How to use Mandriva Linux on Qosmio G30-148

Hello

I ve bought this machine with WXP MCE, and I´d like to use a distribution linux (dual boot). On my old Toshiba Sattelite A10, I use Mandriva 2006 in this way. It works perfectly. "But, Qosmio, I have some problems with installation MDV 2006 (nVIDIA GeForce Go 7600, LAN) and shut down the system...). I would be very happy if I use Mandriva on this laptop, but on the other Linux is better then nothing for me.

Does anyone have good experiences with Linux on Qosmio (G30)? I prefer "user friendly" linux - (K) Ubuntu, SuSE, Fedora, Mandriva...
Thanks to all and sorry for my English. ;-)

What are your problems? I use Gentoo on my A100-912, looking at material you have same processor (Core 2 Duo), same (Intel 945), even wifi chipset (Intel 3945ABG), same GPU (Go 7600)...

I see no reason why it shouldn't work. To Go 7600, you must use the binary drivers, LAN to e100 module (Intel PRO/100 network driver).

Try to describe your problem in more detail, perhaps we can help you :-)

  • How to connect a satellite with Qosmio G30-188 receiver?

    Hello!

    How can I connect a satellite receiver to my Qosmio g30-188? I need to connect the AV signal (SCART) on the receiver to the laptop.
    can someone help me?

    Thanks in advance!

    Hello

    I didn't test it with cable SCART, but I presume that you need adapter SCART to connect to your satellite receiver. Here is the image what it looks like.

    On this map, you can connect S-video cable to transfer the picture to your Qosmio. You will find on the right side for laptop S-video PORT. For sound, you can use the audio cable (red/white) with proper adapter

    As I said I n t test it until now. In any case please check manuals s user document. Maybe, you can find some useful information.

  • Re: How to upgrade memory on a Qosmio G30 - 201 and where to buy memory

    Hello

    I have a Qosmio G30-201, with the following specifications:
    -Technology Intel® Centrino® Duo Mobile with Intel® Core 2 Duo processor T7400 - Genuine Windows® XP Media Center Edition - 400 (200 + 200) GB drive hard - 2 048 (1, 024 + 1, 024) MB of RAM DDR2 (533 MHz) - 17 "Toshiba TruBrite® TFT WUXGA screen-DVD - ROM HD player

    Running Vista Ultimate

    I want to upgrade the memory to 4096.

    Do I have to buy memory 4096, or if I add 2048?

    What memory to buy? Toshiba do not seem to sell MB RAM DDR2 (533 MHz) after 4 years. What other memory would be appropriate?

    Thank you very much

    Best regards

    Nick

    Your laptop can handle with 4 GB of RAM and I recommend you to use the 2 x 2GB module.
    Compatible 2 GB module has part number PA3513U-1M2G or Kingston KTT667D2 / 2G.

    Put the shadow party in Google and you will find a place where you can order it in your country.

  • Linux on Qosmio G30-116

    Someone tried to install Linux on this machine, if so, which version was it?

    I tried Suse 10.0 and 9.2, they bailed out with a disk controller error.

    Dave.

    Hi Dave

    The Qosmio G30 is the newest device and I think you're one of the first users with this device. I have no much experience with Linux, but I think you have this problem because of the RAID driver to be installed at the beginning of the installation of the OS.

    Unfortunately Linux is not supported by Toshiba and I really don t know if Toshiba can offer a solution for this.

    Good luck!

  • Qosmio G30 - problem after the system recovery procedure

    I Qosmio G30 - 148 who have Windows XP MCE, trying to download some system programs crashed and make automatic restart.

    I then used a RECOVERY CD to recover my system all and followed the instructions on the CD but when finished and restart the system, a famous blue screen telling me there is a problem in my system and windows must be restarted.

    When restarting in safe mode, it is a message telling me that the system is not fully installed. Please, rerun the Setup program.

    You could any body help me in this problem because it's a strange problem?

    Note: I tried to install Windows XP from external CD but the system did not have the hard drive.

    You are right. It's a really strange problem. I don't know if you use some external devices but before you start recovery procedure please remove all connected devices.
    The fact is that this recovery image is designed for this model of laptop and the specific hardware configuration. If the BSOD occurs after the installation of the image it takes little hardware related issue.

    I don't really have any other explanation. Problem is that no one here will be able to offer an accurate diagnosis, and we can only speculate what may be the problem.

