Hi,
I just installed mandriva PowerPack 2010.2 and facing several problems.
* How can I change emacs theme ?
*It does not detect sound card?
*How do I activate combiz, it says that my system does not support 3d.
*It does not detect the eth1 (Wi-Fi) card, and no option to use linux driver, only ndiswrapper which I don't like and don't know where it is located?
*sakis3g does not connect, first I choose connect with 3g then when I choose the use usb device , it repeat the same window again and again...
I have ThinkPad E530 64bit with windows 7.
please help me ,
Thank You Very Much,
Open a konsole, run the command 'lspci' and look for the audio device, this command will produce a list of devices on the PCI bus. Cut and paste the results of the audio device here. Next run the command 'lsmod | grep snd' and post the results. All commands without the quotes, just what is between them.

Its called compiz. First of all, do you have an accelerated graphics card? Second, have you gone into MCC and activated any proprietary video drivers?

In a konsole, run the commands 'ifconfig' and 'iwconfig' and post the results for both. Next, run 'lspci' and find the wireless card in the output, if its an internal card. If you have one inserted in a USB port, run the command 'lsusb' and post the results.

It is best to post only one problem per thread. Pic the one you need help most. This type of post is almost impossible to answer fully, by most people. It will become very very long, and difficult to follow.
It is not possible to help without some information on any one issue. You have not provided any useful problem determination information. Hence the request for various pieces of data.
Your laptop uses the CPU in-built Intel HD video chip (second generation). Those were not properly supported when Mandriva 2010.2 was released, so the delivered driver does not really know of your video device. The same may be true for your WLAN device.
I would recommend to upgrade to the latest Mandriva release, which should give you much better support for your hardware.
