[Cooker] KDM is going crazy
Hi, Yesterday, a power outage shutted down my computer, and when it booted up, KDB was going crazy, I couldn't login with any user, even with root. Now, I have to use gdm instead. At start, KDM showed tons of users in its user icon space, I saw gpm, mysql, postfix users, which are for certain programs only. Anyone know how KDM authenticates with the system? I can login with console or gdm. Thanks for any hint. __ Do you Yahoo!? Faith Hill - Exclusive Performances, Videos More http://faith.yahoo.com
[Cooker] Mandrake/Kernel/GCC?
This is the first time in my linux experience with a frozen linux box in an official released version. I tried to show my little bro how to build a linux-from-scratch box using Mandrake 9.0. Supprisingly enough, during the step of building gcc 3.2, it froze producibly. I downloaded and installed a vanilla 2.4.19 but it didn't help. I also installed gcc 2.9.6 instead of default gcc 3.2, but that didn't help either. Has anyone encountered the same problem? My box is Abit KG-7, 1.4GHz, 512 RDRAM. Thanks! __ Do you Yahoo!?

Is that a PCI or ISA card? --- brent sirna [EMAIL PROTECTED] wrote: Hi all, On the weekend I just tried switching from my motherboard's audio(ac97) to my sound blaster live value card.

[Cooker] Xine and DeCSS
Could anyone give me a reason why DeCSS plugin from http://debianlinux.net/captain_css.html for XINE does not work with xine binary in RC3? It works with 8.2 and 9.0 beta version. Is this the problem with binary compatibility between gcc 9.2.x and gcc 3.x? What gcc version was used to compile xine in 9.0 RC3? Thanks __ Do you Yahoo!?

[Cooker] Why is Mandrake so sensitive with CDROM/DVD-ROM
I used Tyan CD-RW 20/14/40 to install Mandrake (betas, RCs).. alway gave me errors everytime; I've had clicked ignore to keep the installations going. I used the same drive to install Redhat 7.3 everything went fine. I replaced the drive with TEAC cdrom drive, then the installation goes smoothly with Mandrake. Could anyone explain why it happens that way. Don't tell me my drive is bad. After installation, I can use it any way I want. __ Yahoo! - We Remember 9-11: A tribute to the more than 3,000 lives lost http://dir.remember.yahoo.com/tribute
[Cooker] KDE desktop went crazy with RC2
In my previous post, I mentioned that installer failed to install some packages; I had to click Ignore to go on. I've just installed mozilla using Kmenu-Configuration-Packages-Install Software; After installation, I tried to use Kmenu-Internet-WWW-Mozilla to bring it up, but the menu went crazy. Every Icon was replaced with generic Icon. Icons of application shotcut on the panel were replaced with KDE generic icon; When I clicked on any of those, I couldn't open the apps. __ Yahoo! - We Remember 9-11: A tribute to the more than 3,000 lives lost http://dir.remember.yahoo.com/tribute

[Cooker] 9.0 RC1 problems
- Fresh install with default selected. - Can't install mozilla 1.1 during installation error raised. - After installation, KDE login screen crashed, and went to console login mode. I modified /etc/sysconfig/desktop to use gnome and restarted; It came up ok this time. - Tried to install mozilla 1.1; the packet is in CD3, which was never asked during installation - Logged out to gnome login screen, but was unable to type anything into the box, If I click something like System, Language on the bottom of the screen, then I was able to type afterward. Logging in took so long (I guess for my DHCP network setting, I'm using cable). - Logged again, and tried to shutdown using shutdown option from GNOME login screen. Sometime, it hung forever, or stopping with error Shutting down dm: Failed message. Beta1,2,3,4 worked fine on my machine before.
