Dave Welcome to the hell of 9.0 on a laptop... just for starters, I've removed shorewall and msec from mine. Reliability is so bad (I don't have the HD space to install more than one distro, and won't install 9.0 on any other system I own or support) that I'm lucky to go a week without rebooting... see my weird time/mouse bug post last night for the latest (apmd changes the time the time change kills mouse's drag functions -- resetting the time fixes the mouse -- go figre!!) :^P That said, have you used suspend/resume? That's the worst offender for me... so bad that I just shutdown/reboot instead... with suspend/resume, I lose sound, printer, and looking at a hard lockup within an hour or so... hmm maybe due to the time change or anything UNrelated... Also, are you sure the printer is not working at all... I had one problem that cleared up as mysteriously as it appeared... printing would take several minutes to start -- cups was trying to access my LinkSys gateway, probably thinking it should act as a print server or somesuch... Then, there were the cases where the only way to get the printer working again was to remove and re-create it... 9.0 on a laptop == lots of luck and patience needed IMO.

Working is clear, defective is elusive. Have you tried making a boot floppy diskette? If the contents will copy to your hard disk, you could try a hard disk install. This is also a time to find Linux friends in your area, It is likely at least one could help you set up a network install.

I'm using 8.2 with the smp kernel (Tyan S2466 2xAthlon MP1600+) and a Matrox G450 for two heads and Voodoo3 PCI for the third head. If I use menudrake to add a program, not only do I immediately drop to the dumbed down menu, I lose displays :0.1 and :0.2 after logging back in and the system becomes unstable (especially kmail and konqueror).

[expert] 8.2 msec security issue
Mandrake 8.2 has a default security setting that leaves users' home directories world readable. I just read that you can enter other user's home directories and subdirectories and read the files. The Mandrake msec level by default choice is Standard. If you chmod each user's home dir to 700, upon reboot it reverts back to what it was before. If setting are changed in the Mandrake Control Center from Standard to High then users home dir is 711, 700 would be better though. Any thoughts? Want to buy your Pack or Services from MandrakeSoft? Go to http://www.mandrakestore.com
Re: [expert] 8.2 msec security issue
700 is fine as long as you don't want your users to have webpages. If you don't plan to allow them to have a website (or no one uses it but yourself), then you can have it set to 700. If you have the user as a member in the apache group, and have the directory owned by the apache group, then you can remove the execute permission from other (not sure what mode that is). Basically: user part of apache group - can enter the directory, but not list anything. Even if they do know the specific name of a file in the directory, they won't be able to write to it unless it is both owned by the apache group and writable by the apache group (or has write permission enabled for other). user not part of apache group - cannot enter directory, can't list anything. If you want to keep websites enabled for your users, that's basically the best you're going to do, other than locking down any unneeded services.

Go into /usr/share/msec and edit the perm.3 file /home/* to whatever permissions you like, 700 for what you are looking to do... or alternatively, use the higher security setting in the mandrake control center although using the Mandrake control center will change permissions other than your home/* directories. -Jay Mandrake 8.2 has a default security setting that leaves users' home directories world readable.

Re: [expert] 8.2 and IBM ThinkPad i1250
-BEGIN PGP SIGNED MESSAGE- Hash: SHA1 I was actually running version 7.2 and very happy with it, except for minor problems with my graphics card, which forced me to boot windows first, and then Mandrake. So, I asked on this list if I could upgrade to version 8.0, and civilme clearly advised me to stay out of it, lest I wanted to send my notebook back to the factory for replacement. So I installed SuSE 7.2 and it works perfectly, and I don't even have windows anymore. Problem is, I sell Mandrake locally and it is a pain to explain to people why I sell LM and use SuSE. I'd give it a try, were it not for my fear of burning this thing to ashes. My confusion lies in the fact that I can run SuSE, and not LM, when Linux should be the same OS. How can I tell LM not to install lm_sensors (which I think is used by KDE)? Should I install Gnome and hope it'll be safe? Thank you. El Jue 16 May 2002 10:35, escribiste: Curios on this one.

[expert] 8.2 Install second ide cdrom bug
I am really looking for the correct place to send bug reports. Can someone please direct me to the correct place for this. I recently installed Mandrake 8.2 and my second ide dvd drive was recognised and configured except the scsi emulation was missed. I had to add it to the append=devfs= ... line in lilo.conf. Then I had to correct /etc/fstab to match. It seems to be mostly OK now. Before the fix the drive was not discovered by any cd burning applications.

Why make we VAIO folk feel unloved? until I tried to recompile the kernel with acpi instead of apm. Can you elaborate on this? I know that acpi is newer and better than apm, and that's about all I know. I am surprised that LM8.2 does not provide acpi support right off the cd. Can you write up exactly what you did? It has more to do with how the ACPI folks decided to distribute the patches more than anything. The ACPI code that comes with 2.4.18 is way out of date and is only a partial set -- it is missing the battery interface and support and other stuff. So, you have to go to sourceforge and get the most up to date patch and install it. At the time, the only patch available was for 2.4.17 and I was having problems back fitting it. Then there was the which version of the compiler to use problem (2.91.66, 2.95.3, 2.96, or 3.0.4). I ended up using 3.0.4, but that is after I got the most recent patch from sourceforge. Prior to that (i.e. what is shipped with Mandrake 8.2), the kernel build fails with macros and symbols already defined errors. I still do not have acpid or ospmd working with it yet, but it for lack of trying rather than anything technical. I would give you more detail, but it has been a while since I did it and things are a bit fuzzy now. As I remember it, it is straight forward if you are used to gcc, c, and the error messages they generate. If you get stuck, feel free to email me. Seeing an error again will help me to remember more clearly. Al Niessner Want to buy your Pack or Services from MandrakeSoft? Go to http://www.mandrakestore.com

Just remember to take away the keyboard and monitor from the firewall box and make changes from the local LAN with a browser. Setting up the usual config files on SNF doesn't work because they are reloaded from other config files... Lots of experts tripped on that one.

