[Cooker] Knode crash in 9.0

[John Rebecca]

Hello.

I've got a problem and I'm looking for some help. Or to offer help. :)

alt.os.linux.mandrake recently caused knode to completely freeze up in Mdk 
9.0. I could read all other groups easily, but clicking on a.o.l.m caused it 
to freeze.

Removing all aolm files from .kde/share/apps/knode/nntp.1 fixed the problem. I 
had to resubscribe and all that obviously, but it works now.

I have saved the (3) files that caused the problems.

Would anyone like to look at them to bug-track, or should I just wait until 
9.1/KDE3.1?

Thanks,
John

Re: [Cooker] Sound problem in 9.0: no line-in

[John Rebecca]

ok.

here goes.

All categories are unlocked, and for each category, both channels (left  
right) are either on or off (ie: not left on/right off). The same is true for 
record source (the red dots).

I'm also not including volume levels.

also, it'd be nice to have an EASY way to turn off line in. If my TV card is 
plugged in, I ALWAYS get TV sound. even when I stop watching TV. (I suppose 
if everything is setup correctly, then Kmix would work for this, no?)

Let me know if you need anything else.

[Cooker] Frozen Bubble and Lock Screen

[John Rebecca]

Hi guys.

I have a little problem with being able to lock my screen after playing Frozen 
Bubble full screen. I can't do it any more.

It seems to only be with frozen bubble.

I'm running a stock Mdk9.0 and KDE, with all security updates via Mdk Update.

Bug?

thanks,
john

I know. :-/

i'll try and sit down tonite and try and make sense of what I have 
on/off/record source/level, etc., then get back to you.

I really can't say what I CHANGED tho. I can only tell you how things are set 
now. Then you can compare that to a stock 9.0 install?

Re: [Cooker] Sound problem in 9.0: no line-in

[John Rebecca]

well, after countless hours..i finally got line-in working. :)

lost ALL sound for a while there.

But it's back.

And you're right, it would be nice to have this working out of the box. And 
alsamixergui has WAY too many settings. :)

thanks for the help.

 I do not know much about recording, as I never use it. But for a start: do
 not use kmixer, use alsamixergui, and spend a few hours to try all
 ridiculously named mixer settings. Please report if you get it working. I
 hope to compile a sort of default mixer setting to get this sort of thing
 working out of the box next release.

  I CAN record from the line-in jack, I just can't hear it.
 
  The card is a Soundblaster LiveValue. The system is AMD-1.1G, running a
  fresh install of Mdk9.0 with all security updates. I am also running the
  Win4Lin kernel for Mdk9.0.
 
  Any ideas?

[Cooker] Sound problem in 9.0: no line-in

[John Rebecca]

Hello everyone.

I am having an odd problem in Mdk9.0. All my sound works,  except for the 
line-in. It worked in Mdk8.2.

Kmixer shows the volume up and non-muted. I've tried both ALSA and OSS to no 
avail. All other sound works just fine.

I CAN record from the line-in jack, I just can't hear it.

The card is a Soundblaster LiveValue. The system is AMD-1.1G, running a fresh 
install of Mdk9.0 with all security updates. I am also running the Win4Lin 
kernel for Mdk9.0.

Any ideas?

Re: [Cooker] PS2 mouse problem during install

[John Rebecca]

On Monday 16 September 2002 11:12 pm, David Walluck quipped:

 I have the same mouse and the same symptoms. It seems okay if you don't
 use the mouse after the test phase, but if you mouse the mouse during
 the test phase, then forget it -- the system can even lock up on you then.

 The odd thing is that this mouse works fine in X configured as a generic
 PS/2 wheel mouse, just not during the install. BTW, this bug has existed
 for at least a year now, and I'm sure it's been reported before.

Everything is fine before the test phase, and just dandy after the 
back-and-forth cycle I have to go thru. Just the test screen is funky.

But I've -never- had the system lock up from the mouse test.

 I, for one, would like to see it fixed.

 Also, the mouse itself came as USB, but I'm using the PS/2 adapter if

same here, but I have the same problem with a real PS2 mouse.

I would have no problem with the mouse even being disabled until the test 
screen since that seems to fix the problem, but that just seems kind of 
cheesy for a modern OS distribution. But the main problem here (I think), is 
that  having install fail where you can't even configure the mouse is 
probably going to stop a significant number of first time users from trying 
to finish the install.
