Re: [expert] 3com 3c90x
John, I have checked the logs, no probs. They show eth0, lo, network, route suceeded just fine. I have run ifconfig, and here I only get the lo showing up, with no mention of the card(etho). I have run "netstat eth0" and seen its alive.. ) I have run ifup eth0 and gotten the following: siocsifflages: No such device sioaddrt: Network is down sioaddrt: Network is unreachable I have had similar problems on occasion. I have resolved it by checking that the ethernet cables are securely attached (computer end and hub/switch). Try a different cable if you have one (or borrow one). Otherwise, the problem has been that the network card got loose in the computer. Try re-seating it in its' PCI slot (pull it out and make sure it goes in snug). Of course you need to do this with the computer off, and grounding yourself (keep a body part touching the metal case) before messing around with the inside parts. Thanks... Dan.

[expert] Getting two networks cards to work under the same module!
I have recently pieced together an old Pentium 100 with 32MB of RAM and 2.9gigs of hard drive space to serve as a file and print server for a Mac. I installed Mandrake 7.1, reduced the installation to approx. 300 MB. Just the bare bones of the Mandrake distro, no KDE and no GNOME pure text based interface!! I choose Mandrake 7.1 as my distro because it allowed me to choose individual software packages to install onto the computer. This way I saved on wasted disk space and increased the amount of available shared disk space. The majority of the hardware was detected and setup during the installation process. I'm only having problems seting up both of the Network cards. The computer has one Data-Link DE-220 ISA and another Data-Link DE-250 ISA. ( NE 2000 Compatibles ) Both of these cards IRQ's and I/O's are configured through DOS (real mode) based software. To configure the cards I created an MS-DOS boot disk that loaded the configuration software into a RAMDISK and then executed the program. The DE220 is configured to IRQ 11 and I/O 0x300 while the DE250 is configured to IRQ 10 and I/O 0x280. Now, I'm running into problems getting the kernel ( 2.2.15 ) to detect both network cards under the same module ( NE ). I edited the /etc/conf.modules as shown below: (thanks to the writers of the Linux-Ethernet-HOWTO) alias eth0 ne alias eth1 ne options ne io=0x300 irq=11 options ne io=0x280 irq=10 I can modprobe eth0 and get it working but I cannot get the second NIC (eth1) to be recognized by the kernel. How do you configure these arguments to recognize two NIC under the same module?? And do I have to pass the "ether" armument to the kernel at boot time to get both of these NICs working under the same module??

Re: [expert] CP command
Submitted 14-Nov-00 by Ronnie Whipp: cp works just fine for that; Yes, if you want to copy real files (not symlinks) and don't care about the permissions, then backing up/copying to a FAT file system is fine. But the additional information required for links and permissions is not present in a FAT file system. I also have my ISP primarily installed in W98, but I access the mail directories and address book from linux via soft links. Right, but the symlinks are not on the FAT partition, they only refence files on the FAT partition. Didn't work properly under LM7.0, as all the directories in the dos partition had 0755 permissions, but with 7.1 they're 0777. Matter of mounting options. I installed using 'Welcome to Crackers'security and added passwds later, if that makes any difference.

Re: [expert] Databases for newbies help
If you plan to do any future work on databases, I'd say stick with MySQL or Postgres. At least then you will get a standard intro to SQL in general. One option you might look into is Abriasoft's SQL-lite. It comes bundled up with MySQL, Apache and PHPMySQLAdmin. they have a free downloadable version at www.abriasoft.com. You can get the same software elsewhere, or already on your Mandrake CD's, but this gets you up and running pretty quickly. The hardest part of MySQL is getting the users setup properly. PHPMySQLAdmin gives you a browser based GUI tool. There are other GUI's also. If you tell me what fields you want, I'll build up a database for you, and send it as a dump file you can feed into MySQL. Sounds like just 1 table from your description, or maybe 2.

All this was done via etherdrakemaybe it doesnt work. I believe I read that ifconfig should report both the lo and eth0? And that if it doesnt, there may be an IRQ mismatch?

I gather that MDK 7.2 is supposed to support this card, but I was interested in getting more info from people that have been successful before I tried to install it.

So, any pointers would be much appreciated. In addition to trying it with MDK 7.2, I may want to get it working under 7.1 (still my main system). Is there any way to use any of the files on the 7.2 CD to accomplish this, or what would be the best way to proceed?

