I have configured my /etc/X11/glx.conf in what i think is reasonable (its all turned on),.. How do i get the x server to use the hardware acceleration of my card ?, and also how do i test that it is using it correctly. I dont seem to have an XF86_Accel x sever available and am a bit stuck.

Hello, I just had a machine go down on me yesterday. Kept giving me "no free space on drive" errors. It turned out that my /VAR partition was messed up, and after forcing a check, indeed it was full. I found a directory called MAIL inside /VAR/LOG that had THOUSANDS of files in it, taking up literally hundreds of megabytes. They appeared to be all log files from Postfix, my SMTP program. There has been lots of discussion on the list about the bug in logrotate. You should update logrotate. It also affected /var/log/news. My question #1: Why are these here, when I have my mail log as: /VAR/LOG/MAIL.LOG? That has been working fine. Why is there a second location that seems to be keeping log files forever? These files are created by the syslogd daemon. Question #2: I downloaded Tom's linux floppy, and created it. I booted this on my system, and tried using the fsck, as well as exfsck (not sure of exact syntax). Both programs reported that any drive I checked was not a ext2 file system (which they are), and would not go any further. I did: fsck /dev/hda7 Why didn't this work? I ended up forcing my Mandrake 7.1 to do a check during bootup by changing the year to 2001 and rebooting. It checked, fixed errors, and all was well. I had errors on two out of four partitions. I tried the fsck from Tom's disk on all four partitions, and it would not work. What did I do wrong?

[expert] KDE font problem w/7.2
I have done two installs of 7.2 on two machines, and have encountered several problems (e.g., printer setup during install never produces working printing). However, I now have a rather serious problem with fonts in KDE on one install, and wondered if anyone might have a suggestion Here's what happened: after booting up for the first time, was doing some file browsing (as root) and Konqueror hung so that I was forced to do a reset (no response to ctrl-alt-x's). When I came back up, all looked fine until I went into the KDE Control Center. It opened using a huge, weird font, which caused the windows to extend outside the desktop. Finally found (by going into LookandFeel | Fonts), that KDE is showing all its fonts as now set to ledfixed--and actually using these fonts. (This is for the root account.) I tried resetting them from the control panel, but this has not had any effect whatsoever (doing Apply has no effect, doing OK also has no effect, and if you go back into Fonts after having done an OK, all the fonts are reset to ledfixed.) I poked around in config files, but in .kderc I find exactly the fonts I want being listed (e.g., helvetica). These are not the fonts being used, however. I have not been able to find any reference to ledfixed in any of root's files. The other user account functions just fine, so this is something screwed up with KDE in root. So there has got to be some config file where this strange ledfixed font is written. I have not found it, however, and I do not understand why the Control Panel will not allow me to change the fonts and repair it. Any ideas on how to fix?? KDE is not usable right now for root.

apologies for the length, i normally fairly succinct ;-)
ordered 7.2 deluxe from uk source, it'll prob arrive before i
finish pulling the iso pair, now the updates
re kde upgrading
is it a problem from kde xx on 7.1 to kde 2 on 7.1
but not kde xx to kde 2 within a 7.2 setup
MAJOR (to me at least) BUG
somewhere "cd ~" seems to be executed
a) startx(KDE) in somedir
b) open xemacs
c) go to open a file
the file dialog has you in user $HOME
how do i stop this please?
why does it happen now
similar when open an xterm
minor bugs
1. printer install - after completing print test page screen, you get
another installing file picture with no text
2. no way to choose which of 2 physically fitted video cards ?
builtin agp on a plugin cpu card or a voodoo3 pci ?
3. similar problem, with via-rhine and 3c509 eth, via-rhine seems but fails
insmod
4. i install telnet, its a lan for 2 boxes at work, now i get
telnet server messages relating to localhost splashing on the screen
eg...
order 7.2 delux from uk source, re kde upgrdaemon.critmon[1428]: failure
for servers telnet 973606833 localhostat least) BUG
daemon.infomon[1428]: not aler6ing for failure of servers/telnet 9
5. pci kernel modules for arcom adc dig i/o cards, working ok
under 7.1 with 2.2.15
now it starts to get confusing..
tried looking at source code
what different for these two lines
a) 2.2.15 single + SMP
while ( ( PCI_Device = pci_find_device( VendorID, DeviceID, PCI_Device) ) )
{
.
}
compiles and functioning on a 7.1 box, only change prior to that 2.2.10 area
- a fair while back 1999 area??
b) 7.2 RC1 2.2.17
complies and hangs within this while statement
removed extra brackets, works properly.. reads the adc valves .. grand
all my installs are expert + develop + package select, i usually kill off emacs,
gnome, other desktops, palm pilot and most games, keep most of rest
thought i'll do another install, try hack-kernel..
tried compiling
screenfuls of complaints of syntax in the kernel headers
thought maybe you can't have hack-kernel and std mdk kernel at same time
off we go again
leave out hack-kernel, an hour passes.
same problem, ideas please
rpm -qa|grep devel|wc -l -43 for my 7.1
-168 for 7.2 -- seems a bit high almost...

