Re: [newbie] Nvidia and 9.2
If you don't have the nvidia rpms from the Mandrake PowerPack, you must download the new binary package from nvidia and also the kernel-sources from a Mandrake mirror. Is important to remember that the version of the kernel-sources must be the same of your binary kernel. Launching now the nvidia binary package the nvidia modules will be compiled according to your kernel.

Don't download the drivers from the Nvidia site, they are precompilied for another kernel, and will only lead to trouble. Mandrake's Nvidia support is pretty good now that 9.2 has come out, and for video was great since 9.0, which is the earliest I have used Mandrake, and NVidia cards.

[newbie] Mandrake 9.1 installation: the best of the best!!
I have installed 9.1 in two computers (one of them a laptop) and the experience has been the best I have ever had. A) Pentium III 800, 256Mb Ram, Nvidia Geforce4 Ti4200, Avermedia Tv, dvd, cdrw, scanner epson Perfection 1200U (usb), printer epson stylus 760 (usb), printer hp laserjet 4L parallel, creative 128b sound card, cable-modem 128 kb/s, Logitech wireless mouse. Ip masquering to conect the laptop (eth0 and eth1 presents). Results: everythin instaled (even the scanner). Applications runing faster than under 9.0. Fonts fantastic!, OpenOffice looks great with antialising even on the menu text! B) Toshiba Satellite 4090XCDT, 191Mb Ram, Cyber 9525 video card, sound card maestro 2, eth0 pcmcia. Results: everything installed but not the included windomed (detected but, of course, not module). Video card well installed, but screen as one Toshiba pp and not full screen avalaible (changed by one generic SVGA and full screen now runing ant 1024x728 16bpi). Internet installed, cups remote printers accesible. Great the video driver, for the first time in this laptop I can play Clanbomber without givin a white screen, moreover: I can run xine and watch video cds and avi films without problems (this never happened before!, thanks XFree86 4.3! :-)). Fonts wonderfulls! great appareance under gnome and under kde. More applications run faster than under 9.0. Just acpi I don't know if it is possible activate in this laptop; also I had some problems with supermount after a bad lecture of a cdrw, but after restart I haven't had any problem. Conclusions: How could I wait until today to install 9.1 in the laptop?; I have several classes to give using the laptop and presentations wit OpenOffice and I was afraid about the results, so this afternoon, after finishing my last clase, I started the installation. Is, without doubt, the best linux distributions avalaible!! Note for windows user: every time a new windows release appears, you need a best computer to run it; every time a Mandrake release appears, your old computer run faster and better; I was thinking about a new laptop to watch vcd and avi movies, but now I don't need a new one.

Re: [newbie] File copying from CD question
Chris, I suppose you are using Mandrake 9.0 with supermount enabled. If this is your case, the problem is a bug with supermount in the original kernel of Mandrake 9.0 (solved if you update the kernel). The easy way to solve your problem is to disable supermount: became root (su . password) type: supermount -i disable After run the previous order, type: mount -a And now you will have supermount disabled; you now will need to mount and umount the drives (Cdroms and floppies), but not more problems about files missing. The updated kernel for 9.0 and the kernel comming with the next 9.1 have this problem solved and supermount runs fine.

Re: [newbie] 9.0 screensavers?
I think the xscreensaver it so good; you can use it even with KDE (by default Gnome uses it).

C) The next time you will start KDE you will be able to change the parameters of xscreensaver typing in a console: xscreensaver-demo (I like to put it to change of screensaver every 2 minutes, and in random mode).

I'm always cautious to praise too loudly, somehow it seems like tempting fate, but all the thanks goes to those sane project people for their sterling efforts, and, I for one, am profoundly greatful. I just thought I would share this with you.It is always heartening when something works withou a lot of fuss and bother in linux.

Re: [newbie] problems with mount cdrom
Supermount it is giving too much problems in Mandrake 9.0; you can see the contents of a cd, but after a while the files couldn't be find anymore. Due to that I had to disable supermount; just as root do: supermount -i disable and then to activate the new fstab: mount -a After that you will need to mount and umount de cds and floppy, but they don't give you any problem.

Re: [newbie] Digital cameras
Fuji Finepix runs fine using the usb-storage module.

When you finis, unplug the camera and umount /mnt/camera. Note: you can include the line: /dev/sda1 /mnt/camera auto,user,noauto,nosuid 0 0 In /etc/fstab to allow any user mount it.

Re: [newbie] PCI
I had a similar problem with an ethernet card, that in windows was irq 5 but in linux this irq was occuped for other peripheric; the problem was solved when I try a modprobe using memory address of the card but not irq (it was a ethernet card compatible with ne2000 -module ne- and that used the memory address 0x300. I typed: modprobe ne io=0x300 Then linux autodetected the ethenet-card and used the irq 10; the card start to run.

