YDL 6.0

Postby microft » 21 Mar 2008, 23:40

Hi!

Today I've started messing around with YDL 6.0 on my Mac Mini G4 1.5GHz.
The installation didn't give me any trouble, it's was very straight forward.
However, now that it's installed and running I did discover some problems:

- Can't get the airport extreme card to use WPA+PSK
- Gnome says the sound card isn't configured (although it seems I have sound)
- Can't get a decent xorg configuration (what driver and options should I use?)


Thanks!!

I will defer to my Mac brethren, but you may be out of luck with WPA+SPK. Although I'm using a PS3, I think the information is similar:

We do have a solution - but since I use WEP, I haven't tried it.

I have no idea how applicable any of this is to the Mac Mini. But - at least it's more info for you.

Hopefully, WPA works just fine on the Mac and it's just us PS3 owners that have to jump through these hoops. :)

Cheers,
Paul

I have the same issue regarding sound but it seems to work ok?

I tried installing GStreamer to fix it:

Code: Select all
Su
password:
yum install GStreamer


but it states no action is necessary indicating to me that it's already installed but not sure what to do now?

I haven't been able to sort the audio problem yet. But I think it could be a driver issue.

Another thing I noticed is that the wireless will only work as 11Mbps. Did this happen to any of you? Anyway to solve it?
