  1. Trio3b, you did not specify the version of Mandriva you're using.

     

     

    Sorry, I had been using MDV 2008.1 for many years and never figured this out. As far as connectivity issues, I had it (mdv 2005/2008.1) on numerous hdwr and it generally seemed to be dependent on the specific hdwr although I am a desktop user and had little use for w/l until recently.

     

    Currently running pclos 2012.12 and I had never any need for w/l until I loaded it onto a netbook, but as mentioned, font is so tiny on these devices, I missed the "network profiles" configuration in the Control Center.

     

    Apparently, if you configure (in MCC) your hdwr to connect in the net and internet "add a new connection" then connect, then go to "profiles" and add the current configuration, it will save it until the next time the hdwr "sees" that network and will either autoconnect or if not you can open the MCC/PCC and activate that profile.

     

    This is mandatory when using WEP or WPA due to password requirements. However, it appears that if you have at least ONE open network configuration saved in these profiles, then the device should pick up ANY open network and drakconnect should display that in the tray. Am still evaluating all these assumptions and will post back when confirmed.

     

    Thanks

  2. I'm still using Mandriva 2008.1 on my laptop and it works the way you say you want.

    I just right click on the wifi icon and mouse over "Wireless connections" in the pop-up menu which then shows all connections within range I then click on the desired one.

    I only have to enter a key or password the first time I connect to a network which requires one and the system remembers it for next time.

    That did not seem to be working for me. That's what I get for having a netbook (tiny font). Did not see the "setup network profiles" in MCC> internet and networking. Apparently you connect and name the profile and it saves the configuration for that particular setup similar to what you describe. Am going to check this out for the next week or so then mark solved if it fixes issue.

     

    Thanks

  3. This should be simple but.... search always turns up posts and howtos regarding access point roaming within the same network or using different wifi adapters or other complicated dhcp, DNS stuff.

     

    I want one laptop with the same wifi adapter (internal) to connect to :

     

    1. Home net (wpa pre-share key)

    2. Library net (open)

    3. coffee shop net (open)

    4 friends net (wep- password)

     

    (obviously not at the same time) whenever I go there. Seems I have to delete the interface and re-enter each network's configuration in network center or in tray icon as I move from one network to the next over the course of several days. i might not go to coffee shop for two weeks or Library for a month but I want the connection there when I need it.

     

    Doesn't drakconnect have a profile saved somewhere? Once I set up each network I would like it that whenever the network I want shows up I can just click on it and it connects me? Am I missing something simple?

     

    Thanks

  4. I would say something hardware related, try running memtest and see what happens. I've had problems recently with an old laptop and the graphical display crashing on me, but from the console the laptop would work fine. Took the whole thing apart and cleaned it out, removing the CPU, memory and reseating all the components. I would try this and see what happens. Also go into your BIOS and choose the Load Optimised Defaults option to ensure no bad setting has been chosen in here. Incorrect memory config in the BIOS can cause hardware issues, I've had this as well.

     

    The i915.modeset or nomodeset or other such boot options are only for when you start X, GDM, KDM etc and get a black screen and the system stops responding. This isn't going to help your X crashing problem. If you see X/GDM/KDM normally, then this is not going to help in this instance.

     

     

    [uPDATE]

     

    Sorry about the long delay in response and thanks for the replies. If interested in what may have happened to possible resolve this, read on. If not, no problem.

     

     

    Yes I had run memtest ( 3 passes) then reseated mem and ran for another 2 passes all OK. I had come to the conclusion that any xorg-server version > 1.6.5 was causing issues b/c any distro with newer xorg server gave me these " kick off" GUI console onto a black screen. (I was slamming Mint12,13, Mageia, MDV and several versions of PCLOS on to the lappy and what they all had in common was xorg-server>1.6.5) . This seemed confirmed when I loaded PCLOS 2010 ( with xorg-server = 1.6.5) and ran this lappy with no issues for the past 2 months with no more blackscreens, all hunky-dory and was settled in to use this laptop indefinitely.

     

     

    So, recently and co-incidentally found several issues that could either have been a direct cause to the original problem or interrelated somehow.

