Nice :).

When will the transparency torrents be avaliable?

Javier.

javiermv | 06.10.2005 at 04:10 PM

HOW IS IT POSSIBLE?????

I have written several mails about the fault of transparent proxy torrents in the downloads section. All with the enough time to have them activated to this moment, when 2006 is made avalaible for club members.

We have always the same problem. I'm very angry. This is incredible.

Michal_Laclavik_58 | 06.10.2005 at 04:10 PM

Thank you Jesus, finally :-)

Arkub | 06.10.2005 at 04:13 PM

javiermv, Can you try accessing the torrents using the https port (https://club.mandriva.com) instead of http port? For some members it's a workaround to transparent proxies. If that doesn't work for you, what about requesting an FTP access to the ISOs using the form Mirror Request?

javierrivera | 06.10.2005 at 04:19 PM

Don't know about javiermv, but it does work nicely for me.

Thanks.

Javier.

koriordan | 06.10.2005 at 04:22 PM

Attempting to download now but getting quite a lot of connection problems. I get a lot of FileNotFoundErrors when connecting to tracker, sometimes the tracker is okay, sometimes I only get a dht connection. I can't see any seeders or peers.

grimjfoot | 06.10.2005 at 04:25 PM

ALLELUIAH! ;)

I was waiting for this moment to reinstall my home PC and "port" my wife from win2000 to linux…

javiermv | 06.10.2005 at 04:25 PM

Ok, that's worked for me too, but, why this is not explained or linked in downloads section?

Anyway, thank you very much Arkub.

javiermv | 06.10.2005 at 04:30 PM

One thing more. The reason i didn't ask for an FTP acces is because my problem had an easy solution, and i didn't want to make use of a recurse that other people really need.

javierrivera | 06.10.2005 at 04:40 PM

You are probably accesing the site through a "transparent proxie". Please, use the fix that Arbuk suggested above, use:

https://club.mandriva.com

Javier.

P.D.: Oh, yeah!. First Post ;P.

David_Crick | 06.10.2005 at 05:44 PM

What about Club access to the Download (or Free, or whatever it's going to be called) Edition?

Luiz_Cardoso_942 | 06.10.2005 at 05:47 PM

I am a club member and all I wanted, once I log in, is a simple, straightforward list of links to FTP sites to download the 2006 ISOs. But I can't find any such links in the club pages. Why is it so complicated to perform such a simple task? Since the Mandriva team is not capable of realizing the basic needs of a normal user (I'm not a hacker or IT professional), I wonder if club members could help me. Thanks.

frosterrj | 06.10.2005 at 05:59 PM

you have to request FTP access if bit torrent won't work for you. Its not you, there are no FTP links listed (on purpose). Go to the Downloads section, click on "My Torrents" and you can choose 2006 x64 or regular x86.

Robert

Arkub | 06.10.2005 at 06:36 PM

Dear Luiz, Please use this form for requesting such an access! You will receive an account a few minutes after.

Of course, everyone remember to read the release notes and Errata:

http://qa.mandriva.com/twiki/bin/view/Main/MandrivaLinux2006ReleaseNotes http://qa.mandriva.com/twiki/bin/view/Main/MandrivaLinux2006Errata

the Release Notes gives useful notes about changes and so forth, and the Errata gives details of known problems. I'd particularly draw people's attention to the Errata note on 99% CPU usage caused by logrotate.

mcordero | 06.10.2005 at 10:08 PM

strange, i only get 1-6 kb/s… I could just as well start using my old analog modem. It's VERY frustrating. I wait more than one week for the seeders to work and I get the same download speed as before. Early seeders don't seem to work (at least for me). BTW: My firewall is completely down…

gmlack | 06.10.2005 at 10:08 PM

Where are the links to the bittorrent files?

I can't find any on teh pages that the announcemnet links to.

(I'm assuming the iso images are there...)

