linux_learner Posted October 17, 2003 Report Share Posted October 17, 2003 i had similar problems goin from 8.0 and up. 8.0 worked beutifully. detected all my hardware, no problem. since then, the higher versions dont like my ps2 mouse, so i switched to my trackball (usb). durring install my keyboard doesnt work, but after install it does. i am running 9.2 cooker with some variations. i added kde 3.1.4 for 9.1 and some other stuff. i lost some stuff goin from 9.1 to 9.2 and i hope to get them back (apps, not documents. apps like knode).

Qchem Posted October 17, 2003 Author Report Share Posted October 17, 2003 After a good bit of googling I've found out that I need a slighlty different ALSA driver than the one that was detected. Unfortunately this driver isn't one thats included in the Mandrake kernel. >why do you need a firewall on a dial up anayway ??? Does this really need explaining?? Go on a dial up connection and check your firewall logs!!! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest pvz Posted October 17, 2003 Report Share Posted October 17, 2003 I had the same problems as you, but installing aumix fixed the soundcard problem. Also, adding urpmi sources for plf wouldn't work on the commandline, but went without a hitch from within rpmdrake. These issues fixed, I must say MDK9.2 has been really smooth. Installing libfreetype6 from plf makes a huge difference on the fonts in your browsers btw. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Qchem Posted October 17, 2003 Author Report Share Posted October 17, 2003 I do think I need some help with this sound situation - so I've started a sperate thread in the hardware section. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gowator Posted October 17, 2003 Report Share Posted October 17, 2003 Seriously guys, I massively recommend using shorewalls configs. The Mandrake 9.1 one was SEVERELY FUBAR. Unless you configuration fitted what the wizard was configured for it was really screwy. I wasted days trying to modify what the wizard did to work how I wanted it. Then I gownloaded the shorewall quickstart and 10 minutes later everything worked how i wanted it to. I don't use it anymore because I changed to a dedicated router but if I ever use shorewall again (and its a great product) Ill be using their version. Basically if you have 2 NIC's and you want to route across them BUT also use the machine as a normal PC then the wizard is PANTS! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
