Hi,
I Just found this lovely distro and was needing some help.
I have a new samsung series 7 780z5e laptop and have the following issues.

I thought I would install samsung-tools but they appear to not be in the repos. Where do i get samsung-tools?

Many thanks!

cheers

samsung-tools is in the nonfree repository,

Code: Select all

# urpmq -i samsung-tools
Name        : samsung-tools
Version     : 2.1
Release     : 8.mga3
Group       : System/Configuration
Size        : 520535                       Architecture: noarch
Source RPM  : samsung-tools-2.1-8.mga3.src.rpm
URL         : https://launchpad.net/samsung-tools
Summary     : Tools for Samsung laptops
Description :
'Samsung Tools' is the successor of 'Samsung Scripts' provided by the 'Linux
On My Samsung' project. It allows the complete configuration and the control
in a friendly way of devices found on Samsung netbooks (bluetooth, wireless,
webcam, backlight, CPU fan, special keys) and the control of various aspects
related to power management, like the CPU undervolting (when a PHC-enabled
kernel is available).


It is likely that either you have not enabled the nonfree and nonfree/update repositories or else when searching for samsung-tools you left the drop down box at the top left of the GUI set to "show packages with GUI"

Thanks. Your reply helped me further examine the nonfree release setup in mageia control center. It was on the cdrom and this is an ultrabook and I had unplugged the cdrom. Now I need to add nonfree release through repo instead of cdrom.
