Note the output (xx.pl is your script copy/pasted into it, chmod 711)... # the following 3 commands give the same output [DW] $ perl xx.pl [DW] $ ./xx.pl [DW] $ perl xx2.pl Content-type: text/html Hello, world!

I uploaded it to Windows, zipped, downloaded it back (xx2.pl.zip), unzipped it to give me xx2.pl ;) Figured it out ? That's right, ftp'ing a zip file and unzipping it on Linux will retain the Windows end-of-line markers (CR/LF). *nix only uses LF (newline). If you use vi/vim on xx2.pl, you'll see a '[dos]' comment in the status line (bottom). If you use 'cat -v xx2.pl', you'll see the '^M' at the end. If you compare xx.pl and xx2.pl by using 'od =a xx.pl' and 'od -a xx.pl2', you'll see 'cr' in xx2.pl . So how do we convert it ? You could gzip your file, upload to windows, unzip it, download the unzipped file, and then ./xx2.pl will work (chmod 711). You could go to rpmfind.net and look for dos2unix.rpm (and unix2dos) files. However I prefer to do this simple trick [DW] $ tr -d '\r' xx2ok.pl [DW] $ chmod 711 xx2ok.pl [DW] $ ./xx2ok.pl Moral of the story... if you download zip files onto Linux, be sure to use unzip -a file # see: man unzip Or unzip on windows, and then your ftp program will convert line endings on text files.

Re: [expert] processor family
Just do a uname -a. It will tell you which processor family it is. I have a AMD-K6-500 which is i586 (So yours probably to). I once tried to install i686.rpm packages but rpm refused it because I it was complaining about invalid architecture. I believe it is possible to put K6 i.s.o. i586 or something like that in your configuration file but I never tried that. I never compile the kernel anymore because it is almost all modules now and everything works 100% for me without compiling. I just install the binary kernel/modules.

You do NOT need the latest glibc from cooker or the latest gcc2.96 > compiler. FUD does not help. Nuff said. Not fud, it is a factual description of what is happening with my system. As for gcc, you do not NEED to have gcc but then, you will not be doing any compiling if you don't have it. I have a fully updated 7.1 system. I have menu-2.1.5-43mdk installed. That is as high as I can go without upgrading glibc to 2.1.95 (or higher). The problem? OK, installing qt2, the updated one that is required for kde 2.0 results in this: qt2 ## var/tmp/rpm-tmp.59425: line 2: 14222 Segmentation fault (core dumped) /usr/bin/update-menus qt2-devel ## var/tmp/rpm-tmp.93066: line 1: 14224 Segmentation fault (core dumped) /usr/bin/update-menus This problem is with menu. If menu-2.1.5-36mdk is not ok, and menu-2.1.5-43mdk is not ok, and menu-2.1.5-43mdk is not ok (I have gone thru each and every one of them trying to fix THIS particular problem), then that leaves one more possibility... menu-4.0. Menu-4.0 REQUIRES glibc-2.1.95. Glibc-2.1.95 WILL screw up your system UNLESS you are already running 7.2beta or Cooker. Neither of these is a logical nor reasonable system to run if you want ANY reliability. They are betas and even alphas for a reason. They are NOT finished products. They DO have problems yet to be worked out. I get the above errors also installing most of the kde 2.0 rpms. The resulting kde setup is buggy as hell. KDM starts up and works...sortof. I can get to kde and gnome, but I cannot get to failsafe. The kde session I get is all but useless. There are icons on the desktop, as per normal, harddrive/mount icons, printer icon, startup folder icon, home icon, trash icon, etc. Not a one of the drive icons works. Clicking on them neither mounts the drive nor opens the kfm file browser to see what is on the mount. Instead, a dialog comes up asking what app I want to use to open it (!?). The kmenu contains some items in it and half of them are non-functional INSPITE of the fact that they are installed. The run item in the kmenu is totally non-functional. Entering ANY command results in no action whatsoever. The panel settings menu item does absolutely nothing. For further evidence, there is the FACT that all but one or two sites have removed the rpms for kde 2.0 from them. That is a stone-cold, undeniable fact. Yesterday, after the announcement of the release, the rpms were EVERYWHERE. Today, they are hard to come by. There is very likely a good reason for that. There is nothing bizarre about my system. It is Mandrake 7.1 with updates brought on via MandrakeUpdate. There are few items built by myself WITHOUT error and installed without error and they work perfectly (the kernel, for instance). There is no FUD here, only objective description of what I see. It matches what some others have indicated themselves in this mailing list. It also matches well with what you can find in newsgroups. Cooker, as of this evening (and last I checked) no longer carries kde-2.0 rpms. It is kde-1.99. Mandrake 7.2beta doesn't carry them. I do not believe I saw 2.0 rpms in rawhide either (and it was there previously). The 2.0 rpms are no longer in MOST of the kde mirror sites. They were in all of them yesterday (I checked a large number of them as I tried to find a site that was available). praedor Keep in touch with http://mandrakeforum.com: Subscribe the "[EMAIL PROTECTED]" mailing list.

