Fanless Posted May 8, 2008 Report Share Posted May 8, 2008 Hi, I don't know following wich operation, but since a while the sysinfo command does not work any more on my mandriva 2008. Here is the message (sorry, in French, I have not the translation) Un problème s'est produit lors du chargement de sysinfo:/ :Le processus traitant le protocole sysinfo s'est arrêté de façon inattendue. I tried to install again KIO-sysinfo package, but doing that a large amount of packages were uninstalled (amarok, kde, and so on), and I spent a lot of time to restore my computer in a working situation. But after that, sysinfo is still not working. is there any log file where sysinfo could tell me more about what is missing or wrong ?

ianw1974 Posted May 8, 2008 Report Share Posted May 8, 2008 What are you trying to do exactly? What results are you looking for? If we know what you're trying to achieve, maybe we can suggest alternatives. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Fanless Posted May 8, 2008 Author Report Share Posted May 8, 2008 sysinfo has been working at the beginning I installed mandriva on this machine, it's not a vital part of the machine, but I don't like having something having worked but no more working, meaning that something is wrong in the configuration (or in my actions) sysinfo is supposed (I don't remember the screenshot) to give informations on the machine (processor, speed, memory amount and so on) it's not exactly alternatives that I would like, I would be happy to know why it does not work ... :huh: if sysinfo does not work, maybe other things will not work in the near future ...

tyme Posted May 8, 2008 Report Share Posted May 8, 2008 an approximate translation (I do not know french, I used an online translator) of the error message: A problem occurred during the loading of sysinfo: /:The process treating the protocol sysinfo stopped in an unexpected way. I would suggest uninstalling and reinstalling the sysinfo package to see if that resolves the problem. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Fanless Posted May 9, 2008 Author Report Share Posted May 9, 2008 Ok for translation. I already installed again sysinfo package (KIO-sysinfo if I believe) but it's the same message, it does not work better. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Greg2 Posted May 9, 2008 Report Share Posted May 9, 2008 I already installed again sysinfo package (KIO-sysinfo if I believe) but it's the same message Are you sure that the app you're having problems with is not KinfoCenter? It is located at Tools > System tools > KinfoCenter. You should be able to check it with the cli using kinfocenter Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Fanless Posted May 10, 2008 Author Report Share Posted May 10, 2008 no, kinfocenter works well, all the menu commands work. sysinfo command is called with konqueror : sysinfo:/ (it's a linux system function too, the purpose is to show the memory statistics as says the help for 'sysinfo') Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Greg2 Posted May 10, 2008 Report Share Posted May 10, 2008 I understand now. With Konqueror closed, in a terminal (as user) try kfmclient openURL %u application/x-sysinfo You will probably receive an error message at first, but in a few seconds it should open for you. Let us know if that works? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Fanless Posted May 11, 2008 Author Report Share Posted May 11, 2008 hi Greg, when I launch the command as you describe in a terminal as user, it says, in a konqueror window : Un problème s'est produit lors du chargement de file:///home/jean-luc/%u :Le fichier ou le dossier /home/jean-luc/%u n'existe pas. which can be translated as : A problem occurred during the loading of file:///home/jean-luc/%u :File or directory /home/jean-luc/%u does not exist. (if I execute it as user, /home/jean-luc is replaced by /root but the result is the same) and after a few seconds, another message comes, the same as the one I gave in may first post. the terminal window shows: kio_sysinfo: *** Starting kio_sysinfokio_sysinfo: (/org/freedesktop/Hal/devices/volume_uuid_db24d686_6636_4b9b_bfe4_9870c444ef62,sda1,97G Media,,true,/dev/sda1,/,ext3,true,,media/hdd_mounted,,---) kioslave: ####### CRASH ###### protocol = kio_sysinfo pid = 6356 signal = 11 I tried the same thing under KDE4, but it's the same.