Arkub | 06.10.2005 at 10:28 PM

gmlack, The links are available in the Downloads section, or directly at following page: My Torrents

ngaio | 06.10.2005 at 10:44 PM

Yes mine is running slowly also. I have no idea why. When I first started downloading it was extremely fast, e.g. 100+kbps. But after about 5 mins of that it became very slow, and has largely stayed that way.

d242b | 06.10.2005 at 10:48 PM

ourcraft | 06.10.2005 at 10:52 PM

I am suddenly not able to connect, nothing but error messages. I tried the https and it says after I click that the tmp file is not a valid response file, and the one i saved to the desk says tracker not found.

d242b | 06.10.2005 at 10:53 PM

could someone post the md5 checksums for the PowerPack DVD (i586 and x86_64) torrents, please! Or are the files custom per user?

I seem to have two problems. 1) I am now getting 0 length files. At first I got what appeared to be proper files. I have tried downloading with both Konqueror on HTTP and Mozilla on HTTP and HTTPS

2) I am getting "got bad file info -". The header file looks ok. The non 0-length files I managed to download (the i586 DVD torrent) with both Konq and Moz appear to be identical (diff and md5sum).

Help! :>

gmlack | 06.10.2005 at 11:02 PM

Yes - I found them in the end.

However:

a) The *-Powerpack-2006-DVD.i586.torrent is actually an xml-formatted Java error message

b) The *-PowerPack-2006-DVD.x86_64.torrent is a bittorent file, but attempting to use it gives:

These errors occurred during execution:--… 21:58:04? got bad file info -

ourcraft | 06.10.2005 at 11:16 PM

Please fix whatever problem has arisen. I can no longer connect, I can longer see the tracker, and trying to get a new torrent started results in a zero length file no matter if I try to start bittorrent with it or save it locally.

ourcraft | 07.10.2005 at 01:55 AM

Working again -

Raxal | 07.10.2005 at 03:03 AM

Help! I am a silver memeber, but I cannot find the link to download Mandriva 2006. Can I have a http link? My email is raxxal@yahoo.com

cokray | 07.10.2005 at 07:22 AM

Common guys, I just shelled out $120 for a Silver membership, and so far I have a torrent, for the 2006 DVD Powerpack, that after running for 5 hours has completed a total of 0.1% and is currently downloading at a blistering 0KB/s. So I requested FTP/HTTP access, and got an email with three servers. One of them won't let me in using the provided credentials, another averages about 2KB/s, and the third dosen't even have the DVD ISOs on it. I expect this sort of thing for free software, but I just paid a fair sum of money for it!

sweinst | 07.10.2005 at 07:32 AM

Yes I agree it's incredible that after several years that we still have to wait several weeks before having access to transparency torrents!

NB:

The https://club.mandriva.com does provide exactly the same torrents then http://club.mandriva.com
My previous experiences with the HTPP/FTP sites are desastrous:

= only 2 in 10 sites have the right images! = the speed on these sites are so sloooooooow!

Serge

pepexxj | 07.10.2005 at 07:39 AM

Eso, me estoy desilusioando

magnim2k4 | 07.10.2005 at 07:42 AM

I was getting 0-4KB/s when attempting to download the ISOs, so requested FTP/HTTP access. FTP worked like a charm, and was getting 370+KB/s.

ourcraft | 07.10.2005 at 07:58 AM

Read the FAQ on bittorrent, you will learn how to use it. ftp's are not necessarily faster. If the total demand for a file is greater than the bandwidth bottlenecks occur.

cokray | 07.10.2005 at 09:09 AM

I have RTFM, and I have all the required ports open in the firewall and no restriction on max upload rate, yet I still get < 4KB/sec. I can only assume that relatively few people are downloading the Powerpack DVD edition.

aribaud | 07.10.2005 at 09:25 AM

Sure: read the top of the MyTorrents page, the request link is there (make sure you are logged in as a silver member though).

sitor | 07.10.2005 at 09:35 AM

Started Torrents here at work last night. Left my laptop here for the night. When I came at work this morning, seems everything was downloaded during the night. I'm seeding now at 40 kB.

For me this works OK. Much better then trying to get into an overloaded FTP server. Maybe it will become even better if next time there would be even more early seeders (I don't dare to do this at work, and at home I have too limited capacity (I'm limited to 10GB up + down for a whole month, so if I would become early seeder, I would fast run out of my 10GB and not be able to surf anymore).

Now I'l start burning.