[expert] Software RAID on root fs
Hello,
I am planning on Trying to configure my linux box as a (Software) RAID 1 box.
The only problem I saw was that you cannot just make your root filesystem
("/") as a RAID. Why is that (what's the point of having RAID if your root
filesystem is not redundant).
I noticed that there are several work arounds on the internet. Has anyone
ever tried this? Please let me know. Any information on (software) RAID is
welcome because I never did this before.

[expert] Wordperfect 2000 and 7.1
I've got Mandrake 7.1 running, and I've installed Wordperfect 2000 Deluxe (using the new install script from the web site), but I have two problems. First, there's no real useful information about how to configure a printer. Does anyone have any advice on how to do it? When I first installed WP on UNIX, it was in about 1991 on Solaris (actually, it might have been SunOS), and at the time, printer support was so bad I had to write a shell script to read /etc/printcap and convert it into the internal WP printer config file format. We also had over 200 printers on the network, too. :-) I don't mind hacking up the config files, if that's what it takes. Second, every so often, when I exit Wordperfect, the entire system hangs hard, and requires a power cycle to fix it. If I want that kind of reliablility, I'll use Windows. Has anyone else run into this, and, if so, have the found a fix? Cheers, Phil Keep in touch with http://mandrakeforum.com: Subscribe the "[EMAIL PROTECTED]" mailing list.

When I did the attempt, the indications were that it would REPLACE your kde-1.1.2. In my experience, it did replace everything except kdebase-1.1.2. EVERYTHING else was replaced. This led to a double kdebase which was real screwy. I uninstalled the kdebase-1.1.2 manually and reinstalled kde 2.0. It worked better, such as that goes, but it was nearly useless.

Re: [expert] Perl scripts won't work???
from the command line type which perl and make sure you have the correct path
in your script.
Try running the program from your web browser (assuming your webserver is
properly set up).
As a side note for a cgi script I'd recommend using CGI.pm.
with cgi.pm this script would become
#!/usr/bin/perl -w
use strict;
use CGI;
my $q = new CGI;
print $q->header(),
$q->start_html(-title=>'Hello world!'),
$q->h1('Hello world'),
$q->end_html;
neater and cleaner without here docs.
CGI.pm is an awseome module It gives great insight into learning basic object
use in perl.

[expert] Perl scripts won't work???
Hey, so I'm having a weird problem maybe someone can help me with. I have a simple perl script named test.cgi that generates html (ie a cgi script) which looks like #!/usr/bin/perl # hello.pl -- my first perl script! print "Content-type: text/html\n\n"; print <<"EOF"; Hello, world! Hello, world! EOF If I type "perl test.cgi" (minus the quotes) the perl script runs. If I type "./test.cgi" I got the error "bash: ./test.cgi: No such file or directory" If I remove the #!/usr/bin/perl line from the beginning of the perl script and "./test.cgi" again it runs but gives a lot of file not found errors. I'm guessing that somewhere there is an environment variable I am missing or something... I have perl 5.6 installed and Mandrake 7.1 with the 2.2.16 kernel. Any suggestions???

