(That's why I couldn't get 'The Gimp' to work!). *** http://www.channel4.com/science/microsites/R/real_wizards/witches_t.html describes mandrake's use by witches - a witch I knew 30 years ago was using it (he ground it to a paste rubbed it on his temples). Through the ages, magic often involved taking drugs and seeing things. Where the druids had ergot and the shamans had mushrooms, witches had mandrake. The mandrake has long been regarded as having magical properties, perhaps because its forked root gives the plant a human-like shape. According to tradition, the plant would scream when it was pulled out of the ground. Consequently, mandrake was not dug up by hand; instead, a dog would be harnessed to the root and encouraged to drag it out of the ground. The mysteries of the mandrake are not limited to its shape. It is related to henbane and deadly nightshade. All three contain a number of very powerful alkaloids. When absorbed into the body, these chemical substances can cause double vision, hallucination and even coma. With their knowledge of the effects of mandrake, witches would have been able to dose themselves to produce the required effects without risking their lives. The witch's cauldron would have been used to boil the herbs in a fatty solution; this produced an ointment that the witch would smear on her body. A trance-like state would follow, with the witch experiencing sensations of flying - this is probably the origin of the familiar imagery of witches flying on broomsticks. Witches, like druids and shamans before them, derived some of their authority from their apparent ability to travel into another world. -- pm The enemy is anybody who's going to get you killed, no matter which side he's on.

However, on the qt front, I do indeed have a newer version of qt installed. The problem being, I cant install the earlier version, as in order to do so, software installer wants to remove virtually the whole of KDE, owing to dependencies.

[newbie] 10 Official Speedtouch USB
It would appear that I have found a solution to the problem! I know there are a few people who have had problems getting 10OE on the net with the Alcatel Speedtouch USB ADSL modem, so this is how I did it! Before upgrading, go to one of the 10 Community update FTP sites, and get a copy of the Speedtouch Beta RPM (must be this one, the one on the 10CE CD wont work), and the updated PPP and PPP_PPPOA RPM's. Upgrade, and then use RpmDrake to uninstall the Speedtouch, ppp and ppp_pppoa packages that came with 10 Official. Use Software installer to install the 3 new RPM's (just double click the RPM files). Job done. Go into Drakconf, and enter New Connection, and set up the connection as you normally would. Job done. To test, in a console, as root, go to /usr/share/speedtouch/ and make sure that mgmt.o is still there. If it is, type ./speedtouch.sh start. You should be on the net!

Re: [newbie] CD burn verify
This isn't the first time I've installed MDK 10.0 (network upgrade from 9.2), and I'm beginning to suspect the CD is corrupt I have major problems when installing 10 from scratch (ie freshly formatted drive) also. I have 2 different CD sets from 2 different sources here, and the same happens with both. Normally it all goes wrong after the files have been copied, and it prompts you to enter the new root password. Enter it, and click ok, and the whole system just locks up, and the only way to get it back is to reboot, and then the install is totally shot, as X hasnt even been installed by that stage.. The only way I have found around it, is to intall 9.2 first, and then upgrade from 9.2 to 10. Unless anyone has any better ideas?

[newbie] 10OE and Speedtouch USB ADSL
Hi all.. I posted last week about the lack of functionality of the Alcatel Speedtouch 330 USB ADSL modem under 10 OE. I have tried everything to get it to work. With no success! It works fine under 9.2 and 10 CE, so why not 10 OE? Can anybody throw any further pointers at me? I have tried the 9.2 and 10 CE RPM's, in the hope that it worked under those 2 editions, it should work under 10 OE... not the case! Would there be any logs to indicate where the problems lie? I'm getting no error messages when I try to boot in terminal (./speedtouch.sh start), just the red failure mesage. Normally, on boot/network start, both lights on the modem begin to flash, with the USB light coming a steady green, then the ADSL light will come a steady green when connected. Now, the USB flashes, and the ADSL goes a solid yellow, and thats that. Help, I havent got much hair, but at this rate, I'll be totally bald! Many thanks, JRH

