[expert] Mandrake 7.2 freezing! (when using CUPS and games)
Hi, When I go to print from many applications - my computer completely freezes - it appears that CUPS / LP (?) often take up an enourmous slice of CPU time and stay there - meanwhile the hard drive is going wild and nothing gets printed. I eventually have to either wait a few minutes while a virtual console comes up so I can kill the offending process or just reboot the computer (urgh! Is this return-of-the-killer-windows or something?). It happens for some games also - such as 'space cup' that comes with Mandrake 7.2 - the computer just freezes. I am running a 128Mb PIII 450 IDE HD with a Diamond Viper 550 16mb graphics card. Any help greatly appreciated!!!

Re: [expert] locked /mnt dir
I could use that answer too. Same thing happened to me last night - trying to access my cdrom as a user, it told me I didn't have access rights. As root, I would simply get an input/output error message. I could mount and unmount cdrom but not access it (It was a supermount drive). I ended up editing fstab, changing the cdrom line from supermount to user mountable like the old kde-1.1.2 way. Later, damn thing, I changed it again to be supermount and it works again. Now I get to wait until the next time it randomly decides I have no access rights to it. I selected security level 3 during install so I would rather doubt it is some security lock-down thing... Is supermount broken in some way? I have had similar problems with a supermount zip drive. Don't know about the floppy since I rarely use it anyway.

Re: [expert]
I highly recommend buildkernel. You can get it from rpmfind. This is a nice, semiautomatic kernel-building script. Starting with a relatively simple command at the beginning (ie, "buildkernel --BKBUILDTYPE=bzImage --HOSTTYPE=i386" for instance), it will go through the process of downloading a kernel (default is latest stable but you can specify with --BKKERNELTOBUILD=2.2.17), doing all the make depend, etc, steps. It will then open up the kernel's makefile for you in pico (by default - you can specify another editor) so you can alter it if you wish (I usually just change the CFLAGS from ... -O2 to -O3, for instance). When you exit pico, it wil open up menuconfig for you so you can select specific kernel options. When you finish, you exit menuconfig and the kernel is built. After a few minutes, it completes and leaves messages on the screen so you can ensure that the kernel built properly. If everthing is cool, just hit enter and all the modules are built. That's essentially it. Once it is all done, you are presented with the lilo.conf file in pico so you can change the entry it automatically entered (I usually change the name of the kernel for lilo). Exit pico and you are done...just run lilo and reboot. I RARELY have had any problems - I have been building my specific kernels from bz2 files (no rpms) by this method since Redhat 5.1 through Mandrake 7.2. I highly recommend this little tool. Good for experts and novices. It automates many aspects of the build process without taking control out of your hands.

[expert] konqueror and javascript/java - problem
Related to an imap email problem I posted just prior to this message... I have two email accounts, one via work and one from uswest. Kmail handles my uswest account (pop3) no problem but it doesn't work with my work-provided imap account (inspite of setting it all up via kontrol-center). As a result, unless I install mozilla or netscape, which nicely handles imap, I need to access the work account via a web page. The problem is the web interface is Outlook and is laden with java. To use the interface, javascript and java must work. It doesn't with konqueror (but does with netscape or mozilla). I have javascript and java enabled, even have the IBM java1.3 jre installed, but all I can do with the web mail interface is login and see the list of emails. I am unable to read them. If I select a message to read, nothing happens - and this is a java-related problem. What does it take to make konqueror play nice with java pages and javascript? Why is it that netscape and mozilla do it very nicely but konqueror fails? Is anyone else stuck having to use an Outlook web-interface system to get their mail?

[expert] Kmail - can read - not send
Mandrake 7.0 Thought I had Kmail sending working by changing from SMTP to Sendmail. Wrong! The message transfers to the sent-mail folder but never is received. I don't know where it goes. It would be so convenient to use this rather than going to the internet and using either Netscape or Yahoo (both of which work ok sending and receiving). I also installed Mandrake 7.0 again - to a different partition, both installs working - and came up with the same results, testing the second install right away after setting up the internet connection and kmail, so I'm reasonably sure it's not something I screwed up.

