It's still not working. I looked through the mandriva init.d scripts and couldn't find anything which would do that. localhost ~]$ ls /etc/init.d/ abrtd* ip6tables* network-auth* resolvconf* acpid* iptables* networkmanager* rpcbind* alsa* killall* network-up* rsyslog* apmd* lm_sensors* nfs-common* shorewall* atd* lvm2-monitor* nfs-server* single* avahi-daemon* mandi* ntpd* smb* checkflashboot* mandrake_everytime* oki4daemon* sound* cpufreq* mandrake_firstime* openl2tpd* sshd* crond* mdadm* openvpn* udev-post* cups* messagebus* partmon* upsd* dm* mtinkd* plexmediaserver* upsmon* functions mysqld* portreserve* vboxadd-timesync* haldaemon* mythbackend* pppoe* vnstat* halt* netconsole* pptp* wlan* hddtemp* netfs* preload* xl2tpd* httpd* network* reboot@

Or not....I tried that out. I searched for dm. I found the thing that launches the window manager and disabled it. It didn't change anything! This is crazy and stupid! Who would've thought it would ever be so difficult to disable the gui in linux?

Thanks! I saw that mandriva is probably going to be closing soon. What version of linux does everyone recommend instead? What's close?

I want to just have bash show up when I start my machine, but it's not working. I have tried changing the inittab from 5 to 3. I selected "I do not want to automatically start X on boot" when configuring the graphics/display drivers and boot options. I also tried adding on the boot option "text" (sans quotes). Every time, kdm loads by default. What's going on? Is there some new/other option I should know about? I'm trying to get it to boot, auto loginto a shell, and then load a few programs that run in the background of my server box since using the graphical interface is way more than I need on this system right now. I still want it for if I decide to do something, but I don't want to use it. Help? Thank you!

I installed XBMC. It has several problems. The biggest is that after every video finishes playing, it hangs up and makes me kill the program, go to the desktop, and relaunch. It says it's looking for this file: /usr/lib64/va/drivers/fglrx_drv_video.so but that file doesn't exist anywhere on the system. In fact, va/drivers doesn't exist. All the fglrx files are in /usr/lib64/fglrx. None of the files are named fglrx_drv_video.so. They're named: libAMDXvBA.cap* libaticalcl.so* libatiuki.so.1.0* libGL.so.1@ xorg/ libAMDXvBA.so.1@ libaticaldd.so* libfglrx_dm.so.1.0* libGL.so.1.2* libAMDXvBA.so.1.0* libaticalrt.so* libfglrx_gamma.so.1@ libXvBAW.so.1@ libatiadlxx.so* libatiuki.so.1@ libfglrx_gamma.so.1.0* libXvBAW.so.1.0* Does anyone know what to do to make it not lock up? Thank you! [moved from Software by spinynorman]

Hello! I wonder if anyone else here has the same problem I do and what you did to solve it... I have 2 Silicondust HDTV tuners to pick up digital cable signals and mythtv on linux and mac as the backend setup. They're wonderful! But....the cable company out in the area I just moved to only sends analog through their coax cables. I'm stuck with nothing I can use. I can't justify getting ANOTHER tuner card and rendering these two dual tuner network cards useless...it just seems like a big waste. Is anyone else running into this problem? I spent forever on the phone with the cable company who said I needed to find something that could convert analog cable to digital. I haven't found anything even remotely close to that. Has anyone else done this? How did you manage? Is there a box somewhere I can buy that will convert them pass the 2 existing digital channels through? I don't mind if it remaps them or something. I just want to be able to use my tuners. Or is there some way to get the silicondust tuners to pick up analog as well as digital? I've been scouring the internet for something that could do this with no luck... Any help is appreciated!

Yes, that's perfect! Thank you!

