apologies for the length, i normally fairly succinct ;-)
ordered 7.2 deluxe from uk source, it'll prob arrive before i
finish pulling the iso pair, now the updates....
re kde upgrading
is it a problem from kde xx on 7.1 to kde 2 on 7.1
but not kde xx to kde 2 within a 7.2 setup
MAJOR (to me at least) BUG
somewhere "cd ~" seems to be executed
a) startx(KDE) in somedir
b) open xemacs
c) go to open a file
the file dialog has you in user $HOME
how do i stop this please?
why does it happen now
similar when open an xterm
minor bugs
1. printer install - after completing print test page screen, you get
another installing file picture with no text
2. no way to choose which of 2 physically fitted video cards ?
builtin agp on a plugin cpu card or a voodoo3 pci ?
3. similar problem, with via-rhine and 3c509 eth, via-rhine seems but fails
insmod
4. i install telnet, its a lan for 2 boxes at work, now i get
telnet server messages relating to localhost splashing on the screen
eg...
order 7.2 delux from uk source, re kde upgr<daemon.crit>mon[1428]: failure
for servers telnet 973606833 localhostat least) BUG
<daemon.info>mon[1428]: not aler6ing for failure of servers/telnet 9
5. pci kernel modules for arcom adc & dig i/o cards, working ok
under 7.1 with 2.2.15
now it starts to get confusing......
tried looking at source code
what different for these two lines
a) 2.2.15 single + SMP
while ( ( PCI_Device = pci_find_device( VendorID, DeviceID, PCI_Device) ) )
{
.....
}
compiles and functioning on a 7.1 box, only change prior to that 2.2.10 area
- a fair while back 1999 area??
b) 7.2 RC1 2.2.17
complies and hangs within this while statement
removed extra brackets, works properly.. reads the adc valves .. grand
all my installs are expert + develop + package select, i usually kill off emacs,
gnome, other desktops, palm pilot and most games, keep most of rest
thought i'll do another install, try hack-kernel......
tried compiling
screenfuls of complaints of syntax in the kernel headers....
thought maybe you can't have hack-kernel and std mdk kernel at same time....
off we go again....
leave out hack-kernel, an hour passes.....
same problem, ideas please
rpm -qa|grep devel|wc -l ->43 for my 7.1
->168 for 7.2 -- seems a bit high almost...
