  2. Installed today - have problems

    in Installing Mandriva

    Posted

    Hi, A quick "Google" shown this http://www.linuxquestions.org/questions/answers/411 which may help with your locked urpmi. As for TTF all you need to do is copy the fonts from Windoze to a folder on your pc, then go to "configure your desktop" then to "system - font installer" & add those fonts. They may be better ways but this is how I did it.. HTH

     

    EDIT : oops just like a bus wait wait wait .. then 2 come together :D

  6. ndiswrapper problem

    in Hardware

    Posted

    I installed the only package named ndiswrapper useing the install software program.

     

    Hi, Have you checked which version you are running (in the CLI type ndiswrapper --version) I found that even after installing the currnet version if the older version isn't uninstalled completely you will invoke the older ndiswrapper. Apologies if you have already tried this..

  7. network stability

    Cheers for the reply. For now I think its been fixed (I hope!) I after nearly giving up decided to check the AP's website (www.usr.com) for any firmware updates & noticed some beta updates. With nothing to lose & a story shortened the network seems to be stable. I will leave this PC running for a couple of days & take it from there.

     

    Thanks again for your interest peeps..

    Hi, thanks for the reply. Linuxant actually don't charge for my chipset :D (Ti) but I take your point. dmesg shows nothing of relevance. Strange thing is that if I replace the hd with a xp image on it, I have no problems. Do you know of any differences between 10 & 10.1 with regards to network protocols (i was think about IPv6.. but not to clued up)?

     

    TIA

    Hi all, I have a starnge problem which has only surfaced when I installed 10.1 (clean install). I ran MDK 10 with no problems whatsoever with regards to my eth connection. My problem is that I have an USR wireless pci nic which is running with the help of Driverloader. This is the exact same setup as I had in MDK 10, but in 10.1 I have noticed that after about 45 mins or so I get a slight lag intermittenly. When I ping before the 45 mins mark this is my result

    To be honest I am at a complete loss as to why this is happening. I have updated 10.1, checked logs, etc.. with no clues.

  12. DVD woes...

    in Hardware

    Posted

    Hi all,

     

    Ive read so many posts to no avail. My problem is that I can not get my dvd-rom to detect original dvd's. Now what I mean by this is that I can play originals but only the 2nd discs. Which leads me to presume that its the dvd-menu's that is a problem. Ive installed all the relevant packages (libdvdcss, libdvdnav, libdvdread, etc..) When i put the 2nd disc in the drive all works well & VLC starts up playing. When i try the 1st disc the dvd-rom does nothing (no spinning etc..) when I try to browse to the /mnt/dvd folder nothing...

     

    Any help would be greatly appreciated

     

    TIA

  16. i810_audio

    in Hardware

    Posted

    Hi all,

     

    Recently i810_audio driver seems to get corrupt (or something). Twice now booting MDK 10 (a gap of 3 weeks) the whole start up process has been very slow. Then once started the processor runs at 100%, the mouse is very sloooww. Running "dmesg" shows this error "i810_audio: drain_dac, dma timeout?" Any ideas!!. To rectify this I have to change drivers to ALSA (which plays to fast) reboot, then pick i810_audio, reboot, then all is fine again...

     

    TIA

  17. msi geforce and nv driver

    in Hardware

    Posted

    From what I can tell (reading your file) you have not implemented the 

    "nvidia"

    in Section 

    "Device"
Identifier "device1"
Driver "nv"    ---- HERE----
Option "DPMS"
EndSection

     

    Have you tried this, also there is some new drivers on Nvidia's web site which you may try

  18. Wireless card not getting an IP

    in Networking

    Posted

    I am using a Xterasys XN-2423G I used Ndis Wrapper to configure the card with the xp driver for the card. I read that this card acutally uses the TI ACX111 driver.

     

    Hi there,

     

    If your chipset is T1 your in luck. Driverloader don't charge for this chipset as I found out the other day. You get an OEM license which is permanent. Installation is a breeze, & configuration via the web page is also very efficient. You will need wireless-tools installed, but I think you have those installed..

    Hi,

     

    I'm another Smoothwall fan. Using it for two years plus. Never been hacked (yet). Their forums are one of the bets I've visited. They have so many mods & good developers that this firewall is truly amazing... my 2 bits :)

  20. Spread FireFox

    in Everything Linux

    Posted

    Hi all, just reading your posts. As a matter of interest how does Firefox compare to Opera (fors, againsts)?

     

    Go find out for yourself, grab the latest, play with all the themes, extensions and options, then make your own decision. I find that between the two it's generally personal choice.

     

    I use opera on occasion and I also tend to find that Firefox does a much better and faster job of rendering web pages.

     

    Hi, thanks for the reply. I just might do that... :)