Hello! I'm working on making Azerbaijani compatible keyboard based on trq_latin5 ( for my personal purposes for this time : why? for translating ). I worked on Xmodmap files (thanks Pablo). But result was not so fine. KDE settings seems better. And I decieded to try on KDE files. But problem is where I can find these files. Actually I found some compiled and script files such Kimap.* .

If the Xmodmap is the better way is any of you had a problem before on font hexadecimal codes: such ot showing fonts beyond 100 (FF).

The hard drive estimations were way off for me, I have a 10 gig drive and it told me there wasn't sufficiant space for 2mb's of pagages to install. That's what I experienced too. On the up side it did find my Umax scanner and the cdr. Both on the same scsi adapter. With SCSI you've a better chance at success. This is a server machine behind a firewall, so I was running NFS on it. It seems I have a problem with my portmapper that causes nfs to fail on load, so I am currently hammering away at that.

This machine acts as a server for me, providing storage space and print services for 2 linux and 1 windows client. So I do want to get these issues resolved soon. Also it is a reall pain in the put to work on the server, ssh doesn't work any more either, so I now have to sit in front of the machine and do the work. I would try that NFS solution too. On one other client, I did a fresh install of 7.2 and that seem's to have gone very well, except for 2 issues that I can see right now, I am afraid there will be more once I get into that machine. I can't configure the printer or mount nfs shares because the the server isn't well with the 7.2 upgrade and the videofor X is wacked out. I have a Trident Blade 3d card with 2 3dfx cards in SLI mode over there. The problem is the windows are skewed to the right, and anything from the center of the screen over repeats itself until it disappears off the visable screen area. I must say I am disappointed with with the upgrade script, it took way to long to run and the configured services that were working have now stopped because of it. I switched to Mandrake about a year ago and had been very pleased with it until this release. As much as I want kde2 on my main client, I am afraid to install or upgrade that client because I need it working out of the gun, I can't sit and fiddle with it for days to get it working again. That is a 7.1 install running a modified 2.2.16 kernel. I am wondering if I could get to 7.2 on that client, by doing a manual kernel upgrade (modified and compiled with the options I need), uninstalling kde, putting the cd in and doing an rpm --freshen, than manually installing kde2 and cups. Since I have never done that approach before I am unsure of what I will in for. You're right. I would never blow away the old install just like that. I was lucky to have a spare disk to do an install in parallel to my old and boy am I glad. I'm going back and forth between them 2 now to customize my new install. I don't think that upgrading the kernel is necessary if you don't need any special features. Kde2 was also my main reason for upgrading but you will loose a lot of configuration files for the apps and your desktop. Kppp luckily is able to use the old config files. But some apps compiled for kde1 won't work although qt1.44 is still on board and there's a package for kde1 compatibility. I would rather upgrade XFree86 since its quicker and less memory hungry with better mouse support too. I tried the tarballs from xfree86 since you exaclty know which ones you need from their docs and it was easy to get things installed and working. I find the way Mandrake splits up their packages is complicated and you don't know what's in them up front not to mention the dependency problems you encounter. It was virtually impossible to upgrade from 6.0 all this considered. Hi Jerry, I just did the same meaning I tried to install 7.2 from images I burned via that boot floppy and ran in exactly the same thing. The solution is to simply use the cdimage. It is able to make a reiser fs. But allthough 7.2 is very promissing and interesting, the installer is not. Your troubles won't be over just yet cause the installer is buggy in more than one field.

