Re: [expert] Gnome background not accepting changes
BS""D Hi Andrew, > Anyone else had trouble with changes to the background in Gnome resetting to > the default every time the user logs on? > > I thought it might be a permissions thing, but I cant find anything with odd > permissions in either .gnome or .sawmill dir's ... just a simple question: have you tried to set your background with the "gnome control center"? The question is just because if you change the background inside the control tool of your window manager (e.g. enlightenment) the change lasts for just one session; everytime you logout and login again you'll get your old default. "Gnome control center" worked fine for me! Best, Daniel.

Re: [expert] Pilot Problems
I use Kpilot, and I've found that even when Kpilot is running, the palm won't "hot-sync" until the actual program that interfaces with the serial port (called kpilotDaemon) is running. Try running a terminal (alt-f2, type xterm) and then running kpilotDaemon in the terminal so that you can view any error messages produced. Also, I suggest that you say that you HAVE NOT synced your pilot for the first time already, as the software under windows is different from the linux software, and I expect that the linux software wants to do a full backup of your pilot the first time, and only do an incremental backup after that.

Re: [expert]
Matt, I think Ronald has hit on something else here too. My Pilot wouldn't sync with Jpilot for the longest time until I changed to using /dev/ttyS2. For some reason that's what the serial port was at on my computer. Maybe yours is set up the same. Worth a try at least. Keith -- There's ease of use and then there's ease of usefulness.

[newbie] Internet Server Question(Maybe)?
Here's the deal. I have a DSL connection that all the computers on my LAN share. We have an extra phone line that noone calls cause it used to be our dial-up internet connection. My brother is cheap and doesn't want to pay for his own internet acount, so here's what we did in windows 2000. His modem dials mine and we get a pretty good connection(44K or better). When you open network neighborhood it looks like his machine is just another computer on my network, so it gives him internet, file, and printer access just like the rest of us. Granted it is slower, but his connection is just as functional as anyone elses hanging directly on the network. The DSL modem is on it's own port on the network and has it's own IP. To connect to the net I just set everyone's machine up to use the DSL's IP as a gateway and it has worked beautifully. How do I set up Linux on my machine to answer the phone when it rings and allow him access to the network? I have kept the IP the same for all the OS's I boot to for ease of use, and have tried to simplify everything. Do I just set the machine up as an internet server, or what? Do I use IP forwarding? When I set him up as a user, does he need to be a PPP user or a general user? Since it is a local call, alot of the time we'll just connect and leave it connected for days, but since I've moved primarily to Linux it renders my machine boring to me when he wants to go onto the web. Maybe I just have my head up my but, but I'm totally lost here. I know it would be easier if I had a another machine set up that I could dedicate to this and a couple of other small tasks, but I'm still in the works on that, and I need a temporary fix. Any help would be appreciated. Get Your Private, Free E-mail from MSN Hotmail at http://www.hotmail.com

Re: [expert] Binding sound to $DISPLAY
Gnome itself may not be the hog, but the applications for it have the propensity to use libs and toolsets from many sources (not just GTK). This has the effect of loading a whiole slew of libs if you plan to actually run any apps in Gnome, as opposed to just looking at it. I'm not religious, and I don't use KDE either (don't know where you got that from), I run BlackBox. :-) I was simply stating that I have no intention of running Gnome to solve my probs, and my reasons why not.

Re: [expert] Mandrake 7.1 and BP6 hard drive optimizations
Hi Paul, I am running NT4.0 and Linux 7.0-2 smp mode on the ide3 port.
Nt is on hde drive, and linux is on the second drive at hdf. I do not
have any hard drives on the ide1 ide2 or ide4 ports. My CD-ROMS are on
ide1 port, and this setup works very well. I have a very stable system,
and am using the original High Point drivers that came on the disk.
Running 2 Celerons at 466 MHZ not over clocked, right now. System staty
cool and can run the PS test with out crashing. For a lot of help with
the BP6 board you should check out the message board at
http://www.bp6.com/forum , those guys have all the answers that you will
ever need.
ttyl,

Re: [expert] zenith monitor scan frequencies needed
Danielyou should probably not stick a metal screwdriver (the metal changes the adjustment, so when you remove the metal screwdriver, the setting you just carefully arrived at changes) in those holes. There are special plastic ones for that purpose. Radio Shack sells a pack of five different sizes of these for a somewhat paltry sum (as Radio SShack prices go). I'd suggest picking upa set.

