[newbie] YAWQ :-)
Yet another wireless question: Is packet loss normal running via wireless? I never see packet loss on my hardwired LAN, but when using my wireless laptop and I ping the other comps I get a small amount of packet loss. Usually in the neighborhood of 10-15 percent or so...

WinDrv is the Windows driver for UT. For Linux, you should be using the (I think; this is all from memory) SDLDrv driver.

IF you didn't format your Winsux partition, and IF it is only a lilo problem with the mbr, you should be able to just re-install XP without formatting any partitions. That should solve the XP problem and restore Winsux to your original configuration. Hopefully, you have a full-install disk of XP, and not a crippled manufacturer's "restore" disk, because that could totally fubar any programs that you have installed under XP. Not much help, but that is what I would do. e Want to buy your Pack or Services from MandrakeSoft? Go to http://www.mandrakestore.com Join the Club : http://www.mandrakeclub.com
[newbie] Unreal Tourn. (original, GOTY) won't run after install
Hello, everyone. I hope someone here is familiar with running the Windows version of Unreal Tournament (Game of the Year edition of the original version) under Linux. I used abfackeln's install scripts to install UT-GOTY on my Mandrake 9.2 box.

The problem was in my tagline file, either in the way I saved it, or something with EOLs (or lack thereof, I'm not sure), causing the strfile process to just concatenate them into one big ol' mess. In any case, with Todd's help I got the file and associated .dat in place and working and, with further experimentation, found that I could create a small test file and working .dat with no problem, so it was definitely something in the file itself and the way I had created it when transporting it over from my Windows installation.

For no reason this machine would not shut off, in fact I had to use shutdown -h now as root. I could get it to work by changing the sessions, saving, then changing them back.

So there must be something grabbing your modem before it attempts to dial, and pauses it. This wouldn't be a delay of some kind from your ISP? Can't see why? My Maestro modem, did have a memory which it built after several connections to maximise the line speed, and when the line was improved, it had to be deleted or it would always connect at the best possible speed which was 36000 Kbps from the old line. I suppose that your modem doesn't have something like this, because obviously you didn't have this problem previously. Sorry more I am unable to suggest, grasping at straws here.

It is on your CDs. Install with your Mandrake Software Install GUI. You do not need gcc if you are installing a precompiled RPM. If you have installed 10.0CE from the CDs then you might like to apply the updates. There are a whole bunch of them now. You do not need mdkonline installed to update your system.

Your Shuttle is a micro ATX. and the system is up to date enough, that I believe with 2.6.x kernels, you should (even need/want to) enable apic and acpi. You do so by removing any 'noapic', 'nolapic', and 'acpi=off' (or acpi-=ht) from the 2.6.x kernel stanza in your lilo.conf. These features are built into the kernel, no need to explicitly enable them. With those option enabled, post the results of (should look somethin like mine): tom # cat /var/log/dmesg | grep -i acpi BIOS-e820: 1fffc000 - 1000 (ACPI data) BIOS-e820: 1000 - 2000 (ACPI NVS) ACPI: RSDP (v000 ASUS ) @ 0x000f62a0 ACPI: RSDT (v001 ASUS A7V600 0x42302e31 MSFT 0x31313031) @ 0x1fffc000 ACPI: FADT (v001 ASUS A7V600 0x42302e31 MSFT 0x31313031) @ 0x1fffc0b2 ACPI: BOOT (v001 ASUS A7V600 0x42302e31 MSFT 0x31313031) @ 0x1fffc030 ACPI: MADT (v001 ASUS A7V600 0x42302e31 MSFT 0x31313031) @ 0x1fffc058 ACPI: DSDT (v001 ASUS A7V600 0x1000 MSFT 0x010b) @ 0x ACPI: Local APIC address 0xfee0 ACPI: LAPIC (acpi_id[0x00] lapic_id[0x00] enabled) ACPI: LAPIC_NMI (acpi_id[0x00] high edge lint[0x1]) ACPI: IOAPIC (id[0x02] address[0xfec0] global_irq_base[0x0]) ACPI: INT_SRC_OVR (bus 0 bus_irq 0 global_irq 2 dfl edge) ACPI: INT_SRC_OVR (bus 0 bus_irq 9 global_irq 9 low level) ACPI: PM-Timer IO Port: 0xe408 Using ACPI (MADT) for SMP configuration information ACPI: Subsystem revision 20040311 ACPI: Interpreter enabled ACPI: Using IOAPIC for interrupt routing ACPI: PCI Interrupt Link [LNKA] (IRQs 3 4 5 6 7 9 10 *11 12) ACPI: PCI Interrupt Link [LNKB] (IRQs 3 4 5 6 7 9 10 11 12) ACPI: PCI Interrupt Link [LNKC] (IRQs 3 4 5 6 7 9 *10 11 12) ACPI: PCI Interrupt Link [LNKD] (IRQs 3 4 5 6 7 9 10 11 12) ACPI: PCI Interrupt Link [LNKE] (IRQs 3 4 *5 6 7 9 10 11 12) ACPI: PCI Interrupt Link [LNKF] (IRQs 3 4 5 6 7 *9 10 11 12) ACPI: PCI Interrupt Link [LNKG] (IRQs 3 4 5 6 7 9 10 *11 12) ACPI: PCI Interrupt Link [

