  1. Oh awesome! Thank you so much! I can tell I need to go through all the tools they give you in mandriva. Hahaha, thanks again! ~Dee
  2. that didn't do anything... Is that supposed to disable the autorun of dvd insert programs for kde? It doesn't seem to accept any arguements or anything. What about disabling display of the mouse cursor? Is there a way to do that?
  3. I have a box I put Mandriva LE 2005 on and use it as a mythtv box. The thing is, it pops out of mythtv every time a cd/dvd is inserted and asks a bunch of questions. Is there any way to suppress all feedback from the system in order to just have myth running and not worry about anything else? Is that messing with the supermount options or...??
  4. It was in the etc/sysconfig/network file that you mentioned. Something set the hostname to 192.168.1.1. What's strange is that there is nowhere in my setup (even the DHCP settings) where it would get that. That's the IP of my wireless router. It's not for use by normal machines. DHCP is only from 100-150, so it wouldn't get it from there. I fixed that now and it seems to work "ok." But there are still many programs that insist the IP for this machine is 192.168.1.1. Thanks for your help! That tells me where to start looking and what to look for! Thanks again! ~Dee
  5. ok, cool. If this is the case, then I should be able to set it right? I set it in my wlan settings, but every time I boot it is still set to 192.168.1.1 and my IP shows up as that as well for some reason. On wlan0 it's fine, but for programs that use my IP for authentication (my school uses several), this is wrong....what file do I edit to set the hostname and all that so it will reflect my pc more? ~Dee
  6. Ahaha, I wasn't used to having shorwall on. It was rejecting all data sent/recieved through wlan0. That was the problem. For future reference, though, will chaning my hostname be a good thing or bad? If I change it to what I want my pc to be named on the network, will it affect my overall ability to use the internet or just how others on the network see me? Thanks for the help! ~Dee
  7. Looks like that's what I need to look for! Thanks! ~Dee
  8. I have an Audigy 2 EX HD 24-bit. It's in kmix in the third tab (switches). it's the 4th switch from the right in small type. It was sideways on my kmix in an awkward position, so I didn't think much of it at first. Thanks for the help! ~Dee
  9. I tried what you said and it brought up the interface but, still gives me the error mentioned on the post above... I installed the driver several times and trying out the different drivers on the disc. It brings up the interface every time, but nothing else. :'( I can't even ping the router. My Hostname is set to 192.168.1.1 at boot every time. Could that be part of the problem? Where can I change what that is set to at boot?
  10. I mucked around with it like you said and it turns out the problem with it not finding the module is that I use an smp kernel and it was loading one not built for smp and failing. I rebuilt it and now the module loads and even brings up the wlan interface. It tells me I'm connected but I can't send/recieve data. I can't get on the internet or anything! When I do an iwconfig, it tells me this: Warning: Driver for device wlan0 recommend version 18 of Wireless Extension, but has been compiled with version 17, therefore some driver features may not be available... I'm sure that helps someone, but I have no idea what that means....I mean, I downloaded the latest drivers from the linksys web site, and when I built ndiswrapper, it was using the latest release. I can't for the life of me figure out what I did wrong with it or how to fix that. I tried reloading the module with different drivers (the cd came with 2 of them) and then I tried reloading it with a different device name and everything I could think of, but no luck....any ideas?
  11. Hahaha, I feel so stupid now! I did what you said but it still wasn't working, so I dug around in the mixer settings to see what the problem was: My card requires that all sound output be sent in a digital signal, not analog. As it turns out, there was a tick box buried in there that switched it from analog to digital! Hahaha, So, after doing that, the sound coming from Mandrake sounds better than before and much better than windows with the official creative drivers! Thanks so much! ~Dee
  12. I'm still fairly new to much of this, but I am making a digital media box and I want to allow people to put a removable device such as a flash card or digital camera or hard drive on the system and have it copy over images/video files when they insert them. I can make the script no problem, but...how do I get it to run when a removable device is inserted? Is there a simple way to do this? ~Dee
  13. If I am in Windows, the audio works fine. It's an expensive system that I got not more than a year ago from Altec Lansing, so I know it still works. It works just fine when I am in 10.1 as well. It's just LE 2005 that has a problem with it and I will find where the problem is eventually or wait until the next mandrake release and hope it's fixed, haha. I'll try doing an upgrade instead of a clean install and see if that makes a difference. Thanks for the pointers, though. It helps to have someone who knows the ins and outs of mandrake telling me where to look. :) ~Dee
  14. It is both, really. No matter what I run or do I can't listen to any audio file and no system events ever play. I'm completely baffled as to why, also. There is no reason it should be doing this, but it is. What would you suggest? Reinstalling alsa? Installing 10.1 and doing an "upgrade" install rather than a regular format-reinstall?
