RE: [expert] Um...hello?
Oh its not just me then. I'd had nothing all day until this arrived. The SUSE list is still working fine though so I guess the problem must be at the Mandrake list server. Or else everybodies run out of things to say about Mandrake - doesn't seem very likely :-) Mike -Original Message- From: Mark Weaver [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED]] Sent: 23 August 2000 12:03 To: [EMAIL PROTECTED] Subject: [expert] Um...hello?

[expert] Installation problems on IBM DTLA-307045 Ultra DMA5 Harddrive
I tried to install Linux MDK 7.1 on a Gateway 2000 with a 900 MHz Athlon. The Bios version for the Gateway is 0AA SNP05. At boot up time the message from the Hard Disk is: IBM DTLA-307045 Ultra DMA5 BTW, this is a 45 GB drive. During the installation process everything goes fine until its time to set up the partitions then I get a message stating that there are no valid hard drives in my machine. I've installed MDK 7.1 on computers having UDMA Harddrives and assus motherboards having UDMA 66 hardware built in and everything works fine. So I'm surprised things don't work on the Gatewaye 2000. I've tried changing BIOS settings but nothing seemed to work. I'm also unsure exactly what UDMA 5 is. Has anybody seen this before? Also we tried installing windoze 2k and had basically the same problem. However, windoze 98 installs and works fine. Since win 2k and linux are BIOSless OS's and win 98 uses hardware BIOSes I'm guessing this is a BIOS issue with the harddrive but I don't know what to do besides change to a different harddrive. Does anybody have any suggestions?

UDMA 5 is ATA/100. You need to reset the drive to UDMA 4 (ATA/66), which usually is done through the drive manufacturer's proprietary software. Or perhaps you have a setting in the bios to make UDMA 4 the default. Steve Stephen B. Browne [EMAIL PROTECTED]

I don't believe the propriertary ATA/100 controllers built into your motherboard are yet supported by Linux - if your motherboard HAS ATA/100 controllers at all. You can run a drive set at ATA/100 on an ATA/66 (or ATA/33) controller; you just won't get the higher throughput. The problem addressed here is that Mandrake wouldn't complete installation because it doesn't recognize UDMA 5. For the sake of the installation the drive should be set at UDMA 4 or less.

I've downloaded all the other files it looks like I need (pci-scan.c, pci-scan.h, kern_compat.h), and I'm compiling natsemi.c using the instructions at the end of the source code (gcc -DMODULE -Wall -Wstrict-prototypes -O6 etc etc). My problem is that when I attempt to compile, I get about 400 lines of compiler error codes, which makes me think my gcc environment is not setup properly. The first few errors deal with string.h, regarding undeclared variables, variables being de-referenced, sizes not being set, and various things not matching prototypes. It gives errors on several other included files, such as coda.h. If it would be helpful, I can grab the errors next time and send them. Any help would be much appreciated. There is no makefile included in this process, and I'm (clearly) not much of a C/C++ expert. Thanks for you help, ian

[expert] KDE2 Beta 4: Kooldown
I noticed there was a new version of KDE2 beta (version 1.93) available at KDE.org. I guess it's kalled kooldown because it's the final beta before the September 4 release. Has anyone seen Mandrake RPMS for it? Amazingly enough, there are SUSE 6.4 RPMS available from ftp.kde.org, even though I couldn't find the source code! I could only find the 1.92 source code in the 2.0Beta4 directory. Weird, isn't it? What is a poor little Mandrake user to do? Should I just wait () for Mandrake to get the source and compile it with 586 optimizations? Should I grab from CVS? Can anyone else (please..?) make some packages for it? Oh, bother. (As Winnie the Pooh would have said.) Ideas, anyone? Packages? Source? CVS? Sincerely, Asheesh Laroia. -- 'fortune' output: Has everyone noticed that all the letters of the word "database" are typed with the left hand?

[expert] re-install, saving passwd/shadow files
I want to do a re-install, or upgrade to a newer version. I know to save /home to keep the current user directories and make sure that it is not re-formatted upon installation. Re-installing will create new /etc/passwd, /etc/shadow and /etc/group files. Can I copy back the current files after the install, and place them over the new files ? It seems that this should be ok as long as the UID/GID values are the same (or changed manually). However, are there other files (PAM ?) that we need to backup or replace ? How do others save their /home/users when doing a new install on top of an existing one ? Thanks... Dan.

