[newbie] USB card-reader not working?
I have a Kodak USB Picture Card Reader for CompactFlash cards.When I was running Windows, I needed a driver from Kodak as far as I remember. Heres a link to the Windows driver so you know the product: http://wwwdk.kodak.com/global/en/service/downloads/dln_ekn.jhtml?ekn=EKN020812 The thing is that if I plug in the card reader to my USB port, Mandrake wont even boot. Theres no messages, it just stops during boot. If the card reader is not plugged in, I can see my USB port during boot: usb.c: registered new driver usbdevfs usb.c: registered new driver hub usb-uhci.c: $Revision: 1.275 $ time 11:59:06 Sep 18 2003 usb-uhci.c: High bandwidth mode enabled PCI: Enabling device 00:09.0 (0014 - 0015) PCI: Found IRQ 9 for device 00:09.0 PCI: Sharing IRQ 9 with 00:10.0 usb-uhci.c: USB UHCI at I/O 0xd400, IRQ 9 usb-uhci.c: Detected 2 ports usb.c: new USB bus registered, assigned bus number 1 hub.c: USB hub found hub.c: 2 ports detected PCI: Enabling device 00:09.1 (0014 - 0015) PCI: Found IRQ 11 for device 00:09.1 PCI: Sharing IRQ 11 with 01:00.0 usb-uhci.c: USB UHCI at I/O 0xd000, IRQ 11 usb-uhci.c: Detected 2 ports usb.c: new USB bus registered, assigned bus number 2 hub.c: USB hub found hub.c: 2 ports detected PCI: Found IRQ 3 for device 00:11.2 IRQ routing conflict for 00:11.2, have irq 9, want irq 3 IRQ routing conflict for 00:11.3, have irq 9, want irq 3 usb-uhci.c: USB UHCI at I/O 0xa400, IRQ 9 usb-uhci.c: Detected 2 ports usb.c: new USB bus registered, assigned bus number 3 hub.c: USB hub found hub.c: 2 ports detected PCI: Found IRQ 3 for device 00:11.3 IRQ routing conflict for 00:11.2, have irq 9, want irq 3 IRQ routing conflict for 00:11.3, have irq 9, want irq 3 usb-uhci.c: USB UHCI at I/O 0xa000, IRQ 9 usb-uhci.c: Detected 2 ports usb.c: new USB bus registered, assigned bus number 4 hub.c: USB hub found hub.c: 2 ports detected usb-uhci.c: v1.275:USB Universal Host Controller Interface driver PCI: Enabling device 00:09.2 (0014 - 0016) PCI: Assigned IRQ 5 for device 00:09.2 PCI: Sharing IRQ 5 with 00:05.0 PCI: Sharing IRQ 5 with 00:0e.0 ehci_hcd 00:09.2: VIA Technologies, Inc.

Looks to me that you do have a usb hub fully configured. But is there an irq conflict, IRQ routing conflict for 00:11.2, have irq 9, want irq 3 IRQ routing conflict for 00:11.3, have irq 9, want irq 3 I wonder why ? It ought, in theory, to be possible to boot to desktop and then hot plug the card reader, but I think maybe it needs media in it as well, because as soon as the device is plugged in the system wants to not only configure the device but mount it as well.Now that also needs a line in fstab to do that, I'm wondering what line is in fstab do you have to mount the reader ? When a device like a card reader is mounted during boot time the system tries to fsck it. So if there is no media in the device it stops and often hangs, or it does on mine.If I have media in the reader the fsck is completed and the mount is successfull, always provided that there is a line in fstab to mount it. So, what is the line in fstab ? Do you include media in the reader at boot time? I now tried with a media in the reader during boot, and that worked :) But.. Can I somehow prevent mandrake from trying to mount my card on boot, so that I can only do it manually? And how do I mount/unmount it manually?

The first would be to remap fstab for the new mount points. hdd would change to hdc. The next would be to change the lilo options line from hdc=ide-scsi to hdd=ide-scsi Quick scenario: Edit fstab for the changes, Edit lilo.conf, Issue Lilo command to write the changes to disk. Shutdown computer. Move the cables physically setting the jumpers correctly, turn the computer back on and you should be in business.

Im not 100% sure this is the right place for this question, but I guess if I where not a newbie, I would know if souch a tool exists or not, so therefore the question here ;) I have an application where I pipe its stout into a file, but the file grows huge over time. So I was thinking if there is a tool I can pipe my stout to, and this tool then could rotete my file somehow? I have searched google, and fond a lot of tools for Apache and syslog, but nothing that would solve my problem here. Does souch a tool exist?

Cooker packages on an older release are a *bad thing* unless one of the kind souls that packages newer versions of rpms for older releases. Or are you running one of the beta releases of Mandrake 10.0? No noo just 9.2 :) In other words: set up software sources for your version and just urpmi kdevelop [Enter] and the dependencies should be taken care of. You can set up the software sources by going to http://urpmi.org/easyurpmi/index.php then following the instructions. EXCEPT; _Don't_ use the command urpmi.removemedia -a unless you want to start over with no disks, no previously configured sources, etc.. I used the site and added sources from denmark to main, contrib and updates. Then I did a urpmi kdevelop which gave me this: medium contrib uses an invalid list file: mirror is probably not up-to-date, trying to use alternate method Everything already installed Im thinking that either i did it wrong, or KDevelop3 is not on those mirrors yet, but really I have no idea :) Any pointers?

I think if you install all updates available, you will have the screensavers you are looking for in KDE Control Center. HTH. Best regards. --Angus Oh sounds nice :) One question though. I have always been scare by automatic update tool, they tend to break things. Are the Mandrake update tool safe to use, or will there be a good chance that it breaks things? Not to offend Mandrake, I just wont be able to fix whatever is broken (newbie). Best regards Søren Want to buy your Pack or Services from MandrakeSoft? Go to http://www.mandrakestore.com
[newbie] Sceensavers in KDE
When I start the KDE Control Center and choose LookNFeel - Screen Saver there are no screen savers listed, and under the Mandrake install I did chose all X screensavers. Does this mean I cant run X screensavers in KDE? Also I installed the tux screenserver and the qstars screensaver, and i can run both manually, but none of them show up in the KDE configuration tool also. What can I do to get this to work?

Do I need to delete some files, and can I easily guess the filenames? The xscreensaver modules (used in Gnome and most other environments) are just regular executables and should be in /usr/X11R6/lib/xscreensaver. KDE has its own screensavers, which are all in /usr/bin (Lawd help us, what *won't* they chuck in there?), but can be distinguished because they have a .kss extension. Try these commands in a terminal: locate xscreensaver locate .kss and you should see what is happening on your system. Deleting the ones you don't like is quite safe (you'll need to be logged in as root), though moving them to a temporary directory is perhaps smarter. But keep in mind that your next install or upgrade might put them back and you'll have to re-delete them. Oh yes, and run your environment's screensaver setup applet after you're done, just to tidy up the config files. In KDE you'll find it in kcontrol, in Gnome run xscreensaver-demo. I did all you sayd (I'm using Gnome), deleted the files and ran xscreensaver-demo, but I still have all the screensavers in my controlpanel (and in xscreensaver-demo). What to do then?

What to do then? OK, no more Mr Nice Guy! g in your home directory is a file called .xscreensaver (the period in front of the name is important). Load it into whatever text editor you like to use and remove the lines naming the offensive savers. Not that the entries will do any harm (if they're not on the disk, they can't get run), but it is cleaner to have them removed. Want to buy your Pack or Services from MandrakeSoft?
