Re: [expert] RealPlayer8 failes
Dear Erik: You can get RealPlayer 8 from RealPlayer home page at http://www.real.com by selecting the free RealPlayer 8 Basic and then choosing under OS "Unix". This will take you directly to the Unix Community Supported RealPlayer page at: http://huxley.real.com/real/player/unix/unix.html?src=rpbform You have a choice of downloading two files for Linux: a RealPlayer8.rpm and the other file, which is a RealPlayer8.bin file. Due to the problem with "a different architecture", the rpm file will NOT install. It has been strongly advised by our gurus NOT to try to install it either by forcing it (--force) or by using the --ignorearch option. INSTEAD, do what I just did, thanks to a message from Wolfgang and from Tom Brinkman: First uninstall RealPlayer 7 by typing the command as root: #rpm -e RealPlayer Now install the RealPlayer8.bin file (around 5.8 meg) as ROOT. Then, as root, continue your installation and install the plugins and mimetypes. This is part of the installation as root. Just follow instructions until you have installed it fully as root. Then, as USER, go to the directory it has installed itself in, namely, /usr/local/RealPlayer8 and type: $/usr/local/RealPlayer8>sh mimetypes.sh and $/usr/local/RealPlayer8>sh plugins.sh This will give you the plugins and mimetypes as user. Now, all that's left is to make it more convenient to launch RealPlayer8 as a desktop icon. Create the icon, then in Properties, Execute type: kstart /usr/local/RealPlayer8/./realplay If you don't add "kstart" you won't be able to launch RealPlayer automatically from the icon. So, add the "kstart ..." and it's done. That's it. I am going to send this to the Newbie list. Hopefully, this will help other newbies. Thanks again.

RE: [expert] Lost sight of point (was: WAIT!! STOP!!...)
Whenever possible this is exactly what I do. Since the recompilation assures compatibility with existing libraries the resulting RPM's are normally far more stable than pre-compiled ones... Yes you've isolated the point of contention... Often the "unsupported" package releases are done by people who are hacking together changes for their own systems... The source RPM's are not always provided and they do not also provide RPM's for other releases.

RE: [expert] Lost sight of point (was: WAIT!! STOP!!...)
To begin with, this is not a Mandrake issue, it's a Linux issue. The K6 can execute i686 code, just not optimally for the processor. With the Kernel it's another matter altogether... The MTRR register differences PREVENTs the i686 compiled kernel to operate on a K6 afaik. When I tried it I got an kernel which would not fully init... That plus the byte alignment optimzations for the 686, make the i586 distro better for the K6 in terms of speed and compatibility. It's not a question of making the i686 distro, "properly" identify the k6... LINUX (as directed by Linus) "properly" identifies the K6 characteristics and classifies it as a i585 for optimal operation... There was quite an extensive thread about this some time ago in the kernel forums... It's also doubtful that MANDRAKE will alienate it's prospective clients. I wouldn't doubt that what they'll resort to doing is producing a common distro that installs a i586 kernel with i686 code RPM's... albeit with a slight loss of performance over i586 optimizations or a seperate i586 distro, as they've done for the i486. Given the perponderance of AMD's though, I'll bet they will choose the former as it makes good marketing sense... It would be pretty easy to implement in an installer... they already do this for SMP installations anyway... -JMS [EMAIL PROTECTED] -Original Message- From: David Rankin [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED]] Sent: Friday, March 30, 2001 1:20 AM To: [EMAIL PROTECTED]; mandrake Subject: Re: [expert] Lost sight of point (was: WAIT!!

First, you have to find the rpm. I recommend doing this command first:
rpm -qa | grep Real
That should bring up RealPlayer-[whatever the rest]
and then type:
rpm -ev RealPlayer
(I add "v" as I like to "see" what is going on.)

Exactly my point in my earlier post.. I hate to think I have to go back to my P-II 400 in order to run certain programs, it's much slower than my K6-2 450 (799 bogomips as compaired with 901 bogomips)..

[expert] Installing Real8.bin -- Success but...
Dear friends:
First, my thanks to everyone who wrote in with their suggestions and
advice.
One last stickler:
I just installed RealPlayer8.bin as instructed by Tom Brinkman.
Installation was a complete success EXCEPT...
1) First, in Netscape under plugins, I see the RealPlayer plugin .rpm
extension recognized ("Yes"). However, it clearly says: RealPlayer 7
plugin, NOT RealPlayer 8 plugin. Am I missing something here?
2) More importantly, RealPlayer8 launches perfectly from the console:
$usr/local/RealPlayer8/
[sher@sher07@sherlantz sher]$ cd /usr/local/RealPlayer8
[sher@sher07@sherlantz RealPlayer8]$ ls

Mailcap audiosig.rm raclass.zip rp7doc.xpm
[sher@sher07@sherlantz RealPlayer8]$ ./realplay
NO PROBLEMS. However...
If you try to launch it as an icon, you have to launch it by checking
"Run in terminal" under Properties. Execute or else it won't run. Well,
after it launches this awkward way, I just minimize the terminal. But is
there any way to run it directly from the icon without having to resort
to this workaround?
Still, I am pleased. Would appreciate the clarification, though.
Thank you all.

