Ghil Vertefeuille Posted March 17, 2004 Report Share Posted March 17, 2004 (edited) ok it's working better than 9.2, really faster and all but... how do I import the windows fonts? how can I set up URPMI (easyurpmi doesn't have 10.0) edit: XMMS won't play at all....he just freeze :S that's all I can remember for now lol Edited March 17, 2004 by Ghil Vertefeuille Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
william Posted March 17, 2004 Report Share Posted March 17, 2004 question 1: I'd also like to know question 2: As far as I'm concerned you will have to use cooker (easy urpmi) as the source (main, contrib and plf, that's what I did), but for updates, I'm still trying to find a solution, the mandrake update tool that comes with MDK 10 doesn't show you any package after choosing a mirror. question 3: strange but xmms iisn't installed here, I'll check that.

Ghil Vertefeuille Posted March 17, 2004 Author Report Share Posted March 17, 2004 also: why is my Xine/Mplayer displaying colors kinda strange (like greyish with some violet...) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
william Posted March 17, 2004 Report Share Posted March 17, 2004 It happened with me too when using mplayer. Have you tried to play with the available video drivers? (prefernces > video > available drivers). Xmms here is orking great. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ghil Vertefeuille Posted March 17, 2004 Author Report Share Posted March 17, 2004 ok I installed the NVIDIA drivers and the colors corrected themselves... but XMMS is still buzzing :S Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bigjohn Posted March 17, 2004 Report Share Posted March 17, 2004 Don't know if it will make any difference, but have you checked that the system has given you the correct sound card driver? Because when I did my initial install, it defaulted to the snd-emu10k1 that alsa uses for my soundblaster live! 5.1 digital, and the speaker was "screeching" at me, so I just changed it to the straight emu10k1 and it seems fine now. regards John Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
scoopy Posted March 17, 2004 Report Share Posted March 17, 2004 bigjohn... Stop that, you're making me dizzy I had some trouble with CD sound and xmms here. I use KDE and installed kscd and things starting working then. Still haven't figured out why I can't play CD's with xmms, but that's a project for me later. The new auto launch thing was configured to use kscd, so that's what I tried. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ghil Vertefeuille Posted March 17, 2004 Author Report Share Posted March 17, 2004 I did and it just stopped the sound so I reversed back to the old one Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ghil Vertefeuille Posted March 17, 2004 Author Report Share Posted March 17, 2004 (edited) argh! I installed the mplayer plug in for Firefox and then it came back!

Guest pipplo Posted March 17, 2004 Report Share Posted March 17, 2004 One thing i found to fix xmms playing is to remove the commnd soundwrapper from the shortcut, and it'll play. I did find however that it crashes when you try to use the arts output plugin for it instead of the OSS one.. :-/ Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