  15. Ok, there are two things I can show you. My modprobe.conf file and a screenshot showing the mixers and sound things. I did exactly as you said and it's all setup correctly. Here's my modprobe.conf file: # This file is autogenerated from /etc/modules.conf using generate-modprobe.conf command alias eth0 e1000 remove snd-emu10k1 /sbin/modprobe -r snd-pcm-oss; /sbin/modprobe --first-time -r --ignore-remove snd-emu10k1 install snd-emu10k1 /sbin/modprobe --first-time --ignore-install snd-emu10k1 && { /sbin/modprobe snd-pcm-oss; /bin/true; } alias eth2 eth1394 install usb-interface /sbin/modprobe uhci-hcd; /sbin/modprobe ehci-hcd; /bin/true alias eth1 eth1394 alias ieee1394-controller ohci1394 alias wlan0 ndiswrapper install ndiswrapper /sbin/modprobe --ignore-install ndiswrapper && { loadndisdriver 14e4 4320 /etc/ndiswrapper/bcmwl5.sys /etc/ndiswrapper/wmp54gs/wmp54gs.inf; } # --- BEGIN: Generated by ALSACONF, do not edit. --- # --- ALSACONF verion 1.0.8 --- alias sound-slot-0 snd-emu10k1 # --- END: Generated by ALSACONF, do not edit. --- remove audigy /sbin/modprobe --first-time -r --ignore-remove audigy install audigy /sbin/modprobe --first-time --ignore-install audigy and here is a shot of the screen showing all the settings: http://studentpages.scad.edu/~dehipp20/screenshot.png
  16. ok, here's exactly what I did: [root@192 dee]# lspci | grep Network 03:01.0 Network controller: Broadcom Corporation BCM4306 802.11b/g Wireless LANController (rev 03) [root@192 dee]# lspci -n | grep 03:01.0 03:01.0 Class 0280: 14e4:4320 (rev 03) My modprobe.conf file: # This file is autogenerated from /etc/modules.conf using generate-modprobe.conf command alias eth0 e1000 remove snd-emu10k1 /sbin/modprobe -r snd-pcm-oss; /sbin/modprobe --first-time -r --ignore-remove snd-emu10k1 install snd-emu10k1 /sbin/modprobe --first-time --ignore-install snd-emu10k1 && { /sbin/modprobe snd-pcm-oss; /bin/true; } alias eth2 eth1394 install usb-interface /sbin/modprobe uhci-hcd; /sbin/modprobe ehci-hcd; /bin/true alias eth1 eth1394 alias ieee1394-controller ohci1394 alias wlan0 ndiswrapper install ndiswrapper /sbin/modprobe --ignore-install ndiswrapper && { loadndisdriver 14e4 4320 /etc/ndiswrapper/bcmwl5.sys /etc/ndiswrapper/wmp54gs/wmp54gs.inf; } # --- BEGIN: Generated by ALSACONF, do not edit. --- # --- ALSACONF verion 1.0.8 --- alias sound-slot-0 snd-emu10k1 # --- END: Generated by ALSACONF, do not edit. --- remove audigy /sbin/modprobe --first-time -r --ignore-remove audigy install audigy /sbin/modprobe --first-time --ignore-install audigy I added the correct settings for ndiswrapper to it and entered to load ndiswrapper, but got this error: [root@192 dee]# modprobe ndiswrapper FATAL: Module ndiswrapper not found. FATAL: Error running install command for ndiswrapper Yet, I can enter ndiswrapper -l and it will tell me that the hardware is found and the software is present, so I don't understand...is the module different from the program? If so, how do I get the module to work? It never even puts wireless extensions on wlan0, eth0 or any other, yet KDE sees wlan0. When I do ifconfig and iwconfig, it's not there and isn't recognized when I do anything with it.
