Re: [expert] Cant Delete File SOLVED
Ok thank you for all the suggestions, they were more than I knew to try. I accidentally stumbled onto the solution. I booted to a backup version of 9.1 I have on a little drive, loaded the raid drivers and tried to delete the file, still no progress. Over the past couple of days I've tried to run fsck but it always says its clean. Looked on the man page and there was my answer. fsck -f I got tons of really strange errors, after all was said and done, fsck somehow made the file dissappear.

[expert] Cant Delete File
Hello, I am hoping someone can give me some advice on how to delete a file. Apparently the directory /usr/local/netscape/chrome/ got hosed and it shows up as a 2.2gb file and not a directory any longer. EXT3 file system, file system check shows no problem. The file shows OWNER: 35327 and I can not create a user that starts with a number to delete it that way. GROUP: 3277717500 (kde) -10172497 (midnight commander) this may just be how shell and kde display the number (signed number??) I added both of these groups and added root to both groups and I still cant do anything with the file. Any Suggestions?? Thank You Jack Want to buy your Pack or Services from MandrakeSoft?

I have used both the High Point drivers and the ataraid drivers with success. I dont recall having a kernel panic on the 9.x series mandrake, however the 8.x series I did. I have a Soyo PS4 Dragon Ultra. Diskdrake hoses the raid array when writing the partition table during an install. with Mandrake 8.x I had to use the highpoint drivers, as the Ataraid drivers would not function for me. With Mandrake 9.x the ataraid drivers finally worked, for the highpoint driver you had to disable some stuff and re-compile the kernel. I can access a fat32 and ntfs partition on the raid 0 array. The biggest drawback is I have never been able to boot from the array. I installed to a regular drive. Loaded the ataraid and hptraid modules so I could access the drive. Built an initrd with ataraid and hptraid (plus journaling FS and ext3) modules. Edit the lilo.conf so that it uses the new initrd and run lilo, then moved the installation to the raid 0 array. In this way if I ever have a problem with the array I can still boot linux off the regular drive and fix any problems. When all is done only the MBR and /boot are used off of the regular drive.

Looking back at the logs, it is trying to > initialize the 366 Highpoint driver at the point that it dies in a panic. That is what caused the panic, was the 366 driver, but with 9.1 I dont recall having that problem. I may have removed the 366 module or something. I remember there was info abt it in the highpoint driver package. Jack Want to buy your Pack or Services from MandrakeSoft? Go to http://www.mandrakestore.com
[expert] Kdeprint not passing enviroment to ghostscript??
Hello all, I have been troubleshooting my print system and have hit a brick wall. I am using Mandrake 9.0 , Cups for the spooler, HP Deskjet 712 (foomatic+pnm2ppa) , ghostscript. I can print any graphic file from kdeprint, but text files never print. The cups error log shows ghostscript can not find a font and can not substitute for the font and gives the following: Unable to substitute for font. Error: /invalidfont in findfont NOW, at this point it seems to be a ghostscript configuration problem, However if I use LP at a command line it will print text files perfectly. The fonts do exist in /usr/share/fonts/default/Type1 and reading the ghostscript docs I tried adding that to GS_LIB and GS_FONTPATH then exporting them and this did not let GS find the fonts. I tried putting links to the fonts in the directory /usr/share/cups/fonts. I ran the KDE addprinter and in directories I added /usr/share/fonts/default/Type1 and ghostscript to the font directories. I found one of the scripts that made GS_FONTPATH=$CUPSFONTPATH, this may not be the exact cups variable but close. I could find nothing in cups that set this variable, looks like it is set by cups from the /etc/cupsd.conf. I have Mandrake 9.0 installed on a small hard drive with the stock kernel and it will print. I have compared all the configuration files that seemed relevant and nothing looks out of place. This has been going on for abt 3 weeks and I'm about to pull out what hair I have left. I'm sure there's something I have over-looked. I know Cups, Foomatic, Ghostscript, PNM2PPA and probably other things are involved but I can not figure out how LP can print and kdeprint fails. BTW I have an error log with just 1 small print job if it would help. Thanks for listening, any help or direction would be appreciated. Jack Want to buy your Pack or Services from MandrakeSoft?

Re: [expert] konqueror in KDE 2.1 final misrendering
ASP works fine on any browser if you're just looking at a site. All the browser ever gets is just the html with an .asp extension. Any problems with rendering are usually due to bad HTML support or (more likely) bad CSS (bad CSS engine, wrong fonts, etc) The only lack of complete support for ASP is the server-sides stuff. The few ASP modules for Apache aren't too well developed yet (but they're coming along very nicely). And I don't think I've ever seen an IDE or an editor that can do syntax highlighting for ASP script writing. Your best bet is to change to PHP (which works well on windows and linux systems and offers pretty much the same functionality without the guilt of being a slave to IIS development).

The problem seems to be due to compiling modutils with the compiler option -fomit-frame-pointer. This update is a rebuild of modutils without that compiler option so it will work when libsafe is used.
