[expert] Helix Gnome under MDK7.2
Hi everyone: I have another question: I've been trying to install Helix Gnome (Gnome 1.2) on MDK7.2 (now Ximian I believe). So far I haven't had success: I use the Go-Gnome script. 7.2 does not appear on the OS menu (only 7.1). It works just after the installation. The problem is that after restarting, I do not have the option of starting my session under Gnome. The option is completely erased from the session loader. Another troubling problem is that all the Gnome relying programs also disappear from the menus of KDE 2.0 . I tried to run Gnome manually, but to no avail. Has anyone gone through the same problem? Does anyone have a solution? Gikoreno ___ Send a cool gift with your E-Card http://www.bluemountain.com/giftcenter/

(I don't have any of the commercial partition managers) You are confused. Logical Block Addressing (LBA) applies at the physical disk drive level, NOT the partition level. For a 30GB disk, I would say that LBA is compulsory, otherwise you won't be able to get to the full 30GB. Your PC BIOS will tell you whether this drive was set up LBA when it was installed. The PC BIOS also lets you change the mapping algorithm from normal to large to LBA. BUT, changing this value will have no effect if the drive has any partitions on it - it must be totally empty, for obvious reasons. LBA is actually set and implemented in the drive itself, so Linux, which does not use the PC BIOS, knows about it and reports on the kernel boot-up (run dmesg to see it again). DiscDrake has reported problems and is too new to be depended upon. It is an unfinished work in progress, but with great promise. Partition Magic is the way to go, because it is the only partitioner that works properly in both Windows and Linux ext2 systems and has been in the market long enough to get the bugs out. -- Regards, Ron.

[expert] No Gnorpm Filelist
Hi there all, I have just installed Mandrake 7.2 on a new computer having always used Redhat on my old computer, however I seem to be having a problem as regards to gnorpm. I have searched through the database of archived messages and cannot see any similiar results. My problem is this. When I look at an rpm's info, or browse through the rpm database installed on my computer using Gnorpm, I can get to see all the info about the package, versions, descriptions and so on, however the bottom half (file list) is always blank! No matter what I have tried I cannot get and output here :-/ The rpm's install and work fine, just no file listings. Any ideas as to what I'm missing? Rpmdrake can on the other hand, just as being a user who had for a long time used Gnorpm, I would rather still remain using it.

Mike, That's a bit strong. I suppose I can understand when Ximian would want to force install everything, however I would agree it's not a good idea. Anyway, I've been running with a clean 'Drake 7.2 and Helix Gnome 1.0 (referring to the specific distribution product name) for a couple of weeks now without incident. In fact, to maintain consistency I installed Helix on my new server as well, also running LM7.2. I have almost no complaints. However, I still can't install the LM7.2 updates from Ximian, and the Ximian Gimp fails to install. This would seem to indicate that while the install may force install the initial packages, the same is not true for updates rec'd using the helix-update utility.

I assume the Pilot times out indicating it's lost connection with the pc or something of the sort? I have been using jpilot myself and there are a couple of things you can try. First, start jpilot without using plugins with "jpilot -p". This just worked for someone else. Apparently there was a problem with the mail plugin. Where is /dev/pilot linked to?

[expert] Mandrake 7.2 and voodoo banshee
If anyone told me what to do with a new installation of LM7.2 to get my banshee card working, i would be a very happy dude. The install detect my card as a voodoo banshe [generic], but when i try to configure X, the screen is swishing (don't know what would be the right word here, i'm not english, so sorry), in every type of resolution/color depth. It is very-very annoying. Thanks for the tips. Daniel
[expert] CUPS printers with Samba
I just installed a Brother HL-1240 (very nice printer BTW) on my Linux box and I want it to be sharable with my wife's NT computer. IN the 'old' days of lpd I just defined a [printer] section in smb.conf and -- viola! -- my printers were available to NT. With CUPS that does not seem to work. I tried defining it thru SWAT but that does not work. I am sure this is simple procedure but the details have, so far, escaped me. I used the "printing=cups" option suggested by the CUPS faq but I still cannot see the printer as a printer from the NT box.

Are you using Cups and xfs? Do you have any Truetype fonts installed? The mono-font issue on your shared Windows printer would seem to indicate that the fonts you are using on KDE aren't the same as the ones on the Windows machine. That would make sense usually as the X fonts are quite different from Windows fonts generally, and I'm not real sure how that works.

Re: [expert] Internet connection sharing, VMware and kernel 2.4
In that case, since Mandrake's Internet connection sharing feature is incompatible with the current kernel, how do I disable it? I get several errors every time I boot my computer, one with the DHCP server, one with the service "Setting up local network broadcast route..." (or something like that), and possibly others. I don't want these errors to continue. When I select the "Internet connection sharing" feature in DrakConf, all it asks me is whether or not I would like to set it up. It doesn't ask me if I would like to enable it or disable it, only whether I would like to enable it or cancel (do nothing). Has anyone else managed to figure out how to disable Internet connection sharing? I'm beginning to think that Mandrakesoft forgot to include this vital feature!!

