I usually break everything I touch so I rather postpone
the whole thing until it is a must to buy a new computer.

I will instead buy hard disks to my old computers
until all of them break down

Exception would be some ARM stick like the PQ I-Stick
that has 2GB DRAM and are already rooted so one
can install Linux on it. That could maybe sway be
to buy anything like a fully functional computer ever
so first only HD and USB Flash and boot from them on
my old computers.

Thanks Kirk for responding.

Your smbclient doesn't show a "Master". Are you using a router or direct to internet link. Further, your smbclient should show others in the Server list as being detected should there be a Master. This would allow resource mounting by hostname vs IP-addresses. It may appear that your network has same issue with LAN registration as the several I looked at today. At present, this appears to be related to DNS/WINS registration not to mention Master-Browser election.

Edit: There actually may be a FATDOG solution to this (because of its integration of SAMBA product or via DNSMASQ).

P.S. Please add "Testparm" (SAMBA4) back into the distro packaging when you build the next interation. Thx.

Hi ally,

I reported this as a bug at LXDE on Source Forge. Not sure if I stated the case there properly.

WillM,

I wouldn't call that a Lxpanel bug. They probably never envisioned the filesystem be modified in that way. I'll try to fix that for the next release.

Edit: Fixed for next release.

This may have been alluded to before:

Scenario:
Booted Live selecting LVM2 option. Tailored desktop and added a dozen PPM items to system.

At Shutdown, selected the save-session path. Selected to have it save to the multi-session DVD (it indicated 209MB) and system proceeded normally to conclusion without any error messages.

On reboot, the system shows

• loading base sfs ... then,
• an error message of "loading savefile from unsupported type device - ignored"

AT desktop, there is no savefile apparent on the Live media.

Ideas???

Questions on FATDOG's LAN operations

1. When network adapter changes need to be made for current session use, is the /etc/network/interfaces file ever updated or used?
   
2. Can the interfaces file be used for any LAN adapter managment?

Thanks in advance.

I installed Fatdog 620 beta2 on the hard drive of an older HP desktop.

video-info-glx 1.5.2 Sat 16 Mar 2013 on Fatdog64 620 Linux 3.7.10 x86_64

I was using a usb keyboard but on first bootup after installing to the
hard drive it gave a choice of two savefiles, one a 520 savefile and
the new one but the keyboard wasn't working when I tried to enter a
number.
I plugged in a ps2 keyboard and rebooted, it worked.
Fatdog is working well so far.

I installed 620 beta2 on a 16gb SDHC card with the fatdog installer.

video-info-glx 1.5.3 Sat 16 Mar 2013 on Fatdog64 620 Linux 3.7.10 x86_64
0.0 VGA compatible controller: nVidia Corporation GeForce 8600 GT (rev a1)
oem: NVIDIA

It takes a long time to load from the SDHC (class 10) card but it's working
okay otherwise so far.

EDIT:The NVIDIA-Linux-x86_64-310.40.run proprietary driver installed
okay:
X Server: Xorg Driver: nvidia

OpenGL vendor string: NVIDIA Corporation
OpenGL renderer string: GeForce 8600 GT/PCIe/SSE2
OpenGL version string: 3.3.0 NVIDIA 310.40

EDIT:I did another install to a SDHC card but used the small initrd
this time, much better.
