Some users have encountered problems -installing or using MandrakeMove due to specific configuration -situations that we did not have an opportunity to fully test. -Please use the patches or recommendations included below for each -scenario if it applies to you.

- -

Note on using Patches: To use any of -the patch.pl patches that are noted below, you must copy the -appropriate patch onto a floppy disk, with the name patch.pl. -Then you can boot off of your CD-ROM with the "linux patch" -command at the boot prompt (obtained by pressing F1 at the splash -screen), and making sure that the floppy containing the patch is -in the floppy disk drive.

- - -Error scenario: no program seem to see my webcam, whereas on -regular Mandrake 9.2 it works perfectly (may apply to other USB -devices as well). - -
Why: "hotplug" automatic loading of drivers is disabled due to a -bug on our side. - -
Solution: add the following to the last line of -/etc/rc.d/rc.local : -

-sysctl -w kernel.hotplug=/sbin/hotplug
-
-and be sure to plug your webcam after boot and KDE startup is -finished, not before booting. - -
Solution for download version: run the following -command in a console at the end of KDE startup, and then plug in -your webcam: -
-sysctl -w kernel.hotplug=/sbin/hotplug
