Re: [expert] ext3, reiserfs, and MDK 7.x?

[mike veltman]

Well I am running Reiser commercial for more then a year now.

And I have tested it in crisis situations.

:-) I love pusing the powerbutton on a full running system with gigs of 
databases.

And so far less problems then with ext2 where I got breakdowns in my file 
structures.

I've got this setup working now.  I have a separate rewrite rule in each
of the virtual host sections.  The trick to getting the proxy server to
know which virtual host it is serving is to preserve the host info in
the port, i.e., each virtual host gets it's own port.  Below is the
configuration that I am using.  For virtual host 1, I send the proxy
requests to port 8201.  For vh 2, I use 8202, etc.  I send all perl
scripts to the apache-mod_perl, though, of course, the rewrite rules
can be changed to just do perl scripts in a specific directory.

Re: [expert] Very Small Install

[John D. Kim]

I'm not sure what you are asking for.

If you want to install over a network where the cdrom is on another
machine on the network, you can look in "images" directory of the cdrom
and make a floppy of network.img.  This will let it install over ftp or
nfs.

If what you want is a working linux system that fits on a floppy, check
out tomsrtbt at www.toms.net/rb  It's a basic linux distribution that fits
in a floppy.  Has most necessary hardware drivers built in.

i have the logitech firstmouse plus USB. never have a prob at all with it 
cutting out. i have an Abit BX-6 II with an overclocked celery in it with all 
intel chipsets. ACPI is enabled as well as PNP with my resources set to AUTO. 
i have IRQ for USB and VGAenabled in the BIOS. are your USB host controllers 
perhaps VIA chipsets? i notice on some of my customers whose puters i've 
built with chaintech boards (built with VIA chipsets) that they have some 
probs with the USB in winblows. hope this helps..

i use it at work in linux. i do know that sometimes the rasspy proggie makes 
the zeros look like the capital letter "O" so check your pass first. (this 
was to the person who couldn't log in)

to the person who can log in but go nowhere or get disconnected. when i 
didn't put the password in right at first it would do the same thing with me 
"the ppp daemon has died unexpectedly" otherwise it works fine for me in 
redhat. in mandrake i had to do all kinds of funky stuff using ipchains to 
route packets from my machine to the DNS servers and vice versa and also 
route from my machine to the remote connection. when i did that it connected 
and browsed fine. i've done this with Juno, Blue light (as well as any of the 
other spinway services), and Netzero.

-x.

[expert] final straw with pppd

[root]

Some of you may recall a few recent discussion threads involving
stubborn pppd problems. I have had such a problem on one of the machines
I administer for several months now. The strangest part of this
particular problem is that the system worked fine for at least 6 weeks
before refusing to work any longer.

I have contacted the ISP, and they insist they have not made any changes
to their configuration, and given my past experience with them, I have
no choice but to believe them.

The machine is running Mandrake 6.1.

Summarized briefly - kppp can connect to the ISP, but when pppd is run
from the command line, the connection mysteriously dies before the
PAP handshake is even complete. I've been hammering away at this problem
for hours now, and I'm at a total loss.

I've inserted two sections of log output, along with the contents of
/etc/ppp/options and the chat script. Have a look at these and tell me
what you think.

Scenario 1: I connect with kppp - there is no /etc/options file. Here
are the contents of /var/log/messages. (This shows two connections)

No you aren't the only one. Mandrake 7.2 is exciting in what it is 
attempting to do, and I guess that if you fit an idealized hardware profile 
everything will most probably work. I have several unresolved problems but 
have enjoyed the experience. I had the luxury of being able to install it

Re: [expert] How to enable telnet in 7.2?

[Aaron M. Hirsch]

Exactly correct.  Insert your install CD and go into the RPMS directory. 
Scroll down to the telentdrpm and install it and you're worries should be
over.  Also you want to verify the your /etc/hosts.deny isn't setup for
ALL:ALL.  This will also keep people from being able to telnet into a box.

Good luck

I am running previews of glibc for Mdk from 2.1.97 i think, and not a hang.
Now I have 2.2-5mdk, and all works fine.

