Re: [newbie] Sound problem

So when the next person logs into the system, those files are still owned by the previous user, and the sound system does not work at all. I have to log in as root and issue chmod 666 * in /dev/sound/ so that other can read and write to those device files. I close the mixer and then restart it.

I realise this isn't exactly a Mandrake specific topic but there is more concentrated computer wisdom here than any other place I know so I hope you can steer me right. The method that you mention is perhaps the safest, ie. install it as a slave disk, etc. I have done that sort of thing many times. As long as you are methodical and logical, you should be OK. I have done this with Redhat 5.2, SCO OpenServer, SCO UNIX 4.2, MS-Dog, and various versions of Mandrake from version 7.1 up. Most recently I did it with Mandrake 10.1beta2. It is a good way of upgrading your system as well as a way of recovering data from an ailing drive. Once you have installed your new drive, simply run drakconf (diskdrake) and set up the mount points and off you go! regards Duncan Hi Guys, First off, apologies for posting from a Windows box.

On the gigabyte site their are drivers for mdk 9 rh 8 to 9. Check to see if the raid controller is supported in Mandrake 10.1. I bought an off board promise ide raid and did not do a deep research on it early this year. I just checked promise website and it said that the card is supported. After buying the card, I tried to install mandrake 9.2. It did not recognize the card. So I did a deeper research and found out that promise only has proprietary drivers for Redhat, SUSE, and Turbo. Mandrake is only supported at version 9. So I was out of luck. I searched on Google and others said that the card is only recognized as ide controller under linux not raid since it is not real raid. I don't know if it works when you install mandrake on a separate hard drive on the same raid controller. It 's just my thoughts. J.T. Just purchased a Gigabyte GA-7N400 Pro2 mother board. It has an on board ide raid controller, ITE 8211 i think. I have 2 X 250GB maxters set up with raid 0 . Will Mandrake 10.1 (Linux Format mag version) detect and set it up OK. I already have win 2000 pro on it. Also will it make much difference performance wise, booting and running mandrake on a raid setup against running it on a standard ide master / slave set up. I ask as i still have ide channel 0 empty and I am thinking of chucking in another drive to run Mandrake on instead of the partition I have set aside on the raid drives.

Nothing! Just the same error messages. So I have the program running using alsa in one distro, but not running using alsa in another distro. Very odd. Incidentally, selecting custom setting of the sampling rate in the hardware section of KDE sound settings, kills the sound completely. There are no system sounds. That's as far as I have got.

[newbie] Duplex printing hp deskjet 970cxi
I have a Deskjet 970cxi printer with a with a two sided module (looks like a double roller gadjet that fits on the back of the printer). I would like to be able to print on both sides of the paper for book or tablet printing. I found the commands for printing using manual loading of paper. But I would like to utilize the printers automatic feed through the module. I have cups installed and printer works fine. Does anyone have any experience with this printer or two sided printing? Or point me in a direction to look? I have been doing some searching and reading but not much luck yet. Thanks Mike Want to buy your Pack or Services from MandrakeSoft?

I would suggest that you use the default /dev/pilot. If you can't find /dev/pilot in the directory, don't sweat it, as it is created on the fly by hotplug at sync. All you should need to do is open Kpilot, and press your cradle button to sync. Check for the note about not being able to find /dev/pilot before you sync, that will tell you that the Kpilot daemon is running. -- Mountlake Terrace, WA USA Want to buy your Pack or Services from MandrakeSoft?

Please check if you are able to read content of this CD (with Midnight Commander, for example - mc command - or ordinary ls /mnt/cdrom). If you are able to and still somehow have problems with urpmi, you can use rpm -ivh kernel-source-2.6-2.6.8.1-10mdk when you are in RPM directory of your CD. That way you should be able to install this particular package. Thanks. I followed your suggestions: first I made sure I was able to read the content of the CD, just with 'ls /mnt/cdrom'; then from the directory /mnt/cdrom/install/stage2/live/usr/lib/rpm I did # rpm -ivh kernel-source-2.6-2.6.8.1-10mdk , but got the following message: error: open of kernel-source-2.6-2.6.8.1-10mdk failed: No such file or directory .

On my cooker system I run CVS claws but on this, my 10.1 system I either run the stock Mdk rpm Or the 10.1 rpm available from my site, in this instance, since I have uploaded no update, it is the 10.1a claws I am running. I have no doubt you are suffering the problem which you detailed but the same is not exhibited or reproducible here. Can you launch claws from a term and then post the output relevant to the crash.

I have a page on installing the nvidia driver here http://www.jennings.homelinux.net/nvidia.html At the moment there is a bug in the Nvidia driver which requires you to modify it before it works with Mandrake 10.1 I think this bug is still present. I am sure someone will correct me if it is no longer around. Good luck derek ... Derek, I just bought a slightly newer computer (PIII-533), and it happens to have a video card that NVidia claims is supported by their latest driver, a Riva TNT2 64, so I decided to try the nvidia driver. I have been using the nv driver, which works fine except for lack of 3D acceleration (tuxkart gives me about 1 frame every 3 seconds). I downloaded the latest driver from the NVidia site. This is 1.0-6629, whereas your page refers to 1.0-6111. But I followed your instructions anyway, in case the bug you mentioned was still there. But in usr/src/nv/nv.c, it appears that PM_SAVE_STATE has already been changed to PM_SUSPEND_MEM (I can find the latter string but not the former), so I guess the bug is fixed. It compiled and installed without any errors. Only a warning about the kernel being built with rivafb as a module, and that this module conflicts with Thanks for that info Ron. I'll retire that page now the info is out of date. derek Hmm.. I tried out the new 6629 version of the Nvidia driver today. It compiles OK, but when it starts the splash screen does not go away. I had to revert to the 6111 driver again. derek -- www.jennings.homelinux.net http://twiki.mdklinuxfaq.org Want to buy your Pack or Services from MandrakeSoft?
