Re: [expert] GUI startup - black screen
Hello Darek, I would suspect the screen resolution that is being applied in the autoboot (init 5) which your matrox card handles badly. I recall now that I had to use Xconfigurator to get the screen resolution dwon to something pretty basic (800x600) and then it would boot. The fact that startx won't work would seem to indicate this. hth Mike - Original Message - From: "Darek KUZARA" [EMAIL PROTECTED] To: [EMAIL PROTECTED] Sent: Friday, April 06, 2001 8:26 AM Subject: Re: [expert] GUI startup - black screen "Jose M.

[expert] Relinking in Galeon/Mozilla -- how?
Dear friends: After experimenting with the failed dependencies of Galeon 10.2 and Mozilla 0.8.1. for Mandrake, I have finally settled on galeon-0.8.1-rh6_2, which is a) a i386 file, NOT a i586 file, b) is a Red Hat i386 file and c) most strangely, is to be found in Mandrake-devel/unsupported/7.2/i586 (!). A Red Hat 386 file right in the middle of nothing but i586 Mandrake files. Note: This version of Galeon (0.8.1) is dated March 1 and is based on Mozilla 0.8 (dated Feb 17, 2001), not on the latest Mozilla 0.8.1 (dated March 26, 2001). That's fine. By the way, I did not find a src.rpm file under SRPMS in the corresponding directory. Well, that doesn't bother me, folks. Just mentioning this as background for my problem. PROBLEM: I installed Mozilla 0.8 (a 586 file, which I rebuilt from the RH 6.2 source rpm). No problem. I then installed Galeon 8.1 (a Galeon version compatible with Mozilla 0.8). The installation went very well. All plugins and bookmarks were transferred automatically. However, during the install, Galeon issued the following error message. It looks pretty harmless, but I don't really know how to carry out the instructions. Meanwhile, Galeon keeps crashing when I try to surf. Is the crashing related to the error message below? [sher@sher07 sher]$ galeon /usr/bin/galeon-bin: Symbol `__vt_28nsCreateInstanceByContractID' has different size in shared object, consider re-linking /usr/bin/galeon-bin: Symbol `__vt_16nsQueryInterface' has different size in shared object, consider re-linking Thanks so much. I like Galeon, but if it keeps crashing, I'll never get a chance to find out what it can or can't do. Hope to hear from a Galeon fan.

[expert] Installing 586 over 386?
Dear friends: A quick question: If you are installing a i586 file over an i386 file (all things being otherwise identical, including distro, etc.) should you first uninstall the i386 and then install the i586 or is this automatically taken care of by the --Uhv option, just as it when installing higher versions of programs on top of each other (e.g. Mozilla .8 over Mozilla .7)? Are we talking about the same UNINSTALL/INSTALL process in -Uvh or are we talking about apples and oranges? Thank you so much.

Re: [expert] Netscape Locking Up
Dear Craig: May I suggest one thing that may or may not solve your problem. I had the same problem with Netscape. It crashe every ten minutes. Finally, after consulting with a computer friend, I decided to switch from a PS/2 mouse to a serial mouse. Real easy to do. Bingo, all problems with Netscape disappeared. Or almost all problems. Now, it is pretty rare for Netscape to actually crash. I can write a letter in Netscape for two hours with the security that it won't be wiped out by a crash. Still, just to be sure, I save it as a draft every few paragraphs. Try it (or try a USB mouse). The problem in my case was an IRQ conflict that was causing instability everywhere, not just in Netscape. And suddenly, KDE was stable as a rock, and even Netscape behaved.

[expert] Notebook install via ftp [3. edition]
I'm still not able to get a ping through from my notebook with TinyLinux (Kernel 2.2.6) to my desktop (MDK 7.2). But today I found a SuSE 7.0 evaluation CD in my mail and installed it on a spare harddisk in my desktop. Network configuration was a 2 minutes job and drumroll the desktop can ping the notebook and vice versa. Telnet and ftp work without any prob. I checked both systems (Mandrake and SuSE) and in both systems I made the same entries (IPs and names). There it works, here it doesn't. ? This leaves me with one option: Mandrake must use a different handling of networking. But how does that help me? I don't like SuSE that much. So I just installed it out of curiosity but don't want to keep it. 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

1. lapmolch is pinging molch:
[root@molch wobo]# tcpdump -ex
tcpdump: listening on eth0
lapmolch(.2) ARPing for molch(.3):
10:32:06.173354 0:a0:c:14:8b:6b Broadcast arp 60: arp who-has

0001 0800 0604 0001 00a0 0c14 8b6b c0a8
6402 c0a8 6403
Since tcpdump is seeing this packet, molch does see lapmolch's ARP,
and replies here:
10:32:06.173432 0:50:ba:31:f:b2 0:a0:c:14:8b:6b arp 42: arp reply
molch.wolf-b.de is-at 0:50:ba:31:f:b2

6403 00a0 0c14 8b6b c0a8 6402
which lapmolch sees allowing it to ping, which molch sees (it's running
tcpdump):
10:32:06.173906 0:a0:c:14:8b:6b 0:50:ba:31:f:b2 ip 98:

2828 0809 0a0b 0c0d 0e0f 1011 1213
1415 1617 1819
then, for some reason molch tries to ARP itself rather than send a ping reply:
10:32:06.173996 0:50:ba:31:f:b2 Broadcast arp 42: arp who-has
molch.wolf-b.de tell molch.wolf-b.de
0001 0800 0604 0001 0050 ba31 0fb2 c0a8
6403 c0a8 6401
So molch appears to have a problem above.
Let's look at the other now...

