[expert] distorted sound for user only
I just got my sound working (thanks to who ever posted their modules.conf file for me) Now the problem I have is only root has clean sound. If I logout and in as user the sound is terribly distorted. I have the same options checked in KDE 2.0 on this clean install of MDK 7.2. The computer is a laptop. Toshiba 2805. As root all sounds are fine. CD audio, KDE events, even win wav's from 2k partition. As user none of these play cleanly. I also have an issue now that since I installed lilo, the machine won't boot. Actually that may not be entirely correct, as I can't tell. The system has no video at all upon bootup, unless I use my boot floppy. I really wanted to install GRUB but it wouldn't install for me for some reason. I used linuxconf to make lilo entries then ran lilo from console. How can I restore the 2k mbr so I can try again This will be a good learning experience for future installs. Any help appreciated, Brian D.

[expert] 7.2, alsa, and yamaha DS-XG
I currently bought a Toshiba S301 laptop. I have win2k on one partition and 7.2 on the other. I have most everything working great with the exception of sound and modem. I figure the Xircom modem in it is a winmodem of type. I am not so worried about that as I have ordered a 3Com pcmcia modem. My problem is getting the sound to work. It is a Yamaha DS-XG, mandrake chose to use Alsa, and that is fine. However all I get for sound is a continuous noise. What do I need to look at to get this card working? I have been to a great page on linuxnewbie.org, followed all the steps and ended with this. Before this I got some module dep. fail on bootup. Also, I chose not to install a bootloader since I didn't know if win 2k and linux would be happy with grub (preference) or lilo. If anyone could tell me if it will work if I install either one of these, that would be great too! Any help greatly appreciated, Brian D.

RE: [expert] 3Com US Robotics 56K faxmodem problems
Sounds like the new modem is acting just fine, and the problem may be within your lines. 115000 is what your modem will show provided you set it for max connection rate of 115000. Certain modems require in the init string W2 (for my Supra) to show the correct speed, and not the max set by your dialer. -Original Message- From: Jeff Malka [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED]] Sent: Wednesday, December 06, 2000 7:03 AM To: expert mandrake Subject: [expert] 3Com US Robotics 56K faxmodem problems I just purchased a 3Com US Robotics 56K Faxmodem (V.90 and x2).

It is not the phone lines because my old 33K modem (that it is supposed to replace) connects at 115000. Could it be that the v.90 and x2 protocols need to be installed under linux and have not?

[expert] linksys pcmcia 10/100 card probs
I just purchased a Sony Vaio notebook. Mandrake 7.2 works well with it. I do have a couple of problems with it though. I can't get sound to work. It is a ESS Maestro that doesn't work with my current kernel 2.2.17. Harddrake lists it as ES1987S. My main problem is the linksys 10/100 card. I purchased this due to the box stating it works well with linux (pcmpc100). However, if I set the Vaio up for a static ip address, I can not ping even my main Mandrake box this is cabled to. I am borrowing my gf's cable from her computer so I know the cable is good. And if I set the card for dhcp, and reboot, it gets an IP from somewhere. I am not running a dhcp server, and my gf's machine is statically set. my main box is 192.168.1.100, gf's is 192.168.1.110. I have tried to use her ip since I am using her cable right now, and it won't work. If I reboot my machine to win98, and set my Vaio to a static ip, I can ping the win box no probs. Any idea what is happening in linux, this is a first for me, and any help appreciated Brian D.

[expert] sony vaio issues
I have just purchased a Sony Vaio F630 notebook. It has Me on it and I guess it will have to stay as the modem seems to be a winmodem. My problems are that I can not get the sound to work at all. Harddrake complains of device or resource busy for anything I choose and I don't seem to have sndconfig installed. Also I can not get the Video to work quite correctly. The video is a Trident CyberBlade i7 3D Graphic accelerator w/shared mem. the Sound is ESS (I forget the rest of it off-hand) Can anyone help in getting video correct on here.

I have just ordered a Dell Inspiron 3800 laptop, and was curious if anyone knew what problems (if any) I will run into installing Mandrake 7.1 or .2 on it. This laptop has the external floppy drive (parallel port), will that be a problem with linux?

[expert] WinTV card in 7.2
I have installed the 2 CD set of Mandrake 7.2. The installation was flawless on my system with one exception, when I chose Microsoft Intellimouse, the mouse shot off the screen. So I just chose standard for installation, then let mouseconfig change it to Intellimouse and all was fine. My question is that I have a Hauppauge WinTV/Radio. In previous versions of Mandrake I loaded the needed modules through rc.local. Mandrake now detects the TV cards and sets them up. I think I need to pass a bttv variable as my video is not right. How do I do this is 7.2 since modules.conf loads the module, and states that everything after the module name will be ignored? Thanks, Brian D.

