Titel: KDE-Keyboard Language Selection

Hi
If i right-click on the taskbar-icon to configure my keyboard localization (country-flag), the first tab "belegung" does not display any languages under "verfügbare Belegungen" and "aktive Belegungen" although i can switch them with a left click on the country-flag in the taskbar.

PS: how can i manually fix my fstab? i had a look on the script, but i do not understand it ...

I can't get a fresh install with a separate /home partition. Error comes back as partition needs formatting (when it doesn't). This is listed in the news as an update-install problem but it is also a fresh install problem.

Titel: wlan Thinkpad R40 doesn't work

Just dl'd 2006_01_RC1, and whereas with the Easter edition wlan worked straight away, it doesn't in the new release, so I didn't update/ upgrade.
Regards & keep on with this great Linux project!

Stupid question... but can you use RC1 to update and existing install?

Boot from the CD, and start kanotix-installer. Choose if you want to do a fresh install or an update. Few more options, but you'll see when you get there ;-).

I'm assuming that you know how to get around this problem manually. For those that don't know, well, this is how I'd do it (although I haven't done it for a while):

Let's say I'm installing to to /dev/hda1 and my existing home is in a separate partition = /dev/hda2 (mine is reiserfs).

I do the normal install (or update install) to /dev/hda1 (including letting the installer put the new /home there), and before I reboot into the new install, I edit /media/hda1/etc/fstab to include the following line:
/dev/hda2 /home reiserfs defaults 0 2
and I delete user's homes under /media/hda1/home by doing:
rm -fr /media/hda1/home/*
and now reboot into the new install.

Titel: Error message on SMB mount

Hi,

Using LinNeighborhood found my local network shares,. Find my fileserver AZGARD and mount a folder (a Samba share) & get error report:

Zitat:

Can't load /etc/samba/smb.conf - run testparm to debug it
params.c:OpenConfFile() - Unable to open configuration file "/etc/samba/smb.conf"
No such file or directory

Yet the mounted share worked fine. Geschockt

From the release notes:

Zitat:

Update-install does not work in RC1, if you have /home on a separate partition, due to a bug in the installer.

Swynndla has provided us with a work-around, though. Thank you, Swynndla.

Titel: klik troubled?

(repost as got item into wrong thread)

Hi,

Have tried 2006-01-RC1 with klik 3 times (scribus, inkscape, tdfsb) and none worked.

Could be a coincidence...

Installed 2006 RC1 yesterday without any problems (I do use a separate /home partition - no problem at all) but I am unable to unmount and eject my ipod as a user by klicking the desktop-icon in kde. Ah and another thing - ALSA does not work as it hasn't in Easter edition. only as root here - I guess it has to do with the kernel. my soundcard is a terratec aureon space. I am using oss at the moment.

Titel: color of F keys in grub gfx boot menu

I suggest to change the color of F1,F2,F3,F4 in grub gfx menu because the actual color, which is black, is unreadable within the background.

Maybe any lighter color should be good.

Titel: passwords and usernames in installation dialogue

Sorry! The message following was put here, but it SHOULD have gone in the RC2 reporting list. I've put it there now (Sept. 22).

I tried installing to disk today. Upon running into the separate '/home' partition problem like everyone else (btw: 'Mountpoint' is spelled incorrectly in that warning), I stepped back through the installer to try other things.

When I got (the second time) to the "user" tab, where you input your root password and user's real name, username, and password, the realname and username had been remembered, but the root passwords and user passwords were filled in with 6 stars (whereas my passwords all have considerably more characters than that). I think that people used to the installation might run into more problems than a new user here, because they'll see that their username was remembered, and notice that the password fields are filled in, but might not notice that they're filled with the wrong passwords! I anticipate that could cause a LOT of headaches.

Titel: RE: Error message on SMB mount

I've noticed with RC1 that I have to rerun alsaconf to get my sound system working every time I boot. A minor nuisance but still...what's going on here? I am running an nForce 4 motherboard with the onboard sound using the snd_intel8x0.c driver.

BTW, is there a way to swich back and forth between the no-password login and a password protected login? There are times when I may wish to protect access but most of the time its nice not to have to bother with it on this home office machine (no bratlings around to worry about and I'm too old to be hiding things from the wife).

Titel: RE: Error message on SMB mount

paul,
both problems should be easily solved:
sound:
after running alsaconf, set the volumes in kmix and then do: alsactl store.
that should do.
for you login:
go to kcontrol and choose the last option, something like systemmanagement (german install here)
there you find loginmanager. it does what you want.
