[expert] Memory Leak
I figured I should share this result from the crashtesters. One of our crashtesters installed Traktopel Beta 2 and was running compilation programs. And his memory was used up... his swap was hit hard... and the system informed him it was out of memory and shutting down bash. Reinstall--same technique, same symptom. Fortunately the crashtesters have scripts that phone home with configuration information. I spotted a WD and a Maxtor on IDE0 and recommended he separate them--one on ide1 and one on ide0. He did this. Another reinstall -- same technique NO symptom--been reunning well since that time. Timing chatter on the IDE bus Some DVD-ROMs on VIA chipsets can cause corruption of install-time data on hard disks past kernel 2.2.15. WD and Maxtor of same speed or a slower WD with a fast Maxtor master will just eat your data with timing chatter. And since WD doesn't do the CRCs necessary to check, you can actually boot and run on a corrupted system (for a little while, anyway). Civileme
[expert] Since upgrading from KDE 2.1 to 2.1.1 - menu problems
I upgraded to kde 2.1.1 and now my menus in kde are all messed up. If I start kmenuedit, anything I do there has no effect on my menus. The only way I am able to alter/edit my kmenu is to copy files from /usr/share/apps/applnk.kde into $HOME/.kde/share/applnk. If I start kmenuedit, it LOOKS normal and OK there but it doesn't do anything. What is up with 2.1.1? It seems that with every update, kde is meaninglessly altered in subtle ways from the previous version just enough to dick everything up with no benefit gained from the change. These changes appear gratuitous and of no functional or usability benefit whatsoever. -- Against stupidity, the gods themselves contend in vain.

Re: [expert] Installation - Unsupported ethercard?
I have a Linksys card as well, and 7.2 intaller never recognized it. What I ended up having to do was set my old faithful ISA 3com card as eth0, then head out to Scyld's website and download the latest netdriver src.rpm. After building and installing the drivers, everything works just fine. Interestingly enough, the 8.0 beta2 actually detects the card and configures it properly. Unfortunately, it sees the PCI card before the ISA and sets everything up backwards.

Re: [expert] rsync to update isos?
Kelley, Kelley Terry wrote: rsync won't work on the iso images directly. They need to be the same name on the receiving side for starters. I guess, from reading the rest of the post, simply changing the name of the local iso image to match the remote iso image won't help? I don't know if you've seen any of my other posts (I've been posting (different notes) to expert, cooker, and to [EMAIL PROTECTED]). I've been trying to correct an iso with a bad md5sum (downloaded via ncftp) by using rsync. I've made a lot of attempts, most of the time I get a message "unexpected EOF in read_timeout". Do you have any hints to offer? Is this because I'm attempting to rsync an iso? I have the iso on a partition with enough empty space for another copy of the iso. I'm running rsync as root (su'd), and the local copy of the iso is owned by root with 777 permissions. PS: If what you describe below is what is required to use rsync to upgrade from one release to the next, I will second the suggestion. As a newbie I'd need to see exact instructions on how to assemble the iso images after rsyncing the modules. (I assume the modules must be assembled in the proper sequence to get the same md5sum.)

I just finished the 8.0 beta 2 download and now the mirrors already have beta 3. The only way my testing or comments (or others in the same situation) can be of any use is to have faster access to the betas. If some of the mirrors would carry separate rsync modules of each cd (not the iso images but the contents of the cd's) the beta versions could be upgraded by rsync very quickly. Then all you would need to do is remake the images with the correct switches for mkisofs so the md5sums can verify with those of the iso images on the servers. This would use more space on the servers but normally space isn't an issue compared with the much more expensive internet access time which this would save a lot of.

Re: [expert] Installation - Unsupported ethercard?
I too use the LNE100TX. It would not install for me during installation either. However, I was able to use Linuxconf and sometimes Networkconf (or whatever the drak tool is) to get it working immediately after install. Linuxconf will get the LNE100TX working flawlessly. However, probably because I am too lazy, I have never tried setting up the network device manually with ifconfig and such. Well, not from scratch anyway. However, I have used ifconfig for reporting and restart and such. ifconfig works flawlessly for me as far as I can tell so far. The only thing I can think of is that maybe ifconfig may require you to be root? If it says that it is not found, try the same ifconfig command as su and see if it finds it then. I can't remember off hand what the permissions are (unfortunately, I am on an NT machine at the time of this writing). You'd think that you might at least get status with ifconfig as a user, but maybe not. Maybe you need to add a networking group or something. Try it as root and see if it works. If so, I'd say the problem is simply a permissions problem. If you just want to get the LNE100TX working, try linuxconf. Write back with more detail if none of this works. Thanks.

Timing chatter on the IDE bus Some DVD-ROMs on VIA chipsets can cause corruption of install-time data on hard disks past kernel 2.2.15.

I tried to upgrade my libc and that didn't work. Am I going further and further down the wrong path? Terry L.

