[tlinux-users:08376] Re: Open Suse 10.2 Satelite M-45 working

I figured out it was my fault that I lost my backup.  I thought a R/W disk meant you could write to it; not that I had to transfer the contents from the "Burn" directory to the CD.   So it looked like it was there when I read it from the terminal, but it was really only reflected on the File System.  I wasn't relying on the GNOME interface because I was trying to understand this operating system before I relied on it.  When I reloaded Linux with this new motherboard and hard drive, it seemed to insist on installing the SUSE interface, and when I used the DVD instead of the 5 CDs to get beyond the hangups with YAST2 in the former process (but not the first attempt), it was a different interface, directly to the lizard, without starting at the login.
   
  In addition to the problem with LaTex, I find that cdparanoia and imagemagic, that I specifically checked for intstallation, aren't recognized by the system I got.
   
  The mystery still remains how the "upgrade" in my motherboard affected the reading and writing when I tried to Install SUSE Linus (10.2, I think).  And why it meant that my HP6210 software wouldn't install from Windows, but now Linux could recognize it across the USB port.
   
  In my humble opinion much of this mess hinges on the permissions to the CD Drive, being a file in Linux and an object in Windows, as the BIOS tried to coordinate reading and writing operations between partitions.  I notice that while Linux recognizes that my CD Recorder works both ways through this "Burn" buffer I just discovered, the fstab still considers it read-only.  I was tweaking with the fstab in terms of the filesystem types and these permissions before I went into Windows and got blasted out of its universe with this error message that its config file had been corrupted.  Then it corrupted my backup with this state of confusion.  The moral of the story seems to be that whenever Windows is involved, you need a USB port to access any other medium reliably.

    I don't have the internet access to comply.  I also found that my backup was worthless, thanks to the R/W permissions across the partition.  The upgrade on my motherboard made the HP Driver obsolete, and I had to install SUSE four times before it was functional.  I still can't make LaTex work with Kile; as soon as I compile, the error log asks me if I compiled.  It has been a nightmare getting this laptop out of repair, though the repair was free, as Toshiba acknowledged some "problem."
   
  I lost about six months of work this way.

  Hi once again,

I see that both of you are using SUSE, can you please download and test KToshiba 0.10, there's an rpm for openSUSE 10.2 ready at the download page, and I would like you guys to test it out and give me some feedback. 

If you are willing to do so, once KToshiba is installed, make sure that you load the omnibook module with the user=1 so a regular user can write to /proc/omnibook files

su -c "modprobe -q omnibook user=1 <other options>" 

Once loaded, launch KToshiba from a terminal and send the output to me please.

Saludos
Azael
