[newbie] Cleaning optical mouse
The is may or may not be OT, anyway, my 10yr old Logictech wheel mouse finally quit performing correctly last night after I cleaned it. The left button would only work about 50% of the time. Bought a new Logictech wheel optical mouse, Mandrake still sees it as the old one which I figured it would since the only difference is instead of a ball there is a light. Question is, how is this mouse cleaned? Do I clean the lens on the bottom? If so, with what?

[newbie] floppy error
I know the floppy is an old media, however, thats the easiest/cheapest way for me to transfer files from home to work, especially when the file is 640k. Anyway, if I take disk preformatted for dos I can copy files to it. however, if I try to format a disk either with Kfloppy or Floppy Formatter it just doesn't work. My syslog shows errors like this: Mar 6 17:35:17 cpollock kernel: VFS: Can't find ext2 filesystem on dev fd0. Mar 6 17:35:17 cpollock kernel: FAT: invalid media value (0xf6) Mar 6 17:35:17 cpollock kernel: VFS: Can't find a valid FAT filesystem on dev fd0.

The desktop shows the little triangle on the floppy icon which I assume means its mounted, however, running as root, # umount /dev/fd0 tells me the device is not mounted. Apparently the disk is not being formatted. I figure that if I can copy a file to a preformatted disk then the drive is ok, or is that a misconception? -- Chris Registered Linux User 283774 http://counter.li.org 17:27:58 up 10 days, 20:05, 2 users, load average: 1.34, 0.74, 0.59 Mandrake Linux 10.1 Official, kernel 2.6.8.1-12mdk Youth is when you blame all your troubles on your parents; maturity is when you learn that everything is the fault of the younger generation.

This afternoon after I 'tried' to fwd a particularly large (2mb) file Kmail has refused to start new messages or to fwd them. The hourglass just continued to turn over an over and there is no response from Kmail until finally I get the (this application is not responding) popup. I've gone so far as to reboot to see if I could clear anything out of the system unfortunately it didn't work.

[newbie] KWallet
When I first started up 10.1 KWallet came up and I said I didn't want to configure it. After seeing the thread on it I decided to do some looking around my system. I found a kwalletrc file in ~/.kde/share/config/kwalletrc. [Wallet] Close When Idle=false Enabled=false First Use=false Use One Wallet=true It initially had these four lines in it. I tried just changing the 'enabled' to true, and 'first use' to true. No luck. Going into KDE Control Center Security Kwallet will allow you to set it up. It seems kind of tricky and it took me a few tries to get it to accept my default wallet. By the way, clicking on the System Configuration Other KDE Wallet seems to do nothing. Kwalletmanager is located in /usr/bin/kwalletmanager. Running kwalletmanager from the cli puts an icon for kwalletmanager in my system tray. My kwalletrc file now looks like this: [Auto Allow] mywallet=kwalletmanager [Wallet] Close When Idle=false Close on Screensaver=false Default Wallet=mywallet Enabled=true First Use=false Idle Timeout=10 Launch Manager=true Leave Manager Open=true Leave Open=true Prompt on Open=true Use One Wallet=true However, I'm still not sure about the purpose of KWallet.

If you go into the KDE Control Centre, there's a GUI config under Security. KWallet is an interactive password tool, it integrates with KDE applications that require passwords, like konqueror and kopete, remembering all your passwords for you and filling them in as needed, so you only have to remember one master password. It also stores form completion data, and pretty much anything else the app programmer wants it to. Note, the app designer has to code to use it.

[newbie] Sound on 10.1
I had sound for a few minutes this morning, now its gone. When going to MCCSystem Alsa is shown as stopped, when trying to restart I get this error: Doing alsactl to store mixer settings..OK Shutting down ALSA sound driver (version 1.0.6): /dev/snd/controlC0:no (sound is being used by pid )) FAILED ALSA driver (version 1.0.6) is already running. I've had this problem before in 9.0 I think but can't remember how I corrected it. I looked through the archives but can't seem to find anyone with the same problem. FWIW, Totem has no sound either. I've already disabled system sounds in KDE control center. Thanks for any help Want to buy your Pack or Services from MandrakeSoft?

[newbie] 10.1 Official New Install
Just finished a complete install of 10.1 official, my backup of /etc for some reason was corrupted, anyway, I had hard copies of most config files except for hosts.conf. What is supposed to be in that file? Also, I've got webmin up and running which I usually use to install perl modules. For some reason after I select a module to install, the install window comes up but nothing happens. I can install modules via CPAN on the cli. Any ideas anyone?
