You can unload the driver manually as root (su) using the rmmod command. Or, if the driver was automatically loaded by hotplug, you can disable it in the hotplug configuration files in the /etc/hotplug directory.

Re: [expert] Unloading usbscanner
Miark mused: I tried a rmmod usbscanner but it responds that there isn't one. And I dunno what to do in the hotplug directory. Somebody suggested that I add usbscanner to the blacklist file, but that didn't make any difference. VMware says nothing more than See your Linux distribution's documentation which is no help at all. Miark Ok, I tried running through my vmware setup to see if I could use my scanner; I can´t. I can´t even see my usb devices. This isn´t a problem for me since I can use a shared folder. However, I tried looking through the link I sent you and found that vmware looks for the scanner in /proc/bus/usb. I looked in that dir on my system and found nothing there; yet my scanner still works. My next thought was ¨ok, where is it?¨ I looked around and didn´t find anything that I thought would work. That´s really a moot point though, since in reading the vmware docs, they say that you can modify the path by going to ´edit virtual machine settings USB´ and changing the path in ´Path to usbdevfs´ field. That wasn´t available on my setup. I would suggest at this point that maybe you start bugging vmware people and asking where this setting is if it really exists and maybe someone else could enlighten us on where ´Path to usbdevfs´ exists on mdk? -- Michael Holt Snohomish, WA (o_ [EMAIL PROTECTED](o_ (o_ //\ www.holt-tech.net(/)_ (/)_ V_/_www.mandrake.com Want to buy your Pack or Services from MandrakeSoft?

I am loggin in remotely, and I am on mdk9.0 On my other machine, where i log in locally (9.1mdk), it is all fine. I can use any theme i want (prefer xp), and the color is OK. With 9.0, loggin in remotely, regardless of them, i do not get a background coloronly the task bar changes when i change theme. Any ideas? I have been a big kde user...but after todays discussion, decided to jump into icewm. I like the way it loads so quickly, if only i could get it to look nice... _thanks Richard __ Do you Yahoo!?

If you are running the new hardware detection daemon at startup and it is not detecting the harddrive, it will probably just remove the block file at every reboot, even after you create it. I have a similar problem when I hook up an IDE drive to my ide 3/4 - raid controller on the motherboard but haven't needed to mess around with it enough to make it work yet. You sure that you have the jumpers set right on the drive. If you are using cable select, it is possible that Mandrake is simply misreading the slave/master settings and ignoring the conflicting drive.

RE: [expert] VMware Martian Source (solved?)
martian packets have source addresses that don't belong on the network they came from -- they're an indication of misconfiguration or mischief (e.g. spoofing). With VMWare in the mix, it probably means that you've enabled bridging, then forcibly set VMWare's bridged interface to a network address that doesn't belong on the network that VMware is bridging too.

[expert] GRUB / booting in 9.1
Howdy. I am trying to install 9.1 on a brand new MoBo. It's a Intel D865GBF. Info is here: http://www.intel.com/design/motherbd/bf/ The install process seems to go just fine, until the very end. When I reboot, I get my Win98 start up menu. GRUB is not installing. On top of that, I made 3 floppies to do an install from the hard drive. None of them will boot. I get kernel panics. I made 2 boot disk during the install, nieither of them will boot. I tried booting from the CD and executing 'rescue' however it mounts my mdk 7.2 file system on hdb6. The 9.1 is on hdb7. So that is no good. Assuming that 9.1 is actually installed... how can I get to the file system to try installing GRUB? Also, can someone plase post a GRUB /boot/grub/menu.lst entry to boot a 9.1 system so I know what it should look like? That would be very helpful. Thanks much.

I Really like this GUI since it uses less resources than gnome or kde. On MD 9.1 with icewm-1.2.13pre3 (from latest cooker rpm) the themes are basically in /usr/X11R6/lib/X11/icewm/themes/THEMENAME/themefiles The *.theme are `simple` textfiles which described theme details, colours, sizes etcetera. It isn`t even very hard to adjust a theme to one`s own liking that way. The result can be saved in the said directory (but will be overwritten by a next update) and its path is saved in the ~/.icewm/theme file. Look at the IceWM documentation on how to similarly save the whole theme in one`s personal .icewm directory. By fooling around with the Infadel2/Overloaded theme and peeking at the content of the Ergologic theme I was able to make a more beautiful theme - according to my personal taste at least.