The only problem was gcc2.96. Initially it was a bag of bugs. It didn't 
compile the simpler thinks in C++. But the actual rpm works fine. And the
problem upgrading gcc+libstc++ is that you have to also update many programs
that use lbstdc++. So everything will work in an upgrade to the latest
cooker, but be prepared for a heavy session of rpm'ing. It's the cost of
being update-adict (like me).

I have just done this, manually. The only tricky step is partitioning the new
disk.
I have Mandrake 7.2, and I used DiskDrake to partition-format the drive. I
suppose RH has any GUI tool similar to do that. In the worst case, you would
have to use
fdisk/mkfs. The thing is to get your drive partitioned and mounted in, say,
/disk.
You can have a distinct partition scheme than your original drive. Just format
all your parts and mount them in their right point under /disk.
Say /dev/hda is your current disk, and /dev/hdb will be the new:

/dev/hdb1 ---> /disk
/dev/hdb5 ---> /disk/usr
/dev/hdb6 ---> /disk/usr/local
/dev/hdb7 ---> /disk/home

Copy all your dirs from your actual root to the future root, but WITH THE -a
flag
(so device files, links, dates and so on are preserved). All BUT /proc. Make
that dir manually with mkdir /disk/proc:
cp -a /bin /boot ... /var /disk

Make a boot disk with your current kernel (mkbootkdisk). If you have all your
mandatory stuff (disk drivers) in kernel, not modules, just
dd if=/boot/vmlinuz of=/dev/fd0.

Shut down, remove your old disk (or swap master and slave if they are ide, or
change
scsi ids to make the new disk seen before the old), boot with the floppy and
run lilo on the new disk.

The advantage of this method is that the partioning scheme does not have to be
equal to the old.

My Mandrake 7.2 boots up just fine from a cold boot.  But if I do a

Never happens with a cold boot (power off/on).

RE: [expert] Hard disk problems

First of all thank you all for your speedy and helpful responses.

Unfortunately, I do not have a copy of the Linux Journals, but I may be able to find a 
person who does.

Is the dd performed on a partition by partition basis using /dev/hda...(old disk 
source)  /dev/hdb...(new disk dest) ?

Oh... and it's an 8 GB disk. And I still didn't realise my mistake after I read this 
response, I was actually thinking that
20 GB must be on the way out. Even my very first system back in 92 had a 120 MByte 
Hard Disk !!!

It's worrying when a supposedly carefully written note contains mitsakes...

To see one way to rebuild your system, see my recent article on bare metal
restore at 79 Linux Journal 104.

What I want to know is how your 8 MB hard drive has lasted so long? I
don't know if you can get 20 MB hard drives any more. :-)

[expert] How to enable telnet in 7.2?

[Tom Eastman]

Sorry,

I hate having to ask stupid simple questions but I can't seem to work it out!

How do I allow people to telnet to my computer?

This is what is in my inetd.conf file:
#
# These are standard services.
#
ftp stream  tcp nowait  root/usr/sbin/tcpd  in.ftpd -l -a
telnet  stream  tcp nowait  root/usr/sbin/tcpd  in.telnetd
#   

telnet is uncommented... so why doesn't it work?

There must be something simple I'm missing... anyone have any ideas?

Thanks,
Tom

[expert] Glibc_2.2

[Ryan La Mothe]

I have a question...What is the deal with EVERY SINGLE RPM needing
Glibc_2.2?  What is exactly is the reason and how do I acquire Glibc_2.2
without seriously messing everything up on Linux?  This is ridiculous...I
can't even download 1 single RPM anymore, ANYWHERE without it being
dependant on Glibc_2.2.  Why hasn't Mandrake's website or something at least
made any mention of this fact/problem before I started wasting my valuable
time the past couple of weeks looking for tar.gz or src.rpm files so that I
could try and compile against LM 7.2 Glibc libraries instead of getting what
I truly need and needing Glibc_2.2?  What I want is a definite answer if
someone has it.  I am NOT going to compile source for anything at the

To see one way to rebuild your system, see my recent article on bare metal
restore at 79 Linux Journal 104.

