Re: [expert] Can't Pinpoint Problem - Experts Please Help.
Bill, Thanks very much for suggesting Netscape 4.73 128bit. Since installing Netscape, I've taken some time in trying to repeat the problem and wasn't able to. I remember ld-linux.so.2 being a problem in my early days of trying Linux and just forgot about it. Would you happen to know why ld-linux.so.2 causes that problem? And, how is ld-linux.so.2 related to the function of Netscape? And why doesn't the 128bit version have the problem? Again, many thanks!

This seems to be the case with all mpegs I've tried to play, so I don't think the files are corrupted. The MPEGs play just fine in Windows.

I must agree that Mdk7 is rather buggy. I've had to reinstall many times and it seemed to act different each time. After two machines, I told friends that they would have to wait or I would install Mdk6 instead. Mdk6 was a successful install the first time and the same everytime.

(long) When I first installed it, I really liked Mdk 7.0-2 - real nifty new installer, supermount, XFree3.3.6, the first graphical install to work with my SiS 6326 chip, ... Yes, I thought it was really nice. Then the cracks started to appear - sound card that worked under Ver 6 wouldn't install under 7, Netscape had yucky bw icons, cd burner not linked properly, and wouldn't burn when it was, wheel mouse that wheeled without help under 6 didn't under 7, partitioning tool buggy, expert install option absolutely unusable - how the hell do you know what is selected and what isn't? - the "magic 50%" install rule - it only fills your partition to 50%, regardless of what you really wanted, ... Now, weeks later, some of the above are fixed and some aren't, but I put it down to my "el cheapo" buying - PCchips motherboard, ide cdrw, etc and lack of knowledge/skill - ie my fault... Today, I feel differently. We have had a Mdk 6 machine at work for some time, and its supervisor today decided to install 7.0-2 . He started by booting from a boot floppy, the install locked when it tried to initialize the CD. So I suggested that he set the BIOS to boot from CD (it was previously set to boot from the floppy, then the ide drive.) and this time the install went nicely, until he hit the expert select packages fiasco - he couldn't make any more sense of it than I could - so he cancelled that and started again, this time being careful not to select expert! It loaded the packages (why is Mandrake so slow doing this, compared to red hat?) and then locked up as it started the X configuration. Rebooted the machine, everything started up well, but no X. At this stage my colleague threw the ver 7 cd in the bin, and will be putting 6 back on the machine next week. (No - he doesn't want to know how to fix it, or what went wrong.) Also today, I installed the BeOS 5 (Personal Edition) operating system that I downloaded last night. It really just unpacked the files. I rebooted the machine, and hey! presto ... BeOS! Funny, video worked, sound worked, Cdrw burnt cd's, ... all with NO installation questions, NO how-to's, No hassles. OK - so there is nothing written for BeOS yet, and I'm not serious about keeping it, just curious, BUT, it proved you can write a hassle free installer THAT WORKS! OK - back to Linux - the current attitude that if something didn't work, it's because you didn't read the instructions or your hardware is faulty IS SIMPLY NOT ACCEPTABLE to me any more - If it doesn't work FIRST TIME it's because its broken, and needs fixing. The first Linux distribution that produces a hassle free installer that works (no if's, but's, or maybe's - I mean works - full stop!) WILL SUCCEED, all the rest will only be installed by enthusiasts (which I still count myself among) and are doomed to their rightful resting place in the garbage bin. Now, it's time for my big decision - Do I, like my colleague, consign the Ver 7 install I have spent so much time on to oblivion, and go back to Ver 6 because it worked, or do I persevere, and try to get 7 up and running properly, or, perhaps, do I try RedHat 6.2, or just wait for a distro with kernel 2.4 XFree 4? I really don't know, and I really don't expect anyone else to decide for me, I just know that my perceptions of install problems will never be the same again.

If the device is valid and it really contains an ext2 filesystem (and not swap or usf or something else), then the superblock is corrupt, and you might try running e2fsck with an alternate superblock: e2fsck -b 8193 (device)" I tried e2fsck but don't quite understand it.
