Re: [expert] Stupid MySQL question
tables.sql, I'll bet, is a set of SQL instructions that will set up a
database and all its tables. You tell the mysql client program to read the
file and run everything in it.
first, in the MySQL manual read the part about adding users and setting an
admin password.
set up a user that the web server to connect to the database as.
you'll have to get the specifics form the manual but here's my cheat sheet:
log into the mysql client program as 'root':
#mysql mysql -u root -p
grant insert, select, delete, update on adatabase.* to webuser@localhost;
UPDATE user SET password=PASSWORD('yourpassword') where user = 'webuser';
next from the command line cd to the directory that holds tables.sql
then run:
#mysqladmin create tables
#mysql tables tables.sql -u username --password=userpassword
where "tables" is the name of the database you are creating (I'm guessing
based on the filename)
the first line makes the database, the second tells the mysql client program
to execute the SQL commands in "tables.sql" as a particular user with a
particular password.
hopefully this will get you started.
good luck,
Gavin

Re: [expert] ATT cable modem
Anthony, try installing the dhcpcd (note the extra 'cd') rpms from the mandrake installation cd or elsewhere. Use: "dhcpcd -h cXXX-a" from an su terminal. This should set eth0 to use dhcp ATT style. It will hang up for a moment as it talks to the @home dhcp server, but wait until the prompt comes up and ping your 'static" ip to check it. You should pretty much wipe out all your configs for eth0(write them down in case this doesn't work) from netconf. You can view all the info dhcpcd collects and uses in /etc/dhcpc/dhcpcd-eth0.info. linuxconf hasn't been very nice to me in setting this up. This works for connecting the cable modem to a Davicom 9102 NIC and Linksys LNE100TX NIC. An odd occurrenc that has occured on the system I connect using the Davicom 9102 NIC is that in linuxconf, adapter 1 and 2 have identical configurations...dhcp, ip is blank netmask=255.255.255.0, dev=eth0, mod=dmfe) and for some reason they both keep coming back like that post-boot after entering "dhcpcd -h cXXX-a" It works so I'm not attempting to fix it...but if anyone has insight on why this occurs...let's hear it!

Re: [expert] [Fwd: Updating ML and Kernel]
Praedor or any one else who has knowledge and conversation with the holy kernel: Maybe you can help me understand this a little better. I got past all the hurdles and got to the make xconfig step in buildkernel. Now here's my dilemma...I have a C-Media chipset (8738am) which is supported in Mandrake 7.1 iso image. The support is marked EXPERIMENTAL which is not a problem for the CD install. I have no trouble with it as long as I use the eSound daemon instead of OSS to play back mp3 files. However, when checking off my xconfig I come to the sound card menu and C-Media is locked out of selection. Does this mean that I need to add the proper include, .o files, etc from my previous source set (2.2.15) for make xconfig to allow the C-Media support to be selected? 2.2.16 installs by RPM with little difficulty and no impact on my system, but I'd like to try 2.2.17 in any case. Do I need the headers for 2.2.17 for this to work correctly? R'ingTFM is not doing me any good since I'm doing that now for this C-Media support. The difference between the source RPM's, the tarballs, and the bz2 files has me in a little mental knot. If there is a headers file for 2.2.17, where can I find that?

You then just go down the nice list of options and modules you want in your kernel. When done, select "save and exit" and that is that. The kernel and all the proper modules are compiled and installed. A proper entry is made to your lilo.conf, and all the appropriate files and symlinks are produced in your boot directory. Once done, run lilo to install the new conf, reboot to try your new kernel. Simple, and the kernel is customized to YOUR specifications for YOUR system. Real nice.

Re: [expert] [Fwd: Updating ML and Kernel]
The only problem that I see with this (maybe buildkernel solves this, which is what I want to find out) is pathces made to the kernel. Mandkake ships with a kernel patched, patched, patched, compiled to support a lot of features only available on the 2.3.x and 2.4.0 text official sources by backporting. Does buildkernel take patching into account in any way. For example, mandrake supports the ov511 webcam chip on the Creative Webcam III. The page for this driver only lists patches aviable for 2.3.x, no 2.2.x !! The only machines I have that I would build kernels for are the ones with new hardware, thus needing patches (ide patch for example) until 2.4.0 comes out. Praedor Tempus wrote: mrweb wrote: Praedor Tempus wrote: I would like to strongly advocate dispensing with doing an rpm install of kernels and, instead, download the buildkernel rpm and use that.