     

    1. Turns out that the RTC battery in this Toshiba A305 was failing but only slightly. ( An hour over several weeks so it was almost imperceptible) In the past this has only caused annoyance issues with keeping correct time, however, is it possible that the RTC failure was causing BIOS settings issues such as external monitor settings that was causing the graphics to freak out?

     

    2. Since pclos 2012.12 was running fine on several laptops, I decided to try using the original pclos 2012.12 LiveCD disk on a desktop and I got media error. Checked media and sure enough it failed. PLZ keep in mind that this iso passed md5sum and pretty sure I checked media initially but can't verify as notes were hurrried. Even tho the media failed, it did not register to me that this could have been a problem b/c I was pretty sure I had used this particular media to load pclos 2012.12 on to 2 Compaq CQ50s, a Toshiba C655 and two Tosh netbooks. with no problems - so why suspect the disc?

     

    Well, turns out that the netbooks were loaded via USB/SD card and the other 3 full size laptops may have been pclos2010 upgraded ( I am looking into that now).

     

    This would mean that the Toshiba A305 with all the issues may have been the only hardware that got loaded with the "tainted" pclos2012.12 disc.

     

    As of 7-7-12 I have replaced RTC battery. It was soldered to MB so I did have to disassemble everything and blow it all out. I was worried that the RTC charging circuit was bad but so far time is maintained. Also, burned a new pclos 2012.12 LiveCD from the ORIGINAL .iso, and so far this Tosh A305 has not "bumped off" into black screen. I have not installed yet but plan to within the next few weeks and will report back.

     

    In conclusion, I still can't point to an exact cause but the combination of bad hdwr (RTC) and bad media seems to have been a likely culprit. I cannot mark solved yet as I want to install and run this hdwr/sftwr combo hard for a couple months,

     

     

    I have installed MDV and many other distros many many times since 2005 and never ran across this combination of gremlins. This thing has eaten my lunch since summer of 2011. Wow !

     

    Thanks for the help

  5. OK, two updates here. I was mistaken with "about:plugins"

     

    In FF >tools>addons>Plugins I see Shock

    In "about:plugins" I see Shock and FutureSplash which is apparently the renamed version of FlashPlayer from Adobe.

     

    I have the KDE > settings > network connectivity> Adobe Flash settings, but on the Adobe website there is supposed to be an actual control panel to adjust settings but nothing there. Also, I have no links to specific sites, but I don't seem to be able to play anything on youtube or metacafe and any "check flash" websites whether Adobe or otherwise show nothing- no version numbers, no spinning monkeys, nothing.

     

    Sorry I don't have exact numbers but we are talking about Mageia 2 KDE running FF10/11 and Flash(FutureSplash) 11.2.xxx.xx. There are two recommended installers (scripts I guess) in MGA repos which then download the flash from the Adobe site and install for the user.Someone over in Mageia said he had not updated the MAQeia for MGA2, so maybe the script is installing a new version of flash that is incompatible with FF.

     

    There seems to be chatter over in PCLOS forums about issues with latest Flash and FF versions being incompatible. Read somewhere that someone downloaded ALL archived releases of flashplayer, extracted libflashplayer.so and started plugging them in until he got one to work! Quite dedicated.

     

    I will say that I uninstalled Flash and installed gnash, an alternative, but video is choppy and can only get 240p with audio. 360p is choppy with no audio. There is someone on pclos forums who calims it is the Radeon 9250 card causing the issues, however all my desktop effects are rocking along fine so why wouldn't it like flash? ( I did try to watch content with effects disabled - no go)

    Apparently this is the last version of Adobe Flash for Linux. Maybe this is their way of discouraging.

     

     

    Stumped for now

    Thanks

  6. Yes. Tried recommended method according to MAQeia. Also tried installing outside of repos, also tried gnash.

     

    Flashplayer control center shows up in KDE settings manager and there is libflashplayer.so in /usr/lib/mozilla/plugins but Adobe site indicates no flash installed and about:plugins in FF indicates none installed.