Ciao,

Sitor

b | 07.10.2005 at 09:56 AM

I was uploading 80 k/s for Powerpack DVD just this morning, though my download hasn't finished yet (speed fluctuates between 15 and 300 k/s)

This time it is much better for people like me who cannot use Bittorrent. I requested a http/ftp acces yesterday evening around 6 pm. Within an hour I've got an email with a username and a password and links to the download servers. In about six hours I was able to download the seven isos for the Powerpack edition. So, at least for me there is no reason to complain: All servers had the right iso images and the download speed was excellent.

Martin

maripa | 07.10.2005 at 10:34 AM

Mandriva - you've got to be kidding with the absolutely terrible information/links you provide to download 2006.

I have just requested the HTTP/FTP access to the 2006 version and every single link it has given me refers to 2005 ISO's!

And i only found these links by reading these comments not by being directed to them in your email to Silver Members!

What is the point of being a Silver Memeber if even your email advising 2006 is available wont give correct links.

So .... tell me … where is the refund link page - this is the most appalling service i have ever got and continues to get worse as the years go on.

Either you guys hire some people who can actually speak English as their mother tongue anbd know what it means to only speak English or get out of the English language web page business entirely!

i am not (again) impressed with this atrocious disregard for non-French speaking people.

XAVIER_MOUCHERON | 07.10.2005 at 10:36 AM

as-tu vérifier que les ports nécessaire à bittorrent sont ouverts ?

??? I requested HTTP/FTP access yesterday and I've got three links for downloading the Powerpack iso images for silver members. All servers contained the 2006 isos (and LE2005 or 10.1 isos) and the download speed was excellent.

I'm currently downloading between 16-23kps and uploading at 26-33kps. It's been downloading all night with only 14% complete so far.

I hope it speeds up a lot more during the day.

ComesFuxii | 07.10.2005 at 05:58 PM

Bonjour,

La surcharge du serveur est telle que je n'arrive même pas à voir les liens de téléchargement ! Un peu de patience s'impose !

jtiner2 | 07.10.2005 at 07:48 PM

Sometimes ISP's limit certain ports used for P2P applications. try changing the port you are using for bittorrent to something other than the default. that might work to get you a little more speed. of course, it might not do anything for you, but it's easy to try…

mbramble | 07.10.2005 at 09:08 PM

Make sure you are logged in when and then look at the top of this page. You should see a DOWNLOAD NOW link. Click on that to take you to a page that shows what packages you are eligible to download.

John P | 07.10.2005 at 10:05 PM

Kinchstev, if you go to the Club home page, it says, near the top, DOWNLOAD NOW. That is a link which will lead you to the torrents or to a form to request FTP/HTTP servers.

ComesFuxii | 08.10.2005 at 01:56 AM

Autant pour moi ! J'avais mal vu le lien de téléchargement ! M'enfin, vivement le retour complet du site (avec le forum)) ;-)

Juan FM_9011 | 08.10.2005 at 05:29 AM

If your download using torrent is really slow (sub 10k range) then first check that you have the right ports open in your firewall for Bittorrent (that was my first issue). Do a search in google with the following terms:

open ports router bittorrent

and add the brand name of your router.

Secondly, the upload you'll want to set as high as you can go and still leave yourself a confortable (at least 2-3k) amount of bandwith. So if your connection allows up to 30kBps up (about 256 kbps) then you may want to set your upload to 25kBps. You have to acknowledge packets to get the next ones quickly! Hope this helps!

natrix79 | 08.10.2005 at 08:48 AM

bitorent marche plutot bien pour moi (300KB/s en dw et 90 KB/s en up) j'ai une connexion free degroupée testé à 650 ko/s. je me connecte a travers un routeur (le freebox) et derrière un parefeu (shorewall). J'ai rediriger les port TCP 6969, 6881 à 6999 vers la machine qui utilise bittorrent et ouverts ces meme ports sur shorewall.

j'ai aussi limité l'upload à 200

au tout debut le debit était de 5 KB puis est passé à 60KB avant que je n'ouvre les ports.

good luck

natrix79 | 08.10.2005 at 09:35 AM

je pense que c'est ton gestionnaire de tel qui ne voit pas tout. j'ai eu la meme impression en transferant l'image d'un pc à un autre via konqueror. Il m'annocait 342 mais une fois atteint ce chiffre il a continué. En console avec la commande ls -H -all l'image fait bien 4,4 Go.

natrix79 | 08.10.2005 at 09:37 AM

la commande est

ls -h -all

deanyit | 08.10.2005 at 03:36 PM

Please can you explain how you edited the binary torrent file to insert the "s" to make the word "https" text appear in the torrent file.

