[Cooker] [Mandrake 10] Interactivity problem in 9.2
Hi, I have interactivity problems with the 9.2 release. I have hear about it in the past, concerning other distribs. This should be fixed in Mandrake 10, or even with 9.2 updates. XMMS makes pauses and clicks when I move windows under a default Gnome 2.4 with the Mandrake 2.4 kernel. I have a 500 MHz CPU, which I think must be supported (it is very fast for what I do with my PC). Maybe this problem doesn't occure on a faster CPU, and maybe that's why the problem already exists. Moreover, I lost a CD-R while burning with gtoaster (i.e. cdrecord). To obtain such a result I opened a directory in XMMS while burning. Here, the CPU was a 1300 MHz Duron, with fast hard disks, and 256 MB of RAM. As usual, I don't know much in the domain of setting the default priorities for X and XMMS. When i make a top, it seems that both are launched with a 0 priority, what is surely a good thing. I'd rather think that it is a kernel problem, since the first problem have disapeard using a 2.6.0-test kernel. I didn't perform tests with the 2.4 vanilla, but I didn't have this problem with it, either with 7.0-7.2 redhats or with 9.0-9.1 mandrakes. Maybe I should post a bug report ? All the way
[Cooker] [Mandrake 10] Ideas for RpmDrake [long]
This message is the result of conversations whith newbies that tried to use Mandrake 9.1/9.2 and after having been conviced and happy with the distribution are re-using Windows more and more for a couple of annoying and easily solvable problems. My point of view about newbie difficulties (which I heard FROM NEWBIES themselves) with Mandrake is that there are roughly four issues: 1. The package 2. The menues 3. The language 4. The license 1. The packages are a good thing but there should be a frontend to the package systems where we talk about apps and plugins. The apps should be organized in a tree that should be understood by the end-user. A typical end-user doesn't know what the graphical environment category could contain, as an exemple. Even desktop or Bureautique or Network should not be seen. More over, only major apps should be shown, with a comment that only says something like Open Office is the leading text writer, spreadsheet tool under Linux, or Abiword is a text writer that is lighter than Open Office... 2. The menues should be nearly empty, with only newbie oriented apps in it. A First level should only contain the labels Internet (netwok doesn't mean much for a user, and less correctness on language is sometime a good thing), Programs, Multimedia, Sound (A newbie doesn't think about sound being multimedia), Close The System (session is har to understand too). Typically a user only needs a multimedia player, a sound player, a desktop suite, a web browser, a mail reader, tools for burning CDs and rip CDs. 3. I focused hear on the french translation but it also applies to others. Every term like réseau environnent graphique bureautique is technical for a newbie and shouldn't be used. Maybe whe should have a franglais mode where we read plugin and not greffon and so on. I understand that it is not such an important thing. Such a mode would only be usefull for mid-newbies that know what is a plugin, but not a greffon. Total newbies doesn't know what is a plugin. 4. A newbie doesn't know PLF, and as a consequence can't make as many things as with windows with is Mandrake. Lincensing and Patent issues are a mess for newbies that aren't aware of that problem. Here there is no technical solutions, only poltical ones...

Re: [Cooker] Encrypted partitions with Mandrake?
Has anybody had any experiences from either of these? Or from some other encrypted loop device solutions? I use the MDK provided encrypted FS for 1 File System - not a partition - just a 2GB file inside an ext3 FS. Works in a non-integrated way (as in tools like nautilus have no way of asking you for the password when you go to mount it). It uses the AES cipher, with 256 bit keys. Some people don't like typing in the 20 odd characters it wants for a key. Apart from that, haven't had a problem or an issue with it. The nice thing about this is I can put it on a DVD, and not worry about mis-placing the DVD. Can mount it anyplace with the loop AES stuff. /Kevin -- Kevin J.

