I have played and settle with my laptop :) However, I noticed that I have ./root is getting full real soon while ./home has plenty of GB available.... I don't know how it happened but I thank Karamba running on my desktop and noticed that /root has smaller GB hard drive than /home but most software are in /root to running... If I save something into /home, will that also increase /root hard drive?? /dev/sda1 - /root =8.4Gb /dev/sda6 - /home = 81Gb Greg2, I will go home and get information (db) for you all guys and hopefully to help solve this problem... Since my laptop is now freeze everytime I leave it idle... I suspect too much memory in one hard drive which is why smaller GB that is almost full... Is that possible to switch /root and /home?? Because /home is in /root, anything store data in /home will also be in /root??

Guys... I think I made it... my karamba now showing Core 0 and Core 1 Temp, but only one left is GPU Temp... Do you know what it is?? It only showed C degree...

I got something to fix with edit on SMonitor (karamba) except with the temperature??? I read other from other site and tried to set up etc... I got lm_sensors and installed... but I can't find any instruction on how to edit or configure to make it running??

Thanks for quick responds... I wrote into CD and move to other laptop (XP windows)... they blocked too and I need to pay for it... duh!! But wish those VLC, MPlayer, Kaffeine, or other video programs should show up screen??

I tried to read different place and seems nothing that solve it... When I download from Ktorrent, and look at funny video and there is only yellow, red, green, and blue blurred?? MPlayer only one showed error Need help??

Look at Wireless Driver available and download...

I had same problems....Hope this helps....

Hope you don't mind to get back to this date... I need to disable compiz cuz my video didn't work right... I am not sure whether or not my compiz is running... Thanks..

I added to second too... Professors would not give any damn about excuses if your poor in exam.. Good luck with exam...

Jaraeez, Mind my asking.. did you get weather from KDE-Look.org (14.8 version)?? I tried that, but it required PyQT?? I am using 2008.1 as well as yours... is it 3.5.9 you are using?? Also, is your networking (download and upload) showing activities?? Mine is dead, might need to edit it?? Thanks!

Hey guys! adamw, you were right... I decided to format and re-installed 2008.0 because I tried too many different software to make wireless work as well as I only installed 2 days before wireless problem... Now, my laptop showed 2008.1 and wireless WORKS! What I did, formatted and erased all data... re-installed with 2008.0 then downloaded upgrade from Mandrivausers.de and urmpi easy (without MDE repository)... But I had to updates 3rd times, my wireless finally works. JonEberger, my wireless is now solid and the lights showe up on signals... it works... Guys, many thanks!!

My apologied! I just need to use "Text Editor" so I can edit on different kind of features such as CPU, temperature etc... I am trying to figure how to make my "download and upload" working?? It only recognized Public IP, but not Private IP??

If I can see that my network is having hard time search for available wifi I woudl have do something with router... but my laptop can't configure with network card... Something need to get fix with communcztion between my laptop and driver??

Can you give me a link for iwl3945?? Cuz I was unable to find iwl3945 but ipw3945... I am going to removed kernel that are from MDE, and reinstall with Mandriva 2008.0... I will see what happen soon...

I see your point... I removed MDE from my MCC --> Configure media sources for install and update... What is left: 2008.0_main.release 2008.0_contrib.release 2008.0_main.updates 2008.0_contrib.updates plf-free non-free main contrib plf-nonfree main_updates contrib_updates non-free_updates non-free_updates 2008.0_main.backprts 2008.0_contrib.backports Let me know if I missed or unnecessary?? Thanks again...

I am not really that 100% comfortable using commandline yet... I have read from wiki and learn more... the more i use commandline, then better knowledge... (Hope so ;)) Since I was passive for few months... Now, I got myself a nice laptop, So I can focus on linux!! I read from your link and I am praying that I am getting there either way! I saw one area about stable and unstable... When I removed ipw3945 and it was 1.2.2 and The article statement that at end of 0 means stable... I downloaded ipw3945 1.2.0, and it is now on my desktop... I am not sure how to install it?? Hope I can get some help on how to install from folder of ipw3945-1.2.0 in Desktop area... Also, I download from ipw3945... I wish I could have seen what version I had in 3.5.7 before...

I am thinking of using knetworkmanager, but if ipw3945 is not working in driver?? Will knetworkmanager take care and fetch what is necessary driver ??

My apologized for being delaying... Now, I finally get my butt on this issues... Thanks for the link, but I need little bit helps... I tried severals, but still not working... I decided to urpme ipw3945, it was in my system but removed which is good... Then I turned wifi off and on several times... typed urpmi ipw3945 as results..

