Hello: Every now and then, even when not playing any sound, I get this message from KDE in a dialog box: "Soundserver failed. CPU Overload. Aborting" If I'm playing amaroK, it will stop playing and I'd have to restart it. But once this error occurs, it will become more frequent every time. As in if the first I was able to play, say 12 songs, and then the error occured, when I restart amaroK, the error will occur again after maybe 4 songs, then 2 songs... I have MDV LE 2005, KDE 3.3. CPU is P4 3.2GHz and ALSA is using atiixp Has anybody encountered this problem? Or does anyone have any insight on how to resolve this? Thanks in advance.

Hi, I just installed MDK 10.1 Community on an HP Pavilion zx5000 notebook which has a Broadcom 94306 wireless. I installed ndiswrapper included in the distro, which installed fine. And the I installed the Windows driver using ndiswrapper which was also successful. So now I have: [root@kochanski]# ndiswrapper -l Installed ndis drivers: bcmwl5 hardware present Now, the next step according to the ndiswrapper site is to modprobe ndiswrapper, but the module can't be found! [root@kochanski]# modprobe ndiswrapper FATAL: Module ndiswrapper not found. I don't know what to do from here. Can anybody help? MadKAT

Hi Mondo, My kernel is the one that came default with MDK 10, which is kernel-2.6.3.7mdk-1-1mdk. I'm not getting the same error message as you but, it appears it may be related. My apache version is 2.0.48. Thanks

Hello. I'm thinking about getting a Toshiba Satellite A75-S226 notebook and installing Mandrake on it. My only concern is the DVD SuperMulti Drive. Would Mandrake be able to use all its functions (i.e., as CD, CD-R, DVD, DVD-+R) ? Does anyone here have the same or similar hardware? I've looked through the linux-laptop sites and I couldn't find information about getting functions for multidrives. I'd appreciate it if anyone has more info about this, and so I could make a more informed purchase. Thanks! [moved from Hardware by spinynorman]

Thank You, anon! You've been a great help! I did: [root@xilke root]# /etc/rc.d/init.d/httpd start Starting httpd2: [ OK ] [root@xilke root]# service httpd status Apache is *not* running. Use /etc/init.d/httpd extendedstatus for more information. So, as you suggested I looked at /var/log/httpd, and in the error log I found: Sun Aug 15 23:46:26 2004] [notice] suEXEC mechanism enabled (wrapper: /usr/sbin/apache2-suexec) [Sun Aug 15 23:46:27 2004] [notice] Digest: generating secret for digest authentication ... [Sun Aug 15 23:46:27 2004] [notice] Digest: done [Sun Aug 15 23:46:28 2004] [error] Cannot allocate shared memory: (17)File exists And so I googled for the error message, and learned that apache may have lefet some ssl lock files. Sure enough, there were several ssl-* files in/var/log/httpd. So I renamed these files and restarted apache. And it worked. I can access the site now. Thanks!!!

On fresh installed MDK 10, I have apache2 installed, and also webmin. MCC indicates that http is running. I can even stop and start it from there. But how come I cannot connect to it? Pointing the browser to http://127.0.0.1 yields the error: An error occurred while loading http://127.0.0.1: Could not connect to host 127.0.0.1 /var/www/html exists and are readable. However, doing https://127.0.0.1:10000 actually brings up webmin. It also works even if I substitute 127.0.0.1 with the IP address I get from DHCP. So why not localhost? Is there any configuration that I need to set-up? When I had MDK 9.2, it brings up the default page. Thanks in advance! [moved from Software by spinynorman]

Hi kenton! You just might be experiencing the same problem I did, wherein java is installed but it wouldn't run. See the thread "Java on MDK 10". Maybe you have the same situation that I had, and in that case maybe my notes would help. good luck!

Thanks for the reply scoopy! However, I was actually trying to run java apps from the command line rather than applets through the browser. Anyway, since you talked about links I decided to follow them, and here's what I found: /usr/bin: [root@xilke bin]# ls -l java* lrwxrwxrwx 1 root root 22 Aug 10 01:22 java -> /etc/alternatives/java* lrwxrwxrwx 1 root root 23 Aug 10 01:22 javac -> /etc/alternatives/javac* lrwxrwxrwx 1 root root 25 Aug 10 01:22 javadoc -> /etc/alternatives/javadoc* lrwxrwxrwx 1 root root 23 Aug 10 01:22 javah -> /etc/alternatives/javah* lrwxrwxrwx 1 root root 23 Aug 10 01:22 javap -> /etc/alternatives/javap* /etc/alternatives: [root@xilke alternatives]# ls -l java* lrwxrwxrwx 1 root root 30 Aug 10 01:22 java -> /usr/lib/jdk-1.4.2_05/bin/java* lrwxrwxrwx 1 root root 31 Aug 10 01:22 javac -> /usr/lib/jdk-1.4.2_05/bin/javac* lrwxrwxrwx 1 root root 33 Aug 10 01:22 javadoc -> /usr/lib/jdk-1.4.2_05/bin/javadoc* lrwxrwxrwx 1 root root 31 Aug 10 01:22 javah -> /usr/lib/jdk-1.4.2_05/bin/javah* lrwxrwxrwx 1 root root 31 Aug 10 01:22 javap -> /usr/lib/jdk-1.4.2_05/bin/javap* /usr/lib: [root@xilke lib]# ls -ld j* drwxr-xr-x 3 root root 120 Aug 10 00:16 jdk-1.4.2_04/ drwxr-xr-x 8 root root 400 Aug 13 21:22 jdk-1.4.2_05/ lrwxrwxrwx 1 root root 30 Aug 10 00:16 jre-1.4.2_04 -> ../../usr/lib/jdk-1.4.2_04/jre/ Now, here's the curious part: The java commands are effectively the ones in jdk-2.4.3_05, but in that directory, there is no jre! :o The other jdk on the other hand (jdk-2.4.2_04) only has a jre! So what i tried is to create symlink: jdk-1.4.2_05/jre->../jdk-1.4.2_04/jre. And with that java worked. Even in konqueror (strangely though, java worked in firefox even before I created that link). I don't really know why the configuration was like that but since this was a fresh install from the MDK 10.0 powerpack disks, I think this should be considered a bug (I don't know how to file one). Thanks! and I hope my experience may inform some who are encountering the same. :D [copy of preceding post removed by spinynorman - please use 'add reply' button]

Hi I just installed Mandrake 10.0 with both j2sk and j2re 1.4, but when i run java i get an error: Error: could not find libjava.so Error: could not find Java 2 Runtime Environment. libjava.so actually exists in /usr/lib/jdk-1.4.2_04/jre/lib/i386 but java could not find it. I've already tried adding it to LD_LIBRARY_PATH, but that didn't work. Anybody knows? Thanks

Hi, I have upgraded from Mandrake 9.2 (kernel 2.4.22) to 10.0 (kernel 2.6.3) on a Sony Vaio-GR370. Problem is, after the upgrade, the built-in memory stick is no longer detected, while as it was detected just fine on 9.2. External USB hard drive and CF reader are still detected just fine. On boot the memory stick light don't even light up anymore. Also, inserting/ejecting the mem stick does not generate a message in syslog (whereas the CF would). Any ideas on what could be the problem? Any help or pointing to the right direction is greatly appreciated. Also, a less bothersome quirk is that after system shutdown, the machine don't automatically turn off anymore (it did before the upgrade). Thanks in advance!
