[expert] Logitech optical mouse
Hello all, I just wanted to know if anyone else has had an issue with getting the mouse wheel to work on a Logitech optical mouse using either mdk 7.2 or 8.0 beta 3. So far, I have not been able to get mine to work and was wondering if this was just a driver issue. I have tried to get it going using imwheel, but that didn't work. I thought that it was based on the MouseMan or MouseMan+ series, but loading those drivers hasn't worked either. If anyone has an idea on this, please let me know. Thanks, Josh WCSP Certified http://www.thesauerfamily.net
[expert] Creative Dxr3 and beta 3
I just wanted to find out if anyone has had any experience in getting the Creative Dxr3 DVD-Player to work with Mandrake 8.0 beta 3. If someone has, can you please give me some ideas on what to try. I have attempted to load the modules from dxr3.sourceforge.net, however, everytime I do, I end up having issues with the kernel compiling (mostly because I forget something and another piece of hardware may not work afterwards). Anyways.. Thank you in advance. Josh WCSP Certified http://www.thesauerfamily.net Linux-Mandrake, because everything else is a closed window

Re: [expert] Problem with KDE 2.1
Hi, the last line of your email was right. A friend of mine at work suggested that I add my host name to the /etc/hosts file. He said that KDE was probably trying to resolve my host name, and couldn't because it couldn't talk to the DNS server. Once I added my IP Address and the host name to the hosts file, everything worked as fast as before.

[expert] DrakLogo
Ok... I've never used this before, but I've just changed my startup logo to one of my own. It tells me that I need to recompile my kernel, the question is... Which one? In /usr/src/ there are 3 directories: /linux, /linux-2.2.17, and one I placed there - /linux-2.4.2. I'm currently using LM 7.2 straight outta the box. I've compiled 2.4.2 and created an entry for it in LILO, so compiling a kernel is something I've done before. The question is: Which directory do I need to be in? /linux or /linux-2.2.17?

Hi All, before I fire up bugzilla I just wanted to pause for a sanity check. Has anyone on the list installed 8.0 RC1 and tried to use Apache? With a clean install, it wouldn't start becuase of the ssl modules. If you comment them out it starts, but doesn't recognise any .php extensions. I tried uninstalling and re-installing all of the Apache stuff (all of the mod stuff and all of the php stuff as well) but it still act's the same. For me the 8.0 Beta 1 was the last beta that worked. Beta 2 seemed to be completely hosed RC-1 looks good except for the Apache stuff, which seems to be a step back.

Re: [expert] Installation - Linksys Ethercard, round 2
Okay, well, I have definitely had both 10 and 100 on my network working on the same time. However, my situation may be a bit different. I have a 10/100 switch which I expect can handle this situation better. I then occasionally attach a 10 hub through the uplink. I never expect anything more than 10 from the hub sense that is all it can handle. And my switch handles both speeds with no problems. Both are Linksys. Hope that helps. Maybe hubs can't handle the different speeds, but my switch does. --- David Rankin [EMAIL PROTECTED] wrote: Todd Flinders wrote: Now, I do not think that the problem is with 10/100 variances. I have had both 10 and 100 devices on my network and there was not a problem. However, your hub/switch/router will have to be 10/100. Otherwise, their could be grief. But since the rest of your network is working fine, I doubt this is the case. MY SOAP BOX Hmm... Now I'm not so sure about this one. In the Windows world, I have had problems with networked machines on the same segment wanting to run at 10 (if one machine on the lan is only capable of 10) or 100 if you have all 100 mip capable cards and UTC CAT 5. The problem being this: Let's say you have a Linux server and 14 WinXX clients with PCI 10/100 NICs, a CAT 5 UTP backbone, a 16 port 10/100 hub (or whatever tying them together), and 1 WinXX client with an ISA 10 Mip NIC. Based upon my experience, if you want all machines to talk, you have 3 options: (1) Set all 14 PCI WinXX machines and the Linux box to run at 10 mips (via the drivers); or (2) Find a 10/100 ISA NIC (3Com 515TX -- Costs more that the ISA machine is worth); or (3) Get rid of the machine that doesn't support a 10/100 NIC and replace it with one that does. (I don't care if it's nothing more than a 233 Mhz P2 with an open PCI slot for a 10/100 NIC) I'm no expert, and I can't give you a dissertation about the finer points of 10/100 "auto-sensing" compatibility, but I can tell you that if you have more than 1 WinXX box with shared resources on a lan segment, and, it's not all 10 or 100, you are going to have to reach the lowest common denominator (i.e. 10 mips) to make the windows boxes play nicely together. If someone else can enlighten me on how to have an "auto-sensing" hub handle both 10 and 100 Mips WinXX machines on the same lan segment, I am all ears. When I was running WinXX peer-to-peer, I had both Dell and Linksys on the phone trying to figure out why my machines would not talk to each other. The answer was simply, on the same lan segment, it's either 10 or 100, not both. Auto-sensing is a great thing, "the dumb hub can figure out if its going to talk at 10 or 100 all by itself!" (They just don't tell you it can't talk and listen at 10 and 100 at the same time ;-) My solution was to scrap the old ISA machine (the secretary's - of course) and replace it with one that would support 100TX. Crank all machines up to 100 Mips. And now, my Linux/Samba, Win95, Win98, WinME Lan absolutely screams. If I try and copy my accounting data file (small, but ~ 7 meg) from a WinXX machine to Linux or vice-versa while in Windows, the Copy dialog doesn't even have time to appear.

