Folks, I've a new machine with a "writemaster" CDROM drive. When trying to install Debian 4.0 from iso image burnt to CD, it initially recognises the CD and starts the installation but fails at the screen where the CD drive is to be recognised (for continuing the installation). I've tried various module/device combos but all to no avail. I've looked about on Google but not come up with a working solution.

Has anybody else successfully uses this CDROM drive to install Debian, or have suggestions on how I can determine a working module/device combo. Please let me know if you need any further information.

As W-J, suggested elsewhere, I've tried a Ubuntu installation CD which does indeed
detect and use the CDROM okay (and the box cames with a working Fedora that has successfully written a CD).

Here's a snippet of the syslog:

(not 100% sure that's all the relevant info...). I also note that Debian fails to detect the (on-board) Ethernet connections. Perhaps it is as W-J suggested and this mobo is too modern (not sure where to check this)

any ideas? I've tried all I can think of and Googled endlessly...

Don't know where to look next?X

Thanks

Have you tried booting with a noapic option? Older machines sometime require that; Mine does, and it's a similar age to yours.

Confused? Frustrated?X

I've installed etch amd64 and i386 successfully many times. I'm not sure what the problem is but you might be able to use the daily install from testing to get going. You can get the it from here..

http://cdimage.debian.org/cdimage/daily-builds/daily/arch-latest/i386/iso-cd/

If you get the businesscard iso and boot it in expert mode it will prompt you if you want to install stable, testing or unstable. I would try to install stable and if your successful run "apt-cdrom add" for your cd or dvd images after you boot and install whatever else you want.

Do you need help?X

That image contains nothing but the installer, you need to have an active network connection to install with it.

Good luck.. :)

TBH, it doesn't appear that your machine is getting far enough into the boot sequence for this to be an issue.

Having said that, I'm no expert, so don't quote me on it.

Dear Debian user,

I am having this problem with the GTK+ file dialogs that whenever I try to save a file in any GTK+ based applications, it just keeps doing something and effectively hangs. Is someone else facing the same problem?

I am on sid, by the way.
libgtk2.0-0 version 2.10.13-1

Thanks!

Right. The window becomes unusable, I am unable to regain control over the application, and am forced to kill it. The hard disk shows some activity initially, then the process uses the processor time sporadically increases and decreases for that application if I leave it running. Observed using top.

I can't describe it better. Sorry if this doesn't help.

It partially seems to work for me.

I entered a file name and an example TFN on the first screen, and it lets me get into the other screen where I see Michael D'Ascenzo introducing the program. I've visited these pages "Our commitment to you," "Welcome," "Getting around etax" and "Using the navigator in etax."

I'm running under this software:
Debian 3.1 i386
wine 0.0.200503
wine-utils 0.0.200503

(I'm not Australian.)

You *know* that if all you say is "it just keeps doing something and effectively hangs", you'll get fussed at for sending a useless message.
