What kind of CD is it? Maybe a copy-protection scheme is throwing K3b off. lynchmob

For what it's worth: http://bcm43xx.berlios.de/ I have steered away from Broadcom stuff because of thier utter lack of official support. I ran across this link at the Linux Wireless site. HTH lynchmob

When I get that message I have deleted the rsa key for a machine I cant connect to in /home/username/.ssh/known_hosts and was able to connect after that. Be sure that sshd is running on all machines you want to connect to.lynchmob

Are you using dhcp? What does your /etc/sysconfig/network file say? Could be gateway ot dns.

I am a Comptia® Linux+ Certified Professional. I took the and passed the exam on 12/14/02 and I have been studying off and on since with the intention of taking the LPIC 101 exams. They are a bit more difficult than the Linux+ it seems. The Linux+ is for someone with about 6 months experience (that's every day/all day on the job use). If you have a year or more daily experience with Linux, the Linux+ is easy, if you study specifically for that exam. With LPIC, you should have about 2-3 years of daily experience to pass both exams. lynchmob

It's a combination of all three, I'd say. But, I do see the buzzard; it closer to the neck area, though. lynchmob

Check your firewall settings/ security levels. lynchmob

All the regular stuff, plus running Rosetta@Home on 4 systems 24/7.

You type that in the address window of konqueror. Also, you need Openssh server (sshd) running on both PCLOS and Mandriva to transfer files back and forth. sshd, as mentioned should be running as a service. lynchmob

Your welcome. :)

Look in .kde/share/config/KWeatherServicerc: [WEATHERSTATIONS] stations=EGHI Also look in .kde/share/config/weather_panelappletrc in your /home directory. It should looks like this: [General Options] log_file_name= logging=false report_location=EGHI reportview_size=450,325 smallview_mode=1 ( I added your code in there.) HTH lynchmob

Nope. The same results for the other drive.

Just this: if I decided to format the drives later, I can leave fstab alone. Yes, of course they hold data. I access these drives on a daily basis. sda1 holds iso images and the other holds my personal data. It's whatever version of reiserfs that came with 2005le, so I'm certain it's not ver 4.

I used the "noapic" boot option to get Mandriva installed on my Via-based system because it would hang during install where the sata controller drivers were being loaded. I have two sata hard drives I use for storage, with Linux on a pata drive.This is what I did after an upgrade to 2006 rc1 caused me to lose the sata drives: After making the appropriate entries in /etc/fstab: ...and creating the mount points: mkdir /mnt/data1 mkdir /mnt/data2 I got my sata drives recognised by adding this: /etc/init.d/harddrake restart mknod /dev/sda1 b 8 1 mknod /dev/sdb1 b 16 1 mount -t reiserfs /dev/sda1 /mnt/data1 mount -t reiserfs /dev/sdb1 /mnt/data2 These two sata drives were recognized, configured and running fine after installing 2005le. When I upgraded to 2006 rc1, I had to do the above. When I did a clean install of the Christmas Club release, it all worked out of the box. On my AMD64 system, my only hard drive is a sata 40GB Seagate. It's an nforce3-based board and I had no problems with it. 2006 x86-64 worked out of the box, as well. HTH lynchmob

Go to /etc/lilo.conf and add "noapic" to the append line. Example: image=/boot/vmlinuz label="linux" root=/dev/hda1 initrd=/boot/initrd.img append="noapic resume=/dev/hda5 splash=silent" Then run /sbin/lilo and reboot. How old is this card? Maybe it's too new for 8.2 to support it. lynchmob

Good point.

These are home-built: I have been running one for about 4 years and the other about 1 year. They never displayed this problem until after I installed MDV 2006 Christmas Club edition. All other versions of Linux that I have run on these 2 systems ran fine. The problem with solving this is that it may only happen every 2 weeks or 1 week and everything is good in the interim. Thanks for the suggestions but I think it is a kde/kdm or x thing specific to this version of MDV. If you think of anything else, I'm all ears. :) I'm going to try the updated kde and xorg packages next. lynchmob

I have 2 systems running the Christmas club ed.. Both systems are running 24/7 for my distributed computing software, Rosetta@Home. I leave them logged off until I need to use the system and for most of the time, there are no issues. But when I login and kde starts, it will hang briefly during the " Initializing Peripherals" part and then restart x and kick me back to the kdm login screen. A cold reboot fixes this and will go for weeks before it happens again. This happens randomly and only when I try to login and use my kde desktop. I have'nt had time to really dig in and find what's causing this( though I suspect it's a kde thing) and wondered if this was a common problem? lynchmob

That was it! A bad usb cable. Working fine now.I shoulda checked that days ago. Ixthusdan, thank you for helping me out. :D lynchmob

Thanks, I'll give that a try. I'm also changing the usb cable just to eliminate another obvious (but often-overlooked) cause. Will keep posted. lynchmob

Thanks for the reply. Yes, the self-test prints fine. Works on other comps, too. lynchmob

Version is Mandriva 2006 Christmas Club ed. This laser printer has worked without issue under Mandriva for years but has now become impossible to get working since I did a new install of lastest ed. I think it may be MCC's printerdrake module because it loads sometimes and other times it freezes up and nothing but killing the process will return things to normal. When printerdrake does load and I go through the steps ( I know them by heart; they have'nt changed much over the years) the result is the same. It reads like it worked but still no printer. When I run it in Expert mode the result is the same. When I start it from the CLI, I get this: lpstat: get-printers failed: server-error-service-unavailable lpstat: get-printers failed: server-error-service-unavailable lpstat: Unable to connect to server: Connection refused Use of uninitialized value in pattern match (m//) at /usr/bin/foomatic-configure line 1395. lpstat: get-printers failed: server-error-service-unavailable lpstat: get-printers failed: server-error-service-unavailable This is what line 1395 in /usr/bin/foomatic-configure says if ($defaultstr =~ m!\S+:\s+(\S+)$!) { I also tried the CUPS admin tool at localhost:631 but that didnt even have my printer. TIA for any help lynchmob

As root, type mount -t vfat /dev/sda1 /mnt/removable You should be able to copy/paste from konqueror after that. lynchmob

Thanks. I just swapped out the card for a linksys lne100tx but I'll try again. The sk98lin worked great in 2006 rc final. No go in Christmas Club ed. lynchmob

Got a link for that site? Thanks. lynchmob