The launcher icons don't point to anything and most of the KDE > apps are missing from the menu. I can't help you with your compile problems but as for kde 2.0final. I do believe it is major-league broken. If you check you will also see that almost EVERY single site that had the rpms yesterday no longer have them. There are only a couple of sites that still has them and I'll bet they vanish soon too. The drive icons don't do anything. Instead of opening up the drive, you get a menu asking what you want to open it will (no mounting, nothing). A number of the entries in the kmenu, when you actually get them, don't work. The "run" command in the menu, as far as I can tell, doesn't work either. Enter ANY command you want in the run window and it will not do anything. Broken. Big, bad broken. Useless broken. The announcement of the final was premature. I am now kde-less after trying to play with kde 2.0 "final". I am not willing to go back and reinstall all of the 1.1.2 rpms yet AGAIN so it looks like it is gnome from here on out. If kde 2.0 isn't fixed and available soon (and if it REQUIRES one to run a beta version of Mandrake), then I may just get so used to gnome that I never go back. On a side note... One should not HAVE to run a beta distribution in order to run a non-beta, stable app like KDE 2.0 is _supposed_ to be. I am presuming at this point that it was widely discovered to be REALLY dicked up and thus it was pulled and that a fixed version will soon appear. How terribly embarrassing and what bad press they will end up with making an announcement that the STABLE and FINAL KDE 2.0 is now available only to find that it is VERY screwed up package. That is something one expects from M$. Message to Mandrake: do not make the STABLE version of KDE 2.0 dependent upon BETA level libs and an otherwise BETA system.

Re: [expert] Niiiiice. Kill off kde STABLE 2.0 immediately
Thanks. It still also resides in SOME (very few) kde mirrors. Here's the big question...did you actually install it and get it working? After downloading and installing, all was wrong with the world. First, installing it, even with menu-3.0.5-43mdk installed, it segfaults during the rpm install on /usr/bin/upgrade-menus. Both qt2 and kde rpms segfault it. Once it IS all installed, the system is broken. SOME things work, most do not. Looking deeper into it, even though I got NO dependency missing messages, it appears that you HAVE to "upgrade" just about every rpm on your system to 7.2beta or Cooker level - all because you need to upgrade menu, apparently, even beyond menu-2.1.5-43mdk, because of the segfaults on upgrade-menus. To upgrade menu, to 4.0, which is all that is left, you must upgrade glibc to glibc-2.1.95 or 2.1.96. Doing THIS will break all the other rpms on your system, so you must upgrade them as well. It APPEARS that the "stable" kde 2.0 cannot be used except on an unstable, beta-only distro like 7.2beta or Cooker. There is a README I read on one mirror yesterday that indicated you could run kde 2.0 on other mandrake versions, but you had to upgrade a few rpms (pam, menu, a COUPLE others). Problem is, it is NOT a few rpms. As I described above, to "simply" upgrade menu alone requires an entire cascade of other upgrades to satisfy dependencies. At least with RedHat, though they offer glibc-2.1.95 (and 2.1.96) they ALSO have a glibc-compat rpm NOT for OLD glibc, but for the previous glibc that was in RedHat 6.2, which is essentially 2.1.3. No such beast exists for Mandrake so if you upgrade glibc to upgrade menu to install kde 2.0, you break everything. In for a penny, in for a pound. praedor philomena wrote: > > here's one... > > http://ftp.sourceforge.net/pub/mirrors/kde/stable/2.0/distribution/rpm/Mandrake/ > > Praedor Tempus wrote: > > > > Real nice.

I've reinstalled mandrake-desk, setup, and initscripts and it still doesn't look the way it did when i first installed. The launcher icons don't point to anything and most of the KDE apps are missing from the menu.

Re: [expert] Perl scripts won't work???
When writting perl script my first line also includes a -w like so: #!/usr/bin/perl -w This very important switch tells Perl to produce extra warning messages about potentiallydangerous constracts. You should always develop your programs under -w See Learning Perl(O'Reilly)2nd edition page 5. By the program runs for me with out any problems.

