Re: Re: [expert] something very weid with 8.1
Well...i finished with the install of 8.1 final and so far everything appears to be working nicely. guess i'll keep my eye on this one for a while before i'm confident that it will be worry free. RC1 was nice, but it was flaky. as was beta3. but thats why they call it "beta". i'm curious about something though. why'd they release RC1 and then not a week later the "final" release of Mdk 8.1 was on the servers?

I've only had 8.1 setup and running on the machine for a few days. It had been working beautifully. In fact, I had imap AND pop3 accounts working using Sylpheed that were being accessed on my machine. None of the mail clients on my machine can connect to the mailserver and get the mail. i know "where" it is, just can't get from there here. know what i mean? As for the CD-RW thats the only CDROM device on the machine and that what i loaded the system with. then, last night when i realized "what" was actually wrong with the mail server - imapd either is broken or won't stay running - i slammed CD1 into the drive and promptly told that that device wasn't recognized by the system. I guess at this point I should mention that the version of Mandrake is 8.1beta3. Still, it is all very perplexing. while I would very much rather NOT go back to 7.2 simply because i want to be able to run glibc-2.2.x i'm going to try and load the final release of 8.1 onto the system. i've got that one running here at work and so far it seems to be ok.

[expert] something very weid with 8.1
HI list, After many painful attempts at getting Mandrake 8.1 to install on my old AMD system at home, the strangest thing i've ever seen has happened. No matter what i do, and mean that literally, cause i think i've tried everything i can think of, i can not log into the mailserver and get my mail. that would be the mail server "on" the machine itself and not the one at my ISP. I've been doing mail like this ever since i started using Linux. i just like it that way. anyhow, this one has really got me stumped. And to make matter worse it lost my CD-RW drive and i can't remember just how to go about setting that back up so i can use it. otherwise i would just reinstall the imap package to get the mail going again. the consistant error i'm getting back when i attempt to get my mail from the system mailserver is an authentication error. and yes, i checked to make sure it was running. as far as i could tell it was. things like this are quite a bit different then they were/are in Mandrake 7.2 so it's going to take a bit of time for me to get used to where they've put everything. as always, any and all suggestions and or flames are graciously accepted. thanks, Mark Want to buy your Pack or Services from MandrakeSoft?

Re: Re: [expert] kde1-compat {follow-up}
I hate it when I'm right like this sometimes. Not 10 minutes ago I finished what I was doing in windows, *shudder* and attempted to boot back into Mandrake. Only to recieve kernel panic messages. I say message(s) because I have more than one fully configured, working kernels. All having something specifically unique in their configuration and and nature. All, share one thing in common as far as the error goes. All report that they're unable to mount root fs. All, but one report FAT bread failed. I've never seen this error message before so I don't have a clue what this one means. Anyone have any ideas what's going on? I won't be able to use the rescue feature on the install CD's till I get to work tomorrow and can retrieve the disks from my desk. Once again I've proven a tried and true truth...if it ain't broke DON'T TRY AND FIX IT! KDE2 can wait till Hell freezes over for all I care. That installation of Mandrake was the nicest I've ever seen and now it appears to be dieing of a severe case of KDE2's disease and operator stupidity for falling prey to the dreaded affliction known as Upgrade-itis. Damn-it! All this just for Koffice.

Re: Re: [expert] kde1-compat
Sadly, its beginning to appear that installing KDE2 into a box that is currently running KDE1 is entirely more trouble than its worth. I've been working on getting just this accomplished for 3 days now with No success, and am now of the strong opinion that the only correct way to get it done is to just install Mandrake 7.2 and be done with it! Till you get done screwing around satisfying the meriad of dependancy issues which come up due to the stark reality of the incompatibility of a system which has been running KDE1 you run a 50/50 risk of roaching that system by causing more library conflicts, and possibly damaging the system mucking about TRYING to install something on a system that wasn't designed for KDE2! I know...a sentance does not a paragraph make, but I had to get that off my chest. I've collected over 30 RPM's and still counting attempting to install KDE2 on my Mandrake 7.1 system. God! my head hurts from keeping all that crap that I've been doing straight in my head. And all this just get friggin Koffice installed and working. It STILL doesn't work, nor do I have any hopes that it will ever work. Of course, I have another plan that I'm considering. That is to make a fresh install of Mandrake minus KDE at all and when the sytem comes up after the install I would install KDE2 fresh from the RPM's that I've squirreled away these last 3 days.
