We will never know what makes the errors until you shows us the errors messages :-)

Hmm just the lightweight, for example blackbox, windowmaker, or maybe twm. The DE is not so necessary, as long as it give the X11 capabilities.

Hi I want to set autologin with auto executed apps. For example, when user1 logged in I want him to auto executing xmms. What should I write in config file? And what files are needed. Thx

It looks like that the problem is from their mother, Debian. I use debian-3.0-r1 (old enough). My onboard ProSavageDDR (savage4) doesn't recognized so I have to use vesa. And sometime (ussually in the middle of the night when I compiling packages) it goes freeze, but it only happened when the X11 is running. So I only get the freezing-hang-blackscreen machine in the mornign when I get up. Only thing that I can do is push the power button.

I think win32codecs from mplayer is different and not shared libraries, so xine will not use it. Just for information, I downloaded mplayer for windows (since my school's lab only run windows) and have same problem with .wmv, but after adding the same win32codecs everything wok just like in linux. You can see that the codecs are .dll's.

About an hour ago I have a funny experience. In one of the accessed computer there are Mdk-9.1 with ext2 in / dual with debian 3.0 with reiserfs in /. Both of them don't have any initrd.img. I compiled kernel 2.4.22 vanilla in Debian with configuration from 2.4.22-mdk (I downloaded it from 9.2). It doesn't work on Debian (where it was compiled) although I run mkinitrd and lilo several times with changing some mkinitrd tions (Debian 3.0 uses old version of mkinitrd). But when I install it on my Mdk-9.1, it works, Ok there are some alsa and supermount problem, but it works and can boot my machine.

For what purpose? At the kernel from the cooker it's marked as a module ( :P I'm a little forgot about it). And other filesystems too (like jfs and xfs), they are compiled as a module, and the cooker kernel have no problem with that. And I'm confused about these things. Mandrake 9.1 installed on an ext2 partition and it doesn't have initrd.img but it running very well. Firstly I think that because it has ext2 fs, but Debian 3.0 installed either in ext2 or reiserfs has no initrd.img too. OK, maybe it named in different manner, but initrd not mentioned in /etc/lilo.conf. Please give me some... enlightenment.

Yes of course, before any compiltion I did that. Sometimes I also run make clean to make sure that everything is set back to default. I guess that this step is provided in make install stage. But, OK I'll try it manually.

AMD. No [other] comments.

Yes, I did. I also try the old way (choose everything from scratch), and using the packaged config in the vanilla packages. But everything is not working. OK as a newbie, I actually didn't know what is exactly happening. But in the failure in the reboot with the new vanilla kernel, it always said something like : "Kernel panic not ext2 filesystem on root partition, try to passing initrd= option to kernel". I've once compiling the new kernel downloaded from Mdk cooker, and for some reason I reformat my root partition with other fs. After redumping the backup files, I rebooted the machine and the same error occures. But with live CD (knoppix), I successfully chroot to my HD's root partition, change the entry in /etc/fstab, running mkinitrd, and reinstalling lilo, and it works. The machine can boot normally with the corresponding filesystem module loaded. I'm sure that there is some extra step that I have to take beside the $ make menuconfig && make dep && make bzImage && make modules && make modules_install && make install # this is for 2.4.x kernel steps. I guess that some statement in the sources have to be added or changed, CMIIW.

Successfully upgrading kernel if the kernel is downloaded from Mdk cooker (SRPMS) but it always fail when the kernel is vanilla (from ftp.kernel.org). It looks like it doesn't recognizing non ext2 filesystem (I'm using reiserfs). Anybody experinced with this? Please tell me how to make it recognizing my reiserfs and other supported journaling filesystem.

Uuppsss, I'm sorry it should be 666, because 660 is not working for multiple desktops.