Re: [expert] CDROM inoperable for audio only in new MD7.2 (kscd problem?).
Zelck, Guy [EMAIL PROTECTED] wrote: After my fresh 7.2 install, which didn't go smooth but succeeded at last, I have this anoying cdrom problem. Using data cds is no problem and even supermount works perfectly. The trouble starts when I want to use a cd-player (kscd in my case, the only one installed by default). ... However, if I push play, I immediately get the msg. "ejected". In the messages-log I get the error you typically get when you try to mount an audio cd. Then the cdplayer shows ready again, then ejected (with the same error in the log file) and this goes on till I exit the player. I tried umounting the supermounted drive but it stays the same. I tried remaking the devices with MAKEDEV but nothing. More bizare is that if I direct my player to use the cd-writer drive (/dev/scd0), this works without a flaw. Of course, I don't hear shit since that one's not connected to the audo card! I just wanted to point out that my CD player does not function quite properly under kscd either. When you first start kscd, it works fine, but after you stop a disk playing for the first time, the play button no longer works. You push it and 00:00 comes up for an instant, then nothing. Interestingly, if you push the track skip buttons, this will get it to start playing (and move tracks). I started having this trouble under MDK 7.1 when I bought a newer, faster Memorex CDROM. It appears that kscd is not sending what the CD wants to see to start playing. You might try using gtcd. It works fine with my CDROM. It does not seem to be listed on the KDE menu, but was installed.

[expert] Printer setup woes
HI,
I've had less than stellar success trying to set up printers in Mandrake
7.1. Maybe someone has some ideas for me:
- First off, is it a good idea to use printtool to configure a printer? If
not, that may be the source of my problem.
- I added a SMB printer and I eventually had to go deep into the filter
scripts to find out that the filter scripts expected SAMBA 1.x installed.
I had to manually fix the call to smbprint filter to remove the
-E ${hostip:+-I} option to the smbprint command. It took me some time to
figure this one out.
- I now need to add another queue to a network printer. The printer has an
IP address and you're supposed to be able to print to it directly. Doesn't
seem to work for me and I'm not sure qhy yet. I'm hoping someone can help.
What happens is that when I print, I get no errors. But when I do an lpq,
I get:
myhost: no space on remote; waiting for queue to drain
Rank Owner Job Files Total Size
0 bytes
No entries
I've no idea what this means. I tried lpr -s to keep the file spooled on my
machine, but the job just stays there and nothing happens. Eventually, lpq
starts returning:
myhost: : Warning: no daemon present
Rank Owner Job Files Total Size
0 bytes
No entries
As I said before, I used printtool to add the printer because it didn't look
like Mandrake's printer setup tool supported adding a network printer (it's
stand alone and isn't connected to a print server).
I'm thinking it's a Mandrake problem because someone else here has a Red Hat
6.2 installation and he can print correctly, using printtool to set up his
prointer.
Can anyone help?

See under Application link in the ALSA page (www.alsa-project.org). BTW: it is even more hard to understand the logical structure of the mixer. For example, gamix (and a home-made text program to show all channels with alsa-lib), show that there are 4 main volume controls, grouped in 2 groups (till here, logic, L-R front and L-R back), but there is also a Main Mono Volume, one other pair of controls for something called 'Rear', and more things I don't see what are designed for.

I'm running named as a caching name server and it is very verbose. It leaves many messages in my logs. First of all, I don't understand them, but they don't seem very important. More importantly, is there a way to tone down the verbosity of named?

[expert] System vanishes from console login
I'm still trying to figure out why my 7.0 install hangs - all 6 consoles going blank 1 second after the console login appears. Only the 3 fingered salute provides a response. I think I found something (in /var/log/messages). This means I searched the WRONG /var/log/messages last time :-(. Can someone tell me what it means, (besides the fact that I'm thick ;-) and how I should sort out the system?

[expert] ext3, reiserfs, and MDK 7.x?
Hi everyone. While not really a professional sysadmin, fortune has dictated that I run several servers that, to the people that they are running for, are in "production" mode. I have had really good luck to date (that would be the past 5 years), but I am now getting pretty interested in using a journaling file system. A few questions: 1. Is the advanced file system mentioned in the Mandrake installation Reiser? 2. What is the status of running ext3 on an existing Mdk installation? I have found some stuff about v 0.0.3 and it involved some kernel patching. If I am just running plain old 7.1 with ext2 what would be involved in getting it up to ext3? 3. Am I right in thinking that once you are running ext2, there is no way to convert those volumes to reiserFS? Sorry if these questions seem pretty basic, I spend most of my time running internet services and once a box is up and running I normally give no thought to the hardware or file system.

Re: [expert] ext3, reiserfs, and MDK 7.x?
hi, There may be others more "expert" than me about this, but I have tried Reiserfs on Mandrake 7.1. Anyway, as far as I know: 1) I don't know what "advanced file system" means, although Reiserfs is a good guess. 2) ext3 is not ready for production use, but you can try it by patching and rebuilding the kernel. 3) You can't convert a ext2 partition to reiserfs, what you do is back up all the data on the partition and unmount it, then create a reiserfs file system (thus blowing away the data) then update /etc/fstab to add the partition as reiserfs, then copy all the data back. Reiserfs is excellent if you have a large partition with lots of small files, since its performance is on par with ext2 in reading small files, and performs a little slower than ext2 when reading large files (but with the added benefit of journaling).

