lawsonrc Posted December 9, 2004 Report Share Posted December 9, 2004 (edited) Whenever I try to open Mandrake Control Center, its splashscreen freezes the entire computer (it's a laptop...Toshiba 5005-S507). A friend helped me with a "workaround", which may be helpful to others here; however, I'd sure like to get back the "Point & Click" way of using MCC, so if anyone can help me do this, I'd appreciate it. Here's the workaround for now: 1. Open terminal, su to root. (Or in KDE open the Root Konsole.) 2. Type drak and hit TAB. This directs you to a list of all the "drak" tools, which are the ones used in Mandrake Control Center. 3. Copy and paste the one you need; press "Enter". For example, I copied and pasted "drakconnect" and was able to configure my network card (Linksys WPC 11 ver. 3). Now I can get on the internet!!! 4. I then copied and pasted the "drak" that was for updates. Since I was already on the 'net, I was able to do the updates for 10.1. 5. There was a "drak" ending in .rpm which brought up "Add/Remove" Packages. This is a nice, easy workaround if you can't open MCC, but I'd rather have the real GUI. So if anyone can help me, or direct me how to contact Mandrake (I'm a Silver Club member), then I'd greatly appreciate it.

adamw Posted December 10, 2004 Report Share Posted December 10, 2004 well, 'drakconf' is the command that brings up the GUI. It would be helpful if you could try running that and see if you get any useful errors before it freezes. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
lawsonrc Posted December 11, 2004 Author Report Share Posted December 11, 2004 Hi adamw, I've been away from my laptop for a couple of days; sorry I haven't responded sooner . I just now typed "drakconf" after su'ing to root. The splash screen for MCC came up "Loading...Please wait", and the computer froze up again (except the fans are blowing). When I pressed ENTER after typing "drakconf", the next line was a new command line prompt. There are no error messages, only a blank command line. I appreciate your help, adamw, ...and anyone else's help. Will this let you know enough for another solution? Thanks again. Richard Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
adamw Posted December 11, 2004 Report Share Posted December 11, 2004 Not really, but it's useful data :(. How about drakconf --noauto ? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
lawsonrc Posted December 12, 2004 Author Report Share Posted December 12, 2004 Thanks, adamw, with drakconf --noauto I get the same results: computer freezes up. Perhaps another idea? Richard Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest recover Posted December 13, 2004 Report Share Posted December 13, 2004 i launched MCC the other day and it seemed to take a significant amount of time to launch. just open it from the menu and dont touch anything . . it finally came up for me.

lawsonrc Posted December 13, 2004 Author Report Share Posted December 13, 2004 Thanks, recover. I did try this, keeping the splashcreen up for 30 minutes and the laptop still stayed frozen. I appreciate your suggestions. Richard Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
adamw Posted December 14, 2004 Report Share Posted December 14, 2004 sorry, I'm fresh outta ideas :\. Only thing I can think of is it's running some kinda hardware probe your system doesn't like. Any output in dmesg? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
lawsonrc Posted December 16, 2004 Author Report Share Posted December 16, 2004 Thanks adamw. Here is my dmesg. I don't know how to read it to see if there is an error message that would apply. Can you look at it to see what gives? Richard.... init init/main.c:718 checking if image is initramfs...it isn't (no cpio magic); looks like a n initrd ACPI: Looking for DSDT in initrd ... not found!

fissy Posted December 16, 2004 Report Share Posted December 16, 2004 can you access the individual drak tools through a menu, do they have a similar problem? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
lawsonrc Posted December 16, 2004 Author Report Share Posted December 16, 2004 Thanks for your quick response, fissy. Most of them seem to work (I don't have the laptop hooked up to a printer. However, when I launch the Mandrake menu>System> Configuration>harddrake...the computer freezes up the same way it does when I try to launch MCC.

adamw Posted December 17, 2004 Report Share Posted December 17, 2004 aha, it's harddrake probing the system. Maybe a bug report would help - on qa.mandrakesoft.com , submit a report of the problem (running harddrake hangs the system) with a precise listing of the hardware in the system (leave nothing out), the results of lspcidrake -v and lsusb . The devs will ask for any other info they need. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
lawsonrc Posted December 17, 2004 Author Report Share Posted December 17, 2004 Many thanks adamw for how to submit the bug. I want to thank everyone for their suggestions and help throughout this thread. Wishing all a HAPPY NEW YEAR! Richard Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bvc Posted December 17, 2004 Report Share Posted December 17, 2004 hey houstonian :bvc: If it were me I'd force an uninstall of harddrake and THEN try mcc to be sure, B4 submitting a bug. BUT, I know you do like doing that kinda thing. If you want to though, rpm -e --nodeps harddrake has always done it for me in the past. It used to be standard procedure for me to uninstall harddrake as I have always hated it and found it useless so I've done it many times w/o ill effect. I haven't done it since ML-10 though. reinstall w/ urpmi Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
