[expert] LM 7.2 and still network probs
Hallo all, well I have some problems with the network services and LM 7.2. I do not have a network card, just want to use the loopback device lo. I have activated the network service at startup, then I also have activated xinetd and inetd at startup. My first question, can inetd and xinetd run at the same time? Now when my system boots, the lo device is NOT available. I have to start it manually with ifconfig lo 127.0.0.1 up Afterwards I have some network services available: Port State Service 21/tcp openftp 22/tcp openssh 80/tcp openhttp 443/tcpopenhttps 1024/tcp openkdm 1025/tcp openlisten 6000/tcp openX11 Then again I have to start inetd manually to add: nntp pop-3 telnet I tried Webmin and it tells me under Hardware NetConf NetInterfaces that device lo is available and ACTIVATED at boot time. Apparently all this settings are ignored somehow. Someone suggested that I add the ifconfig line to the startup scripts, but why do this, if the settings are already there, they just get ignored. I have an older LM 7.0 here to, and the device lo gets started by the network service and no problems at all, just LM 7.2 ignores the settings. Can someone help here and tell me how to enamble lo "the right way"? Currently I have to do it manually and the settings indicate that it should work automatically. Thanx in advance Andreas

Warning 0x82 is saying that Hard Drive Primary Slave has cylinders larger than the magical 1024 limit. This does not mean that you can not use LILO. More than likely your /etc/lilo.conf file has a line that reads LINEAR. What this does when you run /sbin/lilo is it checks the HDD "capabilities"(?) and then writes out the map file. LILO then uses this map file to boot the system. LILO does not have a clue as to what your HDD looks like so this map file tells it what it looks like and where to find the information to boot. Does LILO work at all? What is the error that you are getting? Each letter at the boot prompt represents a different step in the boot process. I.e. if LILO is stopping with LI then the second stage of the boot is finished, but the map file is wrong. That's just my two cents.

On a regular basis when I log into the server via the console attached to the server the X server crashes and the console keyboard and monitor go into a tizzy. The only way out is to kill the X server from another machine or to use the three-finger-salute on the console. The X server never crashes while logging in from one of the other machines. It only crashes when logging into the Mandrake system from the attached console. And again, it seems to happen on a regular basis at every nth login from the console (around 25 - 30) ... although I haven't specifically measured it.

Also checked monitor by using another machine with it which checked out okay. I also shutdown and let the machine cool-down and rebooted, no luck? Several attempts to alter things via DrakConf have left me in a Lock-Up requiring reboot so I prefer not to mess with that for awhile. This all started from a perfectly functioning machine, probably iniated by an install of some "guilty rpm". Any other suggestions to track this down? William Bouterse Talkeetna
[expert] Problem with Telnet, xinetd, and Mandrake 7.2
Hello,
I want to have the telnet service running under Mandrake 7.2. This box is
not used for anything secure, so I don't need to worry about telnet and
clear
passwords.
I read up on xinetd, and added a file called telnet to my /etc/xinetd.d
directory. that file looks like this:
# default: on
# description: Telnet Server
service telnet
{
socket_type = stream
protocol = tcp
wait = no
user = root
server = /usr/sbin/tcpd
server_args = in.telnetd
}
I did:
ps -aux | grep xinetd
kill -USR2 pid
telnet localhost
at this point, I see this:
# telnet localhost
Trying 127.0.0.1...
Connected to localhost.localdomain.
Escape character is '^]'.
but I never see a login prompt, or the message saying "welcome to mandrake
7.2" or something like that. before I added this telnet file to
/etc/xinetd.d, I would get connection refused. It seems to hang in this
state until I do a Ctrl-C.
Any ideas? I'm running Kernel version 2.2.17. I am not sure what version of
xinetd, but it would probably be the version that ships with 7.2.
Thanks,
Kevin
Re: [expert] CUPS problem
You need cups-common. Install cups-common and upgrade cups and you should be ok (if you do it in one step (ie. use -Uvh) you shouldn't have any dependency problems). Wasn't the whole point of the second release of the cups update that it came with all dependencies, properly linked? cups-common is NOT listed by the "Normal Updates" section of Mandrake Update, which is supposed to contain all approved updates, along with any dependencies required by said approved updates, isn't it? Perhaps I'll wait for a third cups update, which will hopefully come with all required dependencies, instead of searching for individual parts (such as cups-common). .
Re: [expert] Problem with Telnet, xinetd, and Mandrake 7.2
I haven't looked at or edited those files, so they would be the same copies
that Mandrake install puts there, unless some application modified them.
I'm not at my linux box now, or else I would copy the contents to this
email. I can do a ftp localhost, and everything works as expected, as well
as ssh localhost. I have also successfully FTP'd from another computer as
well.
Thanks,
Kevin