Re: [expert] Getting two networks cards to work under the same module!
It seems to me that the original poster "must" use the "options" keyword in his /etc/modules.conf file because he is using an NE2000 (or compatible) ISA NIC card, which requires you to give address IRQ information. I also have 2 NIC cards in my machine at home, but I only have 1 NE2000 compatible ISA NIC card (the other is a PCI non-NE2000). I would try: options eth0 io=0x300 irq=11 options eth1 io=0x280 irq=10 which should work since eth0 eth1 are aliases (according to the man page for modules.conf). Good luck.

I had no worries (once I found out how to) getting this working under Mdk 7.1 via the XF86_FBdev server, the machine booted to the 1024x768 display at boot and all worked well. Now, with 7.2, I can't get better than 640x480. The install fails (breaks refuses to complete with the error 'Can't call method "set_active" on an undefined value' if I try to configure the frame buffer server at install. If I manually configure it later, the best I can get is 640x480. Even copying the XF86Config from the working 7.1 install only gives me 640x480 7.1 install used to ask if I wanted to detect PCI devices and I could say no there, and specify it manually, but 7.2 doesn't give me that option, it simply asks for monitor and resolution, then tells me that won't work and lets me choose then. But if I choose the FBdev server (as per 7.1), specify the laptop 1024x768 panel and hit test, it refuses to test without me specifying a resolution (7.1 used to just save this setup and continue without testing) and when I click resolution, it produces the above error. Help please! I really like the look of 7.2 and would love to have it full screen! Trevor Keep in touch with http://mandrakeforum.com: Subscribe the "[EMAIL PROTECTED]" mailing list.

Re: [expert] Using a network tape drive?
Hi, Tar does work as you say, although I got a "permission denied" when I tried it. I was trying to figure out how to give myself permission, and the best I can figure is that Solaris will play nice if the clients are registered in NIS+, or at least that is the impression I got from reading their documentation. I don't have NIS+ set up on the Solaris box, and it doesn't seem like a fun thing to do. Other references say that rsh and rexec are useful for streaming data from a remote tape unit. Then again, other references say NEVER use rsh or rexec, because they are inherently insecure. What I need is actually different than running tar or dump. I want to read data tapes containing satellite images into an image processing program running on the Linux box. The image processing program is set up to read specific image formats from a local tape device. So ideally, I want to fool the program into thinking that a remote tape unit is local. If that 's not possible, I might have to temporarily remove the drive from the Solaris box and put it on the linux box.

[expert] io error
I recently used mount to mount a shared windows folder on my linux box using the command 'mount -t smbfs -o username=*,password=* //tib/c /xchnge/'. everything worked fine until I powercycled the windows box without unmounting the /xchnge point. Now I always get an io error whenever anything touches it. I've tried umount, fuser, and anything else I could think of in order to remove or unmount it, it's already been removed from /etc/mtab but that apparently had no effect. the only thing it ever puts out is either 'device or resource busy' or 'io error'.

Thanks for all of your help, I finally managed to get both of these clones working properly.

Re: [expert] switchdesk
You do not need the switchdesk command anymore if you use a graphical login.

That is not true about rpm if you compile from source. Its just a limitation of your knowledge about rpms.

Re: [expert] Printer setup woes

HI,
I've had less than stellar success trying to set up printers in Mandrake
7.1. Maybe someone has some ideas for me:
- First off, is it a good idea to use printtool to configure a printer? If
not, that may be the source of my problem.
- I added a SMB printer and I eventually had to go deep into the filter
scripts to find out that the filter scripts expected SAMBA 1.x installed.
I had to manually fix the call to smbprint filter to remove the
-E ${hostip:+-I} option to the smbprint command. It took me some time to
figure this one out.
- I now need to add another queue to a network printer. The printer has an
IP address and you're supposed to be able to print to it directly. Doesn't
seem to work for me and I'm not sure qhy yet. I'm hoping someone can help.
What happens is that when I print, I get no errors. But when I do an lpq,
I get:
myhost: no space on remote; waiting for queue to drain
Rank Owner Job Files Total Size
0 bytes
No entries
I've no idea what this means. I tried lpr -s to keep the file spooled on my
machine, but the job just stays there and nothing happens. Eventually, lpq
starts returning:
myhost: : Warning: no daemon present
Rank Owner Job Files Total Size
0 bytes
No entries
As I said before, I used printtool to add the printer because it didn't look
like Mandrake's printer setup tool supported adding a network printer (it's
stand alone and isn't connected to a print server).
I'm thinking it's a Mandrake problem because someone else here has a Red Hat
6.2 installation and he can print correctly, using printtool to set up his
prointer.
Can anyone help?

Re: [expert] Dell Notebooks and Mandrake 7.2
Can't speak to 7.2 yet but 7.1 runs very well on my Inspiron 7000.

Other than that, its a rock solid combination. Dell uses the maestro 2 sound card in the laptops. Its marginal for sound quality but it works just fine now that the kernel has a maestro-2 driver. supermount works without a hitch and so do all the other aspects of the pcmcia - just plug n play.
