Little problem for me with Thunderbird: it will not localize in my native language (french); I selected thunderbird-fr in Synaptic, both packages (thunderbird and thunderbird-fr) were installed but TB is still in english. I did not have this problem with beta 2.
For information, I used "Add Locale" before installing TB, and used it again after, without effetc on TB; everything else is ok.

During shutdown of previous live CD operation, noticed the following error message appearing briefly:

"Warning; loop detected - ultrabayd required"

Would this have any bearing upon the 99% CPU utilisation, as indicated in the previous screen capture image?

[MaddogF16]

If not mistaken ultrabayd is the daemon for the pcmcia slot?

EeePC does not have PCMCIA/CardBus slot, though.

[MaddogF16]

At 99% it's sure trying hard to find one.

Unfortunately.

Also:  have performed regular install into EeePC already; attempting to add USB cellmodem.  PCC reports "Could not install the kppp-provider package!", although Synaptic already successfully refreshed.  Searching in Synaptic reveals kppp* not present in repository - therefore, unable to install cellmodem.

Same answer we always give... choose a better DNS server; that's the job they are supposed to do.

Thanks

If I try to install open dns ( 208.67.222.222 ), I can NOT get an internet connection, apart from 192.xxxx, which connects me to....nothing.
My dynamic IP addess is usually something like 124.xxxxx  or  115.xxxx
My dns is 203.144.207.49

I have deleted my profile several times, did all I did like in 2009.2 ,and  used adsl-setup .
Tried all I know,
Please , imaging you are talking to a moron, as that is how I feel.
Tell me,
step1
step2
step3.....
and if it works, I buy you a beer

Posting from KDE Minime live CD, running in live mode from external USB drive on Asus EeePC 710SD.

Question regarding performance:  GUI responsiveness of KDE4 running from CD on this (maximum) 900MHz machine is considerably faster than 2010 beta2 KDE4 hard-drive installation on Acer TravelMate 2203 laptop running at 2800MHz - why?

How is this possible?

That really doesn't tell one squat. Open a Konsole window and type in top and paste what it displays. It will tell you a heck of allot more than Gkrellm ever will.

I don't "install" anything, just directly edit, as root, /etc/sysconfig/network-scripts/ifcfg-eth1 to include the DNS servers I want;

DEVICE=eth1
BOOTPROTO=static
IPADDR=192.168.1.189
NETMASK=255.255.255.0
GATEWAY=192.168.1.1
ONBOOT=yes
METRIC=10
MII_NOT_SUPPORTED=no
USERCTL=no
MTU=1492
DNS1=4.2.2.2
DNS2=4.2.2.1
RESOLV_MODS=no
LINK_DETECTION_DELAY=6
IPV6INIT=no
IPV6TO4INIT=no

save the file, then, as root, do a service network restart.

[Xenaflux]

My file looks like this

 
DEVICE=eth0
BOOTPROTO=dhcp
ONBOOT=yes
METRIC=10
MII_NOT_SUPPORTED=no
USERCTL=yes
DNS1=208.67.222.222
DNS2=208.67.220.220
RESOLV_MODS=yes
LINK_DETECTION_DELAY=6
IPV6INIT=no
IPV6TO4INIT=no
ACCOUNTING=yes
DHCP_CLIENT=dhclient
NEEDHOSTNAME=yes
PEERDNS=no
PEERYP=yes
PEERNTPD=no

I have make some changes ( and restored them back now ) as I thought they may effect my setup.
I made them one by one.
However, the result is always negative
Service network restart gives me this:
[root@localhost chon]# service network restart

Just this morning , I have installed OpenDNS on a freshly installed 2009.2 minime.
It took 10 minutes of fiddling, but it 's there.

So, whats different

[Old-Polack]

Xenaflux:

I always use static IP addresses, so don't have any of the PEER* stuff. Could it be something there? Also I have RESOLV_MODS=no, as opposed to your yes.

[Xenaflux]

Also I have RESOLV_MODS=no

I tried that.....no diff

I always use static IP addresses,

Well, I always have used dynamic ones, as they are provided by the ISP.
Every time I boot into their network, I get another one.

Besides, I sit with the idea in my head that all the years before it has been working, and I got a feeling it's software.
Of course, I don't have the brains to prove it.

I just discovered, that the command pppoe-start also refuses to work, whereas on the 2009.2 ( this morning )it worked.

So, I installed the full version of 2010 on anther partition, same hardware, and I get same bad results

Phhh, I am getting very tired of this.
I will spend a few more hours on it....who knows

[Old-Polack]

Xenaflux:

The static IP refers to the IP of your individual machine, not the Internet IP. My internet IP will change if I reset the modem with a different mac address. That's totally up to the ISP. My machine will have the same internal IP no matter what.

[Xenaflux]

OK, I will try that as well.....tomorrow.
Right now it's taking a bath and visiting the family to bring New Years wishes.
It's Thai new year here .

I will let you know what happened