Re: [expert] VMware
What is Plex86? Plex86 is an open source (GPL, I think) alternative to VMWare. From the website (www.plex86.org): "The goal of the Plex86 project is to create an extensible open source PC virtualization software program which will allow PC and workstation users to run multiple operating systems concurrently on the same machine. Plex86 will run as much of the operating system and application software natively as possible, the rest being emulated by the PC virtualization monitor. A highly visible and often requested use, would be to allow for Windows software to be run inside of GNU/Linux or other UNIX like operating system. This gives users a migration path towards UNIX, allowing them to run legacy software until native ports or alternatives are available. It also provides a transitionary step for software vendors who plan to port their product to UNIX, but have not yet done so. Users could buy the Windows version product and run it at near native speeds on UNIX, using Plex86, until a UNIX native version is ready. By virtue of Plex86 being an open source project right from day one, Plex86 can also be an extremely useful tool for operating systems development, debugging, instrumentation and profiling. Many compile and run time options can be added, such that more control of the software being run inside the Plex86 environment can be offered to an OS developer, for instance. This will provide much more flexibility and control than is offered in a commercial product where you do not have access to the source code, such as VMware. " The project is still in a pre-release stage. Just a few weeks ago, they succeeded in booting Linux within Plex86.

Re: [expert] 7.2 update issue: problem with binary names
I don't meet the same problem with my 7.2 upgrade. It seems rpm scripts were not properly run (/usr/bin/gcc /usr/bin/emacs don't "belong" to any package, so they were set up by script). This is interesting as I've just checked both of my 7.2 installations and these files are right where you guys suggest but I've also got the symbolic links in their appropriate places. Guess it's magic but I need some luck going my way :-) Something wrong when a person starts responding to their own msgs but I just thought of something. Did you guys do an actual 7.2 upgrade? I always do a fresh install. I'm wondering whether this the problems you've identified aren't a result of application location change and thus something that's going to plague the upgrade path a lot as things are moved to their "proper" places in upcoming releases. What I mean by that is that if emacs was in /usr/bin with 7.0 and it was moved in 7.2 (likely scenario), it's likely that a new version of it would be put in place (that rpm opened and installed) before the upgrade script would delete the old version. The result would be that the symbolic link creation would fail (there'd be an emacs executable where the installer was trying to make a link) and thus you'd end up without the links in the proper place.

[expert] problems compiling pcmcia package on mdk7.2
Hi. I need to compile and install an earlier version of the pcmcia
package, because the one given with the 2.2.17mdk kernel has a bug for my
network card (it appears that the bug was introduced after pcmcia package
3.1.15).
I can succesfully compile the pcmcia package that comes with the kernel in
the 7.2 distribution, but when I try to compile ANY other pcmcia package
as given by David Hinds I get the following errors (after make all):

I tried to compile the package with different configuration options, but
the error is always the same. I tried also different pcmcia packages,
without luck.
Please help! I am leaving for a trip in a few days; I really need the
network card working, and my only chance is to "downgrade" the pcmcia
package to 3.1.15 (or upgrade if D. Hinds solves the problem meanwhile).
Thanks,

Re: [expert] Ping of death ?
fred expert 11/06/00 21:19 The ping of death attack sends a ping (ICMP echo) packet longer than 65,536 bytes. The huge ping packet causes an overflow in the recieving machine and sometimes crashes it. The vulnerability was discovered in 1996, so most operating systems have been patched by now. Linux has been immune to the ping of death since kernel 2.0.24. Windows NT4 was patched against it in service pack 2.

Re: [expert] new apache and mod_perl
On Wed, 25 Oct 2000, gene wrote: I tried installing apache-1.3.14-2mdk and apache-mod_perl-1.3.14_1.24-2mdk from cooker 7.2 beta last night. mod-perl is compiled directly into apache-mod_perl which runs as a proxy server alongside vanilla apache in this setup, unlike what I had been using where mod_perl was a loadable module in the main apache. Anyway, I couldn't get this new set up to work. When I tried to access a perl script, the server started spawning a huge number of threads that ground the computer to a halt. I tried to down-grade back to my old setup, but couldn't get that working, so right now I'm running mod_perl-less. You don't have to run mod_perl as a proxy. If you install both apache and apache-mod_perl, it runs as a proxy, but if you remove apache, you will get a straight apache+mod_perl server, with no SGI optimizations and FrontPage, and no SSL. I did this because there were so much conflicts in the patches that you wouldn't believe it. Using mod_perl as a module makes the server crash with Apache-ASP and HTML-Embperl. My setup is standard, as it's based on the mod_perl optimization pages on perl.apache.org. My questions are: Have other people gotten this setup to work? It works for most people. Maybe in the upgrade process, your config files got messed up. Remove all your Apache packages, rm -rf /etc/httpd, and re-install. Make sure you also re-install mm, the shared memory lib that Apache uses.