I installed Mandrake 7.2 for the first time. I am trying to get "rescue" to work. I can't get it to see my SCSI drives with reiserfs. The good news is that I do not need "rescue" now, but I do need to learn how to use it! When the machine is booted normally it needs the aic7xxx module to see the scsi drive. I have tried: modprobe aic7xxx lsmod tells me that the reiserfs, aic7xxx, and scsi_mod are loaded. Reiserfs is unused. scsi_mod used by aic7xxx aic7xxx unused When I give the command: mount -t reiserfs /dev/sda1 /mnt I get the "-- help screen" and the message: mount: The kernel does not recognize /dev/sda1 as a block device. (maybe `insmod driver') I also have tried starting with the command: rescue scsi_hostadapter aic7xxx I have also tried starting in "expert" mode then switching to the shell. Anyone know how to see these drives? If I was doing this on a damaged machine I would think it was dead! Thanks. -- Ed

[expert] Lost sight of point (was: WAIT!! STOP!!...)
We've lost sight of one of my original points in similar discussions. If Mandrake is a Pentium optimized distro and NOT a P2+ optimized distro, then i686 RPM's HAVE NO PLACE in the distro. Period. They just shouldn't be there. Never mind us annoyed K6-2 users. What about the kid on his dad's old K5 or Pentium 166 who can't install something because it's i686 compiled? "Jose M.

[expert] Athlon gcc?
Having just been given (yeah, RIGHT!) :) an athlon 1ghz based system, I was wondering about the state of Athlon-based optimizers for gcc on Linux. I did find the Athlon Linux project's home page, and did manage to find patches (albeit old ones) for gcc 2.95.2. The build went reasonably well with the patch installed (only one reject in version.c), but when running the built version, the athlon flags are just not available. gcc -v says it's getting the specs from i686-mandrake-linux and if I go into that directory, I see a spec file that does seem to list various Athlon machine types, so supposedly I should be able to use -mcpu=athlon. Unfortunately, gcc doesn't know what to do with this option. I figure I must have missed a step somewhere. Help appreciated - or if not, does there exist a set of gcc RPMs with Athlon patches for gcc? -- David E.

Re: [expert] Postfix remote and local delivery
Lieven, As a matter of fact there is. It's called Procmail. It's quite easy to use, and there should be a fair amount of documentation on your system already about it. However, if you can't find it I can help get you going. As I said it should already be installed on your system, but if it's not you can easily install the rpm package. the next thing you would have to do is put together a .procmailrc file to do the filtering for you. I'm assuming from your post that that is what the .qmail file was doing for you. Let me know what you want to do and if you decide to use procmail I'll send you my .procmailrc file as an example that you can examine and work off of until you become accustomed to procmail.

[expert] Installing RealPlayer8.bin
Dear Wolfgang and friends: A little problem: I am going to try to install the RealPlayer8 .bin file, which I have just downloaded. But how do I UNinstall my RealPlayer7 RPM? I have tried all sorts of combinations: rpm -e realplay rpm -e RealPlayer rpm -e RealPlayer7 None of this works. Very confusing. Each time I get a message telling me that RealPlayer is not installed on my system. That's funny. I am listening to the RealPlayer 7 rpm even as I write this. Similarly, The RealPlayer7 directory is where it should be /usr/lib/RealPlayer7 So, what do you suggest, please? I don't want to try to install the new RealPlayer8. bin using Tom Brinkman's instructions as provided by Wolfgang Bornath until this is clarified. Thanks so much.

On Thu, 15 Feb 2001 Tom Brinkman <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> sent a mail to this mailinglist with a working (at least for me) mini-HOWTO to install RealPlayer 8 on Mandrake 7.2 including plugins and mime handling: --snip-- do an ftp search (http://ftpsearch.lycos.com/?form=medium) for rp8_linux20_libc6_i386_cs1.bin (5.6mb) That'll return at least 15 links worldwide and you can spare yourself the hassle of going thru Real's B$ to get it. As root run ./rp8_linux20_libc6_i386_cs1.bin and it'll take care of everything including NSplugin's and mime types. Problem is, for root only. So as user, cd to /usr/local/RealPlayer8 and run sh mimeinstall.sh && sh pluginstall.sh If you want Konqueror to use RP8, goto Control Center | Web browsing | NetScape Plugins | 'Scan for new Plugins', apply. Then re-start user's X session. RealPlayer8 should now be on your main menu, and auto used by both Konqueror and NutScrape when you click on a G2/realplayer link. ---snap--- As I wrote, this worked perfectly for me, the plugin shows in about:plugins and all the videos and/or audio sites started RP with the klick on the link. wobo -- GPG-Fingerprint: FE5A 0891 7027 8D1B 4E3F 73C1 AD9B D732 A698 82EE For Public Key mailto [EMAIL PROTECTED] with Subject: GPG-Request --- ISDN4LINUX-FAQ -- Deutsch: http://www.wolf-b.de/i4l/i4lfaq-de.html

