Thanks!!! :D Kristi

yep duh - thanks duh... :woops: Now how did I miss that - and I did a search on xine. double duh Thanks!!! Kristi

That should work in my humble estimation - the pros here know more (one just posted above me while I was typing this!). You might take a look at/post your nvidia install log. /var/log/nvidia-installer.log or something like that. Kristi gottia be a noob and ask what's F1? :woops:

I had a cd burner (IDE1/master) and a dvd player (IDE1/slave) Pulled the cd burner and put in a DVD burner (IDE1/master) Mplayer and kaffiene can play a dvd from the dvd burner (I have to change "dvd" to "dvd0" in Mplayer) xine gives me 2 nasty messages but basically it is trying to read it from dvd instead of dvd0. if I put a dvd in the old (slave) drive, xine will play it. I tried removing the old dvd drive leaving only the new dvd burner, but xine still can't figure it out. I've also uninstalled and reinstalled xine and libdvdcss a few times. Anyone know how to change this in xine? tia!!! Kristi

I wonder which rpm up there is the right one - I had tried 2.4.0-1mdk and 2.4.0-2mdk. I'll have to go check his site again. Meantime I took it down and put up firestarter. Odly, Guarddog had worked perfectly for me on 10.2b3 (2.6.10-x) Thanks for the tip. I did a urpmi.update -a and then urpmi --auto-select -v (with help from Adam!) since I set myself up for cooker a bit back. That didn't produce any noticeable change (no smoke!) so I installed 2.6.11-2, the source, and nvidia 7167 - went in as smooth as silk. I've been wasting a few hours tonight playing with a new Samsung TS-552 DVD/CD burner - it seems that xine just can't understand that that first drive is not a cd burner anymore but dvd capable - I think the fact that I left the old dvd in as a second drive confused it. Mplayer picked it up after I changed the settings, but I think I'll open the box and pull the cable off the old one and see if xine likes it better... minor stuff!!! But this build just keeps rocking! I'm going to stay current with cooker at least until 10.2 stabilizes. But working with stable releases is boring! Kristi

nvidia won't install it the kernel release is different from the source release. (that's all the nvidia.ko message is saying) Do a uname -r to find out your kern modules release. Also check the numbers in /lib/modules/ Also, do you have both kernels in there so you're doing a multiboot at LILO time? hth Kristi

Thanks for looking in, Rolf! Yep - it was my procedure that was messing me up. it was when I STOPPED making oldconfig and make prepare-all that it worked just fine - but yeah, I always have a clean slate - but mkclean should clean that up, I would think... Maybe the sources aren't "pristene" - I haven't played with 2.6.11-2mdk yet. Who knows which kernel they (mdksoft) will go with !!! They switched midstream and upset a couple of folks, but, hey, I think they would have been shooting bugs in 2.6.10 forever! - no way I would have wanted to release that to commercial! Needs to be much more solid than that!!! Course now that I understand what nvidia.ko missing really means (duh)(thanks guys!!!) It's just a simple matter of checking things and maybe redoing the source install. Have you played with 2.6.11-2mdk? I may try fooling with that to see if the iptables replacement is fixed in that one. Kristi

Don't appologize, I don't think it's an MDK prob - I think it's a Kristi procedure prob: Confirmed. I did a re-install of 10.2rc1 and installed the kern source off the cd and ran the 7167 nvidia install and it went perfectly. My booboo! Thanks to all who looked in. Only prob I have now is with guarddor not engaging settings on reboot but I put that in bugs. Kristi

I just ran into this prob testing 10.2rc1 - what's the reason and how could I fix it. tia!!! Kristi

I think I feel about GUIs as you feel about CLIs Unto each their own! Kristi

worked on 10.2b3. Install guarddog using 2.4.0-2mdk (easyurpmi) or d/l rpm 2.4.0-1mkr from gd site pretest with GRC - wide open start apply settings test with grc - stealth reboot test with grc - wide open start gd and apply settings test with GRC - stealth I am having to restart it with each boot and re-apply the settings. reproduceable no answer on cooker-firewall yet - I'l put it on cooker tonight Kristi I didn't/don't think the ipv6 changes go in till 2.6.12 kern

Do the cdrom drive swap first... Kristi

Doing some looking back over the past month here... never did answer this part, and no I didn't think at all you were chiding me but I was just so frustrated (picture little kid trying frantically to get out of an impervious bubble) because I couldn't understand how I was tripping myself up - didn't press the button to go to step2 in easyurpmi because I didn't see it as a button, and something I dragged over from Xandros - make oldconfig and make prepare-all. Between the 2 of them I didn't have a ghost of a chance. Sure glad you guys kept posting back!!! Kristi

Hey there ddmcse, did you see that 10.2rc1 (2.6.11-1mdk) is out - I wonder if your prob is fixed in the 2.6.11 kernel? Just a thought! Kristi

I just looked at Amazon and found 3 (or more) possibilities for the Seamus Heaney translation - can you tell me which one? http://www.amazon.com/exec/obidos/search-h...0353402-1399112 tia! Kristi

Don't appologize, I don't think it's an MDK prob - I think it's a Kristi procedure prob: I had carried some procedure over from Xandros and I think it tripped me up cause when I didn't use it (the second try) things worked perfectly. (namely make oldconfig and make prepare-all) I think MDK URMPI works beautifully. Let that be a lesson to me!!! Thanks for looking in! Kristi

Believe! I still hate cli! But loving mdk10.2rc1! Kristi

I totally agree with you kristi. <{POST_SNAPBACK}> Yep! and again! I just installed 10.2rc1 - smooth as silk. Only probs are my own typos!!! Great product!!! Kristi

Bummer! I've had a few lockups with 10.2rc1(2.6.11), but only when I've hot-plugged/unplugged my webcam. I think the .11 kern is better than the .10. if only because I saw a few notes on google saying it is hot.

They work very well on 10.2rc1 which has the new 2.6.11-1mdk kern (YAY!!!) Kristi

yes. yep. I think I musta just messed up somewhere - that makes 10.2rc1 awfully clean! Kristi <{POST_SNAPBACK}> Clarify: "yes" IF you use the new Nvidia driver 7167 Kristi

followup - I notice no difference with the reiserfs partition - I get the scrape error when I stop transmissions Doesn't seems to hurt anything. 10.2rc1 / 2.6.11-1mdk seems to be tops. Kristi

yes. yep. I think I musta just messed up somewhere - that makes 10.2rc1 awfully clean! Kristi

Also be aware that 10.2rc1 is out and has 2.6.11-1mdk kern. You might want to start there. I just installed it and it went very smoothly. hth Kristi

bumpsi and updated
