kristi

Thanks for *your* patience!!! and yes, you are quickly getting better!

Kristi

kk will try that again.. not sure if i did it after booting linlux or not...

<{POST_SNAPBACK}>

Also might try changing the Option "Protocol" -to- "ExplorerPS/2"

I'm obviously just guessing here but what the heck.

Kristi

Thanks - I don't see anything but hopefully some guru here will!

When you start up Linux, I believe you have a button on your mouse, or your receiver that you can push to establish/re-establish connection. Try playing with that...

Kristi

Kristi's mouse wired Logitech Mouseman optical

Section "InputDevice"

    Identifier "Mouse1"

    Driver "mouse"

    Option "Protocol" "ExplorerPS/2"

    Option "Device" "/dev/mouse"

    Option "ZAxisMapping" "4 5"

EndSection

lol.. ok will go back through the post to change it.. any initprobe in my posts have been changed to inittab but i can't change the ones in your posts. if there is a way for lme to change yours tell me and i will gladly do it.  :P

<{POST_SNAPBACK}>

Thanks!!! Found the original - I think they're all changed Sorry about that :woops:

Kristi

hello all. got back from vegas last night. figured since i had such bad luck there i was due for some good luck here. lol redid kristi's instructions from scratch and walla!!! all awent as she described except for the part :

vi initprobe ||||  EDIT that should have been vi inittab  EDIT  |||||  and change line from 3 to 5. I did not have anything in initprobe. it was a blank screen waiting for me to do something. so...i gambled and just intered the line kristi mentioned:

EDIT EDIT EDIT EDIT

the name "initprobe" is in error - I am still looking for where I initially made that quote, but you must correct that to 'inittab"

Please edit any of your posts that have that in and change it to inittab so we don't confuse future readers.

Sorry about that!!!

Kristi

Glad you got it working, but check these modules - I may have made a typo before.

/etc/inittab gets changed from if:3:initdefault to if:5:initdefault

inittab has a lot of stuff in it. Here's mine:

#
# inittab       This file describes how the INIT process should set up
#               the system in a certain run-level.
#
# Author:       Miquel van Smoorenburg, <miquels@drinkel.nl.mugnet.org>
#               Modified for RHS Linux by Marc Ewing and Donnie Barnes
#

# Default runlevel. The runlevels used by Mandrakelinux are:
#   0 - halt (Do NOT set initdefault to this)
#   1 - Single user mode
#   2 - Multiuser, without NFS (The same as 3, if you do not have networking)
#   3 - Full multiuser mode
#   4 - unused
#   5 - X11
#   6 - reboot (Do NOT set initdefault to this)
# 
id:5:initdefault:

Also ini/etc/modprobe.preload, ADD a line that has nothing but the word nvidia

Whenever you use vi and come up with a blank screen, it's a sure bet you made a typo on the module name! Exit by ESC then type :q and enter to exet without saving.

give me a copy of the mouse section of /etc/X11/xorg.conf and I wil see if I see anything unusual, not that I'm a mice expert!!! :lol:

Kristi Yeah, If I went to Vegas, I would loose everything! Not for me!!!!!

PS Nvidia (video drivers)(glad I don't have ATI) s a continual thing... a couple of days ago I tried and tried to get Nvidia to mesh with 2.6.11.8 but no go. It's one of those upgrade thingies - I have to change to GCC (C++) v4 before I can do it and I just didn't have the patience! - I'll let someone else blaze that trail (namely Mandrivasoft (or Mandriva corp) Fun, though!!!!!!!!!!! Iam actually back up on 2006 cooker current... we'll see how many minutes it lasts!!!!!!! I enjoy trying to get bleeding edge to work. Prob is BIG changes in CUPS, GCC, and a bunch of other things. We will be patient and I will encourage patience among others!!! 2005 is pretty solid, though!

Kristi

huh?

<{POST_SNAPBACK}>

 

He reported a few posts ago:

yes login as root.. says' no such command'

 

This means the NVIDIA* file is almost certainly not flagged as executable.

<{POST_SNAPBACK}>

I figured he had a typo in his "command" - still do.

EDIT - scarecrow was right. I was wrong! Sorry

Kristi

(edit - ahh, if it's working, don't bother)

<{POST_SNAPBACK}>

hmmmmm now what was he going to say........

glad you got it!

