Software :: Update Printer Driver In Mandriva 2010.0?

I got 'Mandriva 2010.2 One KDE Europe - Americas' live image with a tech magazine as an .iso. The live usb image created with Unetbootin on my Mint 10 of the iso won't boot. All I get a warning no operating system or something. I tried the Mandriva-seed script but it gives an error

Quote:

GLib-GIO:ERROR:/build/buildd/glib2.0-2.26.0/gio/gdbusconnection.c:2270:initable_init: assertion failed: (connection->initialization_error == NULL)

Also tried the isotostick script too but it too won't work. Here is the error message

Quote:

Not verifying image...(no checkisomd5 in Ubuntu so skipping)!
./isotostick.sh: line 103: /lib/udev/vol_id: No such file or directory
USB filesystem must be vfat or ext[23]
Cleaning up to exit...

note that the file system of the usb drive is FAT32 and the md5sum of the iso is the same as that specified in the website !!

General :: Mandriva 2010: Map Keyboard Key To Firefox Search Bar?

Dec 10, 2009

I have a Nortek Diva keyboard and my machine runs Mandriva. In Mandriva 2009, pressing the "magnifying glass" button on my keyboard took me straight to the Firefox Search bar. Fantastic! Now that I've upgraded to Mandriva 2010, however, pressing the same button just launches the search engine as a new tab (okay, I can live with that), but the cursor is not active in the Search field.

I've been to the Nortek site but there are no drivers for the keyboard, Linux or otherwise. And no Nortek keyboard configurations appear in the Mandriva Linux Control Centre. I know how to use xev to capture keystrokes. What I'd like to know is, how can I map the keyboard button to position a cursor in the Firefox Search bar? I use Search A LOT, so this is really slowing me down. I bet it's something like "firefox %search".

Hardware :: Front Audio Jack Not Working - Mandriva 2010?

Apr 3, 2010

I have just migrated from windows to linux(Mandriva one 2010 with KDE4) and am a noob to linux.I Had never used Linux before. while everything is going on fine and am learning about it slowly. My problem is that though I am getting sound from my rear audio jack which is working perfectly, my front audio jack is not working at all. I am not getting any sound from it.... When in windows to disable front audio panel detection to get it warking. So I think there might be a similar workaround here... but that's just a guess. i am using a Gigabyte- GA31 MES2L motherboard which uses Realtek Audio Drivers.

Hardware :: Setup For An External Lite On DVD/Writer On Mandriva 2010?

Dec 1, 2010

I have had Mandriva ( 2010 Mandriva now ) and or Mandrake for years. On two computers I have Ubuntu for family members set up. My problems is with my old 586 I got setup with Mandriva at home. I did an update on my computer and my DVD disappeared and is not recognized in HAL. Now my old dvd player in drive dev1 is recognized. However, my external USB drive disappeared and I can't seem to even get terminal to mount it. Maybe the dev I think it is is wrong. I can't get terminal to display for me the drive to set it up at all. Now My bios does recognize it and can boot from it, but no player or program recognizes it.

General :: Mandriva 2010 Spring Running In Parallels Desktop 5?

Jul 23, 2010

have very limited experience with command line interfaces in Mac OSX (the OS that I'm used to). Please pitch any replies at the appropriate level My problem:I've installed Mandriva Spring 2010 Free in a Parallels Desktop 5 VM running inside Mac OS X 10.6 (Snow Leopard).Parallels has a set of tools that I need to install to make the VM play nicely with my host OS. It is here that I'm running into problems. When trying to install Parallels Tools I get a warning that 'Some components needed for parallels tools installation are missing in your system;. I'm offered the chance to download them automatically. This download always fails and I'm told that I need to download 'kernel sources' manually and try again.

After some considerable research (remember I'm TOTALLY new to Linux) I found out what this means and have installed what I believe are the correct files using the 'install and remove software' window. As I understand it, I need to download the source files of the kernel I am using (exactly the same version), so I now have:kernel-desktop-latest - Version 2.6.33.5ernel-source-latest - Version 2.6.33.5These are 'virtual rpm's that make sure i always have the latest kernel versions, which as I understand it means that I should have the latest kernel and corresponding kernels sources... but I still get the damn error message telling me to install 'kernel sources' when I try to run the parallels tools installer.

General :: Tethering Nokia To Mandriva 2010 - Rfcomm Showing ?

Oct 10, 2010

I'm trying to use my nokia n79 as internet modem for my laptop which has mandriva 2010 spring (free) installed. When i connect phone and computer with usb cable i can see my phone listed under 'gprs modem' but when i click 'connect' it says 'please wait' for a while then nothing happens.

I've tried using bluetooth and rfcomm to connect but the devices do not pair. Even l2ping isn't able to communicate with my phone.

When i use rfcomm with the connect command a dialog pops up on my phone requesting pin and i enter the one in my /etc/bluetooth/pin but then nothing happens and rfcomm exits saying connection refused.

Software :: Source Installation Not Working Correctly In Mandriva 2010.0 Pp?

Jun 5, 2010

So I just installed Mandriva and was trying to install alien so I don't have to deal with source anymore. This happened, tried other sources and the same error. Maybe I'm overlooking something simple, but this is killing me.

so, First I wget (url for alien). It finishes.

Then, I start the installation

Code:
me@localhost ~]$ tar xvzf alien_8.1.1.tar.gz
me@localhost ~]$ cd alien
that takes me to where it should. then

[Code]....

Am I doing something wrong with this? Why is the ./configure not recognized?
