Ok this is pretty annoying. I'm trying to run xmms/<random application that requires sound> and I keep getting:

Error: Sound Device busy.

Can only one program access the sound device at a time? If so is there a way around this?

Thanks

Thanks.

I'm trying to update ATI Drivers from 8.20.8 to 8.21.7. I removed 8.20.8 ok, but the problem is installing the new ones:

[Message] Kernel Module : Trying to install a precompiled kernel module.
[Message] Kernel Module : Precompiled kernel module version mismatched.
[Error] Kernel Module : No kernel module build environment - please consult readme.

rpm -qa |grep kernel gives me :

kernel-2.6.12.12mdk-1-1mdk
ati-kernel-2.6.12-12mdk-8.16.20-1mdk
kernel-source-2.6-2.6.12-15mdk

I'm running Mandriva 2006 powerpack x86_64, any help is greatly apprieciated.

What programs would you recommend for dvd backup with mandriva (alternatives to dvd decrypter/dvd shrink?)

with mandriva 2005 power pack the radeon drivers where already installed for me :D

I would say its a ram problem try reinserting it (if it was fine before) then run memtest from a bootable floppy, I had all sorts of weird errors because of incorrectly inserted ram(explorer crashing and a messagebox coming up saying just "error")

Hey i'm just wondering what kind of checks should I do to ensure my network is not compromised (specific programs/files)

Thanks

Is there an easier way of viewing/monitoring guarddog logs (only way i can see is by MCC )

Thanks

hmm I just finnished downloading a 370mb file, as soon as a ran it under cedega all of my folders/icons dissapeared from my desktop, I relogged and still only see the default icons (Home,welcome,floppy, cdrom) does this mean I have to re download the 370mb file? (hopes not :( )

Thankyou very much, sorted now

Thanks that sorted the X configure error but now I get this :

checking for KDE... configure: error:

in the prefix, you've chosen, are no KDE headers installed. This will fail.

So, check this please and use another prefix!

as you can guess ima n00b to linux :ph34r:
