Have you updated exaile since Monday?

Revision: 383805

Patch2: fix support for pyinotify

It would be exaile-0.3.0-0.a2.4mdv2009.1

It's working fine for me, and I can't reproduce your problem.

If you're using Gnome, just install the gksu package. You shouldn't have to use sudo, unless you want to.

Have you installed the configure-thinkpad package from the repos? It has settings for hibernate, standby, and suspend.

Try the old symlink trick

ln -s /usr/lib/libexpat.so.1.5.2 /usr/lib/libexpat.so.0

When you install Mandriva, IceWM is automatically installed by default as a fallback-alternative.

That was changed in the 2009.1 release.

Default light environment is now LXDE (Lightweight X11 Desktop Environment) instead of icewm in all available isos.

The Gnome system sounds are in the gnome-audio package. That package installs them to ‎/usr/share/sounds. I don't have Gnome installed to check this, but I think if you go to System > Preferences > Sound, and click on the 'Sounds' tab, you should be able to change these sounds with the gui.

When booting the network interface is bring up before PCMCIA card

It has been a long time since I've used Mandrake 9.2, but I would suggest that you open your gui network interface section and remove (delete) your current network config. Then create a new network config with your pcmcia card, and set the config to (I'm not sure about these 'check box' names, but they 'should' be similar) 'do not start at boot' and 'user managed' in the gui check boxes. This should allow you to start and stop the network after the boot without any problems.

I hope that makes sense to you. :)

I also agree with scarecrow about using Puppy Linux. I've had Puppy working on some very old systems.

If stopping the network first doesn't work for you, you can use cardctl. In a terminal (as root) do

cardctl ident

this should give you the socket #. Now use the socket # (I will use 0 for this example) and do

cardctl suspend 0

now you should be able to shutdown your system, without using the reset button.

@mykee- I'm glad you have it sorted out. Welcome aboard! :)

The 2009.1 release notes also show how to enable the Ctrl+Alt+backspace shortcut.

Here: 2009.1_Notes#X.org_7.4

However, since the OP needed this info about 5 months ago... we may be too late.

It works for me.

What's the output of

midentify /home/lex/g.amr

Here's my file

[greg@halfway testing]$ midentify Chimp.amr
ID_AUDIO_ID=0
ID_FILENAME=Chimp.amr
ID_DEMUXER=lavf
ID_AUDIO_FORMAT=samr
ID_AUDIO_BITRATE=0
ID_AUDIO_RATE=8000
ID_AUDIO_NCH=1

ID_CHAPTERS=0
ID_AUDIO_BITRATE=0
ID_AUDIO_RATE=8000
ID_AUDIO_NCH=1
ID_AUDIO_CODEC=ffamrnb
ID_EXIT=EOF

You can install the amrnb, amrwb, and the sox packages from the PLF repos and use the cli to convert to wav files. Or you can download the mmc-lin.tar.gz from here: MobileMediaConverter

Then extract it to your ~/home directory, cd MobileMediaConverter, then do ./MobileMediaConverter, then convert your AMR files to 'almost' anything you want... OGGs work great for me.

Should I delete the last line or change it to "install ipv6 /bin/false" ?

If you're using Mandriva 2009.1, you can disable ipv6 with the gui.

If you experience sluggish response on the Internet - especially when browsing web sites - and cannot find the cause, you should try disabling IPv6. To do this, left-click the net_applet icon in the system tray this will open the Network Center, now open Advanced Settings and check Disable IPv6, then click OK and restart the system. (You can also reach the Network Center by opening the Mandriva Control Center > Network & Internet > Network Center).

Disabling the ipv6 option will now give you this line in /etc/modprobe.conf

[greg@halfway ~]$ cat /etc/modprobe.conf | grep -i ipv6
options ipv6 disable=1

Opera 10 beta1 with Opera turbo has been released.

More info and downloads are here: my.opera.com/community/blog/opera-10-beta-1

I've installed the opera-10.00-b1.gcc4-qt4.i386.rpm from here: opera/linux/1000b1/beta1/en/ on my Mandriva 2009.1 KDE 4.2.2 system, and it's working great! Yes, that's correct, KDE 4.2.2... :)

I agree with dexter, you shouldn't be building packages as root, and I won't waste any of my time debating that issue.

I would suggest that you follow these instructions to set up a special build tree: Development/Howto/RPM

I've built you (or anyone else that needs it) an fslint rpm. :) I've made it, installed it, and tested it on a Mandriva 2009.1 system. If you have any questions, please check the ‎/usr/share/doc/fslint directory for help.

I'll attach it here for awhile:

I can´t check with glxgears as it tells me ´command not found´

If you're using the x11-driver-video-fglrx, as I've noted in my previous post, you can run

fgl_glxgears

I've moved some topics today and I'll be moving more tomorrow.

Since spinynorman has made this announcement, I didn't think it was necessary to treat moving all of these topics as we normally would. So please note that I'm only leaving a few links in the source forums and a few 'moved by Greg' edits where I thought that there may be some confusion, or were recent topics.

So if you've lost a topic, please look here. :)

It's not your graphics card or the driver. Are you using compiz or another 3D desktop?

I agree with daniewicz, I don't believe that this is only a driver problem. The output you've posted looks ok. Would you please post (at least three lines) the output of

glxgears

how/why does nautilus and gedit interact via the presence of these gconf entries?

Here's a few things to help you understand this:

GConf is a system for storing application preferences. It is intended for user preferences

GConf looks for each value in a series of storage locations called configuration sources. These are specified in a file called /etc/gconf/<version>/path. Each configuration source has a backend that knows how to read it - for now, this is always the "xml" backend, which stores data in XML files.

By default, GConf comes configured as follows:

 

xml:readonly:/etc/gconf/gconf.xml.mandatory

include "$(HOME)/.gconf.path"

xml:readwrite:$(HOME)/.gconf

xml:readonly:/etc/gconf/gconf.xml.defaults

The readwrite source ~/.gconf is where user settings are normally written.

GConf per-user daemon (gconfd)

 

The current GConf implementation involves a per-user daemon. This daemon's primary purpose is to notify applications when a configuration value has changed. As a secondary task, it caches values, so each application doesn't have to parse XML files.

Welcome aboard! :)

Make sure you have the mesa and mesa-demos packages installed from the official Mandriva repos. Then please post the output of

glxinfo | grep -E -i 'rendering|OpenGL|server glx|client glx'

OK, I'm guessing that you're not happy with my suggestions, so I've created a fix for you. Do this

[greg@apus ~]$ rpm -qa | grep -i synaptics
x11-driver-input-synaptics-0.15.2-1mdv2009.0
gsynaptics-0.9.14-3.1mdv2009.0

remove everything that isn't on that list, and install only what I have. Make sure your xorg.conf is not modified with your edits. Reboot the system, and in a terminal (as user) do

gsynaptics

uncheck the 'Enable Tapping' button. Now you have no touchpad tapping input at all. If you like this you could add it to you menu with your menu editor, and turn it on or off at will.

Have you looked in /var/log/Xorg.0.log for any clues as to what is rewriting xorg.conf?

The only way that I can reproduce your problem is to open Kmail > Settings > Configure Filters > Classify as Spam > Filter Actions > Mark As > and leave the drop down box on the right empty. Have you checked that this box is set to 'Spam'? The same would go for > Classify as Not Spam > set this box to 'Ham'.