Please can you state which editor program that you used.

Thanks.

freda2999 | 08.10.2005 at 04:01 PM

I downloaded the new Mandriva 2006 version and installed it. Everything seems great, except for one thing: The chat mechanism on my Mozilla web browser no longer works, despite having J2RE running on the system, and the broken Mozilla Firefox browser remains broken. The latter opens, but the page is blank; none of the pulldown menus work, I can't type addresses and I can't open more than one browser window at a time. Really useful (NOT). I wanted to CHAT to fix the Mozilla Firefox problem, as Mozilla.org paid help line says it HAS NO SOLUTION to this problem. But now the CHAT is broken too. The instructions for installing JAVA on Mozilla do NOT address my problem. I'm NOT happy. Anyone who can help me with this complex situation, please email redhen898-online@yahoo.com

eduard_6972 | 08.10.2005 at 05:05 PM

sorry dont have any solution for you.

for me all goes well, only one problem, when I install powerpack 2006, I have problems with libqt3-devel, it doesn't install. any suggestion?

deanyit | 08.10.2005 at 05:26 PM

I'll answer my own comment. The idea is to NOT to edit the torrent file but to influence the way it is created.

Use the url https://club.mandriva.com and select your torrent file as you did before. The created torrent file will be different to the non-working one from http://club.mandriva.com. Magic ??

hnarf | 08.10.2005 at 06:43 PM

Merci pour l'info concernant les ports à ouvrir, ça change vraiment du tout au tout

FCReid | 08.10.2005 at 07:17 PM

Am I missing something or is ProFTPd no longer among the packages on Mandriva 2006?

zeb | 08.10.2005 at 07:25 PM

It is on the distribution mirrors, some servers had been removed for space reasons. Just add main and contrib from your nearest mirror to your rpmdrake/urpmi base and use rpmdrake or urpmi to install or upgrade proftpd. Then you'll have access to the whole distribution. http://easyurpmi.zarb.org/ may be a good tool to add media.

zeb | 08.10.2005 at 07:27 PM

A DVD cannot contain the whole distribution (which is on mirrors about 10GB big). Have you checked on the mirrors (main and contrib) ?

zeb | 08.10.2005 at 07:29 PM

Is it in the shapecfg package ?

urpmf cbq

shapecfg:/etc/rc.d/init.d/cbq shapecfg:/etc/sysconfig/cbq shapecfg:/etc/sysconfig/cbq/cbq-0000.example shapecfg:/usr/share/doc/shapecfg-2.2.13/README.cbq

If yes, find it in the mirrors (main or contrib). You may want to add the media and contrib mirrors as urpmi media. Cheers.

jfrlt | 08.10.2005 at 07:54 PM

After downloading - took me a whole day - I'm now using the new Mandriva 2K6 powerpack. Thanks a lot for this very good job ;-)

Un grand merci a tous les contributeurs Mandriva ;-)

Torrent has been fantastic this time around, just over 5hr for the 4CD's. Currently seeding (share @ .921) uploading at 50kb..

Only one problem...I have screen problems in the respect that there is an oblong vertical black block that follows my cursor; verry annoying. Anyone have this problem?

newimr | 09.10.2005 at 12:38 AM

le forum n'a jamais cessé

Richard_Neill | 09.10.2005 at 04:23 AM

Is there any way to download only CD1 by bittorent? I've found from experience that it is much easier to install a base system and then add packages later - and it's also much more bandwidth friendly.

Also, I'd explicitly like to only have the GPL distro. I pay for the Mandrakeclub in order to support Mandriva - but I don't want to have any of the proprietary stuff installed.

thomasan | 09.10.2005 at 04:36 AM

Yes you can download just CD1. After you pick the normal CD1-CD4 torrent file, your bittorrent client should prompt you with a list of all the iso's in that torrent. Just select CD1 as your only download.

