I am dual booting with Win2k and I have installed 2k and Mandrake in different combinations and times and the 2k loader has never shown up. I have even installed 2k when Mandrake is already on the HD and the 2k loader has never even tried to overwrite the MBR. I use LILO to boot my sytem!

[expert] glibc and reboot (con't)
I wrote earlier about an accidental reboot while upgrading glibc. Someone suggested using --force. Good idea, but didn't work. Someone else suggested trying to --rebuilddb, which I proceeded to try. My machine rebooted during the rebuild. This time I am absolutely certain that no one touched the reboot switch. The system rebooted itself. AFAIK, there were no power problems or any other external cause for a reboot. Also, I wonder now if I really did hit the reboot switch during the original glibc upgrade. I thought it possible at the time and accepted it as an explaination only because it seemed much more likely than a spontaneous reboot. So this is either a software problem or a hardware problem. Unfortunately, the problems don't end there. Fsck found errors on my /var partition that required fixing from single user mode. Of course, several rpm libs were listed as having problems. fsck fixed the filesystem stuff, but now I wonder just how screwed up my rpm setup is. This is coming to you from WindowMaker, so any damage that there might be doesn't seem to be affecting daily usage. Any ideas where to start sorting this out? Could it be a simple problem of overheating causing a reboot? (can that happen?)

[expert] Broken Samba Printing....
Hi! I am attempting to help get a Samba server that was permitted to run out of space on its hard drive back up and running. To make some room on the / directory and to give the spool files some elbow room I copied /tmp and /var to subdirectories that were on another partition (in this case under /home), recursively deleted everything in /tmp and /var under root, and then created symbolic links to /tmp and /var in the / directory from the appropriate directories on /home. Most services have stopped crashing, the system seems pretty stable at the moment, and samba is serving files to the networked Windows workstations. I just have one problem, the print jobs from the Windows workstations aren't winding up in the appropriate samba print queues. I have tested and I can print to the printers from the Linux box itself via the print queues that the Windows boxes are supposed to have attached to. Whenever I try to print on one of the Windows boxes I get an unidentified system error and a stalled print job. I am guessing that I accidentally changed the ownership or privileges of one of the files (or perhaps many of the files) in the var or tmp directories and the samba daimon isn't able to hand off to the print queues. Has anyone ever been here, done that, and discovered what needs to be fixed? -- Traci Collins http://www.rof.net/wp/tcollins/traci.html

It is guaranteed that it generates correct code. For 2.95.2, probably it makes no mistake, but IS NOT GUARANTEED. That means that most of the things will work, but perhaps in your particular setup you use a driver that is miscompiled by 2.95. And 2.96 is the same, its optimizer was horribly broken (I saw a test in kernel list that showed 3 lines of C code that when optimized-reorganized by gcc-2.96 produced INCORRECT assembler results like first using a variable and after this asigning the initial value). But the state of 2.96 is much much better now, so you can even trust a bit on it to compile a kernel. The fact is (as I have seen in the kernel list) that when 2.96 is guaranteed not to be buggy, will produce better code than egcs and 2.95. In mandrake case, the better setup is to have gcc-cpp, gcc, gcc-c++, libstdc++ and libstdc++-devel (and if you need it, g77 or objective c) from the 2.96 version. And it you do no trust 2.96 to build kernels, install egcs and egcs-cpp (just those two packages, no egcs-c++ nor any egcs-x more). egcs installs a binary called kgcc, that recent kernels can detect and use to build kernels. -- J.A.

