Help!!:First Installation Problems

Art · May 7, 2004

Hi:

I went about installing Mandrake 10 on my computer which is Intel Pentium 4 Celeron Processor 2.7 GHz, 256 DDR RAM, I created all the partition loaded all the stuff, chose standard PC (internet edition) I did not get Firewall, but I could select it later. I chose Lexmark Printer (mine is X1150) but mandrake chose Lexmark 3000, the test page did not produce any page, Some problems with setting up Modem (external) could not resovle /conf.

Well I skipped the boot loader, then had to reuse the DVD to rescue and create a boot loader.

Now after boot, I get the boot loader with options

Linux-smp

Linux

Linux-fb

Windows

failsafe.

I chose the first three, It loads the OS, then I get to a login prompt then I login

then if I try xinit I get a message with a lot of warnings stating

errors from xkncomp are not fatal to X Server

xvt: unknown option '-n'

xvt: use --help to get a list of available commandline options.

My Graphics card is a RIVA TNT Nvedia 34Meg card.

Also in the boot up process VTA Technolgies sound card fails to be loaded.

In the boot sequence in the begining I get a message stating

: IDE Channel 80 cable not connect at 0

This is my first boot how to I get to the Xwindows and start the OS. I have Window XP besides loading Mandrake 10

.

Thanks,

Art

When you get to the login prompt, login with your username and password, then type

startx

See if that starts the X server. If it does, then we can tackle your other problems (modem, sound) in other threads. If it doesn't, please post the error message that you get here.

Hi:

Thanks; I got it working finally. I was trying setup the fonts for Mozilla, and Mozilla disappeared cannot start Mozilla how many evr times I try. Is standard Internet edition with a Firewall. I dont Viruses on my PC.

I still need to get my printer working.

Also, there is a message in the begining at the boot IDE 80 cable connection at 0 or something like to this.

After Linux loads I get a message stating cannot load sound drivers for the Mixer or something like that.

Thanks,

Art

See if you can find your printer there.

Is the modem working?

Does sound work?

Please run these commands at the command line for us and tell us what they say.