I ran xf86config by hand and it produced the same output that is already in XF86Config-4, no additional parameters for specific refresh rates were evident. when I startx, however, my monitor reports it is running at 85Hz. How can I force this thing to do 100Hz @ 1024x768? Thanks, Phil R Lawrence Keep in touch with http://mandrakeforum.com: Subscribe the "[EMAIL PROTECTED]" mailing list. _ Get more from the Web.

Re: [expert]
Wow. Now this is the kind of help we can all use. Thanks. I'll give that a try as soon as I shovel out my driveway. Cheers On Tuesday 12 December 2000 11:57 am, you wrote: I'm debating on compiling it this evening, just to try out, any specific tips on how I could compile and install it without killing my existing kernel install? It easy to make sure you don't clobber the old install with a few precautions. First, check /usr/src/ for a linux directory. If it is a sym link, unlink it. If it is an actual directory, mv it to something else like linux-2.2.16 or whatever you will remember. Grab the source tarball untar the new source in /usr/src. It should make a linux directory, if not make a sym link to it. Also check /lib/modules, there should be a directory named after the version number. Make a copy or move this directory. It shouldn't conflict but better to have a back up. As this is your first compile, I recommend using the X menu config. Start X as root, open a terminal and cd into /usr/src/linux and type make xconfig. This is probably the easiest way to navigate the different option. Help is there for most choices, and the interface isn't too bad. Once done, make dep, then make bzImage, make modules, make modules_install are the commands necessary to make everything. Copy the bzImage from /usr/src/linux/arch/i386/boot to your /boot directory and name it something meaningful like vmlilnuz-2.2.18. Copy the System.map from /usr/src/linux to your /boot directory and name it something meaningful like System.map-2.2.18. Edit /etc/lilo.conf, copy and pasting the current linux listing should work, plug in the right vmlinuz name, change the label and save. Run lilo -v -t to test the lilo additions, and subtract the -t to make the changes. Reboot and type in the new label. This way, if the new kernel panics, acts funny, you just reboot and run the old kernel. Most every linux box I build has at least one failsafe kernel, usually the last stable one. If you like the way the new kernel is running and want to make it the default kernel to boot lilo, just edit the default="label" line in lilo.conf. Your new kernel becomes default and the failsafe is still around in case something gets hosed well in the future. Enough with the long and rambling, there is also tell of a HOWTO on mandrakeuser.org.

Re: [expert] can't set video refresh
do those extra mode lines work with version 4.0 or is it just limited to the old versions? I never noticed any difference. -Original Message- From: Amit Bapat [EMAIL PROTECTED] To: [EMAIL PROTECTED] [EMAIL PROTECTED] Date: Tuesday, December 12, 2000 4:01 PM Subject: Re: [expert] can't set video refresh This is how I did when I had similar problem. Install XF 3.3.6 and then look at the Modeline in the /etc/X11/XF86Config for the 1024x768 @ 100Hz modeline. Cut and paste this Modeline in your XF86Config-4 config file. Other option: Start XF 3.3.6 and fireup xvidtune. Note down all the values. Then start XF4 and start xvidtune and adjust all the values to the ones noted. and then generate a Modeline. Use this mode line in your XF86Config-4.

[expert] Postfix - YIKES!
Up until now I have not had Postfix running, simply because I didn't really need it. Alas, today I decided to start it so that root could be notified of system-related things via email. WELL HOLY CRAP!! It seems as though cron sends out an email every time it completes a job. This really sucks because at the moment I have a fetchmail job running every five minutes to get my mail from the local ISP mail server. How can I stop cron from sending email? Thanks... -Chris Keep in touch with http://mandrakeforum.com: Subscribe the "[EMAIL PROTECTED]" mailing list.
