[expert] How do I add net card WITHOUT probing
I'm trying to install Mdk 7.2 on a Virtual Machine. No matter how I try, I keep getting: Error at Lance.c , line 479, module autoprobing not allowed HOWEVER, when I try a network install, I'm allowed to pick my card, manually pick the options, then say "OK". This WORKS. So, on or after an install, how do I get the same functionality as on the network install floppy (Note the ftp install fails on me but I've never fully investigated the problem.) Eric

Re: [expert] VPN software

I know there are various capabilities added to the Mandrake kernels (reiserfs, security patches, etc.) but I don't think that freeS/WAN or PoPTop are included. > Also, does 7.2 support the latest version of poptop and > FreeS/WAN? It doesn't support it in the sense that it doesn't ship with it. The only way that I have seen these available is in source form. You compile the patched kernel and you compile supporting software with one command typically. The freeS/WAN docs cover this rather well. > I assume the FreeS/WAN is more difficult to configure in a MS > / Linux environment since it requires a 3rd party client software. I'm not certain but I think that freeS/WAN will talk to MS IPSec. I have not tried though. I saw somewhere that there is a (commercial?) PGP package that supports this under Windows too. Do you need to encrypt TCP traffic or UDP as well? Do you need to access lots of ports or only a few? Do you have a couple users or many? A simple (simple to set up) solution is to use OpenSSH on the linux server and TerraTerm and TTSSH on the Windows client to gain access to specific ports on a secure network. This isn't perfect by any means but it's much easier to configure. I actually have used all 3 methods and I like freeS/WAN the best. It also took the most time to configure and only works between 2 Linux systems. I have seen other solutions on Freshmeat. I have tried a couple with no success (because of a problem with ipchains and not the particular software). There are solutions that don't require patching the kernel but I think they only work in Linux or *nix environments. Cheers, Scott Patten

[expert] Re: How do I add net card WITHOUT probing
Well, I eventually got this going. I believe I could do it easier, but what I did was: 1) text based EXPERT install, allow autoprobe to fail, then add in my card manually (no extra options) 2) text based install blows up flipping CDs on a Virtual Machine, leaving mostly working text only Linux system. 3) Re-fire up the GUI install and do an upgrade, skip over networking. 4) Throw in VM-ware tools to get their X server 5) Off to the races! I think an Expert GUI install might have been OK, but don't feel like trying it now. One suggestion for the install, when I got this autoprobe error on Customized install, It would not let me jump in and just add in the card. It would be nice for the spots of the install that are "more prone to not working" to be able to "jump in" to expert mode. I mean I can add in a video card, but a full expert install is not really needed.

RE: [expert] Enabling DMA on IDE Disk drives.
If you are still having problems with this, I sugest you try the webmin
interface, it has a great section on the hard disk parameters... and you can
choose all the options and then test the result.. I used this to see how far
I could push the drive (a 7200rpm 2mb cache UDMA 100 Western Digital) and
the ide interface before it failed.. I am using the standard 7.2 kernel, and
a bx motherboard. (which by default only supports udma33) and I got truely
amazing improvments..
give that a shot and see how you go, there are alot more settings then just
choosing dma mode.

Subject: [expert] Enabling DMA on IDE Disk drives.
I have a problem in Mandrake 7.2. Whenever I enable DMA access to my to
my harddisk my computer hangs and I see the following messages in the
message log:
kernel: hda: timout waiting for DMA
kernel: ide_dmaproc: chipset supported ide_dma_timeout func only: 14
kernel: hda: irq timeout: status=0x50 { DriveReady SeekComplete }
Enventually, DMA is disabled. I'm seeing this problem with the
production 2.2.17-21mdk kernel, my recompiled 2.2.17-21mdk kernel, and
the 2.2.18-14mdk kernel. I had previously used Mandrake 7.0 on this
same computer and was able to get DMA access to work by getting the
2.2.13 kernel source from kernel.org and adding the backported ide patch
to the kernel. My desktop computer also runs Mandrake 7.2 and has DMA
access enabled. The computer with problems is a Dell Latitude XPi CD
(Pentium 166 MMX) (No laughing please) with 80 MBytes of memory and a 2
GByte IBM disk drive. The chipset is identified as CMD643. Any and all
suggestions will be appreciated. Thank you in advance.

Re: [expert] Removing Xwindows
Sadly, reinstalling won't work. Mandrake just refuses to install without X. But never fear, it's POSSIBLE to remove all offending packages (rpm packages). # rpm -qa |grep [xX] will give you a bunch of packages, probably not all of which are X-related, but many of which are. Here's what *I* would do: Go into X, fire up rpmdrake and remove all of your optional x programs (xemacs, etc etc). Get rid of a few libraries too, if possible. It will blab about a bunch of dependancies and do you want to remove those too, and you say yes. Mass uninstallation of electives. That should make the list generated from the command above quite a bit shorter. Then, with X not running, remove the rest. Read the manpage for rpm, but it's something along the lines of # rpm -e and if it whines about depenancies, then go remove the dependancies first, then the . There must be easier ways to do it, i can think of one that involves a series of shell scripts, but it's one way to do it. The moral of the story is that all of the X-related files you want gone are a product of installed rpm packages, so "the correct way" to rid your system of them is to uninstall the rpm packages.

