Re: [expert] Mozilla 1.0 Problem
Question for you all: The problem people have been having (myself included) with the floppy lockups in KDE... Can this be solved by disabling supermount in the Mandrake Control Center, for the floppy drive? If so, then I will be adding a tutorial to my site for n00bs, so please let me know. Thanks.

I didn't get a chance to experience floppy lockups because, prefering the standard way of mounting devices, I disabled supermount shortly after I installed MDK 8.2.However, using the Mandrake Control Center worked for the CDROM, but not the floppy. And only floppies formated with DOS could be mounted. Ext2 formatted floppies gave a 'bad superblock' error. I ended up having to manually edit /etc/fstab, which now looks lke: /dev/scd0 /mnt/cdrom iso9660 user,iocharset=iso8859-1,ro,noauto,suid,unhide 0 0 /dev/fd0 /mnt/floppy auto user,defaults 0 0 The cdrom line is as MCC left it, but the floppy line is what allowed me to mount both DOS and ext2 formatted floppies. I added device icons on my desktop and they worked to mount the devices in the tradition manner. One last comment: after making these changes the supermount module still cannot be unloaded because it reports back as 'busy'. when rmmod is used on it. Apparently supermount is loaded early in the kernel boot process because during booting I get two error messages, one about not being able to mount 'local' filesystems and the second, after switching to init 5, about not being able to mount 'other' filesystems. dmesg shows: oend_request: I/O error, dev 02:00 (floppy), sector 0 end_request: I/O error, dev 02:00 (floppy), sector 0 and boot.log shows: Jun 9 16:02:45 jlkreps mount: mount: /dev/fd0 is not a valid block device Jun 9 16:02:45 jlkreps netfs: Mounting other filesystems: failed I ignore these messages. Mandrake should offer two identical kernels at install, with one not having supermount in the kernel, and let the user choose.

Well, I'm happy to report that it seems to have fixed it here. I disabled supermount with supermount -i disable as root, then I removed the old drive icons and put new ones in (otherwise they are not pointing correctly). Now I can mount the relevant device and my floppy, open both windows onto them, + happily drag 'n drop files with no errors or lockups. Yeah!

Re: [expert] Mozilla 1.0 Problem
Hi, I got the rpm source from rpmfind.net, I compiled it and then installed it. Every thing works fine. I don't have any problem. P.S: You should have enough space.

After which that lock file is still there keeping you from starting up another Mozilla unless you go and delete the lock file. This might not be a big deal to most of us but I've been trying to introduce new users to Linux and this is just another pothole on the road to bringing regular users to the linux desktop.

Re: [expert] Mozilla 1.0 Problem
I'm curious, from your email header, your mozilla is gecko/20020605. I'm running 20020529 and do not have this problem. I downloaded mine as a tar file from www.mozilla.org. Is your copy from www.mozilla.org or did you get an rpm from somewhere? Maybe whoever created the rpm introduced the problem. Just a thought. Joe On Fri, 14 Jun 2002 18:36:11 +0200 M.

LM8.2 Mozilla 1.0 I'm having a problem with Mozilla 1.0. Running the first instant of the program is fine. But if it is still running and I start another instant of Mozilla, the Mozilla Profile Manager pops up. How do you fix this problem? Thanks, Sevatio P.S., I noticed that this started with RC3 and persists with the final release of 1.0. Right now I'm using RC2 which is able to have several Mozillas started at one time.
