[expert] LILO woes
I have a Windows NT system with two HD. The first disk is 1 partition with only Windows NT. The second disk has three partitions, NT uses one, the second is the one I'm trying to install Mandrake-Linux to, the third is the Linux swap. The install goes fine, except LILO is not working. When the pc boots up it prints "1 01 01 01 01 01 01 01 01 01 01 01 01 01 01 01 01 01 01 01 01 01 01 01 01 01 01 01 01 01 01 01 01 01 01 01 01 01 01 01 01 01 01 01" repeatedly on the screen. I have to boot with a windows disk and run fdisk /mbr to get the PC to boot again, and then it's only going into NT (expected). I'm telling lilo that NT is at hda1, and Linux is at hdb2. Am I missing something? Shouldn't this work, ok so it doesn't, so what do I need to do to get it to work? /dev/null[EMAIL PROTECTED]
Re: [expert] cert7.db
Good and Excellent question. I also noticed that with 4.72 that Netscape all a sudden starts using up all the swap until X crashes, and this sucks. Just out of no where, plus composer is un-useable because it crashes whenever you try to click on apply when your putting a graphic in your web page.

Re: [expert] Kernel Compile
Hi,
change the HOSTCFLAGS in /usr/src/linux/Makefile and CFLAGS_NSR/CFLAGS in
/usr/src/linux/arch/i386/Makefile to
-O2 -fomit-frame-pointer -pipe -Wall
and avoid using any optimized compiler, use gcc-2.7.2.3 or 2.95.2
if you want a stable kernel.

Re: [expert] silly question
Maybe I'm confused about the concept of a "software" clock. Since I'm coming from a background of VMS and Windows, the machines I've used only have one clock. I understand using offsets, but let's assume I have my hardware clock set to local time, rather than GMT, set my TZ variable correctly, etc. Then, in that case (which oddly enough is mine), does rdate -s set the hardware clock, or is there some magic clock saved somewhere else that it is updating? I assume it is updating the actual BIOS clock, since I have no offset set personally. WHEW! OTOH, I'll now have to look at the hwclock command and see if I need to change my nightly clock-reset cron job. :-) On 12 Mar, John Aldrich wrote: > On Sun, 12 Mar 2000, you wrote: > I beg to differ...

[expert] File Permissions
Howdy all, I am trying to change permissions of a directory on my system so I can use it to install etc programs into. I cannot get it to work though. I have Linux install on the 1st partition of my HD, Linux swap on #2, and Windows on #3. I have a primary slave installed which I use for all my Wind'ohs games. I then have a 6GB secondary master installed on which I would like to keep my temp files, installed progs etc. Under /dev/hdd1, the owner of th device is listed as me (wapether) not root. However, the directories are listed as root owned. When I log on as root and try to change the ownership of these, it tells me: [root@F11-pc-3B022-1 DOS_hdd1]# chown -v wapether Wayne/ failed to change owner of Wayne to wapether chown: Wayne: Operation not permitted [root@F11-pc-3B022-1 DOS_hdd1]# What is the specific command I use to change ownership of this directory to my user profile?

Re: [expert] Mandrake 6.1 Kernel Compile
The stock kernel that comes with Mandrake 6.1 is broke. Grab the latest kernel from kernel.org and be happy. ;) (btw, for you non-believers.., I've ran the same hardware on RH on SuSE and I "never" had a problem with the stock source until Mandrake) Btw, stock source = that what came with the distrib..., and using xconfig.

[expert] auto X start
Hello, I have a question pertaining to the option that starts X automatically. I tried to configure a serial mouse and I thought all was well until I booted the next startup at which time the computer booted to the place where it starts X and hanged with the hdd making nioses and the screen flashing. Using the ctrl-alt-del I could shutdown, and I noticed it said fatal server error: could not start mouse: no such device. I finally remedied this with an upgrade to 7.0. Not the best way to handle the situation. I finally have the new 7.0 working ok, but my question is for futer referance. Is there a way to go back to the command shell that starts when there is no auto start of X? I guess I could make a bootdisk that has that option, but I don't know how to do that. Any help would be appreciated.
Re: [expert] Kernel Compile
Barry
Have you looked at http://www.kernelnote.org to see the minimal requirements
to compile the 2.2.13 kernel and checked everything on your system against
the list. I would expect that from a new install you should be able to
compile but ???
Also have you installed all of the 6.1 updates yet. If not it would
be a good idea to do that first. I've had weird problems trying to compile
some kernel versions but when I checked the requirements and updated my
modules, the compilation worked.

