Guest CloakedPenguin Posted February 23, 2003 Report Share Posted February 23, 2003 Nothing to worry about Cannon, I would have to say this is their best yet. :D :D :D Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ixthusdan Posted February 23, 2003 Report Share Posted February 23, 2003 I have 9.1rc1 running. I had to do the Nvidia bit that I saw in another thread in order to get the driver to compile. That went ok. I had to install the texstar kdemoreartwork rpm in order to get my screen savers back. That went ok. Unfortunately, Xft, by texstar, made some weird errors pop up, like no MCC or gui file programs, so I had to uninstall it, which brought everything back to normal. I needed it for a program called Bibletime. Since this was new and improved, I downloaded the Bibletime source and attempted to build my own rpm. After installing the fam0-devel package, it worked fine. Mozilla 1.3b is better than 1.2Xft (faster) and kde is also faster than my previous 3.1 installation. There is some poor sound quality problems, crackling and such. Otherwise, it is not bad enough to remove and reinstall my previous system. I like it.

Guest CloakedPenguin Posted February 23, 2003 Report Share Posted February 23, 2003 Hmmmm, I seem to be having very minimal problems compared to everyone else. The only real problem I have with 9.1 is the RPMDRAKE keeps locking up. Sound is peachy, Nvidia compiled for me, and as for any other bugs, I really haven't found any... yet. :) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MottS Posted February 23, 2003 Report Share Posted February 23, 2003 There is some poor sound quality problems, crackling and such. If you are using a Creative 5.1 live! (driver emu10k1) then here is the fix for that: By default the Audigy driver is loaded. This is not the right driver to load for that kind of card. Open 'harddrake' and select your soundcard. At the bottom right there is a button. Clic it. You can choose which driver to load. Select emu10k1 and save the change. You can either rmmod all the snd_* drivers and modprobe emu10k1 or reboot. That did the trick for me. Sound is perfect now.. sounds good ! :P MOttS Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cannonfodder Posted February 23, 2003 Report Share Posted February 23, 2003 Thanks for the sound tip. Regarding my NVIDIA 256, if I open harddrake2 and check the video, it says GeForce 256. Does that mean I don't have to do the NVidia kernel update? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cannonfodder Posted February 23, 2003 Report Share Posted February 23, 2003 . I've lost my internet connection and gnome died (although i can't see what difference it made :) ) There is a bug in zeroconf ( new network tool ) just play around in drakconnect, and it should work for you, might have to reboot.

Guest CloakedPenguin Posted February 23, 2003 Report Share Posted February 23, 2003 Okay stupid question, how did I end up with 4 cd's? :( Is the MNF cd not part of the package? And what the heck is MNF anyways? :? I don't think it stands for Monday Night Football since that is a totally American thing. :roll: Could it possibly stand for Many Nifty Features? :? It can't possibly mean Many nudist flatulating :shock: Okay I better go before I'm arrested by Cannon. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

And what the heck is MNF anyways? :? :lol: :lol: .. laughing with you here .. MNF ==> Mandrake Network Firewall You don't need that man. You only have to dl 3 cds (the 2 first will just work fine). MNF is a distro by itself. Unlike 8.2 or 9.0, MNF is version of Mandrake oriented to network administrator. Hope this make things clear..

Guest CloakedPenguin Posted February 23, 2003 Report Share Posted February 23, 2003 OHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH! :o Now that explains it! So that CD is for use on my server then! Damn and here I was hoping it stood for Multiple Nude Females. Okay I'm outta here before Cannon uses his night stick on me! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ral Posted February 23, 2003 Report Share Posted February 23, 2003 ral... ... despite all his Mandrake/RedHat/Linux ranting promises to purchase a 9.1 Powerpack... actually there is an 9.0 available... maybe I should just pick that one up and download 9.1 (on the theory that if I buy 9.0, the local reseller will place an order for 9.1). From what I have read so far... the guys at Mandrake did a good job. The 18 month EOL is reasonable (that means that you can always be one version behind and still get a years support)... Joining the club... somehow I don't like that idea... but who knows. Maybe MandrakeSoft could charge for support past the first 18 months... now that would be worth it I think.

Cannonfodder Posted February 23, 2003 Report Share Posted February 23, 2003 I wish this bugzilla would work a little quicker. I'm waiting around for minutes before I can submit a bug report, or look for a bug, what not.. How many bugs are going unreported because people are going "screw it" due to long lags?
