    Sound not working on Mandriva + Toshiba Laptop

    What sound card are you using? Did you check whether your card is detected? Go to System Settings and Soundcard Detection.

    You might want to try ejecting as the super-user.

    Did you check the md5 checksum? I'm still downloading FC4 now so I can't try installing yet.

    Sound Card not detected

    Hmm. That's weird. What version of CentOS are you using? I've only had sound card problems with RH8 so far. I've used onboard and SB Live! perfectly since then.

    drivers for USB pen drive

    Which distro are you using. The older ones would require manual mounting whereas the newer ones don't. Download usbview and chec if your drive is detected in the 1st place.

    ICT GCSE's - Shocking

    I can understand how you are feeling right now. My school didnt offer ICT when I took my GCE exam so I was really looking forward to enrolling into the IT course in the polytechnic. I had at this time already discovered GNU/Linux and was really fervent to learn more about IT. My illusion was completely busted when I went through my 1st week of study and I received my study plans. I was planning to take up the advanced programming module only to discover it was Java.(I had expected something like C or C++) I had no choice but to take the Computer Architecture module where I felt like crap cos we had to learn stupid stuff similar to what Malaris posted and the lecturer kept making stupid mistakes like Linux is a version of Unix, Solaris can only work on Sun hardware and Intel is the only processor brand for home users. I had enrolled into the course to learn something new and enrich my knowledge but instead I'm stuck there for 3 years learning what does CPU stand for. Haiz.

    New system set up, Mandrake 10.2 LE2005

    Source files are more commonly packaged as tar.gz however I've seen zipped ones as well. Anyway, it's better for beginners to stick with RPMs or shell installers for installing software. Even many experienced users don't install from source. It's messy and difficult to uninstall.

    I'm getting a Canon MP110 and connecting it to my 2nd com with Windows-installed on it.

    What if OS/2 lived?

    Does OS/2 still exist? It was before my time but I heard that it was pretty good. At least much better than the Windows OS of that time.
  25. That probably means the linspire driver is not released under a Free Software or Open-Source license and is thus proprietary software.