Your system may complain about deleting open files, and there are ways to truncate an open file w/o making it complain, but that's a bit detailed to go into here. :-) Good luck!

[expert] Mandrake 7.1 and BP6 hard drive optimizations
Hi all,
I hope this doesn't cover too well trod ground but I couldn't find any
good answer to it in the archives. I recently decided to switch to Mandrake
from Red hat when 7.1 came out. One of the statements I saw sent around about it
was that it natively supported the HPT366 UDMA66 interface that is part of the
BP6 motherboard. Mandrake does successfully work and install on a drive that
is on that bus but the performance I'm getting is horrible, worse than the
drives I have on the BX chip set's native IDE interface.
I have tried doing "hdparm -d1 -X66 /dev/hde" but the system just locks up
after a few seconds. I've also tried various variations on that but none seem
to work and most lock the machine up.
Here is a sample of the output from hdparm:
[root@gratz1 /root]# hdparm -i /dev/hde

Re: [expert] fonts in 7.0
Just install the DrakFont RPM from the 7.1 distro. :-) Otherwise, you have to copy TTF files (ensuring the extension is lowercase), then run ttmkfdir, etc, as described in several different tutorials written much more clearly than I write. I've grabbed the DrakFont RPM and am using it on a 7.0-2 setup without a problem, much simpler than the manual method I used just a few months ago.

[expert] NFS Hair-Puller
Hello all, I've been fighting with NFS for several months (off and on) and still run into a screwball problem. I can only connect (or mount, if you will) one way. Machine 1 (boss) will not connect to machine 2 (darkstar) to mount the exported directory. I can ping, telnet and FTP to darkstar anytime I want with no prob's. Darkstar, on the other hand mounts the exported directory just fine. The message I get is connection refused both during boot and during a netfs restart. Civileme was kind enough to send a step-by-step instruction sheet and I have followed it faithfully in order to get where I'm at at this time.. It is most likely something I have overlooked causing my problem as I have had the same problem with several distro's. The one exception was Corel 1.0 set up as a linux to linux SAMBA network, worked flawlessly.. I installed LM 7.1b3 on both machines, went through the whole process of setting up the domain, IP addresses, exported directories, hosts, and resolve.conf. I have compared the settings on both machines - identical except for IP addresses and hostnames. I'm goin' nutz trying to figure this out, anybody have a suggestion? Oh, for what it's worth, I (don't kill me to death) run both machines as root. Neither machine has any security concerns as they are test-bench machines.

[expert] text:disk full
Oops, sorry about html. I have lm 6.5. installed to half capacity of 2 gig hda3. I usually run korganizer, staroffice5.1 from turbolinux, and recently, cbb and then karchive. First problem occurred when working w/staroffice which suddenly did not allow me to enter data into spreadsheet cell. Then seemed OK when restarted staroffice but reported no room when I tried to save work. Then I fiddled w/ karchive which window SOMEtimes only show what I want archd. finally, I checked kdisk??? and surprise, hda3 was full to capcity. I dont know what to check.what could fill it up so fast? Now no X (blank srcn & dim flashes), no console on restart. X failed, else OK on shutdown (crt-alt-del). Anyone any idea? NOTE: I also installed kudzu early w/dependency properly linked.Runs OK evry start.

[expert] disc full
I have lm 6.5. installed to half capacity of 2 gig hda3. I usually run korganizer, staroffice5.1 from turbolinux, and recently, cbb and then karchive. First problem occurred when working w/staroffice which suddenly did not allow me to enter data into spreadsheet cell. Then seemed OK when restarted staroffice but reported no room when I tried to save work. Then I fiddled w/ karchive which window SOMEtimes only show what I want archd. finally, I checked kdisk??? and surprise, hda3 was full to capcity. I dont know what to check.what could fill it up so fast? Now no X, no console on restart. X failed, else OK on shutdown. Anyone any idea? NOTE: I also installed kudzu early w/dependency properly linked.Runs OK evry start. Thanks in advance.

