posted

    I think the problem / change is in the /usr/share/apps/dolphin/dolphinui.rc file... I do not have Mandriva installed to check this. I would suggest making a copy of your current dolphinui.rc file in a safe place. Then d/l and extract the attached dolphinui.tar.gz and replace your /usr/share/apps/dolphin/dolphinui.rc with it. Restart dolphin and see if it works, if not, replace it with the original you have.

     

    Please let us know if that works for you.

     

    Removed the file – it didn't solve the problem.

  15. Mandriva Application Manager (MAM)

    This is from the cooker ML yesterday:

     

    Resending on behalf of Paulo Belloni, as his original mail was rejected by

    Hi folks!

    Today we have posted the first publicly available screencast of the new

    Mandriva Application Manager (MAM). It shows the basic look& feel.

    There are many features to come and improvements to do.

    Soon we are are going to deliver the first alpha (at least a tech

    preview) too.

    Cheers,

    Paulo

  18. APC UPS ES 750 never seen by Mandriva 10.1

    in Hardware

    Posted

    I tried removing ohci-hcd and ehci-hcd, then nothing worked on the usb ports.

     

    You need to load either ohci_hcd or uhci_hcd for a USB host controller driver. I'm not sure why you're having this problem, but I can show you what I'm using for my ES 550.

    [root@halfway greg]# lsusb | egrep -i power
Bus 001 Device 002: ID 051d:0002 American Power Conversion Uninterruptible Power Supply
[root@halfway greg]# lspcidrake -v | egrep -i apc

[root@halfway greg]# lsmod | grep usb

usbcore               185648  7 usbhid,usblp,ehci_hcd,uhci_hcd

    I would suggest trying the kernel-linus that K Bergen suggested.

  20. Mageia Mailing-Lists Forum Gateway

    in Mageia

    Posted

    I've been on the Mageia ML since 9-19-10 and I read your comments when you announced this setup. However you said “please be gentle... :) this forum is running on a relatively low power rented virtual serverâ€, so that's why I never posted it here.

     

    Thanks for all the work you've put into this bidirectional gateway ML forum test, it works very well. :thumbs:
