Date : February 12, 2009
Affected: 2009.0
_______________________________________________________________________
Problem Description:
This update fixes several minor issues with drakxtools:
- it prevents the harddrake service to uselessly backup xorg.conf
when not configuring the driver
- it fixes a couple minor issues with diskdrake:
o stop crashing when udev & diskdrake are competing in order to
create a device node (#41832)
o --dav: handle davfs2 credentials in /etc/davfs2/secrets (#44190)
o --dav: handle https
o --nfs: handle host:/ (#44320)
o --smb: cifs must be used instead of smbfs (#42483)
o lookup for Samba master browsers too
- it fixes displaying various devices in their proper category in
the harddrake GUI
- it handle a couple of new network driver
- finish-install:
o show only installed 3D desktops
o adapt to new Xconfig::glx API (drak3d 1.21)
o use /dev/urandom instead of /dev/random to generate salt for
passwords (since reading on /dev/random can block boot process)
- prevent mdkapplet from crashing (#46477)
- smb: fix netbios name resolution (#42483, thanks to Derek Jennings)
