USAGE NOTES on oxygen-2

-httpd.conf: DirectoryIndex directive should have index.php3 added.

-my messages log is full of this:

Sound Blaster:  DSP command(56) timeout. Sound Blaster:  DSP
command(22) timeout. Sound Blaster:  DSP command(c6) timeout. Sound
Blaster:  DSP command(0) timeout. Sound Blaster:  DSP command(ff)
timeout. Sound Blaster:  DSP command(3) timeout. Sound Blaster:  DSP
command(41) timeout. Sound Blaster:  DSP command(56) timeout. Sound
Blaster:  DSP command(22) timeout. Sound Blaster:  DSP command(c6)
timeout. Sound Blaster:  DSP command(0) timeout. Sound Blaster:  DSP
command(ff) timeout. Sound Blaster:  DSP command(3) timeout. 

Plus, it seems that I'm having big problems with my soundcard.  It
worked ok yesterday (current uptime is 1 day, 22:40) but now my audio
subsystem is completly screwed.  I don't know if it's because VMWARE
was left open all that time, but now kmpg slows down my system to an
halt when I play the same mp3 that worked ok before. Now that I closed
VMWARE, I get a "kmpg couldn't open the audio device, all decoders
stopped". No sound at all coming out.  This might be the same thing
that I reported before (system slowing down regularly), possibly
everytime VMWARE Win'98 tries to play an audioclip.

Now, I also get extra errors:

Sound Blaster:  DSP command(41) timeout.
Sound Blaster:  DSP command(ac) timeout.
Sound Blaster:  DSP command(44) timeout.
Sound Blaster:  DSP command(b6) timeout.
Sound Blaster:  DSP command(30) timeout.
Sound Blaster:  DSP command(ff) timeout.
Sound Blaster:  DSP command(7) timeout.
Sound: DMA (output) timed out - IRQ/DRQ config error?
Sound Blaster:  DSP command(41) timeout.
Sound Blaster:  DSP command(ac) timeout.
Sound Blaster:  DSP command(44) timeout.
Sound Blaster:  DSP command(b6) timeout.
Sound Blaster:  DSP command(30) timeout.
Sound Blaster:  DSP command(ff) timeout.
Sound Blaster:  DSP command(7) timeout.  

*shutting down X and redoing the sndconfig did solve the problem
however... *

Methink VMWARE is having a bad interaction with the rest of the
system.  Which is weird because I don't remember previous install on
RH6.1/Mandrake6.1 doing this.  Could someone tell me if they've got the
same problems? From what I could read on VMWARE support web page, sound
support is buggy anyway, but I have to wonder why my system slows to a
crawl...


-something else I picked up with dmesg:

kcminfo uses obsolete /proc/pci interface 

-How about adding the following folders and reordering the different
KDE menu items in them (specifically from Utilities and everything
under "Gnome and X apps") 

System Utilities, Desktop utilities, Productivity

The main folder should also have subfolders (for example, under
Internet: Mail, Web, Net, FTP, etc), perhaps with an if condition (if
number of items in folder is >5, then create following subfolders...)
since nobody like having 3 items distributed in 5 empty subfolders ;-)

This would make the menu clean, structured and efficient to use with
access to the full functionnality offered by the system even when
everything is installed.

In fact, I think someone should come with an overall standard
structure for all distributions and some "hints" in RPM for ultimate
placement in those folders.  

No sense in having a different menu for each distribution...

-After contacting tech support, I realized that my OKIDATA OL400e uses
the
same driver then the HP Laserjet IIP.  I tested it and it prints the
test
page perfectly ok.  You could add an alias in the printer selection
menu and
magically support another printer ;-)

UPGRADE TO OXYGEN-3

-Message w/upgrade to HPT366 could be a bit better.  A mention that
the boot disk would serve so that the install has access to the other
hard drives (not necessarily useful for everyone ;-))

-I don't know why the install doesn't autodetect the root partition! 
It already know wheter such or such partition is root or not, why not
autodetect?

-Why ask for the type of install when the user is going to upgrade?

-"Please wait, preparing for installation" takes a lots of time. 
This isn't a problem in itself, but the program should show that some
activity is going on.

-Console 1 shows the following errors and warnings:

Glib_WARNING **: getpwuid_r(): failed due to : no such user

Error reading info on service mcserv: No such file or directory

/var/tmp/rmp-tmp.66851: /sbin/chkconfig: No such file or directory
/var/tmp/rmp-tmp.66851: /sbin/chkconfig: No such file or directory

grep: /usr/lib/linuxconf/uninstall/options: No such file or directory

-Trying to install the crypto but it won't work for anyone of them:

An error occurred Net::FTP:Bad Peer address... propagated

-Why does my kdm logo for my user looks like a female penguin for my
user?

-Why do I have remadmin and remadmin.rpmorig in /sbin? According to
diff, they're the same...

-The upgrade installed a folder Chinese with (a program that isn't
installed): Chinese X input method
