[newbie] Getting Xine to play .avi files
-BEGIN PGP SIGNED MESSAGE- Hash: SHA1 Hello all, I just upgraded to 10.1 and I am still having trouble getting xine to play avi files. I have been having this problem since 9.0.

[newbie] Installing Mandrake on 9.1 on ppc
Can anyone tell me the "successful" way install mandrake on a macintosh? I can't do this to save my life and I can't tell what my problem is. It seems my issue is with the install display which I don't have the first clue how to fix. Even if I do the install via text-installer, when I go to boot up my display is still all messed up. Can anyone tell me a good way to fix this if there is such a way? I am trying to install this on a bronze G3 Laptop. I have had the same issue installing on my blue and white desktop as well.

[newbie] Bash Prompt Missing?
Hello all, I recently posted about haingabout having a problem installing Java. Not it seems that while I was doing this, I screwed up some settings. I noticed that I when I logged into my machine that I got the intial wizard that comes up when you first install MDK. This is the on that asks you what type of Window manager you want to use and if you want to register and all that good stuff. I was actually shocked that I was able to log in at all. While those aren't so bad, I am noticing the one annoying thing now that is not working seems to be my bash prompt. Instead of getting [EMAIL PROTECTED] I get -bash-2.05b$ Once I do a source command to my .bashrc file things come up as normal with the exception of my alias' not working. Is there I way I can fix this particular problem? If I need to make the changes in the bash profile that works for all users I don't seem to be able to find that file in /etc or in / can anyone tell me where I can find it or what the name of it is. The name I looked for are .profile, .bashrc, .cshrc Thanks Lovell Want to buy your Pack or Services from MandrakeSoft? Go to http://www.mandrakestore.com Join the Club : http://www.mandrakeclub.com
[newbie] Install Java for MDK 10.0
Hello all, I have been trying for the past week to install Java on my linux box but I have not yet had any luck. Is there something I am missing? I went to java.com and downloaded the latest version of Java. Followed there directions for installing the .bin file (pretty straight forward). Once I did that I tried to go to a place the required java and it didn't load. Is there another way that I can install it or is there a directory that I need to reference with my firefox browser? Any help would be great. Thanks, Want to buy your Pack or Services from MandrakeSoft? Go to http://www.mandrakestore.com Join the Club : http://www.mandrakeclub.com
Re: [newbie] re: SSH
How did you set your firewall preferences when you installed Mandrake? If I recall, if it's set to high then it will deny port 22 as well. If you think you set it two high then you can lower it in your mandrake control center or if you want to keep it where it is, you can specifically allow port 22 while your firewall settings are at the same state.

[newbie] sound in mdk 9 vs sound in mdk 10
Hello all, I remember sending a post a while back about my sound not working on mdk 10 with the machine I had it installed all. Now it seems I am having the same problem but its slightly different. In the case of last time I was running mdk 10 on an old micron laptop and it didn't recognized my sound card until I rand the sndconf utility. In the case of this machine I am using at work I am running mdk 9 on an old micron desktop and it did recognize my sound card as a YMF-740C [ds-1L Audio Controller]. All seems fine until I try to play something on xmms. I can see the file playing but I don't hear any sound. I checked to make sure that the sound server was enabled, I made sure that the OS volume was up, and I made sure the the physical volume on the machine was up and I still don't hear anything. Can any one tell me of a utility that I can use to try and test sound wth different drivers or tell me how I can get these drivers to work? I did try re running sndconf but my system doesn't recognize that command (even as root) Thanks in advance guys! L

Re: [newbie] 10.1 PPC?
I have also had my issues with mandrake on the powerpc with regards to installing on my blue and white g3 or my bronze g3 laptop. I would much rather have mandrake then the mac os that is on it but when I go to install it, the gui comes up all funky and when I try installing in text mode it doesn't seem to install properly so when I go to boot up it acts as if there is no operating system on the disk at all. Or in some cases I get the same screen you do and nothing else from that point either. Is it that mandrake has problems with there installer for the ppc? Is there an alternate way of installing?

[newbie] vnc over ssh
Hello all, I am trying figure out what my issue with connecting to my linux machine via vnc over ssh. I had no problem connecting to my machine via ssh but my window manager got all screwed up. It was grey and black just as is was before I specified the session I wanted to displayed. Is there an extra entry I need to make in my xstartup script for vnc to work via ssh? I was told that when connecting via vnc is manages to start anther x11 session but I don't know how valid that statement iss since it seems to work without using ssh. Any help is appreciated..