  17. that helps but it says there is not an ndiswrapper module when I try to modprobe. maybe it's just that it's already loaded. I know it's there, I can give it commands, yet there's no wlan0 or any wireless to speak of... It's baffling.
  18. Yes, I ran alsaconf and that installed flawlessly yet no sound. I changed alsa to run at runlevel 3 as is required (it wasn't set at a runlevel at all), still no sound. I hit the test buttons and tried every sound program I know of to test if the different players were working. It wouldn't bother me to not have any events as long as I can play my oggs. Everything appears to be setup and working yet somewhere it stops. Doesn't seem to be in the configuration yet I checked the playback in windows and it works fine. Should I just try to reinstall? That seems like a big hassle when it should work out of the box....I did buy the version specifically for the extra support of different cards yet now there are more problems than before. I am very impressed with the speed improvements, though. It's like lightning!
  19. Ok, I can go in as root, do a ndiswrapper -l and see that my hardware and driver are both present. Now, when I boot, it says "ndiswrapper device wlan0 not present, delaying install." I go in and do an ifconfig and iwconfig. No wireless anywhere. I try to modprobe ndiswrapper to see if that's the problem. Nope. It says that there is no module named ndiswrapper. What's going on? Is there something I can do to manually force it to start up wireless on another interface or something? I can't use wired in here, so maybe if it took over eth0 or something? I can't for the life of me figure out what is wrong... It worked fine with installing ndiswrapper in 10.1 so I know it works... I have a linksys pci card with speedbooster but I can use the normal non-speedbooster drivers in linux to make it run just fine...yet...there is no interface? ~Dee
  20. My sound worked out of the box in 10.1. In 10.0 I had to install the driver manually. I didn't expect it to step backward, but maybe I'm doing something wrong? It seems like all the tools are working correctly, alsactl, alsaconf, and kmix, yet I have no sound. I checked the volumes and they are fine. It recognizes every little detail about my card. All the inputs and outputs are there, but there's no sound. The volumes are all up. I even tried adding it to the modprobe and it loads perfectly, but no sound. What on earth could be the problem? Any help is much appreciated! ~Dee
  21. Thanks! That worked well, but now every time I start amaroK I get this: bash-2.05b$ amarok amaroK: [Loader] Starting amarokapp.. amaroK: [Loader] Don't run gdb, valgrind, etc. against this binary! Use amarokapp. QLayout: Adding KToolBar/playlist_toolbar (child of QVBox/unnamed) to layout for PlaylistWindow/PlaylistWindow QMetaObject::findSignal:CollectionView: Conflict with QListView::doubleClicked(QListViewItem*,const QPoint&,int) amarokapp: symbol lookup error: amarokapp: undefined symbol: _ZN13KListViewItem10insertItemEP13QListViewItem Just when I fix one thing another pops up! It's so strange! The rest of the OS (especially Kaffeine) runs incredibly well this time around, though. Much nicer than before!
  22. Yet root can run konqueror just fine...this makes no sense....I made new users, but the same problem. The only user able to run konqueror seems to be root.
  23. I use the update manager and downloaded all the updates, but I still can't run konqueror....I have no clue what's going on. I mean, it worked before, but not now... I did nothing differently. I use 10.1. Any idea what it could be?
  24. I have been using mandrake for a while, but I reinstalled recently and now every single time I install, konqueror won't run....every time I try to run it in a shell, I get this error: DCOPReply<>: cast to 'QCString' error Does anyone know what I'm doing wrong? I can't stand being stuck in windows, but if I don't want to have to use a console to do EVERYTHING...