[expert] Pilot Problems
Hi, Sorry if this is a repost. I'm having problems syncing my Pilot under Linux. Of course, as if to spite me, it works just fine under Windows. I'm running hte developer install of Mandrake 7.1 with Helix Gnome 1.2 installed. I selected full installations for both Mandrake and Gnome. The rpms for pilot-link, gpilot and kpilot are all installed. I have done a chmod 666 to /dev/ttyS1 and am able to download pictures from my camera from that port without problems using gPhoto. When I try to use the GPilot Applet, I am walked thru the setup and I choose /dev/ttyS1, 9600 baud and indicate that I have synced the Pilot previously (I assume this is correct as I have Synced under Windows). When prompted, I hit the HotSync button and... nothing happens, the PIlot times out. I have disabled the timeout on the Pilot and let it attempt to Sync for ~10 minutes w/o success. I have also tried $ pilot-xfer /dev/ttyS1 -i foo.prc, and I get prompted to hit the Sync button - again the Pilot times out. Any thoughts? Thanks! m-

Hi, I'm having a hard time getting my Palm III to HotSync with Mandrake. I'm running the following: - Mandrake 7.1 Developer install, security medium - Helix Gnome 1.2 - Whatever versions of pilot-link, gpilotd and gpilot are installed by default (I'm at work) - Palm OS 3.1.1 I've set the permissions on /dev/ttyS1 to chmod 666 and I am able to download pictures from my digital camera without problem on that port. Using the PIlot Applet, I am walked thru a setup where I set the baud to 9600, select ttyS1 and indicate that I ahve synced the Pilot before (which I have done under Windows many times). Hit the HotSync button as directed and eventually the PIlot times out. I have tried disabling the timeout on the Pilot and let it go for >10 minutes w/o success. Thinking the gpilot software might be hosed, I have also tried using the pilot-xfer /dev/ttyS1 -i foo.prc and the same things has occured - namely nothing. Any help is appreciated - since I made the commitment to GnuCash a while ago, the Pilot is the only thing that keeps my using that othter OS. Matt

The only thing is that at the moment I've got the choice between using the Lucent winmodem, or using an old 14.4 Netcomm Roadster that seems to give me a maximum uptime of 10 minutes no matter what OS I use it with (seems to be worn out inside or something). I can't afford a new modem at the moment. I didn't buy the winmodem specifically for Linux or anything, it came with the computer. I certainly don't think that Linux distros should bend over backwards to support binary drivers, and I'd really love it if Lucent released the source, but the binary is all there is at the moment. So basically, it's use Windows, or get the modem working in Linux or else no Internet. I'm quite happy to fiddle with stuff to get it working (and so I have - put the 2.2.14 kernel into my MDK 7.1 install - enjoyed doing it actually, I haven't compiled a kernel in too long :-).

Well, I'm not sure who actually made mine, but it seems to have been made under the supervision of Gateway (at least they claim it was) - probably by the same Taiwanese co that made yours. :-) Hopefully Lucent will eventually just release the source. Could take a while I've gone back to the 2.2.14 kernel for the moment, which was actually an interesting experience - I wanted to keep the MDK 7.1 install, so downloaded the source direct from kernel.org and compiled - this of course broke the sound module, so I had to download it, and so on. Lot's of interesting configuration later, and everything pretty much works - still get a warning message at boot that /etc/conf.modules is newer than /lib/modules/2.2.14, but it lets me do it.

Those sync values are for a VGA ( 640x480 ) monitor and will not do 800x600.

Re: [expert] zenith monitor scan frequencies needed
This one sounds more like a hardware problem than a software problem. Try looking to see if there are controls for horz and vert on the back of it. A lot of older monitors had them externally. The newer ones do it from a superimposed control panel. If you can't find any, you could if you are brave enough and willing to risk a 20,000 volt arc start playing around with the controls on the back of the tube but I wouldn't recommend it. However a mister fix it in one of these small used computer parts stores might be able to do it for you. It really sounds like the guns are out of alignment and not exciting the full screen area.

[expert] KDE2
Hi! I've tried to install KDE2Beta2 on Mandrake 7.0. The only dependency problem I got is this: libkonsole.so.1 is needed by kdebase-1.91-1 But I was not man enough to find out what package I was missing. So I ignored deps and installed all of the packages. But does anybody know what package it is? The KDE and KDE2 konsole works fine. Problem 2 [espen@localhost ekt]$ kmail kmail: error in loading shared libraries: kmail: undefined symbol: _t24__default_alloc_template2b1i0.free_list [espen@localhost ekt]$ kword kword: error in loading shared libraries: kword: undefined symbol: _t24__default_alloc_template2b1i0.free_list [espen@localhost ekt]$ Launching the new kmail or kword gives the error message above? Has anyone on the list experienced the same? Is it just a bug one should expect in Beta or is it something I can do about it except downloading the newest version? Has it something to do with my dependency problem? Anyway I really look forward to when its finished, it's awesome already in beta. Especially Konqueror, its FAST! I'd really appreciate some help, though I'm not sure if this is the right list to put these questions on, perhaps I should sign up on a KDE2 mailing list? Espen
Re: [expert] Binding sound to $DISPLAY
Yes Allen, I read it too. It said to use e-sound you would probably have to use Gnome becuase KDE doesn't support it. Because of the connotation in the wording of probably having to use Gnome, I didn't bother pursuing the issue, and was hoping another solution came to light. Thanx for clarifying the e-sound/Gnome relationship, I will look into it further now I know the situation. Many Thanx..

