If your an advocate of open source:

And a built-in browser, and widgets, and google maps, music and...and...and...did you read the feature list? Sure, you have your blackberries and windows ce based devices out there...but have you ever used on of those? They're a pain in the arse, small screens, smaller buttons...the revolutionary part is the design. That's what Apple does, concentrates on HCI.After all it is still a phone, nothing more, nothing less.CBS last night:
-
"urpmi.addmedia command not found"
You must do it as root

I have to type the password every time I'm prompted for it, wright?
Simply keep your wallet open:
Open K-wallet and right click on it in your panel (taskbar), and select Configure Wallet.
In the Close Wallet section make sure you have all boxes unchecked.

playing mms://..........
Even though it says that it is playing, there is no video screen and no video playing.
Here's a simple fix:

Edit: For Mandriva 2007 change the
/usr/bin/X11/mplayer
to
/usr/bin/mplayer

MCC cannot find it under the name 'gnome-sound-recorder'
gnome-media
check the Requires (depends) here:

I'm glad you have it working, and don't forget... google is your friend :)

There IS another driver offered, however (snd-intel8x0). Don't suppose you happen to know whether it's any good or not, do you?
I'm using the snd-intel8x0 with a SiS7012 on my desktop now... ALSA works great.
As Aussie-John has already noted “Try different ones”, then use the one that works/sounds best.

I can find RPMs for all other mdk's except 10.2; can anyone help out with a source? Thanks.

This only happens in mdv2007, in 2006 i achieve the correct speeds or very close to it.
If it's still not writing at the speed you want, check the options in K3b.
Open K3b, go to:
Settings> Configure K3b> Devices> click on 'Max write speed' (the number) and change it to the desired speed... that your burner and media will handle
-
I would guess that you still do not have the correct driver for the sounchip. Go into MCC and try some alternative driver selections.
If none work then your new machine may be too new for a suitable driver for the moment.
A quick google shows that sound works with Intel Corporation 82801G (ICH7 Family) using the snd-hda-intel driver

greg2; I installed audioconverter, now I'm in the process of looking for it. I have no idea where the installer put it.
Right-click> Actions> convert to
:D
-
[root@THE_MACHINE woodworker]# urpmi audiokonverter no package named audiokonverter [root@THE_MACHINE woodworker]#
No, No good.
Here:

Sorry, I didn't notice your sig said Mandriva 2006
-
OK, K3B still will not handle flac files.
urpmi audiokonverter
will give you an 'easy to use' right-click converter, then you can burn the converted files to cd
I know this isn't exactly what you are after... but it will work.

So now I'm looking at your PITA fixes. Do I want to go there?
Do you have a log from the terminal when (if) you did it?
If not I have a test box, I will do it for you?
It's the only way I know to find what damage you have done?
Let me know?

I also tried this in Konsole: "kdesu /usr/sbin/drakconf.real" and I get a popup login request that fails when I enter my password, which lead me to think that there might be something wrong somewhere in the kdesu process. So I researched that, and decided that perhaps the ".Xauthority" file might be corrupt; so I tried both renaming it and deleting it, and rebooting, and still got the password errors through kdesu regardless. And so now I'm stumped and need some help.
It sounds like you may have started a KDE app as root instead of using kdesu?
First, you should never do that... but if you have already done so, a few things happen:
you create a new authority file /root/.ICEauthority
you create (or overwrite) new directories, files and symlinks in /root that you do not need
you change ownership and perms in /home/whomever/.ICEauthority
The first two are a PITA to fix, and you may or may not need to fix them.
The 3rd can be done easily... as you 'have' done with the .Xauthority file.
Make a copy of the /home/xxx/.ICEauthority (just in case I'm wrong), then delete it from home.
Reboot your system... it 'should' create a new one.
Let use know if it works for you?

Ok, if you want to listen to this or 'almost' any streaming radio or video
http://www.wabcradio.com/article.asp?id=122648
You will need to install:
mplayer1.0-1.pre8.13plf2007.0
real-codecs-1.2.3plf
win32-codecs-1.8-1plf2007.0
mplayerplugin-3.25-2mdv2007.0
and for .asx you will need:
vlc-0.8.5-11plf200.0
mozilla-plugin-vlc-0.8.5.11mdv2007
Please note (from their site):
Sorry, but if your ISP is located outside of the U.S.A. you will no longer be able to stream WABC radio at this time for the Saturday music show which runs from 6pm–10pm.
Let us know if that works for you?
http://www.wabcradio.com/ and follow LISTEN LIVEAnd we want to listen to it for long periods of time.
I'm listening to it now with the packages I've listed for you to install.

It seems what you are doing involves archived files, download them then play them.
I've only d/l an address, and changed it to an address (URL) that mplayer can use.
It's one I found on this site:
and Firefox plugins would not handle the URL
Show me a link to what you want to listen to and I'll check it.

I have a problem with audio streaming. I am in the Third World, and want to listen to radio streaming, to wit, US talk shows. They come in fine in XP but I don't want to use XP. In Mandriva free 2007 I get the audio player for WABC
to come up, then it says: CAN'T PARSE THAT NO FILES.
Here's a workaround (hack) to convert http to pnm (ram to ra) and use mplayer:

you can ignore the invalid chunksize... it plays very well :)

What is the purpose of flashplayer.xpt?
It provides scripting support for the flash player.
The rest of this post is probably 'more' than you want to know. :)
.xpt is the standard suffix for XPCOM type libraries
XPCOM stands for Cross-Platform Component Object Model. The purpose of XPCOM is to provide a mechanism for writing modular software objects (components) over a reasonably large number of platforms. XPCOM type libraries contain binary definitions of interfaces used by cross-thread marshalling routines and JavaScript to call objects. In other words they are as vital as DLLs to ensure Gecko functions properly.
