RE: [expert] kde2 sound event sounds
Most definitely not recent, or final. Hell they are using kde2rc2 (which is some of my problem). I bought it last Saturday at Walmart. I have never purchased a Mandrake, this was a first, and maybe a last. I have never heard of anyone releasing to the public (for sale) beta version without stating it was such. Oh well burning the one disc now and d/l'ing second now. -Original Message- From: Larry Marshall [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED]] Sent: Tuesday, October 31, 2000 11:41 AM To: '[EMAIL PROTECTED]' Subject: Re: [expert] kde2 sound event sounds > P.S. - with complete I could find no way to not install without supermount support, and the installation guide > states that it was written for power pack, so not all things are the same, boy is that an understatement.

Usually they'll tell you so if you ask. But Mandrake tries to get the known bugs out, anyway. (Actually, for all the criticism that it's been hit with lately, I don't think that Red Hat has been doing a bad job either. They're just a bit adventurous.) My system at home hasn't given me any grief since I did a clean install. But their timing was a bit off this time. The word seems to be that KDE2 is a bear to install if you already have KDE1 installed. -- (c) Charles Hixson -- Addition of advertisements or hyperlinks to products specifically prohibited Keep in touch with http://mandrakeforum.com: Subscribe the "[EMAIL PROTECTED]" mailing list.

They say "it's not good enough to release so we'll call it beta" and then wrap it in plastic and sell it. > (Actually, for all the criticism that it's been hit with lately, I don't think > that Red Hat has been doing a bad job either. They're just a bit adventurous. And a hearty hi-oh silver. So because Microsoft does things poorly it's ok for others to do it poorly too? Personally, I don't want "adventurous" when it comes to my operating system. Computers are not toys for most people who use them. Your mileage may vary but I doubt you'll get much support for this view in the corporate world.

It's pretty obvious that these distro companies have their expertise in computer geekdom rather than in marketing :-) I hope they don't all end up shooting the Linux in the foot as they are doing it to themselves but it's clear that this sort of thing is going to upset a lot of people, turn off a lot of newbies trying to make it work and confirm what the naysayers say about the problems with open source development/distribution.

Re: [expert] kde2 sound event sounds
At the console (as root) type sndconfig. This should set it up for midi also. I had a AWE64 which got setup okay, but something was wrong with the card. I'm now using a Aureal A3 based sound card which also works fine. Klar Brian D Contr MSG/SWS wrote: > I have recently purchased 7.2 complete.

RE: [expert] kde2 sound event sounds
I did that first, but when kde events didnt work I tried harddrake. After that, even running sndconfig again will not re-enable sounds at all. The test sounds come through, and that is it. Oh well I d/l'ed the two cd's yesterday, just haven't had a chance to install them yet (Halloween ya know) -Original Message- From: Cecil Watson [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED]] Sent: Tuesday, October 31, 2000 11:25 PM To: [EMAIL PROTECTED] Subject: Re: [expert] kde2 sound event sounds At the console (as root) type sndconfig.
