kamicota Posted April 24, 2004 Author Share Posted April 24, 2004 Hi Et-alWe ARE in MDK 10 BUT NOT in KDE we are in GNOME so OOPSY I Booted with the 263-7 not Linux whatever that option meant.So there seems to be some conflicts with KDEColin Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SonicDragon Posted April 24, 2004 Share Posted April 24, 2004 can you post:cat /etc/lilo.confI don't have much experience with mandrake or KDE, but bruno will be here tomorrow to help you out with that. I wonder if 263-7 is the 2.6 kernel? Anyway, congrats on the install! Gnome isn't so bad, but i'm sure we'll get KDE up and running somehow!

SonicDragon Posted April 24, 2004 Share Posted April 24, 2004 I can feel it now a forum kick up the rear AS I UPDATED MNK 10 from IceWM OOPSDoing the updates from IceWM should not be a problem. What happens when you run them? Did they finish. Are you "up to date"?can NOT find my Windows Drives in GnomeLooks for:/mnt/hda/mnt/windows/windowsIf none of those are there, you probably have to mount the drive. Open up a terminal and type:mount /dev/hda /windowsThen browse to /windows.*if you get an error such as "permission denied" or "only root can do that" etc etc, do this:su<password>mount /dev/hda /windowsFrom them on, you will need to be "su" before accessing windows, which is not ideal, but i'm sure bruno can come up with a fix as well as get it to "automount" Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

SonicDragon Posted April 24, 2004 Share Posted April 24, 2004 Actually, it's a good thing! It means that it's already mounted so we don't have to worry about doing that. All we have to do is find it -- do:cat /etc/fstaband post the results That will tell us where you're windows drive is hiding! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

SonicDragon Posted April 24, 2004 Share Posted April 24, 2004 ok... i think i understand what's going on nowYou have 3 windows partitions right? C, D and ESo C = /dev/hda1D = /dev/hda2E = /dev/hda3If you want to mount the C drive:supasswordmount /dev/hda1 /windowsC Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kamicota Posted April 24, 2004 Author Share Posted April 24, 2004 Yeah SonicI NEED to do that with all three C,D & E do I ???? or just C Colin Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SonicDragon Posted April 24, 2004 Share Posted April 24, 2004 I NEEDÂ to do that with all three C,D & E do I ???? or just CIf you want to be able to access all of them, you will need to do that with all three of them. However, those will stay mounted untill you shutdown the machine.Bruno can tell you how to automount them, so it does it automatically everytime you start your computer. I, unfortunately, don't know anything about how to automount a drive. It's midnight for me here so I'm going to go get some sleep. See ya in the morning. I'm sure Bruno will have some more ideas for us by them too ;)Good luck! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Bruno Posted April 24, 2004 Share Posted April 24, 2004 Colin, Colin . . . Colin, Colin . . . . . You are so impatient my friend ! . . . Okay a few remarks first:1). I told you on page one of this thread that PCLos would not yet be in Lilo and that I would help you to put it there after.2). Windows drives should not be mounted manually, they will be automounted at the moment you want to access them, BUT more about that later !3). I am not happy with KDE giving this error so we will do a new install all over again. You seemed to insist on the "1024 x 768 24bpp" what was MY configuration . . . Adam told you to do 16bpp what was already a lot better as it seems . . BUT you never went for the default that the wizard showed you . . Why ??4). I t is not really clear how you went about getting the updates . . . . = = = = = = = = = = = = = = = = = = = = = = = = = = = BUT: Let us do one thing at a time, we do a new install and this time at this screen:You pay extra attention to this: You see that button "Configure" on the line of "Graphical Interface" ??Now pay attention, and print out this part: All you do is press that button and at the screens you get after that you change nothing but only press OK ( or Next ) and go for what the wizard finds for you . . . you will get 3 or 4 screens with settings for monitor and graphic card that you simply accept without changing anything. ( Even if it is set at 800x600 with 256 colors !! ) After that there will be a question if you want to test the settings of the "Graphical Interface": You say YES and it will show you a multicolored screen . . if the screen looks okay you press "YES" and after that the "Graphical Interface" is configured and you make no more changes to it. ( Only note down what it says so you can post it on the Forum later )So in a nutshell: let the wizard do its work and accept whatever it finds are the best generic settings for your computerThen after that, you reboot using the "Linux" entry in the Lilo bootloader . . . . and wait till I am back online Bruno Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kamicota Posted April 24, 2004 Author Share Posted April 24, 2004 Righty Ho BrunoMandrake 10 installed again and STILL the hang up with KDE. I am in GnomeTh Wizard chose800x600 16 million colorsThe test screens I accepted as did NOT know what to expect There were Broad vertical lines down and then ascreen with multicolored dots??? on it and accepted even though unsureThe screen now is NOT full screen like it was after the 1024x780 choiceColin Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kamicota Posted April 24, 2004 Author Share Posted April 24, 2004 Bruno AlsoThe Generic Choice was 1024x780 @ 70Kh or MHertzColin Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kamicota Posted April 24, 2004 Author Share Posted April 24, 2004 BrunoUpdates were from nlug that I found on the choices available from different countries Why I think PCLos is gone because the on the first Install I left--->>>\data on hda9and continued with the install and did NOT Uncheck itAnd YES oh BOY YES this SCORPIO is SO IMPATIENT a trait I have yet to masterColin Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Bruno Posted April 24, 2004 Share Posted April 24, 2004 Hi Colin Great info ! . . . Well my conclusion is that either there will be updates that fix your KDE . . or your CDs have a fault on them. BUT we will see that laterand continue from here on ! What I have planned for tonight is: 1). Install anacron 2). Get the REAL updates 3). See if PCLos is still there and if so add it to Lilo 4). See if KDE is fixed with the updates and rebooting 5). Setting the screen resolution to 1024x780 @ 70Kh I will lead you step by step through this . . . . AND I even booted into Gnome to be able to give you exact instructions. So tell me when you are ready and we take off . . . Oh yes: if you get stuck on the Halt or reboot: press Ctrl+Alt+backspace . . this will take you out of the GUI . . then you can either reboot or shutdown.