Your description is so good I feel as if I already have a familiarity with buildkernel, thanks again. A few more things... I have had several kernels I have built via buildkernel on my system, each with different settings/features. I can test them each out and then make a determination which one I want to keep, deleting the rest (all entries in /boot that refer to the kernel I am removing, including any symlinks that point to the kernel I am removing). I always keep an rpm-installed kernel and all it's stuff in /boot as well (usually the kernel that was installed during my initial system install - right now that is kernel-2.2.14 from Mandrake 7.0). Don't remove anything having to do with the rpm kernel, doing so tends to screw up your system even though you have a new, home-built kernel installed and running. You can get around this but it does require a bit of homework and knowledge on your part. Anyway, one thing to keep in mind after you have a kernel built and installed via buildkernel: it is not an rpm install so nothing about it shows up in your rpm database. What this means is that whenever you download an app that has dependencies like "kernel-headers" or "kernel-source", YOU CAN IGNORE THIS and just install it anyway using the --nodeps switch. The headers and source exist, from your buildkernel build, but they do not show up in your rpm database. This doesn't hurt anything, it is simply something to keep in mind when installing future rpms. They will work anyway, despite the dependency, because everything that rpm needs from the kernel is there. Just don't be upset, shocked, or dismayed that some rpm says it needs kernel-headers, kernel-source, etc. Ignore it and do not install the kernel-headers or kernel-source rpms after the fact. You will be overwriting the same stuff that buildkernel and the kernel source bzip or gzip file deposited on your system (in the correct locations too) for no good reason. You may also dick up your new kernel, though of this I am not certain.

I made it through kernelbuild...some of the return messages were difficult to understand...but everything seemed to work. No "real" error messages or missing components(development install of Mandrake 7.1). Tells me that bzImage-2.2.17-... is in /boot. Upon rebooting. 2.2.15 is still the kernel and the only kernel to load. The 2.2.17 kernel is nowhere to be found. So, just to experiement, I type "make install" in usr/src/2.2.17...puts the kernel into place. Reboot and 2.2.17 lives! But...it finds 8 scsi drives(I only have an ATAPI/IDE CD-R/RW that needs any scsi support) and refuses to identify my NIC's. How do I get my kernel source to include all the "drivers" and modules that I have for 2.2.15 so that when I config, they are active for selection? I guessing this is where I am falling short...I can potentially identify everthing I'll need from the 2.2.15 source, but I need to know if this is going in the right direction or am I heading for yet another failed kernelbuild??? Can I re-use the config file from 2.2.15 in some way in order avoid make xconfig again?

The difference between the source RPM's, the tarballs, and the bz2 files has me in a little mental knot. If there is a headers file for 2.2.17, where can I find that? If you consider these newbie questions, sorry, but I don't think they are questions that a newbie can possibly answer... On Sat, 07 Oct 2000, you wrote: I would like to strongly advocate dispensing with doing an rpm install of kernels and, instead, download the buildkernel rpm and use that. It is a wonderful app that makes building your own kernel painless and simple. You run "buildkernel --help" to get a list of all the options (I usually use "buildkernel --BKBUILDTYPE=bzImage --HOSTTYPE=i386" and sometimes, I even indicate the kernel with --BKKERNELTOBUILD=2.2.17). It takes it from there. First, it looks at your system, checks to make sure you have enough harddrive space available, removes any pre-existing kernel source (not the tarball), automatically connects and downloads the latest kernel or the specific version you specify (see above with --BKKERNELTOBUILD). It downloads the kernel, with hashmarks to indicate progress. It then decompresses it and starts xconfig (or you can specify another config type). You then just go down the nice list of options and modules you want in your kernel. When done, select "save and exit" and that is that. The kernel and all the proper modules are compiled and installed. A proper entry is made to your lilo.conf, and all the appropriate files and symlinks are produced in your boot directory. Once done, run lilo to install the new conf, reboot to try your new kernel. Simple, and the kernel is customized to YOUR specifications for YOUR system. Real nice. I have been doing it this way since RedHat 5.0. It is the only way to go. praedor Content-Type: text/plain; name="message.footer" Content-Transfer-Encoding: 8bit Content-Description: -- _ Logos: The Word of the Aeon - "I shall endure for all time" -Frater Perdurabo- _ [EMAIL PROTECTED] _ --- -- _ Logos: The Word of the Aeon - "I shall endure for all time" -Frater Perdurabo- _ [EMAIL PROTECTED] _ Keep in touch with http://mandrakeforum.com: Subscribe the "[EMAIL

[expert] ML 7.2 - When?
Ok. We know that the KDE 2 CVS directory is read-only since last monday (then the kde2 in the CVS will be the kde2 final unless some showstopper happens), the kernel 2.4 is delayed another 2 months, and cooker is (i think) ready. So, when can we expect the ML 7.2 ISO to be ready now that there are no chains holding it back?

Re: [expert] CD Burner
No. Sorry, I didn't read ALL of the post. Adding the line to /etc/conf.modules forces the kernel to use the ide-scsi drivers for the device, but does not mount the device as a file system. Normally there is no reason (AFAIK) to have both devices scsi, so you would leave the ATAPI support in, and get it to drive the cdrom that way. In the end, any device that holds a filesystem (network, removable, local) needs to have the file system mounted. You should have two directories in /mnt (normally cdrom and cdrom2, but you can make cdrw or whatever you like) each with their own entry in /etc/fstab. btw, ide-scsi IS in the mandrake default kernels, I only use ditribution-standard kernels on my home machine since I reinstall it quite often to check different distros out, and since it multiboots to NT and 98, I don't have enough space to keep kernel source lying around. As I was saying, I have a CD-RW on this machine, and Mandrake 7.1 picks it up during install and it works immediately, Redhat requires you to add the line to /etc/conf.modules, and adding the drive after Mandrake 7.1 installation would also require this.

