Mandriva 2006 file menu (mouse right clic on *.tz, *.tgz ...filenames) has not "actions/Extract" entry ... Is it a bug ...or a new designe ? [moved from Installing Mandriva by spinynorman]

I' ve disabled the services you have suggested and my PC works very better ! Thanks a lot !!!

Thanks a lot , speed is improved without Kat and lisa ! It is still a bit slower when a file is to be loaded .Do you see something wrong ? ( in adsl-status the link appears down though it is working fine ?!?)

Mandriva 2006 is very slower than my old MDK 10.0 ....both surfing web and offline ( file open is very slow...) Do you know some problems about that ? Many thanks.

Mandriva-Linux-free-2006 installation procedure starts asking to choose between (1) Upgrade MDK Linux release 10.0 (official) and (2) Install . What does this mean ? that this distro is a MDK 10.0 ? I 've installed this release an year and half ago ! Many thanks.

I ' ve added some entries in fstab and in /mnt ....and it works !

I ' ve windows partitions on hda1 and windows + linux partitions in hdb1 ...I cannot see no partition . In fstab there aren't hda1 and hdb1 and /mnt doesn't contain partition mounting points ......( MDK Move have these definitions and works fine....). Thanks a lot.

I ' ve installed Mandriva live CD ....and it works...but I cannot see the partitions on my HD (though the hardware can be seen) . What have I to do to see the files in these partitions ? Thanks a lot.

The way below had not worked also if I don't know why ........... File Association > Known Type > video > Add > .wmv The right way it is that below .... File Association > Known Type > video > select x-msvideo > Filename Patterns > Add > *.wmv

I've KDE and the setting works for .mpg because is already in the file list .But if I want to add .wmv though the operation proceed ok ...this (and other ...) extension is not added in the list !!! ( Totem Movie Player tries to open this extension but it's not able because a codec is missing....and mplayer open this file using the file menu "open with" entry....)

I've installed mplayer ...and it works if I choose it through the file menu entry "Open with " . In the file menu' there is a Totem media player entry that I do not want to use... What have I to set so that mplayer can open a video file with a simple double clic on it ? Thanks a lot !

I have MDK 10.0 and also the rpm of that site don't work ......... Have you installed guarddog with "urpmi" ? Many thanks .

I cannot get the problem...... [root@localhost GUARDDOGMDK]# urpmi guarddog no package named guarddog [root@localhost GUARDDOGMDK]# dir guarddog-2.4.0-2mdk.i586.rpm guarddog-2.4.0-2mdk.src.rpm there is guarddog in this directory ! I' ve MDK 10 and it is my first time that I try to use urpmi ........ Many thanks for your help ! Regards. [moved from Software by spinynorman]

As I said it's not an hardware problem ! I've get the solution searching "writing to devices is not supported " with Google ! It's a supermount problem, disabling it (supermount disable ) and opening mnt/floppy (after mount /mnt/floppy) it is possible paste files with the browser (this because the floppy icon is desappeared from the desktop ).

Can you tell me what is the tool to format a floppy disk in MDK ?

I think that hardware has no problem ! The floppy works fine in Windows and Knoppix environments !!!!!!!!!!!!!!

My floppy cannot write in MDK 10 environment but is OK under Knoppix live . I get "writing to devices is not supported " doing a copy /paste . No messages but it desn't work using cp or dd utilities from terminal. fstab is > /dev/fd0 /mnt/floppy auto noauto,users,rw 0 0 mnt/floppy permissions are >>> rwxrwxrwx I've tried in root and with my user name. Any suggestion ? Thanks a lot, regards. [moved from Everything Linux by spinynorman]

This DVD contains MDK 10 , FreeBSD 5.2.1 and many other data . The distros are in .ISO format that I'll have to burn on many CD ......then it's not a bootable DVD...and it works fine in windows environment....

The DVD containing MDK installation data cannot open (the same DVD works fine in windows ! ). The fstab entry is below ... is it OK ? /dev/hdc /mnt/cdrom auto mask=0,user,iocharset=iso8859-1,codepage=850,noauto,ro,exec 0 0

Sorry, but I cannot read DVD data ...then I think I need some basic software before using " Mplayer or Xine "

I've installed a DVD Rom that works fine with CD ...-What software have I to install to read DVD disks ?????? Thanks a lot.

I don't see something that can help . I need a Scite user that say how he execute a program .

I've just installed this editor .I can build a program but when I want to execute it with SCITE Tools/Go I get sh: line1 : programname : command not found What have I to do to execute a program under Scite ? Thanks a lot.

I am suggested this command ...that works >>>>>> export LD_LIBRARY_PATH=/usr/local/lib is it unknown to this forum ?

I've an old Glib-2.2.3 installed at prefix /usr (from MDK 10 distro ) and the new Glib-2.4.6 at the prefix /usr/local . Pango ./configure shows this log (with variable PKG_CONFIG_PATH already set ) >>>>> checking for pkg-config... (cached) /usr/bin/pkg-config checking for GLIB - version >= 2.4.0... *** 'pkg-config --modversion glib-2.0' returned 2.4.6, but GLIB (2.2.3) *** was found! If pkg-config was correct, then it is best *** to remove the old version of GLib. You may also be able to fix the error *** by modifying your LD_LIBRARY_PATH enviroment variable, or by editing *** /etc/ld.so.conf. Make sure you have run ldconfig if that is *** required on your system. *** If pkg-config was wrong, set the environment variable PKG_CONFIG_PATH *** to point to the correct configuration files I prefer to keep also the old version of Glib , then how can I modify LD_LIBRARY_PATH or what have I to put in /etc/ld.so.conf ??? Sorry...I'm a beginner......Thanks a lot in advance. Regards. [moved from Installing Mandrake by spinynorman - welcome aboard :)]
