You will not find the iwl4965 module in that kernel. Have you installed the iwlwifi-4965-ucode package from the official non-free repo? It contains the firmware you need for the iwlagn module that you should be using [root@halfway greg]# modinfo iwlagn | grep -i 4965 alias: iwl4965 firmware: iwlwifi-4965-2.ucode parm: fw_restart4965:restart firmware in case of error (int) Here's some more info on this: intellinuxwireless.org So make sure you're using the iwlagn module. You can check with lsmod | grep -i iwlagn If it's not loaded, you can load it with modprobe iwlagn

Here's a new one:

KDE4 or Gnome? What type and model of video card?

Including me and my laptop.

Yes, you would execute the file with ./a.out You may need to make it executable first with chmod +x a.out You could also specify a name using the -o option g++ file-name -o new-file-name for more info, see 'man g++'.

Try compiling it with g++ instead of gcc. Welcome aboard! :)

From skyplayer.sky.com So it appears that you will have to wait for Moonlight 2.0 to be released. According to the MoonlightRoadmap, there should be a Beta release in mid May 2009.

That's mono, you only need the moonlight plugin from your first link. :)

I'm also using KDE 3.5.10 with Mandriva 2009.0, and it's not located under advanced for me. Please see my screenshot:

I'm not sure what you mean by “Suse, Fedora and Ubunto are the only systems supported.� It works fine for me using Mandriva 2009.0, it's simply a firefox plugin that you install using the instructions in that link. Then you install the Windows codecs package using that plugin.

Did you go to 'KDE Control Center' > 'Regional & Accessibility' > 'Input Actions', and under the 'Preset Actions' > PrintScreen > check the 'Disable' checkbox? If that doesn't work, what version of KDE are you using?

Have you tried using the buffersize option? buffersize=(value in megs)

I agree with theYinYeti that 2Gb of swap is plenty for your setup. I don't think you need 30Gb for the root partition /. I have three different dev environments setup on my system, here is my setup: [greg@halfway ~]$ df Filesystem Size Used Avail Use% Mounted on /dev/sda1 9.1G 7.1G 1.6G 83% / /dev/sda6 82G 15G 68G 18% /home /dev/sdb1 57G 25G 30G 46% /mnt/storage As you can see, even with three dev environments, I still have 1.6Gb unused out of my 9.1Gb root partition /. So I would suggest that you need no more than 10Gb for /. Please keep in mind that this is only my opinion, many here will have a different opinion on this. :)

Are you going to install just one OS on this drive? How much RAM do you have?

I'm not sure, I don't use that software. :) I'm going to give you a link to a forum.mandriva member's site. This is his website, he is Turkish but understands English: http://www.elektronist.com/ Here's the RPMs he builds: http://www.elektronist.com/download/index.html#pcb I would suggest asking him for more info on this.

You can also add it to your menu if that's what you want. Anyway, I'll mark this as solved.

If you're sure it's not in your menu, you will have to add it with your 'menu editor'. Depending on what DE you're using, open your 'menu editor' and add a new entry using the same command you're using to open it now. Do you understand? Welcome aboard! :)

The geda-gschem package from the official Mandriva repos contains the pcb.scm you need, but I see you have it installed. You need to install the libgtk+2.0_0-devel package from the repos to compile it. Also since I believe you're using 64-bit, some of these package names may be different.

Your Trust TB-6300 works with the wizardpen-driver. That's the good news, the bad news is that you will have to compile and install the driver. There has already been an enhancement (wish) bug report made and accepted. It's bug #36394 However there is still no driver included yet. Here's the instructions to compile the driver for Mandriva, they're in Spanish: blogdrake.net You could translate them with google. Here's the latest driver source code: updated-wizardpen-driver-070 Please let us know if you have any questions. Welcome aboard! :)

Here's version 169.04

I've been compiling the latest tree of Arora browser code against the latest Qt-4.5 qt-snapshot from labs.trolltech.com on my Mandriva 2009.0 system since Arora-0.5 was released on Feb. 20th. I compiled the latest arora.git 0.6 this past Friday and I've been using it for two days now without any problems. It supports Flash, Javascript, and the mplayer-plugin, so I can watch youtube, CBS and NBC news with it... I'm using it right now. Firefox 3.0.7 shows 71/100 on the acid3 test, but look at Arora-0.6:

I don't have a new one to show you yet. :)

I don't use compiz, but according to this 'very long' thread: nvnews.net this issue appeared as a regression with 169.07, and has been fixed as of 180.06 or reverting to 169.04. I've moved this from Software to Art and Design - that's where most of the compiz problems are located. :)

Here's a thread that should explain how to fix that: Name in konsole

We could use more info. Please post the output of cat /etc/fstab and cat /boot/grub/menu.lst and (as root) fdisk -l