[newbie] K3B
Why oh why does K3B like to crash midway through burning an audio CD? It will burn data CD's all day long, with no problems. But, it will either crash at 50%, or just as it is beginnng to encode the final track. It has done this down the line from 9.2, through cooker and now CE. I'm fully updated, and everything is set as it should be. I watched the buffer status like a hawk during the latest burn, and not once did it drop below 96%, so I'm doubting it's an under run. Crashing on the last track I can live with, as I always add an extra track to what I want. But the 50% gets me steamed.. It wastes a CD! Any ideas?

[newbie] Windows LiLo
Hi all. Until a week ago, Windows used to share my HDD alongside Linux. Then, last weekend, MS-DOS decided it was going to ruin my Linux install (with a little help from me inadvertently I guess!). I have tried to survive without a Windows partition, but In reality, I cant. I have loaded up 98 onto an old 2GB I have lying around, and have installed it in the box, as a slave drive. Now the fun bit. DiskDrake is seeing it, and calling it /dev/hdd1. When I set LiLo to boot from this, it doesent happen. Probably because the drive isnt mounted at this point?? Any Ideas how I can configure the boot loader to pick it up, and boot into Windows from this drive? I flatly refuse to let Linux and Windows co-exist on the same drive anymore!! (if I could find Linux versions of the software I got, I would forget it totally!).

On the weekend I installed Mandrake 10 (install, not update). Install went fine. I then booted into KDE 3.2. It hung leaving the Mandrake wallpaper in the background. I tried again, this time I got a warning about Knotify not starting and asking me if I wanted to disable it. I did and it still hung. I then went into IceWM, fired up Kcontrol and turned off the sound in KDE (can't remember how I came to this conclusion). So now KDE loads. That's good. The trouble is that there are a number of apps that now will not support sound. I have tried setting KDE to use OSS and Threaded OSS and, although it will still load fine, I still can't get sound from the apps I want to use. In particular I'm having problems with, 1) XMMS - This one is strange. With ALSA it will not play. With OSS it will continually loop the first 1 second or so of the song until I hit stop. 2) Mplayer - Will play most movie files fine, but if you exit half way through the sound will loop around for around 5 seconds before stopping. 3) SDL game (not tried others) - There is no sound whatsoever. I tried recompiling the projects I'm working on and they simply can't get access to the sound. I know my hardware is compatible (Sony VIAO laptop) as I have been using MDK9 on it for over a year. Anyone got any suggestions, fixes, etc? It's very frustrating have all the benefits of the new KDE and general speed of everything but with such a let down in the sound department.

Hi All, I have a problem Every now and then, my mouse pointer will go totally mental, flying round the screen, opening up applications, minimizing windows, and generally doing it's own thing. Is this a problem with Linux or a hardware issue? I have a windows partition, and not once have I had the problem whilst running in windows. Any Ideas? JRH -- Sent using Kmail, on Mandrake Linux 10.

[newbie] MDK 10 and Drakconnect
Hi All, I'm currently downloading Mandrake 10. I downloaded and Installed Mandrake 10 RC1 a while back, and had some issues with Drakconnect, and my USB ADSL modem. The problem I had, was that unlike Mandrake 9.2, the auto detection wizard just wouldnt set the modem up properly. For example, the wizard would bring up a list, asking me to choose my ADSL provider. There was only 2 UK providers on the list, not one of them being my provider!. This, coupled with other problems, made for a non working internet connection, and it was uninstalled, and I went back to 9.2. Does anybody here have any experience of the Alcatel Speedtouch 330 USB ADSL modem and Mandrake 10?. Can someone offer a step by step guide to installation and config? (I have the modem firmware code, so dont tell me I havent installed that!) Many Thanks, James Hill Want to buy your Pack or Services from MandrakeSoft?

