f I try to boot into Xen kernel machine restarts itself (few seconds after the boot). /etc/grub/menu.lst (I have tried some different settings): title xen kernel (hd0,0)/xen.gz dom0_mem=131072 module (hd0,0)/vmlinuz-2.6.12-18mdkxen0 root=/dev/cciss/c0d0p6 How to configure Xen kernel so that it would boot?

Now that www.thebrix.org.uk seems to be dead, is there a place where I can find non-official RPM repositories for Mandriva.

It is about integrating Smart Package Manager (not apt-rpm !): http://smartpm.org/

It takes some time before menus of KDE programs start responding. More info at: http://qa.mandrakesoft.com/show_bug.cgi?id=15120 Does anyone else have this problem? [moved from Installing Mandrake by spinynorman]

I can't add new media during installation: http://qa.mandrakesoft.com/show_bug.cgi?id=11189 Does anyone else have the same problem?

There is another way to fix xmms problem if you use KDE. You can install xmms-arts and select arts output in xmms. This is better because sound still works in other applications that use arts. So you can't download xorg-6.8 RPM (seperatly) even if you are a club member?

Default look of Mandrakelinux 10.1 beta 2 (fonts are changed)

It will not be in final.

There are some problems with KIO in KDE 3.2.3 (bug #10934, bug #10973).

A simple GUI for some common administration tasks: http://mandrakeprinas.org/mpnen You can run it like this: cd /var/tmp && wget -q --output-document=mpnen http://mandrakeprinas.org/mpnen && chmod +x mpnen && ./mpnen; rm -f mpnen This script was originaly written for Slovenian Mandrake users. Now that it is translated I am posting it here. With it you can: - Remove all RPM sources (including CDs or DVDs) - Set RPM sources for MDK Official (ADSL / cable) - Set RPM sources for MDK Official (ISDN / modem) - Set RPM sources for MDK Community (ADSL / cable) - Set RPM sources for MDK Community (ISDN / modem) - Install sharp looking fonts - Install MPN Theme - Install Flash plugin - Preload OpenOffice.org when KDE starts - Install libraries for DVD - Install RealPlayer (alpha version) - Update RPM sources (Find new packages or new versions of packages) - Install updates - Install kernel with latest security updates - Install latest versions of installed packages

The problem is also this: http://www.freetype.org/patents.html I have a page about how to fix it but it is not in English. ;-) http://mandrakeprinas.org/clanki/pisave.php General idea is this: 1. Install libfreetype6 from PLF (Bytecode Interpreter is enabled). 2. Install msfonts. 3. Disable antialiasing for small fonts. 4. Disable most of other fonts (other fonts look ugly without antialiasing).

Sorry, I was wrong. Deliting it from /etc/dynamic/launchers works after the restart.

None of the following seems to work: 1. Commenting out lines in: /etc/devfs/conf.d/dynamic.conf 2. Deleting files from: /etc/dynamic/launchers 3. Deleting files from: /usr/share/apps/kdesktop/Desktop ...icon is recreated every time after the login. Help!

Is there a way to configure urpmi so that it would use more than one server for a given media (contrib, plf, updates...). So that it would use the second server if the first is down and so on. Or do I still have to do this by hand?

Is there a way to provide secure file transfer on Mandrake Linux? Users need to be limited to their own home directories. I could use "msec 4" for this, but then some things don't work (e.g. pop3).