From: K Montgomery [EMAIL PROTECTED]
Hello All,
I just bought a KTI 6-in-1 USB flash card reader from Directron.com.
It claims to be compatible with Linux, which I've found to be true...
in the strictest sense of the word compatible.
I am able to access the drive (the CompactFlash slot) on /dev/sda1, but
mounting and viewing file contents is absurdly SLOW. I tried to copy
several files off the card and the operation seemed to take minutes per
file.
Writing to USB CF things is slow, as the CF medium is slow for writes.
I get reasonably spiffy performance on reads - slow, but reasonable.
Are you getting SCSI timeouts in /var/log/{messages|syslog}? The only
time I had treacle like performance was when it was getting lots of
timeouts and there were lots of SCSI resets happening. Remember - this
stuff runs a SCSI emulation layer.
I am seeing this pair of messages in /var/log/syslog:
Sep 17 16:35:24 KmacG4 kernel: sr0: mmc-3 profile: 0h
Sep 17 16:35:24 KmacG4 kernel: cdrom: open failed.
You just have a CD with no disc loaded and supermount or the CD audio
player thingy is looking..
Here's the pertinent line from /etc/fstab (may wrap):
/dev/sda1 /mnt/removable auto
users,iocharset=iso8859-1,codepage=850,noauto 0 0
(That line was automatically added by something, don't know what.)
The hotplug mechanism when you stuff the card in (in essence - it's a
bit more complex than that however).
Anyone have any ideas on why this reader is behaving so sluggishly in
Linux? (Works just fine on Mac OS.)
As an owner of a 6-in-1 reader that is also supported by Linux, my
only issues with them are:
(1) SCSI LUNs are not all probed by default (so you only get the CF
slot)
(2) Some kernels from MDK have serious usb-storage - SCSI issues,
usually timeouts resulting in either a hard crash (on SMP systems) or
very sluggish performance.
(3) I have to remove usb-storage when I plug things in the second time
to get the hotplug mechanisms to wake up and do something. When I get
some spare mSecs, I'll try to fix this one!
Cheers
/Kevin

Re: [Cooker] 9.2 download CD size
A 3 650 Mb CD pack should be fine, it should be enough to put a standard desktop for the end-user. Maybe even a 2 CD interbational release, with 2 aditional CDs with more apps.

[Cooker] Another 9.2B2 issue...
...Just upgraded a 9.1 machine. All went smoothly until install bootloader time. I use grub (why would anyone want lilo???). The script grabed a lot of old kernels from the /etc/lilo.conf file (a file I never noticed had all the old cruft in it) and tried to install them. Of course, this fails miserably. Fixed by symlinking to make lilo happy. This truly sucks, there is just so much vmlinuz-x.y-nzzzmdk you can type before going nuts :-) This seems to me to be a bit of a problem - /boot/grub/menu.lst and /etc/lilo.conf *can* be horribly out-of-sync. Seems to me a reasonable solution is to just install a new lilo.conf which lacks all the users old stuff (this can't fail); or fall back to this if lilo barfs trying to incorporate the old stuff. Anyone have an opinion? /Kevin -- Kevin J.

[Cooker] Another 9.2B2 issue
[it seems my original post didn't make it] Upgraded a 9.1 system with the 9.2B2 CD's yesterday and ran into a bug - that stopped installation dead. The system in question has always used grub as its bootloader (why would you use anything else?). I've built many a custom kernel on this box, and deleted old ones to make space. 9.2B2 wants to use lilo - so it grabs my old /etc/lilo.conf file and adds the new stuff to it. Trouble is, /etc/lilo.conf is full of garbage - all the old experimental kernels, for example. Result - it fails. Solution - create appropriate symlinks to make it think those kernels and initrd's are there. This got the installation to complete. I think we need to do a bit better than this, if the user is using lilo, it'll work as is mostly. Unless they've deleted something from /boot; in which case they have the same problem I had. How about the perl script sanity checks things? Or we go with just the new stuff and have a post install migration script for lilo? Or just use grub :-) /Kevin -- Kevin J.

[Cooker] 9.2Beta2 install glitch
Just installed on an Asus A8NX-X based system - this is one with the nVidia chipset. Installation proceeded fine until we got to the summary screen and the network was not yet configured. Silly me, I clicked the button :-) Once you get in there, you basically can't get out. There is no cancel button - I was forced to set up a bogus ppp connection to finally get to the exit! It'd be very helpful if there was **always** a button to bail out. Only major problem I found... /Kevin -- Kevin J.

[Cooker] Bamboo upgrade of 9.1RC1 system failure
Just upgraded my SMP box from 9.1RC1 - Bamboo. It failed. Spectacularly - unable to boot as a result of a crash while upgrading the kernel package! The problem was my root partition - I had quite a bunch of kernels in there (my fault, I need to spring clean more often). The machine has 1GB of memory, so the default install peels off the normal kernel, SMP and Enterprise. I think DrakX needs to check more carefully the available space - If I was a non-hacker type user and had upgraded 8.2-9-9.1-... then it is quite likely I'd accumulate a *lot* of old kernels.. I think any recent Windows refugee would find this pretty disturbing (Grub loaded the bootstrap, but couldn't find the initrd in my case). This was actually easy for me to recover, of course. When I cleaned up and re-applied the upgrade, it only gave me the option to upgrade from Dolphin, BTW. So a broken 9.0/9.1/9.1RC1 system looks like 8.2 to DrakX! Cheers /Kevin -- Kevin J.

