Would you post (or attach as a text file if it's huge) your dmesg output?

I just checked CNN, and they have changed to Adobe Flash. However I can still watch it with both the Firefox2.0.0.1(Mandriva 2007), and Iceweasel2.0.0.4 (Debian Etch) using the Adobe Flash player plugin 9.0.31.0 without any problems.

Many new systems don't have hardware switches to do this, they use software switches. :)

Is your laptop cpu 64 bit? Please post the output of cat /proc/cpuinfo What sound card do you have? Please post the output of lspci |grep Audio

I just did a quick search and found this U3 stuff, and I agree with chris:b, get rid of it.

This is not on your flash drive? Please post the output of fdisk -l /dev/sda

Try # fdisk /dev/sda

Here's Ian's thread about a similar sound card, it should be of help to you: Sound not working [solved]

If you do a quick google search for 'G7 mouse Linux', you will find many users with problems and fixes. I don't have one, so I can't offer much help.

ollisalonen.com/btnx It was developed for Ubuntu, but it now has generic scripts to make it work with Mandriva.

What are you trying to compile and install? Have you installed libgtk+2.0_0-devel?

What is the model (chipset) of your wireless?

If you didn't receive any errors with 'make' you should have everything installed that you need to build this. I don't have that mouse to try this, but I believe if you d/l the new version btnx-0.2.11 from ollisalonen.com. Then follow the same instructions, except instead of doing make install do make install-generic it should work for you?

If you haven't already done so, please read and set up urpmi using the instructions in this thread: Software installation Then in a terminal as root do urpmi dkms-ati

I'm sorry, but I have never used Mandriva One. I guess we should have cleared this version thing up earlier? :huh: Maybe someone here that uses Mandriva One can be of more help? :)

Since your last post was only 2 minutes after mine, I'm not sure you've tried the modification? It doesn't matter, it wouldn't work for you anyway. :P I've never used AOL, but in theory this should work... I've d/l the file and took a peek inside. It's GPL code that was written in 2004 with python 2.3. You could open the losaol python script in the los-aol directory and change the first line to #!/usr/bin/python2.4 -O and then open all binary files with a hex editor and change 2.3 to 2.4 You must still make the change to the shell script listed in my other post. You have to move the entire los-aol directory to /usr/lib/python2.4/site-packages and make sure all permissions are for the user. It's not as hard as it sounds.

What version of Mandriva are you using, Mandriva One, 2007, or Spring?

I'm not sure I understand your problem? Close the 'Mandriva control center' and go to System > Configuration > KDE > Appearance and Themes > Launch Feedback, and the only thing that should be on your KDE kicker is 'Configure-KDE Control Module' while your making the change.

I believe you missed ffi's point? Go to Appearance and Themes->Launch Feedback and uncheck 'Enable taskbar notifacation'. Your hourglass will vanish!

I can't promise you that this will work, but you could try editing the script for python2.4 and see if that works? #!/bin/sh cd /usr/lib/python2.4/site-packages/los-aol;python2.4 losaol cd -

It depends on your motherboard, BIOS, and acpi support in the Linux kernel your using. You can check to see if the thermal module is loaded with (as root) lsmod |grep thermal if it's loaded do acpi -V for your temps. Welcome to the MUB! :)

The newer one, 2007.1 :D

Using your gui package manager or urpmi, install lm-sensors and gkrellm 'or' ksensors. Then as root run sensors-detect then open gkrellm or ksensors and set it up the way you want.

What you have now (with the mixed libs) will cause you problems installing software in the future, and possibly other problems you have yet to notice. I'm sorry, but I would suggest that you reinstall your system with either 2007 or 2007.1 and then set up the 'proper' repos. :sad:

It's alsactl store I was searching for a sound related problem, and found this typo that could cause a newbie problems. Maybe some admin/mod could edit this?