Re: [expert] [Fwd: Updating ML and Kernel]
Buildkernel defaults to downloading from kernel.us.org (not sure about the the actual web address). It defaults to downloading the latest stable kernel. I haven't paid attention to the patches as you mention because I don't have any of the video/cams you mention. If you select to get prompted for Code maturity level options, you may well find that your video gear is selectable, if not by default. The latest kernel usually contains all the patches provided prior to its packaging. You can give it a shot. Building a kernel this way wont dick up your present system. You can boot up the new-built kernel, test it, and if it isn't working for you, reboot to your working kernel and try again or go with mandrake kernel rpms. praedor Buchan Milne wrote: The only problem that I see with this (maybe buildkernel solves this, which is what I want to find out) is pathces made to the kernel. Mandkake ships with a kernel patched, patched, patched, compiled to support a lot of features only available on the 2.3.x and 2.4.0 text official sources by backporting. Does buildkernel take patching into account in any way. For example, mandrake supports the ov511 webcam chip on the Creative Webcam III. The page for this driver only lists patches aviable for 2.3.x, no 2.2.x !!

Re: [expert] Build kernel???
The server may well be overloaded. It defaults to looking at one specific server. This too is changeable if you wish. If you do a "buildkernel --help" you will end up with a list of the possible options. Among the options, set by a commandline switch, is the server from which you get your kernel. You could try changing it to another kernel mirror. I have, sometimes, also run into a problem if I do not indicate a specific kernel (don't know why, it should default to downloading the latest stable), In such a case, it will connect but then report that it couldn't find a kernel, or some such. Getting around that is simple: the latest stable kernel, still, is 2.2.17. All you need to do is add the switch --BKKERNELTOBUILD=2.2.17 and it will then download the proper kernel. good luck.

Re: [expert] Poor display on Laptop
I have a thinkpad 1412 with celeron 333 and neomagic magicmedia card. I installed mandrake 7.0 on it. The way I found the video card was in running XF86Setup. There is a listing for a neomagic video card and for a laptop/lcd screen. I selected those and made sure the video modes were ordered as I desired, with the default I desired (800x600) and that was that. Works. praedor Don wrote: Both 7.0-2 and 7.1 versions run great on my LapTop thinkpad with the NeoMagic graphics card installed.

[expert] Some more on inability to build XFree86-4.0.1
I have been totally unable to build XFree86-4.0.1-23 or -24mdk.src.rpm. It almost completes, getting to the point of doing all the "finding rpm-requires" and "finding rpm provides" messages that usually go hand-in-hand with binary rpm writing. Instead, it gets to a point and just...stops. No error messages: Processing files: XFree86-server-4.0.1-24mdk Finding Provides: (using /usr/lib/rpm/find-provides)...

[expert] Apache 1.3.12-12mdk log writes are *very* lazy
Messages aren't flushed to the access_log until apache is shut down nicely via "httpd stop". Also, when they are flushed, they are not in chronological order.

[expert] KDE 1.99
I'm trying to assemble all files needed to do an upgrade from 1.1.2 to 1.99 with no unsatisfied dependencies, under X 3.3.6. Kde-multimedia requires libXaw.so.7 which comes from X 4.01. Can this particular file be extracted from the rpm and copied into the required location? Just sounds too simple to actually work. begin:vcard n:Piety;Bill x-mozilla-html:FALSE adr:;; version:2.1 email;internet:[EMAIL PROTECTED] x-mozilla-cpt:;0 fn:Bill Piety end:vcard Keep in touch with http://mandrakeforum.com: Subscribe the "[EMAIL PROTECTED]" mailing list.
[expert] Odd note: Some more on inability to build XFree86-4.0.1
I did a little experiment. I took the Mandrake XFree86-4.spec file from the Mandrake XFree86-4.0.1-24mdk.src.rpm and used it to replace the Redhat XFree86.spec file that comes with the Redhat XFree86-4.0.2- 1.src.rpm. I then did an "rpm -bb XFree86-4.spec" using the Redhat source. Guess what happens...the build fails JUST like with the Mandrake src.rpm, at the same spot with the same messages (listed below). This is DIFFERENT than where the build dies using the Redhat spec file, which does die a similar death, just at a slightly different timepoint. There IS something "not right" with some part of either Mandrake or the source itself. There are NO missing dependencies. None. There is nothing odd about my system. All I am trying to do is build the friggin' XFree86-4 source. This is the ONLY src.rpm that I cannot successfully build. The fact that there are NO errors anywhere indicates something wrong with the entire rpm or rpm-build system, OR something is wrong with the source, be it an Imakefile or whatever. If there is something missing, then it should be detected at the beginning during the configure process OR if there is a missing dependency, rpm should detect that. Since it doesn't, there is a real flaw. praedor Praedor Tempus wrote: I have been totally unable to build XFree86-4.0.1-23 or -24mdk.src.rpm.