I recommend Mandrake to everyone I know. As such I get calls to help with installs all the time. These people are ALWAYS encouraged by me to either buy ML or join the club. They almost always do once they see how great ML is. I would say that as the premiere desktop distro, a concerted effort should be made to support winmodems when possible and include all available drivers in the distro along with the tools to autodetect them and install as appropriate. I would say that at least 70-80% of my installs run into a winmodem problem. A newbie has no clue how to go to linmodems.org and get drivers/install etc. When these winmodems are detected, the installer simply suggests the cryptic please visit linmodems.org for more information or something to that effect. Why are the available winmodem drivers not simply included in the distro?? This would be a major plus if Mandrake added this and it would put it even further ahead of the other desktop oriented distros. This one sticking point has always concerned me and as I run into this problem more and more I thought this feature would be EXTREMELY useful to myself and many others who use/recommend ML.

[Cooker] VIA-Rhine timeout problems
Not a bug in mandrake specifically, more a bug in the linux kernel. The default via-rhine driver in the 2.4 kernel has problems resetting the chip on the VIA-Rhine VT6120 and the VT86C100A during a TXAbort. This causes the chip to stall any time load is placed on the network, and the machine has to be powered down to reset it(tried unloading and loading the via-rhine module but this didnt work). Anyway a patch was posted to the kernel mailing list, I tried the patch and it worked perfectly for me, and other people have reported good results with it.

Can someone please tell me what RPM I need to install to get all the themes (like the HeliX Sweetpill ones) that appear in the list in the Sawfish appearance applet? Most of the ones on the list do not work. I have looked through the flat list in rpmdrake and cannot figure it out. I did not have this problem with beta 4. Krum

RE: [Cooker] no bckgrnd w/ gnome+gmc
You're both right! So there! I have the same problem. It is fixed by deleting ~/.gnome/session. So try just doing that, Quel. But the session save/restore is apparently buggered. Any time I check Save session when shutting down Gnome, odds are there's not going to be a background next time I start it. I could just rm .gnome/session every time, but that kind of defeats the purpose of having a session save/restore, no?

RE: [Cooker] 8.2
I hope distro politics isn't too far off topic here. :-) IMO it's the little cosmetic things that will make or break the commercial release. To me, Mandrake is the distro that's gonna save me from Windows hell. I am a bit of a geek, I go to LUG meetings and I even do a little programming, but I'm no great hacker. I'm sorry I can't give bug reports in hex code the way the maintainers seem to want. All I can do is say this doesn't work or that doesn't work and try to be as descriptive as possible. Its things like Evolution forgetting my password, Galeon forgetting the name of the file I'm downloading if I try to change the directory it's saving in, not being able to navigate the tree view in gmc, and Nautilus crashing constantly, that threaten Mandrake's success. I'm not going to let these things keep me from buying the 8.2 box, but others who are less determined probably will. Krum That's why I suggested that the fix be posted to the forum, so we can begin documenting the little fixes that are, for now, of lesser importantance to the maintainers.

RE: [Cooker] zlib malloc issue
From malloc(3):
Recent versions of Linux libc (later than 5.4.23) and GNU
libc (2.x) include a malloc implementation which is tun
able via environment variables. When MALLOC_CHECK_ is
set, a special (less efficient) implementation is used
which is designed to be tolerant against simple errors,
such as double calls of free() with the same argument, or
overruns of a single byte (off-by-one bugs). Not all such
errors can be proteced against, however, and memory leaks
can result. If MALLOC_CHECK_ is set to 0, any detected
heap corruption is silently ignored; if set to 1, a diag
nostic is printed on stderr; if set to 2, abort() is
called immediately. This can be useful because otherwise
a crash may happen much later, and the true cause for the
problem is then very hard to track down.
Setting MALLOC_CHECK_ in /etc/profile might be a good fix until all packages
are updated. It might hurt performance a little but probably not
significantly on a workstation. The following program demonstrates.
(WARNING: This program deliberately tries to corrupt the heap):
#include stdio.h
#include stdlib.h
int main(int argc, char* argv[]) {
void* foo = malloc(16);
free(foo);
free(foo);
printf(Program ran to completion.\n);
}
Without MALLOC_CHECK_ set it segfaults before the printf. With
MALLOC_CHECK_=0 it does not segfault. With MALLOC_CHECK_=1 it prints an
annoying error message but proceeds to the printf. With MALLOC_CHECK_=2 it
prints Abort and terminates before the printf.
For various reasons, many packages (including the kernel) have chunks of
code copied from zlib rather than statically or dynamically linking with it,
so it could be quite a while before this bug is eradicated.

