Firefox-2 with flashplayer installed crashes in Mandriva 2007 (and it works fine in Mandriva 2006 ).

[lando@localhost firefox]$ ./firefox --sync

The program 'Gecko' received an X Window System error.

This probably reflects a bug in the program.

The error was 'BadMatch (invalid parameter attributes)'.

(Details: serial 120 error_code 8 request_code 146 minor_code 3)

(Note to programmers: normally, X errors are reported asynchronously;

that is, you will receive the error a while after causing it.

To debug your program, run it with the --sync command line

option to change this behavior. You can then get a meaningful

backtrace from your debugger if you break on the gdk_x_error() function.)

Someone knows this problem ?

Many thanks.

The remove / add has worked in MCC ! (Though the user entry displayed in MCC was correct I got access denied when I

logged in ) .

Many thanks to all of you ( I hope this expression be correct :..).

The first thing is do you weant to delete the home dir?
(you don't have to and you can even just rename it and then copy stuff later...)

yes, userdel -r usrname ....delete it.

/etc/passwd and /etc/group and /etc/shadow are the likely places
Just remove that user name ...

then recreate....

the usrname is already missing in these files....

Report · October 16, 2006

I had problems with my user name so I've deleted the user login account using the command "userdel -r myname"...

Then I've tried the "adduser myname" (so I'll have a cleaner user situation)...and I get "the user already exist...."

I've read that after a userdel I've to delete this user name in some hidden places...Is there a guide to search these places ?

Thanks a lot.

I don't understand what you're trying to say?

You said that there are problems with drive letters in the registry. If you're moving Windows from one partition to another, then you should use Partition Magic, so that anything that relates from C: and changes to D: will be updated so that Windows will work normally.

This has nothing to do with lilo.

Yes.I was only looking for another freeware product (Partition Magic has to be paied ...)

October 6, 2006

Partition Magic can move partitions, and goes through the whole registry changing the drive letter.

This is better than using DriveImage or other cloning apps, especially when you're moving to a completely different partition with drive letter changes.

Yes,......but why lilo documentations in linux environment show many Windows partitions enties ? ( only Partition Magic can help ?)

October 6, 2006

ntldr missing can normally be because of a problem with the boot.ini stored in the root of the windows partition, normally c:\boot.ini if the partition hasn't been changed in terms of location, etc.

If you have changed the position of the partition, in terms of the disk, eg, it's not the first on the disk, you need to edit this file so that it knows where to look correctly.

DriveImage XML works fine if I copy from C drive to the first partition of a second H.D.

then I boot from this clone.

If I copy to another primary partition of the same H.D.and change boot.ini to point to partition 2 (for example) and add its entry to lilo bootloader....I can boot it but with

some problems....I think in Windows the C address letter is in many places...registry entries...page files (in fact still it point to the page of WindowsXP cloned)

There is this possibility to have two Windows using lilo ?

October 5, 2006

coverup suggestion seems has worked fine !

I'ven't apm then I should do modprobe apm....but I'm not too expert and I wouldn't do something

that I could not control...

Thanks for your helps.

October 4, 2006

....and I've to switch off it manually !

Windows power it off ,normaly.

What can be ? :unsure:

Did you run "sysprep" on the windows installation before imaging?
It's documented on the DriveImage manual...

Plus that the last good version of DriveImage for me is version 5, which might or might not work with your new hardware- I wouldn't care at all about newer versions.

I cannot find "sysprep".

Anyway the device address have to be C ,mandatory , where the system is installed on ?

Sorry , I'm talking of DriveImage XML .....not of DriveImage Power Quest .

September 30, 2006

Someone has used DriveImage (Disk to Disk copy) to create a windows copy, then set both windows and Linux on Lilo ?

I get "NTLDR missing" when I start the partition created by DriveImage.....

I don't know which adsl modem you are using but from the few I have come across most seem to have another port besides usb.
This other port connected to the etho port on your mainboard can constitute a Lan as far as I know. The experts may tell me I am wrong. That is how I am connected up adsl and have not needed a router or switcher. I know I would need a router if I wanted to connect my two home computers to oneanother and to the adsl line but that is an entirely different situation.

Cheers. John.

It's as you belived in ghost.

Last week my H.D. is dead and contained my old WinMe that

went to Internet trough USB connection (but with another modem with USB interface....).

That H.D. doesn't exist any more.The USB attachement is unplugged.

Tha new H.D. contain WinXP that works fine with the PC ethernet interface plugged to a simple modem with ethernet interface .Of course when I boot Mandriva this connection doesn't work.

Dont' say that motherboard builds a Lan with a ghost.

I've copied /etc/sysconfig/network-scripts/ from MDK live.... but it's not enough.

What can I copy now ?

Thanks.

PS-Sorry for my English....

September 25, 2006

With 2006 you must make sure that when setting up your internet connection in MCC you select LAN and NOT adsl even though you are adsl connected. This is where more than half of the connection help requests come from.
Using the etho indicates you are using Lan rather than USB (and that is smart).

Cheers. John.

Though Mandriva live works fine with Adsl configuration ..............................

I've tried a Lan configuration ......without results. Maybe because I know very little

about Lan -

I've a Realtek|RTL-8139 interface (eth0) connected to a simple modem...not a router!

I'm not in a Lan ! I've tried this attempt because I've nothing to do! in desperation ! :wall:

Below ifconfig after a Lan configuration that ended with congratulations !!!!!!!!!..but that

doesn't work.