RE: [newbie] sound card thinks its a CDrom
This is normal, your CDRW is recognized both, as ATAPI CDROM and a SCSI CDwriter; the SCSI emulation is essential to have linux burning CDs. So is not a confussion with your sound card. Probably to have your sound card working you must install sndconfig (rpm in the second disk of Mandrake 7.2) and run it from a text screen; It ussually works fine except for some very specific sound-cards. Anayway, you didn't mention what kind of sound card do you have!!! I have a winmodem in my laptop and I have reached it to telephon, but it doesn't work well (this was made using lucent modules). I think that the better solution is buy a cheap external modem, they work fine; try with your Texas external modem. I hope this could help you.

I did what you said with the Level #s but it didn't work, I restarted x

Here is current fstab: /dev/hdb5 /ext2 defaults 11 /dev/hdb1 /boot ext 2 defaults 12 none /dev/pts devpts mode=0620 0 0 /mnt/cdrom /mnt/cdrom supermount fs=ISO9660, dev=/dev/cdrom 0 0 /mnt/floppy /mnt/floppy supermount fs=vfat,dev=/dev/fd0 0 0 /dev/hda1 /mnt/windows vfat user,exec,unmask=0 0 0 none /proc proc defaults 0 0 /dev/hda2 swap swap defaults 0 0 Next, here is what results from the commnand, ls -l /dev/cdrom result: lrwxrwxrwx 1 root root 3 Nov 6 01:24 /dev/cdrom -hdc In the konqueror file manager , I have su to root and using this manager have gone to the /mnt directory.

When I attempt to click on the cdrom or the floppy, I get this for answer box: unable to enter file:/mnt/cdrom. You do not have access right to this location. Also I have su to root in the terminal and done this: cd /mnt/cdrom I get this: bash: cd: /mnt/cdrom:Input/output error I type in mount /mnt/cdrom I get this: mount: /mnt/cdrom already mounted or /mnt/cdrom busy. mount: according to mtab, /mnt/cdrom is already mounte on /mnt/cdrom I type this: eject /mnt/cdrom I get this: eject: unable to find or open device for: '/mnt/cdrom' I type this: eject /cdrom I get this: eject: unable to eject, last error: Input/output error My cdrom is working just fine, I installed mandrake with this cdrom drive, it is recognized in linux harddrake and works fine in windows, it is dual-boot box. Also when going to cdburning program, the cdrom drive is definitely recognized, and even shows contents of an inserted CD when browsing in the program. Also when using the make boot floppy GUI tool the floppy will in fact work fine, but on my own it will not. BIG NOTE HERE:I am having also Identical problem with the floppy, it too also has icon with lock on it. Now this the problem that I am having. As a result the rpmdrake cannot find the cdrom.. Thus I am unable to install rpm, and I am unable to look at any cd or floppy, and it is getting more urgent to be able to do this.. MY assumption is that this problem has something to do with "supermount". ANY HELP, THANKS...
[newbie] Upgrade Mandrake 7.2
Hello, I have finally installed 7.2 on my computer; when I did the installation using a booting disk I had a lot of problems with KDE2, but doing the installation from the CD-ROM more of the problems have dissapeared. Most of the problems, but not all; I have the next ones: a) under 7.1 my Yamaha CDR works fine, as CD-recorder and as CD-lecture; but now it only works as CD-recorder, when I introduce a CD_ROM it is not recognized (the KDE shows the icon closed). Unfortunately Rpmdrake just look for the rpm packages in the Yamaha. b) My DVD Hitachi was recognized well, but not with xcdroast; I just can copy CD using the Yamaha to read (in this case it works!) and write. Under 7.1 the Hitachi worked fine 100%. c) The sound of the tv-card (Avermedia Capture 98) is not correctly detected, so I can watch the tv with kvintv but not hear the sound. Under 7.1 worked fine. d) The KDE system control (the name it is not exactly that, but it is equivalent to the System-Configuration package in windows) detects a lot of conflict of IRQ between netcard and soundcard, but I have not idea about how to change this; I have made changes in the modules.conf file, for example the soundcard IRQ under windows is 5, but in linux is 7 (I think this could be part of the problem), but if I put the change in modules.conf and restart the sistem the irq is the same. e) My epson Stylus 760 works; the color print is fine, much better than in 7.1, but the margins are minimum (cup configuration) and I can find how to modify them. Any help will be very appreciated, because 7.2 looks and seems to work fine for the rest of the hardware and software. Francisco Alcaraz Murcia (Spain)
[newbie] RV: Upgrade Mandrake 7.2
Hello again, I have another problem (remember, I am a newbie!) rpmdrake was trying to read the rpm packages from the cdrom (cdrom 1) that at the moment I can use as reader (is a Yamaha CDRW and mandrake 7.2 just can read cd when it is used with xcdroast) I tryed yesterday to force rpmdrake to read from the cdrom2 (Hitachi DVD) erasing the cdrom (1) lecture to find rpm packages from the preferences and from then it is impossible to open rpmdrake, that gives me an error (no packages avalaible or something similar). Is there any configuration file for rpmdrake?, I suppose that because if I uninstall and then reinstall rpmdrake the problem is not solved. And rpmdrake wasn't read from the Hitachi DVD, so I can not use the program to install more rpm packages.

