Reset the path when the app is closed... Ok... step 3 is the sticking point. If I open an app using 1.2's jre then an app using 1.4's I'm winding up with a confused app because I've got two java commands in the path. or at least this is what I anticipate happening. Am I barking up the wrong tree here or.. if I'm really lucky is this one of those things that happens right without intervention on my part. James Want to buy your Pack or Services from MandrakeSoft?

Re: [expert] USB card reader support on 9.0 ?
Hello, I'm having a similar problem with my generic USB Card Reader. I tried making some devices using MAKEDEV but that did not seem to work. The messages file shows that the kernel realizes the reader is there but not device was created to mount.

Re: [expert] New LM 9.0 Install - another SCSI System
I REALLY Don't understand this. The First installation on this machine (yesterday afternoon), went flawlessly, using the traditional installation method. Today I noticed that there were some issues with the machine not running well, so I decided to perform another Installation. That's when the problems were encountered. Now, after selecting the alt2 method of booting, the filesystem reformats without issue. Now after package selection, I am installing rpms once again. BTW, the ALT2 (boot from Installation CD #2) indicated that this was an 8.2 installation??? HELLO? Mandrake, Have you heard of Quality Control? Albert E.

Speaking of which...I have discovered a reliable way to produce an rpm database problem, at least with Mandrake 8.2. Run rpm -qa and stop it before it finishes with a Ctrl-C (it will proceed to list every single rpm installed with the aforementioned command). For me, every time, it wrecks the database and requires that I do a rebuilddb. Why do this in the first place? By accident. I have been looking for a specific subset of packages but hit the Enter key before entering the rest of the search parameters.

RE: [expert] NFS permissions
Look at the files in /var/lib/nfs and edit the one that has the incorrect entry (rmtab, I think). Bill Shirley -Original Message- From: [EMAIL PROTECTED] [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED]]On Behalf Of Brian Parish Sent: Tuesday, December 03, 2002 6:15 PM To: [EMAIL PROTECTED] Subject: Re: [expert] NFS permissions showmount just showed everything exported to everyone. I have now removed the /data export and rebooted everything to see what happens. After this: # showmount -e server Export list for server: /public (everyone) /home/brian (everyone) and some more # showmount -a server All mount points on server: 192.168.0.253:/data 192.168.0.253:/home/brian 192.168.0.253:/public and some more /data still shows up on the -a list (but not on the -e list) after having been removed from exports and the server (and clients) rebooted. ...and of course if I put it back in exports and attempt to mount it, I get the same permissions error. Explicitly adding hostnames or networks in exports makes no difference. Seems like the /data export has been somehow corrupted in a way which persists between reboots. Is there some sort of cache on disk somewhere that needs to be flushed? I imagine that if I remounted the /data partition under another mount point and exported that, everything would work, but that's just avoiding the problem rather than understanding it, so I'd like to persevere for the moment. thanks for the interest!

[expert] setup of serial ports
Okay, I'm feeling really stupid. I want to set up a box via serial cable. It is an openbsd configuration that needs a serial connect. Problem is it just now occurs to me that my mandrake 9.0 box doesn't recognize I have any serial ports. ??? What is up with that? XP sees them fine. Hard drake sees like 6 usb ports but no serial. I went to do a makedev and that doesn't even exist. ?? Has it be changed to something better? Serial is pretty darned basic. And while I'm at it, what happened to the hardware detection routine when booting that mandrake had that would detect a change? That is either broken or removed?

Of course, this is Mozilla, which means there probably will be one. =)
But it'll only go in updates if it fixes a security problem.
Otherwise, your best bet would be to look at Club.
