[expert] Modprobe cannot find eth0
I installed 7.2 last week but it will not modprobe the PCI NIC card(Intel PRO100B). Going into harddrake i find that it is there but no configuration tool comes up to fix this problem. I have had an earlier version 7.0 on this same machine and it worked fine. I have turned of PnP OS and made sure it is not legacy ISA. Apart from that i am lost. Mobo is BE6-11

Re: [expert] 7.1 -> 7.2 upgrade roadmap?
There is a utility for xinetd that "does its best" to convert your inetd.conf into a xinetd.conf file. It's called xconv.pl (a perl script, yes). Supposedly it ships with xinetd but it wasn't installed, by Mandrake, with xinetd - not on my box anyway (7.2). So maybe if you download and install xinetd from www.xinetd.com or something, i don't know. Anyway, it's not failsafe and you still have to know how to read the xinetd.conf file. My roadmap for upgrading was backing up all my config files & my personal system-change logs and reinstalling. I figured the trouble of setting up a few things again (and by now i have scripts for many of those things) would be less than the trouble of hunting down obscure, subtle problems caused by the upgrade. But i could have been totally wrong on that. It's just that i've done so much reinstalling by now that i'm "good" at it. Aside from the time it takes, it's no trouble at all.

It's been a while since I've messed with PNP, but, I think this is what
you want:
IO 0 (SIZE 32) (BASE 0x0240) (CHECK))
# IRQ 3, 5, 9, 10, 11, 12 or 15.

IIRC, this is what you need. The main things are to get the I/O address
and the IRQ set correctly.
You may be able to set your BIOS to Non-PNP operating system, so that the
BIOS assigns the I/O and IRQ, and you won't have to rely on the pnp tools
to get it to work.

Replying to myself, about 5 minutes after posting this, I fixed the problem. I deleted my printer and then reinstalled it using printerdrake.

Re: [expert] changing mount point
Actually, you don't even have to go through all that. What you can do is the following: #ln -s /mnt/cdrom /desiredmountpointname/cda #ln -s /mnt/cdrom2 /desiredmountpointname/cdb #ln -s /mnt/cdrom3 /desiredmountpointname/cdc Then, in your smb.conf, just add /desiredmountpointname as a non-witable share, and you are done. (find examples for this at samba.org, or the sample files in the docs) The share will show up as three folders under the sharename. This way, your configuration is unchanged, and the cdrom can be mounted from either the soft directory or the /mnt directory.

Re: [expert] cups is a real pain
After a restore from a backup made when 7.2 was installed of the cups directory, the cupsd.conf file is drasticly different. I have samba printing back but still no lpd client access to the server. I redirected the debug log to syslog and it shows authorisation errors. I think that kups is causing much of the problem when I access the security settings, probably because, with its limited view I am missunderstanding the settings. I'll try vi and edit the file manually. Can someone post (to me rather than the list I guess) the (working for remote lpd access) cupsd.conf as a whole? Print quality has never been a problem with my bjc-620 - just getting it to work! Also, someone asked if I am using the latest drivers, which I think these are: wdk@Ralph ~ $ rpm -qa|grep cups qtcups-1.0-14mdk cups-drivers-0.3.6-30mdk libcups1-1.1.6-2.1mdk qtcups-devel-1.0-14mdk cups-common-1.1.6-3.1mdk libcups1-devel-1.1.6-2.1mdk cups-1.1.6-3.1mdk wdk@Ralph ~ $ BillK > > A few days ago I thought the same, and inquired how to get my old > printing system back. > I'm getting the knack of it now -though it certainly isn't what > you might call user friendly. > The results on my canon bjc2100 (definitely not a recommendable > printer) are very much better than on windows.

OK an update. I mucked around and if I put manual entries in /etc/rc.d/rc.local, and force usb using modprobe usb-interface modprobe usbmouse modprobe usb-storage I can actually talk to my orb drive. (Note: if I eject the orb disk, I have to reboot Linux to get back to a reasonable situation with the drive.) Does anyone know how to make the usb file system show up in proc? It does not do so now.

Sounds Likely, and if your starting it at boot then most of the IP based stuff on the ppp0 interface won't be right when you start your dialup. It depends what your interested in firewalling. if it's just ppp0 that your concerned about, I'd be inclined to move the PMFirewall startup from rc.local to /etc/ppp/ip-up.local that way it starts right after the ppp interface comes up. If your interested in covering your ppp and eth interfaces from boot. What I did was get PM firewall started (with the ppp0 interface up), write down the ipchains rules and amend them to use the ppp0 interface rather than it's ip address (soembody probably has a better answer) and run an ipchains script (getting rid of PMFirewall) Andrew

I'm thinking the same thing. I may go back to RedHat myself. How can they ship a product for home use with something as basic as printing so badly broken? Here's my CUPS problems: Printer: HP 932C Test page prints fine. dvips prints out correctly # lpr .bashrc prints but the margins both left and right are wrong. ps-print-buffer in Xemacs, prints the postscript commands. The filter doesn't convert the postscript, instead it prints the %!PS-Adobe-3.0 etc. Also, it has the staircase effect.

It does have a nicer output for my printer (when it works).

The xvidtune command will let you move the window around. After you get it
where you want it, record the settings and edit the xf86config file using the

[expert] cups is a real pain
Hi,
cups is giving grief again (and again and again ...) I am unable to
print to the server from a Mandrake 7.1 box and windows printers (though
that may be samba) Its getting urgent so I tried opening up with no
auth settings but that doesnt work. I also cannot connect to
localhost/631/admin - asks for the root password, but fails. Local
printing works ok (at the moment) - I have ahd to reinstall the config
files at times to get even that working at times. Have been using kups
but seems to have no effect on access.
I have the following in the cups-lpd file in xinet.d:
service printer
{
socket_type = stream
protocol= tcp
wait= no
user= lp
server = /usr/lib/cups/daemon/cups-lpd

}

The thing is that I got the packages from Mandrake 6.0, we have been using xv for 6 months, and right now, the package *disappeared* on two of our machines.. Thomas.

[expert] Xemacs
How do i get Xemacs to show the line number and also color the text for the proramming mode. For example: int foo; "int" would be colored. I saw this one some one elsese machine this summer, dont know how to contact that person. Thanks. Ira ___ Visit http://www.visto.com/info, your free web-based communications center. Visto.com.

Funny, but it is the contrary on my machine ! LyX (shipped mith MDK7.2) is unusable (it crashes all the time), but KlyX (shipped on the CD2 of MDK7.2) is very good, once you have corrected the wrong zoom factor of the rendering (in screen options -> fonts, chose a scale of 3 or 4 instead of 150 ! ;o) Regards -- Romuald Texier