:D

Kristi

huh?

EDIT - I should have said - "you're right!"

Kristi

  /usr/share/doc/NVIDIA_GLX-1.0/README for details.

Read the last paragraph. It says the Nvidia driver installation is complete. If yours doesn't say that we need to look at why.

Also look at /etc/modprobe.preload file. mine looks like this:

# /etc/modprobe.preload: kernel modules to load at boot time.

#

# This file should contain the names of kernel modules that are

# to be loaded at boot time, one per line.  Comments begin with

# a `#', and everything on the line after them are ignored.

# this file is for module-init-tools (kernel 2.5 and above) ONLY

# for old kernel use /etc/modules

nvidia-agp

nvidia

It may have other lines but IT MUST HAVE THESE TWO BOTTOM LINES.

Let me know where you're at!

:D

Kristi

well it worked i now have graphical boot straight into kde, but now i've lost the shutdown options when logging out of kde roflmao, just got login and password displayed....... no shutdown or reboot options never mind i'll get there.

I auto logon to user so I don't see anything while logging on till it gets to my desktop. Loging out I hit menu, click logout and get a little box with the cute mandrake the dragon, and the choices

1. End current session

2. Turn off computer.

3. Restart computer.

4.cancel

in a root logon, take a look at Meun,System,Configure,Configure your desktop,System,Login manager and see if things are to your liking there.

In 2006 Mandriva is removing most kdm or whatever it is so without mods, you will get less selection, but probably a safer system.

it was all fine untill i installed the nvidia 7174 driver roflmao (i changed nothing else!!!)

yeah, it's probably all Nvidia's fault!!!

now it seems i can either have a shutdown option or i can have a graphical boot straight into kde but not both!!!

i am wondering if this is because its the download (freebie) version of 2005 LE?

nah thats just paranoid roflmao

excellent stuff cheers polemicz and kristi

regards

reb

yep - beers or rootbeers or hot chocolate all around!!! :D

Kristi

correction: the book is called "Linux in a Nutshell", not nitshell. ;)

I know the book well, but since I make typos all the time, nitshell seemed kinda normal...

As far as books go, try google, first - cheaper and often quicker. Unless you can't remember "tail" so you dopn't know what to look up!!!

Reb2, edit /etc/modprobe.preload and add a line that only says nvidia. Reboot or wait for next time and you will get into regular graphic startup.

<{POST_SNAPBACK}>

specifically, mine looks like

# /etc/modprobe.preload: kernel modules to load at boot time.

#

# This file should contain the names of kernel modules that are

# to be loaded at boot time, one per line.  Comments begin with

# a `#', and everything on the line after them are ignored.

# this file is for module-init-tools (kernel 2.5 and above) ONLY

# for old kernel use /etc/modules

 

cx8800

nvidia-agp

nvidia

(the cx880 is my tv card - you won't have that line unless you have a tv card with a cx88x chip)

uummhhh... they are the same OS: Linux (Gnu/Linux for the purists.)  You are referring to a distro, not an OS

<{POST_SNAPBACK}>

Start with Xandros or Mandriva. Then after a few months migrate to Mandriva.

what is command to log out of root? i have been just closing session

Sorry - menu, logout. That will dump you to a command prompt.

get this

 

kernel-2.6.11.6mdk-1-1mdk

kernel-source-2.6-2.6.11-6mdk

[root@70-33-9-251 largegroh]#

 

i assume these are same so will move on

thx kristi. i am getting ready to leave town for a few days so won't get to this till i get back. I will let you know what happens. thx for the help

<{POST_SNAPBACK}>

geeze did I drive you away???

kristi: I only have the avatar set up on my Club account, maybe I should set it up on this one too. You gotta remember which forum you're in ;)

<{POST_SNAPBACK}>

duh - oops - I totally forgot!!! :woops:

glad you sussed it!!!

:D

Kristi

i tired to install the new firefox1.0.4 i got this

*** glibc detected *** free(): invalid pointer: 0x081bd408 ***

./firefox-installer: line 56:  439 Aborted                ./${BINNAME}-bin $@

help!!

<{POST_SNAPBACK}>

beats the hell out of me - I just checked and I'm running ff1.02 - that's what came with Mandriva2005LE.

You could try the firefox forum at mozillizine.

