Hi !
I've just installed LM8.1 on my laptop, which was running LM8.0
(powerpack) previously.
First, I've tried the "upgrade" function, and the result was some kind
of unusable system: X was'nt able to start, several things were
misconfigured, ...
the problem (which is still here) is some "host doesn't match", so I've
had to do a chmod +s on X... I've not been able to find where X is
checking the hostname, and which one it is looking at.
So, I installed 8.1 from scratch, and I noticed several bugs:
*my hard disk (IBM-DARA....) is not fully identified in harddrake: the
string is "IBM-DARA-...." but the builder of the disk is "unknown" in
the panel... Maybe it would be possible to try to look at that kind of
string to figure out the builder of the hardware ? (but since its only
to have a nice seeing in hardrake, maybe it doesn't worth it...).
*the file "/usr/X11R6/bin/Xconfigurator" was a link to
"../sbin/XFdrake", and that's wrong, it should be a link to
"../../sbin/XFdrake"
*Even if the package "telnet-server..." is installed, there is no PAM
file for telnet... Maybe it could be good to add a PAM configuration
file in the package ?
*the installation doesn't care about the selected packages in expert
mode (weel, in fact only for some of them). I've got no PDA, so I've
unselected "*pilot*", but these packages have been installed. Same
problem with Apache and Irda-utils ... (with my 8.0, and my old 7.0, I
noticed these kind of problems)
*And last, but NOT LEAST AT ALL, my laptop has a i440MX motherboard,
with a i810 chipset and a CS4299 rev D sound card. The original
modules.conf file was:
alias sound-slot-0 i810_audio
But the sound was very noisy, the the sound device was not freed after
use by some programms, ....
I looked at my old modules.conf file from mdk8.0 (in which the sound was
working perfectly !) and I remplaced the file by:
alias sound-slot-0 snd-card-intel8x0
options snd-card-intel8x0 "snd_pbk_frame_size=64"
alias sound-service-0-0 snd-mixer-oss
alias sound-service-0-1 snd-seq-oss
alias sound-service-0-3 snd-pcm-oss
alias sound-service-0-8 snd-seq-oss
alias sound-service-0-12 snd-pcm-oss
And now, its working perfectly agaim.... but I'm not sure the last
paragraph (snd-**-oss) is really needed...
*The last thing is a wrong link in /dev (using devfsd). The link
/dev/cdrom is a link to ../cdroms/cdrom0 instead of ./cdroms/cdrom0.
Since I don't really know how to use devfsd.conf, I've not been able to
correct that.
If you can put that in next MDK, and maybe give me some answers for my
questions, thank you very much !
Mathias
PS: and what about supermount ?? I've noticed that it's no longer
working (I've got even a kernel crash when I tried to play with it), so
we have to use "mount ..." again ??
