[Cooker] IceWM <> KDE desktop error
On a freashly minimal/router/firewall installation of mdk 9.1 when running IceWM and Mandrake Controll Center, an error keeps poping on the screen every couple of minuits, then dissapearing before it displays its message. The titlebar says "Error - KDesktop" Is there supposed to be a problem with using mcc in icewm? It just finished its blinking and posted this as its error message: "could not start process unable to start io-slave. Too many open files.

[Cooker] set kde to single click but somtimes it makes me doubleclick
in testing 9.1 I set kde to single click but somtimes it makes me doubleclick, like when the little micro konqueror box opens up to safe a file off the web, to traverse the folders and directory in this little save window I have to doubleclick to get where I am trying to go. I did set in Kcontrol my preference for singleclick but to no avail, how do I get singleclick to function globally through my profile?

[Cooker] drakconnect and dialup
to get things how I want them I have been running drakeconnect to adjust my conifuration. It has autodetected my modem and nic just fine, but my gripe is with the modem config, it shure would be nice if it remembered the values entered, for name number, uid and passwd. This should be simple to accomplish by having it parse the existing system wide kppp setup made during a previous run of drakeconnect. Would this be possiable in 9.1? -- -- As we enjoy great advantages from inventions of others, we should be glad of an opportunity to serve others by any invention of ours; and this we should do freely and generously. - Benjamin Franklin

[Cooker] whose bright idea?
whose un-bright idea was it to make double click default in mdk 9.1 rc2?` Forever it has been a single click enviroment in KDE, this change is really throughing a wrench at users who are familiar with and prefer a single click enviroment, makes it a real pain to have to go through and adjust the mouse clicks fore each useser on the network.

I will agree hear, they are whining bad enough at having to learn a new word prosessor with more features than thier wp8 annyway. waaa the icons have different colors I am lost... I have obtained libwpd and am working on compiling it on my system and integrating it into OO, I will probably also give abiword a try to see jsut how well it does. We are trying to standardize our office suite on OO or SO, due to thier being avaliable for a wider variety of operating systems, and the free avaliability of OO means our documents are portable to customers outside of our office without requiring them to go out and pirate or purchase a $400 office suite, like MS or Corel, rather they can simply download OO. We have a minidisk buisness card, and on it we include OO for our customers convienience.

[Cooker] Obtained Star Office from Mandrake, whear is the advertized Word Perfect filter?
Drooling over the arrival of my MDK 9.0 DVD edition, I quickly found the rpm corresponding to a long awaited application. Only to be soon disapointed. The office network I manage has several useres who were word perfect users, and have a large resource of *.wpd documents. We researched into staroffice and what we found is that it advertized being able to import *.wpd files, ecclent. We then placed our order for mdk 9 for upgrade purposes and because it had star office bundled with it. Well I got the staroffice rpms installed and tried opening a wordperfect document, well nothing :-( I then checked the documentation, and tried a custom install for the purpose of selecting the filters I wanted installed. Unfortunatly it seems the advertized *.wpd filter was not included. I would very much like to obtain it, is there a sight from wich it can be downloaded, patched or purchased. We are trying to migrate our files to the more compact xml filetype that openoffice, staroffice, and other multii Operating System word processors are now using. It is important that a way of filtering or importing *.wpd documents be made avaliable on our system. If anyone knows where I can obtain such a filter for staroffice or other please send me the nessicary information. I thank you for your help. Brent
[Cooker] drakperm bug, msec, crontab, custom directory permissions, and personalized groups.
I am looking for the best place to set custom directory permissions, specific to groups added to the system. In controll center I , went into security, security permissions, and toggled to editable. I then added a rule, selected my path, set the user and permissions, then I tried setting the group and the group I had added did not appear in the list. Drakeperm will not let me type the group in either. I verified in userdrake that my group was created, I then created an additonal group (all lowercase), still did not appear in drakperm under group. It seems I may have to use a different tool to set the user/group permission granularity I need. Which tool would be best? I have workgroup specific directorys that I need the permissions set hourly or half hourly so files generated by users will be changed to be editable by those in the workgroup.