Thomas

drodrig | 09.10.2005 at 04:46 AM

J'ai pu télécharger le DVD de la MDV 2006 dès le premier soir grâce à Bitorrent. J'avais commencé avec un site FTP dédié et très vite Bitorrent s'est révélé meilleur (à condition d'autoriser un upload élévé - au moins 100 Kb/s) avec plus de 120 kb/s de download en début de soirée (et plus après mais je me suis couché pendant le téléchargement).

J'ai déjà upgradé 2 machines avec la MDV 2006 (1 portable et 1 desktop), machines qui étaient sous MDK LE 2005.

J'ai eu quelques soucis.

Dans mon cas, il a fallu que je désactive dkms (que je n'ai jamais beaucoup apprécié). Sur mon desktop avec une carte graphique Nvidia 6600 GT, je me suis trompé de driver à l'installation et je me suis retrouvé avec le nvidia_legacy 7174 (au lieu du nvidia 7676). Et depuis que le "legacy" est installé, impossible de l'enlever :

rpm -e nvidia_legacy-kernel-2.6.12-12mdksmp-7174-1mdk erreur: %preun(nvidia_legacy-kernel-2.6.12-12mdksmp-7174-1mdk.i586) scriptlet failed, exit status 127

Et dkms s'est entêté à vouloir utiliser le 7174, même après réinstallation du 7676. Je n'avais alors aucune accélération matérielle 3D de ma carte graphique récente. J'ai fini par dégager DKMS, ce que j'avais aussi fait précédemment sur la LE 2005. J'ai réinstallé le driver Nvidia 7676 directement à partir du fichier récupéré chez Nvidia.com (ce que je recommande). J'ai désinstallé dkms (urpme dkms), après avoir également recompilé mon kernel (pour que le driver Nvidia puisse s'installer, le kernel devant avoir été compilé avec la même version de GCC que celle de l'install du driver Nvidia).

Je n'ai pas encore réglé le problème de l'accélération graphique sur mon autre machine : un portable IBM T42P avec une ATI Fire GL… Je n'arrive plus non plus à avoir le Wifi avec WPA (via la carte wifi de la freebox), ce qui marchait impecc avec la LE 2005. Mon voyant wifi clignote mais le "wpa_gui" montre que la connection n'arrive pas à ce stabiliser (ou est d'ailleurs passé le /etc/wpa_supplicant.conf ?)

J'ai aussi quelques soucis avec squid :

[root@ ~?]# /etc/init.d/squid status squid est arrêté squid: ERROR: No running copy [root@~?]# /etc/init.d/squid restart Arrêt de squid : ÉCHEC? init_cache_dir /var/spool/squid… /etc/init.d/squid: line 54: 16446 Abandon $SQUID -z -F -D >>/var/log/squid/squid.out 2>&1 Lancement de squid : /etc/init.d/squid: line 53: 16448 Abandon $SQUID $SQUID_OPTS >>/var/log/squid/squid.out 2>&1 ÉCHEC?

Là aussi, ça marchait bien sur la LE2005.

Autre problème : KAT. C'est une vraie cochonnerie. Je m'explique. Après son installation et avoir essayé de créer un catalogue, une merde noire s'est installée sur mon disque dur. J'ai du rebooter avec le DVD MDV 2006 et passer en mode "rescue" pour faire un "fsck.ext3 /dev/hda6" pour récupérer mon système. J'ai aussitôt désinstallé KAT. Vous pouvez jeter ce chaton-là avec l'eau du bain ...

En définitive, je ne suis pas très impressionné par cette nouvelle version de ma distribution préférée et je regrette pour le moment ma LE 2005. J'espère que la 2006 n'est pas une mauvaise série comme parfois il en sortait chez l'ex-Mandrake et que les choses vont s'arranger afin d'avoir un desktop plus stable et plus robuste.

Mesdames-Messieurs de chez Mandriva, arrangez nous tout cela rapidement SVP.

sprocketboy | 09.10.2005 at 09:12 AM

Two questions:

1) Any idea when the "Club Commercial" urpmi site for this distro will actually go online? I get an "Error 403" when I try to add this medium via urpmi.