  7. Sorry if in wrong forum but thought the Mageia forum was just for general chat so here it is, Mageia 2 KDE running FF 10.0.4. flash content does not even play. Either "plugin needed" or black windowbox.

     

    Enabled non-free repos as recommended. Apparently MGA has scripts flash-player-plugin and flash-player-plugin-kde that download and installs Adobe Flash ( v. 11.2.xx.x) but FF recognizing it as Shockwave. When I install these plugins, Adobe flash control center is indeed added to KDE control center and there is a libflashplayer.so found in /usr/lb/mozilla/plugins, However no flash content can be seen and Adobe "test flash version" site shows nothing installed.

     

    about:plugins- shows nothing installed

    FF>tools>addons> shows only Shockwave

    have tried gnash (flash alternative) but videos are choppy. I thought it might be ATI radeon 9250 graphics but all desktop effects fine.

    tried watching video with effects disabled but still no content

     

    Have read here and other forums about Adobe flash being 64 bit and FF being 32 bit. so it being incompatible but I know flash was working in MDV2008.1 and currently in PCLOS 2010 and 2012 so somehow they got it going.

     

    Any help appreciated

    2. While the drake tools are good, sometimes they cause more problems than they actually solve. That's why sometimes, it's best to use the management apps that have been designed specifically for managing cups than printerdrake. The web-based cups interface is the best there is, but it's down to personal preference, and I've never ever come across anywhere that nobody like it - first time I saw it here when you wrote about it. That kind of information is not required and doesn't help in solving your problem.

     

    Unfortunately my experience has been the opposite: Printerdrake has detected and installed many printers for me over the years whereas installing andd configuring printers from CUPS has been difficult.

    4. Task-printing is a virtual package for pulling in the dependencies needed for you to print. That's why it's zero bytes. So nothing to worry about here.

     

    Thanks

     

    And now, back to your problem. I would delete the printer from printerdrake, and manage it solely with cups, and ensure that you choose the correct make/model when you install it and see if it works. If not, the printer model might not be correct, and you might need to search the internet and find the correct PPD file to add the printer with this.

     

    Unfortunately I cannot get CUPS to accept any username or password including root so checked in /etc/cups.Some where along the line, the ppd file for the Samsung got renamed Samsung.xxx.ppd.old and a new file got put in place. Once I removed the new file and removed the ".old" suffix all was well. Don't know what happened b/c used to have quick PDFs with Samsung but still suffering slow PDFs compared to the Brother multi-function but that is for another thread.

     

    Thanks

  9. USB connected Samsung ML-2151N mono-laser printer was automagically installed on PCLOS 2010 on Toshiba A305 laptop via printerdrake and has been fine for about 2 months with all apps except PDF's which have been slow but I did nothing about it until now, so I tinkered with some GUI settings and printer now no longer prints.

     

    This printer has been automagically recognized and operational for years on MDV 2005LE, 2008.1, and most recently on a desktop with PCLOS 2009.1 and the Tosh laptop with PCLOS 2010.

     

     

     

    1. A Brother DCP7020 prints quickly including pdf's on the Tosh laptop (pclos 2010).

    2. The Samsung prints fine including quick pdf's on two desktops (MDV2008.1) and another desktop with PCLOS 2009.1.

     

    Preface: Samsung shows up in lsusb on Tosh laptop

    I generally hard cycle the printer and reboot after all the following procedures:

     

     

    3. So now let's just stick with Samsung on Tosh laptop. Removed printer and reinstalled via PCC. Samsung is installable via printerdrake via PCC and then seen by CUPS and shows up in application print dialogues- but no printing

    4. Removed printer again via printerdarke- tried reinstalling via CUPS - no go - CUPS admin in browser accepted root username/ password ONCE but no longer will accept any combination of username and psswd. Have read threads about adding cupsys, lpadmin to /etc/group. etc etc. Should not have to do this.(sorry but don't think much of CUPS web administration, never have, and neither do others) BTW, I CAN delete printer from printerdrake but CANNOT delete it from CUPS once it has been installed via printerdarke (PCC), so deleted printer again via PCC printerdrake.