[Cooker] smp kernel instabilities
I am having some seriously unwelcom smp kernel instabilities using MDK 9.0, using a msi k7d-m motherboard and dual athlon mp processors. I have a hp office jet g85 printer/fax/scanner, that will crash the kernel hard shortly after xdm loads. Though it works in uni-processor mode fine. Running in smp mode crunching seti or using a java based distributed processing program, I wake to find my machine hard locked. When I say hard locked means no telnet, no ctrl alt del, no ctrl alt backspace, no ctrl alt f1-f6, not even the L-alt sysrequest r-s-e-i-u-b, is working to unlock the kernel. I am having to resort to the reset button, K. Good thing for jerneled filesystems (ext3, and ReiserFS) (and my intel raid controller with 256mb cashe). I have almost never seen where the L-alt sysrequest key sequence would not shut the machine down semi gracefully. Have there been any major kernel revisions that might help to alliviate these problems?

[Cooker] Using ClusterNFS to enable thin clients to use local cdrom drive
I am using ClusterNFS to enable thin clients to use local cdrom drives. Working with Mandrake Linux 9.0 to set up the thin client terminals, and setting up files and directories per client as per the clusternfs way. cdrom$$hostname=workstation1$$ however the workstation is attempting to acess the cdrom on the server, not the cdrom locally installed in the terminals computer case. Is there documentation specific to thin clients avaliable?? Can a thin client acess its cdrom n floppy via clusternfs, while all apps are running on the server using xdmcmp?

[Cooker] HP Deskjet 820cse broken on mdk 9.0
I have a HP Deskjet 820cse, and the driver seems to be broken on mdk 9.0, running a smp kernel. The printer test page when using drakconf and cups to set it up, loads halfway into the machine where the print head alignes with the top of the paper then it just sits there the light blinking (means recieving print job) and never prints. the testprint job just sits there in the cups print que: Processing Since XXX I have tried setting the printer port to standard, ecp, epp, spp and all other options in the bios and the error appears to be the same. It never starts putting the ink to paper. Had no problem in version 8 through 8.2, seems to me to be a driver issue.
[Cooker] smp usb and hp office jet g85 not a good combination
I have went throught quite a bit of grief trying to get a hp office jet g85 running on usb on my dual athlon liquid cooled terminal server. Causes real erratic stability issues. Most of the time when booting into smp mode with the g85 plugged into usb, the machine will lock just after having finished loading KDM. In fact this is about the worse lock I have ever had, not even the , , , , , works to safely shutdown unmount and reboot the system. It has been a long time since I have had to use the reset button. (ecept on a windows box) A little research has revield that the smp usb problem is a known kernel issue. I hope things are made to work better in the 2.5 seriese kernels. I will be building a uniprossesor print server to handle this g85 printer on our network for the above mentioned reasons. Unfortunate because the g85 is a multifunction device and i really wanted to handle the scanning locally on the higher power machine. the smp is a lot better at converting images from the raw format the scanner puts out. I am open to suggestions if anyone has a solution.
[Cooker] Fwd: time to upgrade
I just upgraded my terminal server, was wondering if you were interested, or know anyone who might be interested in my old iron. It is a HP Kayak XU with dual 450MHz Intel Xeon (server processors) each has 512K L2 cashes, 512 MB of ECC sdram, a 9gig SCSI Seagate cheta hard drive spinning at 10,000 RPM, Dual network cards, sound, CD, USB, raidport card, dual channel SCSI (~30 devices), and more; (for this I am asking $400) I can deliver this server as a preconfigured terminal server or other (depending on how you would like me to program is for you $50 to $150), with these options; 8 gig DAT tape backup + around 20 tapes (asking $65), a 21" monitor .26 dot pitch and Permedia II AGP card (asking $200), additional ultrafast SCSI harddrives (I have 3 9gig 1 rpm segate chetas I would like $40 each for them (these drives scream performance)), win4lin, CD burner, and other custom configurations and hardware (simply ask for a quote). This is a real serious computer, a real fast computer, capeable of running hundred(s) of users at once on inexpensive diskless terminals. It crunches seti packets 2 every 14 hours. It has recorded uptime on the scale of months. I can recommend this to anny one in search of power with reliability. This is an upgrade opportunity not to be missed, let me know if you are interested.
[Cooker] mdk 9.0 not able to format usb ide drive?
I have made several unsucessful attempts at setting up an external 30 gig usb ide hard drive. When using drakconf it is recognized, and I am cautioned; I can't read the partition table of device sdc, it's too corrupted for me :( I can try to go on, erasing over bad partitions (ALL DATA will be lost!). The other solution is to not allow DrakX to modify the partition table. (the error is unknown partition table format on disk /dev/sdc. ) Do you agree to loose all the partitions? I agree, and am presented with a bar representing /dev/sdc. I click to make one large partition out of this drive. Define my mount point, hit the format button and get this error message: writing partition table failed I have tried smaller partions, and differing file systems, to no avail. Does anyone have tips on setting up an external usb drive?