It turns out that you will have to upgrade almost everything. To install and use kde 2.0, you need to upgrade rpm and menu. These upgrades require glibc to be upgraded to THE latest (and by some accounts, broken) version. THIS breaks almost every app on your system so you also have to upgrade them (just download the latest glibc-2.96 or whatever it is and try to install it WITHOUT using the --nodeps or --force switch, you will get a LONG list of rpms that will be broken if you install it. These rpms are the same ones you would have to upgrade). I am debated breaking my stable 7.1 system just for the sake of using kde 2.0. You have to essentially make your system an unstable cooker or 7.2beta system to make all things right. praedor Keep in touch with http://mandrakeforum.com: Subscribe the "[EMAIL PROTECTED]" mailing list.

[expert] ssh problems
I have sshd running on my home system (mandrake 7.1) and can connect to it from work. I am connected as I write this. I am having a problem. I connected from work and wanted to ftp from my home box to site to download files to my home box. I can get into my home system but I cannot get out. If I run "ping " I get nothing. If I try to ftp to some site, nothing happens. Looking at my /var/log/messages I see (altered to protect the innocent): Oct 24 10:09:26 localhost sshd[2144]: Could not reverse map address 155.*.*.*. This is from my ping attempt. Is this inability to get out from my home box via ANY method an sshd configuration problem or is it an ISP problem? I cannot even ping the address from which I am connected to my home box...I get a similar message as above in the log about not being able to reverse map my address. Anyone? I was trying to use lynx and ncftp to connect to some site and download the source to kde-2.0 to my home system and get it compiling. I can't get out at all. praedor A Keep in touch with http://mandrakeforum.com: Subscribe the "[EMAIL PROTECTED]" mailing list.

Re: [expert] LM 7.2 and beyond (part 2)
One thing to fix. If the X window installation goofs, then the install process is broken. There doesn't seem to be any way to switch to a text mode at that point. (Well, ok, this was an install of somebody else. But the point is important anyway.) X window locked up solid. This needs to be guarded against. There needs to be a reasonable way through this, so that at least a non-graphical install can be completed. -- (c) Charles Hixson -- Addition of advertisements or hyperlinks to products specifically prohibited Keep in touch with http://mandrakeforum.com: Subscribe the "[EMAIL PROTECTED]" mailing list.

I think that all you have to do is a "xhost +" from the xserver. Once you did this, what I usually do is starting an xterm on the remote machine : xterm -display ip.xserver.net:0 And you will be able to run any apps on the remote machine from the xterm.

[expert] HPLX 200 sync in linux?
I own (and cannot live without) a palmtop computer called an HPLX 200. Unlike the wince stuff out there, this runs on dos and can therefore run all sorts of dos apps (even wordperfect and the like). With 32 MB ram it has been essential to me. To back it up to my pc I use a DOS utility called cpack which backs it through my com 1 port. (There also is a windows version which I do not use). Now that I am moving into the linux world (Mandrake 7.1) does anyone else know of a way to backup this palmtop to a linux box through the serial port, either a) by running cpack under linux? b) in some other file transfer way?

RE: [expert] kde2 on Mandrake 7.1
There are a bunch: htdig, pam, qt-2.2.1, openssl, menu, mandrake_desk, bzip2, rpm-3.0.5 (at least for rc2, you may need 4.0 since mandrake built their rpms againist 7.2 beta), I know there are more, but there is a good start. I ended up rpm -e all kde 1.1.2 files and installing the tar files for rc2. I havent had a chance to install the rpm's (or try) from mandrake for kde2 final.

