    Alien in mandriva 2010

    If you're looking for a GameBoy frontend there's:

    vbam - A GameBoy Advance emulator​ 

    VisualBoyAdvance-M is a GameBoy Advance emulator. It is based on VisualBoyAdvance and integrates the best features from the various other forks.

     

    If you have your plf repositories added you can install from the Mandriva Control Center (mcc) or via the konsole as root with: 

    urpmi vbam

    Compiz crashes with a kde4-window-decorator fault at login.
    Have you checked the window manager settings in System Settings--> Default Applications--> Window Manager?

     

    Aha, I've found it. It's in System Settings--> Desktop--> All Effects--> Track Mouse.

    Thoughts on KDE 4.2.4

    in Everything Linux

    Posted · Edited by {BBI}Nexus{BBI}

    I've always looked forward to what changes KDE4 was going to bring over KDE3. I still remember when it was very buggy and attracted a lot of criticism. As time rolled on and stability became the norm, a lot of those critical voices have died down, if not disappeared all together. I agree about not moving things about so often and that settings should be kept in a central place. You shouldn't have to hunt around to make simple changes. What would be nice is the ability to assign your own preferred options to the desktop right click menu. I still have KDE3 on 1 desktop and 1 laptop, using that desktop is now like going back to Winblows 3.1 :D

    Heavy Disk Traffic After Bootup

    in Command Line, Kernel and Programming

    Posted · Edited by {BBI}Nexus{BBI}

    I don't know what the security level is, although I would suspect that it is standard since I do not remember doing anything special when I installed it. I installed from the Mandriva One CD and then added the apps from the repository. I don't know how to check what the level is

    You can check the level in MCC (Configure Your Computer)--> Security--> Configure system security, permissions and audit.

    Updates safe for 2008.1?

    in Software

    Posted

    Preparing to perform updates on mdv2008.1 and want to make sure that a full update won't cause problems as this PC is loaded with my data.

    My advice is to backup your data. Anything can go wrong at anytime (not just with updates) hardware failure, power outage etc. If this data is of real importance you should back it up!.

    Need Help With Themes

    in Cooker

    Posted · Edited by {BBI}Nexus{BBI}

    How do I install a new theme and select it?
    You can install new themes in: System Settings--> Advanced--> Desktop Theme Details or by: Right clicking the desktop and select Folder View Settings. You also select and apply the theme(s) from the same locations. If you are asking how to add new themes downloaded from KDE-Look.org then I don't know I haven't tried that yet.

     

    How do I install a theme for Amarok?
    I didn't know Amarok 2 was themeable yet.

     

    How do I change the look of the Taskbar (ie: remove candy stripe background)?
    This can be done here: System Settings--> Advanced--> Desktop Theme Details. You can change individual items there.

    Desktop will not load properly

    in Software

    Posted · Edited by {BBI}Nexus{BBI}

    that isn't a session option. any other ideas?

    Press Alt+Ctrl+F1 log in as root now type: drak3d and press enter, press enter again on the default selection, type exit to leave root mode. The 3d desktop is now disabled. Press Alt+F7 to bring back the login screen. Log in as normal and let us know how you get on.

     

     

    Edit: I've just realised I answered a 2007 post :D

    I started from scratch using 

    urpmi --clean

    then 

    urpmi.update -a --force-key

    still no joy.

    my opinion about Mandriva 2010 Beta

    It is still possible to search the descriptions of packages, but it is well hidden (which is also a bug). By default rpmdrake will only search the name. Click on the magnifying glass (see attached picture) and you can choose between names, descriptions, summaries and file-names.

    Thanks for that pindakoe. I never thought to click the binoculars! :lol2:

    Some Bugs

     

    *my installer freezes when I click test button on graphic hardware settings

     

    *my installer freezes when I click reboot button in the end

     

    *when I use compiz it my window decoration disappear

     

    *something is wrong in KDE 4.3, when I hover an icon on desktop it automatically show previews in spite of I closed show previews option in desktop settings but I know it isn't about Mandriva, it is about KDE because I got same problem on another KDE 4.3 distribution

     

    This is a beta release.  Have you relayed your findings to Mandriva?  Don't forget to include your machine specs.

    Microsoft fears Linux

    in Portal News

    Would love to agree, but I don't. As much as I support Linux, I feel that we have to be pragmatic about this. Unless hardware support from key manufacturers and software support from key commercial software developers improves vastly beyond the token gestures we currently see, the threat will always be minimal.

    True, but they won't support us if we don't have the userbase. Seriously, it's mostly games that keeps winblows popular for the average home user. Once they grow out of that phase and want to do more than shoot at pixels, they soon get fed up with having to defend against the myriad of viruses, spyware etc in order to get some work done. There was a time when GNU/Linux was only mentioned by those who used it.

    "Microsoft fears Linux" and so they should. The fact is GNU/Linux has come a very long way in the ease of use department. I hope they also continue to make huge mistakes like 'Vista' that debacle motivated a lot of users to seek out alternatives to Winblows. And there's nothing like the truth being set free to piss people off...

    Unless someone on the inside of M$ can document a M$ built in back door to the OS, or the next XP security patch shuts XP completely off, or it can be proven that service packs are M$ way of making the OS slower and slower to force users to upgrade; Source: ComputerWorld Blogs.
