Re: [expert] Evolution (Free/Busy information) problem
I've never used this software, but this could be with how the RPM was compiled for Mandrake. What I suggest you do, is back up all the data you've created to date, uninstall the RPM, download the source from their webpage, then compile and install the software. If you run into the same problem, the problem could be the software, it could still be something with Mandrake. But that's where I'd start. Try that avenue, and let us know!

[expert] Failing - first Boot after installation of Mdk 8.2beta2 for Power PCon Mac TiBook
I've installed Mandrake Linux PPC 8.2beta2 on my Mac TiBook. When I attempt to start up it refuses to boot the newly installed Linux. Here's what happens: 1) I startup with the chime, goes into the open-firmware multi-os program tasks whether I want to boot from the CD, MacOS, Linux, or Open-Firmware. I answer "l" for Linux (all the other options work fine, "l" is the only one that has problems) 2) It goes into the "welcome to... ... boot:" dialog. If I hit tab I get two options, one is "linux", the other is "rescue" or something like that. I type "linux" or hit the C/R key. 3) It says "hd:10/vmlinuz-2.4.18-6mdk: Unknown or corrupt filesystem" Now, /dev/hda10 is the "Apple_Boot" partition that I configured for "/boot". It's 80MB in size. I tried it with 1MB and the installation partition section died with a "premature eof", presumably trying to write stuff to the /boot partition. I can do a rescue boot from the CD, and all the partitions look OK. The /boot partition has a file called vmlinuz-2.4.18-6mdk Anybody got any clues?

If the rpm was a virus package, reloading the system is the only way to go because rpm runs as root, and your whole system (theoretically) could be infected. It is VERY difficult to write successful viruses for linux, but it is possible. So you erred on the side of caution. Nothing is wrong with that; it is better than erring on the side of risk. Usually I do the old-fashioned thing of downloading the packages, comparing the md5sums, then installing if I have a "GO". My IP and domain are known and someone malicious could try to twist the ends of my TCP connections to the internet and become a man-in-the-middle. libnids, libnet and libpcap and a few cents worth of code is all it takes. So far, I have not noticed any such attacks. Most likely you could have done fine by redowning the gpg and forcing it over the bad one, but gpg is one I would never, ever take the slightest chance with, because it is the basis of secure communications.

It's a small city within itself - no joke. I went to the Office XP launch wearing my peguin ball cap and got some of the strangest looks; but anyway, I really cannot see a time when M$ won't be there - simply because of the different markets they are already in. I believe it was fisher-price that was advertising a new toy last few months with "microsoft technology"; some kind of embedded system. Not to say that Linux isn't in just as many, if not more, diverse places - it's just that BG has managed to make in roads into quite a few places which at least I didn't think he could. This last year, my daughter came home from public school (2nd grade) with her milk carton from the cafeteria at school still in hand; on the side of the milk carton was an advertisement for WindowsXP! Among other things, it said "download a copy today". This guy has no shame, and people keep accepting his company's crap as if there were no other option. I've recently been consulting my co-workers saying if you really are interested in simplicity, why not buy a Mac? They are far more reliable than intel hardware and they don't crash. I've got an old G3 blue and white and it handles my scanner, smart media reader, prints to my linux print server, kids play their school software on it, etc... I never have the problems that windows gives me. I've offered to setup linux for a few people for servers and stuff, but they are still a little nervous that if something happens, they won't be able to fix it - but at least people are considering it. I'm starting to babble, but I agree, I too would like to see the Redmond ship sink.

Re: [expert] MDK 82 does not power system off
Do you know how the power-down thing works? I'd like to diagnose the problem, isolate just what tells the motherboard to cut power, but I can't find information about it anywhere. I don't THINK any processes or mounts are hanging and keeping it running. I can't find a shutdown log. The drives most certainly spin down once the Power Down message appears. It's strange because dual-booting into Win2K does the same thing (power down drives but leave mb running).

Unfortunately, in this case, it was invoking supermount (3/15/02 version) which created the bad fstab entries to begin with! I don't know why that occurred. However I manually changed the contents of FSTAB. What I have now noticed, however is that the errors occur only when I click on the desktop icons for the CDs as user (the desktop icons appear to work when logged in as root). Creating new icons as user seems to make no difference. However, if I simply open konqueror and click on /mnt/cdrom, etc., after inserting a CD, konqueror correctly displays the contents of the CD. So it appears that supermount itself is working correctly. George Want to buy your Pack or Services from MandrakeSoft? Go to http://www.mandrakestore.com
Re: [expert] Internet Connection Sharing
No, I saw this kind of thing when I was setting up my Linux box to serve as a masquerading gateway for my LAN (which had a Win98 machine on it) also. The IP address that windows is getting below is a default address that Windows sets when it can't get an address via DHCP. I had a lot of trouble getting networking to work properly. Unfortunately, I cannot remember what I did to correct the problem. However, it may have something to do with the fact that I'm not using the rc.firewall scripts that were generated by draknet (which surpisingly didn't seem too secure to me for *any* internet access). FYI, you can often get more info on Win98 DHCP configuration by running winipcfg. J.

