  1. yeh i know, i was a bit stupid and didnt try resting the computer (but to be fair to me when was the last time that changed much :)) wvdial works fine now, but i will ahve a word to that developer breaking my favourite dialer so isdn doesnt work
  2. actually i did, same problem. its getting quite annoying. i tried changing the dial command but that didnt work, the only thing that changed was if i left the command blank i would get a message saying voice line or something.
  3. ive been using an ISDN internet connection for quite some time now but due to a change in how you specify a device in gnome-ppp, (it has to detect it, wish it would look in the right places though) ive resorted to trying to get wvdial to work manually. ive checked wvdial.conf and everything is in order i think. my MSN gets sent, and then the dial command is run, but then i get the error "No Dialtone". this wouldnt seem so weird if i had yanked the cable out and torn it up... but i havent. ive also tried the mandrake way of doing things through the control center, but as always with 10.0 this has never worked. can anyone help. ideally a sample wvdial.conf for isdn would be nice, as i cant post mine as its on a different computer with no working way of getting the information aside from sitting there and writeing the whole thing o0ut by hand...
  4. cool i had to download perl and perl base but i found those easy enough and, post installation drak tools were working again :) thanks
  5. yeh i always get those comments with cooker,and i try not to. its just a bit more fun when things go wrong :) anyway i tried doing updatedb and its still not working, would it help to reinstall perl from source seeing as the error messages im getting seem to be perl related??
  6. yesterday i tried to launch drakconf but nothing happened, so i tried rpmdrake, nothing happened. i tried from a terminal and got hte following message "Segmentation fault (core dumped)". so i tried to install some software using urpmi and hte command line and got THIS message Can't locate URPM.pm in @INC (@INC contains: /usr/lib/perl5/5.8.6/i386-linux /usr/lib/perl5/5.8.6 /usr/lib/perl5/site_perl/5.8.6/i386-linux /usr/lib/perl5/site_perl/5.8.6 /usr/lib/perl5/site_perl /usr/lib/perl5/vendor_perl/5.8.6/i386-linux /usr/lib/perl5/vendor_perl/5.8.6 /usr/lib/perl5/vendor_perl/5.8.5 /usr/lib/perl5/vendor_perl/5.8.4 /usr/lib/perl5/vendor_perl/5.8.3 /usr/lib/perl5/vendor_perl/5.8.2 /usr/lib/perl5/vendor_perl/5.8.1 /usr/lib/perl5/vendor_perl .) at /usr/lib/perl5/vendor_perl/5.8.3/urpm.pm line 13.

BEGIN failed--compilation aborted at /usr/sbin/urpmi line 23. now the only thing i changed before it all stopped working was that i installed mono from a cooker repository. im guessing this somehow changed, deleted some perl things but i wouldnt know where to start with fixing that. has anyone got any ideas??
  7. sounds hopeful, i was actually looking at just getting a BT kit which comes with one of their cards...but from past experience im suspicous its actually just a different card with BT plastered all over it like my ISDN card. ill look into it a little further. oh and does anyone know if mandrake control center can setp up wireless networking or do i have to do it manually??
  8. hhmmmm i dont know if you missunderstood, i dont need a howto, just a product suggestion. basiclaly it would be nice if someone could suggest a card that they have (used) that they know works. and we will be getting a wireless router which should set up the network dhcp etc...wont it, ie the BT voyager router thing (sorry i dont remember names)
  9. next month we FINALLY get broadband where i live and are thinking about getting it set up so its wireless. i guess it doesnt reall matter about the router as i guess any old wireless router will work (or will it??) more so the network car really, i have a PC on mandrake cooker and was wondering if anyone could suggest a cheap wireless network card that would be compatible with mandrake. ....i say cheap, i wouldnt worry about that, just in relation to other wireless network cards i guess Moved from Hardware by Darkelve
  10. man someone knew, and its just me and my m8s on a GREAT day out. anywayim pleased with the OS im not complaining about the OS, im asking a question about GDM becuase i thought someone here might be able to help., which you have, thanks.
  11. well im using GDM supplied with garnome (which is jsut gnome 2.8.0 btw) so i wouldnt of thought that would work as garnome resides within my home directory, but correct me if im wrong becuase it would be nice to have a computer that works alright for once.
  12. im either blind or trying to do something that apparently i dont need to. but how do you add window managers to the session list thing in GDM. i want to add an option for garnome
  13. i recently compiled garnome to use as my default desktop as i could not find any credible gnome 2.8 rpms. and i was wondering how i can set it so that i used GDM from garnome instead of the standard KDM or GDM that comes in the rpms. ie set a config file to use gdm instead of kdm,xdm etc. can anyone help??
  14. wow thats awesome. should be ok to install them (fingers crossed) . thanks for the help bruce
  15. yeh thats the kind of thing im looking for, although...something a little more function might be better, and im not sure how similar syntax as, although ive only played for about a minute because i have college now. has anyone else got any suggestions? if not ill just have to make do but...
