[expert] TWiki changes
We are almost at the end of reorganising the TWiki to make it more accessible. The Index (link on top bar) should now have a more obvious form. In the process of doing the work we have found that the authorship of some pieces is not obvious. If you have contributed in the past, will you check if your name is still visible. We are recommending just adding your TWikiName at the end of the entry, where it will remain unchanged by future additions. There are many gaps in the knowledge base we are using. For instance there is a good page on VMware, but nothing on Win4Lin, Wine, Crossover etc.. If you could look at any one subject in which you have an interest and volunteer some content it would be extremely helpful.

Switched from a Linksys to a D-Link. My problem came with the persistence of Hotplug in that it kept loading the module for the linksys system, and refusing to load the module for the d-link. I had to remove all mention of their ever being a linksys card. Reboot the box (out of frustration more than anything.) and then re-insert and things started to work. I've also learned on Toshiba and compaq, that if you have wired + wireless, configure the wireless first then insert the wired and configure it. (so it's eth1) then whenever I use wireless I have to insert both cards, so that the wired card gets detected as eth1 not eth0. This seems to be a function of hardware not software as other boxes tend to divide by slot not by how many are inserted. (Yes on my compaq if I remove the first card I inserted the second card get switched from eth1 to eth0) Advantage here. He has/had nothing configured. No legacy to destroy. James James, Thanks for the quick response ... I think you are right about the hotplug, but I am not sure where to remove all mention of their being a my_old_card. Can you point me some places? I will start grep-ing all over right now, but if you would be kind enough to point to the stored info of such it would be much appreciated.

[expert] USB mouse problem
Hi experts I have the following problem. I have a IBM thinkpad 600x refurbished, and i bought a usb optical mouse. It has the capability to work with ps2 and usb ports, yesterday i tried at home with the ps2 port, it worked fine, the trackpoint and mouse worked simultaneously. The problems began when i pluged today, at work, the mouse in the usb port. I booted the box and when it looked for the new hardware, it apeared a blue message box saying the mouse was unplugged, it didn´t recognize the usb mouse and the trackpoint began to work erratic. It looked like the trackpoint was missconfigured, just the same has when you unplug the mouse and plug it back again when you boot. I don´t know where to go now, so please help me. I looked on the usb devices and says that there is a usb mouse plugged on the box, but doesn´t do anything else. I´m using mdk 9.1 Thanks for yout time -- Gonzalo Avaria S.

Well, i solved by choosing on the ¨looking for new hardware¨ window that apeared on boot, the usb mouse. The problem now is that if i take out the mouse, i can´t get the track point to work again.

Attempted between each of the above steps a service network restart, with the eth0 always failing ... and NO - it won't work if I would just run ifconfig first, then drakconf: it seems to work only if: changes in drakconf -- no go -- ifconfig eth0 and route -- no go -- again drakconf -- finally! ... ... I know someone posted earlier in the month a series of (rightful) jokes about W2K and networking setup ... I was laughing too much and I got punished ;) ... my MDK9.1 on a Toshiba 8100 is no different now - an ongoing exercise in futility. Stef Stef Had this problem as well myself a while back. Switched from a Linksys to a D-Link. My problem came with the persistence of Hotplug in that it kept loading the module for the linksys system, and refusing to load the module for the d-link. I had to remove all mention of their ever being a linksys card. Reboot the box (out of frustration more than anything.) and then re-insert and things started to work. I've also learned on Toshiba and compaq, that if you have wired + wireless, configure the wireless first then insert the wired and configure it. (so it's eth1) then whenever I use wireless I have to insert both cards, so that the wired card gets detected as eth1 not eth0. This seems to be a function of hardware not software as other boxes tend to divide by slot not by how many are inserted. (Yes on my compaq if I remove the first card I inserted the second card get switched from eth1 to eth0) Advantage here. He has/had nothing configured. No legacy to destroy. James James, Thanks for the quick response ... I think you are right about the hotplug, but I am not sure where to remove all mention of their being a my_old_card. Can you point me some places? I will start grep-ing all over right now, but if you would be kind enough to point to the stored info of such it would be much appreciated. Thx, Stef Steff my Linksys had a setting in /etc/modules.conf On the rest I honestly fuddled with it till I had it working. most of it was done by working through the files in /etc/sysconfig/networking and removing any and all mention on ever having had a network. One minor thing I also did (which made bootup nicer too.) was chkconfig network off Since pcmcia starts the network not having the pci network attempt made actually made it possible to use my wireless card (a happy accident.)

Re: [expert] Cant Delete File
Hello, I am hoping someone can give me some advice on how to delete a
file.
Apparently the directory /usr/local/netscape/chrome/ got hosed and it
shows up
as a 2.2gb file and not a directory any longer.
EXT3 file system, file system check shows no problem.
The file shows OWNER: 35327
and I can not create a user that starts with a number to delete it that
way.
GROUP: 3277717500 (kde)
-10172497 (midnight commander) this may just be how shell and kde
display the number (signed number??)
I added both of these groups and added root to both groups and I still
cant do
anything with the file.
Not sure if this has been suggested but you can try finding and deleting
by inode:
[EMAIL PROTECTED] ls -i
32903 mozilla.ps 32770 week1_day1
1802247 mp3 32911 week1_day1.sxw
32917 openssh-3.4p1-7.i386.rpm32904 week1_day2
[EMAIL PROTECTED] find . -inum 32903
./mozilla.ps
[EMAIL PROTECTED] find . -inum 32903 -exec rm -f {} \;
You might also want to try this as root.
If this fails, you can also try unlinking the file.

I preparation for the coming of 9.2, is the proposed Anthill bug
tracking system going to be available/used? Since there are so many
(self included) who've been asking for this I'd like to possibly hold
some fingers to the fire so to speak to possibly recruit some help if
you need it, in order to make it work.
I was going to wait until this week to mention it (when I hopefully get the
rest of the translations done and can roll out anthill 0.2.4) but...
http://bugs.mandrakelinux.com/
9.2 has a tool called drakbug that will help assist in reporting bugs by
giving system information (optional) to bug reports so, as long as you have
an anthill account, you can create the report text on your desktop.
This is part of the reason I've been so busy in the last 2 weeks.. doing
some frantic bug squishing in the Anthill code to make it ready.
=)
Enjoy!
woohoo! Now all will be in peace and harmony, sweetness and light will
reign on the mailing lists, as all the complainers go file their bugs!
well, maybe there'll be a little bit of peace :-)
I hope so. =)
Note that, at this point, there aren't any helpers for Anthill who have
the power to close bugs arbitrarily. That will change as people demonstrate
their willingness to test out other people's problems, reply to bugs, etc.
There will definitely be a need for 2-3 volunteers to help keep the bugs
down to important stuff so that I'm not spending all day cleaning out the
anthill. But I want to wait to see who does this on their own accord before
assigning such privileges to people.

So here is what I finally did: I was able (go figure!!!) to mv Mail .Mail-old. Then, I set the slocate/updatedb conf file to ignore my /home/darklord stuff. I turned Anacron off, and run the updatedb command when ever it reminds me that more than 8 days have passed. I reran Kmail and it setup a new Mail directory in /home/darklord and its been fine since. Fortunately for me, I've got an 80 gig hard drive, so the space taken by .Mail-old doesn't hurt. I've been waiting to install v9.2 so I format/partition/frag everything on my hard drive, and send .Mail-old to Hell grin. I've already backed up everything pertinent.