Re: [expert] building, using a boot image driver
David, Thank you very much for your help. I really appreciate your feedback. You are helping me move forward. Are you sure that the *Redhat boot image* cannot be used with Mandrake. LSI techs described this image as a *driver update image* rather than a *boot image* and said that if an *update driver* install option was available in Mandrake that the *driver update image* should work. My head spins when I read about all this stuff--still green. The Whole Story -- I am continuing to work on getting Mandrake 7.2 Complete installed. I have tried the install mode *text expert* several times yesterday and today. It does fail in a different place than the *all* and *recommended* modes of install that can be used after pressing F1 from initial install screen. Looks like install goes into endless loop! In *text expert* mode I am able to choose the *Symbios 53c8xx* driver (I choose the 53c8xx driver because the NCR53c8xx driver was listed as *NCR 53c8xx PCI* but I do not have a PCI card just the onboard LSI SCSI chip), then use autoprobe to setup driver and verify with Alt-F3 that no error are occuring. (thanks for your tip on ALT-F3) Two messages that show have the insmod command you mentioned: *running: /bin/insmod /modules/scsi_mod.o *running: /bin/insmod /modules/sym53c8xx.o At this point the GUI displies: Cannot mount /dev/scd0 And the text output from Alt-F3 is an endless loop of these messages (do not know which message is first of group)(used Ctrl-s and Ctrl-q to stop and restart message stream) *PCI bridge probe: *not found *Intel PCIC probe: *not found *Databook TCiC-2 probe: *not found What to do? What to do? I called Tyan (motherboard manufacturer) and LSI (SCSI manufacturer). Tyan told me to recompile the kernel with LSI drivers which did not make sence since I could select the appropriate driver during install. Next, called LSI and they said the sym53c8xx driver that ships with LM 7.2 is old and needs to be updated to get install working with Tyan S1867DU3LAN motherboard and onboard 53C1010-33. What a story! I wish Mandrake had an *update driver* option like Redhat 7.0. I wish there was generic solution to installing updated drivers on Linux! (during install) Are you sure that the *Redhat boot image* cannot be used with Mandrake. LSI described this image a *driver update image* rather than a *boot image* and said that if an *update driver* install option was available in Mandrake that the *driver update image* should work? I did make floppies out of other.img LSI image by using rawrite utils on LM 7.2 CD (works ok on Windows 2000) but can see any use for them. The expert and text expert install modes give no clue as to using these images and I got no more info from linuxdoc type searches. Think I will go get Redhat 7.0 and give it a try...At least until next Mandrake comes out.

However, i think that it is not so hard to write a cmdline shellscript for do the upgrade for you. The gui version of update uses wget to fetch the rpms and the standard gnu posix utilites (grep, etc) to determine if there is a new rpm file on the update site. With these tools, and with a powerful script interpreter (eg. perl) you can do the trick. Daniel
Re: [expert] 256K ADSL line user capacity
** Reply to message from "Istvan Bereti" <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> on Fri, 19 Jan 2001 13:59:08 +0200 > I have a web server and a 256 ADSL line at home. How can I calculate the > amount of users that my server can serv? Not enough information. You say this is ADSL at 256 Kbit/s. The speed rating on an ADSL line typically refers to the download speed. In the US ADSL upload speeds are typically 90 Kbit/s regardless of download speed. The reason for the low upload speed is because ADSL is considered a home service, not a business class service. Most home users are downloading mp3's and surfing the web (ok, I *know* that's a broad generalization, but you get my point) and don't require much in the way of upstream bandwidth. Also, are you transferring with HTTP 1.0 or 1.1? With 1.0 you need to open and close a connection for each object (text, graphic, etc) on the page. This increases the number of packets by (n-1) * 6 where n is equal to the total number of objects on the page to allow for the tcp session setup and teardown for each object. With 1.1, all objects are sent over the same tcp session. I could also mention RST vs FIN, but I won't. Finally, while the provider may tell you your upload speed is 90 Kbit/s (for example), there is no guarantee on this number in most provider agreements. The 90 Kbit/s number is actually a MAXIMUM upload speed and may or may not ever be attained depending on how oversubscribed the provider's network is. Bottom line, any estimate of capacity on this system would be little more than a guess. Sorry! John LeMay Jr. Senior Enterprise Consultant NJMC, LLC.

I have had similar wierdness. Sometimes it was related to a plug in. Removing the plug in using 'rm' would fix it. Sometimes the files in ~/.netscape got hosed.

I do not use a monitor on my Mandrake 7.2 machine. Rather I ssh into that machine. Whenever I see new patches I usually have to manually go into an ftp site to download those RPM files.

[expert] netscape problem
I came in this morning to find netscape broken on my workstation. Worked when I left on wednesday - broke when I came back today. The problem was that Netscape crashed completely and closed whenever I tried to open the mail client. The browser itself appeared ok.

