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.

Is it software that controls whether the sound is sent to the headphones or to the speakers?

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

my computer is an HP pavillion dv6000

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

One option: Get rid of the U3 nonsense:

 

http://www.u3.com/uninstall/

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

I did as you said and deleted sda1, but sr0 is still there:-

 

# mount

-snip-

/dev/sr0 on /media/cdrom2 type iso9660 (ro,nosuid,nodev,sync,users,iocharset=utf 8)

This is not on your flash drive?

Please post the output of

fdisk -l /dev/sda

# fdisk /dev/sr0

Try # fdisk /dev/sda

here is the result

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

my mouse is a G7 (which I'm sure isn't the problem).

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.

Logitech G5 is a gaming mouse, with several options (i.e. DPI change-buttons, thumb-button, scroll wheel left, scroll wheel right).

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?

i can't use 2007(1) because of my w-lan on my IBM R31.

What is the model (chipset) of your wireless?

I downloaded btnx-0.2.5.tar.gz and did the make and make install, but blow up with the make install. Obviously we don't have a "build-essential" but am not sure what I need. Do you know if an install of gcc would do the trick?

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?

How do I obtain and go about installing the correct driver software?

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.

I guess I question 3.5 as a choice for the One cd ?

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.

It runs yes..but the hourglass thing does too, which leads me to believe something is wrong ?

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

when i read the losaol using a text viewer i get this:

#!/bin/sh

cd /usr/lib/python2.3/site-packages/los-aol;python2.3 losaol

cd -

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

The problem is that I can't find any program that can monitor my CPU temperature.

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:

run alsaconf as root. make sure that the channels are unmuted. If everything is set, type as root

 

 aslactl store

 

this will save the setting.

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?

You have installed Spring (2007.1), but you are trying to install a 2007 app. Have you set up urpmi with the 2007 repos? If so, please correct this with easyurpmi before installing any software.