    Try to do it again to the recovery facility, but if the problem persists I fear that you need professional help.

  • How to use the digital TV tuner on Qosmio G30?

    Hello, I recently got a qosmio G30-175. Could someone tell me how I can use the digital TV tuner mode qosmio player? Thank you

    Hello

    You won't like this, but unfortunately the digital tuner is not a musician Qosmio option.

    QosmioPlayer software is actually quite limited you really need to start Windows Media Center to get all the features of your machine which is a shame. There is always a chance toshiba can update the software of PS in time to take into account items such as the digital tuner.

    Despite this, you still have one of the best phones on the market, so I would like to concentrate on that.
    :-)

    Kind regards

  • How to use the video port with Vista on Qosmio G30

    Im running windows vista Ultimate edition.
    How to use the monitor in port?

    The Composite (in the port monitor) port is placed to the right.
    With the video component cable software plug-in delivered a CATV or satellite box can be connected to the computer to watch channels.
    You can for example use the Qosmio Player or Windows Media Center to watch other channels.

    As much as I know the ultimate Vista supports Windows Media Center, Windows Media Center HDTV.
    You should read some more details on your new operating system!

  • Can Qosmio G30-102 - I use it as a HD for my PS3 screen?

    Hello

    I have a Qosmio G30-102 and I wanted to know it would be possible to connect my Playstation 3 via * HDMI *? For the moment I can use only cables AV that's really fustrating. If I can use the laptop as screen for my PS3, using the HDMI cable inform me please how to do that because I tried all methods I can think.

    Thank you

    MB

    Hello!

    Sorry, buddy, but this is not possible.
    You can use t as the screen of the laptop as a monitor. The laptop doesn't have a video input port, there is only for video output ports. This is the reason for this.

    So if you want a HD screen for your PS3, you will have to buy a monitor only. The laptop can be used for this.

    Good bye

  • Qosmio G30: How to add the driver RAID without floppy drive?

    I'll put win xp tomorrow, as far as I can remember I will be asked to insert a floppy with additional RAID/SCSI drivers - I guess I need some drivers for XP see my RAID stripe.

    I was able to download 'raid-drv-qog20-xp - 1380.zip', but I'm afraid to look if my laptop has a floppy drive... How can I add the driver did not have a floppy drive?

    Hello

    Maybe a stupid comment, but if you can buy Qosmio G30 I presume that you can also get a used floppy disk. I did this a few times with Vista and Qosmio G30 and it works well.

    Check eBay. You will get the drive used for a few euros. Otherway tries to create CDs and if the RAID drive must travel to ODD, I didn't try because I have a FDD, but you can test it on your Qosmio.

  • How to connect PS3 to Qosmio G30-201?

    Hey guys please help

    I can't connect my PS3 to the Qosmio G30-201. I tried with the HDMI cable but do not know how to connect.

    Can any 1 advise me how to connect?

    Thanks in advance

    > I use the hdmi cable to receive brillaint image quality and I tried with the Qosmio player with hdmi cable but couldn't make any image what so ever.

    Dear TV, have you read what other people write here. To send the video signal to the laptop, you use VIDEO IN port. HDMI port on your laptop is probably VIDEO OUT port. Also, it cannot work.
    Read it please user manuals to see which ports are video in ports. This port allows to transfer the video signal in your laptop.

  • How to connect a Qosmio G30 to the TV

    Could someone help me please. I'm not good with computers if at all really need. I want to conect my Qosmio G30 to my TV.

    It's an old TV not LCD or plasma. I have a cable with my laptop which connects the laptop to the TV via a connection SCART. I then supported on FN with F5 and erased G30 screen and nothing happened. I made FN + F5 again and the image on the G30 with icons much more large etc, but nothing on my TV.

    I have been advised to waste his time with my display settings and turn on a second monitor. I did that and followed my actions above. I got a very dark image for a few seconds on my TV and then nothing! I was told today to tinker with my NVIDIA settings and this should allow a connection SCART TV. Could you please give me a definitive answer?

    I apologize for my obvious lack of knowkedge...

    Hello

    I don't know how old is your laptop, but almost all older TVs have a separate channel that can be used if the external device is connected. Check your TV remote control. There must be a button with the symbol that looks like the right arrow that shows in the circle.

    http://www.2ourgoal.com/uploadfiles/200732721729797.jpg - button to 0 on the right side. Try it please use this channel on the TV.