RE: [newbie] Toshiba and video woes
Dear Ricardo I have a Toshiba satellite 4090 XCDT and finally I have reached to install the Mandrake 7.1. I had no problems to install the 7.0 version, but the 7.1 was more difficult I do not know wy; the way to install is in text mode installation, that means, when the installation CD show you the first screen, you must type F1 and then write text; Mandrake 7.1 recognized the Trident Cyber 9525 and when you restart the computer everything is OK. I had problems with the PCMCIA, but you must go to the Bios SETUP and put the PCMCIA not in Automatic but in the first option. I had not tryied to install the winmodem because a external modem run faster. So, the solution is the installation in text mode; I had the problem of bad installation in graphic mode with the Mandrake 7.1 not only with my laptop, also with other computers and in all cases when linux try to start the X the graphic screen shut down and appears the text linux screen. I have solved the problem in two ways: 1) installation in text mode 2) installation from windows, putting the CD on the CD-ROM driver and it starts automatically and you select complet installation. I hope this help you, now mi laptop works fine with linux Francisco Alcaraz [EMAIL PROTECTED] Murcia (Spain)

[newbie] Automatization bttv and related modules
Hello, I am here again and very happy, finally I could watch tv under linux in my computer and also the net. And I have two question about: QUESTION 1 It was hard to me, a beginner, but with the help in this list and some web pages I can use cabletv to watch the cable chanels with cablecrypt codification (In my house I have an account with one of the Spanish cable enterprises named ONO). I have an Avermedia TV Capture and a ATI Rage II video card in a Pentium II 400 with 64 Mb Ram; It works very fine. At the moment I must introduce manually the orders to charge all the necesarry modules: insmod videodev insmod i2c verbose=1 scan=1 i2c_debug=0 test -f i2c_chardev.o insmod i2c_chardev insmod tuner debug=1 type=5 insmod msp3400 debug=2 insmod bttv card=6 radio=0 pll=2,2 vidmem=0xf50 and after that y type: /usr/local/bin/cabletv and.. hale opp! it's run fine But I would like linux do that automatically when cabletv start to run; I think that the way is introduce this orders in the /etc/conf.modules file but I do not know exactly how; I have introduced at the end of the mentioned file the next lines: #TV alias char-major-81 bttv pre-install bttv modprobe -k msp3400; modprobe -k tuner options bttv card=6 radio=0 pll=2,2 vidmem=0xf50 options msp3400 degug=2 options tuner debug=1 type=5 bttv, videodev and i2c are correctly charged when I run cabletv, but not msp3400 neither tuner; in fact if I type the orders related with those modules everything goes. Could you help me? What must I write int he conf.modules file? QUESTION 2 I have my home computer with an eternet card and the module it is charged fine. I use it to conect sometimes my laptop to this main computer. The problem start when I switch on my computer without conexion to the laptop, the graphic screen works okey, but the others virtual screen show error messages because the computer is trying to conect and doesn't find other computers; working for example in virtual screen 1 messages apears every few seconds about that the computer is trying to conect. The ethernet card module is charged in the conf.modules file. Is there any way to make linux only use this module when the laptop is conected?

Hello, I am a new Linux User and, of course, I have lots and lots of things to know about this very stable OS. As more of the new linux users, I come from windows world, in fact I need to run both OS because wine and vmware can't run perfectly some very specific applications (actually vmware almost can, it is a very interesting option but not GNU). Well, I installed in two computers Mandrake 7.0, one Toshiba Satellite 4090XCDT and one Pentium II with CD-Graber, TV card, Ethernet Card. After solve via internet some problems, almost everything worked OK. I was very glad with Linux and I decided to use Mandrake 7.1 in both computers and then, the problems appear. In both computers it has been impossible to run linux in graphic mode; along the instalation everything seems to work OK; Mandrake 7.1 detects all the hardware, even the monitor and graphic card type, but when I run linux It tries to run in graphic mode and after some seconds, the blue screen fall down and appear the login in text mode.
