Ah, problem solved - I had to create a mount-point (empty directory) named "/media/cdrom"! Now it mounts all CD's and DVD's I have tried.

I've been trying out Mepis 11.9.92, 64 bit on a Dell N5030 that is new to me. The only thing I've been scratching my head over is a problem with wired networking. The wired connection shuts down after a few minutes with rebooting being the only solution.I found https://bugzilla.kernel.org/show_bug.cgi?id=54021 that should fix this issue. I thought I' bring it up so the patch could possibly be incorporated for all. I've been using Debian for a few years, since I downloaded Rex with a modem, so I've compiled a few kernels. I've been using Mepis on a couple of machines over the years and it's by far my favorite distro. Please keep it up.

Thanks,

Rob

Running M12 11.9.92 plain vanilla, google-chrome-stable has stopped working. (Version: 31.0.1650.57-1)

Get the following when I execute from terminal: I have the standard M12 repositories for debian enabled: They get me to libnss3 Version: 2:3.14.2-1...so that appears to be the problem.

What are my options to get to libnss 3.14.3? Anybody else seeing this?

Note: It's also strange that neither apt-get or aptitude show the problem as a missing dependency, no?

I think the "2:" epoch number for Warren's libnss3 & libnss3-1d packages is causing the problem. It makes apt think that the "2:3.14.2-1" version fulfills the libnss3 (>= 3.14.3) dependency.

Try installing the Wheezy version of libnss3 & libnss3-1d (Wheezy is currently at version 2:3.14.5-1)

Try installing the Wheezy version of libnss3 & libnss3-1d (Wheezy is currently at version 2:3.14.5-1)

Code: Select all

apt-get install libnss3 libnss3-1d -t wheezy

Kent, you are amazing. Nice catch!!

libnss3 now at Version: 2:3.14.5-1 AND google-chrome-stable working fine...

Many thanks,

New install and had to perform this to get google to work...
beta: Mepis 64 bit - Google-chrome Version 31.0.1650.63
All is well now...

As an update to my previous post regarding wired networking, there has been a change in my machine.

Sometime late this week, I ran an update. I'm not sure which one since I'm maintaining 3 Linux machines with different distro's on them.

After the update, my wired networking works great, but my wi-fi has been disabled. There is a message regarding wireless being disable by hardware and the wireless option can't be checked under the networking interface widget. The USB wireless adapter is also recognized but hardware disabled.

I haven't been able to much digging yet, but if anyone has any thoughts, I'd appreciate it.

Uname -a returns this: Linux kadath 3.9-1-mepis64 #1 SMP MEPIS 3.9.8-1 x86_64 GNU/Linux.

Thanks,

Rob

Can you try the 3.10 kernel in wheezy-backports, or the 3.12 Liquorix kernel in the testing CR?

Doh. The F key, wireless switch had turned it off. Maybe I fat fingered something, because I've never used any of them on purpose. I don't have a clue, but it's back working now. Thanks for the help.

Merry Christmas,

Rob

I was going to suggest that, but I thought, "Nah! Couldn't be."-)