Wireless at 11 Mbit/s is really the way to go in many cases. How many people need more than 11 Mbit/s for web surfing? Minor file sharing? While my core is 100 Mbit/s FDX, I'm looking for an 802.3 to 802.11b bridge just so I can sit outside with my laptop in the nicer months. For DSL and cable modem users with basic requirements, 3Com just came out with a home wireless gateway for around $300. PCMCIA cards are $150 and PCI's are around $250, however I haven't seen any Linux drivers for these yet.

Re: [expert] winmodems
David Dennis wrote: > > plenty of non winmodems around for $50 or less. all PCI bus are not > winmodem. Sorry? Who told you that? A modem doesn't have to say "Winmodem" on it to be a winmodem. I have installed plenty of PCI winmodems, much to my later regret. In fact, the majority of PCI modems are winmodems. Real PCI modems are rare and so expensive it makes more sense to buy an external. Manufacturers (case in point - 3Com/USRobotics) figured out some time ago that people were deliberately avoiding winmodems, so they have taken steps to obscure the actual nature of the hardware - even as they jack up the prices for this garbage. The only internal modems that are true modems are ones that prominently display "hardware controller" on the package (like the GVC ISA internals, which are excellent modems that work superbly in Linux!). A good rule of thumb is: if you are having a hard time determining whether or not a modem is a winmodem, it probably is. The interesting reality is that modems (real modems) haven't dropped much in price. If you go out and hunt for a real modem you will invariably end up spending between $65 and $100 US (externals).

[expert] au8830 massive error w/ version 7.2
Hello, I am trying to make use of the aureal sq2500 card that I spent My cash on before aureal was dissolved. I have been using the card with Mandrake 7.1 successfully for a long time and now and am distraught over the lack of sound on My computer after installing Mandrake 7.2! I downloaded and tried to compile the drivers from sourceforge and received a depmod error of "Unresolved symbols in au8830.o" after the make tries to "Modprobe". The documentation said that I needed to re-compile My source with sound set in the core instead of modulated, and I did such, even upgrading the kernel to 2.4.0, yet I still receive these errors. Any ideas? Something overlooked? Any ideas or help would be MUCH appreciated. Adam Illian Oh yeah, I also supported every soundcard possible (with modules) in My last kernel compile AND upgraded to modutils 2.4.2 ...

Wireless is nice for laptops. I am considering a wireless hub because I like the idea of taking my laptop outside onto the patio in nice weather. I may have to work at home but that doesn't mean I have to be cooped up in the den all the time. Also wireless provides considerable flexibility over wire in installing a LAN thru an entire house. If you have ever had to pull cable thru an attic you will appreciate that. It is not nearly as robust as cat 5. In offices I have put wireless in (Aironet) the 11 Mbps links sometimes only gave 2-4 Mbps. However, unless you do massive file transfers over the LAN, that is plenty. I only have a 384K DSL line for Internet access, 11 Mbps (or 2 Mbps for that matter) is enough for surfing and telecommuting. -- --Stephen Carville http://www.heronforge.net/~stephen/gnupgkey.txt == All religions are equally vile.

Re: [expert] help with SAMBA & CUPS
On the print server look in var/spool/samba and see if the print jobs you sent are there. If so you may be having the same issue I had. I set my printer up on linux as lp, and then in samba.conf I set the share up as [Epson], so the share would so, I could connet to it and send jobs, but nothing would happen. I checked the queue and the jobs were spooled. >From the command line when I typed: lpr-cups -P Epson -o raw filetoprint -r nothing would happen but when I typed: lpr-cups -P lp -o raw filetoprint -r The job would print out, so I changed my printer share in smb.conf to lp, restarted samba and all has worked.

Re: [expert] Wireless LAN on Linux
I think the keyword may be "wireless". I can see a distinct advantage to going with a slower wireless network to the standard network where you get to crawl around your attic stringing cable, cutting holes in walls for jacks, etc. Rather than wireless (still a bit pricey for me), is there a house electrical wiring-based network system that works with linux? You know, those new systems that use the already extant electrical wiring in the house for the cable, requiring simply new wall outlets with special jacks builtin? I don't want to crawl around in my attic either.

Re: [expert] Password issues
he wanted to create them by porting from NT and by automation. This incidentally would be a major step to making linux be adoptable in the workplace large or small. Not everyone is going to want to try and sell something to skeptical windows users that says 'password insecure' and makes them type something in. That confuses people. That makes skeptical people mock the new and the different. If you're in this guys position you want it done and set up so nobody can complain. And there you are offering command line manual input. And what if his company is small now, it still rocks to have automation, because he might have to do this again some day.

