Hello All, I'm a "beginner skilled" user of Linux and I recently installed the 9.3 distribution. Everything went fine during the installation, but a few things seem wrong or stuck me now the installation and online update is completed: - The keyboard does no more work properly (missing keys, like the "@") It appears that X keyboard cannot be configured properly and switch back to a default setting. Using SaX2, I got the following error message: (WW) MGA(0): Option "CalcAlgorithm" is not used (EE) Couldn't load XKB keymap, falling back to pre-XKB keymap And from a console, the command "setxkbmap -v 10" return this: Setting verbose level to 10 locale is C Applied rules from xfree86: model: pc104 layout: be variant: basic Trying to build keymap using the following components: keycodes: sfree86+aliases(azerty) types: complete compat: complete symbols: pc/pc(104)+pc/be(basic) geometry: pc(pc104) Error loading new keyboard description This problem has been submitted to the Suse support team and is being investigated. Hopefully, this should be fixed soon. In the meantime (It's now a week I have to cut-and-paste the characters I can't produce with my keyboard), anyone has an idea ? (My keyboard is a Mitsumi 105 keys, Belgium layout, model KFKEA5SA) - Zip Disks (IOmega). Here is another request I sent to the Suse support team, but there will be no follow-up for this one (as "configuration of ZIP drives is not supported through the terms of the installation support"): As I understand, a (Iomega) ZIP disk is automatically mounted when you first access to it. But when I have finished using the disk, I cannot eject it. I tried to unmount it (as user), and got the error message that the device is probably mounted multiple time (?), and it failed. I have to unmount the ZIP drive as root to be able to eject the disk (then I can insert and eject other zip disks as normal). In fstab, here is the entry: /dev/hdd4 /media/zip auto noauto,user 0 0 but in mtab, there are two entries (after the ZIP disk is first mounted): /dev/hdd4 /media/zip subfs rw,nosuid,nodev,sync,fs=floppyfss,procuid 0 0 /dev/hdd4 /media/zip vfat rw,noexec,nosuid,nodev,user=amigaphil 0 0 Where should I look to find the origin of the "excessive" mounting ? What should I modify/remove to be able to use the ZIP disk like a floppy disk, or at least not having to unmount the drive as root to be able to eject it ? - Mounting an encrypted FS in a file (at a mouse click) I have successfully created a encrypted filesystem in a file and I can mount/unmount it from a console. I wonder if there is a way to configure e.g. KDiskFree to make it prompt for the password when I try to mount the encrypted file ? Or is there a better way to mount/unmount it using GUI ? An icon on the desktop ? - Samba / KDE I'm trying to access my second computer using the KDE Samba client, but I'm getting all sorts of errors like "connection timeout", ... Is KDE/Samba reliable or should I configure my Suse/Linux machine as a Samba server ? Note: When I was using the 8.0 distribution, I found that the best (stable) way to access my Amiga computer shares was to mount the shares using LinNeighborghood (which is no more part of the 9.3) I believe the Samba support has improve in recent distributions, so I think I should still be able to access my Amiga shares now. I would like to see the shares being mounted (if the remote computer is available) as I log in as user. That's all for now ;-) Thanks.
