This looks like some kind of bug so the best bet is to ask on one of the Mandriva forums or even pop on to IRC and ask about it via the #mandriva channel where people are generally very helpful and knowledgeable. It’s entirely possible that this problem has already been fixed by some kind of update, but I’m not personally able to keep track of all the issues

Hey Colin I’m new to the linux world especially to mandriva 2009 that I’ve on my Acer Aspire 3660 it was working pretty well but just this morning when I switched on my laptop it doesnt recognize any wireless connections. It does recognize my wireless divice atheros 2413 though.

I’m trying to reconfigure my wireless connection trough mandriva control center but this is all I get

“== NULL’ failed at /usr/lib/libDrakX/mygtk2.pm line 622″
If you can give me some advice I will really appreciate that

Cheers

Well of course you shouldn’t need to do this to get it to work after boot, but to answer your question see pactl –help (the commands set-sink-volume and set-sink-mute are probably the ones of interest to you.

quick question, is there a way to script things like volume adjustments in pulseaudio from the command-line?

here’s my setup:
ubuntu 9.10 desktop running on a media PC connected to a TV with no conventional inputs.
a .xsession that auto runs XBMC on automatic login

the sound won’t work unless i run gnome-volume-control first and un-mute and raise the volume manually before starting xbmc
is there any wayto do this?

I am very anxious to have the torrent for the Mandriva 2010.0 PWP, how long will I have to wait for that?
I have now installed the free version thaks to the torrent link provided here and it has solved a number of issues for me. So I am keener than ever for the PWP version.
Many Thanks for providing a link for the free version.

Looking forward 2010.0. Mandriva, is one of the best distros out there. As soon as the 2010 Powerpack is available (which, as I understand, should be later today), I’m gonna upgrade.

I really loved 2009 Spring, and I have high hopes for 2010.

Nice to know Yeah the blog changed a little while back now.. It’s a more or less standard template but I tweaked the header image a bit – see the About page if you’re interested in where it’s from
