Relic2K Posted March 28, 2003 Report Share Posted March 28, 2003 9.1 final is definately very solid, I was expecting K-Mail (Trash Folder) to work again. Looks like they changed K-Mail, so that when you delete emails, then don't go directly into the Trash folder anymore. You have to drag and drop the emails into the trash folder now. I was also hoping to be able to import my exported address (K-Mail) books, but this is still a nightmare and I end up having to re-add everyone manually. Other that than that small complaint, I have not had any other problems with it, so far. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SoulSe Posted March 29, 2003 Report Share Posted March 29, 2003 I am going to install tomorrow, hopefully it goes as well as it did with you. I don't use kde or any k apps, so perhaps I will get away trouble free! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

So far this time, even DVD (Xine) is working this time, audio is a little glitchy, but all speakers are working this time using Alsamixer GUI on CD 3. All my Hardware is workiing fantastic. The only problems that I have seen so far are the ones with KMail, and not being able to copy and paste a URL into Mozilla, and the Trash can problems. If I could find another email program that does PGP I would switch. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Adriano Posted March 29, 2003 Report Share Posted March 29, 2003 Sylpheed supports PGP encription, requires GPGME. Get it Here. It's also very fast, full of features and all that, if you like that sort of stuff ;-) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

shoegoo Posted March 29, 2003 Report Share Posted March 29, 2003 My install went relatively well yesterday, a few problems with wrong file paths in the menu and the themes in gnome, but both were easily fixed. So far feels very solid. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ixthusdan Posted March 29, 2003 Report Share Posted March 29, 2003 Oh great. The kfmclient thing came back today. I am concerned that I seem to have problems popping up after everything seems to be installed and running smoothly. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ral Posted March 29, 2003 Report Share Posted March 29, 2003 Was thinking of holding off due to some reports of bugs. But seems like they are all fixable. Can't wait to get a copy. I guess I can download one in the shop after office hours. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

hippocampe Posted March 29, 2003 Report Share Posted March 29, 2003 I'm curious. Did you do an upgrade or an install. Can't get 9.0 upgraded dude!! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
manly Posted March 30, 2003 Report Share Posted March 30, 2003 Here is what I did in my Journey to 9.1. 1. Boot from CD, and it freezes when accessing the CD (this happened with 9.0 as well). I remember that my DMA has to disabled for my CDROM, so I reboot and pass ide=nodma to the kernel. 2. I was very impressed with the layout and design of the install program. Go Mandrake :-)! 3. I tried to do an upgrade. It said that it was going to take over 3 hours to install! The only way to get out was to reboot, as canceling doesn't allow you to exit the install. 4. I ran a regular install. I reformatted my / as ReiserFS (wanted to try something different), and left my /home as ext3. Install was great, it detected everything properly, and installed in ~35 min. 5. After the configuration step, X froze. I'm not sure if it's because it was trying to get on the internet to check for updates (the system wasn't connected). I could switch vt's and that was it. I did a reboot again, and took out the CD. 6. Mandrake 9.1 booted like normal! Here are the few niggling problems I'm having. I click on Home in the kicker, and I get a blank Konsole window. Desktop icons work fine. I was having similar problems with texstar's kde rpm's under 9.0, but I hoped that my reformat would fix them. I installed Quake 3. It loads properly, but only mouse clicks, and not movements, are passed to the program. It doesn't appear to be a mouse sensitivity problem. Otherwise, I'm very impressed with this release, especially the Control Center and Galaxy theme. Props to the Mandrake team! Andrew Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Relic2K Posted April 2, 2003 Author Report Share Posted April 2, 2003 Downloaded the Images from ftp://fr2.rpmfind.net/linux/Mandrake-iso/ Burned them and then did a completed fresh install, manually adding every package. I also switched this time from XFS to Journalized FS. So I could use RSYNC this time, and be able to read the images on the partitions. Installed Video drivers, hardened the OS.

SoulSe Posted April 2, 2003 Report Share Posted April 2, 2003 A fairly painless install, give and take some glitches in the installer with my mouse. Everything looks good, everyone is bitchin' about kde, I don't use it, so I don't care (one day we will all use fluxbox). Some compile problems still, but other then that it looks good. Oh, and the new Mandrake Control Centre looks SWEEEEEET. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Counterspy Posted April 2, 2003 Report Share Posted April 2, 2003 Manly, you may have caused a problem by using to different journalling systems on adjacent partitions. This is the only thing that stands out in your description of what happened and may be a false trail. Counterspy Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