     

    5. Installed Samsung unified linux driver which installs fine but then "add printer" does not recognize its own printer.

     

    I must have altered something in trying to solve slow pdf's ( 1 page every 2-3 minutes) but don't know what I did. Can't figure why Samsung shows up in lsusb, printerdrake, CUPS and application dialogues, but no printing from ANY app, including printerdrake test pages.

     

    Final clue:(I believe CUPS is showing this USB connected printer on a parallel port)

    Related question: Why does task-printing package show up as installed but size is 0 bytes in synaptic? The Brother DCP all-in-one mono-laser is working fine on the Tosh so I guess task-printing must be installed and working? Yes?

     

    Any ideas appreciated

  10. KDE 4.6.5 on PCLinuxOS 2012 ( 2.6.38-8) on Toshiba A305

     

    videocard Intel Mobile 4. This software runs fine on a Compaq CQ50 with same graphics card.default install wants to use i810 and later driver, specifically i915

     

    Random xserver crashes - black screen/ working mouse- BEFORE and after login and during sessions. Cannot reproduce but has happened over the past few months about every 5th login and every 2 hrs when in a session.

     

    Many various error messages in /var and in .xsession-errors- too many to list but mainly regarding DBus disconnecting or cannot be connected.

     

    Things tried:

    -With and without desktop effects enabled

    -Intel and Xorg drivers

    -with and without xorg.conf (this seems to provide best results)

    -Different kernels (pae,bfs, slightly older, slightly newer including latest)

    -adding i915.modeset=1 to boot option

    -delete ~.kde

    -Adding Terminate server="True" to kdmrc

     

    After a crash Ctrl+Alt+F(1-6) gives terminal. can login but cannot startx - error is either "xserver already running" or "cannot connect to server"

     

    Ctrl+Alt+F7 gives me a text boot screen hung at "starting display manager"

     

    Ctrl+ Alt+F8 returns me to the GUI session with all apps open as if nothing happened

     

    If I hit CTRL+Alt+Bckspc immediately after crash I get GUI login. If after I launch another terminal session, it does nothing.

     

    Any ideas appreciated.

  11. Basically use the PC for business and rely on:

     

    OO (or LO if available for mdv 2008.1)

    need to upgrade grsync (or if luckybackup is available will use it)

    digikam

    any kind of .pdf viewer

    xsane seems OK

     

    used to use kmail but have been trying T-bird

    I'm fine with Konq and Krusader (Dolphin has finally gotten decent but I'm not ready for KDE4 or it's not ready for me)

    Had it with FF constant """"advances""" , I may try Seamonkey

     

    Thanks for the replies. Not sure I have the time nor expertise needed for building packages, but Will poke around when I get the chance and take the advice about pbone.

     

    BTW, mdv2008.1 is already installed on Dell optiplex 170L and has been running fine for 2-3 years but the software needs upgrading.

  12. It works because xorg is auto-detecting stuff instead of being told what configuration to use with the generated xorg.conf you had previously. Chances are that XFdrake is generating you a bad xorg.conf which is what is causing your problems.

     

    See how you go and let us know if everything is better.

     

    Well it's been almost 24 hrs, which is pretty good but just had xserver crash with simple scrolling in browser with USB mouse. There was no intensive GPU activity. . It is my understanding that relevant logs must be accessed via ssh from another machine while suspect machine is crashed. Is this correct? Does not Xorg.0.log.old provide this?

     

    If so, I can post Xorg.0.log.old or wait until another crash and provide the log retrieved via ssh.

     

    The kdm.log immediately after crash is:

    ( I have read that "fb not found" is ignorable" Don't know if true or not.)

    The portion in red, as in previous logs is repeated several times before the backtrace, and many, many times after that.

     

    I noticed just before "FATAL fb module not found" there is a line referring to "using /etc/X11/xorg.conf.d" and it contains:

     

    [color="#2E8B57"]10-evdev.conf  11-mouse.conf  50-fpit.conf  50-synaptics.conf  50-vboxmouse.conf  50-vmmouse.conf  50-wacom.conf[/color]

     

    1. Is it possible that some simple touchpad/mouse is problematic and /home/user/.kde config files are not reading properly/

    Should I rename or delete each users .kde folder which should reset it with the new x configuration?

