[newbie] pmsuspend2 question
hi, i have an hp pavilion xt118. i am currently running mdk9.2 and am trying to get swsusp to work. when i try it it goes down ok but reboot is slow and comes back with no mouse or keyboard. in my searches i have heard that if you use a seperate swap partition (one that isnt being used for ram) for suspend it works ok. i would like to know if this is true and how to do it. i made a new swap partition and changed the resume=hda() line in the boot section to point to the new partition but i dont know how to make pmsuspend2 write to that swap partition because it only wants to write to the original swap at hda5, not the new one at hda8. thanks in advance, drew Want to buy your Pack or Services from MandrakeSoft?

[newbie] NVIDIA driver pops up its ugly head
Hello all, I'm having a ball getting the proprietary nvidia drivers to work on box for a geforce2 DDR card. I've already tried every trick in the book and a lot that aren't, frying the initrd twice in the process and using every kernel I could get my hands on to boot. Tried all rpm's available as well the nvidia install scriptnutting:( I keep on getting the same error in XFree:NVRM: rm_init_adapter failed The way I read my logs the nvidia gets loaded fine by the kernel but gets deactivated by XFree when it can't use the glx module with /dev/nvidia0.:-/ Ah yes, I have commented out the dri line in /etc/security/console.perms and there's no line pointing to it in XF86Config-4 nor to GLcore, so it isn't that. Does this ring any bells or is it a known Mandrake issue I've missed somewhere?

Re: [newbie] Time display errors
Somebody scribbled about [newbie] Time display errors Coming from a Windows intensive background I mainly use X and I have noticed that since the upgrade, my system time seems to increment itself by 2 hours each time I reboot the machine, if I don't physically change it each time. Now that's odd. So would you for instance reboot today, then it would be 2 hours ahead, reboot the next day, find it 4 hours ahead - or does it just stay ahead of the regular time zone? I'll hazard a guess you're running KDE and you're seeing the same behavior of KDE's clock display I am, but first verify your machine is showing correct time by typing 'date' in a konsole. That will display what time Linux thinks it is and that is derived from the BIOS time (which should be set to UTC, unless you're on a dual boot system) and a time zone offset settable by Mandrake Control Center or by editing the timezone files directly. I have set the local time zone in the clock GUI to be Africa/Johannesburg and hence my time zone to SAST but my time still increments. I thought it might be that my hardware clock was said to There may be two sets of timezone information being displayed - as others have suggested. My KDE clock right now is +7 hours fast of PST, and I've seen variations of that - usually it shows up as EST. I don't reboot often enough, but it could advance the zones as you describe - I haven't been able to notice. If I open Mandrake Control Center, choose System/date and time, my clock in MCC shows the correct time zone. I reset the KDE clock with right mouse click and Show date and time - and select America/Los Angeles, and it thinks I'm on the East Coast somewhere (it's 11:44, presumably PM, according to the KDE clock, but 8:44 pm now in California). Too bad I don't run this thing at work, I could convince my boss it's time to go home :). As far as I can tell, KDE's information for time zones differs from what Mandrake shows -- in other words, America/Los Angeles from KDE's splash screen is different from America/Los Angeles in MCC. But that doesn't really make sense. What I have noticed is that when I start KDE, the time zone will be correct for some period of time -- and then something - running some application, or just waiting around -- invariably, the clock gets bumped. And it's only affecting the KDE clock. Anything else (even KDE applications that display time in a status message, for instance, Kmail) shows the correct time zone. Also take note that KDE's clock can show a time zone independently of what the system shows. UTC=false ARC=false ZONE=America/New_York Where the America/New_York came from is anybody's guess. I tried AFAIK it's the default time zone setting. editing the file and putting Africa/Johannesburg as the Zone but I did not have any luck with the line as below: OK but when you edit the file I think you need to rerun init. Many configuration files are like that - the changes aren't immediately acted upon. Assuming you reran init (e.g., by rebooting) does the Unix (Linux) time zone show as correct? -- David E.

Re: [newbie] How to get Wine working?
Hi Marco, The Wine on the 9.1 CDs is very old (new releases come out monthly). Wines compiled for Mandrake can be found at http://sourceforge.net/project/showfiles.php?group_id=6241 I'm not sure about the status of the November wine. There have been a number of complaints on the wine users mailing list about the Mandrake binary. However, I installed the October Mandrake binary successfully, so I know that one will install properly on a 9.1 system. I agree with cdrack's advice about using Winesetuptk to configure it. There is a new Winesetuptk at the site I listed above. One of its benefits is that it takes advantage of all the new stuff in the latest Wine releases. I installed it and thought it did a great job of installing all my media for Wine's use. Since Wine is alpha software, there is no guarantee that it will run your application. Winehq maintains a database of applications that have been tried with Wine (both successfully and unsuccessfully). You might look there to see if anyone has tried to use TopStyle with Wine. http://appdb.winehq.com Also, it is important to remove your current installation of Wine before installing another one. You can easily do this through the Mandrake Control Center.