What I want to know is how your 8 MB hard drive has lasted so long? I
don't know if you can get 20 MB hard drives any more. :-)

[expert] ISA ethernet card Tx timeout

[Jeremy Bishop]

After moving one of my computers from redhat 5.2 to Mandrake 7.1 I am
having problems with the ethernet card.

As the subject says, it's an ISA card, using the ne2k module. io and irq
are correct, as it detects the card and gives the correct MAC address.
pings to the machine's ip (192.168.1.2) work, pings to and from another
(192.168.1.1) do not work.  Before the upgrade it was fully functional.

I've seen some literature saying an older PCI card may have this
problem, and to use the ne.c instead of the ne2k-pci module.  So what
should I do if I'm already using the ne.c?

Thanks for any help

Re: [expert] Hard disk problems

[Denis HAVLIK]

Except for the fact that your machine is running RH, and not LM, I don't
see any reasons why you should not be able to do that. "dd" should be able
to do exactly what you have asked for.

If you feel that dd is too much for you, you can always opt for installing
some minimal linux install, just to get your new HD partitioned the easy
way, then erase everything which the installer put on new server and copy 
all the files from old HD to new one. 

When you are done, you'll have to fix /etc/fstab and /etc/lilo.conf, and
run lilo to get your bootloader in sync, but that's about it.

[expert] gaby anyone?

Hello,

I am trying to make a database using "Gaby" and I am having absolutely
no luck at all. Is there anyone on the list who is using gaby and knows
how to make fresh database?

I need the following database structure for our LUG:

Vendor
URL
Contact
Inventory
Value
Comments

I need it to be graphically searchable.

I have no clue how to make this work, and the documentation seems sparse
to say the least.

Please help

[expert] Mount Limit on Linux

[Tejinder Singh]

Dear Reader(s),

With my current set up of Linux, my hard drive is split into something like 6 
partitions.

One of these I have called /win and is formatted as a FAT16 >32 MByte partition.

When Linux first comes up and attempts to mount this one, it complains of unknown FS 
Type or too many mounts.

Has anyone come across this one. Is there a limit to the number of mounted file 
systems or is the partition not
formatted properly ?

Thanks for your time.

Tej..

Re: [expert] Problem with the print quality in 7.2

[Tom Berkley]

Interesting crash here after I tried this method with my 7.2 Mandrake
installation. I have an hp895Cxi inkjet printer connected to the usb
port on my abit bp6 board (ru bios). When I configured the printer and
ran a test print. The computer locked up (stopped responding). On
reboot, the printer started printing the test page but with a lot of
garbage characters throughout the output(got the same type of output
during the printer installation during the mandrake 7.2 install). In
addition I could not login. The graphical login screen refused to accept
the password input (ie nothing typed entered the password window which
usually shows asterisks when you type the password == weird!). After a
long session of trying to login (linux single, console login, ...
...) I just do not remember how I finally got in to the system, but
I did and deleted the print queue, deleted the files in the spooler,
shutdown cupsd, reconfigured the boot to not start cups and it'll be a
long time before I try that one again. 

The printer setup and the usb work just fine with win98se. Also usbview
shows the usb setup with the printer attached both in redhat 7.0 and
mandrake 7.2. 

I think that for now I will use samba to run the printer off a windows
box than to suffer through another ordeal with mandrake and cups. Great
idea cups, but it does have a few serious defects, yet.

[expert] Hard disk problems

[Tejinder Singh]

Dear reader(s),

I have a machine running RH Linux. It's taken me a long time and numerous package 
downloads to set this up just so...

The Linux machine now acts as an intranet server and provides access to the outside 
world for my other machines.

Anyway, that's the background, now for the problem:

Just lately I've started to notice a low frequency whirring sound when the machine is 
initially powered up. This remains
for about a minute and then goes. I'm diagnosing this as the beginning of a failure of 
my hard disk, the one with all the
Linux bits on it.

Ideally I would find the following course of action least daunting:

1) Buy a new hard drive. The existing one is 8 MByte. I would like a larger ~20MByte 
replacement.

2) Duplicate the contents if the existing drive on the new one. The new one may have 
extra partitions if the partitions on
it are exactly the same size as on the old disk.

3) Take out the old disk, or maybe even leave it in there as an extra disk and place 
the new one in as the main /dev/hda
boot disk.

