I've installed internet on my mandrake 10.1, and my mouse freezes while loading a website.
I can't do anything with the mouse, and I can't continue surfing at all! no page would load! even with wget from terminal, but cable-status is on.
anyways, I have to restart any time this happens, but I can't actually restart, I click on ALT + CRTL + DEL and click on restart with keyboard, but it's going black screen then I have to press the "RESET" key to manually reset... even if I've waited 1 hour it would have still been a black screen.
I've searched anywhere and couldn't find clues on how to solve this.
give us some more details :
What's your kernel version?
What's your computer (output of "lspci" might help)
What kind of mouse are you using (USB, ps2? Some of the 3 dozen buttons modern mouse??)
Do you have any logs to give us? (try "dmesg > /ERROR.txt when it crashes, then post this here)
By the way, try to give your posts a name a bit more descriptive than "Need help with mandrake", we all know you need help, it would help better to know about _what_

hey,
I've managed to save the error log on the linux partition and somehow can't get root access on K.D.E so I need to copy the error log manually but somehow this commend is wrong, I hope you'll see it to tell me what to change
Originally posted by Half_Elf if you are not root, you probably can't write on your windows partition unless you did a "su" first.
I did that... but somehow my CP was wrong :S
anyways, I re installed today, and after I installed Firefox 1.6 the problems seems to pop up first, I will try once more without installing FF (using Konquoror) and if that fails i'm screwed I guess... but I Will try to post the error log, shortly.
I've reinstalled, again.
and it seems like the problems occers aswell in Konqouror a little bit less, but still, I don;t think the Browser was the issue.

I have this problem using Firefox 1.6 on Mandriva 2005.1 (though mine just freezes for 10 or more seconds and then works again after that). I am not sure whats causing this problem (something about firefox and X maybe), but I will try and find out today and then post back later.
first I will open the connection then Kopete then through a friend then I log in this lame xp then I get the file I've sent and I upload... pure genius huh?
:]]
I think I'm gonna move to Fedora untill I will see a solution for this problem cause I cannot stay without internet in my OS and I don't wanna go back to xp :S
if the problem occurs in Fedora aswell I think I will jump of the builiding
lol j/k.
