  2. Sound not working in 2009.1 [solved]

    in Hardware

    Posted · Edited by hanes

    Hi, Im having problems getting my sound to work on either my Soundblaster live 5.1 card or my onboard Via ac97 card (driver via8237)

     

    I have tried it with both cards on, with only the soundblaster plugged in and the bios setting for the Ac97 off, and I have tried it with the soundblaster unplugged and the AC97 turned on. No combinations work.

     

    I am using the new Mandriva 2009.1, I am starting to think this is a bug?

     

    KMix seems to get the drivers working just fine, I see two tabs, one for each card.

     

    Here is a printout of lpsci

    I know the cards should work because they used to work with Mandriva 2007.

     

    I tried changing settings in Pavucontrol, no change

     

    Anyone know whats going on? I looked at this thread (https://mandrivausers.org/index.php?showtopic=83944) which seemed to be the same problem, but it doesn't work for me.

  9. Get RFBDrake running on startup

    in Networking

    Posted

    Hi, I can't believe how complicated vnc is on linux..... wow I have been playing with this junk for 2 days... But anyways :)

     

    All I want is a vncserver for a local network that lets me control the MAIN terminal (terminal 0), I use KDE. I want the VNC user to use the same desktop as the monitor.

     

    I have found vncserver incredibly complicated. The KDE one (krfb) works well, but my windows pc seems to not lick connecting to it, I get weirdo errors, "rect to big", "connection restarts", ect ect.

     

    Rfbdrake actually works quite well. But it doesn't have an option to start on startup. Is there anyway to tell it to autostart and autoconfig the password?

     

    Thanks!

  11. Hibernate disables grub...

    in Laptops and Portable Devices

    Posted

    I think you are thinking of suspend to ram, I mean hibernate as in suspend to DISK. So the os takes an image and stores it on its own partition, then when the os loads next time, it takes that image and loads it. You can have two OS's each hibernating at the same time, as long as each OS stores there image seperately.

     

    Windows works like this on the laptop in question, if I hibernate from windows, next time I can choose to load linux, but the next time I chose windows, it loads the image.

     

    I think what is happening is that the mandriva hibernate script is sending a command to grub to autoselect (I see grub load, it just doesnt let me choose). I guess no one knows of a fix?

  13. Getting OSD on thinkpad

    in Laptops and Portable Devices

    Posted

    Hi, I have a thinkpad t42, I had it all setup for mdv2006 but when I reinstalled 2007 I have had a hard time getting configure-thinkpad to work. When I try and run it, it says that /dev/thinkpad does not exist. Everythin works fine with my laptop except OSD, I want to see the volume level ect when I change it. Note that the buttons work, I just do not see any display. I remember configure-thinkpad had these options, but as I said, I cannot start it due to /dev/thinkpad missing.

     

    Does anyone know how to fix this?

  14. Can't get java to work quite right (developing)

    in Software

    Posted

    Yes it works. Thanks a lot.

     

    It also really pisses me off. How many years has sun had to get this thing right? I remember how excited I was when I was learning Java, thinking that I was learning a professional and well thought out language. Now, I see the bug reports grow, the lag persist (remember when Sun was touting that Java was fast?!)

     

    I gotta find another language to teach :)

     

    Anyways, thanks for the help.

  16. Can't get java to work quite right (developing)

    in Software

    Posted · Edited by hanes

    Hi, Im making an quick program in java. It all seems to work, but the applets never get keyEvents.... For example, the code below is an applet that when ran, should move a red dot left or right depending on key presses. But for some reason in linux, NO KEY EVENTS for the applet at all. In windoes or mac it works fine. I have tested this with konqueror, appletviewer and firefox.. no dice.

     

    Anyone know whats going on?

     

    example code

    import javax.swing.*;
import java.awt.*;
import java.awt.event.*;
import java.awt.image.BufferedImage;

public class Bubbles extends JApplet implements KeyListener
{

int msg = 0;

public void init()
{
msg = 10;
addKeyListener(this);
}
//this function happens when someone hits a button
public void keyPressed(KeyEvent e)
{
System.out.println("SFDF");
msg = e.getKeyCode();
repaint();
}

public void keyReleased(KeyEvent e)
{
System.out.println("SFDF");
repaint();
}
public void keyTyped(KeyEvent e)
{
System.out.println("SFDF");
msg = e.getKeyCode();
repaint();
}

public void paint(Graphics g)
{
g.drawString("code = " + msg, 20,20);

}
}

  19. Common File Dialogs

    in Art And Design

    Posted

    I am always confused with the file dialogs, sometimes I change an icon and it will be one type of dialog, next thing I know I do the same thing, and its a different type of dialog. I think its the KDE and Gnome Dialog, I use KDE and like the KDE style. Is there anyway to force my programs to use it exclusively?

  20. DVD Shrinking with Linux?

    in Software

    Posted

    Is there any way to backup a dvd in Linux? I have used wine and DVDShrink, but it is quite annoying. I am looking for one app, to rip and burn, not a 12 step solution. I have read some guides that are quite a bit more annoyining then my current method:

     

    Step 1: Reboot into windows

    Step 2: Rip and burn all in one step with DVD Shrink

     

    I have used DVD Shrink in linux but you then have to burn the disk with growiso or K3B.

     

    Just wondering if there is an easier way.

  23. Upgrading to KTorrent 2.0 [solved]

    in Software

    Posted

    I installed the Mandriva rpm of KTorrent from http://ktorrent.org/index.php?page=downloads

     

    Prior to that I uninstalled the Mandriva version of KTorrent with "urpme ktorrent" and "urpme libktorrent".

     

    I tried to run ktorrent and I get this error,

     

    [hanes@localhost ~]$ ktorrent

    ktorrent: error while loading shared libraries: libktorrent.so.0: cannot open shared object file: No such file or directory

     

     

    Anyone know why I am getting this error?

  24. Getting Samba to work with guests [solved]

    in Networking

    Posted

    Well when you need answers, go to the source I guess. I found some good advice at the official Samba HowTo

     

    Here is my working smb.conf

     

    [global]
workgroup = Workgroup
netbios name = Baulz
security = share

[data]
comment = Data
path = /mnt/data/Share
force user = guestpc
force group = users
read only = No
guest ok = Yes

     

     

    Then all I had to do was make a user called guestpc, and chmod the directories properly. If anyone has similar problems here is a link to the page that helped... http://us2.samba.org/samba/docs/man/Samba-.../FastStart.html

  25. Getting Samba to work with guests [solved]

    in Networking

    Posted · Edited by hanes

    man, this is aggravating.

     

    Swat is a really confusing app, after you find out you have to connect on localhost:901, you are quickly presented with a very unintuitive menu. There are plenty of values, and one is left guessing on what to type in them, for example there is a textbox called Guest, i entered "yes", I entered "Hell Yes", I entered "Yes Please work what the #$@$ is the problem?", none of these seemed to work as expected.

     

    I have tried the mcc "Manage samba partitions" option. I add a share, it kicks me out of mcc (crashes). I turn mcc back on, my share wasnt added, I repeat until my head explodes.

     

    I have erased the "valid users" line and still get bupkiss... anyone got any solutions over here?
