You're using the vlc out of the backports repo. Do you have backports enabled all the time in your software sources? What DE are you using? What is the output of rpm -qa |grep -i vlc

Please follow the instructions listed in section 'Firefox 1.5' on this page: Enabling_software_installs Please let us know if that works for you?

You can not do that with the Mandriva One CD versions. But you can with Mandriva Free or the PowerPack CD/DVD versions. When you are installing your system (for the first time) and you get to the package select section, select custom, then select a very minimal system with icewm-light. After you boot your system for the first time, use rpmdrake to install: task-kde3 and kdebase-kdm-3. Now logout and login to KDE3 and install whatever KDE3 apps you want.

What version of Firefox are you using? Did you install it from the Mandriva repos or another source?

I've used glabels with success and it's easy to use. It's in the Mandriva and Debian (probably Ubuntu) repos. You can also purchase the precut paper (here in the US) to fit the templates.

I've signed it. :) Thanks for pointing it out to us.

Your USB drive is attached at sdc (probably sdc1). We need to know what DE you are using, KDE4 or Gnome? If it's KDE4, you can follow ffi's instructions. Please let us know?

If theYinYeti's sed command looks a bit daunting, this should also give us the info we need dmesg | grep -i usb | tail -n 20; dmesg | grep -i scsi | tail -n 10

Tyme is correct in that you can't do this using Mandriva One. With Mandriva Free or the PowerPack version; When you are installing your system (for the first time) and you get to the package select section, select custom, then select a very minimal system with icewm-light. After you boot your system for the first time, use rpmdrake to install: task-kde3 and kdebase-kdm-3. Here's a complete list of what I know will work for you: [greg@halfway ~]$ rpm -qa |grep -i kde3 systemsettings-kde3-0.2-4.746525.3mdv2009.0 task-kde3-3.5.10-2mdv2009.0 kde3-kjsembed-3.5.10-1mdv2009.0 kde3-amarok-1.4.10-2mdv2009.0 task-kde3-devel-3.5.10-2mdv2009.0 kde3-amarok-engine-xine-1.4.10-2mdv2009.0 kde3-macros-3.5.10-3mdvg2009.0 kde3-kio-sysinfo-1.8.2-10mdv2009.0 kde3-amarok-scripts-1.4.10-2mdv2009.0 [greg@halfway ~]$ rpm -qa |grep -i kdm kdmtheme-1.2.2-1mdv2009.0 kdebase-kdm-3.5.10-6mdv2009.0 mandriva-kdm-config-2009.0-8mdv2009.0 Now you can boot into KDE3 and install whatever you want. Edit: kde3-macros-3.5.10-3mdvg2009.0 is one of my backports to develop with. You would have kde3-macros-3.5.10-2mdv2009.0

In defense of the packagers, it's very hard to package for two different KDE versions in one release. If you had installed KDE3 first with your install, you would have [greg@halfway ~]$ urpmq --requires-recursive task-kde3 | grep -i arts arts libarts1 libkparts4 run-parts [greg@halfway ~]$ urpmq --requires-recursive kdebase-3 | grep -i arts arts libarts1 run-parts but, if you had installed KDE4 first with your install, you would have [greg@halfway ~]$ urpmq --requires-recursive task-kde4 | grep -i arts libkparts4 run-parts [greg@halfway ~]$ urpmq --requires-recursive kdebase4 | grep -i arts libkparts4 run-parts do you understand the problems involved with this?

First of all, what version of Mandriva are you using? Insert the USB drive, open a terminal and please post the output of dmesg | tail -n 20 Welcome aboard! :)

If you take another look, you will see [greg@halfway ~]$ urpmq --requires-recursive kdemultimedia-noatun | grep -i kdemultimedia1-arts libkdemultimedia1-arts

You can also use urpmq --requires package-name or if you want the old more complete behavior, use urpmq --requires-recursive package-name

Try the suggestion in this post.

That is accurate. The size of the download would depend on what you already have installed. In other words, you would need these packages to build the rpm: autoconf automake cabextract elfutils gcc-c++ gettext libgettextmisc libstdc++6-devel libtool-base m4 rpm-build rpm-mandriva-setup-build spec-helper You could install these at your convenience first (many are probably on your install disk), then install the msttcorefonts-bootstrap rpm. Alternatively, you could do (as root) urpmi msttcorefonts-bootstrap-0.1-4brs.noarch.rpm which could be an all-night affair using a 56k dial-up connection. :)

You need the fonts installed. Install this msttcorefonts-bootstrap-0.1-4brs.noarch.rpm. Then you can select Helvetica fonts in Openoffice.

That is a corrupted rpm. [greg@halfway temp]$ rpm2cpio clisp-2.44.1-1mdv2008.1.i586.rpm | cpio -ivd ./usr/bin/clisp ./usr/lib/clisp ./usr/lib/clisp/base ./usr/lib/clisp/base/lisp.run cpio: premature end of file I can't find one anywhere for 2008.1 that isn't corrupted, nor can I find any bug reports about it or any complaints about it. You said you wanted to experiment, so I suppose you'll have to start with compiling it from source. :P sourceforge.net

Frostwire is a java app, there's no binary. You must enter the new directory you've created when you used 'tar -xzvf' to extract the files. You do that with the cd command, it would be something like this: open a terminal and do [greg@halfway ~]$ ls |grep frostwire frostwire-4.17.1.noarch/ [greg@halfway ~]$ cd frostwire-4.17.1.noarch [greg@halfway frostwire-4.17.1.noarch]$ sh runFrostwire.sh follow the instructions to set up the app. Please note that you will need to have java installed on your system for this to work.

Was your original installation Mandriva One? If so, you've got it sorted. :) If you intend to use the xfce DE, it is not important, simply select notification-daemon-xfce.

When you use the gui package manager to install task-xfce, and it says “Please choose one of the following packagesâ€, select the package (version of depends) that matches your system.

Is there some reason why you are not using the hplip, hplip-hpijs, and foomatic-db-hpijs packages from the official Mandriva repos? I only ask because they should support your printer without any problems.

I think that you need to update your sources again. [greg@halfway ~]$ urpmq --sources quanta http://gulus.usherbrooke.ca/pub/distro/Mandrakelinux/official/2009.0/i586/media/main/ release/quanta-4.1.2-1mdv2009.0.i586.rpm [greg@halfway ~]$ urpmq --sources kdewebdev http://gulus.usherbrooke.ca/pub/distro/Mandrakelinux/official/2009.0/i586/media/contrib/ release/kdewebdev-3.5.9-6mdv2009.0.i586.rpm

According to comment #4 in that bug report; bug # 45552 Adding clocksource=jiffies as a kernel boot parameter allows it to boot.