4) Power On the PC and the system comes up exactly as it used to before the noise 
started (with some extra disk space).

Am I hoping for too much or is there a utility out there that can help me do this.

Thanks for reading this.

Tej..

Re: [expert] Netzero problems

[S. Newhouse]

The program is rasspy.exe

You can get it at 

http://rasspy.gq.nu/

You just unzip the package and put rasspy.exe into the Netzero
directory.

Then, you go to that directory in an MSDOS window and type 

rasspy.exe cmd=nzstart.exe

Netzero will start, but the encripted userid and password will
appear.  I did that and get far enough also to get the 

'kppp died unexpectedly'

The log file shows that it is because the peer is unauthorized as I
indicated before.

Is there anyone out there who uses netzero under Linux?

If so, how did you do it?

Re: [expert] 7.2 Sound problems

[Bruno Damour]

As I said earlier, it's exactly what _I_ did, I checked up IRQ/DMAs and just say 
OK but I got this message box with a STOP icon and only one OK button saying (I 
don't remember all and I'm not in front of it) :
"lib/modules/2.2.17/sb.o :_init_module() device or ressource busy"

then 2 other lines complaining. 

I guess it might be a problem with modules, but it's a brand new config from my 
install of yesterday night so in that case something must be broken in 7.2.

Yep, as I said, been there and done that.  Tried all permuations just to
make sure. NO effect, same bad sound when it works.  I am beginning to
think that the crystal audio drivers are just plain bad.  Does anyone
have a good audio card that Mandrake 7.2 can install by default that
works?

Apache works but PHP doesn't I just get the source.  I checked to
make sure that PHP was installed rpm -q php shows php 4.0.3***  I
checked the http.conf file and there is nothing there about php
except the default that is commented out.

what would be best, uninstall php and reinstall and hope it
installes correctly this time, of find a non-mandrake
apache-php-mysql setup and put this on,   I have already spent
more time trying to get mandrake to work than I spent updating
apache and adding mysql and php to a redhat machine.

In my case, I have two IBM HD's on the ATA66 channel (/dev/hde &
/dev/hdf)
which seems to be the problem. Don't know if EagleIce have two HD's too,
or
just one (ref. your reply to my post on [newbie])? :-)

 - Abit BE6-II (latest BIOS (UH))
 - Celeron 466
 - /dev/hde: IBM 30GB DTLA 307030 (ATA100)  (primary master, /boot)
   /dev/hdf: IBM 13.5GB   (ATA66)   (primary slave)
   (both are 7200rpm's, and not contaminated with Windoze)

Re: [expert] 7.2 Sound problems

[Linke, Thomas]

Hi,

you can also use DrakeConf , choose HardDrake. If the system detect the
soundcard you have a + in the first column, click on it and you see your card.
Click on the card,  in the right window are the preferences. Now you have a
button to start a configuration tool. Open it and check the values.

If you have edited that file you might have used a rubbish editor (like
early versions of
gxedit) that dont save the permissions correctly,.. its probably had the
executable flag
removed, or read access removed, you will need to edit the properties to put
them back to normal.

I have troubles to mount to new IDE Helios loaded on it. He did see some
of my old disk partitions not all. here is the document for 
fdisk  /dev/hd* -l

and
fdisk /dev/sd* -l

files as attached. 

He does mount sda* without problem but

hdb* 

can not be mounted. At the beginning he was saying bad superblock for
hdb1  after e2fsck.. he does mount but I can not see the disk directory
under /mnt after I mounted and when I do ls -la /mnt/Linux_hdb1 
ls: /mnt/Linux_hdb1: Input/Output error.

As I could not solve Netscape outgoing mail problem I do send this
e-mail from the old linux and machine.

Any help on I would appreciate very much.

[expert] 7.2 = loss of productivity

[Wayne Wilson]

Well, for whatever reason, after using 7.1 since it's onset, the move to
7.2 has been a disaster.  After the upgrade failed, I was forced to
install from scratch.  As I said previously, sound is so bad I am
turning it off in the BIOS.  Today, Helix-Gnome (something else I've
used on 7.1) has become unuseable.  Two things:  whenever I boot up,
somehow, the permissions in /etc/X11/gdm/Sessions for Gnome get changed
such that gdm login can't access Gnome!  I am tired of going to root at
every boot and changing those permissions.