2) I guess the fact that your Mirror Finder doesn't list any "Update" sites means that you've decided this distro is perfect? ;-)

newimr | 09.10.2005 at 01:12 PM

It should the 13th.

briand@modulone | 09.10.2005 at 01:35 PM

je n'ai pas pu installer ou upgrader la powerpack 2006. Je l'ai téléchargée avec bittorrent, puis graver avec k3b. le message est le suivant : fopen (stage1.c : 348) failed : no such file or directory. D'ou vient le problème et comme puis-je y remédier ?

I have tested the Mandriva 2006 and i am very hapy to see that the new version is very stable

Peter_Whitworth_611 | 09.10.2005 at 04:08 PM

2006 features an install bug that was present in earlier versions so I can't load it :(. Is Bugzilla getting 2006 added, or are we still to use Cooker? BTW, even if I can't load it - it looks good!

mbramble | 09.10.2005 at 05:11 PM

See the Errata at: http://qa.mandriva.com/twiki/bin/view/Main/MandrivaLinux2006Errata

The last entry is about mozilla-based software that was installed during the installation of 2006. I un-installed/re-installed firefox and thunderbird and they are working fine now. Then I tried to view a pdf document in the browser and when Acrobat Reader came up it locked up my PC. I have now un-installed/re-installed Acrobat Reader and it works correctly. Looks like anything related to mozilla software is gonna act up until fix is in (or u re-install them).

If you go to the Bugzilla link in the article, there is an entry at the bottom:

Comment #33 From Frederic Crozat 2005-09-08 18:46 reply?

Bug should be fixed with nvu 1.0-3mdk, either on new install or by upgrading older broken install to this package (no need to uninstall / reinstall).

Not sure if this means it fixes all problems related to mozilla-related packages that are already installed, or not.

Michael_Pittaro_252 | 09.10.2005 at 05:29 PM

I had similar problems downloading the 2006 PowerPack DVD; it took over 18 hours with bittorrent with ~20Kb/sec download rate, ocassionally as high as 50kb. upload was consistently 20kb. (In comparison, 2005LE downloaded at 100+ kb!) My router ports were open, and I shut down shorewall as well. There was no shortwage of seeds, but they all seemed to be very slow.

On the bright side, 2006 is now installed, and looks very good. I still need to get the 3D ATI drivers squared away as XOrg reports undefined symbols (MSI RS480M2 MoBo) but the 2x clock problems with the ATI chipset are fixed in the 2.6.12 kernel.

I'm seeding the DVD while I poke around and see whats new.

zeb | 09.10.2005 at 06:32 PM

As-tu verifie l'integrite de ton image iso (somme md5 ou sha1) ? Si elle est bonne, est-ce que la gravure s'est bien passe ? Essaie en regravant sur des CD-R/DVD-/+R de bonne qualite (Verbatim, TDK...) et a faible vitesse (4X).

anders | 09.10.2005 at 07:05 PM

I have a question, what are the diffrencies between all different distributions?: Mandriva-Linux-Discovery-2006-CD1-3 (3x690 MB) Mandriva-Linux-Discovery-Live-2006-CD (700 MB) Mandriva-Linux-Free-Mini-2006-CD (423 MB) Mandriva-Linux-Free-2006-CD1-3 (3x690 MB) Mandriva-Linux-Free-Live-2006-CD (690 MB) Mandriva-Linux-Free-2006-DVD (2 GB) Mandriva-Linux-Extra-Plugins-2006-CD (670 MB) Mandriva-Linux-Powerpack-2006-CD1-7 (6x695 MB + 280 MB) Mandriva-Linux-Powerpack-2006-DVD (that is only 2.0GB same as Free-DVD...)

Did I miss a version? It would help to have an explanation of the diffferent content and also an explantion why the PowerPack DVD is smaller than the CDs...

otherwise keep up the good work! Anders

Raxal | 09.10.2005 at 07:34 PM

I have the same questions.

tgraupmann | 09.10.2005 at 08:03 PM

I just got an error after spending two days downloading.

When the CD boots it says:

Your CPU does not support long mode. Use a 32bit distribution.

