Have you tried vlc player? It's the main media player on my mandriva box.

Have you tried to uninstall the nvidia kernel? and then reinstall them. check gcc to see if you accidentally uninstall it. reinstall it, too.

I booted the box with Mandriva kernel and problem solved. thnx. jt

So should I roll my system back to the older kernel then by uninstalling that kernel?

I am runing MD2007 with kernel version 2.6.18.8-1mdv on a dual amd mp 1.2 ghz with 1gb of ram. After I upgraded to this kernel, I could not just plug in a usb flash drive and have access to it as a regular user. I have to call up the control center and run "look at and configure the hardware" to see the drive. I have to configure the drive to be mounted as root with a mount point and then unmount the drive and disable the mount point. After this, I can mount the drive as a reguluar user. The following is what the log gives me after typing dmesg|tail: usb 2-2: new full speed USB device using uhci_hcd and address 4 usb 2-2: configuration #1 chosen from 1 choice scsi2 : SCSI emulation for USB Mass Storage devices usb-storage: device found at 4 sda: assuming drive cache: write through SCSI device sda: 121856 512-byte hdwr sectors (62 MB) sda: Write Protect is off sda: Mode Sense: 23 00 00 00 sda: assuming drive cache: write through sda: sda1 sd 2:0:0:0: Attached scsi removable disk sda sd 2:0:0:0: Attached scsi generic sg0 type 0 usb-storage: device scan complete I have no problem seeing my 60gb IAudio player as a removable drive when plugging it in the usb. Just the hoops that I have to go through to get access to the usb flash drive drives me crazy. With Ubuntu, I just plug in the drive and it works. Any suggestion? At first I thought that it could be the drive. So I try other drives that I have. It's the same problem. jt

I tried to start kbounce from the terminal. However this time it crashed and restarted X without leaving any messages.

at the boot screen, hit F1(I believe) and then type the followng to see what happens. linux noprobe I think that is the comand. J.T.

Try to disable the sata controler in BIOS to see if the system boot from CD-ROM without hanging. Just a hunch.

I'll try that and let you know. thnx.

It just crashed and don't know if it can log the error. J.T.

I have Mandriva 2007 running on my dual AMD 1200 MP with 1GB of RAM, ATI 7500 AIW and SBLive value. KBounce game crashes my computer at various stages of the game. Sometimes it crashes at the middle of the game and sometimes right at game over. j.t.

Found the culprit. It was the NoScript extension. Just uninstall it and problem solved. Thanks.

I'm still using the vanilla version of Yahoo! Mail. I hate the beta. I'll try FF2 out to see what happens. Thanks, J.T.

Using pmount is a lot easier than mount since pmount does not need to be root. I had the same situtation but on a ubuntu box.

I am currently running Mandriva 2007. When reading Yahoo! Mail using Firefox 1.5.0.8 and recently updated 1.5.0.9, I cannot see the text of the messages unless I click on the printable view link to open a different window in the printer friendly view. I also tried Firefox 2 and had the same problem. j.t.
