RE: [expert] cups not working properly
I'm running the stock konqueror from Enlightenment with the kde libs installed all from LM 7.2. (KDE 2.0.x). I have the same upgraded CUPS as you. I can print from Konqueror just fine. If you're printing off the page, your CUPS print driver is probably misconfigured. From the kups utility you can configure the driver with your paper size, resolution etc. You might also try a different driver ... each printer has several choices. Also Till setup a site with upgraded drivers which won't be part of Mandrake updates as they are not security related. I've had no need to try these however.

[expert] cups not working properly
I am running KDE 2.1, cups-1.1.4-7.1mdk I thought I had cups setup properly for my Epson Color Stylus 600. I can print out test pages and I just succeeded in printing (sort of) an email from kmail - sort of because it all ran off the top of the page and didn't print all the message text - all it produces is the KDE graphic and the From and To email addresses. Message body text isn't produced. In spite of this very limited "success" printing, I find it completely impossible to print from konqueror. I tried repeatedly to printout a webpage I was reading but nothing ever comes of it. I checked the cups error_log file and it contains: E [20/Dec/2000:21:20:20 -0700] PID 16396 crashed on signal 11! E [20/Dec/2000:21:20:20 -0700] PID 16397 stopped with status 1! This is produced each time I try to print from konqueror. So, cups isn't working properly. How does one fix this? Every time I attempt to print from konqueror, konqueror freezes up for about 30 or 40 seconds before cups gives up. -- Against stupidity, the gods themselves contend in vain --- praedor
Re: [expert] nekid mandrake?
It's not like Linux, specifically Mandrake, makes a BAD server, you can make a nice fast server with the right know how. OpenBSD just provides instant out-of-the-box security w/o the configuration [nightmares] you might go through to achieve the same on Mandrake. I choose mandrake over *BSD (Free/Open) because I like the larger support/innovative community, and I like LooknFeel of administering my box with Mandrake. Someday I'll fire up a BSD, but Mandrake is sufficient. --- Monte Milanuk <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> wrote: > On Wed, Dec 20, 2000 at 04:51:36PM -0700, Tom > Schutter wrote: > > As much as I like Mandrake, it is not the right > tool for your job. > > Use OpenBSD.

[expert] TCP/IP "stalling" in LM 7.2 -- HELP!!!
I just did a fresh Mandrake 7.2 install, which went rather smoothly (I thought), until I rebooted, logged in, and tried to do anything on the net. I have a cable hookup with static IP addressing. NIC is a CompaQ, Netelligent PCI 10/100 using the tlan driver. I am noticing that it takes almost 1 minute to retrieve a single e-mail message, and that when trying to load WEB pages or DL files, that the DL rate starts at about 3.5 Kbps but within seconds dramatically drops to perhaps 250 bps and then goes into a stall, and just sits there. This is not a Netscape only phenomenon, it occurs regardless of browser and e-mail/news package used. Right now I am totally stumped because I find NO I/O address or IRQ conflicts with any installed hardware, and have checked and rechecked my TCP/IP configuration only to find no errors there. I can shut down Linux, reboot the same box into OS/2 Warp4, and immediately get on the net and see DL speeds in excess of 200 Kbps. I did NOT have this problem using Mandrake 7.0-2 on this box and could (reluctantly) restore from tape, but I would prefer to get 7.2 running smoothly. If anyone can provide me with some insight into what I should be looking for and where, I'd appreciate it. I'd really like to get this straightened out, but I'm totally lost!

Hi all. I just upgraded to 7.2 and had a whole lot of trouble with with different services hanging during startup. Once I got things up and running, it seems that I can't reach the machine on any ports with incoming connections other than pinging. Is there anything fundamental about the switch to xinetd that I should know about WRT permissions and opening ports up for a general use web/mail server with ssh? Thanks much,. --chris

[expert] LM in big/complex scenarios
I was wondering if there is anyone out there who can relate an account (detailed if possible) of Linux-Mandrake in large and complex installs, like clustering (parallel processing, high availability), terminal server (LTSP, xterminals), or just distributed computing in general. I'm particularly interested in how you (or the people involved, if your story is second-hand) handled remote admin and the automation of such, like package management, user management, etc. Anyone using cfengine, or something similar? I only have a small home LAN, but I am interested in possibly incorporating some of the aspects into my little 'hive'. Also, it might be nice to accumulate such stories for reference use in dispelling the commonly perceived 'niche' of Linux-Mandrake as a 'desktop-only' or 'just for beginners' distribution.