Then at the end of lan configuration I was asked to start X environment because of the changed

hostname !?!? But I 've typed "localhost" as hostname...........

Have I to reinstall the system the third time ?

Can I copy the files from Mandriva live 2006 that works fine ?

Which files do I need to copy ?

Thanks a lot.

September 24, 2006

Something is changed...I don't know why....

It says "connected" but the browser cannot get access to internet...cannot resolve

addresses...

In Control Center Internet configuration I check only on (...and it has always worked...)

"ADSL"

"eth0"

"write my ISP data"

"PPPoE"

MY >>> /etc/sysconfig/network-scripts/ifcfg-eth0

/etc/sysconfig/network-scripts/ifcfg-pppoe is missing...while I've it in Mandriva live.

With the same Adsl ethernet line connection ,same PC , ...Mandriva live 2006 can do the interrnet connection and

Mandriva 2006 official not.

I've configured through Control Center ...

I'ved also tried using "adsl.-setup" procedure but still when I start the line with "adsl-start" i get Time-Out....

What can I do ? :wall:

September 16, 2006

What is wrong in the statement below ? Many thanks.

Thanks to everybody.

What I want ?

I''ll have to change the second H.D....and my Windows will have to work during the time I'm waiting its change.(some days).

then windows should boot with lilo installed in MBR.........so that I can select it at boot. (if I get fine lilo can stay installed iin

MBR and works also with windows alone...) With new H.D. I'll reinstall Mandriva.....

OK ?

Thanks

September 9, 2006

lando:
its not very clear exactly what you want and noone will want to guess because noone wants to mess up your partitions...

Try and reword this a little to make it clearer sop we can help better :D

I've English lenguage problems.....

The question is .....if I loose all of the linux partitions (3) that are in the lilo boot menu

with Windows (1) partition ,,,,,

Windows will continue to boot using lilo menu ? or have I to do the cammand "fdisk /mbr"

to delete lilo ....that could not work having 4 partition installed ? :wall:

PS- ...your English is better then mine ?

September 9, 2006

I've two H.D.

The first one with a Wndows partition is OK.

The second one with with a Windows partition (for data only) and 3 linux partitions.

Lilo show at boot 4 partitions .

Now the second H.D. is out for all of the linux.

Still at boot I can choose in the lilo menu to run Windows !

Partition table is on the first H.D....then I shouldn't loose Windows also reformatting

the second H.D ,..isn'it ?

Or have I to execute "fdisk /mbr" ...though I've read that it couldn't work if there are

more then 4 partition involved.......

Many thanks

Have you got the cross-platform version, the Windows version or the linux version?

.............then you just have to sort out your browser.

For Linux,...the failing linux version ...

For Windows,its OK version.

Appletviewer fails,.....then the browser has no faults ....

The cross-platform version could run fine with linux ?

Thanks.

PS- JMStudio works fine.........

Could be jmf.jar wrong packed ?

August 18, 2006

Still it appears as a linux problem !

Using Appletviewer I can see that the class javax/media/ControllerListener cannot be found !

and the CLASSPATH is right !!!

[lando@localhost ~]$ echo $CLASSPATH

/home/lando/JMF-2.1.1e/lib/jmf.jar:.

The archive file jmf.jar contains also the class javax/media/ControllerListener ! :wall: :wall: :wall:

The IMF API installation fails the diagnostic test http://java.sun.com/products/java-media/jm...iagnostics.html

but TVApplet.java sample is compiled OK and these .class files are produced.

TVApplet$1.class

TVApplet.class

TVApplet$CPanel.class

TVApplet.html

Now I've written the applet .html below and Firefox cannot open it.

</applet>

Firefox pass all of the tests in http://www.java.com/en/download/installed.jsp

Of course JMF works fine in Windows.....

Is there someone with java environment that can try to install it ?

http://java.sun.com/products/java-media/jmf/

Many thanks.

PS- It is the Java software to manage video files ...and a video player is part of the product...

I didn't build it myself, it's stock Arch package right now... I may ask at Arch forums, but I doubt it's a package issue- it should be universal.
As I said, previous version is OK.

I've the same problem !

No response from the support .............

August 15, 2006

The instructions suggested this entry ,that gave the last problem...>>>

CLASSPATH=$JMFHOME/lib/jmf.jar:.:${CLASSPATH}

export $CLASSPATH

I've changed them as below and it work >>>>>

CLASSPATH=$JMFHOME/lib/jmf.jar:.

export CLASSPATH

:thumbs:

August 15, 2006

You can also use the EXPORT function

export JMFHOME /home/lando/JMF-2.1.1e

etc.

It works only if I use the form >>>

JMFHOME /home/lando/JMF-2.1.1e

export $JMFHOME

Then echo are OK >>>>>

[lando@localhost ~]$ echo $JMFHOME

/home/lando/JMF-2.1.1e

[lando@localhost ~]$ echo $CLASSPATH

/home/lando/JMF-2.1.1e/lib/jmf.jar:.::/home/lando/j2sdk1.4.2_10:/home/lando/j2sdk1.4.2_10

[lando@localhost ~]$ echo $LD_LIBRARY_PATH

/home/lando/JMF-2.1.1e/lib:

Though when I open a terminal all of the bash variables are shown on the screen and

this warning....-

bash: export: `/home/lando/JMF-2.1.1e/lib/jmf.jar:.::/home/lando/j2sdk1.4.2_10:/home/lando/j2sdk1.4.2_10': not a valid identifier
