I'm not sure if this is part of the question (but it's a problem I had this evening, and got round it be changing the jumpers back) Easiest way ;-) If device hda becomes hdb because the master/slaves have been swapped, how do you update the linux/mandrake installation to look on a different disk? If you really want to change it, then you will need to make changes to lilo.conf before you swap the jumpers. Method 1 - somewhat dangerous First, back up /etc/lilo.conf mv lilo.conf lilo.conf.bak Near the beginning of /etc/lilo.conf you will see a line like boot=/dev/hda That needs to be changed to hdb Then in each stanza you will find that root is being told where to look - in my case root=/dev/hde12 which is partition 12 on drive hde. Keep the partition number, but change the hda to hdb in every place you find it. When you've finished you need to run lilo /sbin/lilo Do be aware that if you get this wrong you will need a rescue disk to sort it out. Method 2 - Probably a safer way is to use your CD1. I think you press Esc when it starts up - there's an on-screen message, so you should see it. One option then is Rescue - and one option on that is to repair your boot menu. That will safely do it for you. I'm sorry I can't be more explicit at this moment but I'm sure you will find it. Anne if you change the jumpers and forgot to fix fstab, you can boot into the first install cd of Mandrake, instead of enter to install, type f1 and then ' linux rescue', that will bring up a set of utilities that will find, mount and fix fstab. -- linux counter #167806 (http://counter.li.org/) website=http://ed-tharp.kicks-ass.org; Want to buy your Pack or Services from MandrakeSoft?

Mike Put the first CD in and reboot, then choose the upgrade 10.1 and let it go to the last screen, then choose screen resolution and try resetting to a lower color setting like 16bpp or less, run a test and see if you get the rainbow. If so you will have a useable config and you can go to finish. and reboot. Thanks for the reply. I did as you suggested. The resolution was at 1024x786 (or something like that) and the color was already set at 16bpp, which was the smallest of available choices. I change the resolution to 1024x480, the next smaller choice. After reboot, KDE came up, but the smaller resolution is unworkable. I used harddrake to reset it back to 1024x786, rebooted, and got the same black screen. This is a dual boot with XP and XP works fine with the higher res. I have another monitor to try, but if that doesn't do it, I guess that 10.1 doesn't work with the graphics card, Intel 185. Mike Make sure the monitor selection is correct. It sounds like the higher settings are driving the monitor beyond its rating. By changing the frequency range that the monitor supports, you can probably get the regulation you want. You can also try setting the color depth to less the 16bpp. I am not sure what modes you are actual using, as the numbers you report are not standard ones... 1600 X 1200 1280 X 1024 1024 X 768 800 X 600 640 X 480 320 X 240 Mikkel is video card is also on-board and as such, in order to use the modes that may require more memory, he may have to pass a mem= xxxM on the lilo append line, or when booting. the xxx should be changed to reflect the correct amount of Memory available to the system.

used the update install to get a bootable but very buggy MDK 10.1
instalation... But if I give up trying to get that working right I'll
try another clean install and if the problem resurfaces I'll try your
suggestion... I wish I'd have remembered to try single user mode before
I gave up on it... (Sometimes I think I suffer from CRS {Can't Remember
Shi^H^H^HStuff} grin)
As to the likelihood of your other guesses, I never let a new install
span more than one partition. If it works, I might split it up later.
I told the installer to put the whole filesystem / in /dev/hda4
If anyone can see a good reason in this fdisk output why MDK 10.1
wouldn't like / /root on /dev/hda4, please do tell...

In her words ... My husband used that computer for business. He put a password on it so if anyone stole it they would be able to use it. I think he put a password on it so I couldn't see the emails he was writing to his little hussy girlfriends he had on the side. I didn't need a computer to tell me he was cheating on me. TMI, but I got a free computer out of it. Seems she got that along with the house and other things in the divorce. Long story short, the machine still has the CMOS or BIOS password on it. I plan to make it a simple workstation to learn and play on (of course installing Mandrake on it). How do I get in? If it is a BIOS password, they can be cleared a couple of ways. Your best bet is to go to the Compaq web site, and download the hardware manual for the machine, and find the section on clearing the BIOS password. You will probably have to partially disasemble it, and move a jumper or jumper two pins for a few seconds to clear it. This will also reset the BIOS to factory defaults. (There are programs to clear the BIOS password, but they are not much help if you need a password to boot...) You may also have a hard drive password. The only way I have found to clear those is to reformat the drive... Not a big deal if you are going to install a new OS anyway. Mikkel you can always remove the cmos battery and any other powersupply (not necessarily in that order) and clear the bios password, boot with knoptix and see what pOrn is on the hard drive I did not suggest that anyone ever do that with someone else's computer -- linux counter #167806 (http://counter.li.org/) website=http://ed-tharp.kicks-ass.org; Want to buy your Pack or Services from MandrakeSoft?