Re: [expert] Urgent: Mandrake Updates hosed?
I've pushed ahead a bit further and this is what I'm finding. The three RPMs that are causing problems for me are gmc, pine, and userdrake. The first time I tried to update them, I got the "hard drive thrashing and X frozen" behaviour. The second time (after rebuilding the RPM database), I got the "package_name already installed message" despite the fact that it was still showing up in the "available but not yet installed" list. What I ended up doing was "rpm -q package_name" so that both versions of the package were named. Then "rpm -e package_name_version_number" to explicitly delete each version. Then ran Update again and installed the updated version. This worked but, of course, shouldn't have been necessary. M.

What file to I change (and how do I change it) so the USB will be an option in Hardrake for the modem? thanks if you can help, Don Get free email and a permanent address at http://www.netaddress.com/?N=1 Don Hinds - photo, motorcycle, misc. http://www.wyzards.com Get free email and a permanent address at http://www.netaddress.com/?N=1
[expert] what has become of mandrakeupdate?
I recently downloaded the mandrakeupdate src rpm for mandrake 8.0 (cooker), built it and installed it. There is no mandrakeupdate in it despite the name. There is only grpmi. In the i586 binary directory there is also mandrakeupdate rpm. What has become of it? I cannot run mandrakeupdate anymore because I am essentially up to 8.0 level and my last functional mandrakeupdate was from 7.2. -- Against stupidity, the gods themselves contend in vain. --

RE: [expert] Kudzu - Unwanted Intervention
Maybe good be a good idea to not start kudzu everytime you boot (disable in the init scripts). I guess you do not add new hardware everytime you boot?

I've got a similar situation going on with Corporate Server 1.0.1. I did an upgrade from 1.0 to 1.0.1. When it was finished, I brought the system up as normal and decided to run Mandrake Update just to see if there was anyting I missed. In the list of updates available are the 2.2.16 kernal RPMs. This is very weird because the currently installed kernel (via selecting upgrade during the install) is 2.2.17. It used to be 2.2.15. Anyone want to venture a quess as to why I'm seeing updates for the 2.2.16 kernel? Oh, and I'm also seeing other packages showing up like Mike described.

Re: [expert] Can't locate module binfmt-0000
Here's an explanation from another group ... when you launch an executable in linux, the kernel identifies the format (elf, aout, etc) of the executable by the first couple of bytes. it then tries to load a module to handle the loading of that executable. if it cant find the appropriate module, an error is logged. e.g. % dd if=/dev/zero of=/tmp/test bs=1k count=1 % chmod 755 /tmp/test % /tmp/test /tmp/test: Exec format error. Binary file not executable. and via syslog..

[expert] Urgent: Mandrake Updates hosed?
Last night I did a clean reinstall of 7.2, installed pmfirewall and KDE 2.1, and then ran MandrakeUpdate to get the security updates. Before running Update, I did an "rpm --rebuilddb" and "update-menus -v". I did the updates a few at a time (6-8 packages), then rebuild the RPM database before continuing. By the time I got to gpm, gnome-media, and gnupg, the hard disk started thrashing and X locked up. I had to power-down the system to reboot. I tried again (after rebuilding the RPM database). This time when I hit those packages, I got a message from MandrakeUpdate saying that they'd already been installed -- even though they still showed up as "updates available but not yet installed". So I continued on further down the updates list and the same thing happened again. I rebooted, rebuilt the RPM database, then tried several different Update mirrors. Same thing in every case. This morning I completely reinstalled 7.2, pmfirewall, and KDE 2.1, then again ran MandrakeUpdate. Again, when I reach the "g's" in the update list, the drive starts thrashing and X freezes up. Is it possible that one or more corrupt RPMs have been propogated through the Update mirrors? Or is it more likely something on my system? (I must say that I've been following this procedure for months with absolutely no problems.) Thanks. M. -- Michael O'Henly TENZO Design
[expert] Cannot log into FTP anonymously.
I've got an ftp server running on a laptop at my desk here at work. I tried to configure it to accept anonymous logins, but whenever I try to log into it I get a pw error.

I just skimmed an article in Linux Journal about oftpd which may be even better. Its a read-only (I think) ftp server that ONLY takes anon connections.

If ftpd is configired to verify your @foo.com domain in your password (*), having name lookups fail could cause things to hose. And, yes, ypbind is (can be) part of your name lookup sequence. Probably a good idea to get that fixed and see whats still broken.