Anyone here using rpm2html? I'm running it on my system to list a bunch of distros like Mandrake and RedHat and SuSE and more, but I also want to export my own RPMs to the list. All of my RPMs are in the /home/ftp/pub/custom subdirectories and I want to make RDF files out of them and put them into /home/httpd/html/RDF/freezerburn.

PPPoE is supported with Mandrake 7.1, the RPM should also work with the previous versions. http://rpmfind.net/linux/Mandrake/7.1/Mandrake/RPMS/rp-pppoe-1.7-1mdk.i586.rpm Jean-Michel Dault [EMAIL PROTECTED] On Mon, 19 Jun 2000, james.fogg wrote: > Date: Mon, 19 Jun 2000 13:10:38 -0400 > From: james.fogg <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> > Reply-To: [EMAIL PROTECTED] > To: "'[EMAIL PROTECTED]'" <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> > Subject: [expert] PPPoE and DSL > > I might be ready to hang myself. > > I live in a rural area of Pennsylvania, USA.

[expert] Named Server Freezeup?
I never thought this will come to pass but it seems it finally happened. But then again.. it might not. I have this problem with the BIND Server and after consultation with several resources, I cannot seems to find the damn problem.

RE: [expert] rc.local Starting Applications Under Specific User - How To?
This is how I start a half-life dedicated server from my rc scripts.
This can be modified to use for just about any application you wish to
run upon startup
near the end ofthe start case
#need to set/export the HLDIR for use with find/su
HLDIR=/home/hlds/hlds_l
export HLDS
#incae we crashed lets removethe old pid file from
#hlds_ld so we can start fresh
find $HLDIR -name "*.pid" -exec rm -f {} \;
echo "Starting Half-Life Dedicated Server"
# su over the hlds and kick off the server sending it to the background
su - hlds -c "$HLDIR/hlds_ld cstrike" &
near the end of the stop case
echo "Shutting down Half-Life dedicated server"
#find the hlds_ld process and kill it
#do not rely on pidof tcl seeing there might be other
#tcl proceses running
kill -9 `ps-ef | grep hlds_ld | grep -v grep | awk '{ print $2 }'`
#kill hlds_run via pidof, I only run one server so there is no
#need to check for other instances etc...
kill -9 `pidof hlds_run`
why do i do it like this?
well if you put the startup stuff in rc.local it will fire when the server
starts which is great, but it fires again during shutdown which is not great
;)
So, I modified /etc/rc.d/init.d/network and added the startup to the start
case ahd the shutdown to the stop case.
i also do not use pidof on hlds_ld seeing that the actual command is ran
through tcl, I did not think it would be wise to kill pidof tcl seeing I
might run other tcl proceeses which would cause problems.
The above has been running on my linux box for roughly 3 months now with no
issues.
regards,
Ron

The problem with this approach rather than su user -c "command" from
/etc/rc.d/rc.local is that you get a new instance with each login
shell. Since I frequently use 3-4 vc's, this would be impractical.

I found an answer at http://www.monitorworld.com/Monitors/zenith_data_systems/ZCM1490.html Model: ZCM1490 Max Resolution: Not Available Sync Type: Not Available H Freq/ V Freq: 31.5 khz/70 hz Tube Manufacturer: Not Available Monitor Type: Not Available Tube Model: Not Available Tube Size: 14" Connector: Not Available Although I still can't see the top and bottom portion in X-windows. I've tried the suggestions made so far. The zenith is only VGA and so I tried VGA16 server with 640x480 and the problem remains there. When I tried using 800x600 to fake it, it requires 35.15 khz and therefore hung. Maybe I should just get another monitor :( I was not expecting to use X on this server when I bought it. And the extra costs...yada-yada...the wife... Thanks... Dan.