Re: [expert] Postfix filing up my /VAR!!!
fred expert 11/06/00 22:14 fred expert 11/06/00 21:01 fred expert 11/06/00 18:23 Hello, I just had a machine go down on me yesterday. Kept giving me "no free space on drive" errors. It turned out that my /VAR partition was messed up, and after forcing a check, indeed it was full. I found a directory called MAIL inside /VAR/LOG that had THOUSANDS of files in it, taking up literally hundreds of megabytes. They appeared to be all log files from Postfix, my SMTP program. My question #1: Why are these here, when I have my mail log as: /VAR/LOG/MAIL.LOG? That has been working fine. Why is there a second location that seems to be keeping log files forever? Question #2: I downloaded Tom's linux floppy, and created it. I booted this on my system, and tried using the fsck, as well as exfsck (not sure of exact syntax). Both programs reported that any drive I checked was not a ext2 file system (which they are), and would not go any further. I did: fsck /dev/hda7 Why didn't this work? I ended up forcing my Mandrake 7.1 to do a check during bootup by changing the year to 2001 and rebooting. It checked, fixed errors, and all was well. I had errors on two out of four partitions. I tried the fsck from Tom's disk on all four partitions, and it would not work. What did I do wrong? And more importantly, how do I turn off Postfix's creating additional log files in /var/log/mail/??? Bob Keep in touch with http://mandrakeforum.com: Subscribe the "[EMAIL PROTECTED]" mailing list.

Here is what I discovered: with the block-major-11 alias in, mounting /dev/cdrom (scd0) loads the ide-scsi module (nothing else), but I then get the "major number" error. If I comment out the block-major-11 alias, I get the same error, but the sr_mod module and the cdrom module are both loaded. If I manually load the ide-scsi module, I can mount the drive successfulyy. So, I need to play with the aliases in modules.conf some more, but I am close. Hope this helps in your quest. Thx...

But audio can't be played from my 2nd cdrom drive with e.g. kscd (well, it reads the tracks but when trying to play it says "ejected"). Neither does cdrecord see it when it scans the bus. With my previous MD6.0. I had it all working but I compiled the kernel myself. I even had parallell port scsi working to access my hp5200c scanner. This doesn't work either yet.

An IP datagram of 65536 bytes is illegal, but possible to create owing to the way the packet is fragmented (broken into chunks for transmission). When the fragments are reassembled at the other end into a complete packet, it overflows the buffer on some systems, causing problems Earlier versions of ping had this problem..but now I guess this is no longer an issue..there is a limit to tme maximum size of bytes that can be pinged Cheers Aravind S faisal wrote: Hey anyone know about ping of death ? what does it do ?

[expert] Can I use my Mandrake home for Debian?
I have about 9GB of unused space since I uninstalled Be. My home directory its own partition. Do you think it would hurt my Mandrake if I used is as my home in Debian. I have a backup of it on a seperate partition, and a compressed backup on a CD, but I'd like to not use those if possible.

Re: [expert] FlashPath adaptor

However, I am unable to transfer pictures from my digital camera using linux. In windose I use the supplied FlashPath adaptor which takes the smartmedia card and then inserted into the floppy drive. The FlashPath software then reads the smartmedia card and I just transfer the picture files onto the hard disk. Without the software installed the smartmedia card cannot be read. Has anybody solved the problem of how to get linux to read the adaptor? Can anybody point me in the right direction?

Re: [expert] Where is the 'HOSTNAME'?

Before it was set in the file 'HOSTNAME' in /etc directory, but in this new version, the file, 'HOSTNAME', does not exist in /etc. Did someone notice this? /etc/HOSTNAME is on my system. It's not created by default, when you configure your network, the file is created.
