There ought to be a command that would tell the OS to redetect it again, to save time and effort. John Just as a matter of interest - are these problems occurring on usb devices joined to the motherboard, to hubs, or both? Anne Well, I'm not entirely sure I understand the question. I have 8 USB ports , a bank of the usual 2 and a bank of 6, 2 are physically attatched to the mobo, ported to the rear, 6 are on a rack and cable plugged to the mobo, ported to the rear. As far as the usb hub is concerned they show up as 4 entries in the kde -info-USB devices, like so, USB OHCI Root Hub | Lexmark Z53 printer USB OHCI Root Hub USB OHCI Root Hub USB OHCI Root Hub every now and again the printer drops out of recognition and so I reboot which brings it back again, sometimes , modprobe usb-ohci in a root terminal works, sometimes it does not. This happens in M8.2 , and was the norm from first boot on M9.0 beta2 I never got any futher than that as far as the later betas are concerned. Basically USB detection of my usb printer is erratic. I suppose I should mention that the 8 usb ports on my msi mobo are both usb1 and usb2 , at least 4 of them can be usb2, I don't believe mandrake configures any of them usb2 though. Just trying to make sense of a situation where some people have big problems and others say everything's fine. Two things spring to mind, that may give us some pointers. First - the issue of ohci and uhci - it would be interesting to know, of the people who are having problems, which protocol they are using. Second - I know that under windows some devices work find on the usb ports carried from the motherboard to the backplate, but don't work reliably on a hub hung from one of those ports. I wondered if anything similar is showing up. No answers, but a few questions. Anne Well, yes, and as you can see mine are all ohci (incidentally what is the difference between ohci and uhci anyway ?) and as far as I am aware uhci never appears anywhere in my mandrake OS, but maybe others find this different. No wait a minute I've just checked up on kde-info-USB devices, and again my usb Z53 printer has vanished BUT , to prove me wrong the setup has changed, USB OHCI Root Hub (1) USB OHCI Root Hub (2) and, USB UHCI Root Hub (3) USB UHCI Root Hub (4) USB UHCI Root Hub (5) So there is a clue, there's a battle going on for recognition between ohci and uhci and something triggers a change , now lets see what modprobe usb-ohci does, [root@localhost root]# modprobe usb-ohci -v [root@localhost root]# so that does nothing this time, so lets try modprobe usb-uhci, [root@localhost root]# modprobe usb-uhci -v [root@localhost root]# so that did nothing again, I guess this means a reboot , John -- John Richard Smith [EMAIL PROTECTED] Want to buy your Pack or Services from MandrakeSoft?

Now, for playing MP3, it is a completely different story, since the MP3 audio is data that has to be read, processed, and sent thru the system bus to be played by the soundcard. This requires a working configuration (drivers for the soundcard being the main issue). This idea sounds like a winner. Want to buy your Pack or Services from MandrakeSoft?

Sir Robin,
Making them from the source seems to work more reliably than rpms, even
though I understand that the source is really just a packaged binary.
I am using the NVIDIA_kernel-1.0-2960.tar.gz very happily with 9.0
having tried NVIDIA_kernel-1.0-3123.tar.gz and found it not to work.
If you have the same experience and have trouble finding the 2960

can be made to work with the 2419-16 kernel?

Sir Robin,
Making them from the source seems to work more reliably than rpms, even
though I understand that the source is really just a packaged binary.
I am using the NVIDIA_kernel-1.0-2960.tar.gz very happily with 9.0 having
tried NVIDIA_kernel-1.0-3123.tar.gz and found it not to work.
If you have the same experience and have trouble finding the 2960 version,
e-mail me off-list and I'll send it on over.

[newbie] Access problems to CDROM and FAT32 partitions
I'm running Mandrake 9.0 and KDE. When I first install and log in for the first time and click the removable media icon I can access my CD-ROM to browse files. However when I close the file manager window and wish to log in later the CD-ROM icon now has a padlock sign on it and when I click it I am told I do not have permission to access it. This also obviously effects my ability to install software from the mandrake CD'S. I also have read only access to my two other separate fat32 partitions. One is a partition on the same disk Mandrake is installed on and the other is a separate hdd. I should be able to have write permissions as well as read shouldn't I? Can someone help me get back the access rights to the CD-ROM and also gain the write access to the other partitions that I need please? Thanks Want to buy your Pack or Services from MandrakeSoft?

[newbie] Contribs
Hi There are 2 sources that I have found for contibuted rpms one under the 9.0 contrib and one under Coocer As there are apps under coocer contrib that are not in the official 9.0 contrib directories then I needed to ask what is the main logick between those. Why some end up in the main contrib directories and some not? Also can I be safe (on system stability) when adding the coocer source for contrib and installing from there.

