Hi all, I'm fixing to rebuild the puter and have heard horror stories about nvidia. I have been using the download version of Mandrake 10.1, the powerpack. Some one said that the download version for club members doesn't have the nvidia drivers only the pay for pack does. Can anyone verify this, I don't want to get a mother board with nvidia if it isn't addressed by the OS. TIA, Maureen Want to buy your Pack or Services from MandrakeSoft?

I was wondering if there is a way to use k3b (or some other tool) to append files to a cd-rw. I thought this would be easy, but if I drag and drop a new file onto a cd-rw it wants to erase the disk first. Was the cd-rw disk burned specifically as a multi-session disk? I'm not too experienced with -rw disks, but I would have thought that you would have to do that if you want to add to it.

Re: [newbie] using k3b to append files to a cd -rw
I guess you've to write them in multisession style. But it seems that K3B has its difficulty with this kinda multisession feature although it claims it support this feature. Once I tried to burn a CD this way but I failed. SOme other guys on this list also suggest this, if I don't have a bad memory. You may try XCDRoaster as well. HTH, Q.H.

[newbie] Problem with CUPS
Hi, Here we have an annoying problem getting CUPS/Windows to print. The setup is a Linux box running Mandrake 10.0 Official and a Windows box running XP Home edition. The printer on the Windows box is an old Canon BJC250 which is not a problem in itself. Now CUPS on the Linux box of course appears to be set up correctly with the Windows IP address recognised as also is the Canon printer. When I sent a test page to the Windows machine I get a message that the page has been sent BUT there is no such message in the Window print queue. The in-built Windows firewall is off. Print from the Windows machine itself is ok and the problem therefore seems to lie between my Linux box and the Windows machine.

When I got it, it was so new that it was unsupported by NVidia's Linux drivers and I had to use the generic XFree nv driver from cvs. Support was added after about 3 months, and since then has been rock solid. My old desktop also has an NVidia Geforce2 and that's been rock solid as well. Most importantly, 3d acceleration works fine. I have rarely had problems with using either the RPMS from Mdk, or the installer from NVidia. NVidia has, without a doubt, the best drivers out there for Linux, with the most complete support, they have major clients in Hollywood who demand quality drivers for their Linux render farms. ATI is miles behind, and only occasionally show the will required to catch up. The 2D drivers they contributed to X are very good, but their 3D drivers are seriously lacking. As for the NVidia forums, yes there's a LOT of light and noise going on in there, but I think that's just a reflection of the relative popularity of NVidia over ATI. I suspect a lot of the problems people grouse about over there are PEBKAC's resulting from not RTFM :-) That and the variety of NVidia hardware out there, not all card manufacturers are equal, some make great cards, others cut corners and they play up under Linux.

Excellent . Thanks for the links above, I have gotten to the point now where the NVidia installer reports that it has installed a driver for my kernel, but that the driver conflicts with a module called rivafb. Can anyone tell me how to disable the rivafb module in my kernel? Thanks in advance, I think (I know I did) you can ingnore that rivafb warning. Don't forget to edit the /etc/X11/xorg.conf and the modprobe.preload as per the instructions on his url. -- Regards Dave Ashmore MDK 10.1 Official Mozilla 1.7.3 Want to buy your Pack or Services from MandrakeSoft?

I have been using the download version of Mandrake 10.1, the powerpack. Some one said that the download version for club members doesn't have the nvidia drivers only the pay for pack does. Can anyone verify this, I don't want to get a mother board with nvidia if it isn't addressed by the OS. TIA, Maureen I can say that I have built some 8 Linux based machines in the past year - most of them running Mandrake Linux. I used NVidia cards in every one of them (nothing cutting edge, but I have an NVidia FX 5200 in this machine, running 8x AGP), and all of them work incredibly well. I've had enough success with NVidia that I know that I will stick with them, if that makes a difference... -- Take care, Randall Hobbs Programmer - System Administrator - Acquire Technology, LLC Web Hosting * Programming * Software http://www.acquire-technology.com Want to buy your Pack or Services from MandrakeSoft?

What I know is that I have to change the xorg.conf file, but I don't have the faintest idea what the changes should look like. Any tip, please !? TIA What video card do you have?

Hi Greg, sometimes it has to do with a developement package that is not installed but I am not sure what it would be in this case. I will have a look at knights and see what I can find.
