Yes, the file shares still work fine on the same Windows client. Rich

Hi all I'm using Mandrake 10.0 Official as a Samba server for file sharing and printing on a Windows network. The file sharing works fine and the printing via Samba+Cups worked fine until now. Printing from a WindowsXP client to the Samba server now fails and I don't know why it has suddenly stopped. There are on no errors logged on the Linux Samba box, the Windows application you try to print from just says "not responding". I have used knoppix as a client and the printing works from samba, so it is just a Windows client to Linux Samba issue, but I can't figure it out. Any ideas? Samba version samba-server-3.0.2a-3mdk Kernel 2.6.3-4mdk Mandrake 10.0 official Here is my smb.conf, ---- smb.conf ---- # Global parameters [global] workgroup = PHOTO-CDWRITER server string = Samba Server %v security = SHARE map to guest = Bad User log file = /var/log/samba/log.%m max log size = 50 socket options = TCP_NODELAY SO_RCVBUF=8192 SO_SNDBUF=8192 dns proxy = No invalid users = root printer admin = @adm hosts allow = 192.168.

Hi Thanks. I've already tried a similiar thing, I went straight from lilo to runlevel 3, linux 3, then startx. I'm kind of grabbing at straws with the display manager. I had a similiar fault about 10 months ago, and replacing mdkkdm with kdm fixed in, or it did something invertedly that fixed whatever was wrong. A real puzzle, I have checked all the logs and can not find out why starting X locks up. I'm using nvidia drivers, I swiched to nv same thing. It locks up so fast that no tell tales signs are written to the logs. I have since done updates and X was updated, but no change, X still won't start and the machine crashes. Any ideas? Cheers Rich

Hi I downloaded bealge through urpmi on 10.1 Official and now can't start X. It downloaded a stack of depandent packages and I think something broke. Now my system just locks up when starting X. I can't even SysRq + S + U + B, proper reset required. It seems to happen very fast, nothing in the logs. I think it may be due to the KDM manager, but I am not sure where the config file to change KDM for mdkkdm or vice versa is stored and I can't use Drake to change as it needs X. Anyone know where the display manager config file is? Many thanks Rich

Hi Are the devices you plug in to it USB2? I don't think your mouse will be or need USB2, but does your card reader run at full USB2 speed, 480Mbits/sec? I think usbview should show the transfer speed. Appreciate if you could give it a go and let me know. thanks in advance. Rich
-
Hi Does it work at full speed for USB2? If you are running KDE, what does usbview show? It should list the chipset/brand of card you have. thanks Rich

Hi I have some problems using usb-storage devices using usb1.1, namely mp3 players. Usb-storage works fine for a USB keyring I have, but just refuses to work with mp3 players. Errors like control timeout on ep0out in /var/logs/messages I have tried the noapic in lilo with no luck. I am now thinking of getting a PCI card with USB2, but I can not find which ones, if any, are compatible.with MDK 10.1 Official. Does anyone have any PCI USB2 cards working they can recommend? thanks Rich

I updated kdebase-kdm and I am back using kdm all is working as before. Very bizarre it broke. I'm going to have another look through the logs to see if I can work it out, I'll post back if I find out. Thanks everyone for their help. Rich

solved, it is now on the mirrors. rich

Tried 5 different mirrors, across different countries, it is not there. Could it be possibly missed? Who should know at Mandrake, seems a bit too much to raise a bug report. Rich

Hi I am running 10.1 official, I did at the command line urpmi urpmi to update urpmi and I got this, $urpmi urpmi Some package requested cannot be installed: urpmi-4.5-29.1.101mdk.noarch (due to unsatisfied perl-URPM[*][>= 1.03-2mdk]) Suggests I should install perl-URPM-1.03-2mdk.noarch, but I can't find it anywhere. I have the original perl-URPM from installation, version, perl-URPM-1.03-1mdk Please could someone with 10.1 official gives this a go (urpmi urpmi) and see if the same error. Or if it does install without an error what version of perl-URPM you are running. The cooker does have a higher version, but I'm trying to avoid using cooker rpm's on this particular pc. thanks Rich

Hi mdkkdm wasn't installed. You're a star for mentioning it earlier, as since I installed it, KDE started, yipeee, thank you. Though the login menu is slightly different, I have to click a user then another screen pops up for the password and session. Before I had one window, with a list of users and images to represent the user on the left and on the right a password box and below that the session. Not sure if I was using kdm before, does my description fit? There is actually an update to kdm on mandrake's 10.1 updates so I might give this a go. Actually my wife tells me she switched the PC with Mandrake on it yesterday and didn't actually get round to logging in and using it. It was left for about 8 hours without anyone logging in at the GUI and I wonder if it somehow crashed and screwed kdm, pehaps when the monitor went to sleep? Yeah I was getting these and they were rotating, but nothing obivous. So still no idea how things got like this other than what I say above. I did get a bit paranoid and do a root kit check and ddos check, nothing all fine. I'll try the kdm update and switch to using that and report back if properly fixed. thanks for your help Rich

Hi I used nvidia driver from the installation of Club CE 10.1 and it worked fine until now, I didn't use another driver before. Tried NV driver and same thing. I have checked the hardware by booting knoppix and the GUI works so I think that rules out a hardware fault. Should I have mdkkdm installed? Rich
-
Hi Thanks for the reply. Tried the nv driver, exact same thing. I thought I might get to see some logs using the nv driver rather than the splash screen of the nvidia driver, but now just a black screen and crash. Tried just X enter and it locks up. Does this suggest X is at fault? Tried looking at the logs again, but it seems to lock up so fast nothing appears to be written to give a clue. You mentioned mdkkdm, I know about KDM, but not sure about mdkkdm. Please could you let me know where this is or should be? Anything else to try? I thought about uninstalling the Xserver and reinstalling to see if any corrupt config files get reinstalled, good idea? Cheers Rich