[expert] Help with escape codes (Kinda OT)
Greetings, everyone. While replacing an old NCR Unix box with Linux, I've run into a slight snag. It seems that bash doesn't interpret the generated rsh commands quite like Unix did (csh, I think). Basically, users on our production machine (another NCR Unix box) run a program that generates a shell command that is executed through rsh on the Linux box. The problem is when the user inserts either double quote or single quote characters in their comment lines. (These programs send faxes out through VSIFax on the Linux machine) The program normally formats the text lines like this: "\""Testing for bad command on quote or ampersand""\" When there are quotation marks in the text, they are formatted like this: "\""Sent 1/2\" and 3\" putty knife""\" What do I need to be using for the escape character in bash instead of the \ ? Thanks in advance, Wayne

hi, It depends on what you are trying to do. If you are trying to assign dynamic IP's to your lan, you just set it up to listen on the eth of the lan network. Couldn't you just use Drakconf to help you? Also, check the docs (how-to's) and it should give you a 1-2-3 on how to do it.

[expert] KDE and fatal error on X-server -- couldn't open font path
Folks, Three or four times now, KDE has refused to let me log out, even when I use the control-alt-del key sequence. I've brought up a terminal screen to reboot or shut down, and when I've tried to log back on, I get switched from run level 5 to run level 3 and must log on manually. When I try to run startx, it fails to come up and I get the following error message from the x-server: Error: bad length in symbols Output file "compiled/server-0-xkm removed Could not load XKB kepmap, falling back to pre-XKB keymap Could not init font path element unix/:-1, removing from list! Fatal server error: Could not open default font "fixed" Any thoughts on how to prevent this from happening again? I'm using ML7.2 and the KDE version on the install Cds (1.99?)

[expert] Updates (Descent Config utils in Mandrake 8.0 PLEASE!)
I have just read some stuff about MandrakeSoft making new ISO's with all the security fixes etc.. I don't think this is what we need. Ok, it is good if you release some "Updates" CD's for the people that don't have fast connections, but many of us just stick to updates. What we need is (like many have said) good MandrakeUpdate. The one that is in use now in almost at NO use for server installs. I don't have X on many servers, so I can't use MandrakeUpdate and other config tools (since all are X library dependant, even if they have text versions). What we need is a good text mode update system, that could be run from console too. There I would be given an option what I can upgrade and that is it! But don't make it so like MandrakeUpdate is...If there are 3 versions of same update I see all of them...I think we are interested in LATEST one not in older too... This is just my 2 cents...

Re: [expert] Removing Xwindows
Karl: This may or may not do the trick... Try removing with rpm -e. Something like this usually works for me whenever I'm removing something like X that has tons of dependencies: for rpm in $(rpm -qa | grep "^XFree86") do rpm -e $rpm done Of course, with X, there will be so many applications that also depend on it... Does anyone know whether rpm has the functionality to recurse through a packages dependency tree and either prompt for removal or just wipe out everything that depends on a package you know you want to remove? Or, is there, perhaps a contrib util for rpm that could handle such a thing? And, one question for you, Karl, did you choose "Server", "Workstation", or "Developer" from the menu when installing? I don't know, but I would guess that Server might not install X.

[expert] Mandrake 8 boot disk not working
I have been running Mandrake 8 pre beta for a couple of weeks with only a few problems. I decided to install v8 b1 last night. The install went fine (my boy loved the pics) but I like to boot from floppy for now with b1. After Installation though, the system looked at the floppy and continued to boot from hd (my 7.2 install). I tossed the floppy into my laptop, and it reads fine. I decided to try a reinstall. Same thing. However I can put my Mandrake 7.2 boot disk in and it will boot fine. I reinstalled v8b1 like 4 times last night with no success other than a good install- ation. Anyone have any idea why the bootdisk wont boot. I even tried a different disk that formatted fine in my gf's machine (Win 98). Brian D. Klar - CVE OTS WPAFB (937) 656-2861 (937) 973-3125 (pager)

Well, you're right on that score. I thought the original post was after a fully-functional Konquerer which may solve some of these problems.

Frankly, I wouldn't mind seeing Netscape being written I think there's some logic in believing that a browser, tightly integrated with a filemanager that is part of a desktop suite, may move us in that direction. My guess is that the move is going to happen with potholes in the road :-) Cheers --- Larry

[expert] Enabling DMA on IDE Disk drives.
I have a problem in Mandrake 7.2. Whenever I enable DMA access to my to
my harddisk my computer hangs and I see the following messages in the
message log:
kernel: hda: timout waiting for DMA
kernel: ide_dmaproc: chipset supported ide_dma_timeout func only: 14
kernel: hda: irq timeout: status=0x50 { DriveReady SeekComplete }
Enventually, DMA is disabled. I'm seeing this problem with the
production 2.2.17-21mdk kernel, my recompiled 2.2.17-21mdk kernel, and
the 2.2.18-14mdk kernel. I had previously used Mandrake 7.0 on this
same computer and was able to get DMA access to work by getting the
2.2.13 kernel source from kernel.org and adding the backported ide patch
to the kernel. My desktop computer also runs Mandrake 7.2 and has DMA
access enabled. The computer with problems is a Dell Latitude XPi CD
(Pentium 166 MMX) (No laughing please) with 80 MBytes of memory and a 2
GByte IBM disk drive. The chipset is identified as CMD643. Any and all
suggestions will be appreciated. Thank you in advance.
