I can't get the KDE desktop sharing working in mdk 10.0 official powerpack. the old "rfbdrake" works but the built in solution (which uses kdenetworks-krfb) doesn't work. An ethereal trace shows that it tried to do a DNS lookup for the client and fails (which is understandable because the client is on the same LAN with no DNS lookup setup). I had this working fine in 9.2. Mode Note: Moved from software by phunni

gkrellm should work just fine if your sensors are setup properly. If you type "sensors" and don't get any info (or it appears all wrong) then you need to get that working first. I'd google for "lm_sensors" and the name of your motherboard and hope for a how-to of some kind. For some reason I had to know the answer before doing a sensors-detect on my machine to get it to work: (I have a k7s5a mobo) modprobe i2c-isa modeprobe it87 sensors-detect sensors-detect by itself didn't work. Of course the modules you need to add are mobo dependent.

The printer is connected to my windows machine and I can see it when browsing using LinNeighbourhood but printerDrake can't see it.

I use a Belkin KVM and about every other time I reboot my linux machine the mouse doesn;t work. Rebooting again usually fixes it. In Mandrake 9.2 I used to get a message from the hardware detection module that some device was removed (tty-something I think but I don;t have a copy of the error) and that a new device was added (mouse). After rebotting it would do the same thing again and "switch things back" to normal. I just installed to MAndrake 10 and I get no messages whatsoever but the behavior is still there, every other time I reboot the mouse doesn;t work. It's mildly annoying when the system is up and running because I don't reboot often, but since I'm in the process of testing my UPS and overheating safeties, I have to reboot all the time and this is getting annoying. As far as I knowthere is no probelm if I plug the mouse directly in the computer so it has something to do with the fact that I'm running a KVM. Short of fixing the problem for good, how I can force the redetection of the mouse while I'm up and running?
