phunni Posted March 28, 2003 Report Share Posted March 28, 2003 Just installed 9.1 andexpected everything to be perfect. Not so. When booting for the first time I get two significant errors: 1) supermount is not supported apparently 2) My network completely fails to work. When trying to start the loopback interface, I am told that 127.0.0.1 is already in use. Also, depsite configuring my network card duriong install - it can't even be found now! Please, please help me Edit: I also lost everything in my home directory despite not formatting /home. When I try to log in using the user I created during install I am told that /home/paul does not exist! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mtweidmann Posted March 28, 2003 Report Share Posted March 28, 2003 What is your network setup? Are you using manual settings or auto-detected ones? Why do you say supermount doesn't work? What error message does it give? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
phunni Posted March 28, 2003 Author Report Share Posted March 28, 2003 I did a manual set up for my network - because the auto one didn't pick the right settings. The reason I say that supermount doesn't work is because during bootup I am told that supermount is not a supported file system or something like that. I am trying to re-install now - I have to resign myself that all my docs in /home are gone - despite not wanting to format that drive I'll let you know if I still have problems on trhe other side of this second install So far my 9.1 experience is by far the worst yet Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
phunni Posted March 28, 2003 Author Report Share Posted March 28, 2003 OK - so it's all intalled fine now - I've just lost everything in my /home I'm really not sure why though as I did specify NOT to format /home And before anyone says - I know I should have backed up Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
zero0w Posted March 28, 2003 Report Share Posted March 28, 2003 About supermount: It should work when accessing CD-Rom from Konqueror file-browser. On the leftmost column, click on the <Star> icon (Services). Then click on Devices, you will find your CD-Rom drive(s) there. Click on the CD-Rom device for which you want to supermount. It should work right away - sometimes consecutive clicks will crash Konqueror, however... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