[Cooker] enabeling root login on terminal
"Should X fail, you'll fall back to a console login. The neat thing here, with ClusterNFS, is that it you enable the root account, you could run XFdrake from the client machine, creating a client specific configuration that can be scp'd back to the server for the next session." How does one enable root or su root logins on the terminals?

I have gigabit on the server broken down to 100 per client through a gigabit/100tx switch this subnetwork in our office is dedicated to the purpose of the terminal server. Fro Total Cost of Ownership it is important that we run, i guess it is called, fat clients where the apps run on the big iron in the server room, allowing us to leverage our antique hardware into somthing usefull... I would dread approaching the board and asking we upgrade 200 workstations to 750 mhz plus systems to get the performance our users have become accustomed to... Sounds like, unless there is any other way to get things running on the server using MDK 9's implementation of terminal services? I will have to go back to LTSP for my needs. At least that is the nice thing about Linux, choices Thanks for putting the terminals services together for mdk 9 regardless, as to be expected it setup with reasonable mdk ease ;-)
[Cooker] LTSP vs. MDK Terminal Server
One of the first things I have noticed after logging my user in on a terminal into KDE is that the terminal under MDK Terminal Server shows and runs with the resources of the terminal. The terminal being a P166mmx with a meer 72MB of ram is a real dog to load and run KDE 3. On the contrary This same terminal using LTSP runs at the speed of and shows the hardware resources of the server. (that is one of the most endeering characteristics of using a terminal server IMO). The ability to use retired systems as displays yet the user gets to work at and with the muscle of the server. It seems this may not be the case in the way that the MDK Terminal Server is implemented. Is this true? Using MDK Terminal Server, do the users on the terminals work at that terminals native speed? Or do they get to do thier work with the muscle of the server?

[Cooker] terminal server setup (ALMOST)
All is good on the server, service stop and start properly, made a net-boot flopy. Terminal boots, finds dhcp, loads kernel, inits kernel, grabs moduled from clusternfs shared / directory on terminal server. Obtains IP and lease for 17000 duration. At this point things start not working so well: SCIODDART: Network is unreachable Mounting root filesystem 192.168.1.254 / at /sysroot If this file appears to hand check that the server of 192.168.1.254 / is able to reverse-map my IP address 192.168.1.11 to obtain my hostname client_192_168_1_11 And then it hangs. So I guess I need help getting the server to reverse map the ip and obtain the hostname properly. Whear and how, to set this up? documentation?