On the other hand, it's unlikely they could come up with something able to run on Linux. Another guess : were you running out of space on the /home partition ? - Some movies consume more than 2-3 GB ? - Do you have partmon running ? /home or /tmp or where ever bt is storing the download until it writes to the completed file? When I use bittorrent I always open ports 6xxx only. Never had a problem and I often leave it running for a considerable time after finishing the download.

I am a newbie to Linux and I have a related question: I have installed a couple of video capture programs and both complain about not having video4linux drivers. I've looked high and low for these drivers and the closest I've come is RivaTV (which didn't work). My graphics card is a Nvidia 5600. The graphics card does have a video out which I use successfully in WinXP (I dual-boot.) I am using Mandrake 10.1 community. My computer is a 2.6 ghz Asus motherboard with 512m ram onboard. If anyone knows a way of getting the video capture to work under this setup, it would be greatly appreciated. As I've stated, my main problem seems to be this video4linux as the video programs *do* work until they try to load this driver... that is because what you need is a method to get video in in order to capture video, you have a video out card. Actually, I expressed myself poorly, I guess. I *do* have a video in card (as I suspect many familiar with the Nvidia 5600 would already know). I *did* mention that I already am successful in capturing and watching video in WinXP. (FYI I broadcast my tv signal from downstairs to an x10 receiver upstairs in my computer room, which is connected to the Nvidia. I am able to switch channels from upstairs as I have a UHF remote which will work from anywhere in the house.) I would like to be able to do this from Linux so I don't have to switch to XP when watching tv in a box. :-) Anyone else with ideas as to how to do this? - Jack Ah so now i think that what you want would be to join the mythtv [EMAIL PROTECTED] mailing list, or search google for mythtv... I was just thrown by you saying it was TV out, as is my card, and I did miss the part where you said it was successfull in M$ os the mailing list is pretty active, and extreamly helpfull. hope that helps. -- linux counter #167806 Want to buy your Pack or Services from MandrakeSoft?

Sometimes that works. HTH yep and tried it blank, tried capitalizing all the names tried caps only for the first letters of all the names, and included kolab and kolab-server in all those names thanks for the thought... -- linux counter #167806 Want to buy your Pack or Services from MandrakeSoft?

And now for the answer: It is possible to change the colors, but it will require some reading of the Midnight Commander man page. Just look for the colors section. It has a very extensive guide to set up the colors you want.

BTW, I count Aron as a frien from the OT list, and I am sure that if he had had further problems, he would have asked a more specific question. the question, as I read it, was is it worth looking for the answer, or is this something that can not be done. also IMHO, RTFM is not an aswer to any specific question, thank you.

Re: [newbie] Re: Maelstrom and other games cause freezes after 9.2 - 10.0 upgrade

( His Linux switch story is here: http://mark.stosberg.com/Tech/linux_switch/ritchie.html ). I recently gave him my 10.0 CD set as I anticipate the new release coming out. So here's the 9.2 - 10.0 upgrade problem I'm trying to troubleshoot: Launching some games, like Maelstrom, now completely freezes the machine, when it didn't before. The cursor quit moving, and the keyboard completely quit responding. (Pressing Caps Lock doesn't even turn on the Cap Lock light). I tried capturing the output of the launch in a file: Maelstrom 21 file.txt After the necessary hard reboot, my file.txt isn't created. I tried using both 2.4 and 2.6 kernels with the same result. What else could cause something like this? There is one thing that is a little unusual about the machine: It was 200Mhz processor that I used a special upgrade kit to allow to take a 700Mhz processor. That has worked great, and has not been responsible for any problems that I've aware of. I checked the ChangeLog for Maelstrom and didn't see anything unusual around the 9.2 - 10.0 releases. Considering that other games have the problem, I imagine it's something more general. If you have ideas about the general direction I could look in, that would be appreciated! Thanks! Mark what video card? NVidia? download matching kernel source (to what ever kernel you are booting) and the respective NVidia *.run installer from NVidia to update the video to match the updated kernel might want the open GL files etc I found out the Video card is an NVidia Riva 128. This video card does not need special Nvidia drivers or kernel modules, and should be supported by the default nv_drv driver for X. Since I don't recall fussing with Nvidia drivers where I did the 9.2 install, this makes sense. Are there other things I could be looking for that might cause this kind of freeze? Thanks again! Mark this card sure shoulda had the NVidia Closed source drivers, perhaps you had a powerpack in 9.x that had the drivers included, and I promise, with this weak (as in not much memory, in relation to what cards today have) and old of a video card, if you want open GL games to run at a usable speed at all, you are gonna want to mess around and get the propriety drivers from NVidia. just go to NVidia's website and download the *.run file and download the kernel source for your default kernel from a Mandrake mirror. follow the instruction, and I bet you see a load of difference in open GL games. it is possible you have some services running that are eating your system memory too, so you might want to run 'top' from a text term, adn see if you have something chewing your CPU cycles, or eating memory space. but that will not make as much a diff as getting the closed source drivers for your video card.
