Re: [expert] Nvidia drivers .96 for Mandrake 7.2?
nVidia still has that stupid non-redistrbution agreement (which would look more appropriate on the nearest dung heap). But is there anything to prevent creating the Mandrake i586.rpm file for them and then submitting it back to them. Having a 7.2 rpm ready to go would be a big boost to the truly new at Mandrake 7.2. (I'll do it myself the day the instructions for how to create RPM's make sense to me.)

Re: [expert] FIXED: latest kde updates - konqueror- NOT FIXED
I jumped the gun. The problem is not fixed but it is "less severe" in that I am able to actually start konqueror and view a website or two, but soon everything is broken again, no new apps can be started - konqueror is killing the XFree86 font server. Since I always have a konsole up and running, first thing (I run setiathome in it), I was able to go to it, login as superuser and start the font server again and continue working. If it wasn't for this, I would have to reboot because you cannot even logout of kde when this happens - the logout dialog requires use of the font server, which is no longer running. CRAP!

Re: [expert] FIXED: latest kde updates - konqueror can't do webpages
The problem seems to have solved itself after I did what I have had to do many times, it seems, lately and delete my .kderc and .kde/ directories and start over again. This happens sporadically, sometimes independent of upgrading a kde version. Something will, out of the blue, go wrong and after trying and trying to fix it, I end up having to dump the file and directory and start over.

Missing entries in Kcontrol have nothing to do with XFree 4.0.2. Problem is in conflicting Mandrake menus and KDE menus. If you don't have a menu group which is required by kde, you will have problems (like missing entries in Kcontrol). You can manually add required menu group and solve the problem. You can find all Mandrake's menu group in /usr/share/applnk. You can see if you have required menu group in /usr/share/applnk-kde and copy it to /usr/share/applnk.

The following program is written Because of structure padding, you can't rely on having the structure be so many bytes. gcc will align stuff on boundaries, and pad the intervening spaces with zeros.

I don't see why it wouldn't work in Linux. I don't have Windows, I will probably never have windows here. What features does your ADSL have? Does it, for instance, require PPP over Ethernet, or does it not give you a static IP, you have to do DHCP, etc? Those 'extras' (i.e., garbage to make the DSL provider's life easier or whatever) will make life far more difficult for you. My DSL provider doesn't do that, which is nice - so over here, it is a static IP connection; all I do is ifconfig and route and I'm online :). You might want to peek into your Windows configuration files and see if there is anything that would make it seem as if you were using dhcp or ppp over ethernet etc. Did Earthlink give you 'connection' software, for instance? What does your ifconfig, route, etc. say in Linux? Can it see the network card? > When I booted up to Linux, Linux could not detect my ADSL. The eth0 > refuses to recognize my ADSL.

That could mean that it guessed dhcp (which is more common) and it's sitting trying to authenticate that way, and it'll just sit there if your DSL provider doesn't use that method. When I first installed Mandrake two weeks ago (prior to that I was using an older Red Hat) the net configuration tool incorrectly did that and it was just sitting there in the bootup.

[expert] Now what is THIS?!
I am having font problems of unknown origin with konqueror in KDE 2.1. As one of many different things I have done to try to fix it is building and installing XFree86-4.0.2-5mdk. That all went fine and I rebooted and then started KDE. Now, when I start kcontrol as a user I get the Control center up but it's window is blank. If I open it from a konsole, the message produced is this: kcontrol: WARNING: No K menu group with X-KDE-KControl-Base=true found ! Defaulting to Settings/ Huh? Why does this now happen? NOTHING FRICKIN' CHANGED EXCEPT XFREE! Why does kcontrol now not work when it worked fine before? How do I fix this? I need this to be fixed in order to try to fix my ongoing font problem - konqueror wrecks X and KDE if I try to run it as a webbrowser (but causes no problems if run as a file browser).

Could it be a simple > problem of overheating causing a reboot? (can that happen?) Yes. Try compiling a kernel, if it errors out in different places, your problem is hardware. Try 'cpuburn', if you get reboots/errors, it's hardware. Otherwise boot your install CD and choose upgrade to fix unknown problems with your install. Random reboots are almost always hardware tho, overheating, cpu/cache/ram, HDD errors. Clean out the dust bunnies and re-seat everything. It can also be power. Either the house current or the computers power supply. If that's the case, you need an UPS, and/or a better power supply. A quick way to test overheating problems is to take the case cover off, and point a table fan into the box. If the reboot/error problems subside, you need to improve cpu heatsink/fan and/or case ventilation. -- Tom Brinkman [EMAIL PROTECTED] Galveston Bay

I did the usual 'rpm --rebuilddb', and 'update-menus -v', plus
restarting X. For one reason or another I've restarted X several times,
about half the time it would correctly run kdm, others it would drop me
to a level 3 prompt.