[expert] Disappearing Menus
Hi I'm running LM7.1 and mostly use KDE(1.1.2). There was some (useful) correspondence a bit back about menus dissapearing. The solutions offered related to those menu items accessible through kmenuedit. However, what do I do when: a) The panel icons decide to go AWOL. (Apart from deleting the user, recreating a new one and [tediously] copying files from the old directory to the new)? b) if I want to access the Panel section of the start menu. E.g. if I do StartMenu -> Panel -> EditMenus I get an "Oops" box saying MenuEditor not installed. It is there, and can be triggered from Konsole, and I can then use it (as root) to place it unnder (say) StartMenu -> Applications -> FileTools. But it would be nice for the reference in StartMenu -> Panel to work. There must be a file somewhere that I can edit: any ideas? Ronnie Whipp

[expert] MandrakeUpdate for servers?
Many of our installations of Linux Mandrake are done as Servers. We would like to be able to run MandrakeUpdate on these boxes in a console, without having it run as a GUI. Is there a console-only version of Mandrake Update? If not, where can we get the source to MandrakeUpdate (gui) so we can hack one ourselves. -- The reader this message encounters not failing to understand is cursed.

Re: [expert] DNS and IP addressing
you can use linuxconf, or webmin to set up additional addresses for your cards. Or you can go to /etc/sysconfig/network-scripts, and copy ifcfg-eth0 to ifcfg-eth0:0, ifcfg-eth0:1, etc. and edit the files just created. change eth0 to eth0:0 inside the file, and change the ip address and netmask and network info in the file. Then, if you are logged onto the console, you can do /etc/rc.d/init.d/network restart or, alternatively ifdown eth0 ifup eth0 and then do ifconfig and the new addresses will show up. Be sure to do this as root, and be sure to erase any backup files (such as those that end in ~), otherwise you will see side effects that you don't expect. bug On Fri, 19 Jan 2001, Jim Warwick wrote: > I sent a note out yesterday and didn't get any response.

I sent a note out yesterday and didn't get any response. But after looking at it, it may have been a little confusing. Basically, my question is this. I am trying to do virtual hosting. I have one IP address. If I understand it correctly, I have to setup IP Aliasing in order to virtual host. Is that the case? If so, can I use the none routable addresses for that (i.e. 192.168.0.X)? The way I have it set in my WinDoze 2k machine,is with all virt. hosts have the same ip address and each virt host is picked up by the host header in the IP packet. Where do I go from here?

To add something else... I am running into another problem, a bigger problem. Initially, after installing the 20010118 kde 2.1 rpms, I just did a restart X and logged in again.

Re: SV: [expert] RPM Updates
Uh, no, I know what dependancies are unresolved. This is very simple. If you want to force an install, like I believe the guy was trying to do, you can do the method below - BUT WHEN YOU ALREADY KNOW WHAT THE DEPS ARE!! Also, If you think about it, if you try to install, say XFree. You do a rpm -Uhv *.rpm in the directory you have all your recently downloaded packages. Well, you are going to fail dependancies on packages that you will eventully install anyway, further down the list. So, once you check all the deps, and are sure you have all the packages, you can force them (remember, beta and cooker apps often do not go in without complaints). In fact, the SuSE update site often instructs the user to force packages. When testing beta, it is just sometimes necessary.

You need to download the diff and patch the kernel to get supermount to work. Off hand I don't remember what the web address is but if you go to freshmeat.net and do a search on supermount you can go to the author's web page, download the diff, and patch your kernel. You will probably have to change the diff file because by default it tries to patch files in a rather obscure directory. If you open up the diff the first three lines will show you the directories that the patch is going to look for the files. Do a find and replace and change the path to whatever your path to the source is. Once its patched you will find the option to enable supermount. -Chris

Again, it turns out thats for a different CPU. So, I suppose the short answer now is: Its padding added by the compiler to make things end up aligned the way it wants, and you cannot turn it off.

[expert] Kernel 2.4 versus supermount
Hey list. I am running a system with a dual Celleron, so I use the -smp- kernel. So far I can only use the 2.2.17.. because the pppd is NOT supported by the kernel, when I install the kernel-smp-2.4.0-5mdk.i586.rpm! why? will it be activated in a comming compile? So I downloaded the latest 'tar' of the kernel, and everything compiled fine, but I cant find the supermount option, so my cry for help is: how do I activate/include the supermount option in a "home-compile"? Thanks in advance Mogens Jæger

[expert] Quote characters
Where does Mandrake define the behaviour of quote characters? In both 7.1 and 7.2, I have to type characters such as " and ' twice before they appear. Besides being anoying (happens in X and console apps alike), I am using wedit for programming and these characters can only be used if cut&pasted via mouse from another window which is hopeless when using quoted strings in a c++ program.

