where did you find out 2.6.9 is being released? kernel.org has nothing new, i've even browsed the files.
and what do you mean by "the 2.4 naming convention" ?

ghostwalker · 2004-10-16 09:19:25

It is in a odd place....They are trying the 2.4 naming convention....

But the drivers nvidia does not work , it is strange :S

You need the patch that is on the nvidia forum or go over to gentoo's forum and get it there. Once patched it will work.

soniX · 2004-10-17 21:33:48

according the the comments in OSNEWS there was no bug that broke CD audio burning in 2.6.8 so it's not 'fixed' in 2.6.9.

They say sth about SUID in the cdrecord, well I'm not sure afterall I run k3b as sudo

anyone knows better on this?
will it burn ok CD audio now? {as it used to in <2.6.8}

it work's great so far,
hope they fixed most/all of the problems with the last one...

paranoos · 2004-10-19 18:29:39
