# cat /etc/product.id
vendor=Mandriva,distribution=Mandriva Linux,type=Basic,version=2010.2,branch=Official,release=1,arch=i586,product=Free
From the above it would appear I have the problem being discussed in Bugzilla. Yet I am able to update my urpmi sources without any errors.
I am confused.

command not found
you probably needed to type a path as well
I installed the version 6.1 rpmFrom the repositories?
And 6.1 is working OK?

I was able to use keyfuzz in an alternate manner and now SYSRQ has been mapped to F13
echo "458856 99" | keyfuzz -s -d/dev/input/event4
:D

I have an Apple keyboard which does not have a SYSRQ key so that RSEIUB cannot be used to reboot a locked system. In the past with Mandriva 2010.0, I used keyfuzz 0.2 to map the F13 key to SYSRQ with:
### keyfuzz file for i-rocks apple keyboard
# map F13 to SYSRQ
458856 99
# map F14 to Scroll Lock
458857 70
# map F15 to Pause
458858 119
Well, my motherboard died recently and I found another and proceeded with a clean install of Mandriva 2010.1 using kernel 2.6.33.5-server-2mnb #1 SMP. Now keyfuzz no longer works for me and gives the following error:
EVIOCGKEYCODE: Invalid argument
I have never used a server kernel before. Could this be the problem?

I hope they are able to stay with the once per year release cycle. I think it would benefit everybody.

Are the updates really worth it?
Well if you decide not to install updates then you could be missing out on some security related fixes and that could be important.
On the other hand, I see your point. Any update has the potential to break something. Which repositories do you have enabled? Some of them are by their nature riskier than others.

Thanks B)

I don't have a direct answer to your question, but 3D desktop effects are linked to compositing.
I has similar quirkiness when using my NVidia card with KDE and Mandriva 2010.1. I disabled 3D desktop effects, compositing became disabled, and my problems went away. I guess KDE 4 is still not completely ready for prime time?

Try "switch to manual mirror selection" and try a different mirror.

2010.1 is listed here at this easy urpmi site:
-
If you are using KDE, the floppy should be visible along the left pane of the dolphin file manager.

Well we are glad you fixed your problem even if we couldn't help.

Thanks for the link John.

It is possible you have a hardware problem. Do you know how to test your RAM using memtest?
-
Do you know how to disable pulseaudio?

Thanks Greg

do you understand willie's response?

As Speedball2 says, to rip an audio CD to the mp3 format using K3b you need lame and liblame0 installed from the PLF.

I would wait for 2010.1 to get out of beta stage before installing.