New versions of bttv module don't need arguments like vidmem=0xe80, for example, they are autodetected. The only parameter I pass through /etc/modules.conf is "options tuner type=3". I also use LM 7.2 with an haupauge PC TV RAVE PRO card (chipset bt848) : I have image, but no sound (it used to work without problem on LM7.1). Do you manage to get sound ?

RE: [expert] Is there ANYONE who installed KDE2 without any glitch on a MDK7.1?!

[...] Hello, I DID have problems installing and running KDE 2 on 7.1, but as it turns out it is not BECAUSE it was 7.1. I actually am running a bit of a hybrid 7.1/7.2/Cooker system. I upgraded a few packages too far (I know there was a reason at the time but cannot think of it now)...for instance, it appears that the version of libstdc++ you have is very important in regards to the menu rpm. I had a mismatch in the preferrred version (no warning messages, etc) for menu such that it was impossible to properly install qt2 or kde 2 rpms. Making menu and libstdc++ match by installing the rpms from 7.1 for each instead of 7.2 or Cooker corrected that problem. If you try to upgrade to menu and libstdc++ from Cooker or 7.2 you will have to upgrade a host of other rpms too - and it isn't worth it. After this, kde 2 and qt2 installed fine and run MOSTLY OK. There are problems with kde 2 itself...bugs. praedor Keep in touch with http://mandrakeforum.com: Subscribe the "[EMAIL PROTECTED]" mailing list.

After the installation, kde and kdm were REAL squirrelly. Kdm would let me start kde but nothing else. The panel in kde was blank and nothing in the menus worked. During my troubleshooting, I did an "rpm -qa | grep kde" and found that ALL the kde-1.1.2 rpms had been replaced except for kdebase-1.1.2. In that one instance, I had both kdebase-1.1.2 AND kdebase-2.0-1 installed. Oops. I manually removed the kdebase-1.1.2 rpm and reinstalled kde-2.0 (all rpms) again. This time, kdm was better behaved, though it wouldn't start "failsafe". Kde was better, with proper icons, though the panel was, again, nearly useless. About half the items I tried in the kde menus did not work. That was my experience. The ONE kdebase-1.1.2 rpm did not get replaced when I did it. I had to remove it myself. As a result of this, I suggest that it would be better to FIRST remove ALL the kde-1.1.2 rpms and then install all the kde-2.0 rpms rather than depend upon them to properly replace your old kde rpms. As for the other problems I've had, I am still trouble- shooting. Hopefully, by the end of the day I will have it fixed and running.

My qt IS updated. The latest qt2 packages were the first I upgraded since KDE is absolutely dependent upon it. Few questions. What version of libstdc++ do you have? What version of menu? What version of rpm? I believe these packages are the only logical possible problems, at least in my case. During rpm install of most of the KDE packages and the install of qt2, my /usr/bin/update-menus crashes/core dumps. This binary is supplied by menu. Menu requires the appropriate libstdc++ (I believe). It also, obviously, ties into the rpm install process. I am HOPING it is merely something simple like libstdc++, that all I need to do is install the proper version. During an attempt to build qt2 source several days ago, the build would fail because the configure script couldn't find libstdc++. Bizarre, because libstdc++ is right there in /usr/lib, which is in my /etc/ld.so.conf file, and I have run ldconfig in an attempt to make sure it is "known" about. praedor Keep in touch with http://mandrakeforum.com: Subscribe the "[EMAIL PROTECTED]" mailing list.

It turns out that you will have to upgrade almost everything. To install and use kde 2.0, you need to upgrade rpm and menu. These upgrades require glibc to be upgraded to THE latest (and by some accounts, broken) version. THIS breaks almost every app on your system so you also have to upgrade them (just download the latest glibc-2.96 or whatever it is and try to install it WITHOUT using the --nodeps or --force switch, you will get a LONG list of rpms that will be broken if you install it. These rpms are the same ones you would have to upgrade). I am debated breaking my stable 7.1 system just for the sake of using kde 2.0.

I finally have a workable KDE2. I followed someones link posted on here, downloaded all the tar balls and installed. Takes forever (it seems) it compile, but in the end, KDE2 works like a champ. After about 4 different downloads of Mandrake RPM's and all failing attempts. I do have one problem though. Some of the .tar files error on /lib/lddlso.1 (something like it at least) but the tar files just say can't find -- skipping. And work. I only have one real issue (if you can even call it an issue), how is it that root has sound, but not a user? My radio card will work as user, but not KDE sound schemes.