     

    2. There is also a /usr/share/config/kdm/kwinrc file that has been implicated in xserver crashes over in archlinux and gentoo forums. Plausible?

     

    3. Is it possible to downgrade xserver from 1.10.x? I have another laptop testing a slightly older version of pclos also with Intel Mobile 4 graphics but with older xserver and with no crashes. Most pclos mirrors only have latest version but I did find one or two with the older xserver 1.6.5. Obviously if there are massive dependency issues then it is a no go but maybe worth a try.

     

    4 Final question: currently using MDV 2008.1 KDE3.5.x on desktops for business. All has been well for 2 years well. I have hesitated to migrate to KDE4 for various reasons but am posting this from MDV 2010.1 ONE LiveCd and all seems well. Just using this Toshiba A305 for testing so there is no data on board.

     

    Probably going to repartition and reinstall pclos and MDV in dual boot. Unfortunately I can't remember if each plays nice with each others bootloader. I seem to remember each will respect the other's MBR so does it matter which install first? The random xserver crashes on pclos although infrequent, are completely unacceptable in a business office network setting. Also the rolling release aspect of pclos is not comforting, so am willing to give a go at my old friend MDV.

     

    How is it going with Mandriva, Mageia (seemed OK but default fonts were barely legible) and what are the prospects for a STABLE Mandriva future?

     

    Specifically are the following available in repos?:

    could not find:

     

    AdobeReader

    LibreOffice

     

    I do use and did find

    Digikam

    grsync

    xsane

    krusader

     

     

     

    appreciate your time

    Thank you

  13. OK renamed xorg.conf (xorg.conf does not exist in /etc/X11 anymore) and rebooted into 1024x768 which gave two black strips down each side. Then went to display properties and selected native resolution of 1280x800.logged out then into different user but was missing home and trash folder. Logged back out/in and there they are!

     

     

    All looks normal! very nice. Am running GPU intensive stuff as I post. Will also leave unattended for periods and brush the touchpad or do simple drag and drops and I will try to crash this x configuration over the next day or so and get back to you. OpenGL screensavers in KDE display configuration still crash xserver (not during test but when I hit ESC) but that is not important. Stability is.

     

    Read somewhere about not needing xorg.conf but didn't believe it until now! Why would this configuration work?

     

    If you have any further instructions please let me know.

    Thank you

  14. I don't want you to generate a new one, let xorg auto-detect everything, so remove it so that it doesn't exist. The generated one might be causing all your problems.

     

     

    Will give that a go and let you know. It may take until this eve or tomorrow as I am building my own local repository from an earlier release and am d/ling quite a few packages from a mirror before it gets updated to the new pclos 2011 release.

     

    Thank you

    The recommended procedure for regenerating xorg.conf is :

     

    rm -f /etc/X11/xorg.conf

    XFdrake --auto

    reboot.

     

    I have done this and gives the xorg.conf posted here. PCLOS forums have received only one or two replies and none over in xorg mailing lists.

     

    I have had quite a bit of luck here being a long time MDV user so thought I would give it a go.If you think of anything else would appreciate it. Being a rolling release, I have been informed that there is no way to turn back the clock on this installation other than install from an slightly older .iso and hope for the best.

     

    Thanks for your time

  16. Just a little perspective:

     

    Compaq CQ 50 with Intel Mobile 4 graphics / pclos2010 kernel 2.6.33-7 / xorg 1.6.5 / KDEupgraded to 4.6.3 from 4.5.4 with no problems.

     

    The Toshiba is also Intel Mobile 4 graphics with fully upgraded pclos 2011 / kernel 2.6.38-8 bfs KDE 4.6.4 / xorg 1.10.x

     

    Other than lspci -v I don't know how to tell what the graphics controller is b/c the Mobile 4 series covers a wide range og chipsets. I do remember seeing GM45 in one of the Xorg.0.log of the Toshiba.