2. molch is pinging lapmolch:

molch is ARPing for itself
10:37:02.071155 0:50:ba:31:f:b2 Broadcast arp 42: arp who-has

Re: [expert] Netscape Locking Up
I use konqueror for most browsing but... Konqueror doesn't handle javascript as well as netscape does. There are some sites I frequent that require javascript work to make the website useful and konqueror just wont do it (my M$ outlook email interface at work is one such page that doesn't work well in konqueror). There are other sites that use flash and such that konqueror can't deal with even when the netscape flash plugin is available. For some sites, konqueror is not an option and only netscape can handle them. Don't know about Opera but then, I suppose it doesn't do netscape plugins which would rule it out for many sites.

Re: [expert] Netscape Locking Up
One website that konqueror (at least on my system - Mandrake 8.0) can't handle is the DRI website. What happens: First off, the page is misrendered in text if I select any of the links to other DRI pages (the main page is OK). The problem is parts of the text overwrite each other so as to be unreadable. If I then go up to the View menu, then down to "set encoding" and select either of the Arabic encodings, which works on the MANY other web pages that are similarly misrendered, instead of fixing the page I am on, it dumps me back to the main DRI page. So, I can either browse the documentation, etc, pages at the DRI website and try to read around the misrendered, dicked up text OR I can start netscape and view the pages without any problems at all. Konqueror encoding defaults to "auto" and it is dicked up in KDE 2.1. I don't know about 2.1.1 but with the problems that version appears to have I am not going to try it and will wait for 2.1.2.

Re: [expert] Netscape Locking Up
Here is the link to the Direct Rendering page: http://dri.sourceforge.net For an example of the problem select the Documentation link, then choose either the User Guide link or the DRI Compilation Guide link. Scroll down the page and you should find that some of the text on the page is screwed up. On the Users Guide page, for instance, page down until you get to XF86Config file section. There should be blocks of text in that section that are displayed all screwy. Paging down in the Compilation Guide you should find similar blocks of text that are screwed up. By screwed up I mean that ALL the text of that block is rendered on top of itself and is thus, unreadable. On MOST pages that this happens on, all you need to do is go to View - Set encoding and select something (I usually select Arabic at the top) and this fixes it but on these DRI pages, you get kicked back to the homepage instead. There are a few military pages that require SSL (which I do have) support in the browser (which I have enabled in konqueror) but will not allow me to connect because the sites tell me that I don't have SSL. Changing the user agent to fake being IE doesn't help. On Friday 06 April 2001 18:09, s wrote: H. Well, I don't go to exotic sites too often. I haven't had a problem.

RE: [expert]Thanks! (was anonymous ftp login)
Thanks Mark! I tried getting anonftp installed but it complained that it wanted wu-ftp installed also. I installed both of them but they complained about conflicts with proftpd; I uninstalled them again and took a look at proftpd and found out that I could get it do exactly what I wanted it to. I just had to add a couple of lines to my existing /etc/proftpd.conf file and viola! Thanks again for your help! I wouldn't have found out about proftpd if I hadn't installed the other two packages.

Re: [expert] Netscape Locking Up
Actually, now that I think about it, the problem may well lie with the fact that I have font antialiasing enabled with qt-2.3.0 in KDE. It works well for most things but some fonts are totally screwed. As for the DRI site...the package is NICE. I have an ATI Radeon 32 DDR video card that I just installed with DRI in mind. Now that I have hardware OpenGL 3d acceleration enabled, graphics and games go VERY well. Running the Mesa toy app "gears" from an xterm gives me an average framerate of 880. With nothing else running, I have seen 1000 FPS. Fullscreen I get 160 fps. Before, without hardware accel, I would get around 100 fps in default screen size and only about 23 fps fullscreen. The games Heretic2 and Terminus look and run great. DRI was well worth the minor effort it took to download and build (also had to rebuild my kernel to make it all play together). If you have a decent video card with 3d accel capability other than an Nvidia, I highly recommend the DRI code.

Dear friends: Thanks to Peter Schram, I discovered a real goldmine for LM72 rpms. Here is the address: http://texstar.dyn.dhs.org/ You will find here the latest Mozilla 0.8.1, the latest galeon (and all required dependencies -- one of which, the libdst++ .so.3 or something like that included in GConf), the latest Gnome 1.4 (including Nautilus), etc. etc. Be sure to bookmark the site.

[expert] Mozilla 0.8 LM72 rpm (March 26) at Textar -- Correction
Dear friends: Just for the record: The Mozilla 0.8.1 LM72 rpm available at Texttar's LM72 site is still the old Feb 17, 2001 version. However, I expect soon to see the latest 0.8.1 LM72 rpm available on their site. URL: http://texstar.dyn.dhs.org/ I do not believe that you can use the Cooker version because of the incompatible versions of the rpm file (version 3 vs. version 4) in LM72 vs LM8.

Re: [expert] PHP Memory Error
It could generate 8MB though... I use a wwwproxy script written in perl for example which reads files from a box behind our NAT firewall and shows them to the outside world. What the script does is: it reads the entire file, then outputs it to stdout. Can you imagine how much memory it would need for an iso image? Maybe your script does something similar: create huge amounts of data for displaying on the browser, or for internal hell-do-I-know? The script itself doesn't need to be big; it's the data it generates that's the problem.