[newbie] Rebuild kernel 2.4.19-16mdk to get ACPI support!!What am I doing wrong??
Hello Folks! Mandrake 9.0 Dolphin I've recently got an Compaq Pressario 705EA-notebook that is-, 256 RAM, 20GB hard-disk Phoenix-bloody_bios, Conexant Softmodem(I finally got it to work), and Via On Board Sound chip-it works out of the box. Only thing that drives me nuts is that system gets stuck whenever I reboot it or halt it. The screen just stays there and the only way to bring it down is to unplug it and take the battery off. I know its the ACPI support which still is experimental as I hear. I tried , after installing kernel-source RPM in /usr/src to rebuild the kernel with ACPI support included. Two observations of mine: in /usr/src there are two directories: linux (which has a kernel files allright and I suppose represents the kernel installed) and 2.4.19-16mdk directory (which also has kernel files in it. I tried in both directories at no avail. What I did: make oldconfig (to get the configuration of my running kernel) Is that right or have I misunderstood it? Then, make dep, make modules( I saved my modules directory before that) and finally make install. I got in both times a kernel installed by the name 2416-16custom. In the first case I got the message that the Kernel was too big and as a result it could boot. I had to reinstall Lilo from the CD typing rescue. In the second case it told me that the ACPI modules were in but with modprobe it just told me it couldn't find the kernel for which it was compiled for. What am I doing wrong?

Hello Marco, Your message came from the www.bonzi.com site. They sell a program called Internet Alert which is a great firewall program, however i don't know if it would work with Linux. I have the Bonzi program myself, but i use it on XP. if you want a free firewall program, you can go to www.zonealarm.com they have both a free one and a paid version. another good firewall program that i use is the black ice program and of course norton sells a good one as well. i wouldn't worry about broadcasting your I P address, but if you do a lot of surfing, you should consider a firewall. i think Linux has a built in firwall, doesn't it.

last time I checked, bonzi and fastclick stuff are winders only software.. its likely that you caught some javascript in html pages to popup a message... nothing to worry about if you are running linux.. setup a firewall.. (In linux all firewall apps are just interfaces for the built in iptables/ipchains. and generally they are all free.) other then that, don't worry about it, head over to grc.com and run shields up to see if you have anything open..

Re: [newbie] Extra Hard Drive
If you want to speed up your system you could mount your extra HD as a software RAID drive. RAID0 will stripe data between two hard drives, so some blocks are read from one drive, and some from the other effectively halving the seek time. Software RAID is real easy to set up using diskdrake. You just need two hard drives (on different IDE controllers) The drives do not have to be the same size or same make (unlike hardware RAID on Wintel MBs) You just identify partitions on each drive as RAID partitions in diskdrake and then mount them as a single partition. The partitions do not even need to be the same size. Other partitions on the drives may be configured as non RAID The downside of software RAID is If your system is already installed it is complicated moving partitions about to create the RAID partitions. The seek time will be limited by the seek time of the slowest drive. So if your 10GB drive is an old piece of rubbish it is counterproductive. If either drive has a data corruption it will trash the data on the other as well (unless you use RAID3? (mirror+stripe) which uses twice the disc space) Just an idea derek On Monday 14 Oct 2002 11:23 pm, Travis Crook wrote: Hi all, I have an extra 10GB hard drive and wondered what would be the best use for it.

hi, I have a ten GB partition devoted to miscellaneous things. I use it for: 1) saving downloaded rpm's and tarballs 2) a place to rip dvd's and music 3) a place to download music to 4) backing up my computer whenever I need to The only reason it would make it faster is if the games and mp3's on you system drive were fragmented in with the rest of your files.

Damian Damian: Having absolutely no experience with Lin4Win, I skipped responding to the original post. However, spurred on by your comment, I did some research at www.linux-mandrake.com, google and my old LM manuals, and found: 1. lnx4win was offered with the 7.x distributions, but it seems to have disappeared from sight since then. 2. IIRC, there was very little traffic about it on this list. 3. lnx4win was slower than many glaciers. 4. Lots of installation and configuration problems were noted on google. (It is possible that these were not the fault of lnx4win, but typical windows-newbie-migrant stuff.) Conclusion: lnx4win was either (a) the answer to a question that no one asked, or (b) didn't work very well. My advice to the original poster is to bite the bullet, repartition your HD to make some space for a real Mandrake install, and give it a try. It's not that hard, and the rewards are great.