     

    Both systems default to i915 Intel driver however the Toshiba and Compaq default to different "load modules" section in xorg.conf

     

    Please be advised that I reinstalled the final PCLOS 2011 KDE 4.6.4 release (not one of the 3 test releases) on the Toshiba.

     

    Current xorg.conf of Toshiba:

  17. No "bites" over in PCLOS forums or on Xorg mailing lists so here goes.

     

    PCLinuxOS 2011 on Toshiba Sat A305 / Intel Mobile 4 (GM45 chipset) 3 gb RAM /2.6.38-8bfs kernel loads the i915 module according to lsmod although I have reverted to "Intel i810 and later" in xorg.conf

    *****messagebus which I can only assume is dbus IS ENABLED AND RUNNING IN PCC****

     

    I believe the only alterations I've made from a fresh install are to /usr/share/config/kdm/kdmrc adding "TerminateServer=True" to the [X-*-Core] section as advised by several threads and Xorg config page.

     

    These "crashes" can happen randomly and sometimes at moments of inactivity or light usage. If I log in/out rapidly between users, there are no issues. They have happened with NO activity during the session or with dragging a file. Currently, I am running glxgears, neverball (with all effects), watching a youtube video, rsyncing a large file and downloading an .iso AS I POST this! ALL KDE desktop effects except BLUR are enabled using OpenGL WITHOUT VSYNC. (with vsync seems to cause more crashes)

     

    I guess we should establish what I call a crash in that the screen goes black with non-blinking cursor in upper left with WORKING mouse. I can ctrl+alt+bckspc which brings me to login, and apps and browser are opened to exact spot as if nothing happened.

     

    To me a lockup is where I have to RSEIUB (soft reboot). This has only happened once or twice.

     

    I do have an Xorg.0.log and kdm.log and current xorg.conf which I can post.

     

    This has been monopolizing my time for the past 2 weeks and I need to resolve if this laptop is going to go into service in the office network.

     

    Thank you for your replies.

  18. no obvious errors other than informational in the above, but maybe narrowing this down to dbus problems according to some archlinux threads.

     

    kdm log message after another login crash shows many messages about "DBUS server not found", "module fbcon not found"

     

    DBUS and related packages installed and up to date.

     

    messagebus is running and set to start at boot in PCC.

     

    Here are last few lines of /var/log/kdm.log

  20. Longtime MDV KDE3.5.x user tinkering with PCLOS test-2011.6 KDE4.6.4 (kernel 2.6.38-8bfs) on Toshiba A305 with Intel Mobility 4 graphics. This also happens with a PCLOS2010.12 KDE4.5.4 install that is upgraded.There's been a little help over in PCLOS forums but apparently there's lots of issues with recent KDE4. Am considering giving KDE4 a chance whether on PCLOS or Mandy but this is pretty much a show stopper for KDE4 on a multiuser business laptop.

     

    Seemed to install fine and run nicely until I created second and third users. Now OCCASIONALLY on logouts and even in the middle of a session I get a hang. I have a non blinking cursor upper left and a working mouse but no desktop, no panel, no wallpaper no icons, just black. Sometimes I can ctrl+alt+bckspc which restarts xserver and sometimes I have to RSEIUB. Apparently either the driver or kdm is not being "released" for the next login, or something in a session triggers a hang.

     

    This has happened about 10-12 times in a 5 day period. Can't find a pattern. Have tried with and without KDE effects enabled and also tried downgrading kernel (2.6.37.x) and just now upgraded x-server but no joy.

     

     

    I have run across many threads about modifying /usr/share/config/kdm/kdmrc to "TermnateServer=true" under the [X-*-Core] section and this has seemed to lessen problem but still happens occasionally and someone has recommended trying xorg "intel" rather than vendor "Intel i810 and later" but when I select xorg in PCC "'configure graphics, the vendor shows "custom", but drop down menu still shows "i810 and later". even after saving and rebooting. Also PCC does not give the option to "test" as in MCC or even previous PCC.

     

    This is confirmed by lsmod shows i915, although xorg.conf shows "intel". I have also tried blacklisting vendor intel drivers but no luck.