Re: [newbie] Installing updates from Mandrake Online
Okay, I installed the Mandrake recommended development tools first. Didn't do the trick. Then I went back and installed the rest of the package, which didn't have any sub-group options long (save a choice between sendmail and something else), as the first install must of take care of that. So, I think I'm back on the right track. Thanks! On install, I seem to remember a choice for installing development tools and I didn't select it as I thought it was specifically for developers. If you need some of those tools to install an RPM, shouldn't it be a required part of the install?

[newbie] The value of Multimedia and TMB kernels
Hey Group; Can someone explain what use these extra kernels are? I've only found minimal info about these, and nothing that specifically states what makes them better than the original kernels. I see terms like "preemptive patching" and "low-latency" mentioned often, but no actual explanations about what these kernels would do on a normal PC. Is there any value to installing these kernels on a conventional system? My take on the multimedia kernel is that it should be faster at opening new applications than the stock 2.6.3 kernel, and there should be less lag time (latency) or delays when doing certain jobs, but none of that is explicitly explained. I'd appreciate a bit of info on this. Thanks in advance Lanman Want to buy your Pack or Services from MandrakeSoft? Go to http://www.mandrakestore.com Join the Club : http://www.mandrakeclub.com

Are there any standard settings for acpi and apic for different types of machine, or is is just a question of trying various combinations until I find one that works? I know that the settings appear in the append line in lilo.conf, but is this where I actually edit them, or is there another file for the settings which transfers the details into lilo.conf? Margot, the behavior you describe is probly a hardware or bios configuration deficiency. Specially if you close all applications you don't want to start on the next boot, open a term and su to root, and type 'halt'. You might also experiment with 'reboot'. In any event, yes, you're probly OK to use the power switch, particularly if you don't see any file system warnings on the next boot. On an ATX motherboard, try either "4 sec delay" or "instant off" bios settings to see if one works better than the other. Is ATX a brand name, or is it some sort of specification?

[newbie] Fonts annoyance
I don't know if this is the right list to post this problem. I am using KDE under Mandrake 10, kernel 2.6.3. A few days ago my laptop was shutdown improperly (a power lost). After that, every time X is started the fonts in Evolution, Mozilla and some other applications are pretty small, let's say something like 6/7 points. After googling for a solution I found out that starting "gnome-control-center" and double clicking on Fonts everything was back to normal. Further research pointed to gnome-settings-daemon as being the program to run to get the fonts looking nice. This is not a major problem because my computer stays up and running after I started it in the morning and I just need to start gnomecc once a day but, is there any way to get the original behavior?
