[newbie] Broke Gnome.
Hi All, I have just updated 10.1(Ce) from the newly updated Tree.Now Gnome does not appear in the Log On options.This not a major problem,but any program which needs the Gnome Libs now do not run. How do I go about sorting this problem?Also if Iupdate to Gnome 2.7,will make an even bigger mess? Drew Want to buy your Pack or Services from MandrakeSoft?

Re: [newbie] Xmms crashes
On Thursday 08 Jul 2004 6:24 pm, C. Tresenriter wrote: I have 10.0 Official installed and get sound with Realplay but xmms has problems. When I load a CD to play and click on a track it crashes. If I start a stream, it buffers and looks like it's connected - shows that it's a stereo signal, but there's no sound and the timer sits at zero. Then if I try to close it with the 'x' button, the button stays depressed and the app stays open. If I then try to go to right click and go to options or grab it at the top it closes. I'd thought it had something to do with the Arts soundwrapper - which I remember solved another problem in the past but removing it from the xmms info in the menu tool didn't help. Seems like I resolved this in an earlier version of MDK but I'm coming up blank this time. Does this behavior sound familiar to anyone?

[newbie] Kernel 2.6 and 9.2
Hi All, I there a know problem with 9.2 and Kernel 2.6? I installed 6.2 and boot into the system with no problems,until I tried to use K3B.The program would not start,so I used XKill to stop it.When I reboot, the info on the boot screen said I had not unmount my Home partition. When I got into KDE the hard drive light stayed on,and the Teac CD-writer active light l stayed on,like I was using the drive.When I reboot again I received a string of error messages,about Home not been unmount. I booted into Gnome and did not get the H/D or Writer problem,until I tried to use the writer again.So when I shut down the PC,i had the unmount problem again,when I went back to Gnome the problems above start again.

[newbie] Trashed Laptop
Hi All, I need some tech help. A friend of mine has had her Windows XP Laptop trashed by a number of viri and Trojans a so called friend sent her.They have smashed her Firewall,and killed her AV scanner.The effect is she can no longer boot up at all. Is there any way I can boot up her PC using MKD Move or Knoppix,and copy over the files on the machine,to my MDK only PC,so I can clean them and save them to disc?If the worse comes to the worse,would be possible to connect a USB printer and print them off?Does Ark do spilt Zip files over multiple floppies?Because that maybe an other answer to the problem. My PC has USB ports and a network card,I would prefer to use the USB,because I use the NIC to connect to the net using a cable modem.and I dont want to naff up MAC address for it.

Hi All, How do I sort this? No support for ATAPI with cdrdao You will not be able to use all your reading devices as copy sources since there is at least one not configured to use SCSI emulation and your system does not support ATAPI with cdrdao. Solution: The best and recommended solution is to enable ide-scsi (SCSI emulation) for all devices. This way you won't have any problems. I know it would better if this was put right.I'm using an IDE DVD-ROM 16x and a TEAC CD-W58E writer.The DVD drive shows up as ATAPI and the TEAC as SCSI drive,in the interface section.

You also might want to see if you can delete nsplugins completely from the system and install a fresh copy, since yours seems to be a bit buggy. A signal 11(SIGSEGV) can be caused by a lot of different problems, but quite often it's caused by a broken package or Ram. Let's hope it's just the package. BTW, have you considered upgrading to KDE 3.2 yet? That might solve some of your problems as well. Lanman Thanks, Thats sorted it out,I have turned off Scan on Log On,while sort the the plugins out.