Re: [expert] KDE2 Beta 4: Kooldown
If you are looking for the latest release I'm not sure if there have been any significant changes *but* if you are just looking for both versions there is a great site .. http://www.kde.org/kde1-and-kde2.html ... which explains the process for installing both. Also the page that this is a link from: http://us.mandrakesoft.com/~molnarc/192-2810/index.html ... has ALL the currently built RPMS as well as the qt stuff and src. If you are looking for the latest snapshot and they are not here your other option .. (although I get evil looks when I say this) is use another machine to install the src as you see fit, and then make you're own RPMS =o)j/k Hope this helps Lonny Selinger Asheesh Laroia <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> on 08/23/2000 11:40:08 AM Please respond to [EMAIL PROTECTED] To: [EMAIL PROTECTED] cc: (bcc: Lonny Selinger/SaskPower) Subject: Re: [expert] KDE2 Beta 4: Kooldown On Wed, 23 Aug 2000, Anton Graham wrote: > Submitted 23-Aug-00 by Asheesh Laroia: > > > What is a poor little Mandrake user to do?

Actually, it's %configure these days. Or, if that is broken for the
particular RPM, ./configure --prefix=%{_prefix}. Standardization :p

They were compiled that way, because cooker no longer contains kde1 (and
neither will mdk 7.2). We do have kde1 compatibility packages for those
non-kde2 compliant apps.

I understand where you're coming from. KDE2 *is* beta, and lots of pieces
of it crash fairly regularly (kcontrol is segfaulting at startup right now).
> Ah well. Maybe I'll see some more /opt RPMS sometime soon.
You may be able to convince Chris to package some that way, but he's been
very busy lately just keeping on top of the CVS snapshots.

lol. He probably had problems building the latest kdetoys. It's better to
not release it than release it in an unusable state.

If none of the suggestions so far helps, it would probably be helpful to include the contents of the httpd.conf file for people to inspect. (and the access.conf file, if that is separate).

I've got two copies of the Mandrake 7.1 CD, one from Maximum Linux mag and one from Linux Labs. In either case, when I try to boot from them, it gets past 2nd stage ram disk and config CDROM and then exits with signal 11. I had this with one of my 7.0 CDs but the other was OK.

Re: [expert] cgi-bin problems / file not found running perl/cgi script
I am curious about something. You earlier said: > > > > > > Since I can run a standard shellscript, located in the cgi-bin > directory, is > > > there a security situation I missed re perl scripts specifically? does this mean that you can access the apache server via a browser and cause a shell script located in the directory to be executed? Something like http://myhost.com/cgi-bin/shellscript ? But that http://myhost.com/cgi-bin/perlscript doesn't? If your perl is using libraries that aren't in the standard places, you might need to use the Apache SetEnv directive, something like SetEnv PERL5LIB /home/myhome/myperlstuff. Or alternatively PassEnv PERL5LIB to ensure that the existing PERL5LIB gets passed along. Also, recommend that you add the "-w" option , e.g. #!/usr/bin/perl -w This will cause perl warnings and errors to be printed to STDERR (which will be the Apache error_log for cgi operations). It may give you some more detail on problems specific to perl. Hmm, wait, perhaps this is it... (although I would doubt it, since the error message doesn't mention suexec...) The Mandrake v6.1 Apache installation comes with suexec enabled. Perhaps yours does too. If so, it places a number of restrictions on CGI scripts that may be tripping you up. Among the possibilities: if you are using Perl libraries that are found via the PERL5LIB environmental variable, then they probably aren't found because a lot of the environment doesn't get passed. Even the PATH variable gets set to some minimalist value. the directory cannot be writeable, etc. It would be easy enough to see if this is related to the problem. Temporarily rename /usr/sbin/suexec to something else, like /usr/sbin/suexec.not anyway, the suexec documentation is at /home/httpd/html/manual/suexec.html
[expert] Adobe acrobat plugin for netscape on LM 7.1
I was wondering if anyone successfully installed the acrobat plugin for netscape on LM 7.1. I just downloaded the binarie tarball from Adobe, and acrobat installs to /usr/local/Acrobat4, which is fine with me. Next I try and run the netscape script in .../Acrobat4/Browsers/ which is supposed to install the acrobat plugin. It first promts for the acrobat directory and then asks for the netscape directory. I change the default to /usr/lib/netscape since thats where the netscape files reside, but the scrip just returns an error. anyone have any pointers to get this to work? thanks Byron

able to get it to filter messages using procmail to appropriate mail
folders/dir's. I would appreciate hearing from anyone who may have a
setup which uses qmail's Maildir and filters using procmail with mutt as
thier mailreader. I subscribe to many mailing list and would like to
have seperate areas/folders for thier mail. eg:mandrake-expert ,
mandrake-devel , mutt-users etc.

For the sake of knowing "what" the problem was, can you report what the '-w' option told you in the error logs that helped you to solve the problem ?

By default the line "/etc/X11R6/bin/xhost + localhost" is my in /etc/X11/Xsession file that is run when X is started.

If it doesn't you need to grab at a minimum either one of these packages: libstdc++-devel-2.95.2-7mdk egcs-c++-1.1.2-28mdk If it does exist then maybe you're include directories aren't setup right.
