Hi,
when the following url is entered in firefox:
www.hotmail.com
it re-directs to:
www.msn.com
even if the hotmail link on the latter is clicked, resulting in an endless loop.
This isn't a problem in Konqueror.
Also the Knemo notifier (grey rectangle) stays on the screen. Can paint it grey with the busy cursor, but it wont disappear!
Regards

Yes I've had the same problem since ditching Ubuntu, I can't figure out what may be causing this (using Firefox incidentally). |

Looks like Msft is incorporating Hotmail into the msn site,
from Google:
MSN Hotmail
Free web-based e-mail. 2MB e-mail storage, signatures, stationery, HTML compatible.
www.hotmail.com/ - 11k - 11 Oct 2006 - Cached - Similar pages |

Error Mounting /dev/sda1
The rc4 2006 installer has a feature- if one choses to 'install' but not format the / partition, and that partition is not reiserfs, it'll bomb. One has to enable to format, set the right partition type, then disable the format. It bombs with an erroneous error message, that it cannot mount the partition, while in fact it can (ie: from a su console) , but it has silently asserted the wrong filesystem type.
While technically that is an appropriate error message because the command it uses to mount the partition (which includes the partition type) fails, it sheds little light on the fix. |

In both RC3 and RC4, boot-up messages always show this error (though I haven't noticed any consequences):
Mounting local filesystems...mount: sysfs already mounted or /sys busy
failed.
after "setting kernel variables" and before "activating swap file". |

linookser,
nothing to worry about, at that point sysfs is mounted already.

Don't know if this is a bug but I just bought a Dell 640m laptop with Core 2 Duo T7200 etc. RC4 does not set the screen resolution correctly. I add screen=1280x900 (native res) on the boot line but it boots with 1024x768. After googling around I discovered the 915resolution utility and by making sure that runs before X starts I can get the correct resolution. Given that 915resolution was already installed on the RC4 disk, I am guessing that Kanotix was intending to install this automatically?
I also put the latest kanotix SMP kernel on (2.6.18.1-kanotix-1) but found that it did not include the appropriate driver for my wireless card (ipw3945). After googling, I discovered I had to download the source and compile it myself which worked although I can't seem to get it hotplugging properly. Although I don't have any external bluetooth devices to test it, KDE seems to report the laptops bluetooth interface hotplugging on and off just fine. |

PS I get the same message on an Acer laptop.
Yep I get the same on a Athlon XP1500 desktop machine here.
Very early on the boot it says
Starting init process
Suspend2: Initrd lacks echo> /proc/suspend2/do-resume
INIT: version 2.86 booting
This looks a bit odd and is a new thing that didnt occor on earlier versions of kanotix.
Maybee this is fixed allready but there is a bit more detail anyway. |

Yes, I have seen this a few times on my new Dell laptop (mentioned above) as well. I've only seen it on the live CD and only about 1 in 3 reboots. I've since done a HD install on my laptop and not seen it again there. |

Hello!
I use Kanotix RC4 with the latest dist-upgrade inside Virtual PC:
Code:
Videocard S3 86c764/765 [Trio32/64/64V+] X.Org 7.1.1 [ 1024x768 @75hz ]
I want to change my resolution from 1024*768 to 1400*1050.
I tried with [Kanotix->Configure->Display] and with
[Kanotix->Utilities->change-res] but it does not work! 
Is there a low-level way (by editing certain config files) to change
the display resolution?
Thanks, Roman |

BTW, I started "Control Center" and I noticed that vesa driver is used - probably
because I entered
Code:
xmodule=vesa
at install.
So I clicked on button [redetect] and restarted virtual machine. Unfortunately Kanotix did
not start (just blank very wide screen). After rebooting with option '2' I was able to open
xorg.conf (/etc/X11) and noticed that instead of vesa driver s3 is used, which did not
work in the current release candidate . So I have two questions:
1. Is it possible to edit xorg.conf so that s3 driver would work
2. Is it possible to use vesa driver with resolutions greater than 1024×768
As a temporary solution I edited xorg.conf and changed driver back to the 'vesa' driver,
so I am able to start Kanotix again 
Thanks, Roman |

Here is an interesting information:
http://www.betanews.com/article/Virtual ... 1160688475
Zitat:
As for Linux support, the only real problem that Microsoft has is that they never finished implementing their S3 Trio 64 emulation. The 24-bit color mode is missing. In theory, Linux drivers and "probing" (HW detection) code would retrieve the supported modes from VESA BIOS before attempting to switch to them. However, most Linux S3 Trio 64 drivers were written based on the fact that ALL true S3 Trio 64 hardware does implement 24-bit color. This is why the #1 most common problem for Linux on Virtual PC and Virtual Server is messed-up video. There are also a few issues with Microsoft's Linux version of VMAdditions. They were actually written for Microsoft by a German company which wrote the OS/2 Additions for Connectix years ago. These issues, however, are typical Linux distro compatibility issues (things like RPM installations on Debian) and they are not terribly different than the challenges people face with VMware's VMTools on various Linux distros.

Hi,
When trying to update-rc.d or rccond a service, it doesn't add the link to /etc/rc*/* I had to run it with the -f option for it to actually make the link.
Ex. update-rc.d lvm defaults
doesn't work but
update-rc.d -f lvm defaults
works. |

linuxgeek,
kanotix uses a freeze feature to prevent services to be started after upgrades without the user taking notice. so, what you do is:
Code:
unfreeze-rc.d , use rcconf or whatever, freeze-rc.d

Hi I don't know if this has been reported before, however Splashy does not work correctly. I installed RC4 and then did an apt-get dist-upgrade - after which Splashy will work for 3/4 of the booting process - and then the process will halt (it seems as though perhaps splashy is waiting for an event?) pretty much indefinitely - and it will only continue when I press escape, then alt and F1 to drop to a terminal. After I do this the booting process will continue normally.
It seems a shame to have something as trivial as a progress bar interfere, or halt the booting process in this way. |

Splashy is not working well for me.
I did a dist-upgrade last night and randomly could reboot.
Today I reinstalled 2006-01rc4 and proved to myself that, for me, there is a serious problem with the new Splashy (besides the plain penguin).
Reinstalled again and then removed Splashy before rebooting.
All is working well. At least it doesn't hang and not allow exiting Splashy.
With this new install, running only apt-get and mainly upgrade.
Installed the 2.6.18.3-slh-up-1 kernel with h2's script and then upgraded in a console.
Did an upgrade, just to get up to date, but it caused the problem with the Splashy. Maybe I'll just do upgrades for a while. I don't *have* to have the very latest. Don't have any new hardware.
And now there seems to be only 1 stable kernel.
h2's script was still reporting 2.6.18.3-slh-up-1.
I'll just keep watching. Probably didn't need the new kernel either. |

Sorry one more to add to the list. It does not appear that it is possible to enable DMA on DVD drives on recent laptops computers with no IDE interface. (i.e computers with SATA interfaces only - as is currently and will be the case with all future Intel chipsets. (Or in other words, they have already effectively abandoned the IDE interface).
So users with such computers are currently restricted to PIO only mode for their drives.
I don't know if this is a Kernel bug, or if it is a Debian bug - so I am uncertain who best to report the issue to. |
