[expert] 2940U2 automatic card detection
Hello I have completed the installation of a Adaptec 2940 Ultra 2 SCSI pci card and a IBM hard drive (on MDK 6.0). I set the partitions up, did a modprobe aic7xxx, set the mount points, mount and everything works fine. This manual process works. My problem is the automatic routines. I set my info in fstab, configure the conf.modules file with the "alias scsi_hostadapter aic7xxx" save and reboot. The system comes up with errors because it can't find my card. Could someone tell me what I am doing wrong. The manual insmod/modprobe stuff works fine. The conf.modules configuration is not working for me. There is no mention of the card being detected in the logs. Your help would be greatly appreciated. Thanks Darryl
[expert] Stupid kppp problem
Okay, this isn't hindering me in any way but is annoying. I was using the original Helios kernel (2.2.13-7mdk?) and upgraded to the 22mdk kernel, and did everything right (not the first time I've upgraded kernels, and everything else was fine), except that kppp pops up a window with this message when I run it: - This kernel has no PPP support, neither compiled in nor via the kernel module loader. To solve this problem: * contact your system administrator or * install a kernel with PPP support - I contacted my system administrator (i.e. myself :) ), and myself told me that indeed the ppp modules are there. In fact, when I connected with kppp everything worked fine. When I connected it spat this message to my xterm: Couldn't find interface ppp0: No such device And yet it worked anyway. I have since: 1. Tried the 2.2.14-1mdk kernel from Cooker 2. Tried a fresh install of Cooker (THAT was a mistake :) ) 3. Tried a fresh install of Helios (with upgraded kernel) 4. Tried compiling either Cooker or updated Helios kernel (can't remember which) but it failed with an error during make 5. Successfully a compiled a standard 2.2.13 kernel from the net, with PPP support built in instead of as a module. This is what I'm using now. Throughout all of these different kernel situations, the aforementioned error message from kppp has persisted. So nothing's actually broken, because I still connect and it works fine, but kppp continues to tell me it's broken no matter what. Not a big deal, but annoying. Can anyone tell me why it's doing that and how to make it stop? -Tom

I have a linux box connected to Internet and a Win95 Client. I am not able to see my Linux shares in my win95 explorer. When I try smbclient -L server I get read socket failed: ERRNO:Connection refused. the same happens when I try for my client. I realize that SAMBA is not configured properly. Any help. Thanks Sridhar
[expert] xhost on KDE
When running KDE, it seems that I have to manually set xhost to my own computer, e.g: # xhost `hostname` It seems to apply whether I start X with startx or kdm. Inittab is set to initdefault = 3. Is there some way to automate this? -- -- C^2 No windows were crashed in the making of this email. Looking for fine software and/or web pages? http://w3.trib.com/~ccurley

I don't have a solution, but I have had exactly the same problem since building a custom 2.2.13 final on my LM 6.1 w/ everything install. On my system, I only get the message the first time I use KPPP after a reboot. Seems that once the ppp_deflate module has loaded, it doesn't give the message. Also doesn't give the message if I'm root the first time I run it. -- David Hart Vincity Design *Proudly sent from Linux Mandrake 6.1*
[expert] PalmOS Development
I've been trying for about the last month (without any luck) to set my workstations (Linux-Mandrake 6.0 6.1) up so I can develop PalmOS applications in GCC. I've found various sites that give instructions on how to do it, but even with the one that provides 'pre-patched' tarballs, I haven't had any luck whatsoever. Is there anybody out there who has succeeded at this task who could provide idiot-proof instructions on how to do this? Feel free to attach the necessary tarballs to the message if you like. The Palm software will be my first GCC undertaking. Desperate for help, - Theo
Re: [expert] 2940U2 automatic card detection
The relevant portions of my conf.modules looks like: alias scsi_hostadapter aic7xxx and that works correctly, so I don't think that's your problem. If you are trying to boot to the SCSI HA, you need to recompile. The driver may remain a module, but if you leave it as a module, be sure the recompilation process has produced new initrd and module-info files in /boot. If you use loadlin, be sure to copy those to your loadlin partition. For LILO, re-run lilo to get the new kernel built in to the loader. I'd build the driver into the kernel; it's easier.

[expert] msec
Hello List, I have a machine that I had a http server running on and I installed the msec rpm from cooker and now am unable to start httpd and also get messages at boot that dmesg and wtmp can not be touched during boot process. I would appreciate any help that anyone could offer to correct this. I also have a mm.sem file in var/log which I can not seem to remove and if I do rpm -e msec the file is still present. Thank's for any help, Dave
Re: [expert] 2940U2 automatic card detection
Thanks Charles I took your advice and rebuilt the kernel with aic7xxx support. Everything is working fine now. I must have hosed something up before.

Sridhar G wrote: I have set encryption to -no and I have Win 95 ver 4.00.950a. Is this OSR2.5? Sridhar Well, I am not sure. You might try setting encryption to "yes" Most of the samba settings can be done through the most recent version of linuxconf Of course, one important one is workgroup... This should match the windows name for it or they will have all sorts of annoying difficulties--like seeing each other but not accessing files. Good luck And if setting it to yes doesn't work, type out your settings in Network Neighborhood into a text file then cat smb.conf networksettings and email me personally with that file attachment.

Re: [expert] SAMBA Client
Most win95/98 clients will encript the password. The easyest thing to do is to set Samba so that it does NOT encript the password and then edit the registry of the client to turn off encription. You need to run regedit and go to HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE \System\CurrentControlSet\Services\VxD\VNETSUP Then create the entry: "EnablePlainTextPassword"=dword:0001 and reboot the client. -Original Message- From: Sridhar G [EMAIL PROTECTED] To: Expert Mandrake List [EMAIL PROTECTED] Date: Saturday, December 11, 1999 10:02 AM Subject: [expert] SAMBA Client I have a linux box connected to Internet and a Win95 Client.
