Re: [expert] USB problem
Is the USB port mounted as a filesystem/storage device on automount? I have the same kind of problem with my ATAPI IDE cdrw drive... it's automounted at startup and does not respond (device is busy) but if i su and umount it then insert media and remount it works fine. (still haven't quite figured out how to allow regular users to mount/umount grrr. oh well low priority) I know it's a I-tried-this-and-it-worked answer but it's something to try. best of luck with it, i cant get my fugi camera to work under linux at all, so you're doin' better than I HTH :-) Jerry -- Last night I had THAT DREAM again. I dreamed I had to take a test in a Dairy Queen on another planet. And I looked around and there was this woman. And she was... making it all up. And she was... writing it all down. And she was laughing. She was laughing her head off! And I said, HEY!

My Kodak DC3400 camera is auto-detected by gphoto2 correctly as being connected to the USB port. Yet when I try to use the camera an error message tells me that the USB port is busy. Busy doing what I wonder? Anyway, I have nothing else connected to the port. Could this be a hardware compatibility problem between the camera and the USB port? I have an A-Bit LX6 motherboard that is on the list of Linux compatible boards. The camera does work correctly under Microsoft Windows on the same motherboard. -- Regards, Phil [EMAIL PROTECTED] Want to buy your Pack or Services from MandrakeSoft?

[expert] mdk8.0 crashes
hi folk, have a weird problem with my mdk9.0 box : the system : a 350 MHZ AMD 256 MB-RAM IDE-harddrives (3) network: Hersteller: Realtek Semiconductor Co., Ltd. Modell: RTL-8139 Kern Modul: rtl8139 Bus-Typ: PCI - Hersteller: 3Com Corporation Modell: 3c905B 100BaseTX [Cyclone] Kern Modul: 3c59x Bus-Typ: PCI - the RTL-8139 is connected to a DSL-Modem from Alcatel the 3c59x is connected to the internat network. the DSL can only be driven with the pptp-modul, because my provider has only this protocol-possibility. now - everytime, I call the connection, the system crashes after a few hours. what I have done to get a control for this behavior is : have disabled as much as possibilties of services like: firewall, ipchains, iptable, ssh i.e. and I have made a remote login from another linuxbox - but during the crash I lost the connection to the mdk-box. so I could do only a hard-reset. so only this protocol was activ. another test was - running the box with NOT calling the pptp-modul for a few days, and the system was running stable of about a week or so. no crash. is it possible, that this modul pptp has a bug, or do I have some dependencies, which are a possible source for errors. if so, how can a make a circle about this - how can I do more test, to get rid of that ? is anyone there, who have some experiences with such a behavior ? thanks a lot for helping me bye hans schneidhofer Want to buy your Pack or Services from MandrakeSoft?

You didn't say what kernel modules were being loaded for the network cards. I'd start looking there first since I've found that Mandrake's probing process has led to the wrong nic module being loaded (especially in the case of the realtek nic). This can definitely freeze the machine in the way you describe. what I have done to get a control for this behavior is : have disabled as much as possibilties of services like: firewall, ipchains, iptable, ssh i.e. and I have made a remote login from another linuxbox - but during the crash I lost the connection to the mdk-box. so I could do only a hard-reset. so only this protocol was activ. another test was - running the box with NOT calling the pptp-modul for a few days, and the system was running stable of about a week or so. no crash. is it possible, that this modul pptp has a bug, or do I have some dependencies, which are a possible source for errors. if so, how can a make a circle about this - how can I do more test, to get rid of that ? is anyone there, who have some experiences with such a behavior ? thanks a lot for helping me bye hans schneidhofer I hope that's it, good luck!

[expert] special mandrake kernel for hyperthreaded xeons?
Hi, A friend pointed out that Suse have a special release of their Enterprise edition, with special optimizations for Hyperthreaded Xeons. http://www.suse.com/us/press/press_releases/archive02/sles_xeon.html I use Mandrake on my workstation - kernel is now 2.4.19-pre7-ac2 with preempt-kernel and low-latency patches. Does anyone know if there is a mandrake version of the kernel with special support for a dual Xeon with hyperthreading workstation? My current configuration sees 4 logical processors, but all interrupts are handled by processor 0, and the scheduler does not seem to take account of sibling logical processors. Setting processor affinity seems to require more patches as well. Any suggestions appreciated. Thanks, niall Want to buy your Pack or Services from MandrakeSoft? Go to http://www.mandrakestore.com
Re: [expert] mkd 8.1 crash after last update!
Ricardo, It could well be kde3 I'm not sure. I can't pin anything down yet myself because I'm not getting any error messages except X server died suddenly But a couple of others have also expressed problems with either X dieing or in your case the box rebooting. No answers yet just a tone of questions. The only way to restart X for me after it does die is to reboot. James On Sat, 8 Jun 2002 17:07:23 -0300 (BRT) Ricardo Castanho de O.

Postfix would give me mail delivery failures and lots of Unable to send for the last 4 hours, still trying messages. My problem appeared/appears to be a two-fold problem. First, my domain wasn't acceptable to the mandrake (or kde) mailservers - a dns problem that I fixed. Second, it depends on which ISP I use. Purdue doesn't give a rat's that I have my own mailserver. That mail gets through fine. ISPWest, my alternate (under testing), doesn't like it, so it seems, since my mails posted through a connection to them fails. 1. What is different about the way you post messages that ARE getting through vs those that aren't? 2. Are you sure your domain/name is fully and properly setup? 3.
