Thanks Jim.

Thanks Jim. Can I do bridged networking with the mdv rpm version, or should I get a version of virtualbox from Sun's site ?

Hi I have been using VMWare and Connectix for about 4 years now. I decided to give Virtualbox a try. I have a virtual Windows 2000 machine running. The networking does not work though. The network card is active in the virtual machine. I have disabled the firewall and added the virtual machine to /etc/hosts in the host machine but I can still not access the virtual machine from another computer. What do I need to do ? Is this supported ? [moved from Software by spinynorman]

Hi I am running Mdv 2008. I have svnserve running and port 3690 tcp & udp open. Mdv seems to prerfer repo's in /var/lib/svn/repositories. I create a repo as myself: svnadmin create /var/lib/svn/repositories/myrepo1 I edit the /var/lib/svn/repositories/myrepo1/conf/authz, passwd and svnserve.conf and add myself as a rw user. Then, I want to set up branch, tag, trunk directories in the repo. I have a dir called trunk in ~/ I use: svn import trunk/ svn://192.168.0.4/myrepo1 -m "create trunk dir" I get: Authentication realm: <svn://192.168.0.4:3690> My First Repository Password for 'walter': I enter my password, which I configured in the conf/passwd file. I get: svn: Authorization failed Any ideas anyone ?

Nope. I installed and selected another theme, changed the background and disabled kdm theming - no difference with any of those. It's as if X is running, but displaying nothing. Sometimes I can hear the login sound but the display stays blank <sigh>. VNC server also doesn't work - probably due to the same, I get a "111 - Connection refused". On the same machine with Fedora and openSUSE, the display flickers very badly - at least with Mandriva one user can work.

Hi I'm running 2008 on a box with a 845i. It was installed from the KDE-Live iso. As long as I have auto-login on, the display works fine. If however, I log out, the screen blanks and the login screen never appears. Even on traversing the different tty's (Ctrl+Alt+F1 - F8), it stays blank, and I have to reboot. If auto-login is set off, I can log in as a user, but the same happens on logout. Any clues ? Thanks in advance Walter Kruse

Thanks guys I returned the RAM and was refunded. I am now in the market for a 128MB chip ;-)

I bought it because this type of RAM is very hard to get hold of - 133 pin SDRAM. I would have preferred 128MB, but 256 was all I could get. Well, Harddrake is also showing oddities then. Are you telling me that despite the fact that Harddrake sees the RAM, there's no way to get it to work ? Thanks anyway. Walter Kruse

Hi guys I have a problem that's driving me nuts... Running 2007 on a Compaq Presario 1600S. The laptop has 64M of RAM on-board and I just inserted a 256MB expansion chip. BIOS: System memory: 640 KB Extended memory: 326656 KB Windows: 320.0 MB the output from free: total 61132 KInfoCentre: Total physical: 62,599,168,bytes Harddrake: Socket 0: Installed size 64MB (Single-bank connection) Enabled size 64MB (Single-bank connection) Socket 1: Installed size 256MB (Single-bank connection) Enabled size 256MB (Single-bank connection) How do I get the kernel to see and use the extra 256MB ? I have tried the following in lilo.conf: append="mem=320M" append="mem=319M" append="mem-exactmap mem=640K@0 mem=319M@1M" append="mem=320@16M" and a few combinations thereof. What am I doing wrong ?

Thanks a lot for the howto. I tried this last night and the rpm's failed to install. I have previously updated from the *-5 kernel on the install DVD to the *-6 kernel rpm. When I selected the rpm's specified above fo install, a package kernel-tmb-source was selected. This was a package for a *-13 kernel it seems. Then, when the installation failed, I looked for a kernel-tmb-source*-6 package, which I couldnt find. I then looked if I could upgrade to a corresponding *-13 kernel, but there was none. Am I approaching this incorrectly ?

Thanks for your replies. I take it there's no setting to be changed for ppp0 then ? Like in dsl-provider ?

Hi I am using iburst via pppoe and eth0 I need to set the MTU to 1352 for best results (http://www.linux.org.za/Lists-Archives/glu...3/msg00278.html) Do I set eth0 and ppp0 to MTU 1352, and how do I do this (which files do I edit) ? Thanks in advance

I too get exactly the same on Mdv 2006. Anyone ?

I had exactly the same with 'mozilla-firefox-1.0.4-1.101mcnl.i586.rpm' and could'nt resolve it. I, eventually reverted to firefox 1.0.

I tested setting the "Assign the default route to this gateway" on in the Gateway tab in the account edit dialog. Didn't work. I also tried the "Disable existing DNS servers during connection" setting in the DNS tab. Also didn't work. I then setup kppp to execute "sudo ifdown eth0" before connecting, and "sudo ifup eth0" after disconnect in the Execute tab. This worked. Of course, I had to add myself to sudoers. Hmmm, not optimum. I hate it when these things are not tested. I suppose all the dev's / testers have permanent connections and don't have to use dialup. Will try the /etc/sysconfig/network option next.

arctic, there must be a way to route the network through ppp0 automatically as soon as dialed up. Worked well enough with other distro's. I will try the Gateway tab in the kppp setup tonight and let you know if it does the trick. Otherwise, with kppp you can set commands to execute before dialup and after hangup: sudo ifdown eth0 and sudo ifup eth0 upon disconnect.

I seem to have a similar problem. My eth0 is started up at boot, and dialing up with kppp (which starts ppp0) connects me, but I can't see any pages/get mail etc. I have to manually stop eth0 before dialing, then it works fine. Is there a workaround / fix for this ? I had the same problem with Peanut Linux.
