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
+
