[expert] erroneous contrib synthesis.hdlist2.cz
Hi, I seem to have stumbled upon an oddity: I was trying to install gkrellm-themes, which is in the contrib repository, and indeed, drakconf lists gkrellm-themes-0.2-4. However, when trying to install it, I get a download error in the style of FTP couldn't RETR file. I found this to be weird, so opened gftp and checked out the FTP repository myself, only to find out that gkrellm-themes-0.2-3 was present, not 0.2-4. So I guess this is an error in the synthesis.hdlist2.cz file I use? Or did the naming change, and is this synthesis file not for the contrib part?

Re: [expert] NVIDIA Drivers RPM: Solution!
The easiest way is to get both SRC RPMS from nvidia web site then rebuild them (as per indicated in doc) then install them (kernel rpm first then GLX rpm). Then edit /etc/X11/XF86config-4 and replace (in the device section) nv by nvidia and double check you have load glx in the module section (it was already there for me). This from a fresh install of LM9.1 yesterday. It just worked without a hitch. Note: Most likely Fast Write and SBA Side Band Addressing will are disabled. check cat /proc/driver/nvidia/agp/status If someone knows how to activate those by default please let me know. /Fred On Sat, 2003-03-29 at 08:49, Francisco Alcaraz wrote: Patrick, I used the Nvidia rpms for 9.1 of textar (www.pclinuxonline.com) and dri is runing fine without any further XF86Config-4 change.

Re: [expert] 9.1 says No DISK drive!
Ron, I haven't tried this, so I don't know if it will work or not. What happens if you make a boot floppy to do your install, but use the floppy image from the 9.0 release that supports your on-board controller? Once booted, install 9.1 from your hard drive (that's what you're trying to do, right?). Another option might be, if you have the 9.0 CDs, boot to rescue mode and mount your drives there. Then, install 9.1 from your hard drive. Again, I don't know if the above will work, as I haven't tried it and ultimately, Mandrake needs to have a patch or a fix put out. But, it may let you get 9.1 installed and running until they do. Good luck, Joeb On Fri, 28 Mar 2003 16:32:54 +1100 Ron Stodden [EMAIL PROTECTED] wrote: Joeb wrote: What's on your IDE0 and IDE1?

Hello: I've just installed the new Mandrake 9.1 and found a problem with Kdvi, that do not display *.eps images.

In fact, if I change the dvi file to a different folder, as it must be, in the place where the image must appear there is a red box with an error message. So the problen is just that Kdvi do not render the images and displays an empty space where a figure must be. I don't know if this is a problem with my configuration (I reinstalled MDK but problem remains) or it is a bug in Mandrake's KDE 3.1.

Your old kernel says image=/boot/vmlinuz and initrd=/boot/initrd.img you need to make these point directly and the original vmlinuz and intrd.img or else both will boot to the new kernel and none for the old one. So for example image=/boot/vmlinuz-2.4.19mdk and initrd=/boot/initrd-2.4.19mdk.img and rerun lilo. This way if anything goes wrong for you you still can boot to the old kernel and all is repairable easily. Thanks, James. I already have that, as I have 8.2 on another partition, no longer used and soon to be removed. (I presume this just means reformat the partition and remove any reference in fstab and lilo?) Should be enough... Oh yeah rerun lilo after the edit.*grin*... James Anne Want to buy your Pack or Services from MandrakeSoft? Go to http://www.mandrakestore.com

My laptop (Toshiba Satellite 4090) is runing even vcd (xine) for the first time (previously nor linux neither windows could). Acpi is finally runing, but the resume function, I had enabled in the BIOS, doesn't run with acpi enabled :-( I have read that there is an acpi resume or hibernation function, but I can't find any documentation about it. Can anyone help me?, I like fan and other things controled in the laptop, but resume is usefull. Francisco, I /etc/sysconfig/ the file suspend have you tried to uncomment the last line SWSUSP_FORCE_SUSPEND_MODE=0 2 This uses your swap partition to suspend to hdd. I've tried it on my box and it worked like a charm... bit slow on the shutdown and resume but it works Oh yeah... you also need to add to the append line in your lilo.conf append=all the stuff you already have resume=/dev/hdaX where X is the partition number for your swap partition. Run lilo and then try the command pmsuspend. Just in case I'd recommend creating a second, duplicate lilo section with this so that, just in case, you can do a normal boot.