[expert] Problem enabling Java in Konqueror 2.1 Beta 2
Hi... I've installed Sun's Java 2 Dev Kit 1.3 which includes a plugin for Netscape. Using Netscape 4.7.6 it seems to work properly. I've run the command "nspluginscan" as root and user which presumably should overcome any difficulty Konqueror has finding Netscape's plugins. And I have Konqueror displaying Flash sites using Netscape's plugin. But I can't seem to get Konqueror to run a Java applet. There seem to be two approaches -- using the plugin and/or specifying a path to the JRE java binary. Is this correct or am I misunderstanding? I've tried both with the same results. Incidentally, when I run an applet -- any applet -- the only thing odd I notice is an incrementing number displayed in the left side of Konq's bottom status bar. Each reload of the page containing the applet increases this number. Weird. Any thoughts? M. -- Michael O'Henly TENZO Design

RE: [expert] Mandrake boot
Your problem is that windows always assumes it is the only software in the world, so when you install windows (95, 98, ME, NT, 2k) it will overwrite your master boot record with its own boot loader, which doesn't know anything about linux type partitions. That is why it is easier, in general, to install Windows FIRST, then put linux on second. You need to get lilo or grub (depending on what you are using) back into the MBR. To do so, you are going to need a way to boot a non-windows OS, which basically meets a bootable Linux floppy or CD. If you created a rescue diskette when you installed MDK, you should boot from that. If not, you might want to download tom's rootboot (search for it in google) which will let you create, under DOS, a fully bootable Linux system on a floppy including all the major utilties for getting things up and running. One you are booted on a rescue floppy of some sort, you can mount your Linux parition and reinstall lilo or grub. Remeber that if you are using LILO, you need to edit lilo.conf to include sections both for your linux boot (which is likely already there since you were using linux before) and for windows. If you are using grub, you can reinstallgrub and then edit /boot/grub/menu.lst to create the windows section. -Original Message-From: [EMAIL PROTECTED] [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED]]On Behalf Of MichaelSent: Tuesday, February 13, 2001 6:25 PMTo: [EMAIL PROTECTED]Subject: [expert] Mandrake boot I installed win98 and Mandrake 7 on my computer,it works fine,but when I reinstalled win98 yesterday,I can not boot into Mandrake any more, any help? have to install Mendrake once more? thanks, Michael zhao

fault $prog ${1+"$@"}
Unexpected end of pipe encountered
When I tried to launch Netscape6 as root (/usr/local/netscape/netscape
), I ended up launching Netscape 4.76.
Can you help, please? How do I solve this "Segmentation fault" problem?
Thanks so much.

[expert] Netscape 6 -- Segmentation Fault
Dear friends:
1) Installation:
I reinstalled Netscape 6.01 as ROOT, instead of user. I finally found
the netscape directory. See below. I was able to activate Netscape 6 and
launch it. However, since the initial launch, all I've been getting are
segmentation faults. Besides, I would like to run Netscape 6 as user,
NOT as root. I did a chmod 755 netscape in the /usr/local/netscape
directory and changed the ownership under Permissions (using Konqueror)
to "sher". Still, I couldn't launch Netscape 6. Same segmentation error.
[sher@sher sher]$ cd /usr/local/netscape

2) Plugins
However, I did manage briefly to see my plugins in Netscape 6 (by typing
about:plugins in the location bar). I saw ALL of my Netscape 4.76
plugins (which I had copied to /usr/local/netscape) EXCEPT for the
RealPlayer plugin.
Would appreciate any and all help.
Yours,
Benjamin

Re: [expert] Netscape 6 -- Segmentation Fault
Not only that, Netscape 6 is very undependable. I've never had it working properly. i.e. I install it, it runs well the first time and then fails to function after that. There was an article on Slashdot about how bad it was not long ago. I recommend waiting until 6.1 (at least) comes out and in the meantime going with 4.76 or Konquerer.

Re: [expert] Netscape 6 -- Segmentation Fault
Dear friends: 1) My system is an AMD K6-2 400 with 128 megs of real RAM (and a 256 swap file on LM72). 2) I am using the new Netscape 6.01, which just came out a few days ago. This 6.01 version is based on the stable Mozilla .7, which came out in January, while Netscape 6.0, which came out in November, was based on the unstable Mozilla Milestone 17 of mid-September. In other words, three milestones separate Netscape 6.0 and 6.1, namely, Mozilla Milestone 17, 18 and Mozilla .6 and now Mozilla .7. You might wish to check out the new Netscape 6.01. I used Mozilla .7 for quite a while, and it was very stable (for many hours at a time) and reliable. Please try it and let me know if you have this same segmentation fault. I have this segmentation fault even when I use Netscape 6.01 ONLY (i.e. without Netscape 4.76). My thanks to all of you for your kind help.

Re: [expert] Mandrake boot
Hi what you have to do is to boot from the CD. when the you get the first screen (press F1 for help, Enter for install) press F1 and then write 'rescue' and Enter. when the system is up, mount your '/' partition on /mnt/disk (it's there by default, if not create it) and mount the other partition as they are on the original system (if you have a separate boot partition mount it on '/mnt/disk/boot', etc...). then cd to /mnt/disk and run 'chroot /mnt/disk'. this will make the system think '/mnt/disk' is '/'. now install lilo (/sbin/lilo -v) or grub and you should be able to boot again from linux.
