[expert] can't start xfree86 3.3.5
Hi, I just installed xfree86 3.3.5 via rpms. I used xf86config to configure. Everything seemed to go fine. But then, when I did startx, I got the error: /usr/X11R6/bin/Xwrapper: can't resolve symbol '__xstat' _X11TranSocketUNIXConnect: Can't connect: errno: = 111 giving up. xinit: Connection refused (errno 111): unable to connect to X server xinit: No such process (errno 3): Server error. X did not start up. So I went back to xfree86 3.3.3.3. I'm running Mandrake 5.3 smp kernel 2.2.9. Why am I unable to run xfree86 3.3.5? Thanks, Hidong
Re: [expert] New Kernel
Felipe Almeida wrote: Hi! I updated my old kernel (2.2.5) to a new kernel (2.2.12). But I lost my sound modules. As a matter of fact, in the make xconfig oe make menuconfig it didn´t has the option to my soundcard. Just a few were available. Then I copied the modules I needed from the old kernel and ran insmod. It said that the kernel module was older then the actual kernel. Then I ran insmod again if the -f option to force the older modules but then it showed a message like ¨unknown..¨ and a lot of numbers. Is there a new module for the new kernel? What did I wrong? Hoe can I solve this problem? The same message appeared to me when I tried to load the module epat.o which is necesary for the HP CD-R writer. This module I took from my new kernel. I choosed it from the kernel configuration. Something wierd is happenind here Thank you!! Felipe Almeida Hi, Felipe, What kind of sound card do you have? When you ran 'make xconfig' for the kernel configuration, did you choose support for OSS sound modules? The Sound Blaster modules can be found in there. Good luck, Hidong
Re: [expert] access to remote tape drive
Sylvain GIL wrote: Sorry, my reply was in french, i must be tired :) Here is the translation : Hi, Default configuration of nfs server is to do "root squashing". It means that the uid of root is squashed to nobody when root try to acces to a nfs volume. If "nobody" is not allowed to access the volume, the server will reply "permission is denied". You can disable this security by adding the no_root_squash parameter. For more information, see man exports Sorry again for my poor english. -- Sylvain GIL - [EMAIL PROTECTED] [EMAIL PROTECTED] Hi, Sylvain, Thanks for the tip. The computer on which the tape drive is installed is called ripley. I edited ripley's /etc/exports to include the line: /dev/st0weaver(rw,root_no_squash) so that weaver's root could access ripley's tape drive. I'm still getting the permission denied error. Is this the right syntax for root_no_squash? Thanks, Hidong

How can I setup the network card after the original setup has already been completed? I was looking at insmod...but that seemed to have hung my system (again). Any ideas? The mod I tried to install was eepro.o Thanks! Jason Hi, Jason, We have two Linux machines running Mandrake 5.3 with Intel EtherExpress Pro/100 cards. We installed these cards after recompiling a 2.2.9 kernel with EEPro100 support, which is actually a default setting in the kernel config options. Then we used Network Configurator in the Control Panel to configure the cards. Good luck, Hidong

This is the only scsi device in the system, so I've set the active termination jumper. The drive and its correct U2W drives DO NOT have active termination as far as I have seen or heard. Make sure that the U2W *cable* you are using has built-in termination. The terminator should look like a half-sized match box, usually colored black. -- Yusry Harfuddin [[EMAIL PROTECTED]] Linux rulez, Windoze sucks. Hi, Yusry and Gary, Thanks for the tip. It was the cable. The system came with a regular uw cable instead of a termnitaed u2w cable. I got the proper cable and completed the installation. Thanks again! Hidong
[expert] installation on ibm dghs18v
Hi, I'm trying to install Mandrake 5.3 on a new machine: dual pii 350 512 mb ram asus p2b-ds 18 gb ibm dghs18v u2w scsi The 18 gb hard drive is the only hard drive on this system. I've set the scsi id of the drive to 0, and all of the scsi bios parameters look ok. This is the only scsi device in the system, so I've set the active termination jumper. The drive and its correct scsi id are detected by bios at startup. During the Mandrake installation, the on-board aic7890 scsi host is detected, as is the hard drive. But then when I try to partition the disk, the installation hangs. When I tried fdisk, I got no prompt for partitioning commands. Then I restarted the installation and tried to use disk druid. I got the error message: Bad Partition Table- The partition table on device sda is corrupted. To create new partitions it must be initialized, causing the loss of all data on this drive. Since there wasn't anything on the drive, I went ahead and initialized. But now it's been hanging for over twelve hours in "Setup filesystems". Is it formatting the drive? I know it'll take some time to format an 18 gb hard drive, but this does not seem normal. Also, there are jumpers on this drive for active termination and termination power enable. Should both of these be shorted? Right now, I've only shorted the active termination jumpers. Thanks for any suggestions, Hidong