Hi, I'm facing some problem with my Mdk-10-CE. I'm an astronomy student, and in need of image reduction program. There is some apps and the outstanding one is IRAF http://iraf.noao.edu. To get this things work I have to install both iraf and x11iraf. There some canned packages that suites your linux distro. Actually noticed there that Mandrake user should use the RHUX (Redhat) packages. But for my egoism, I just downloaded the LNUX (Linux for Slackware and Debian) package. The packages successfully installed on my Mdk-10-CE by removing the /etc/redhat-release (this needed to make IRAF recognizing the system as "linux" and not "redhat"). But for some reasons (I don't know why), the xgterm (part of x11iraf) wouldn't launch except launched first by root with this error: "no available ptys". Later I know because the first launching by root changes /dev/pty/{s0,m0} to 660. The supporting people from IRAF suggest me to change /dev/pty/* to 660. And this is the real problem now, is it secure enough? I know it's not so necessary since I only use it on my PC, but what if I have to install it on some public server? Am I have to do the same thing? Or maybe any of you have a better suggestion? TIA

Hey, great....!Great...! It's working now, thanx a lot man.

It's not working. I've added this line into the /usr/share/msec/perm.3 (because I use security level 3): /dev/sound/* nobody.audio 666 When I'm executing # msec 3 It was all OK, all files in /dev/sound (/dev/dsp is just a link to /dev/sound/dsp) owned by nobody:audio and have permission 666. But just right after root logged out, the files permission changes to 600 and the owner is the last logged into the system. Anybody experienced about this?

In my experience, I always fail to play wmv files (which encoded with wmv9 library) with all players available in linux. But then if you use mplayer and see the log, there is a requirement for mplayer to be able to play wmv9. You can get all the codecs at mplayerhq.hu. And the codecs that you need is win32codecs. You just donwload the win32codecs.tr.bz2 (ftp://ftp1.mplayerhq.hu/MPlayer/releases/codecs/win32codecs.tar.bz2), and unpack it at /usr/local/lib/win32. After that you can play all wmv files. I hope this help you.

Hi, It's so good to know that Mdk-10-CE can display multiple desktop with different user at a time (or maybe I'm a little late because 9.2 have it too, isn't it?). But I a little disappointed when log in to the second desktop and have an error message said that device /dev/dsp is not accessible. The device turn it's ownership to user that first login to the machine. Can somebody help make a script so the device is all the time owned by root and have permission 666? Thank you.

I'm sorry for not taking a deeper look at my problem. The downgrading thing is perfectly fix the nano problem, now konsole displays it properly (thanx a lot man). And I only downgrade the ncurses5 and libncurses5, I didn't do anything with the ncurses5-devel because none of it installed on my Mdk-10-CE. What is the problem now? Of course the other applications, especially alsamixer and the display of "make menuconfig" when configuring new kernel. I'm really sad when watching the "ugly" display. Can I do something? Or just wait for the bug fixes from kde? (Waiting would be ebough for me) Anyway, thanx for the help from all of you.

Look at mine <---- She's ....... Wonderful.

Hi, I downgraded the ncurses5 and libncurses5 packages with the ones from Mdk-9.1 (I don't have the 9.2 CDs since all my friends said that 9.1 is more stable than 9.2), but nothing changes. The konsole still dispaly the same "face". I haven't try to downgrade the libncurses-devel package, because I have to take a rest for about 5 days. Is it any other suggestions?

Hey, hey don't get wrong impression about me. I'm a guy, and the girl in the avatar is my favourite Indonesian artist, I'm crazy about her. it's OOT now, sorry.

Hi, can I ask something? Why I can't find that amazing window-decoration on my Mdk-10-CE. Is there any missed package? Thanx a lot.

Hi all, I'm a newbie just like Steve (if his newbieness is true, I think he's like a guru). If all of you don't mind let me join this topic. I am interested in simpler text editor like pico, but since the license problem I turn to nano and found that it's as great as pico. But I encountered some "uncomfortableness", konsole (KDE's terminal) seems not to work well with ncurses which nano uses. It give us some unusual behaviour and ugly display on not only nano but also alsamixer, mp3blaster, menuconfig from kernel source, and much more (which uses ncurses library). First I think that the problem is in libncurses, but other teminal (I use rxvt, or even the console CTRL-ALT-F1) display it perfectly. Does any of you know about this? Please share your experience. Thanx.

Hi I'm new here and this is my first post. About this translator thing, if you need other Indonesian translator, maybe I can help you. OK, not all the time but I'll try my best. I'm from Indonesia, and "a little bit" capable in English, so if you need help my mail adress is idud at m-net dot arbornet dot org. Thanks a lot.
