[expert] SVGATextmode and Matrox G200
Hello, Yesterday I installed the SVGATextMode 1.9**mdk rpm packaged by Bero on my Mandrake 6.1 box, which has a Matrox Millenniuim G200 AGP with 8 MB RAM. After reading the man pages, and trying a few modes without success, I'd like to know if anybody is already running successfully the same Card/OS/RPM combination, and whith wich settings. Below are excerpts of my Xfree86config, TextConfig files. All I have got so far is either the monitor complaining "SCAN OUT OF RANGE" or a stable text screen, at the standard 80x25 resolution but with characters scrambled all around. Only textmode, CTL+ALT+F2, login as root and reboot (all typed blindly) give me back the machine.

I have had good luck with the HP OfficeJet 630. SANE will run it as a scanner, and the HP 6xxC driver runs it. It sells for about $300. Also have done well with HP 850 and 870 using the same driver.

Re: [expert] Re-installing Linux -- Easy way to save accounts??
These programs do not like changes of the home-directories: netscape gimp star office I am sure there are other similar programs, but i run into problems with these. The problem is: instead of putting "$HOME" of "~/" in their *rc files, these programs use the full path. In case the path to your home-dir changes, you are out of luck... In my opinion this is a bug. By the way, with "gimp" the bug is somewhat subtle - path to the directory where gimp will hold its buffers is something like "your homedir"/.gimp/tmp If this dir does not exist, nothing happens, UNTIL you try loading some really big picture. Then the gimp realises there is no such directory and starts spawning the error-message windows which soon fill-in the while window and block the window-manager. In case you have another machine, you can log-in from outside and kill the window-manager, otherwise you can just wait until the whole memory gets exhousted and it crashes on its own. Easiest way to avoid this is simply removing the .gimp dirs, so that it gets re-made on next gimp start. cu Denis - Mag.

Subject: [expert] Remove "core" magically -- Opinion
Dear friends:
[Using Mandrake 6.1, AMD k6-2 400 Mhrtz, 128 megs of Ram]
My friend Jose M. Sanchez, a frequent advisor to Red Hat and Mandrake
lists and someone whom I have the highest professional respect for,
suggested that I could get rid of the frequent "core" files by editing
the /etc/profile file as follows:
# In bash2 we can't define a ulimit more than 0 for user :-(
[ "$UID" = "0" ]
{
ulimit -c 0
} || {
ulimit -c 0 }
The change he recommend (and which I have put into effect) involved
changing the default value for the FIRST "ulimit" -c from 10 to 0.
I am a non-techie, and as such, while I have full faith in Jose's
judgment, I would appreciate opinions from other gurus as to whether
they agree with Jose and whether there are, in their opinion, any
side-effects that I should take into consideration.
For the record, I made this change about a week to 10 days
ago and have
not had a single "core" that I know of on my system.
Thank you so very much.

[expert] SMB, restricting number of connections
I have a question about SMB. I am running Mandrake 6.0 on a P-200, acting as a network server for approximately a dozen other systems. What we'd like to do is install software such as WordPerfect using the "install on a network server" option so that we can restrict how many people access the software at a given time. However, our "max connections = 2" setting doesn't seem to work. In the organization, they wanted to only spend money on a few licenses of the software and set a restriction that only two people could run it at any given time. Can anyone point me to a few clues about what I'm doing wrong? --- Ian Douglas, System Administration [EMAIL PROTECTED]

Re: [expert] install prob solution!
Uh huh! I DLed and burned a copy of Helios using a brand-new, high-quality CD-RW. I installed on three machines. All the installations reported no errors. Networking died on one, and an attempt to ping produced a segfault on a second. The third worked flawlessly! Well, I watch "surplus" distributors these days for opportunities to buy 4x and 8x CD-ROMs. I even buy the Panasonic/NEC/Toray PD/CD drives because I get good results from them. It seems in this mad dash for speed (at list "spin-speed") on the CD that most if not all manufacturers on CD-ROMs have reduced specs for eccentricity and head positioning under extended use. For the same reason, I tend to buy LS-120s and LX-120s not for their modest ability to port data, but for their consistent performance as high-quality floppy drives. There, the average price for a floppy is the competing factor that again seems to have driven down quality. I have a dozen machines ranging in age from manufacturer from 9 to 24 months. Precisely ONE can write a floppy that all the others can read. I wasted 6 hours installing FreeBSD this weekend with a defective 44X drive. I put in another two hours finding and substituting an old 8X that installed from the same CD. Of course, I am on the wrong end of a chain of cargo abuse that has left three of the last five computers I have received arriving with broken-off speakers or detached CPU fan/heatsink combos arriving rattling in the case and in one instance with a case smashed beyond recognizability, so I figure the mechanical components arrive with an average of what three years normal use would do from the G-forces imposed during transit. Perhaps the freight was less abusive in the past, but even when I lived in "civilization", I do remember this tendency for "hyper-fast" CDs to be intolerant of media.

RE: [expert] New Mandrake Kernel is SMP only
Why compile the kernel if you don't need to and there are space and time considerations. It seems that if RPM's are provided they should be the right thing. I had the same problem. Even though there are both SMP and non-SMP RPM's for the 2.2.13-22 kernels, they are really both SMP kernels. Also the -22 SMP kernel hangs on shutdown on UP systems. Shouldn't uni-processor configurations also be able to take advantage of the -22 fixes to the kernels?

Re: [expert] Missing pixmaps deja vu :)
Uninstall (rpm -e) the kcmclock rpm's and then run rpm -Uvh on the kdelibs rpm off the install cd. The install of kdelibs does not fully complete during the install due to an error caused by the kcmclock package. If you want the kcmclock package run rpm -Uvh --force kcmclock.xxx.xxx.rpm Arandir wrote: On Mon, 08 Nov 1999, you wrote: Hi...

Re: [expert] Making a new kernel?
You make no mention of actually moving the new kernel from /usr/src/linux/arch/i386/boot to /boot, but I assume you did that. I do not believe make mrproper or make clean are necessary any longer. Don't forget to run /sbin/lilo after you edit /etc/lilo.conf and move the new kernel. The steps: make xconfig make dep make bzImage make modules mv /lib/modules/current /lib/modules/modules.old make modules_install vi /etc/lilo.conf mv /boot/bzImage /boot/oldimage cp /usr/src/linux/arch/i386/boot/bzImage /boot/bzImage /sbin/lilo Reboot.

I suspect that the new modules screws up the existing ones there, but I'm not quite sure. Should I delete all the existing modules in /lib/modules/ before do "make modules_install"? All I did is make mrproper make xconfig make dep make clean make bzImage make modules make modules_install What else do I need to do? Thanks, Joe -- John J. LeMay Jr. NJMC, LLC. http://www.njmc.com
[expert] CGI errors
I know this isn't a Mandrake specific question, but this is the best resource for linux issues I've found. I'm configuring Apache 1.3.6 to run CGI scripts. I keep getting a 500 internal server error. The error_log is saying that there's a premature end of script headers. Does anybody know what this is or is there a cgi forum I can go to? Thanks, Nunar
Re: [expert] SMP
What console tool could be used to watch processes distribution on CPUs? Default ps/top from procps package do not show such information. Have you tried ktop I'm doing server install. Without X. Well I know that Mandrake is not the best choice for that but I do not want to use too many distros. Mindaugas