Subject: [Cooker] zlib malloc issue
Hello
it went over several newstickers yesterday, there is a bug
in zlib-1.1.3. Certain input confuses the memory management
of zlib, which leads to crashes or worse, might lead to the
execution of arbitrary code.
The full description is on:
http://www.gzip.org/zlib/advisory-2002-03-11.txt
There is a new version zlib-1.1.4, which fixes this problem.
Unfortunatly there are some programs, which are statically linked
to zlib, they have to be recompiled too.
For a list of programs linking to zlib:
http://www.gzip.org/zlib/apps.html
Redhat has allready patches, including a patched kernel
(kernel ppp compression is also using zlib):
http://www.linuxsecurity.com/advisories/redhat_advisory-1963.html
This issue might be important enough for 8.2 final, although
many packages will be touched. Fixing it via patches leaves a
bad taste, you buy the latest Mandrake and the first thing to do
is updating a bunch of RPMs.
I'm writing this here, because I did not see any postings to this
issue 'til now (maybe I missed something) and the zlib on my
mirror still is version zlib-1.1.3-19mdk.src.rpm.
I hope you will find a good solution.

RE: [Cooker] zlib in cooker
However, as stated above the patch does not fix (REPEAT: This is from my
end, my system) the hole:
$ rpm -q zlib1
zlib1-1.1.3-19mdk
$ cat 2free.c
#include stdio.h
#include stdlib.h
int main(int argc, char* argv[]) {
void* foo = malloc(16);
free(foo);
free(foo);
printf(Program ran to completion.\n);
}
$ export MALLOC_CHECK=2 gcc -o 2free 2free.c ./2free
Segmentation fault (core dumped)
$
I'm afraid I misled with that little program. That doesn't demonstrate the
problem, but it's analogous to the problem with zlib and the intent was to
demonstrate the interim solution of setting MALLOC_CHECK_.

