Mandriva Kiosk open to all

Anti-Trend

Nonconformist Geek
Club members have had access to test the service for a few weeks now,
but it has now been officially launched and is available free to all
Standard and above Club members, or for a special introductory price
of 29.90 for a year's subscription for non-Club members. Mandriva
Kiosk is a web-based software catalogue allowing you to browse, learn
about and install organised 'bundles' of applications with a single
click, making it easy to add or update large, complex groups of
software on your Mandriva system. Currently available bundles include
KDE 3.5, GNOME 2.12, Mozilla Firefox / Thunderbird 1.5, OpenOffice
2.0, Opera 8.5 and more. Currently, only the i586 version of Mandriva
Linux 2006 (Discovery, Free, Powerpack or Powerpack+) and Mandriva One
are supported by Kiosk, but support will be extended in the near
future to the Club Christmas edition of Mandriva Linux 2006 and to
x86-64 releases.

Great, using the SoS Xorg 6.9 packages completely scruffed my system.
Hmm, I didn't have any problems with Xorg 6.9... I even added the SoS KDE 3.5.3 repo and updated KDE recently, no problems at all so far.
 
X was simply broken, since the keyboard wouldn't work within a few seconds of initialising. Good ole CLI to remove it and reinstall the default X packages.

Sounds like something went very wrong, most likely with your config. I'm glad you were able to fix it, but in the future you might be able to save some time by using harddrake to rebuild your xorg.conf
 
If only i kept Mandriva linux on, i would be able to start using it with this Kiosk thing, i might give mandriva a try again once i get some free disk space