I have used MCC to get wireless worked by a choice of two; Intel Corporation PRO/Wireless 3945ABG Network Connection or Use a windows driver (with ndiswrapper)... In 3.5.7, I choiced Intel Corp..... and it processed very well and easy... When I happened to get all updated... it changed to KDE 3.5.9 and kernel 2.6.24.3-laptop-3mde. Only wired that is still running but not wireless... My laptop is stuck with wired to ethernet.... Neither PRO/Wireless 3945ABG Network Connection or Windows driver (with ndiswrapper) work in MCC... I looked up wiki, or some places... but I seems can't find something help me.. Hopefully if you can help me to find the solution?? Here is the information that I am trying with ndiswrapper.... ndiswrapper -m adding "alias wlan0 ndiswrapper" to /etc/modprobe.d/ndiswrapper ... lspci 00:00.0 Host bridge: Intel Corporation Mobile 945GM/PM/GMS, 943/940GML and 945GT Express Memory Controller Hub (rev 03) 00:02.0 VGA compatible controller: Intel Corporation Mobile 945GM/GMS, 943/940GML Express Integrated Graphics Controller (rev 03) 00:02.1 Display controller: Intel Corporation Mobile 945GM/GMS/GME, 943/940GML Express Integrated Graphics Controller (rev 03) 00:1b.0 Audio device: Intel Corporation 82801G (ICH7 Family) High Definition Audio Controller (rev 02) 00:1c.0 PCI bridge: Intel Corporation 82801G (ICH7 Family) PCI Express Port 1 (rev 02) 00:1c.1 PCI bridge: Intel Corporation 82801G (ICH7 Family) PCI Express Port 2 (rev 02) 00:1d.0 USB Controller: Intel Corporation 82801G (ICH7 Family) USB UHCI Controller #1 (rev 02) 00:1d.1 USB Controller: Intel Corporation 82801G (ICH7 Family) USB UHCI Controller #2 (rev 02) 00:1d.2 USB Controller: Intel Corporation 82801G (ICH7 Family) USB UHCI Controller #3 (rev 02) 00:1d.3 USB Controller: Intel Corporation 82801G (ICH7 Family) USB UHCI Controller #4 (rev 02) 00:1d.7 USB Controller: Intel Corporation 82801G (ICH7 Family) USB2 EHCI Controller (rev 02) 00:1e.0 PCI bridge: Intel Corporation 82801 Mobile PCI Bridge (rev e2) 00:1f.0 ISA bridge: Intel Corporation 82801GBM (ICH7-M) LPC Interface Bridge (rev 02) 00:1f.1 IDE interface: Intel Corporation 82801G (ICH7 Family) IDE Controller (rev 02) 00:1f.2 SATA controller: Intel Corporation 82801GBM/GHM (ICH7 Family) SATA AHCI Controller (rev 02) 00:1f.3 SMBus: Intel Corporation 82801G (ICH7 Family) SMBus Controller (rev 02) 02:00.0 Ethernet controller: Marvell Technology Group Ltd. 88E8038 PCI-E Fast Ethernet Controller (rev 14) 03:00.0 Network controller: Intel Corporation PRO/Wireless 3945ABG Network Connection (rev 02) 04:09.0 CardBus bridge: Texas Instruments PCIxx12 Cardbus Controller 04:09.1 FireWire (IEEE 1394): Texas Instruments PCIxx12 OHCI Compliant IEEE 1394 Host Controller 04:09.2 Mass storage controller: Texas Instruments 5-in-1 Multimedia Card Reader (SD/MMC/MS/MS PRO/xD) modprobe ndiswrapper Nothing happened iwconfig lo no wireless extensions. eth0 no wireless extensions. ndiswrapper -v utils version: '1.9', utils version needed by module: '1.9' module details: filename: /lib/modules/2.6.24.3-laptop-3mde/kernel/3rdparty/ndiswrapper/ndiswrapper.ko.gz version: 1.52 vermagic: 2.6.24.3-laptop-3mde SMP mod_unload 686 ndiswrapper -l Unknown line at line 2389 That is all I tried to get better information and make it works!!

Thanks for info... Nice to know what is cause it... Glad to have simple things by delete them! ;)

Interested... If Core.### come up, which program I can open it (or type in terminal) and see what it caused?? Thanks!

I just wondering what is "bomb icon with numbers? mean to you? I noticed there are Core.9313 and other one is Core.32061. I am not sure where or how to fix this? I must assumed something showed error system inside? :unsure:

This is my first time play around with desktop and though to throw in... The only two problem I have: 1) can't get right Direct URL weather work... Neither Yahoo or weather.com.. (I recalled I can get code or something from BBC?? :huh: ) 2) Get rid of Floppy disk on desktop!! Not bad for my first month using Gnome What a dumb... I forget to upload screenshot!!! Guess need to go bed real soon!

Paull... What is up about me being dmzeplin-ness?? :huh:

Yea, alright... Let us rest this case until few months... Hopefully, we will get it... Actually, we will!