Even more catastrophic was today, I launched one my standard X-window
apps from our servers, and the Windowing system just failed completely
and left me back at gdm login. Since Gnome was not available now, I
switched to KDE, and tried runing my X-app again. This time the
windowing system just hung with a blank screen, forcing me to re-boot
(and once again, Gnome is not a option - I think I get the message: use
KDE :)

  So Gnome is unuseable, X-Window seems problematical (is the Sawfish
windowing system broke in 7.2?), Sound doesn't work,  I can't come close
to my 7.1 system. Now I know you will all think I must be some kind of
idiot to have all these problems, but let me assure you that I had no
such problems in 7.1 and other than installing some applications (like
MIT Kerberos) and using standard customizations (like panel auto-hide),
everything is default from the installer process.  I have tried loading
all the updates available for Mandrake and Helix-Gnome, they don't
change this behavior at all.

Am I the only unfortunate person to have these kinds of problems?

Indeed odd, because I had made two fine installations earlyer. I did nothing 
out of the ordinary when I installed LM. This is a single box with Win98 & 
SuSE 7.0 on one harddisk. I frequently install different Linux distributions 
on this box and have never had this kind of problem before.

Probably unrelated, but the only time I have ever had a problem with Mandrake 
hanging during the boot sequence when I turned on hard drive optimizations 
during the install. 

What you could do is boot from the install CD, select the expert installation 
and go through the install until you get to the disk partitioning section. 
Hit alt-ctrl-f2 to get to a prompt, mount your root partition under /mnt, 
then chroot to /mnt. Then, make sure /etc/rc.sysinit is a symbolic link to 
/etc/rc.d/rc.sysinit and ensure the permissions on it are -rwxr-xr-x  root  
root.

Never heard of this happening before. Good luck...

I don't know what control center this is?  As I said, I can set all
those things via DrakConf running HardDrake, but it makes no
difference.  I can set the values correctly, but still every sound event
in the windowing system, every application that tries to use sound

[expert] serious boot problem with 7.2

[EagleIce]

Hello all Mandrake users!

I did send this mail some days ago to the 'newbie' list but didn't get a 
single reply so I try it here. At the time beeing I am unable to use Mandrake 
which I consider very sad because I like LM 7.2.

I am new to the Mandrake system but an experienced Linux user (SuSE, 
Caldera), I made two successful installations of Mandrake 7.2 and it worked 
perfectly. But now when I try to make a new installation the installation 
itself seems to work perfectly but on reboot everything just stops and the 
system hangs when trying to initiate with the /etc/re.sysinit file, all it's 
calls get the reply 'Permission Denied' and then everything stops.

I have tryed 5-6 different installations with the same results, a friend of
mine has had the same problem on different hardware and with different 
cd-rom's (he gave up Mandrake). I really liked the 7.2 Mandrake and would 
love to have it back as I had thought of using it on a course in Linux for 
new users (sic)
..
Can someone please help me with this?

Cheer's,
ei

in order to use netzero with linux you need to know the encrypted username

[expert] PhpGroupware not on the cds

When MDK 7.2 was announced, one of the features listed was phpgroupware from
www.phpgroupware.com
But as far as I can see the package does not seem to be on either of the
cds.

Anyone knows where to get the package? I could get it from the source at the
distro site, but I would like to see mandrakes package.

Cooker is the development version of LM and generally unstable.  It is
particularly so at present with the libraries being in flux and the current
use of gcc 2.96.

That said, if you don't want to run into compatibility
problems you should download the source RPMS and recompile locally as much
of contrib and most of cooker have now been built with libraries and a
compiler that are not part of your 7.x distribution and any c++ binaries
generated by gcc 2.96 are not binary compatible with 2.95.

I upgraded recently and dont' remember exactly the full set of dependencies,
but I am sure you must get glibc, glibc-devel, nscd, db1, db2l, db3 ans sash
and upgrade all at the same time:
rpm -U sash*
rpm -U glibc* nscd* db*, to avoid cyclic dependencies.