Any idea what this means?

freda2999 | 09.10.2005 at 08:08 PM

You evidently downloaded the 64-86x edition, not the 32 bit edition.

freda2999 | 09.10.2005 at 08:13 PM

Thanks; I had tried uninstalling and reinstalling too. It didn't work until I finally tried deleting the firefox directory with MC. Then I reinstalled Firefox. TADA!!!!! Now I have a nice new Mozilla-Firefox browser that works fine, and after reinstalling PDF 1.0.1 that plugin works too. My only remaining problem is the Java plugin on Mozilla AND Firefox. None of these plugins work for the chat feature of the club, even though I have confirmed that the plugins are installed. Now what?

sprocketboy | 09.10.2005 at 08:17 PM

I assume you are talking about the "Club Commercial" site.

I was actually able to get an "update_source" site added using drakconf's interface to rpmdrake.

Thanks. I need to get the dkms-madwifi package installed and configured for this machine (I have the atheros wifi chipset built in to this laptop). But, I found an old PCMCIA 802.11b card that is supported by the kernel, which is how I am getting on right now. ;-)

tgraupmann | 09.10.2005 at 09:05 PM

Yeah didn't see it at the bottom of the list. Downloading now ;P

gr2be | 09.10.2005 at 10:54 PM

Le téléchargement est un peu lent, en ftp, en http ou par bittorent, mais à la sortie de la distrib, c'est normal. Big problem : où sont les serveurs openLDAP (les démons slapd et slurpd ??) Sans eux, tout ce qui est ldap a peu de chance de fonctionner !!

Jesus_Ruiz | 10.10.2005 at 11:55 AM

i've tried 3 times to download the DVD versión without sucess all the times at 99.9% at 520 block that when i try to install burning a DVD is the part of the kernel that i can't to skip. by other hand i've tried to download many many times via FTP. the same result. the file cut at 350Mb always. i've used first and second time azureus and third time bittorrent-gui. and i've downloaded my torrent file two times i've tried all this in two computers in my work and my home. and nothing. what is happening here?

i'm a silver member

dufour | 10.10.2005 at 03:24 PM

Don't you try to save to a FAT32 partition ? Those have a limit of 4Gb per file, so the DVD iso is abour 350Mb too big. Save on an EXT3 filesystem or an NTFS one if running windows.

Jesus_Ruiz | 10.10.2005 at 04:14 PM

the downloading was done in a mandriva 2005 (home / reiserfs) and/or in a windows 2000 NTFS equipment. i think that is not the case. now i'm stopped without my right to probe mandriva club edition 2006 because these faiulres. (incomplete bittorrent 99.9% and incomplete ftp download)

MarcoMavil | 11.10.2005 at 12:09 AM

This is the worst version of all Samba doesn't work. Networks doesn't work. Can't install anything without havin lots of error messages. Mandrake was good, I never had problems with it, even Mandriva 2005 was ok. But this 2006 just… No I'm havin errors login errors "latin keyboard types arabian characters". Network errors, I cannot share files 'couse it says that I need to point some file to root, but I can't set it to root even when I'm in root!!! So, isn't root the superuser or what? Lots of problems and lots of errors… I know Linux is better than windows, i've been usin linux for a long time and I never had this kind of problems, now I'm forced to use windows again since I have no more compatibility 'tween my windows pc's and my linux pc's, Linux is better but… this time you screwed it…

drodrig | 11.10.2005 at 01:00 AM

Mon problème squid a été résolu en ajoutant le tag suivant dans /etc/squid/squid.conf :

visible_hostname mon_nom_de_machine

avec "mon_nom_de_machine" correspondant évidemment à mon hostname.

Par ailleurs, "/etc/wpa_supplicant.conf" est bien toujours présent sur mon portable wifi, mais le service /etc/init.d/wpa_supplicant n'est plus présent sur la 2006. Mon wifi ne marche toujours pas.

Concernant ma carte graphique ATI Mobility fire GL T2, il semblerait que le driver d'ati (version 16.20) ne soit pas compatible avec Xorg version 6.9. Seule solution : ou attendre la prochaine version du driver d'ati, ou réinstaller Xorg 6.8 .... Il aurait été plus sage de la part de Mandriva de pouvoir proposer l'alternative à l'installation.

Flashbug | 11.10.2005 at 08:46 AM

D-oh! Couldn't initially find the errata page, switched to the VESA driver from the r128 tv-out (ATI) that was initially installed..now I can go to sleep. Later…

ftp was right now for me and was very quick

sjakob | 11.10.2005 at 04:38 PM

Wow, I had exactly the opposite experience. Easiest install yet.

