  2. Mandrake 10.0 and LILO options

    in Installing Mandriva

    Posted · Edited by illogic-al

    I have posted before, but I wondered if anybody else has had a problem with Mandrake 10.0 not allowing you the option of installing LILO onto a floppy?

     

    I know how to revert back to my original MBR, but is there an easy way to get LILO onto a floppy from within Mandrake 10.0 or from the rescue mode of the CD?

     

    A method without reverting to command line would be good.  I am very confused after searching on Yahoo and Google for this.

     

    Many thanks.

    if I remember correctly kernel 2.6 is too large to fit onto a floppy which is why this problem exists. :sad:

    EDIT: which big john already said :-|

  4. nVidia driver problem with MDK10 OE

    EVEN MORE SORTED.

    Adding the line to XF86Config-4 (see above post for details)

    Option "NvAGP" "0"

    totally disables AGP support. I have just managed to get some sort of AGP support for my SiS741GX chipset by instead adding the line

    Option "NvAGP" "1"

    which apparently uses "NVAGP".

     

    My TirtaniumLINUX file won't run cos it can't find a "libMesaGLU.so.3", so I can't use that benchmarking s/w (that is still beyond me unless anyone can help).

     

    Is it possible to find out if the video drivers and AGP support are working by using glxgears as a benchmark ?

    uninstall then re-install the libMESA rpm

  5. UT video problems

    i don't have that section in my file anymore since I have a different video card so I can't check what it's called exactly.

    but in the file /etc/X11/XF86Config-4 there should be a DRI section in there.

    Anyone else with an ATI wanna check?

  11. mdk 10 can not see dvd burner

    That link is a post of someone using the same burner that worked with mdk 10 but not SUSE so the problem is not likely to be one with mdk.

     

    What you should so is set the DVD burner to Master (NOT cable select) using the jumpers on the back, and set any other CD drive to slave or vice versa. As long as both aren't the same thing you should be fine. I usually set my burners as Masters.

     

    also check the permissions on the /dev/hdX link where X is the letter corresponding to the DVD burner device.

    ll /dev/hdX

    this should be a link and point to another device.

    then find out the permissions of that device and paste it in here 

    ll /dev/whatever/the/link/was

    chances are only root is being allowed access to the drives for burning.

    The easiest way to test this out is to just try burning as root.

  15. XMMS skipping

    okay i got the ALSA plugin installed and have disabled MMAP mode but it still does it. now what?

    ok sometimes there is a mixer that it's volume is up which causes crackling noises. Use kmix or aumix to adjust the volume (mute) of all the mixers except pcm and master. This took care of it in my case. after that i just went back and enabled the mixers I needed (cdrom and line-in)

  22. KDE 3.3 alpha/beta rpms

    in WorkBench

    Posted

    no clue what code junkies is but i've finished the preliminaries.

    arts, kdelibs and kdebase are done. I'm contemplating qt 3.3 but they seem to work well enough with 3.2.3 from 10.0.

    I'm also gonna wait till i checkout from cvs again before releasing because the editing apps have developped an annoying bug since my checkout a day ago. grr
