I recently installed Mandriva 2008 spring on my laptop and have been trying to locate a video player that offers support for the .wma file type. i've downloaded Media Player with Wine but not even it works with the best success rate. Is there a different program or a site to get the .wma codecs for a KDE based program?

ok i am tired of windows... though wanna keep it aswell as linux..

but idk what to get

my laptop build is a Dell inspiron b130

 

it runs on:

Intel Celeron 1.5GHz

256 SDRAM

Intel mobile extreme graphics

and it currently has Windows XP home edition

 

 

i'm looking at ubuntu cos i want a basic OS n all since m still a noob...

but i wanna know what to get for a dual loader n how i'd use it..

so i can still run windows

n i want to be able to run my messengers(aim, yahoo, n windows live) on there which i know i can do yahoo..

but idk about aim n windows live if you can help with that too...

much appreciated

thanks

I am a newbie in linux and I am trying to use freenx to remote access my FC6 box (in LAN) in work place from my home windows box. My questions are:

 

1.To install free on linux, all I need to do is "yum install freenx"? Nothing else and not even downloading the package?

 

2.I cannot do port forwarding on the router in my work place, what can I do and what to fill in in the "Host" field in the NX client? I know both ext. and int. IP of the fedora box.

 

3.I did a "yum update", and it says "clearing bah bah bah/removing bah bah bah". After it is finished, it seems many things are removed, I can't even see the things in my panel.

I rebooted it, and it seems to be fine. I did "yum install freenx" again and it says "nothing to do".

I would like to ask is there is any data/program lose due to the "yum update"?

 

Thank you very much for any help. bow*

hi guys, i've Fedora 8 installed on this computer and i setup the wireless card on it yesterday by doing as follows

 

after doing that I added a new wireless connection in system-config-network and gave it an ip address of 192.168.0.3

 

i then activated it and all was cool, for a while, after an hour or so (don't know yet) all internet conectivity would die, i couldn't even ping my smoothwall (192.168.0.1)

 

note: on this same machine using a dell truemobil 1150 pcmcia card it worked 100% so maybe a broadcom firmware issue ?

 

here's what things look like when the internet dies

to get the above card working in Fedora 8 I did the following (as root)

 

get the latest firmware

The terminal states "You will have to enable component called 'universe'" when I try to install ndiswrapper.

Hey all.

 

I'm a complete noob to Slackware and Linux in general, been a Windows bunny until tonight.

Just installed Slackware on a spankingly new PC, and I'm having all sorts of fun trying to make things work, and for the most part I'm doing ok.

 

The one thing I haven't been able to problemsolve my way through is emacs.

When i try and load it, it throws the following error:

emacs: error while loading shared libraries: libXaw3d.so.8: cannot open shared object file: No such file or directory

 

Unsure how to proceed from here. Any help would be greatly appreciated.

 

 

Thanks!

I am using fedora8.

I donot see any entries for my hard disk partitions in the /etc/fstab file. But strangely all the partitions have a shortcut on the desktop !

is there any other place where these partitons are mounted from ?