Aspell dicts is an effort to make installing word lists for non-English languages in Aspell straightforward. Support for the following languages is now available: Breton[br] Catalan [ca] Czech [cs] Danish[da] Dutch [nl] Esperanto [eo] Faroese [fo] French[fo] (Standard [fr_FR] and Swiss French [fr_CH] and in three sizes: small, medium and large) French[fr] German[de] (Standard [de_DE] and Swiss German [de_CH]) Italian [it] Norwegian [no] Polish[pl] Portuguese[pt] (Standard [pt_PT] and Brazilian [pt_BR]) Russian [ru] Spanish [es] Swedish [sv] As always you can find them off the Aspell home page (http://aspell.sourceforge.net). Please check them out and let me know what you think. The layout of the dictionaries should now be finalized however I will not declare it final until after the next version of Pspell and Aspell is released. These packages contain everything needed to add support for a given language to Aspell. These packages will also install the necessary files so that the Word List will be correctly recognized by Pspell -- something that is often not handled correctly by Word List author's Aspell packages. Support for variants in languages (such as American, British, Canadian, Swiss German, etc...) is now available, however you currently can not use them from Pspell. To use them with Aspell simply specify the code (for example de_CH for Swiss German) as the dictionary. The next version of Pspell will have this problem corrected. Even though the layout and proc script is not in its final form I strongly encouraged Aspell Word List maintainers to look everything over and attempt to integrate it with your current system to discover problems and shortcomings with my system. Shortly after the next version of Aspell and Pspell is released I will allow authors to take over maintenance of there Word Lists using the new system. I have not worked out all the details however the one basic rule is that the word list package *must* be create with make dist. This will insure that everything is OK and will force you to have everything in a standard format. Also, I am especially interested in feedback from Package Maintainers (RPM, Debian, etc.). Since the layout of the packages should now be in the final form now would be a very good time to work on creating new Aspell dictionary packages using my new system to discover problems and shortcomings with it. I want to make my system powerful enough so that you can package it with out having to patch anything, including the Makefile. So if you discover the need for this I would appreciate you letting me know about it. Suggestions are more than welcome, but patches to the proc script (the script which does all the real work) are even more welcome. I am also strongly interested in what you think about the layout of the dictionary files and language names. Major changes from the last version: Renamed the code entry to lang. Added support for multiple dictionaries in a single package. This included support for variants in languages and multiple sizes. Enhanced the build system so that the aspell, pspell-config, and word-list-compress command can now be specified either as environmental variables or on the command line when running configure. Also added DESTDIR support and support for specifying additional flags to pass on to Aspell when creating the word list. --- Kevin Atkinson kevina at users sourceforge net http://www.ibiblio.org/kevina/
[Cooker] Official Non-English Word Lists Packages Now Available (fwd)
Thought this might be of interest since you have Aspell dictionaries in your distribution. Sorry for posting it to the list, there did not seam to be any single maintainer of the Aspell packages. -- Kevin Atkinson kevina at users sourceforge net http://www.ibiblio.org/kevina/ -- Forwarded message -- Date: Fri, 15 Jun 2001 06:08:01 -0400 (EDT) From: Kevin Atkinson [EMAIL PROTECTED] To: [EMAIL PROTECTED] Subject: Official Non-English Word Lists Packages Now Available [Please redistribute this announcement as you see fit] In an effort to make installing word lists for non-English languages in Aspell straightforward I have decided to release foreign language dictionaries in a standard format. A preliminary version of my efforts are currently available at the Aspell home page (http://aspell.sourceforge.net). There you will find support for the following languages: Breton (br), Catalan (ca), Czech (cs), Danish (da), Dutch (nl), Esperanto (eo), Faroese (fo), French (fo), French (fr), German (de), Italian (it), Norwegian (no), Polish (pl), Russian (ru), Spanish (es), Swedish (sv). Please check them out and let me know what you think, but please keep in mind that these are preliminary and subject to change. These packages contain everything needed to add support for a given language to Aspell. These packages will also install the necessary files so that the Word List will be correctly recognized by Pspell -- something that is often not handled correctly by Word List author's Aspell packages. Support for variants in languages (such as American, British, Canadian, Swiss German, etc...) is not yet available as I am currently not sure the best way to do this. However, support *will* be available by the next version of Pspell and Aspell as I am planning on also packaging the English dictionaries this way and distribute it separately. Authors of the word lists used to create these packages are encouraged to check them out to make sure I did things correctly. In the near future I will allow you (the word list author) to maintain the packages your self, but for right now I want to maintain tight control over them as the format is not quite finalized yet. Also, I am especially interested in feedback from Package Maintainers (RPM, Debian, etc.) as the Makefile is rather primitive and probably does not install things correctly nor support the options needed by maintainers to make package simple. Suggestions are more than welcome, but patches to the proc script (the script which does all the real work) are even more welcome. I am also strongly interested in what you think about the layout of the dictionary files and language names. Technical Notes for Word List authors and Package Maintainers In order to make things as straight forward, portable, and uniform, I have decided to enforce the following rules. 1) All language names are now the two letter ISO code (en, da) etc. 2) The actual dictionary files must all start with the two letter code and end in .rws and may only contain ASCII characters. 3) Alias are created using Aspell's multi files and not symbolic links. These rules are very different from the current way dictionaries are handled but I fell they will make life easier for everyone. The reason for the first rule is because in the past the Aspell language names were a mixture of the name spelled out in English and the name spelled out in the native language and in some cases involved non-ASCII characters which was just asking for trouble on non-Unix like platforms and probably some older Unix ones. Some people want as far as doing it both ways by symbolically linking one language data file to the other. This amazingly worked but it is a complete abuse of how languages names and data files are meant to be used. Finally others, thought that language variants (American, Swiss German, etc.) should be considered separate languages and either attempt to specify them as a language at the command line, for example trying aspell --lang=canadian ... or creating separate data files for them. All of this did no good but to confuse people so I wanted to formalize this and was originally planning on using the language name spelled out in ASCII characters but released that in many cases I didn't know what this should be so I decided to go with the universal known language codes. The second rule is there so that is is clear which words lists belong to which languages. I require them to be all ASCII characters for maximum portability. However, the end user is not expected to use these words lists directly. Instead they are expected to use one of the aliases created via the .multi file. These alias can be anything what so every and may included non ASCII characters. Symbolic links are not used as there are Unix specific and not supported by Win32. Non-ASCII characters are okay for aliases as they can simply not be installed on platforms which

RE: [Cooker] Reasons FOR Mandrake...
I can't find my last Suse Install CD I had bought (6.3), so I can't verify or disprove my memory, but I thought that the reason for this limitation was because of the included, licensed, software provided with it.