[expert] 8.2 install exited abnormally on laptop 16MB RAM. PCMCIA, NFS
People have suggested that my problem may be memory-size related, but 1) non-laptop 16MB didn't have this problem, 2)I would presume when the installation script starts, it checks the amount of the available memory, and no warning appeared on screen nor in logs. We want to have the same linux distribution on all the machines here. Well so I started with downloaded 8.2 mandrake installing it onto a 16MB Pentium 133 laptop. But it is not working out for us here so far. Any advice ? (Since we don't have access to a CDROM burner, it has to be an NFS install, and on this laptop it has to be with PCMCIA.) we tried installing as linux display=... and text, but both give us same result: Got images/pcmcia.img. Booted, selected text install, it detected PCMCIA, network card. Found mdk 8.2 on NFS server, disconnected life support systems and the famous last words were: found /tmp/network found network config file /tmp/ifcfg-eth0 found network config file /tmp/resolv.conf and on Alt-1 I got: in second stage install and about 2 seconds after Alt-2 gives a prompt, install exited abnormally :-( sending termination signals...done any advice is appreciated. We would really like to use mandrake on our machines here. ... thanks, john (To get linux onto the laptop, which linux distro should I try next?) I should add: I don't need to install any graphical software on the laptop. I don't need to run any desktop on it. (even though being able to start an X app on the laptop, displaying it over ethernet on a nearby desktop would be nice). Also I just tried a text install on a 16MB machine (not laptop), using network.img, and the installation did not bomb out after going second stage ... So is there something wrong with the PCMCIA install ? __ Music, Movies, Sports, Games! http://entertainment.yahoo.ca Want to buy your Pack or Services from MandrakeSoft?

[expert] 8.2: ps2 wheel mouse crashes: SOLVED
Actually computers are a mistery! Do you remember my problem in a computer that with 8.2 didn't recognize a ps2 wheel mouse?; it had also problem with lilo to change anything: error: image not found. Whell, today I decided to do an actuallization as expert but not selecting new packages; I started with the serial mouse but with the ps2 wheel mouse attached also to the computer; I selected, as other times, the ps2 and finally the computer restarted and SURPRISSE! now not only the problem with lilo dissapeared but also the ps2 wheel mouse is runing perfectly :-) Can you belive it? Yes, actually computers are stranger! or perhaps linux is? Thanks so much to Larry Sword, Ken Thompson and Lorne Shantz for theirs comments.

Re: [expert] 8.2 and vectra vl600
This may help: When I did an upgrade from 7.2 to 8.1, my nic suddenly stopped working - for no apparent reason. The symptoms were similar to what you describe. I tried all sorts of things, including pulling my hair out, but nothing worked. Eventually I removed the card from the box, had a good look at it, and put it back again. It has worked perfectly ever since. From: ingmar frey [EMAIL PROTECTED] I know this should be a certified linux compatible computer. IT install fine, it detects the matrox card, the sound.

Re: [expert] 8.2: ps2 wheel Microsoft mouse crashes
Larry First of all I try the installation with this ps2 wheel mouse attached to the computer and no mouse appeared in the installation and of course not option to install it. Secondly I try an installation with two mice attached, one serial and the mentioned ps2. The serial appeared in the installation, when I was asqued for the mouse I could select the ps2 wheel mouse, I did the test and from this moment it runed, but when the computer restarted after installation it gave me the mentioned error and didn't work. I tested also a Logitec wheel mouse but the same problems. My surprise is that using 8.0 the mouse is recognized and run fine. Want to buy your Pack or Services from MandrakeSoft?

So I'm wondering what is different between installation of 8.0 and 8.2. What chip set do you have on your motherboard. After you set up using the serial mouse can you check to ensure that you have installed the imwheel rpm and then go and select the wheel mouse and reboot.

Unfortunately, in this case, it was invoking supermount (3/15/02 version) which created the bad fstab entries to begin with! I don't know why that occurred. However I manually changed the contents of FSTAB. What I have now noticed, however is that the errors occur only when I click on the desktop icons for the CDs as user (the desktop icons appear to work when logged in as root). Creating new icons as user seems to make no difference. However, if I simply open konqueror and click on /mnt/cdrom, etc., after inserting a CD, konqueror correctly displays the contents of the CD. So it appears that supermount itself is working correctly. George Want to buy your Pack or Services from MandrakeSoft? Go to http://www.mandrakestore.com

Re: [expert] 8.2 how to make supermount work?
hi i havent installed 8.2 yet. but i did have problems with supermount before and can share my experiences with it...1) maybe you can check if the new version of initscripts was actually updated during your upgrade. that rpm is where supermount command is bundled with. 2) you can also do a 'supermount enable' to check if its just not enabled. also, note that supermount must be supported on the kernel level to make it work. this feature is only available on mandrake kernels. you cant compile your own kernel from kernel.org and expect supermount to work. its not supported on the vanilla kernels. btw, not all the mandrake-UPDATE kernels support it. i noticed that kernels that came with the release support it but not on all the kernel-updates. **emphasize on the update** ... hth dianne --- Eduardo M.
