Hey gang, Still having troubles umounting either my windows partition and/or my SuSE 8.0 partition unless *all* instances of konqueror are closed/killed, and anything to do with kiothumbnails. If any one of these is still running, I get the 'can't umount <partiton>, busy' popup. Any ideas how to fix this? Also, my webcam worked fine in 8.0, but doesn't in 8.2, and following a few ideas I've read in the list here, I want to try first the 'apci=off', but can't for the life of me remember where I should put it or what I should do *after* I put it where it belongs, to test if it did the trick. I chose to use LILO during installation (I'm sort of used to it, so went with it) if that helps anyone with this. Thanks in advance.

Make sure you're not in that mounted directory before you try to umount it. Cheers

Yes, don't use FAM. Charles -- "Never make any mistaeks." (Anonymous, in a mail discussion about to a kernel bug report.)

Ummm...okay, heh...what's FAM, and is it really okay to leave it 'off' all the time, and *where* would I turn this off or 'not use' it? (sorry I'm getting to this so late, I'm pretty much disabled and had to move, and didn't have a lot of people who could help, sp things went at a snails pace, but at least I'm back now).

FAM is the file access monitor daemon, it keeps track of files and directories changes for applications that uses it. You can turn it off with the run level editor. To tell you the truth, I have never notice any lost in functionality having it off. After taking a closer look, it seem like one can also set a timeout in /etc/sysconfig/fam.

For a test, simply type that on the lilo prompt, just before booting. To make it permanent, in lilo.conf, in the append line (and run lilo afterwards, of course). It is documented on the sdb. -- Cheers, Carlos Robinson
