are you saying that you've got your sound working before but now, not anymore?, or you have a new mandrake install and since booting on it, though you 've installed flash but having it no sound, have you tried playing music if you can hear some sounds from it?... configuring your soundcard, if not yet.. try #alsaconf --------------------done inside your terminal window, as root

try to create a new share name of that drive in your windoze that does not contain those "( "

you mean fc2 is already installed on that disk, so it assumes that the kernel read that disk as hda, and now, what would you like to do? set that disk as the primary disk or make it as the secondary? of that disk that also contain XP and mandrake? well, when i've tried to dualboot an existing disk with other linux OS with Mandrake, though it initiated the boot process, meaning, the HD was detected, but since the orig install set the disk as hda, but when installed as dualboot, it became an hdb since I made it as secondary master, so it just coz a kernel panic. i think there,s a way how to do it properly, but i have not tried it.. just fyi

you should be able to access what ever workgroup it is, as long as you belong to the same network.. and no firewall are trying to prevent you from accessing the host on that workgroup, ... so dubb, you better check your mandy if built-in firewall has been enabled then... when trying to access mandy box from your xp, on the process, try to check your logs.. #tail -f /var/log/messages so you may able to watch why you're not able to access that box from xp, assuming, and as you've said, you can see MDKGROUP

as root try to edit #/etc/inittab if you can see the entry below # id:5:initdefault: # System initialization id:5 refers to GUI id:3 refers to console so if yours is 3, you may change it to 5 edit: assuming you've installed X and kde or gnome

if you want to access it thru console, just $su then enter your root password prompt now is# now, #cd /root ......its your root folder, and if you want to access it using konqueror assuming that you are using kde, just type #konqueror .......and you can now browse your root folder

well, since you're using hylafax, you can visit www.hylafax.org for more info.. ok, Im using hylafax also with the modem usr 56k external HOw did I start... i didnt use drak, maybe you can try this: 1. Just to check, make sure you've installed the hylafax-server, since there is a client package.. thereś an update package already found in hylafax.org... you can try the rpm intended for redhat 9, it works fine with my 10.1 2. You have to setup your fax.. at the terminal window #faxsetup ... 3. at the end of fax setup, it will ask if you would like to add a modem, if it did not prompt.. 4. #faxaddmodem ..this process detects your modem, when prompted which class to use, select class 1 5. well, there are lots of how-to and set-up guide that can be found in hylafax.org i suggest that you will visit that page, for more detailed info. this hylafax works really great...

you can have a firewall in your linux, mdk default is shorewall, but for antivirus, linux dont need it,,.. well as of now, and if you managed to install a firewall in you linux, make shore that you allowed those windows box to access your linux cups and samba server well, as you've mentioned that your router has a bult-in firewall already, maybe you can leave you linux open, if you are not comportable yet in its firewall

in your kde desktop, right click, then select configure desktop, then under Behaviour, select device icons, enable show device icons, then you can manually choose those mounted and umounted device that you want to be shown in the desktop..

maybe you can try this, it is in my fstab and I can view my ntfs drive as user... ofcourse, its a RO, since its NTFS /dev/hdx1 /mnt/window ntfs umask=0,nls=iso8859-1,ro 0 0 btw, am using mdk10.1

try to add this in your medium, select the Adding a medium from HTTP server http://mirrors.usc.edu/pub/linux/distribut...i586/media/main i got wvdial from this source or #urpmi.addmedia main ftp://mirrors.usc.edu/pub/linux/distribut...i586/media/main with media_info/hdlist.cz

regarding the windows part try to change fstab entry in your win partition /dev/hda1 /mnt/windows vfat umask=0,iocharset=iso8859-1,codepage=850 0 0 but, before doing that, try to backup your fstab first.. #cp /etc/fstab /etc/fstab.good.old < or what-ever file name u like>

it's been solved. i dont know what went wrong with my previous installation of qt-devel... that was tru urpmi, though I installed it but, qmake was'nt there.. then awhile ago, i tried to check thru drakrpm (gui) if what are the available qt-devel that i should try to install again, still, i got it from thacs rpms, i installed the latest version from thacs and it solved the problem... thanks for the reply

ok, I am trying to install a certain package from source, but when I run ./configure, it says checking for Qt... /usr/lib/qt3/ ./configure: line 118: qmake: command not found note: I installed already the qt3 and qt-devel from thacs rpm, but I still cant find this qmake.. i've google about it and it says that just install the qt-devel, but still, i cant find the file qmake.. what package of qt should I install here? Moved from Software to Terminal Shell Commands, Kernel and Programming - Artificial Intelligence

Im sorry for that, your right, It should be run as root since it pertains to rpm

to make it executable, if u saved that into your home directory, open a terminal and go to your home directory, then type $chmod u+x rpmfix.txt that should make it executable.. then issue $./rpmfix.txt

Well, I have no questions on mandrake as a desktop, but how about using it as a server.? is it good enough?

hi gowator, hope you dont mind me asking these, I'm just a little bit curious about what you have said,.... why? Is it not advisable to use Mandrake as a server ? edit: I'm sorry.....If this leads to another topic, I'll just ask this as a new

just a suggestion, assuming you have still a working OS, wether Windowz or linux.. try to open your newly created knopix cd in that OS, I think It is configure to auto-run, so you may see the index page about knopix in cd... just to check if the burned cd is healthy.. edit: eh.. good luck

thanks, but i have tried that, I mean for KDM, coz i used KDM, not XDM yet, but I also tried your suggestion... but still not working under KDM. in my previuos post, when setting default DM to XDM, it solved my problem... coz the default in XDM does not display "Start A new session" button... well, I've said also that I got some problem when using XDM, when playing on it, I found out that when I changed from KDM to XDM, my bash_profile was reset to default, so those installed under /usr/local/ and those script under /usr/local/bin/ does not work anymore... so I have to add those to my local users path = $PATH to correct the problem then, and it does... so by setting the DM to XDM solves my problem.

mc*.rpm is in the disk 2 of 10.1 cd, if you dont have that, maybe you can try to use urpmi, if no sources yet from the net, try the MUB easy-urpmi guide http://www.mandrakeusers.org/easyurpmi so you can get the source from the net

I found an alternative on how to make it happen that the "new session" option will not appear when locking the desktop, also it will not appear in the Mandrake start menu. Thatś when using the XDM instead of KDM or mdkKDM. I tried it but I changed it back to kdm coz some applications installed alredy in my systems does not function anymore...wierd.. anyway, I still think that there's a right config file that could be edit in-order to solve my little problem.. just dont know it yet.. or maybe I'll just try to figure it out why I encountered some probs.. when changing DM.. its another issue

maybe the kernel does not support that device yet or the proper module for that device does not exist in your box though the kernel detected it as storage device but as an scsi, have you tried to check the manufacturers site of your device if they have a support for linux?. or try it here http://www.qbik.ch/usb/devices/ hope you find some info there... also try to install a 2.4 kernel for your distro if ur current is 2.6..

this one, hope some got it already, still I want to remove this Start A new session button, but how?

itś been solved also, thanks dev