RE: [expert] Is kde2 only for mkd 7.2?
Dunno, but I am going to reinstall 7.1 on my system since trying to get kde2 to work seems impossible on my system too. Seemed odd yesterday though that kde.org had rc2 version and mandrake packages were there and they are all date stamped 10/13 however the packages wont install since I installed the ones from cooker (which are older in date) but the cooker files are claimed newer according to rpm. Cooker dates are 10/6 and 10/10 it seems. How could these files be a higher rev package when they are date stamped earlier ??

Well, what I really look for is something with Tree-based file-system view (long filanes get to be a pain on text-based FTP), and a QUE functionality, wherby I can add a ton of files from anywhere to a QUE, then transfer them. For small stuff I still and probably always will just use the text-based ftp program. However, the industry (their are people out there who are GUI only that might want to use a little linux) still doesn't have a perfect GUI ftp client yet, although GFTP is 70% there, if not 90% there, all it really needs is a QUE functionality like Cute-FTP, and maybe a MP3 file search like Cute-FTP, and that would be 100% what the industry needs .02 Given Eric Aksomitis http://www.dlcwest.com/~jed/re_answer.shtml

Putting noauth in /etc/ppp/options worked for me without the above user error, however pppd just dies as soon as I login to ISP. Haven't figured out this one yet. Brian D.

[expert] 3 probs with 7.0 left
I have three problems left to deal with on my 7.0 install. 1) No stereo sound, it is mono out of two speakers (sound card is a AWE64 Value) 2) How do I get my clock not to set hardware clock (accident hit during install, off by a lot, seems resetting upon reboot.) 3) CD-Rom was always hdd, but had to make it sr0since cd/rw. Zip drive was always hdb4. They are IDE. However now zip has to be sda4 (I think). Anyways the CD/RW wont work for nothing. I did install supermount Any Ideas? This is all the problems I have right now at least. Brian D. Klar - CVE OTS WPAFB (937)257-5773 937-973-3125 (Pager)

RE: [expert] mandrake 7 probs revisited
Thanks for the help on the pppd problem. As soon as I read the message, I did remember reading that a while back. Then I was running 6.1 and just brushed it off. pppd now connects, however, I cant surf at all. There is no errors given, just sets there twirling the N logo I couldn't get X to redo, so since I just installed 7.0 I decided to re-install it. I have the above pppd prob and also my cd-rw (/dev/sr0 /mnt/cdrom) will not operate My zip drive used to be (/dev/hdb4 /mnt/zip) and now is /dev/sda4 /mnt/zip. Why did this happen. I think if I can get it back to /hdb4 my cdrom will work. All of my drives in the system are IDE. I have a : /hda1 - Win98 /hda5 - Win /hdc1 - Win (data storage) / swap I chose to install supermount since it worked so well at the office. Although there I don't have but one hd and one cdrom (IDE) Is this a supermount prob (I know little about it) I see a reinstall coming since my inet won't let me surf Thanks all, Brian D.

[expert] mandrake 7 probs revisited
I just installed Mandrake 7 yesterday. I cant get pppd to work. It states something like "The remote computer is requested to authenicate itself I however am unable to supply [secret] password to get an IP address" something like this. This does not change whether I am Root, or user. Actually if from a terminal window I type "pppd" I get the same response. I installed as low security, tried to change to medium security, no difference I setup ppp from within linuxconf, and entered a name and "secret" password to no avail I usually use kppp. I have changed permissions on pppd, no good. The modem dials out and makes a connection, then pppd died unexpectedly. Second, I have managed to crash my X. I get an errno 111, something about TransSocket error, cant find font "fixed". Is there a way to fix this?? I recieved the disc with my purchase of Maximum Linux magazine (Real good I might add) Brian D. Klar - CVE OTS WPAFB (937)257-5773 937-973-3125 (Pager)

If not, do so now. Then, make sure telnetd is started by default. HOWEVER, it is HIGHLY recommended that you use SSH or something similar instead of Telnet. Telnet can be sniffed. SSH cannot.

RE: [expert] IP Masq problems (Resolved somewhat)
Well last night I double checked everything on the Win box. DNS, Gateway, IP. Everything is setup as before. This machine is my gf's. ftp to outside, great. Telnet to Linux machine, fine, print fine. Checked route on Linux, fine. Kept starting and closing IE. Nothing, the restarted IE and just went to some site like redhat.com, and it made it there. However now that it can surf, I cant telnet into my Linux machine from here at the office.

Like the gateway ip address, is it still there? When a change in the network environment occurs Windows is famous for losing settings and losing links to drivers. A good idea might be to remove the tcp/ip bindings to your network card and then reinstalling them (you'll need your windows installation cd for that).
