[newbie] Desktop Background program
Hi all, Quick question: when I try and manage my desktop background I get the following error message. The diagnostics is: Possible reasons: An error occurred during your last KDE upgrade leaving an orphaned control module You have old third party modules lying around. Check these points carefully and try to remove the module mentioned in the error message. If this fails, consider contacting your distributor or packager. This occurs when I try and run the following on the command line: kcmshell background I believe that is the same command used on Kmenu-->System-->Configuration-->KDE-->LookNFeel-->Background What can I do to restore this (other than a complete reinstall). I installed KDE 3.3.2 from scratch from Thacs rpms (i.e. not an upgrade from 3.3.1 or 3.2).

[newbie] Secondary apps inside Opera
Hi all, I have a question about using secondary apps inside Opera. I am using version 7.54 Final of Opera. I can usually print fine the first time, then after that I get a bunch of Operand stack errors (out of the printer, but not the actual file, text, etc.). Also, I can view a pdf once and then it won't load any more after that. Is this common? Is there something I can do to fix the problem? I'm not sure where to start.

Also, if I change my PKG_CONFIG_PATH variable to point to the pango directory, then I get the same error message for a different library (mono.pc, etc.). Is there a way to get the PKG_CONFIG_PATH variable to look inside multiple directories?

[newbie] Another Sound Issue (with 10.0 Official)...
Hi All, I've been following the other sound problem threads and can't solve this little problem. Here is the situation: Hardware: Abit nv7-133r, nVidia GeForce3 ti200, 512MB RAM, nforce chipset, Athlon XP1500+ Distribution: Mandrake 10.0 Official Problem: NO SOUND (AUAUAUAGGHHH!) I get the following error when running XMMS, etc. (no matter which sound plugin I use). "Couldn't open audio Please check that: Your soundcard is configured properly You hae the correct output plugin selected No other program is blocking the soundcard" I start up MCC and go to the hardware section. It lists my sound card as an nForce MCP Audio Processing Unit (Dolby Digital) (which is correct). The driver is the i810_Audio driver (which is correct). It states, "Here you can select an alternative driver (either OSS or ALSA_ for your sound card (Nvidia Corporation|nForce Audio Code Interface). Your card currently use the OSS "i810_audio" driver (default driver for your card is "i810_audio")" Is this a problem between OSS and ALSA? If so, how do I change/fix it? Which is better? Below my sig is the output from the troubleshooting commands in MCC. Thanks a bunch!

I tried using wget to see if that would improve things. It didn't. I
let it sit all weekend and it still was unable to add the source.
However, I logged into the MandrakeClub site and found a mirror there
that works (I was able to update about 120MB worth!). It was an http
source (from planetmirror) so I don't know if I'll ever get an ftp
source to work! Oh, well. At least I can run updates!

Hi John,
I'm running Mandrake 10.0CE and had initial problems with my nforce
chipset (not the nforce2 chipset, don't know if there is a difference in
getting audio to work). I set my driver to be nvaudio inside MCC and
then ran alsaconf from the command line. It seems to be working across
the board for me now (xmms, unreal tournament, etc.).
Hope that helps!

[newbie] Sound - OSS, Alsa, or ???
Hi All,
I am trying to get sound to work on my box. I am running 10.0CE (very
nice by the way). It has solved some issues that I had with 9.2 but now
I cannot get sound to play nice.
I have an Abit NV7-133R motherboard with the nforce chipset. It has the
nforce audio processor built-in. It's default driver should be
i810_audio, which is what I have it set to. I ran the troubleshooting
commands given from MCC. Here is the output.

[newbie] Speeding up X
Hi All, I am running Mandrake 9.2 with KDE as my desktop environment. I have a fairly fast box (Athlon XP 1500+, 512MB RAM, GeForce3 Ti200). X seems to be a little on the slow side. If I'm browsing the Web in whatever browser my mouse is really unresponsive until the page has finished loading. Waiting for Evolution to check my mail slows the mouse down in the same manner. Is there any way to improve the overall speed of X or is this "just the way it is"? Thanks! Travis Crook Visions Beyond Want to buy your Pack or Services from MandrakeSoft?

Any ideas? I got it to install and it plays fine (with Mandrake 9.2, nVidia drivers). I had to manually mount and unmount the cdrom (as root) for the setup to work. Also, when it prompts you to change the cd for cd one it is really asking for cd two. Good luck and happy fragging! Travis Crook Visions Beyond Want to buy your Pack or Services from MandrakeSoft?

[newbie] RAID under Mandrake
Hi All, I'm looking at getting a RAID card to put in my box. I'm running Mandrake 9.1 and wondered what would be the best card. Here is what I'm looking at so far: Promise SuperTrak 100 or 66, 3WARE DiskSwitch AccelerATA 8 port UDMA100 EIDE RAID Card, or the Promise FastTrak 66 or 100. What I would like to know is: which one is best supported under Linux (i.e. in kernel, with drivers, etc.)? which one is the easiest to install? I would like to eventually do RAID level 5 but I will start with RAID 1 and go from there. I have looked on Google to find support and on the respective Web sites but would like to know if anyone has specific experience. Thanks!

Mandrake 9.0 was quite easy to install. Just read the package
definitions when you install to see if it is something you may want.
I haven't had any major problems using it. It will definitely be
different than running windows so if you haven't used linux before
just be patient!

[newbie] Fatal Error installing 9.0 beta 2
Hi all, I am trying to install Mandrake 9.0 beta 2 (having heard many good things about it). I downloaded the first CD, burned it and booted my machine with it. The usual welcome to Mandrake Linux...To update or install... Press Enter. I pressed enter. Then I received this lovely error message. Error in exec of stage2 :-( trying to execute /usr/bin/runinstall2 from the installation volume. the following fatal error occurred FATAL ERROR IN STAGE 1: Not a directory I can't recover from this. You may reboot your system. Is this due to a bad ISO burn? How do I check the md5sums to make sure that the download was okay? Any help is greatly appreciated.