[expert] Conflicting devices?
I finally got around to attempting to get my Crystal PnP soundcard working in Linux. Sndconfig almost worked this time (it would not work previously, RPM would not let me install it, but it magically did this time). To get my sound to work, I had to change an IRQ in isapnp.conf: # Start dependent functions: priority preferred # IRQ 9. # High true, edge sensitive interrupt (by default) (INT 0 (IRQ 11 (MODE +E))) #_This 11 was previously a 10 # Logical device decodes 16 bit IO address lines # Minimum IO base address 0x0330 # Maximum IO base address 0x0330 # IO base alignment 8 bytes # Number of IO addresses required: 2 (IO 0 (BASE 0x330)) I had to do this manually, because sndconfig would not let me choose IRQ 11 for my card. After I rebooted, my sound worked. (Except for olp3, which is midi, right?) But my D-Link DFE-530-TX PCI network card, which is on IRQ 10, did not, so I no longer have internet connectivity from within Linux. Curiously, during boot the step "Determining IP information for eth0 via dhcpcd," which takes about one minute to tell me "FAILED", took only a second or so to fail after I made this change to isapnp.conf.Please give me a hand with this, I am *so* close to being able to do everything in Linux that I could under Windows, without crashes :) Thanks!

(#5.2.2) Reporting-MTA: dns; bouncemessage.net Final-Recipient: rfc822; [EMAIL PROTECTED] Action: Failed Status: 5.2.2 5.0.0 Okay, I have a fairly new LNE100TX ethernet card and I was able to use the tulip driver that came with Mandrake 7.2 (Complete and download version) just fine by setting it up after the initial install with linuxconf. I did not have to download any new drivers. I do not have any set answers, but I would try ensuring that your Linux box is set up to receive DHCP. It should try to get its IP from the DHCP server. Of course, if for some reason it can't get to the server, then there is going to be problems. However, I can't imagine why it could ping everything on the network but the DHCP server. I'm no expert, but that doesn't make much sense to me. I am also suspicious that you pointed out that Win2k is DHCP, but you did not do so for Linux. I would expect everything connected to the DHCP server would have to be DHCP unless you have a pretty sophisticated server (again, I am no expert.) So, I would ensure that you do indeed have Linux set up to get its network information from the DHCP server. I'm thinking that if you are trying to route through the DHCP server with a static IP, MAYBE the DHCP server is just refusing you because it doesn't recognize you. I don't know. I would try that. Now, I do not think that the problem is with 10/100 variances. I have had both 10 and 100 devices on my network and there was not a problem. However, your hub/switch/router will have to be 10/100. Otherwise, their could be grief. But since the rest of your network is working fine, I doubt this is the case. I'm sorry that at this time I do not have more specific advice, but I would at least ensure with linuxconf or manually going through the files that Linux is properly set up to receive an IP from the DHCP server and does not automatically assign its own static IP. Since your Linux has an IP and is pinging other boxes, it seems to me that it is set up with a static IP and that is probably problematic. I apologize if my advice is stupid. Alternatively, you could set up your Win2k and router to use static IPs. If this is a home network, that would probably be nicer anyway because then you would be able to control port forwarding and such if your router has a hardware firewall. That is what I do with my Linksys cable modem router. It works well for me. If you come across any more details, please post them. Take care. --- "Matthew O.

For me the 8.0 Beta 1 was the last beta that worked. Beta 2 seemed to be completely hosed RC-1 looks good except for the Apache stuff, which seems to be a step back.