Kristi

now ready I hope.

after install 2005LE, you will be presented with a login.

login with root hit enter

enter password, hit enter.

type kde and hit enter.

This will bring you to a root kde session.

---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

In a console (menu,system,terminals konsole check your source and kernel:

rpm -qa | grep kernel

mine look like:

kernel-source-2.6-2.6.11-6mdk

kernel-2.6.11.6mdk-1-1mdk

-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

If they are both the same, as above (kernel-2.6.11.6mdk) you are clean - go to step 3.

Dirty system:

using MCC (menu,system,configure your computer

click remove software, search on the word source, and delete the stripped kern.

Go to /usr/src and delete folders linux and linux-2.6.1.blah... to actually get rid of it.

Quit the MCC software remover.

Click add software, search on the word source.

add the kernel source : kernel-source-2.6-2.6.11-6mdk it will ask for and read it off your CD or DVD

-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

STEP 3. check:

in a console run

rpm -qa | grep kernel

if they are the same, copy the NVIDIA-Linux-x86-1.0-7167-pkg1.run to the root folder.

Log out of root.

X will not close so it looks wierd.

type ls (that's ell ess or LS in small letters) and hit enter. you should see your NVIDIA-Linux-x86-1.0-7167-pkg1.run there along with a bit of other junk.

type:

sh NVIDIA-Linux-x86-1.0-7167-pkg1.run and hit enter

on the first question do left arrow and hit enter to accept.

Just whack enter on the next 2 questions, but note what they were for later post mortem.

It should then slowly build a module.

It should then slowly build another module.

It should then tell you Nvidia is installed.

cd /etc

vi modprobe.preload and make sure it has a line for nvidia-agp AND a line for nvidia.

esc :wq to save esc :q to just quit without saving.

ERROR ERROR ERROR edited by Kristi May 19 05

(THIS IS WRONG) vi initprobe and change the line from 3 to 5   so:       id:5:initdefault:

SHOULD BE:

vi inittab and change the line from 3 to 5   so:       id:5:initdefault:

esc :wq to save

cd X11 this puts you in /etc/X11

vi xorg.conf

assure your mouse is correct ("4 5" not "6 7")

change nv to nvidia

esc :wq to save

type

reboot and hit enter.

Hopefully that will do it for you.

Kristi

(uname -r will tell you what kern you are actually running in your system - the source you download MUST BE the same for Nvidia to compile. )

Edit /etc/modprobe.preload and add a new line which contains nothing but the word 'nvidia', then reboot.

<{POST_SNAPBACK}>

Hey Adam - what happened to the neat Avatar... :o

Edit /etc/modprobe.preload and add a new line which contains nothing but the word 'nvidia', then reboot.

<{POST_SNAPBACK}>

Try Adam's suggestion first - that's the one!

Kristi

Edit /etc/modprobe.preload and add a new line which contains nothing but the word 'nvidia', then reboot.

<{POST_SNAPBACK}>

Yes - that one cost me a pseudoulcer.

Also check your xorg.conf I once typed "Options" instead of "Option" and I couldn't boot to X.

Kristi (I regularly put the line

Option "NoLogo"

into xorg while I'm changing nv to nvidia. (put it on the next line.)

use "standard" security.

At one point I had found a beautiful guide for Debian. Can't find it now - besides this is not debian , it's rpm.

for KDE you might look at http://developer.kde.org/documentation/ also http://www.kde.org/

Googling will help you a lot. Also, definitely look through the Mandrivausers.org forum How-to's and tips and tricks - wealth of info in there.

Much of the info is badly out of date. This kern is 2.6.11

Some thoughts:

http://tldp.org/LDP/intro-linux/html/index.html

http://tldp.org/LDP/lkmpg/2.6/html/index.html (memorize that - we'll test you tomorrow

http://tldp.org/guides.html (where I got the above 2 from)

(most folks here probably don't know most of this stuff - especially me!!! but it's nice to take a quick look and get a sense that if you havbe a question, many times qooqlg can help you find the answer)(I usually ask a question here ahd then start googling) - Actually, I usually use SEARCH here, then ask a question here, then google. SEARCH is a fantastic time saver!!!!!!! (top of page)

Hope that doesn't confuse too much!

Kristi

Just a thought - a clean install of 2005LE.
