  1. Since installing the latest version of ATI-drivers on Mandriva 2006 problems are occuring during switching sessions.

    When switching to a new session and closing that second session, only a black screen with mouse-pointer returns.

    There's no way of getting back a graphical user-interface.

    The only thing remaining is resetting the system through the reset-button.

     

    Anyone else having this problem, and/or having a solution?

     

    Thanks in advance

  2. A good friend of mine would like to expand her small network by introducing an Apache webserver.

     

    The case is as follows: she uses a Thomson500-router to connect to the internet, this router is connected to a seconde router (Eminent), which is connected to her desktop-machine and the webserver. Those last two devices have ip-addresses 192.168.123.150 (desktop) and 192.168.123.116 (Apache webserver). They are going out through de gateway on the Eminent-router, 192.168.123.254. This Eminent-router does have an "outside" ip-address 10.0.0.2 and the default gateway is the 10.0.0.138 at the Thomson-router.

    Going browsing and sending is no problemo, but her website cannot be reached.

    Is there anyone possible giving me any hint?

     

    Sure, it would have been much easier just using a hub, but this is the case.

     

    Thanks alot in advance,

  3. Updates are issued most of time for security-issues. One commonly patched error is the so called "buffer overflow". For as far to my knowledge, this has something to do with memory twice given back by a closing application. How can this be of any problem on one's system?

    And is there any way monitoring for "buffer overflows" on the system?

     

    Not so much a problem, but just interested.

     

    Thanks everybody, and isadora greets with a happy and better 2005...

  4. Starting my MDK10.1-box presents the following message during boot:

     

    mounting sysfs on /sys

    unmount initrd: device is busy [FAILED]

     

    Earlier i encountered problems with devfsd starting instead of udev. This new message appears since i managed this issue, by great help of some board-visitors.

     

     

     

    isadora :drum:

  5. Did the reboot and udev is running!!!!

     

    Now i saw a [FAILED] coming through during boot.

    In /var/log/messages i found:

     

    Dec 9 19:22:36 isadora kernel: checking if image is initramfs...it isn't (no cpio magic); looks like an initrd

    Dec 9 19:22:36 isadora kernel: ACPI: Looking for DSDT in initrd ... not found!

     

    Does this need any attention???

     

    Thanks very very muchfor assistance on the struggle devfsd&udev

     

     

    isadora :cheeky:

  6. On chkconfig --list udev followed:

    [root@isadora karel]# chkconfig --list udev

    udev 0:off 1:off 2:on 3:on 4:on 5:on 6:off

     

     

    In the lilo.conf stands:

    append ="devfs=nomount acpi=ht resume=/dev/hde8 splash=silent"

     

     

    On service devfsd stop:

    [root@isadora karel]# service devfsd stop

    Stopping devfsd daemon: [ OK ]

     

    On removing dev.devfsd followed:

    [root@isadora dev]# rm --force .devfsd

    rm: cannot remove `.devfsd': Operation not permitted

     

    And concluding:

    [root@isadora dev]# chkconfig devfsd off

    [root@isadora dev]#

     

    It's some operation.....

    I could try removing the package of devfsd, but i'm not sure whether to return in good shape with udev after a reboot.......

     

    isadora :juggle:

  7. Already went through that, but didn't bring me any closer.

    Now devfsd is unchecked in MCC, and in status stoppped (even after reboot), but it won.t let me remove it, neither forced, and logged in as root.

     

    When i bring up the TOP-command devfsd doesn't show up, udevd does. (?!?!?!?!?)

     

    isadora :furious3:

  8. You are right Sunbeam Tiger, it wasn't in /etc but in /dev

    Nevertheless it won't allow me to delete it under root, access denied.

     

    Beside that, i did the top-command and don't see devfsd anymore appearing, instead i now see udevd. Through services in MCC i stopped devfsd, and started udev on boot.

    However during boot the message stiil appears, you are using devfsd instead of udev.

     

    I also changed /etc/lilo.conf as far as it had to do with this issue;

     

    i put a # before the line:

    append="devfs=mount acpi=ht resume=/dev/hde8 splash=silent"

    and made a new entry:

    append="acpi=ht resume=/dev/hde8 splash=silent"

     

    It's not i'm experiencing any problems whatsoever, but you know it's something annoying.

     

    If you have any other suggestions, i would be grateful.

  10. During boot i see this message coming by; devfsd used instead of udev!!!

    Yesterday i upgraded my MDK10OE to 10.1OE.

     

    What is going wrong? Somewhere i read to remove a hidden file /etc/.devfsd, but this is not possible. I killed one time the process devfsd, but could not find anything going different on the system, though this only could be done with root.

     

    In /etc/mtab i find one line including: none /dev devfs rw 0 0

     

    Can anyone please give me some idea of what to do, or just not.

     

    Many thanks in advance.

  11. After having Windows2000 crashed, probably because of installing an automatic update of patches/fixes, i'm done with it.

    Since last summer i was working only on Mandrake10, later the Official version, and i'm getting more satisfied by the day.

    Because of mainly gaming the other os was useful, but that never will be of any loss.

     

    Now i intend to incorporate the windows-patitions into my linux-system, or otherwise; changing the now windows-partitions into ext2, likewise that for my Mandrake-environment.

     

    The partitions are defined as follows:

     

    Mount point: /mnt/win_c

    Device: hde1

    DOS drive letter: C

    Type: NTFS

    Size: 29GB (15%)

     

    Mount point: /mnt/win_d

    Device: hde5

    DOS drive letter: D

    Type: NTFS

    Size: 39GB (20%)

     

    Mount point: /mnt/win_e

    Device: hde6

    DOS drive letter: E

    Type: NTFS

    Size: 39GB (20%)

     

    Mount point: /

    Device: hde7

    Type: Linux native (Ext2)

    Size: 77GB (41%)

     

    Mount point: swap

    Device: hde8

    Type: Linux swap

    Size: 1GB (0%)

    Formatted

    Mounted

     

    My main concern is the idea of damaging or losing the masterboot record (MRB), so that i won't even be able to get my Linux-box launched again.

    Near-future-plans are to transform my system to Mandrake 10.1, which could give reasons to leave everything as is right now.

    But nevertheless i would greatly appreciated to hear any comment or tips/ideas on this issue.

     

    Many thanks in advance.

  12. Found the solution already after reading the /var/log/xfree86.0.log

    Using config file: "/root/XF86Config-4", instead of

    Using config file: "/etc/X11/XF86Config-4"

    Renamed the XF86Config-4-file on /root and restarted X.

    Can now scroll again.

  13. Since updating Mandrake10OE yesterday, including some X-packages, the mousewheel won't function any longer.

    I went through xf86config several times, good exercise, but no better results.

    The wheel of the Cordless Logitech MouseMan Optical still isn't in any mood of being scrollable.

     

    I found the following section about the mouse in the /etc/X11/XF86Config-4;

     

    Section "InputDevice"

    Identifier "Mouse1"

    Driver "mouse"

    Option "Protocol" "IMPS/2"

    Option "Device" "/dev/mouse"

    Option "ZAxisMapping" "4 5"

    EndSection

     

    Can anybody give me some hint?
