I just started using linux. I installed the mandrake 10.0 and it works properly. A few bugs but not a something that i can't handle. However yesterday a new problem started. WHen i try to run some application like xmss or licq or totem it start's and then immeditlly close. What can i do?

open up a terminal, and run the program from there, at the prompt, just type "xmms" without the quotes, and then copy and paste the error?

That would help in starting to diagnose your problem.

Here it is. My knowledje in linux is not one of my strongest sides/ but can you tell me why xmms crash only when i try to play the mp3 ?

Here is something similar which might help.

Thanks but i just lack of experience to understand what was written there
i tried to rpm -q --whatprovides libGl.so.1
but the answer was that no package provides that
what am i doing wrong
it's the same problem there

<QUOTE>$ rpm -q --whatprovides libGL.so.1
XFree86-Mesa-libGL-4.3.0-2</QUOTE>

This tells you that the libGL.so.1 library is in the XFree86-Mesa-libGL-4.3.0-2 package.

So, what you need to do is find that package (Google is your best friend here) and install it. The only sticky point is that you'll either need to find a Mandrake based source for this package or else find a way to convert whatever package you DO find into a Mandrake installable package. If Mandrake uses rpm (and I suspect it does), it may or may not be the same as RedHat's rpm.

Unfortunately, not being familiar with how Mandrake handles packages and what not, I can't give you a definitive answer on this issue. I know that when I need a library that isn't available as a Slackware .tgz file (similar to rpm), I found a utility that can usually convert a RedHat rpm file to a Slackware .tgz file and then I can install it through Slackware's package management system.

thats exactly what i did before but the message was that
/home/getafix/XFree86-Mesa-libGL-4.3.0-2.i386.rpm: untrue signature ((SHA1) DSA sha1 md5 (GPG) (MISSING KEY) GPG#db42a60e NOT OK)
when i try to continue i get this
file /usr/X11R6/lib/libGL.so.1.2 from install of XFree86-Mesa-libGL-4.3.0-2 conflicts with file from package libxfree86-4.3-30mdk
i tried a coule of files
that's was before i asked
