Mandriva-user

I installed Suse 10.0 OSS and it works very good and at the same time I update suse it still works every think plus it recogonizemy new LG CD-RW DRIVER .

I can playing musik on and on it works. for SUSE.

At the sametime when I install Suse,suse ask me do you like to update,I say yes it works fine.

When I install Mandriva 2005 LE and ask to upgrade I say yes ,The answer it couldn`t do it ,I will see if Mandriva 2006 will update when I install from beginning.

So far I`m more happy then with mandriva update .

Best wishes for X-mas and a happy new year

Tnx arctic I will never but my finger on cooker for sure.

What is the difference of the Mandriva 2006 from the cooker,Mandriva 2006 from linuxformat.co.uk and from distrowatch mirrors?

Thanks for the free ad. Darn, I knew I should have put ads on my site...

:D

 

Small comment: the Free edition isn't entirely GPL, there are some other parts, for instance OOo is not GPL. However, it does not include any proprietary software, which is the next best thing to being completely GPL if you ask Free Software buffs...

I looked at that OOo web pages is very good one I like it put there is for linux look up at http://www.hahaha.com

Hi,

Well can one or more off you can tell me please step by step to explain me to upgrade from Mandrake 9.0 - 2006?

Wait I got for you and it will work 10000%

n KsCD Click the "Extras" button and then select "Configure KsCD" from the menu that pops up.

This opens a configuration window. Click on "CD Player" in the strip on the left of this window, then look towards the bottom of the window - you should see a section marked "CD-ROM Device". This contains a selector for which CD drive to use (if you have more than one) and below that a checkbox with the caption "Use direct digital playback". You need to tick this box if you do not have a separate audio cable between your CD player and your soundcard.

That`s the one

One I tell you just reinstall it again,that`s all

dsumedh tnx for the tips so I will not build my own laptop.

Actually, while the 20% rating is a bit too high, I actually somewhat agree with what wilcal said. Some laptops (like IBMs) are built like a brick so failure rates is less than 5%. Other brands seems to have 50% failure rates (in my experience it is usually Toshibas). It seems that every laptop is built in China with unreliable Chinese components, so only the brands that actually have high specifications have better than average failure rates.

 

Also remember that laptops, by nature, are portable. But the components inside may not be as strong to be carried around. I have my filll of seeing things like bad LCDs, non-working ports, broken HDs, broken CD-RWs, broken keyboards, batteries that doesn't hold their charge, etc, etc. My rule of thumb is that a laptop bought after year 2000 will last probably 3 years at most, while a laptop bought before year 2000 can last for 5 or even more.

I doubt that switching to SUSE will solve your networking problem at once. As I said in the other post, you should make sure first that it is not your ISP that causes the problem. If that proves negative, then we should take a look at your system. The tools for networking used in SUSE and Mandriva are almost the same, so don't expect any wonders when using SUSE.

 

And it would have been nice if you would have added this to your original post (https://mandrivausers.org/index.php?showtopic=28260&hl=) instead of starting a new one. This makes things easier for everyone. ;)

 

edit: Just saw that you added info about your ISP in the other post. 

<{POST_SNAPBACK}>

No it is not ISP because right now I`m using winXpPro to go in internet and it is working very good,soooo it is Mandriva 2006 beta4 is the fold i`m sure some where lays in the software or hardware.

I can`t find solution with thumb-thing the last answer is my friend he can help in no time and he told me it could be your BIOS.

He toldme Bios comes with you motherboard and can`t do nada.

One solution is suse 9.3 or wait and get 10.0.

So I wait and get the suse 10.0,I know it will be out in october theres no time table.

Thats ok if you find in other posting.

Ciao mike

Well I phoned ISP and talk to them it is Mandriva -linux has something to do because in winXP works fine or something else.

In fact linux is 100% safer then winlose,so my frien told me to wait and get suse 10.0 version.

Ciao Mandriva-user

I just phoned my friend for few minutes ago,because internet will not stay longer then 1hr.

He told me to get in October suse 10.0 so he told me it works with my system very well.

Ciao mandriva-user

Well I will ask them and find out now.

I browsing may 30minutes after that is disconnect what should I do so I can be for hours and hours on internet with out be disconnect.

Thise is the first time is happen to me that disconnect the internet connections.

You need to open KDE Control Centre and select Components then select Session Manager in there, make sure there is a tick in the two boxes in General. Look at the other options to see what you want and put a tick in those as well. Click on apply and when you next log out you will get a little menu box asking whether you want to reboot or whatever.

 

Cheers.                                     John.

You want to shutdown X or your PC? If it's just X, open a console, login as root and type: init 3

<{POST_SNAPBACK}>

End Session for Bob

 

End Current Session

 

Cancel

End Session For Bob

                             

End Current Session

                                 

Turn Off Computer    -----------> I like that so I can restart to winxp

                                         

Restart Computer

That is what I`m looking for.

I know that I have to go to Konsole to change that but how?