     

    Xorg.0.log from AFTER the last hang shows a lot of stuff but there is a line about "server may be stuck in a loop". I can post all relevant files and more if needed.

     

    Main question is how do I try the xorg intel drivers? "xorg-server-intel" show as installed in synaptic but PCLOS keeps loading the vendor specific i810 drivers.

     

    Thanks for any help.

  21. The creation date should be persistent. The problem comes when you copy them from one machine to another. Then the created date becomes the day that you copied it to the other system. Possibly down to the application used for copying it, and or the protocol, ftp, samba, etc.

     

    More searching indicates UNIX/Linux filesystem do not record a create time but record atime, mtime, ctime. I have read many threads about problems during file transfers but I believe rsync and grsync have flags that can be invoked but have not yet checked it out. My problem is I notice that file date stamps seem to change in my home directory files that are not moved anywhere. As mentioned created simple text file 11-18 then modified it 10 min later and ALL times were changed. Accessed again today and all three times reflect todays date (11-19). This is not good! I don't need accuracy down to hours and minutes but Date stamping appears to follow any and all actions even if file is NOT transfer but accessed or modified in its home directory/partition. Even openoffice files stat this behavior. Very concerning from a business that relies on documents .Hence this thread. Maybe I just don't understand.

     

    [user@laptop Desktop]$ stat office_help.ods

    File: `office_help.ods'

    Size: 14774 Blocks: 32 IO Block: 4096 regular file

    Device: 806h/2054d Inode: 1804178 Links: 1

    Access: (0664/-rw-rw-r--) Uid: ( 500/ user) Gid: ( 500/ user)

    Access: 2010-07-22 11:09:54.000000000 -0600

    Modify: 2010-07-22 11:09:56.000000000 -0600

    Change: 2010-07-22 11:09:56.000000000 -0600

     

    Then I open and modify a few cells and run stat again with this result

     

    [user@laptop Desktop]$ stat office_help.ods

    File: `office_help.ods'

    Size: 14793 Blocks: 32 IO Block: 4096 regular file

    Access: (0664/-rw-rw-r--) Uid: ( 500/ user) Gid: ( 500/ user)

    Access: 2010-11-19 07:53:18.000000000 -0700

    Modify: 2010-11-19 07:53:18.000000000 -0700

    Change: 2010-11-19 07:53:18.000000000 -0700

     

    As you can see all three dates change after a slight mod to the spreadsheet. Also not good!

     

    I read someplace that no creation date is implemented in Linux b/c of inode structure and performance hits. Does that sound logical? Seems to me that creation date in the file system should be considered extremely important for a number of reasons. There are some suggestions to tar the files to create a date stamp but that also seems unecessary. I have taken to including date prefixed to filename.

     

     

    [uPDATE]: it appears Konq properties takes info from stat which alters all three times, but properties from within OO appear to show original creation time independent of transfer to new disc and access. If this is so then all is well. Pretty good scare there. I still believe the file system should record create date and it be persistant part of file metadata.

     

     

    Thanks

  22. Bump?

     

    after digging into this it appears time / date stamp issues are more serious than I first thought. Found lots of info on inode structure ( don't understand but it doeesn't help me) and many searchs indicate issues about transfer of files over samba, etc. When I open some files to read them, the access and modified date moves to the day I read the file and erases the original date. other files don't change. I need to find some way to know when a file was originally created besides having to indicate the date in the filename.

     

    I created a text file, waited 10 minutes then added a few word and both access and modify dates were changed to 10 minutes later. Then opened a 2 yr old jpg and tinkered with GIMP, saved and access and modify date are still 2 yrs old. What's up? Is there some reason file creation date is not important in linux or am I missing something? I understand stamps can be off b/c of BIOS or battery but this is not the case this happens on all PCs and laptops I have. Date stamps are very important without having to stat or tar a tiny doc file ( as suggested by some)

     

    I don't want to use "touch" to update timestamps. I want original creation date to be persistant and access or mod date to change. I suppose I can include the date in the filename but that seems labor intensive over the long term.

     

    Any thoughts or help appreciated.

     

    Thanks