Re: [expert] Help please
Aravind, Um...what I first responded to this post I wasn't having any trouble with RH 7.0, however, as the day wore on everything on the system went down the toilet. I use Mandrake 7.1 on my home machine, but decided to take a look at RedHat 7.0 on my workstation at work. At any rate what you're experiencing, or rather what your friend is experiencing with Netscape is an old problem. A bus error that as far as I've seen has been finally addressed and fixed. I haven't seen a release for RedHat, but I'm fairly certain that you can install the Mandrake RPM and install it on your RedHat system. The version you will want to try is Netscape-communicator-4.75-8mdk.i586.rpm and Netscape-common-4.75-8mdk.i586.rpm. You can find these on the Mandrake Cooker ftp site. I'm not sure if they're up on rpmfind.net or not. you may want to take a look there to see. they may be. At any rate you're looking for 4.75-8. -- Mark /* I never worry about the to-jams. * Once I've stuck my foot in my mouth * it's already too late...just make sure * you chew them thoroughly before swallowing! */ Registered Linux user #182496 * Pine 4.21 * On Mon, 23 Oct 2000 4:20pm ,Aravind Sadagopan spake passionately in a message: > Hi Guys, >I know this is a wrong place to ask this question..but the problem is > I dont use Redhat but my friend had this problem..If anyone has an idea > ..please help > > >I have had problems with my mail from netscape 4.75 under >RedHat 7.0. > >Basically, if I log in as a normal user, start netscape, and >go to the > > >address book, netscape crashes.

Re: [expert] raid / reiserfs
I am not sure if you're going to have any luck with hardware raid, espescially with cards like this. I hope you have researched this well (read the relevant HOWTOs, kernel docs etc) and are sure that your kernel supports it. If you do have success setting up the raid, maybe you would want to write a short bit up on it. Once the raid is set up (be it hardware or software) the filesystem shouldn't know a thing about it. It's probably best not to put your root on the raid (without reading the ROOT-RAID-HOWTO) Buchan P.S. From what I can remember, the Promise ATA->RAID hack is the addition of the right resistor in the right place (which will cost you about 5c).

Re: [expert] Re: Digest for list expert
If you just killed X and kept running like that, init will try and
restart (x|k|g)dm periodically. You probably need to become root, then
type "init 3" to change to a runlevel where init won't try and restart
X. Then fix X (using XFDrake, Xconfigurator, XF86Config - in this order
preferably). If you can then start X again, try changin run-levels back
to 5, "init 5" as root, and if it works, all is well.

Re: [expert] CGI problem after PHP4 install
Andy, Apache.org has the answers that you need. There is a configuration option to define cgi-bin as a sub under the root of the web server. by defining: ScriptAlias /cgi-bin/ ///cgi-bin/ and restarting Apache, you will be able to then use /cgi-bin/ to execute CGIs Deven Phillips, CISSP Network Architect Viata Online, Inc.

Re: [expert] Running X apps locally from remote host
Definitions: $server = External IP of your computer $AIX = External IP of AIX machine If you want, you can use bash's export command to make the following more literal. Lo and behold. Logged onto $server, type: xhost +$AIX That lets your machine accept X connections from $AIX. Log into $AIX and set the DISPLAY variable, then run your GUI program. For example, export DISPLAY=$server:0 gedit Have a blast. Add a "&" to the end of the GUI program's name and see what happens. Good luck. -- Asheesh.

[expert] Removables stopped automounting with kde
For some strange reason the floppy and cd-rom icons on my kde desktop stopped working correctly. They no longer automatically mount the device when they are clicked. The devices (floppy and cd-rom) can be manually mounted via the mount command and then viewed correctly via the kde icons for them. Anyone know what would cause this failure and how might I fix it?

[expert] CGI problem after PHP4 install
I installed PHP4 on my computer from the source files. First I removed PHP3, then installed PHP4. Now the computer can't find the cgi-bin to run perl scripts. I am running 7.0 and PHP4 works fine. I remember that I did get a warning about cgi or perl at the end of the configure. I just took a phpinfo() from php3 and found the "configure commands" to install PHP4. Does anyone know what this could be with the limited amount I have here? Should I try to reinstall the PHP3 rpms or mod_perl or something like that? I can't seen to find anything that would help me in php.ini or httpd.conf. Any help would be sincerely appreciated.