After a couple rpm upgrades, everything works fine.

Re: [expert] 7.2 Sound problems

[Bruno Damour]

Hello,

Well I think I tried everything because under 7.1 I used to go into DrakConf 
run the configuration tool for sound card and get the same screen asking for 
IRQ,DMAs, etc... with (like in the present case) DMAs set to 0 ; I coud select 
values for DMAs and if they weren't right the test sample couldn't be heard.
However, now I'm trying to do the same but it just displays a message box with a 
STOP icon and the OK button and the message I said... no test is done so far.
So I guesse something else must be wrong somewhere (modules ??)
BTW I am using (I think) Alsa...it must be a standard feature in LM 7.2 ?
What do you mean w/ control center (not KDE ?)

Thanks anyhow.

[expert] Upgrading glibc on MDK 7.2

[Tony K. Olsen]

Hi Everyone,

I am in the process of upgrading my MDK 7.2 default installation to allow 
me to run Enlightenment 0.16.5-1 (mdk.i586) but it requires the latest glibc-
2.2-5mdk.i586.rpm which I am about to install.

Before I do this does anybody have any suggestions.  I have had some 
minor problems and one major problem a few years ago when updating the 
libraries and hope to make this one go as smooth as possible.  Without 
testing I am pretty certain there will be some dependency issues :-)

Any suggestions greatly appreciated.  Thanks in advance.  Cheers.

P.S. this is the first time I have tried it using an *.rpm

Re: [expert] 7.2 Sound problems

[Linke, Thomas]

Hi,

I had the same problem,
try to go in the controlcenter and then information -> sound. Check the
I/O, IRQ, DMA . Set the right values depends on your card.

Re: [expert] 7.2 Sound problems

[Bruno Damour]

Hello Wayne,

I have also a sever problem with sound in my fresh install of LM 7.2 - I just 
have no sound whatsoever.
I tried to get into DiskDrake and my Sound Blaster 16 card is detected allright, 
but when I run the configuration tool it justs answers like you saw :
_initmodule : Device or ressource busy
Everything was working fine under LM 7.1 before...
What could be wrong ?

Anyone able to get realplay to work with www.cnn.com ?
At the page where it asks you to choose your streaming format, I don't
get any chance to make the choice.  My mouse won't click on the format
choices.  This does not happen in Windows.

Any ideas?

[expert] Mod_perl + Embperl&Mdk 7.2

[Antti Linno]

I tried to install machine with Apache,mod_perl and HTML-Embperl
capabilities. First I installed Mandrake 7.2 custom-development. I chose
apache, mod_perl, html-embperl etc.(perl modules). When I started up
interface showed httpd and httpd-perl coming up. Then I tried to check
localhost via browser, but none was there.

First question: How does one give machine name(localhost,whatever) if it
is not asked during install.

Ok, got tired of such scramble, and decided to install Apache+mod_perl
from source. Then I discovered that perl libraries are not where they
should be, so Apache won't install. (hmm, install new perl from source and
all modules that are needed :P) It said something about missing perl
headers that are needed to build mod_perl and Apache in one step.

Ok, so I changed to custom-server install. Installed stuff, apache etc.
During start shows httpd, httpd-perl, and even localhost exists if I look
at it through some browser. 
Now I wanted to use HTML-Embperl, and decided to modify httpd.conf. So I
added lines


DefaultType text/html
SetHandler perl-script
PerlHandler HTML::Embperl
Options +ExecCGI +Includes +Indexes
PerlSetEnv EMBPERL_ESCMODE 4
PerlSetenv EMBPERL_OPTIONS 16
AddType text/html .html


When I did configtest, it failed miserably, complaining about PerlHandler.

So, my second question is: How to use Embperl, if it is installed?
Where to write what?

Greetings,
Antti

Re: [expert] more crashes than the Indy 500.

[Tom Berkley]

had a similar problem with my abit bp6 smp mobo and had to update the
bios before the smp kernel would run without hanging in a similar
fashion to your box. The kernel.org 2.2.17 kernel compiled for smp would
work just fine however. Go figure. In the meantime consider you current
bios rev and evaluate whether you want or need to update it. Also
anything noted in the log files.