[expert] file removal or not??
Experts, I installed 8.0 and did an package up last night, the next morning when I checked the monitor, I noticed that a update had a security problem and gave the message md5sum for gpg was tampered with! possible back door on system.. words are not exact but to this effect! Now my question,if a security package which has been tampered with is loaded onto you system, do you A: uninstall the rpm and all the deps or B: re-load the whole system?? I was forced to reload the whole system because removing gpg pulls a lot of deps and in the end I could not re-load anypackages! hence for the total reload. Is there an easier way to deal with this type of problem, if so where can I go to read about it in more depth. Sincerely, Gavin Want to buy your Pack or Services from MandrakeSoft?

This is a bit of hack that I had to start using about the time devfs hit, tho
the connection wasn't confirmed. I found this script when I was googling
around for a fix for the same thing. The instructions are included, and
even if you get an error during compiling, just try it anyway. I can't
recall what the error is, but it didn't effect the scripts usefulness.
[s@tuxmachine]:s$ cat /object5/archives/memset.c
/* This is (c)2001 Gerald Britton <[EMAIL PROTECTED]>
* * Taken from emu10k1-devel mailing list
* * Compile with: gcc -shared -o memset.so memset.c
* * Copy resultant memset.so to quake3 directory
* * Then run: LD_PRELOAD=./memset.so ./quake3.x86
* */
void *memset(void *s, int c, int n)
{
char *p = s;
while (n--)
*p++ = c;
return s;
}
-
then I made up a little bash script to preload it for me (xgamma stuff is to
lighten screen).
[s@tuxmachine]:s$ cat quake3.sh
#!bin/sh
xgamma -gamma 2.0
cd /usr/local/games/quake3 && LD_PRELOAD=./memset.so ./quake3.x86
xgamma -gamma 1.0
exit 0

[expert] Evolution (Free/Busy information) problem
Hi Everyone, I have been running quite a number of tests on the Evolution that come with Mandrake 8.2, It's a very nice E-mail come groupware package.. but the one in Mandrake seems to have a bug.. that is when in the Calendar part, then using the function (Free/Busy information), no matter how one tries to use that function, all it does is sends blank summaries.. and this is a rather large problem with that Evolution.. I mean it's impossible to populate other users Calendars without this function working probably.. I have checked the mailing list archives on the Ximian site, and it has not been a reported problem.. All I can think of is the problem lies with Evolution that come with Mandrake. Cheers Mark Want to buy your Pack or Services from MandrakeSoft? Go to http://www.mandrakestore.com
Re: [expert] Internet Connection Sharing
Hi Brian, thanks for the responce, the ipconfig output reads ip 169.254.117.142 subnet mask: 255.255.0.0 and pinging results in host unreachable i have also tried to set an ip address and gateway manually on the win98 machine to no avail , the dhcpd.conf for machine #1 gives a subnet of 255.255.255.0 and ip's of 192.168.0.16-253. machine #3 has a ip 192.168.0.16 thanks again brian where do you think the problem lies? regs jason On Sunday 31 March 2002 20:52, you wrote: > Jason, > > I think we need to go back to first principles here as of course if > everything really was the same as before - it would work!

[expert] Internet Connection Sharing
Hi crash testers this is I hope a simple problem but one that has eluded me for days I have 3 machines on my network 1: mandrake 8.0 that i have been using as a router and workstation 2: win98 (1st addition) machine 3: compaq laptop mdk8.0 recently i have done a clean install on the No1 machine and now the win 98 machine refuses to share the internet connection ,it seems as though it doesn't want to talk to the MDK. I have gone through the internet connection sharing wizard in mdk ,(this has worked flawlessly on other occasions) using etherape i can see some stuff going on between win98 & workgroup so I can rule out a hardware problem. IE gets as far as "detecting proxy settings" and then gives me the old cannot find server page . the laptop is surfing fine ,picking up an ip address but this winblows machine jst doesn't want to play . this has me stumped i have done every thing the same as I did last install the only new thing is the lappy but surely this couldn't be stuffing things up . any suggestions would be much appreciated . regs jason Want to buy your Pack or Services from MandrakeSoft?
