1) Is this the
right place for kernel internals questions and if not, what is?
(Refresher: I am relatively new to Linux kernel internals, but not kernels in
general. I’ve work on Unix and proprietary kernels, including my first
seven years as a professional developing a whole system from the ground up.) 2) I noticed
this morning that my GLMatrix screensaver is not working any more. I
poked around and found a whole bunch of others that stopped working, including
all the GLxxx screensavers. Any particular reason for this? The
matrix one worked a couple of days ago even when I had to futz with the screen
resolution and monitor resolution settings. 3) Now that I
mention it, I’m still having trouble running the display configuration settings
applet (it comes and asks for the root password, then disappears). What’s
up with that? This happens here at work and also at home…. 4) With but one
partition left to convert from NTFS to ext3, this one had to be the difficult
one. It’s my old C: partition from which I used to boot
Windows. Three times now, with cp and tar, it has hung somewhere in the
Documents and Settings directory and nothing brings it back. I managed to
hang my whole system with a bad shell function, but the reboot brought
everything back. I’ve gone to a directory-by-directory backup,
excluding the D&S until tonight, but I was wondering if anyone knows why
that one would be so difficult. I have no lack of disk space, so that’s
definitely not the problem. It stopped on one of the music player
settings databases, slowing down at each one progressively until it hit the one
that hung it, and these were hung for hours, so I’m pretty sure it wasn’t
just me being impatient. Probably OT…. Thanks. Mark
