thanks a lot daniewicz, that solves it... :P

how can I remove the word menu on the kde start menu... i know that this could be remove if I'll upgrade to kde 3.4 but I want the default KDE of LE 2005... is it possible to remove it?..

see attached..

I have installed gyach on my 10.1 and here's the result... I can view yahoo webcam but since I dont have my webcam, I have'nt tried the feature

try to do a command "update-menus -v"

as root then as user

I think, you are selecting the wizard mode of creating new accounts... If you have your local ISP, try to do the manual setup instead.....

DragonMage-- the mirror is a good idea but it will require me lots of storage needs which I dont have yet enough resources...

maybe i'll try the --noclean way...

and thanks for the replies :P

are you using KDE, if so.. maybe you should try to configure it via kcontrol or open system--configuration--configure desktop--peripherals--printer, then click administration mode and enter root password

try to chown that file to mtuma

until now, I still dont get it, on how to do it right, I already installed park-rpmdrake but when I issued that command, it will just let me scan the network for those PC that I supposed to do a parallel urpmi... I tried google about urpmi --parallel but no detailed info, is it possible to do it behind a squid cache, so that all of the updated package will be cache and the next machine will be easy to update....?

I can mount hda1 but I can't surf in it. I cant get in any folder or inside the files.

you mean, you able to see those folders.. and since you'd said you cant surf, you can't access it as regular user via browser, have you tried accessing it as root via cli?

just downloaded and install nerolinux and it solves my problem mentioned here (should have done this sometime ago)... though I have k3b 0.12.2 installed, but still failed to continue session but with nerolinux it was able to detect the previous session.... and the good thing here.. after doing a new session from nerolinux on that same CDR, k3b can now also continue another session...

I think the easiest way is via GUI, open the Mandriva Control Center --> MountPoints --> Partitions,... there you'll be able to see the installed HD and particular partitions. mounted and not yet mounted... then mount the drive from there...

I have'nt tried to install it coz just browsing it awhile ago upon reading on this post but look it HERE, 1.31 version of compiled scribus for mandriva...

make sure that the umask is equal to 0.. see below... so try to edit your fstab as root

#vi /etc/fstab

or you can also do it via mcc - mountpoint - partition, then click the toggle expert mode ? then options.. there you can change that option

/dev/hda1 /mnt/fatdrive vfat umask=0,codepage=850,iocharset=iso8859-1 0 0

mcc doesn't  show sound card at all.

it's an ISA  sound.  I don't even think it's PNP.  In

sndconfg I can get sound if i pick the sound card.

but sndconfg  can't find it on it's own.

 

another thing is alsa is set to start at boot. But it stops.

in services, i try to start it. It says alsa driver not running.

As far as i know i don't have it or it's not installed.

i don't know how to do that.

I am a complete idiot when it comes to linux.

this is my first time with it.

<{POST_SNAPBACK}>

try installing alsa-utils then run the alsaconf command, the util should try detecting your ISA card...

hey every one i am having the same problem i have yamaha opl3sa2 sound card and i have just installed mandriva linux i have tried every thing like using alsaconf sndconfig and modprobe and also inserted modules in module.conf and modprobe.conf but when i do this it says cannot open mixer .....

I have an older ISA snd card also, though its not yamaha snd card, when installed with mandk10.1 / 2.6 kernel, it won't work, so I tried the 2.4 kernel of mdk 10.1 and the sounds works...

that might be because the hdlist of your source were outdated..

at commandline then as root, try to #urpmi.update -a -v and it will update your sources and hdlist... then after, you can just #urpmi --auto-select -v and it will update all packages that needs to be updated.

or you can do it on a single command:

#urpmi.update -a -v && urpmi --auto-select -v

:P

those hdlist resides at /var/lib/urpmi.. try to #ls /var/lib/urpmi and you'll see those files there.. that is, if the reinstallation you made did'nt delete those you've downloaded already...

and here's my urpmi.cfg located at /etc/urpmi/

you might try to copy that and paste into your /etc/urpmi/urpmi.cfg since my box is also Mdk 10.1, well I dont know if that will work, have'nt tried it yet, but just give it a try...

gyach enhanced have this ym-webcam capability though I have'nt tried it personnaly but here's a link on some screenshots

try to rename the .kde folder in your /home/user/ when on failsafe, then reboot, it might be that LE2005 does not recognize the settings of your old mandy.

below is my partition hda7 formatted as fat32, here is th entry of my fstab, you can manually edit your fstab though....

vfat = fat32 filesystem

umask = 0 - means that it is writable by ordinary users, if its 22, it is readable only

or you can also go to MCC, mountpoints, partition, select the partition you wish to mount, click the labes toggle expert mode, then options.. there you can set umask from 22 to 0 (zero) and other parameters....

/dev/hda7 /mnt/windows vfat umask=0,iocharset=iso8859-1,codepage=850 0 0

as I understand, myhostname refers to your linux box hostname or a fully qualified domain name, if not, just localhost, try to install postfix, installing it does not mean that you have installed a mail server, its just an MTA or mail tranport agent, just make it listen to localhost so it wont accept connection from outside since your intention is to just be able to do outgoing mail from a command line.

ok, I have 7 pc to be installed with Mandriva, the package to be install would be almost identical to each box, how should I be going to do an update that would reflect to all would be mandriva box?

something like updating only on one box, but all will be affected, or something like caching the updated package so that I could re-used that to the other box with-out doing or downloading again thus package to be able to conserve bandwidth....

I've read of something like this here before, I just forgot the term being used.

TIA

#rpm -ivh /path/to/package.rpm

I am able to dial into the internet and says that it connects

you mean you actually able to connect? have you tried to #ifconfig after it connects just to check if ppp0 exist and has been assigned with an IP from your ISP.

make sure that you have check the md5sum of the third CD, before burning.

I have downloaded the CD3 ISO and wrote it to disk, but am unsure as how to install it.

the third CD contains rpm packages..... if you manage to boot to linux, and install additional packages, the Package manager will prompt you to insert the needed CD. If it happens that the package you install resides at the third CD, it will prompt you to insert the third CD.

BTW, welcome!