[expert] Multisession cd writing.
Hello, I use Linux Mandrake version 7.2 in a computer which has the i810 chipset and a HP CD writer 9150 (9100 series). The cd writer was already installed by the time I installed Linux. The problem is that I have't been able to write more than two sessions in a disc. I have already read the CD-Writing HOWTO and the README.multi file distributed with the cdrecord program. No error message appears at any of the steps of creating the iso image with mkisofs and recording into disc with cdrecord. The third session simply doesn't appears listed after typing [promt]$ ls /mnt/cdrom2 file_name_first_session file_name_second_session The first time I tried to append a third session, a Windows machine was able to see the third file added to the disc, but Linux never did. In the following attempts neither Windows nor Linux were able to see it. cdrecord seems to write it fine, it even can retreive the first block number in the first track of the third session and the next writable address of the following unwritten session.

[expert] IRQ steering?
Anyone knows why is IRQ 5 chosen both for my eth0 (tulip, external card) driver and sound (maestro, on motherboard) on my Compaq Presario 5640/5670 when other interrupts are free: 4,6,7,9,10,11? How to steer away one of the units from IRQ 5 to avoid interrupt sharing? In the documentation to both the tulip and maestro driver I have not found any option to control the IRQ. What unit takes care of allocating IRQ's if the card driver does not require one, the kernel or the BIOS? The BIOS for this computer has very limited number of options, and as mentioned above the sound hardware is on the motherboard. Also only two PCI slots are available (one with the ethernet card, the other with a PCTV card, IRQ 3), so shuffling cards is not much to try.
[expert] SSH port forwarding
I need to setup an SSH tunnel that listens on a port, that redirects all data to 192.168.0.2:5901 (decrypted at this point). localhost is a Linux-Mandrake server with SSH installed. 192.168.0.2 is a Win98 machine. I have tried to configure SSH to forward the port, but to no avail. What command-line options do I use? Thanks in advance. -- Asheesh. (PS: I plan on using TeraTerm Pro to do the SSH forwarding for Windows clients. I'll still need the equiavalent command line arguments for 'nix SSH, though.)

Re: [expert] How does one get konqueror to work with java?
I got Mozilla to work. It CAN handle the javascript on the http://www.cores.utah.edu order sites. Konqueror cannot handle the javascript involved in placing a DNA sequencing order through these pages. Mozilla's problem dealt with the https pages involved, not the javascript. Even if you install the PSM, it will only work for root, not regular users. I posted this problem to Bugzilla and found that it was a duplicate of one other bug. The workaround is to make the psm directory (and possibly its contents) world read/writeable. After doing this, as a USER I can now use Mozilla to access the secure website required for placing the javascript orders the pages use. Konqueror does need some javascript support repairs. If IT could deal with the pages AND if kmail could do IMAP, then I wouldn't have need of Mozilla. As it is, I must use mozilla to place and review my DNA sequencing orders AND to access my IMAP email account at my school. I do not want to use fetchmail, which would be an workable intermediary between kmail and an imap server. Kmail NEEDS to be able to do imap itself. Anyway, Konqueror does indeed have javascript "issues" and if you want Mozilla to work with secure websites, you must make the PSM directory (/usr/local/mozilla/psm) world readable/writeable. A fix for this insecurity is due in future mozilla releases. On Tuesday 19 December 2000 16:47, you wrote: > > I don't understand this issue.

Don't think so. Now, for the longer answers: I've used DD many times for all sorts of cloning and backup schemes. Works great, just be sure you get the right device (/dev/hda, /dev/hda1, etc), and be aware of what you said and what you really meant ;-) For cloning an install, I assume you could use that disk that Mandrake offered to make so you could do just that - clone an install. But I doubt that it would clone any config changes you make AFTER the install. So, if you want to clone a post-installed configuration, the safest thing would be to buy 'n' identical hard drives, to be placed as /dev/hda (or /dev/sda, or whatever) on the target machine, with a second hard drive to be mounted as /whatever which may be different size but does not have any info you want cloned, install and configure one machine, dd-clone the /dev/hda drives, partition and format the /dev/hdb drives, install everything into the cloned machines, reboot, and off you go. I've not tried THIS approach, but it should work just fine. Another option would be to make /boot the identical size on all drives (and starting at the same location!), clone with dd that, and use tar on the rest I've not tried this 3rd approach, it may not work! rusty Rusty Carruth Email: [EMAIL PROTECTED] or [EMAIL PROTECTED] Voice: (480) 345-3621 SnailMail: Schlumberger ATE FAX: (480) 345-8793 7855 S.

For example: if I type in text field "m" cursor should be on the end of line, instead of this it is displayed somwhere in the s. In oposite of this if I type "iii" cursor is displayed far from iis. Only when I type "oo" cursor is on the right place. When I position cursor into text or select some text, strange "space" is displayed between characters. Have anybody this problem? What is the solution? I am running Mandrake 7.2. Martin Keep in touch with http://mandrakeforum.com: Subscribe the "[EMAIL PROTECTED]" mailing list.
