ALT F2 would have been nice, but I couldn't even get that to work. Sometimes I wonder why I stick to Mandrake, and then I run RedHat and know why.

The way I got around the missing console on the menu was to right click the desktop, select Create New, Select Link to application. Go to the Execute tab for the new Link and type menudrake. Select OK. You will then have an icon on your desktop named Link to application. Double click it and select System Menu. This will bring up the MenuDrake gui. At this point just select Save and your menu's will be back to normal.

Thanks aru,

I tried running openldap last night on my 9.1 and of course it corrupted my superblock once again. I can get it to run, everything is great, then when I reboot the box, I get the superblock corruption and have to reinstall the whole damn thing. Very frustrating.

For Mandrake 9.1, is there a way to track the use of a file. On my network, I'm trying to audit when a user opens a specific file and then closes it. Any help would be apprecitated. Thanks

I had the same problem. You can read the solution in my post here:

You may also want to check this out. Just found this over at NeoWin:

Have you done a scan of your harddrive for bad sectors? I would say that you are looking at a hardware failure. And since 9.0 installed fine before, and now doesn't would indicate that it's not a problem with 9.1. Try seeing if you can download some diagnostic software from the manufacturer for your harddrive.

OK, found the fix for the Root login to KDE:
Log in as root and start the KDE Control Centre > LookNFeel > Behavior.
Under "Misc Options" enable "Enable icons on desktop". Also have a look at "Clic
on Desktop" to enable mouse actions.
Way to simple a fix for that one.

Actually, logging into Gnome as root is no problem. Just don't try to use any of the Mandrake KDE specific programs. As for Mandrake not wanting people to log in as root, that's pretty lame. I can do the same damage under a users id with su. I don't believe this is a feature that Mandrake wants (imho). For me it's just a lot easier to log in as root and make my changes instead of typing the root password 20 times in a users session (OK, maybe not 20 times, but you get my point).
Oh, and to clarify my point. It's not the red background I care about, its actually using the desktop within KDE as root. Just thought I would ad that since some people think I am talking about the red background for some reason.

The root login for KDE is under MandrakeSoft Buzzilla#2517. No fix in site thus far.
The VNC issue is under MandrakeSoft Buzzilla#3081. Seems Mandrake new about the issue from RC2, but didn't bother fixing it.
For the DNS issue I just edited the resolv.conf file. This seems to have fixed it.

Have done a clean install of 9.1 and am having a few problems:
1) Logging into KDE as root gives me a taskbar, but nothing on the desktop. No icons, can't right click to change wallpaper, etc.
2) VNCing from my windows desktop no longers works. I have used the normal configuration on my xstartup file, tried different versions of VNC (and tightVNC) with no luck.
3) Everytime I reboot the machine, my DNS settings in Network get reset to 127.0.0.1
NOTE: I have installed 9.1 on three different machines all with the same results.

I'm having the same problem on my Athlon XP desktop. User logins are fine, but I get only the taskbar when logging in as root. Most annoying.

I found if you SSH into the firewall and run:
dansguardian -c /etc/dansguardian/dansguardian.conf
You can see the errors. When I did this is said it couldn't find the proxyport within the dansguardian.conf file.
I'm not sure how it lost the proxyport.

I have an AMD 3500+ with 15.4 inch screen, 80GB HD, 1GB Ram and I am getting around 2 - 2.5 hours for battery life. This is with a 6 cell battery. If you want more time, go for the 12 cell battery.