[expert] konqueror problems in kde-2.1-20010118
I installed the latest version of kde 2.1 for mandrake yesterday. I have found everything is fine except konqueror. I can start konsole, the kfmclient file browser portion of konqueror, kmail, etc, without any problem but the moment I try to start konqueror web browser, that's all she wrote. It totally wrecks kde and even X. There is no error message and the konqueror window doesn't even try to appear but as soon as I try to start it, I lose the ability to do anything more. No matter what app I try to start, be it a kde app or gnome/gtk app, it will not start. I cannot even logout of kde because that doesn't work either. If I have any apps open, they become unresponsive. After about 10 seconds of waiting, X crashes and the only message I find associated with the problem is this: Fatal server error: could not open default font ' fixed' I cannot do a Ctrl-Bkspc and restart X. The only thing I can do to get back the X server and KDE is to reboot. This is repeatable. If I run "konqueror" from a konsole it starts up fine and from there I can browse the web. If I run "kfmclient openProfile webbrowsing" then all the problems mentioned above occur and I get this message in the konsole: QFont::lastResortFont: Cannot find any reasonable font KCrash: crashing crashRecursionCounter = 2 KCrash: Application Name = konsole path = QFont::lastResortFont: Cannot find any reasonable font [patrick@localhost patrick]$ kfmclient openProfile webbrowsing QFont::lastResortFont: Cannot find any reasonable font KCrash: crashing crashRecursionCounter = 2 KCrash: Application Name = kfmclient path = QFont::lastResortFont: Cannot find any reasonable font If I subsequently try to run any other app from the open konsole (I cannot open ANY new apps be they KDE, gtk-based, or whatever), for instance if I try to open a new konsole with "konsole", I get: QFont::lastResortFont: Cannot find any reasonable font KCrash: crashing crashRecursionCounter = 2 KCrash: Application Name = konsole path = QFont::lastResortFont: Cannot find any reasonable font No other app but konqueror has this effect as far as I can find.

Re: [expert] SAMBA Printer problem on Private network - IPCHAINS denies access?

If I could guarantee that SAMBA would only work with my nodes, then I would revert back to my addresses, of which I have five valid addresses.

[expert] SAMBA Printer problem on Private network - IPCHAINS denies access?
I have a Private network (192.168.99) which I am using IPCHAINS in order to gain access through my Linux Server to the internet. The Problem is when I attempt to Print to the LP on the Linux Server (everything else in SAMBA/Linux appears to be working- authentication ), when I connect to the printer the Network gets locked up. Here's what I see: # ipchains -L Chain input (policy ACCEPT): target prot opt sourcedestination ports DENY all l- laptop3.abs-comptech.com anywhere n/a Chain forward (policy DENY): target prot opt sourcedestination ports MASQ all -- 192.168.99.0/24 anywhere n/a MASQ all -- 192.168.99.0/24 anywhere n/a Chain output (policy ACCEPT): Why did IPCHAINS DENY Access?

I am running a k6-2 and the box is as venilated as I can make it in a cramped Japanese apartment (in others words, venilation could be better). This was prolly the case. I was hoping that the general cold of the apartment would help keep everything cool. (Japan has not discovered insulation yet, so the temp in the apartment is generally the same as outside).

Re: [expert] glibc and reboot (con't)
Check the cpu fan/heat sink for dirt - quite a common cause of reboots, particularly with K6 chips in my experiance. Also make sure the box is well ventilated - one of my machines reboots if the room temperature goes over 28 degrees centigrade and the second case fan is not on - the powersupply fan is not up to the job and the box internals get quite hot.

[expert] using japanese language
Has there been any discussion on this list about the inputting Japanese text with LM 7.x? With 7.1, the jserver wouldn't shut down properly, it had to be killed. With my current 7.2 setup, jserver starts up and shuts down ok (at least with the "service" command) but I am having trouble using kinput to input text. I think it is an environment problem since my LC_(all of them) variables are set to US english - fair enough since that is the primary language for my system. So what do I need to do to change them? Is that sufficient for inputing Japanese? Anyone tried this or have any insights? -- Chris and Yoshiko Spackman [EMAIL PROTECTED] (English) [EMAIL PROTECTED] (Japanese) www.openhistory.org "I will not be pushed, filed, stamped, indexed, briefed, debriefed, or numbered.

I went to single user mode and rebuilt the rpm db with no problem. Haven't checked all the fans yet, but the power supply fan is definitely working. Possibly the cpu intensive rpm stuff combined with a heater blowing air at my feet (and thus at the box as well) caused the computer to overheat. That might explain the two reboots within a few hours of each other. Course, I am always open to alternative possibilities. For some reason, the rebuilt db still shows the old and new versions of glibc-devel installed.