Hello! This is a little off topic since it is video related but not exactly mandriva only. I'm hoping someone here knows how to grab a frame size from an mpg video file. I'm writing a tcl script (It's the first language I learned and the one I'm most comfortable with) to try and simplify my life. I run mythtv, but mythtranscode doesn't work for my setup with the output I need. I run myth on my mandriva pc and my mac and need to rescale everything to 720p video if it is HD or leave it as is if it is SD and transcode to h264 for streaming to my other computers and TV. I have several shortcuts already to check for commercials, transcode if it is 720p video, or transcode if it is 1080i, but I don't know how to query whether the video is large and interlaced or not. Does anyone know a command I can run which will give me back the frame size? Something simple? Is there a command built-into tcl that I don't know about or some command-line utility to dump the size? I'm using ffmpeg for transcoding now. I can get it if I run ffmpeg -i infile.mpg but that gives me many many lines of data and is difficult to work with and doesn't always output the same. There's got to be a simpler way to get the file statistics... Does anyone know? Any help would be appreciated! Thank you!

Hello! I was wondering if anyone knew what would cause software to just hang in the background? I know it works because I've used it before in a previous version of mandriva....but when I try to use it in 2008.1, it doesn't load. I'm talking about Side Effects Software's Houdini. If you don't know it, it's a 3d app used in the visual effects industry mostly for complext particle and shading effects. They have a demo "apprentice" version you can use for free. I'm trying to get 9.0 to work as I have a license for 9.0 that allows me to render in HD. Right now I am using windows but that version is buggy and crashes all the time (mostly due to windows itself not handling memory well). I want to swap to the linux version but I can't even load it. I install it as normal, then I cd to /opt/hfs9.0.794 and then source houdini_setup_bash and type hkey. hkey is what you use to get a trial license from sesi. I have the sesinetd license administrator running and responding fine. I have the programs all installed and functional, but it won't load. If I go to command-line interface for it, I can still use it.....but not well since I need to see what I'm doing. I tried running with and without compiz. I deleted all my preferences. I tried running as several different users. I ran it in kde 3.5.9 and 4.1. When I run hkey it will pop up a window that says "Connecting to license server" and then, after that window closes, it just sits there running in the background until I kill it. Never draws a window or anything. Does anyone have an idea of what the problem could be? I have glxgears running fine and that checs out, so I am at a loss for what it could be. The people on odforce are going through what they know of but I thought there might be a small chance that someone on these forums would know what the issue with it could be. Anyone? Thanks in advance!

I am running mandriva 2007.1 and I have a network drive that I want to use. Unfortunately, NFS will let files go to 40%, then lock up my system until the transfers complete. It is all mp3s and videos. If I try to stream the files, it playes for 3 seconds, locks for about 5, then plays another 3 seconds. After trying workarounds for this I decided to just go with samba. The transfers go fast and I can access everything. The problem is that I can't seem to mount the share with write access and I need that! If i browse to: smb://deemusicshare/Shared Files/ I enter my login/pass and everything works just fine. I can write that way but I can't stream music using amarok. If I use mcc to mount it and give users write access, users are not given write access! If I use smb4k to mount it, it crashes when I try. What's the problem? What am I doing wrong? ~Dee

I know it's not released yet, but there are many devices that claim to be 802.11n already out. They just have little disclaimers stating this is draft-n, or g+mimo or something. I was just asking because that's what the devices stated. So there is support for them? Where do I go to find this or to find which ones work? When I do a google search for wireless-n linux it only returns forum posts where people complain about it not working. I have a linksys and 2 belkin cards. The linksys is a wireless-gx4 card (the mimo card) and the belkins are both pre-n and draft-n. I'm just wondering if there's hope for using them with linux.

I have seen absolutely nothing on wireless-n. I tried to adopt it early on, but couldn't since ndiswrapper didn't work. driverloader started to, but died shortly after. NDISwrapper now is able to see networks and associate, but not send or recieve anything. Anyone else have different luck with it? What were your setups? I thought it would be adopted much faster considering linksys uses linux-based routers and (I think I read that) they release their source to the linux community as well, don't they? Just thought I'd ask and see what you all can tell me about it.

:( I'll wait for an update or something. I can edit the text file. I did an rpm search on pbone.net and I couldn't find a version of python-base 2.4 or python2.4 to download. Everything is 2.5 now it seems. I don't have 2.4 installed. Only 2.5. I'll just wait until something new is up I think. Thanks for your help! ~Dee