I loved the fact that the NVidia drivers and Acrobat reader were included.

headsman | 11.10.2005 at 04:53 PM

I have to say the same :( When I try updating from 2005LE all my KDE and apps where crashing all the time. I had to do a fuill reinstall, and try it 2 times before it work properly: and make no custom package selections, etc. Had also to play arround with nvidia. Well, overall I never had some many problems with a Mandrake release. Never! (Except my first times with linux back with the 8.x releases.) Is it the name change that made the distro so… problematic? Even the package système is slow. At last my desktop is running again, but I fell I might have other problems. For now it look stable, but the installation process was not as good as it was before.

headsman | 11.10.2005 at 04:58 PM

My torrent was saying completed… but 99.9% (using Azureus). I made th md5 check and all was ok; burned the DVD.

vmforno | 11.10.2005 at 05:31 PM

I got a lot of problems, maybe because my system is laptop AMD64, but Mandriva 2005 LE doesn't give neither a headache, besides the paid support question unsolved yet (PCMCIA card unrecognized, a memory cardbus problem)

Mandriva powerpack 2006 the KDE taskbar is not showing up running application. For example, if I open firefox and minimize it, it just desapear. I must open firefox if I want to use it again. If I open firefox more than one time, the taskbar does not show that, the same happens with any ohter application, terminal window, etc. Any idea folks? I have never seen this problem before.

Robert_Goshko | 12.10.2005 at 05:55 PM

Trying to install on my Dell Inspiron 7000 from the Power Pack DVD as the system won't boot from DVD I used the cdrom.img file and booted from floppy (same as 2005 LE).

The Alt-F3 log says it needs the ata_piix.ko driver which needs the libata.ko both of which are not in the image. The message says to try the image hdcdrom_usb.img which is not on the DVD, where could I get this image?

Alt-F# log line: PCI: device 8086 7111 0000 0000 is "Intel Corp.|82371AB PIIX4 IDE", driver is ata_piix

Thanks

Raxal | 12.10.2005 at 06:57 PM

I figure out my WiFi problem, but I still think that KDE is broke, which is forcing me to use Gnome. KDE taskbar icons are not resized properly, and when I open a application, it's not placed in the taskbar,etc.

The bitorent downloads a .md5 file at the same time as the iso images.

Use the command… md5sum -c filename.md5

...to check the md5s. Filename is the name of the md5 file. md5sum will check all the iso images md5 values from the filename.md5 file.

Can somebody help me? How can I put the old driver of the Mandriva Linux 2005 LE? I was looking support in support.mandriva.com but this domain is not working. Thanks.

Hello, aucun pb de téléchargement, j'ai téléchargé 2 versions (32 et 64 bits) en 2 fois 3 heures. Pour cela, j'ai suivi les explications données sur ce site, et j'ai utilisé l'application azureus qui marche à merveille. L'application directe "bittorrent " n'a pas été efficace pour m'aider à faire les téléchargements (pbs de déconnexion au bout de qcqs minutes); Azureus n'a posé AUCUN souci, et même dans le cas de désynchronisation de mon modem, a réussi à télécharger ce qui restait (à vitesse un peu plus réduite, du fait que le tracker n'était plus reconnu). J'ai tenté la version upgrade depuis la LE 2005, et j'avoue que cela fonctionne plutôt bien, et m'a évité une reconfiguration de tout le système. Pour les utilisateurs du driver rt2500 (carte réseau), celui fourni par mandriva est une ancienne version (daube!), la solution consiste à récuperer la version du jour sur http://rt2x00.serialmonkey.com/wiki/index.php/Downloads aller dans /usr/src/linux, modifier dans le Makefile la ligne XTRAVERSION= "numero"custom par "numero", aller dans le répertoire Module de l'archive téléchargée, faire make et make install, puis rajouter "alias ra0 rt2500" (sans les ") dans /etc/modprob.conf, et le tour est joué! voilà pour l'instant!

Okay...is anyone else having the problem we are? When you see the dvd file size listed for the x86_64 iso, it says 4.4GB. But for some reason, when I try to download it, it comes out as a 390MB iso and the MD5 doesn't sync. I have tried to download it on several different computers (winblows and mandrake) and get the same thing…