The problem happens later on when modules don't get installed. it seems to be related to a new module-info, how is that made? saving a new kernel is not it, the issue is whats happening that when i mkinitrd and ln -s to the new image, it still is attempting to load modules from the old image, failing. thanks, anyone? if i find this out i'll write a new howto that specifically covers since initrd.img became standard. thats a redhat / mandrake thing afaik. severely under documented i have spent hours looking at sites with initrd.img, ramdisk, kernel rebuild, modules, module-info as keywords. Did you know most linux help sites just index automated links out to usenet archives, most of those of which were questions and not answers, i.e. just some lone loser such as myself asking a question and no reply? sucks. and this is the great and powerful mandrake. HA! But it *was* a pretty desktop til i cocked it up running rpm -Uvh on kernel-2.2.17mdk-21.i586.rpm .

[expert] Wireless LAN on Linux
I recently got the idea to setup a 11Mbps wireless lan at home and I wanted to get something that I can use both on winblows and Linux, for less than $500. I was looking in the pcmcia-cs's SUPPORTED.CARDS file and I was wandering if any of you are using any of these cards under Linux. I have already tried the CISCO 340 and the Raylink/BreezeCOM and both work fine but CISCO is way too expensive and Raylink is only 2Mbps. I'm considering buying a Linksys accespoint and PCMCIA card which adds up arond the $400, but on the pcmcia-cs's documentation says that some features are missing, but don't say which. I'm also considering the D-Link and SMC systems, which of course are the most afordable ones. Please let me know if you have had any experience with these guys, or if you alredy have something similar with any other products. Thanks, Luis
[expert] how to restart a CUPS job?
Hello, I run mandrake 7.2 with cups printing. The printer is connected to a windows machine. When I send a print job and the windows machine is off, the job is spooled in the queue. When I turn the windows machine on, the queue is not printed auto- matically. I have to go to the cups web page at port 631, and with root password I can restart the jobs. I'd like the jobs to restart automatically as soon as the printer is on-line. How?

I have a DELL sitting on my desktop with a Maxtor drive. With a stock install (the i810 chipset doesn't communicate capabalities very well to the kernel) the hdparm -t showed 4.78Mb/s With -X66 it showed 31.58 Mb/s, with -X68 it still showed 31.58Mb/s. I run it at ATA/33 though it says it can do 66 because the performance flattened out, and I risked more errors at 66 for no apparent gain in data performance. Civileme
[expert] Problem with a second hd (ATA 100)
Hello folks, I have a Pentium III 800, WO-R mother board, 128 Mb RAM, Quantum HD 30GB ATA 66, Hitachi DVD, Soncy CRX160E cdwriter, Voodoo3 3000. I have installed both, Windows98 (because some applications that I need can't run under linux) and MDK 7.2. I am registered as crashtester for the nex MDK release; because my system is running fine, I don't want at the moment install the betas on this harddrive and I have bought a new harddrive Seagate ATA100 of 20 GB (my motherboard is new and can use ATA 100). The new hd has been situated as slave in ide0; the computer recognized it, but when I start the computer a message said "no system found". If I put down the new hd, the system start running without problems. If I start the system using a floppy I can see the new drive, make the partitions and format them, but the problem still exist; it is impossible to start from the harddrive. I made also an actualization, linux recognized both drives but, the problem is still present, grup doesn't appear. I have tryed with another old harddisk (ATA66) and I have the same no results. Could be a problem with grub? or perhaps with the configuration of my motherboard? Any help will be welcomed Francisco Alcaraz Murcia (Spain)

But actually most problems for menudrake come from the user interface. It runs a merge-update child process and does not prevent the user from killing it while that update is in progress. There are two menu directories of note. /etc/menu stores system-wide changes, and ~/.menu stores the user's personal menus. Menudrake should be run from the menu to edit menus for a single user. If a system-wide change is desired, then # menudrake --edit-system-menu If the process is aborted while updating, strange results occur. One effect (also sometimes an effect of unsupported rpms) is to change /etc/menu to access permission rwx-- when it has to be rwxr--r-- for proper function of menudrake. This is the classic case of, "I can see the changes in menudrake and it remembers them but my menus don't update." So the key to using this version of menudrake is patience. Look at the little bannerin the bottom right--if it says "Error reading /etc/menu" You won't get any changes to take effect until you fix /etc/menu with chmod a+r /etc/menu When the little banner says "updating menu configuration" LEAVE IT RUNNING until it adds "finish".

Internet connection sharing uses ipchains which needs emulation or a compatibility library to work in 2.4, because a new setup is now available. Internet connection sharing uses ip-masquerade which is a feature of the kernel. In 2.0 the interface was ipfwadm, in 2.2 it was ipchains, and now it is iptables [Netfilter] in 2.4.

This _might_ work Lower the security to 'Poor" and move to kernel 2.2.17-21mdk Migrate the passwords Raise the security to 'High' and switch to kernel-secure 2.2.18 This _will_ work Alternatively, though it is a pain in the neck, use linuxconf on 6.1 which will complain but accept the password anyway, then copy /etc/passwd over to your system.
