I am running debian-sarge, with the 2.6 kernal. I've installed samba, and it connected just fine to my Windows LAN, and I can mount my Windows drives (win2k), copy files back and forth, etc. Works like a charm.
Except... If I leave a Windows drive mounted, and the computer goes to sleep, all kinds of problems result. The first time it happened, I completely lost the task bar. Nothing was left but a blank panel all the way across the screen. I managed to open a command window from the desktop, but as soon as I minimized it, it too disappeared. After trying various other things to recover, I finally did a hard reboot, then had to manually do a chdsk on all the drives. Eventually eveything came back up, and I vowed never to leave a Windows drive mounted on Samba again. Yeah. Best laid plans... I did it again a couple of nights ago. After I woke the computer, the mouse cursor was frozen on the screen. Using keyboard commands, I ended the session and logged back in, but that didn't do anything but reset the computer clock back 5 hours. ?!? So I rebooted, and got a command prompt instead of the desktop. There were no glaring errors that I could see during startup, but I'm very new to Linux and don't know where to look. I'm guessing the output of the startup is saved somewhere, but I don't know where to find that, either. And these problems ~only~ happen when I have Samba running, and have a Windows drive mounted. So, aside from this being an obvious bug, can anyone help me recover so I can get back my desktop (KDE)? Thanks! Mitch __________________________________________________ Do You Yahoo!? Tired of spam?