Re: [newbie] MDK 10 and Drakconnect
Lee, I have since upgraded from 9.2 to 10, and it shouldnt have really changed things much. However, I have my connection set to start at boot, both green lights began to flash on my modem, (as is normal), and then the ADSL light went yellow, and that was it, a failure message. I'm going to try setting it up with the Speedtouch package from the 9.2 Distro. The modem firmware code is the same as I have always used. Like you said, 9.2 is now history on this box. so if I cant get things to go my way, I'll reinstall 9.2, and let a Linux guru buddy of mine have a play with it at a later date.

You can choose them manually if the automagic install picks the wrong ones. Happened to me when it was already too late (9.2 was history on that box) I had to find someone with the same setup. He listed his config and I was running in minutes. Lee Want to buy your Pack or Services from MandrakeSoft?

Re: [newbie] Re: Some positive reviews for 10.0 Community
For RealPlayer and Acrobat, I suggest you take a look at the vendors websites. I have just been to adobe.com for acrobat for Winsucks, and there was a whole list I had to choose from. Linux, MAC, FreeBSD etc... as for realplayer, I'm sure I got the RPM for rp8 from the real site. If youre struggling, I have the RPM here, so I could always send it to you. On 9.2, Acrobat seems to be integrated into Konqueror, so thats what I use for .pdf work.

As for comparing releases, it's just about impossible. What is brilliant on one machine is a total disaster on others. 8.2 is lauded by most, but was a disaster for me. 9.0 worked, more or less and 9.1 was brilliant - I'm reluctant to change this box. There are no easy answers, but it's certainly an issue that has to be considered when thinking of giving linux to non-techy users. /snip Like you Anne, I was reluctant to install 10.0 what with having spent weeks to get 9.2 running well. But surprise : yesterday I shuffled the CD2 into the cupholder and lo and behold, one hour later 10.0 CE runs like a charm. Not only that, it runs about 30 % faster, especially KDE. And, for the first time, I took the option of installing the updates right away, during the initial install. Everything worked well. Only minor glitches (so far) : Now my printer (HP 3820) performs some (noisy) drills during the boot process - but after a while it works. I had a /data partition (hda4) on 9.2, but 10.0 insisted to mount it as /mnt/windows (it is a FAT32 partition), but I don't like to see that word on my otherwise clean machine. So I had to edit fstab in order to get things straight. I'm a little confused about the Mandrake Update. Seems that the normal update repositories are gone and all updates are on the same directory, just with higher version numbers. Haven't browsed that many mirrors, though. Although I'm a Club Silver Member, I haven't been able to get my hands on Acrobat Reader or RealPlayer, but I can live with that. All in all : what a nice experience !

Fw: [newbie] File Sharing
snipLots of them: Apollon, MlDonkey, LimeWire, etc/snip I use LimeWire, which not being as good as Kazaa, is more than adequate.

I have major problems with Apollon, It just wont install properly, using the so called all in one installer.

Re: Fw: [newbie] File Sharing
snipRPMs for Apollon are in plf for 9.2 and 10.0 together with gift-fasttrack (Kazaa) and gift-openft (Native giFT) plugins If you define plf as a urpmi source, then all the dependencies will be installed at once. You may find the fasttrack (Kazaa) plugin is not recognised until you use Advanced settings to point to the location of the fasttrack plugin/snip Many thanks for that Derek, Just as soon as I can get out of Microshaft Winsucks, I will get into Mandrake and have a play.

[newbie] MDK 10? Hmm.....
just managed to finally get 10 Community up and running, and I have a question: On 9.2, the login screen gave me the opportunity to manually enter my username. 10 does not appear to give me that option. I used to be able to log into KDE as root, and do things that way, to save time using command line stuff. I cant do that now. Is there a way to change the login screen at all, so that I can do this?. I had it once with 9.2, but I cant for the life of me remember how to do it! I'm getting a bit frustrated now, I need to change permissions on various things, and I dont know how to do it in shell so I need a GUI! JRH Want to buy your Pack or Services from MandrakeSoft?
