Re: [newbie] updates
Did you get a curl error? that's what I have been getting. I don't know about downloading Mandrake 10.0 Official, but, you can buy the Official Power Pack edition (5 CD's) for about $10.00 Us at: http://www.almostfreelinux.com This is how I got my current Mandrake 10.0 Community and it installed without any problems. I am very happy with it. I bought the Official 10.0 from Almost Free Linux yesterday and they shipped it the same day. I should have it arriving in the mail Monday or Tuesday - or thereabouts.

RE: [newbie] Where are the exotic terminals and consoles - Eye candy?
SuperKaramba... Now there's an idea. Problem is, looks like you need to learn the Python language before you can create any widgets. Secondly, I'm not sure if Superkaramba supports text input. It seems more like a disply device than something that would take text input. Or am I wrong here? The Eterm suggestions are nice, but I'm talking more than changing backgrounds, using a colored font, or using a transparant background. Stephen, you might be right using it for changing color. If I learned bash scripting, perhaps I could set a color change for each character. Somthing like start at bright orange, after one second change to a darker orange, then repeat until it stops at red. Shocks me that nothing like this is out there already. Looks like if it doesn't exist I'll have to learn some type of language - either Python for SuperKaramba or advanced bash scripting... Any other comments out there?

Re: [newbie] updates
If you use urpmi.removemedia you will loose access to your CD's for those things you have not installed yet when attempting to use urpmi. I suggest you go to www.urpmi.org and read more about urpmi and in particular, how to remove specific media you no longer wish to have. You can determine what media you have by viewing /etc/urpmi/urpmi.conf Know also that with a little renaming of your media you can have extra sites listed for simular media.

Well, it could simply be that I'm running MDK on an older computer. I've never had this volume of issues installing any OS before. But, I must say, MDKMove seemed to have a better handle on things. By the way, I believe there are some acknowledged issues with the 2.6 kernal when it comes to ADSL that they've been sorting out during the last couple of revisions. ~Rory Want to buy your Pack or Services from MandrakeSoft?

Re: [newbie] No ADSL after upgrade
On Friday 16 April 2004 01:02 pm, Rory wrote: Last week I had a similar problem after an upgrade. My ADSLPPPoE settings wouldn't hold on reboot, killing my internet connection each time I booted. The only way I've been able to get it to hold, since, is to choose CableDHCP. Oddly, it works on my ADSL line and oddly the settings hold on reboot. So, I'm not mucking with it. Between that issue, my soundcard and being unable to activate my network printer, not to mention losing mouse control on start-up a couple of times, MDK 10.0 really isn't ready for prime time yet for newbies switching over from MS. It also needs to automatically install flash-compatible plug-ins, java for internet sites and mplayer macromedia plug-ins so internet use is fully functional on install. Installing after the fact just isn't fluid enough yet to not sort these things out beforehand. And automatically doing permanent mounts for your LAN on install would also be useful. If that means adding a couple of options on install, so people who don't want these things can avoid them, that's fine. If that's not its target market for this product, then that's fine. But, it appears to be sending all the signals that it wants to be that type of product. And for the sake of marketshare, it needs to be. It appears MDK needs a couple of more cycles before these very basic and fundamental hardware and software configurations become routine on install. I hope it's a priority. That said, I love MDK, I've learned a tremendous amount in a few weeks, I have high regard for its open development approach. It's a good product and I'm sticking with it! Rory For what it is worth this is definatly a issue that seems to only affect upgrades. I just did a clean install in a seperate hard drive on the same machine and everything works perfect Not that I am a expert but 10.0 is definatly by far the best linux release that I have ever seen although it looks like I will have to back up some files and then do a clean install to get my ADSL working right. Oh well upgrades always are a bit risky. Marc Want to buy your Pack or Services from MandrakeSoft? Go to http://www.mandrakestore.com Join the Club : http://www.mandrakeclub.com
[newbie] Backing up files.
Well my upgrade to ML 10.0 official was not a total success. It looks like I will have to do a clean installation from scratch. I would like to do this clean installation without lozeing to much stuff, espicially bookmarks in opera, emails in kmail and contact list in kmail. It seems like every time I try this I have problems with those things. I would be thankful for any advice on what to back up or any tips on how to make this as painless as possible.

[newbie] Yet another mdk 10.0 sound problem
Everyone must be sick of posts about 10.0 sound problems, so here's another one. I upgraded from 9.1, where all forms of sound worked great, CD, DVD, mp3, startup and shutdown ... My card is cs4236b. On 9.1 everything only worked with driver cs4232 (don't ask me why). Now on 10.0, the default cs46xx, cs4232 and all other cs drivers, except cs4236, can not find the sound card. snd-cs4236 is the only driver that allows me to run aumix (it is not muted) and kmix. Nothing works except ksCD, and somebody wrote that it's because it cabled (but it won't work with any other dirver). I did most every thing I read on the newbie list to try to get sound working, including alsaconf, which always stated that it is configuring cs46xx driver. I think I have all the alsa modules, including alsa-util. It is very discouraging when upgrading an OS (I did install with existing partitions) to have things that use to work, not work! There has to be something wrong with linux and sound or mandrake and sound. It just should not be this difficult! When is 11.0 coming out? Mike Want to buy your Pack or Services from MandrakeSoft?

Re: [newbie] Yet another mdk 10.0 sound problem
Nothing works except ksCD, and somebody wrote that it's because it cabled (but it won't work with any other dirver). Ahh, very interesting. This is *exactly* the same pattern I have. Something definitely broke between 9.x and 10.0. It is very discouraging when upgrading an OS Absolutely. The help of people on these forums has been most impressive, though. I've search MDK Bugzilla and haven't really found a bug filed that fits this problem, so it may not be seen by the developers as a priority. ~Rory Want to buy your Pack or Services from MandrakeSoft?