Now, Ease of Use is clearly a big advantage of Mandrake. How about all those other things? I am not sure at this time, it's been a while since last time I touched a SuSe install, but...their license for YAST/YAST2 says (used to say?) that you can't do multiple installs from the same CD...you actually have (had?) to dld an image for each install or buy a boxed set for each boxthis is the #1 reason why I never liked SuSe and never plan on touching itI'm all for companies making money, but I hate restrictions like that. As a matter of fact, that's the main reason why my LUG doesn't use SuSe (2 of the 3 people that take decisions in the LUG use SuSe) during installfests or for the CDs we give away. Also, the security levels of Mandrake give it a big advantage, IMNSHO.

Thanks. That would be a big benefit for me, since I would like the option of backing up my Win2K laptop directly to a large file, rather than several smaller files. And the backup program doesn't support compression. Kevin Krieser wrote: So does this mean that, when I upgrade, I will have to reformat my partitions? There should be an option "-o conv" on mount, to convert 3.5 to 3.6, but sincerely I never tested. Note also that 3.6 is not supported by kernek 2.2.X for now.

System was booted from the Install ISO placed in the CD burner (this may be the root cause of the bug, but anyway): Problem: When the installation script told me to insert the second CD (EXT), it failled to unmount the first one...This is a gotcha. I poked around on the framebuffer console and could not deduce which process was either standing on the mount point or holding a file open. Indeed, you could not get past this :-( Installation was effectively stopped at this point :-( The rest of the script ran just fine until boot time when I ran into the already reported problem with inability to load the scsi kernel module. Fixed by booting my old 2.4.0 kernel from 7.2 (I *love* GRUB). Problem: The install changed the VGA= kernel parameters to: vga=0x0122 for each entry. This caused the screen to remain black :-( The entry I use is vga=791 which works just fine. I don't know why the installation changed this parameter for my old kernel.

[Cooker] 7.2 on Dell Laptops - solutions to X problems
For information to the Mandrake team :-) The ATI Rage Mobility P graphics devices on the Dell Inspiron range of laptops seem to be upset by the X configuration generated by the installation process. Symptoms are: the system completely freezes (can't even be ping'd) when the screen is placed in the low power state. There seems to be two 100% effective workarounds: (1) Select Xfree 3.3.6 and not V4 (2) Select V4 and then manually edit the config file - comment out the "option DPMS" line. Also on these machines the framebuffer kernel does not seem to inter-operate with either XFree 3 or 4 properly. After leaving the Xconfiguration during the install process, the framebuffer display is completely unreadable - it looks like it wraps around on itself. This is also a problem if you choose to boot with Aurora - when you shut the machine down you get a hideous flashing screen, likewise if you try the virtual consoles. This is a problem which still needs a fix! Thanks to Vadim Plessky, Chmouel Boudjnah and Franco Silvestro for their helpful and useful suggestions. /Kevin -- Kevin J.

[Cooker] 7.2 Problem on Dell Laptop
I have installed 7.2 on My Dell Inspiron 7000 laptop and now have the following strange behaviour: Leave the machine alone and it hangs - hard! Need to powercycle. Occasionally X crashes (V4). The machine was previously running 7.1 + Cooker parts perfectly. Any clues? I've made sure apmd is running (I can close the lid, take the machine home and then open the lid and it all comes back to life..). I'm very suspicious that it's a bad interaction with V4 of XFree86 and the power management. Prior to installing 7.1 I was running V4 from Cooker without problems, however. I've also tried to install 3.3.6 from the distribution (via DrakConf) and this hangs the machine when it tries to test the configuration. For completenes, the XFree86 log file from /var/log is attached. When X crashes and re-starts it crashes with a Sig 11, if that is any help - and always when I've just typed a character or moved the rodent. Smells like an input device problem. This is a complete *virgin* install, too - I haven't (yet) futzed with it. /Kevin -- Kevin J.