Re: [expert] GRUB / booting in 9.1
skippi wrote: Howdy. I am trying to install 9.1 on a brand new MoBo. It's a Intel D865GBF. Info is here: http://www.intel.com/design/motherbd/bf/ The install process seems to go just fine, until the very end. When I reboot, I get my Win98 start up menu. GRUB is not installing. On top of that, I made 3 floppies to do an install from the hard drive. None of them will boot. I get kernel panics. I made 2 boot disk during the install, nieither of them will boot. I tried booting from the CD and executing 'rescue' however it mounts my mdk 7.2 file system on hdb6. The 9.1 is on hdb7. So that is no good. Assuming that 9.1 is actually installed... how can I get to the file system to try installing GRUB? Also, can someone plase post a GRUB /boot/grub/menu.lst entry to boot a 9.1 system so I know what it should look like? That would be very helpful. Thanks much. Adrian What you can do is boot the rescue and choose command line. From there, you can mount the install you wish by hand. [1] mkdir /mnt/disk mount /dev/hdb7 /mnt/disk chroot /mnt/disk You should now get a prompt from / of your install. If you have other partitions you need to mount, do so, for example: mount /usr Try to see if the installer created /boot/grub/menu.lst for you ls /boot less /boot/grub/menu.lst If the menu is there, and looks OK, and you have /boot/grub/install.sh, all that might need doing is to run the install script: sh /boot/grub/install.sh You can back out of the chroot when you are done: umount /usr (if necessary) exit umount /mnt/disk ctrl-alt-del to reboot Here is part of my grub but the installer might make kernel commands for your board that are different from mine. You could also look at /etc/lilo.conf, if you don't have menu.lst, for some reason. The commands might have been put there in the append= statement. timeout 7 color black/cyan yellow/cyan i18n (hd3,7)/boot/grub/messages keytable (hd3,7)/boot/us.klt default 9 title linux kernel (hd3,7)/boot/vmlinuz root=/dev/hdg8 devfs=mount noapic hdc=ide-scsi vga=788 initrd (hd3,7)/boot/initrd.img title linux-nonfb kernel (hd3,7)/boot/vmlinuz root=/dev/hdg8 devfs=mount hdc=ide-scsi initrd (hd3,7)/boot/initrd.img title failsafe kernel (hd3,7)/boot/vmlinuz root=/dev/hdg8 failsafe devfs=nomount hdc=ide-scsi initrd (hd3,7)/boot/initrd.img title windows root (hd0,0) chainloader +1 I just remembered there is also an option to reinstall the bootloader after typing F1. The thing with the bootfloppies is, probably, because the kernel has become too big/there is not enough room for the initrd.img. That has been a problem for a lot of people.

Re: [expert] How to make adsl-start available for users?
Eduardo M. A. M. Mendes wrote: Hello Many thanks. I did as you have suggested but everytime I issue the command sudo /usr/sbin/adsl-start, a password is requested. Thanks Eduardo Like Jack said, look for typos and 'cat /etc/sudoers' to see if your edit is there. I remember having a hard time getting the syntax exactly right when I was first trying to do this; seem to recall getting error messages from visudo. Something about spacing/tabbing needing to be exactly right. What I do now is copy and paste from a working file. You might want to select the root line by dragging with the left mouse button depressed and paste it where you want it (beginning of newline) by depressing the middle button. Then, carefully change the name to your own and the commands as needed. Maybe pasting my command and changing the names would survive the email journey but I don't know. I suspect that syntax/spacing deal. Rolf On Sunday 05 October 2003 08:28 pm, Rolf Pedersen wrote: Eduardo M. A. M. Mendes wrote: Hello I can only adsl-start by logging as root.

Many thanks Ed As root in a terminal, call visudo. This is the vi editor operating on /etc/sudoers. Press 'I' to insert some text and, since I have done this for me, and not wanting to give a password when I call adsl-start, you might want to insert something like the following if you want that: rolfALL=NOPASSWD: /usr/sbin/adsl-start, /usr/sbin/adsl-stop, /usr/bin/rdate and so forth. I put it right under root's line. To save, press 'Escape' and type :wq The command to execute is sudo /usr/sbin/adsl-start, for example. I create an icon on the desktop with that as the command to execute. Rolf Want to buy your Pack or Services from MandrakeSoft?