Re: [expert] Kernel Compilation
No, the System.map in boot in not affected by a kernel compilation. The System.map in /usr/src/linux ( or wherever you installed the source) is updated. I'm thinking that the System.map in /usr/src/linux needs to be copied to /boot with a unique id and then point the /boot/System.map to that file before running lilo and rebooting (assuming the corresponding kernel is in the /boot directory along with it) But there is something that does not seem correct about this because then how would you boot to another kernel without editing the link, rerunning lilo and then rebooting. Just does not compute. Does the kernel find the correct System.map file when it boots?

Hmm...I know what the problem is in OE. You need to go get the PGP

it, but you DO need to have PGP installed to be able to read PGP

Doesn't it work? You know, this is embarrassing. Since I *know* you can't bring up a network without ifconfig, I didn't try when I saw these errors. Now I tried. It works fine.

I'm guessing... don't know why, but there exists two mayor versions of ssh, and one is incompatible with the another; the reason: the prrotocol used.

[expert] Mandrake 6.1 Kernel Compile
Hi, I have recently installed Linux Mandrake 6.1 on a K6-2 400Mhz machine,
64Mb Mem and 8Gb Hard drive. All appears to be working well, it is on a LAN,
X works etc. The next thing I need to do is to recompile the kernel to put
in the HAM RADIO AX25 options.
The current kernel is the stock 2.2.13 -4mdk.
Initially I planned to use xconfig to set up the configuration but "make
xconfig" gave the following error:
rm -f include/asm
( cd include ; ln -sf asm-i386 asm)
make -C scripts kconfig.tk
make[1]: Entering directory `/usr/src/linux-2.2.13/scripts'

make[1]: *** [tkparse.o] Error 1
make[1]: Leaving directory `/usr/src/linux-2.2.13/scripts'
make: *** [xconfig] Error 2
I could overcome the error and get xconfig to compile and run if I removed
the '-mpreferred-stack-boundary=2' diective from the HOSTCFLAGS portion of
the Makefile.
Anyway just to be safe I did a make config. This went OK. next make dep,
then make clean then a make. This led to the following error:
gcc -D__KERNEL__ -I/usr/src/linux-2.2.13/include -Wall -Wstrict-prototypes -

make[1]: *** [init/main.o] Error 1
This time I removed the '-mpreferred-stack-boundary=2' diective from the
HOSTCFLAGS portion of the Makefile in the arch/i386 directory, and the
compile went a little further, but I then got a number of other messages
similar to:
gcc: Internal compiler error: program cc1 got fatal signal 11
make[3]: *** [ide.o] Error 1
make[2]: *** [first_rule] Error 2
make[1]: *** [_subdir_block] Error 2

inserted
{standard input}: 5627: Error: unbalanced parentesis in second operand.
These message seem to change from compile to compile, but they are all along
the same line.
Any ideas, is the related to my having removed the
'-mpreferred-stack-boundary=2' directives?
How do I get this to compile with those directories in.
As I said earlier this is a clean Mandrake 6.1 install, nothing else has
been "played" with yet.
The gcc version is pgcc-2.1.66 19990314.
Any help will be much appreciated

[expert] Need help getting KDE 2 up and running.
I am running Mandrake 7.0 and am new to linux. I thought I followed the readme for installation of the kdealpha of 02282000, which is the full install of kde2 alpha. I have a qt-copy in /usr/src/kde/qt-copy and kde2 files are in /opt/kde2 the install was done from / as root, the the files were installed from the 02282000 rpm using the --install --force --nodeps options as indicated by the readme. The readme indicates nothing else needs to be done. How ever when I try to start kword I come up with a error dialouge that stats dcopserver needs to be running. I start dcopserver and then try to start kword and small amount of hard drive activity then nothing. Would like to get kde2 running, particularly koffice suite. Can any help me get it working. Thanks in advance. Ralph PS. Have tried the usual KDE sites for FAQ's to no avail.
