Hi, I had the same sort of problem with my Vaio... Let me guess - XMMS won't play, KDE crashes on startup, Mplayer is flakey? Check your sound driver in DrakConf (go to Hardware and configure the sound driver from there). I noticed that the sound driver that Mandrake was using was different to

[newbie] Digital Camera and Mandrake 10

2004-03-25 Thread Sweeney, Stephen
Hi All, I've got a small problem with my digital camera and Mandrake 10. Before, with MDK9.0, I used to plug it into the USB port and mount it on /dev/sda1 (set as vfat) and that would work fine. When I plugged the camera into MDK10 my USB mouse stopped working and I am unable to mount the

[newbie] Fixed My Sound (MDK 10)

2004-03-23 Thread Sweeney, Stephen
Hi All, I have just fixed my sound so I thought I'd share exactly what I did incase anyone else is still struggling. I'm running Mandrake 10 CE on a Vaio Laptop. The install went perfectly but KDE crashed instantly and continued to do so until I switched off the sound using Kcontrol via IceWM.

(sorry if this comes out a bit long, but I'd like to make sure that I've explained everything). 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

[newbie] Joypad only available to root in MDK9.0

2004-03-10 Thread Sweeney, Stephen
Hullo, I've got myself a PSX-USB converter and it seems fine under Mandrake. I just plug it in and it is detected and works okay. Just one small problem is that the joypad is only available to root. If I run a prog as a normal user it says that it doesn't see any joypads. The same prog when run

[newbie] USB mouse stops responding...

Hi All, Just a quick one here... I've got a USB mouse plugged into a Viao laptop and it works fine... But sometimes when I start DrakConf or start up an external USB ADSL modem the mouse stops responding. It's a bit of a weird one... Anyone know what might cause this? Thanks, Stevie :)

Just read the bit in the link about removing KDE altogether in order to upgrade to 3.2... Is there another way? I would rather not uninstall KDE and then do the whole urpmi thing for it to fail... That would be real nasty... Could I add KDE to the skip.list and upgrade the rest of the system

Hi All, I tried the update over the weekend and after about 3 hours or so of getting packages I thought it was done, but when it went to do the final install it stopped and told me that Apache 1.3 clashed with Apache 2, both of which urpmi download itself. I also got an error message about
