  1. @ rldev- I've located an independently compiled and packaged 64-bit rpm for you. ffi is one of our members and aka appgorilla over at fourm.mandriva. He has made a working google-chrome-4.0.223.5r29485-0aap2010.0.x86_64.rpm and it's available here: 2shared.com/file/google-chrome

     

    He has shared this work with tarakbumba, the admin at the Mandriva Turkiye Forums. The Mandriva Turkiye Repository is here:

    http://depo.mandrivaturkiye.com/index_en.htm

    the file is here:

    http://depo.mandrivaturkiye.com/2010.0/x86_64/free/index.html

     

    Thank you ffi for all your work on this, and thank you tarakbumba for hosting it. :)

     

    The complete thread about this is here:

  2. How about a 64bit repo?

    Here's the 64-bit repo

    urpmi.addmedia -v google64 http://dl.google.com/linux/rpm/stable/x86_64
    

    however it doesn't contain a google-chrome rpm. AFAIK, there's not a 'working' 64-bit available from google code yet. You may find one somewhere that someone has independently compiled and packaged, I'm not sure.

  3. I just wished I could find a rpm repo for Chromium.

    If you must have the latest google-chrome, you need to add the repo.

    [root@halfway greg]# urpmi.addmedia -v google http://dl.google.com/linux/rpm/stable/i386
    getting exclusive lock on urpmi
    adding medium "google"
    not using metalink since requested downloader does not handle it

    [root@halfway greg]# exit
    exit
    [greg@halfway ~]$ urpmq --fuzzy google-chrome
    google-chrome-unstable

    here's the package key:

    https://dl-ssl.google.com/linux/linux_signing_key.pub

    Key ID: Google, Inc. Linux Package Signing Key <linux-packages-keymaster@google.com>

    Fingerprint: 4CCA 1EAF 950C EE4A B839 76DC A040 830F 7FAC 5991

     

    and don't forget the dependencies.

     

    And just a FYI- I don't use it, I'm simply showing you how to get it. :)

  4. According to HP's specs here: hp.com/products/quickspecs/#Memory

     

    Your laptop was 'probably' sold with 512 MBs of RAM. You 'probably' have an ATI RADEON XPRESS 200M Chipset that is sharing some of that RAM. I would suggest that you enter the BIOS setup and reduce the shared memory of your 200M Chipset. This would give you a bit more system RAM. If you still have problems with using Gnome, you may want to try using the LXDE desktop, it's in the repos.

     

    Alternatively and if you can afford it, you could install some more RAM in your laptop and use anything you want. :)

  5. I would also suggest checking what libfreetype package you have installed with

    rpm -qa | grep libfreetype

    if it's a plf rpm, you may want to replace it with the mdv rpm. The plf package (rpm) has bytecode interpreter and subpixel hinting enabled. So unless you know how to set up your subpixel rendering properly, you may want to use the mdv rpm and the default font system settings.

  6. I didn't realize that you wanted to upgrade your existing 32-bit system to 64-bit. I would not recommend trying to do that using any method, it would most likely turn your system into a disaster. :unsure:

     

    If you want to try 64-bit, I would suggest (IMHO) using a clean install.

  7. Kieth - All you need to do after you have installed the system is enable the:

     

    Main

    Main Updates

    Contrib

    Contrib Updates

    Non-free

    Non-free Updates

     

    then (using easyurpmi) add the:

     

    PLF Free

    PLF Non-free

     

    repos to your sources. Then you will have everything you need available to install.

  8. I would like to go to the x86-64 system. What would be the best way to do it?

    As Ken has already noted, you can use the mandriva-linux-free-dual-2010.iso. It will automatically detect your 64-bit cpu and install a 64-bit system for you. Alternatively, you could d/l the 4.3GB mandriva-linux-free-2010.0-x86_64.iso and install with that.

  9. @sjaglin- I've moved your post to this topic