The current glibc rpm for whichever release you are using will provide libdl.so.2, which should be ok. Otherwise you are going to have to find compat-libc5 for your release. www.rpmfind.net is a good resource for tracking down what packages provide what files, as now you can search for the file you need and it will list the packages which provide it. -- Matthew Micene Systems Development Manager Express Search Inc. www.ExpressSearch.com
[expert] Problem with KDE 2.1
Hi, I'm having a problem with KDE 2.1 when my network connection is not working. I have Ameritech DSL, and therefore have decent amount of downtime, maybe 10%-20% of the time. My computer's network card is plugged into a LinkSys 4-port router, which is plugged into the DSL modem. When I boot into Linux, KDE takes several minutes to come up and be usable. If I try to start an application, like Konqueror, it will be a couple of minutes before it shows up. At this same time, the lights on the LinkSys router flicker on and off, almost like any KDE application is trying to talk to some server on the internet. If I try to start a program like xterm, or xcalc, they come up immediatly, which leads me to believe that it may be KDE specific. KDE and KDE applications run fine when the network connection is alive and well. Also, getting to the console login takes the same amount of time. Does anyone know of this being a known issue, or if there is a setting I have turned on that causes this to happen? Has anyone else seen something like this? I looked in the list of changes from 2.1 to 2.1.1, and it didn't look like there was anything that would solve this problem. Here is my system configuration: PII450, 128 MB RAM, Linksys 10/100 network card. Mandrake 7.2 2.2.17 Kernel X-Windows 4.0.3 QT 2.2 KDE 2.1 Thanks in advance for your help. -Kevin __ Do You Yahoo!?

[expert] Mandrake 8.0 kde-2.1.1 menudrake doesn't work
I installed KDE 2.1.1 and all works except the kmenu and kmenuedit. After the install, kmenu was essentially empty with only rudimentary entries like bookmarks, recent documents, run, etc. I finally managed to get the rest of the kde and other stuff into the kmenu by copying /usr/share/applnk.kde to $HOME/.kde/share/applnk-mdk. I can't do anything with menudrake/kmenuedit. If I open it up, it loads and displays entries like everything is normal but when I alter anything and save it, it does nothing. Besides that, the names of directories listed in kmenuedit do not correspond to what are actually there. Basically, kmenuedit is toast and useless now and I cannot seem to add any entries to my kmenu. I tried to create an entry for cdrtoaster but it came to naught. This is on a Mandrake 8.0 system, not a 7.2 system. -- Against stupidity, the gods themselves contend in vain.
[expert] DrakConf doesn't work in Mandrake 8.0
I have been trying to get cups and printing to work in Mandrake 8.0/cooker. No go. I cannot connect to my cups server though it is running. I try to run DrakConf to setup my printer and go from there. No go, DrakeConf doesn't work AT ALL. I get the window with the icons OK but no matter which one I select, when it tries to detect a printer (or mouse or whatever) it doesn't do anything and the xterm from which I am running DrakConf give me crap like: [root@localhost kde]# DrakConf Use of uninitialized value in subroutine entry at /usr/X11R6/bin/DrakConf.real line 203, VERS line 1. test 1 1 Use of uninitialized value in concatenation (.) at /usr/X11R6/bin/DrakConf.real line 518, VERS line 1.

Nice. What does it take to get printing and drakconf to work in Mandrake 8.0? I downloaded the source rpm for DrakConf and built and installed it. STILL wont work and STILL gives the above errors. Something isn't being checked for during configure, it seems, when one builds DrakConf since it didn't have any problems building and configure found no problems. -- Against stupidity, the gods themselves contend in vain.

[expert] Installation - Linksys Ethercard, round 2
Thanks to Wayne Stout, Terry L. Cary, Todd Flinders, Karl Cunningham, I have made progress. Here's where I am right now: DSL Router, also serving as the DHCP server and the firewall (it's a Zyxel Prestige 641, in case anyone is interested) at address 192.168.1.1 LinkSys PrintServer/4port Hub at 192.168.1.2 Mandrake 7.2 box at 192.168.1.3 using a LinkSys LNE 10/100 ethercard Win2k box at 192.168.1.33 (via DHCP), same type of ethercard Now, The Win2k box can ping everyone and can access the net. The Mandrake box can ping everyone EXCEPT the DSL Router. Pinging 192.168.1.1 hangs. Which would explain why DCHP doesn't fly. :-( I think the problem is that the NT connection is 10MB/half duplex whereas the Mandrake connection lights up the 100MB and full duplex lights on the Hub. Seems to me I need to get the card into 10MB, half duplex mode before I have a prayer of fixing anything else. First I tried to use the SRPMs at http://www.scyld.com/network/tulip.html. Finally, I downloaded the individual files (tulip.c, pci-scan.[ch] and kernel*.h), compiled and tried to install them. No dice. It seems that these lines in /etc/modules.conf are not being accepted alias eth0 tulip options tulip full_duplex=0 options=1 debug=6 So, how do I troubleshoot this? Thanks so much for all your consideration. -- Matthew O. Persico http://www.acecape.com/dsl AceDSL:The best ADSL in Verizon area
[expert] Looking for RealPlayer 7 (Seven)
Dear friends: I recently installed the RealPlayer 8 .bin version for Linux. I also installed all the plugins and mimetypes (sh mimetypes.sh and sh plugins.sh). Everything installed perfectly. However, I've noticed problems with RealPlayer 8. The broadband screen is half the size it should be (and no zoom option is available). Or else certain embedded files do not work or do not work properly. Obviously, the RealPlayer 8 rpm won't work on LM72. This is ironic. I used to have RealPlayer 7. I foolishly deleted it from my web site storage place when I installed RealPlayer 8. Would someone happen to still have a copy of the RealPlayer 7 rpm? If so, may I ask if you could send me a copy by email attachment? I would really appreciate it. But, before you do it, PLEASE contact me FIRST by regular email. I'll let you know if I still need it. Thank you so very much. Benjamin -- Sher's Russian Web http://www.websher.net Benjamin and Anna Sher [EMAIL PROTECTED]
