I am having THREE very persistant, very annoying problems with my Linux-Mandrake 8.1 PowerPack installation on a Celeron 533 machine... Here they are. Can ANYONE help me?
1. Cannot log into X as root. I know, I know I shouldn't use X as root, but I need to be able to do it! I'm using Sawfish 1.01 and XIMIAN GNOME 1.4 (I think it's that version; not sure). 2. IDE CD BURNER installed, but I cannot write to the CD... There was a CD reader installed before (and it worked fine). I want to use the excellent MONDO/MINDI (http://www.microwerks.net/~hugo/) as a system backup tool. 3. ATAPI ZIP drive not recognized. I've got an internal ATAPI ZIP drive in my box (it's the SECOND device on the SECOND IDE channel and harddrake reports it as hdd). It used to work just fine under 8.0, but since I did a complete wipe-n-install of 8.1, it isn't recognized within Linux. The drive powers during POST, so I know the connections are still good. I've got a known good ZIP disk in the drive. * From dmesg (anything that looked interesting or remotely related is included here, the rest cut): Linux version 2.4.8-34.1mdk ([EMAIL PROTECTED]) (gcc version 2.96 20000731 (Mandrake Linux 8.1 2.96-0.62mdk))Memory: 254824k/262080k available (1086k kernel code, 6868k reserved, 397k data, 712k init, 0k highmem) ide: Assuming 33MHz system bus speed for PIO modes; override with idebus=xx hda: ST36530A, ATA DISK drive hdb: WDC AC26400R, ATA DISK drive hdc: SAMSUNG CD-ROM SC-152L, ATAPI CD/DVD-ROM drive hdd: IOMEGA ZIP 100 ATAPI, ATAPI FLOPPY drive ide0 at 0x1f0-0x1f7,0x3f6 on irq 14 ide1 at 0x170-0x177,0x376 on irq 15 hda: 12715920 sectors (6511 MB) w/448KiB Cache, CHS=791/255/63, UDMA(33) hdb: 12594960 sectors (6449 MB) w/512KiB Cache, CHS=6149/64/32, UDMA(33) hdc: ATAPI 52X CD-ROM drive, 128kB Cache, DMA Uniform CD-ROM driver Revision: 3.12 ide-floppy driver 0.97 hdd: 98304kB, 196608 blocks, 512 sector size hdd: 98304kB, 96/64/32 CHS, 4096 kBps, 512 sector size, 2941 rpm Partition check: /dev/ide/host0/bus0/target0/lun0: p1 p2 < p5 p6 > /dev/ide/host0/bus0/target1/lun0: p1 /dev/ide/host0/bus1/target1/lun0: p4 Floppy drive(s): fd0 is 1.44M FDC 0 is a post-1991 82077 ide-floppy driver 0.97 Soundblaster audio driver Copyright (C) by Hannu Savolainen 1993-1996 sb: No ISAPnP cards found, trying standard ones...
