Product: drakxtools
Component: DrakConnect
Summary: Two problems: XFree86 and Drakconnect
Version: 9.1-15mdk
Platform: PC
OS/Version: All
Status: UNCONFIRMED
Severity: major
Priority: P2
AssignedTo: [EMAIL PROTECTED]
ReportedBy: [EMAIL PROTECTED]
When I upgraded to 9.1beta from 9.0, XFree86 (I think) began blanking teh
screen on me at intervals which seem random. It goes blank for less than a
second, more than once a minute.
When 9.1rc1 came out, I upgraded but the problem remained - had to reformat /
and /usr, if that matters. I *had* to reformat, because tehre was no "upgrade
or upgrade packages only" option, like there was when I upgraded from 8.2 to
9.0.
When 9.1rc2 came out I upgraded again but the problem remained, and, even
worse, now I have no Inet connection on that box. I load the Control Center
and click Network and Internet and it's still configured for my DFE-530TX NIC
(which uses the 8139too alias).
I click Connect and it says "connecting to the internet ..." but then it
says "connection failed."
I can boot [Ugh!] Win98 and there is no problem.
I can open a konsole window and I can ping 12.223.2.8 or 12.223.2.9 just fine,
but I can't ping insightbb.com. That's odd because 12.223.2.8&9 are the IPs
insight uses to register NICs with their service. In fact I can type
12.223.2.8 in a konqueror window and I get the standard "You are currently
subscribed to insightBB.com. Your account is active".
Of course insight's "tech support" is useless, as they say they don't support
linux, and indeed, I can GET connected just fine running Winduhs.
I am at a loss.
HELP!!!!