[Cooker] mdk 9.0 will not run in smp mode.
I have a msi k7d-master mobo and dual athlon 1ghz mp processors, I have installed the full release (pending the arrival of my preordered dvd powerpack) things went smoothly, untill it booted for the first time. while initilazing the kernel around the acpi functions the bootstrapping process loops and the computer resets. I have tried stripping it down to the base of components, just mobo, ram and vid card. still no smp boot. I have tried playing with the acpi settings in the bios still no smp boot. It will boot in single processor mode, how and where can I chek the log to see exactly what it going on when trying to boot in smp mode and the computer resets. how do I get dual processor mode working?

remember you always have options, please print and keep handy. This is a jem
of a tip. (use konqueror to open the attached file), or use the link and get
it from the source
http://www.mandrakeuser.org/mub/viewtopic.php?topic=9704&forum=8&2
When stuck in a "freeze", your computer will not respond to commands anymore
and input devices like keyboard and mouse seem to be blocked. This is a worst
case scenario and could mean that you have a very severe error in either your
configuration, your software or your hardware. Here we will show you to deal
with this annoying situation.
In the case of a system freeze, your top priority should be trying to
shutdown your system properly. Let's assume you are under X, if so, try these
steps consecutively:
*
Try to kill the X server by pressing ALT+CTRL+BACKSPACE simultaneously.
*
Try to switch to another console with ALT+CTRL+F2. If you succeed, login as
root and issue the command: kill -15 $(pidof X) or the command kill -9
$(pidof X), if the first command shows no effect. (Check with top to see if X
is still running).
*
If you are part of a local network, try to ssh into your machine from
another box. It is advisable to ssh into the remote machine as an
unprivileged user and then use su to become root.
*
If the system does not respond to any of these steps, you have to go through
the "SysRq" ("System Request") sequence. The "SysRq" sequence involves
pressing three keys at once, the left ALT key, the SysRq key (labeled
PrintScreen on older keyboards) and a letter key.
*
Left ALT+SysRq+r puts the keyboard in "raw" mode. Now try the pressing
ALT+CTRL+BACKSPACE again, to kill the X. If that does not work, carry on.
*
Left ALT+SysRq+s attempts to write all unsaved data to disk ("sync" the
disk).
*
Left ALT+SysRq+e sends a termination signal to all processes, except for
init.
*
Left ALT+SysRq+i sends a kill signal to all processes, except for init.
*
Left ALT+SysRq+u attempts to remount all mounted filesystems read-only. This
removes the "dirty flag" and will avoid a file system check upon reboot.
*
Left ALT+SysRq+b reboots the system. You might just as well press the
"reset" button on your machine.
[Note]
Remember that this is a sequence, i.e. you have to press one combination
after the other in the right order: Raw, Sync, tErm, kIll, Umount, reBoot[1].
You will find more on this feature in /usr/src/linux/Documentation/sysrq.txt.
*
If none of the above helps, cross fingers and press the "reset" switch on
your machine. If you are lucky, GNU/Linux will just run a disk check upon
reboot.
By all means, try to find out what causes these lockups because they can do
severe damage to the file system. You might also want to consider using
ReiserFS, a journaling file system included in Mandrake Linux since 7.0,
which handles such failures more gracefully. However, replacing ext2fs with
ReiserFS requires reformatting your partitions.

[Cooker] Diskdrake not recognizing usb 2.0 hd reiserfs partition
I have a external usb 2.0 30G ide drive. one large partition formated with reiserfs using mdk 8.0. I plugged it in to the Water Cooled Terminal Server's usb 2.0 ports and launched disdrake to set my mount point. I got an error from diskdrake warning the partition table was unreadable on the usb drive and that I would have to reformat it. This I cannot do, it contains important backup data. Why would diskdrake not recognize a ide drive in a external usb 2.0 enclosure?

[Cooker] RC2 not running smp on a Dual AMD MP on MSI K7-D Master
When trying to init with the smp kernel the system hangs and reboots shortly after calibrating the delay loops, while initalizing isapnp This mobo has no Isa how do I turn this off? Why would rc2 not boot into smp mode?

When this feature is fixed, will the Ctrl-Alt-+ and Ctrl-Alt-- zooming work on the terminals using the new terminal server features of MDK 9.0? Is it possiable to set a per user preference for the display resolution?
