That is, more than likely, a hardware failure.  Check the BIOS and

Re: [expert] problem with upgrade from Mandrake 6.0 to 6.1

1999-09-25 Thread Tim Lewis

Hello all,
I have had nearly the same symptoms with KDE as this user.

As any user, root or otherwise, kpanel buttons do nothing, desktop icons do
nothing. I tried starting kpanel from a terminal.  When I then tried clicking
some buttons on kpanel, it gave me KFM NOT READY errors.  Of course KFM is up
because I have my desktop icons.  Quite broken.  I also tried re-installing all
of the 1.1.2 rpms to no avail, and deleted the .kde directory in both root and
my user folder with no change in functionality.  Hope someone can help with
this.

Thanks,
Tim Lewis

[expert] problem with upgrade from Mandrake 6.0 to 6.1

hmm, recently upgraded a client from Mandrake 6.0 to 6.1 on an AMD system I 
had built for him.

The results were how shall I say interesting

kernel compiling fails in multiple places (it comes with 2.2.13pre)
some of the errors at various points were

- internal compiler error: program cc1 got fatal signal 11  make [2]

oops just checked my notes, I didn't write down any more of the errors, but I 
know there were quite a few of them. I had troubles compiling the kernel on 
my box also, but after checking some of the code found it was one of the 
choices in the Video4Linux section of xconfig that was causing the problem.


Second Problem, which is the oddest thing I've seen yet!

Okay, using Kde, 2 accounts setup, root and the user account, under user 
account,when the client connects to the net, basically everything stops 
working 
ie no desktop icons do anything, ditto for the kmenu, can't even startup a 
term window, OTOH if you started a program b4 connecting to the net, it will 
work, term, netscape etc. If you try a file browser window say from a folder 
on the desktop, it pops up, but doesn't display any files and the little 
progress wheelie thingy just runs and runs.

Now once you disconnect kppp, all is fine again, so b4 and after ppp 
connection all is fine, during connection nothing happens, you might see the 
drive lite come on for a split second and Xosview spikes up for just a split 
second also, but no further activity.

What makes it really odd is that under root, there is no such problem, and 
with a newly created user account, again no problem. 

Another thing  noticed is that xosview reports memory at 59 or 60mb of 64, 
does this seem normal? I know X is a memory pig, but still


Lastly, anybody know of an X program to record (rather than just play back) 
sounds?

A) don't check 'set hostname on connect'
or
B) xhost +`ifconfig ppp0|grep 'inet addr'|awk '{print $2}'|cut -d: -f2`
