Something I did not try, assuming if the action I gave with command line did not work than certainly the GUI will not. akdengi, yes, simple and thank you!

Hi all, In the past week I have not been able to download the updates that urpmi.update lists when I first log in to desktop. We have dial up at home, so I use kppp or wget, but a week ago I tried a public wireless hotspot as I now have Rosa on a laptop. That is when I noticed I could not 'ping' the...

So glad to hear it! Glad too that Victor was here to help you, as I did not know about editing the fstab entry, something I have never had to do.
Warm regards, Lisa Marie

I can only share links as to what others have done, sorry. But, you gave us another clue, and that is that it only happens when you unplug the computer. I found this, very similar to your problem: http://forums.fedoraforum.org/showthread.php?p=1555418 where that person selected Configure your Deskto...

Hi netean, It's always slow for me due to dial-up, but recently I switched the following setting in Control Centre>Software Management>Configure Media Sources...>Options>Global Options>Download program to use> and switched from default 'curl' to 'wget'. I use wvdial dial-up utility and now I do not ...

You got me there, cowboooy, with default installation, as I was not making sense. :pardon: I meant during the install on your hard drive, where it says such things as 'install on free space' or 'use largest empty partition' Sorry, I can't recall the exact wording, but I always select to manually ins...

Your English is very good! I did find some others that have had this problem. Did a search for : "Welcome to emergency mode. Use "systemctl default" What does your fstab file show: cat /etc/fstab and how did you install Marathon? I always manually install and have never had that error. Here are a co...

Again, thank you! It isn't important, and if I had paid attention I wouldn't be asking. I'll have to put the 'free' version disc aside so as not to get them mixed up if I have to reinstall. (I've done this, errrrr!) I would also guess that the enabled repo list with EE is different than free version...

Ah, there it is. Thanks rugyada! So Desktop would have a quicker 'rollover' rate, I assume, which for me is what I do not want as I use dial-up. It is easier for me to stay with Long Term Support Marathon version, no iso to download every few months, and I learned how to cache/save the urpmi rpms an...

I am confused as to the difference between Marathon and Desktop? I am using 2012 Marathon LTS EE (non-free) x86_64. I assumed Desktop to mean any comments/questions/problems to do with the desktop environment, such as KDE (or Gnome, or LXDE, etc). I just now checked the Rosa wiki download mirror sit...

Hi all, I finally attempted to install drivers for the MX401. I don't use the cups/gutenprint drivers as they do not work for this printer, even though there is a selection in the printer configuration GUI. The sane scanner drivers do not work, either, as I recall there were none available to try. S...

(edited as I meant to write, non-free) Hi, Rosa Marathon 2012 non-free x86_64 restored the GNU GRUB .97 menu. I'll try posting a couple of images from the output excluding first image since previous poster shared it already: http://www.keepandshare.com/userpics/c/6/t/8/_bl7mfnt/2012-12/sb/img_1367-4...

Today I had success with Rescue System in Rosa DVD install disc, even after it showed
"Running embed /boot/grub/e2fs_stage1_5 (hd0)..."
where it never continues after this point.
I had to hard restart computer, but I got my Rosa simple graphical boot menu back.

It now plays well. I'm not sure what exactly did the trick, but in repositories, I enabled 'non-free' and 'restricted' and installed faac and faad2, as well as ffmpeg was updated. I then installed x11-driver-video-nvidia-current via the 'set up graphical display'.

That's a good one, Flid! Thanks, PastorDi. And I spent two days looking for a picture of a dew covered rose or dew covered wheat seed head, or dew covered spider web for an avatar but wasn't happy with anything I found, so I chose Mr. Kitty Kat instead. It's an illustration by Hilary Knight from a c...

I know this is an old thread, but I wanted to try the Rescue System on my ROSA 2012 Marathon EE 64 bit disc to see what you are all referring to. I have two hard drives on my desktop. The first has two windows (XP Pro Nlite and 8 Devel Preview) and second hard drive has two Linux distros, the first ...

One thing I appreciate about this forum is alerting us to new updates. Thank you! Maybe this isn't the appropriate place to post this, but I have problems with video playback using Rosa-Media-Player 1.5-12 . I am using Rosa Marathon LTS 2012 non-free for 64 bits. The video DVD is unencrypted using f...

Thanks, PastorDi, I did end up editing my menu.lst and now looks like this: title 3.0.38-nrj-desktop-1rosa.lts kernel (hd1,8)/boot/vmlinuz-3.0.38-nrj-desktop-1rosa.lts BOOT_IMAGE=3.0.38-nrj-desktop-1rosa.lts root=UUID=lots ofnumbers nokmsboot logo.nologo quiet resume=UUID=lotsofnumbers splash=silent...

Hello, I have two questions. I did a Rosa update in the past month and now have the following in my boot menu boot after kernel upgrate: linux (/boot/vmlinuz) linux-nonfb (/boot/vmlinuz) windows (/dev/sda1) 3.0.28-nrj-desktop-2rosa.lts 3.0.38-nrj-desktop-1rosa.lts I have been scrolling down to kerne...

Hi benbullard79 and welcome here! For the spellchecker problem in Firefox, go to Preferences>Content>Languages and make sure English is selected. If that doesn't help, it could be in this forum, under "user control panel". Yes, I picture a rose flower, too due to being more familiar with Spanish. It...

Thank you, Pulfer for helping me with this. That was quick! Much obliged.
Regards, Lisa

@PastorDi, thank you! That works. And thank you Pulfer, as that got rid of the missing library error. It appears not just a device notifier problem as you probably already know. When I enter in konsole: digikam --detect-camera, it gives me a segmentation fault error and doesn't start the application...

Recently I installed Digikam 2.5.0 and it works fine when I start it from Simple Welcome>Applications. The problem I am having is when I turn on my camera (Canon A640) and device notifier pops up, portable media player, three actions for this device, and click on Download Photos with digikam. It bri...

I too have noticed this. I have a copy of ultimate boot CD for this reason, though any live boot linux disc already includes a partition manager like the ones you have mentioned.

Thank you VictorR2007!

This how-to helped me also. I assumed 'media' was referring to disk, so I didn't click 'add', but now that I did, I retrieved the package list. I received this; ...retrieving failed: aria2 failed: exited with 5 problem reading synthesis file of medium "main (LTS2012.0-1)" ...retrieving failed: aria2...

Hello, and greetings from Arkansas. So far, I am much impressed with Rosa on my system and appreciate the work put into this operating system. In the past I have tried Knoppix, Simply Mepis, Ubuntu, Kubuntu, Mint KDE, Fedora, Open Suse, Hymera, and MoonOS, and my main distro has been Pardus. I was l...

Hello, ДроноваЮ. Thank you for the welcome!

PastorDi . My first reply and I got it wrong. I did wonder what was meant by PIN.

Hello,
I am new here and don't have my Rosa iso yet to try it, but I too have a usb dialup modem, so I will be following this bug. I often have problem where I can connect ok, but can't ping, that /etc/resolv.conf is empty after a connection is made when it should list nameservers.