Re: [expert] problem with gcc
I would pop in your CD and do an 'update/upgrade' with Development packages, it's most likely the only sure way that you'll have all the necessary tools for compiling various programs. For example, unless you do heavy in depth research, you'd never know that PHP needs Bison to compile.

There's a wide gap between controlling the internet and expressing frustration over virus distributors. > crackers, script kiddies, and spammers is *nothing* compared to the > entities that are lobying to rule *our* internet. As you said, there is no relationship between the two. So why are you equating Mark's comments with an e-commerce takeover of the Internet. For that matter, how can you view e-commerce on the Internet to be a problem when the very operating system you use is so dependent upon the Internet for its e-commerce? Maybe a switch to decaf could straighten this out in your mind (grin). There are problems on the Internet. One of them is crackers using other people as targets of their gaming activity. It did my heart good to see the kid that shut down a bunch of major sites with his demand for service antics plead guilty to the 55counts against him.

(sad I know) rawrite allows you to transfer an existing boot image to a floppy. You can find rawrite.txt in the \dosutils\ folder on the LM install CD. If you want to create your own boot image I don't know how you could do that with Win2K. You need at least win32 port of modutils and I don't think that exists. I've got a couple of comments... Did you try an "expert" install (Press F1 upon boot from CD)? You should be able to select the NCR53c8xx driver to at least get things installed. If the NCR driver doesn't work, you've got to get a boot image that includes the SYM53x8xx module. Perhaps the "other.img" (on the install cd in /images/) contains this on - I don't know. During the install there are several sessions running. You can use the CTRL-ALT-F(n) keystokes to switch between them. There is even a command prompt which you might be able to load the sym53c8xx driver from (attached) using insmod. I'm pretty green at this stuff - perhaps someone else has better info/ideas. DP

Re: [expert] 256K ADSL line user capacity
Well what I usually do in this case is:- Line speed = 256 Kbit/sec Page size = 150 kbytes = 1200 Kbit so max number of hits per sec = 256/1200 = 0.21 = 12 hits per minute (MAXIMUM) It depends on the pages from there...and how often each user will hit the site by requesting a page.. This is only rough, I usually halve it for operational work, and it only involves the pipe itself, though 12 hits/min is fairly low as webservers go. Another point...ADSL is Asynchronous, I'm assuming you've got something like a 256k uplink and an 1024 downlink If it's a 256K downlink then it's probably a 64k uplink...which means your down to 4 hits a minute.

[expert] building, using a boot image driver
I am trying to install Linux-Mandrake Complete 7.2 on a Tyan S1867DU3LAN motherboard. The install freezes (e.g., no progress and mouse, keyboard do not respond after up to 30 minutes) Tyan tech support suggested new SCSI driver for the onboard chip by LSI which is model 53C1010-33 and gave me two URLs below. I like option BBB and am hoping someone can tell me how to do it with Mandrake. AAA) This URL has a driver tar ball which to install would force me to buy a PCI SCSI card already supported by 7.2, install 7.2 using supported card, install kernel source and recompile source with driver tar ball. ftp://ftp.lsil.com/HostAdapterDrivers/linux/c8xx-driver/ BBB) This URL has a *Redhat 7.0 boot image* which to install would only require me to use the *text expert* type install and command *dd* with parameter pointing to floppy disk and file name of newer driver. ftp://ftp.lsil.com/HostAdapterDrivers/linux/DriverUpdateDisks/RedHat7.0/ Option AAA is not desirable because this computer will be a production machine with maximum security enabled. (so I do not not want kernel source code on it or to have to go through all the extra steps and admittedly the steeper learning curve) So...Any help with this boot image technology would be much appreciated!!! Some questions: 1) Is this *Redhat 7.0 boot image* compatible with Linux-Mandrake Complete 7.2? 2) Is the initrd command similar to dd command I read about in option BBB readme file?