[expert] Mandrake 8.0 kernel-2.4.3-17mdk is NOT working!
Gah! I am going crazy with the multitude of problems that apparently exist in Mandrake Cooker right now (I KNOW it is beta but until now I have NEVER had so many problems with Cooker stuff). Among the MANY problems: drakx software doesn't work. Period. I open up DrakConf and try to do ANYTHING with hardware, XFree, and DrakConf refuses to work. It cannot simply wont display anything - if I select printers, display, etc (I want to change my default X resolution and am not permitted to with ANY Mandrake tools and I want to setup my printer and not a single tool with Mandrake will let me). Now, I downloaded kernel-source-2.4.3-17mdk and the headers, did my usual xconfig and build. It built just fine, as usual, but no matter what I do, the resultant kernel will NOT bootup. It kernel panics instead with: Cannot mount root device "306" or 03:06 Please append correct "root=" boot option. Excuse me? Has something been totally and royally screwed up and changed in 2.4.3 vs 2.4.2 kernels? I ask because I have a 2.4.2 kernel, built by myself with essentially the same options and modules, and it boots just fine, thank you. 2.4.3? A total loser. IS there something fundamental that I should know about in the 2.4.3 kernel that is way different from the 2.4.2 kernels that prevents it from booting as I describe? I have looked over my lilo: boot=/dev/hda map=/boot/map install=/boot/boot.b vga=791 default=242-20 keytable=/boot/us.klt lba32 prompt timeout=50 message=/boot/message menu-scheme=wb:bw:wb:bw other=/dev/hda1 label=dos table=/dev/hda other=/dev/fd0 label=floppy unsafe image=/boot/vmlinuz-2.4.2-4mdk label=linux root=/dev/hda6 read-only append="hde=ide-scsi" optional image=/boot/vmlinuz-2.4.2-7mdk label=242-ati root=/dev/hda6 read-only append="hde=ide-scsi" optional image=/boot/vmlinuz-2.4.2-20mdk label=242-20 root=/dev/hda6 read-only append="hde=ide-scsi" optional image=/boot/vmlinuz-2.4.3-17mdk label=243-17 root=/dev/hda6 read-only append="hde=ide-scsi" optional Is there something wrong here? If so, I don't see it. WHY WONT KERNEL 2.4.3 BOOT?! How can I change my default X resolution? It is apparently 2046x1076 or something ungodly like that on my 17" monitor. No me gusto. -- Against stupidity, the gods themselves contend in vain.

[expert] where does install_any.pm come from?
One of the major components to all my Mandrake Cooker problems appears to be the lack of install_any.pm. From what rpm (I believe it must one of the perl rpms) does install_any.pm come from? -- Against stupidity, the gods themselves contend in vain.
[expert] kde 7.2 unsupported.
Hi, I am running kde 2.1-2(kde-base)/unsupported. Just tried to check for an unsupported directory to see if there have been any updates but cannot find one. I think the original I used was on sunet, but cannot find that one either. Can someone give a link to an unsupported directory please? BillK
[expert] Someone from mandrake want to toss me a bone?
OK, I really need some help here. I built kernel-2.4.3-17mdk without any problem using essentially the same settings as a successful build of 2.4.2-20mdk. Kernel-2.4.3-17mdk will NOT bootup. It gives a kernel panic about not being able to mount root device "306" or 03:06, and states that I need to pass it a proper "root=" append. Huh? 2.4.2 has NO problems with my system at all but 2.4.3 refuses to accept my system. It built just fine. Second. ALL drakxtools are totally dicked up and unworkable. I have tried various versions of drakxtools on my system from 33.5mdk to 91mdk and they ALL fail to work. If I try to change my X resolution using drakx, I get: String found where operator expected at /usr/lib/libDrakX/modules.pm line 583, near "output "/proc/parport/0/irq"" (Do you need to predeclare output?) syntax error at /usr/lib/libDrakX/modules.pm line 583, near "output "/proc/parport/0/irq"" Compilation failed in require at /usr/sbin/XFdrake line 24.

Besides that, what the hell does a parport or IRQ have to do with XFree86 resolution?! Why does it matter one bit what /proc/parport has in it if all I want to do is change my default X resolution? I also cannot use printerdrake: everything already installed Undefined subroutine interactive::deref called at /usr/lib/libDrakX/interactive.pm line 284. Totally useless...I have a printer but cannot install it because printerdrake is dorked up. I have also tried compiling drakxtools from source. It builds but produces the same damn errors.

Re: [expert] Someone from mandrake want to toss me a bone?
Ok, i'm about to offer my two cents. But first let me say that this is not a criticism of DrakX, Linuxconf, or any other "to configure, press this button" configuration tool. They rock! Why reinvent the wheel? Why make things difficult when there is an easy way? But, enjoying linux for what it is, here's my $0.02: This is why it's good to know how to configure things manually and not to have to depend on a configuration utility. There! I said it. Having said that, i don't know how to help you with a manual configuration of your printer or your kernel. For your printer, i would suggest poking around in /etc/sysconfig. For your kernel, i would suggest installing it from source, as opposed to rpm. And for drakconf, i don't have anything to suggest. ?, j --- Praedor Tempus [EMAIL PROTECTED] wrote: OK, I really need some help here.

Re: [expert] Dual processor MB ?
Totally agree on the price / performance ratio in the favor of Athlon /=20 Duron ... But are there any SMP motherboards supporting AMD CPUs available= I believe there are.

Re: [expert] Someone from mandrake want to toss me a bone?
Yeah, well the problem there is that I have tried three things: XFree86 -configure and xf86cfg and xf86config XFree86 -configure works, sortof. I get a working X but it has the color depth of 256 colors at 2048x1024 as the default. I have tried editing the resulting XF86Config to change this to no avail. xf86cfg flat out doesn't work. It crashes at startup. xf86config works, sort of, but it doesn't help me with color depth. The kernel: I installed kernel-source-2.4.3-17mdk and the associated kernel-headers. I then did the xconfig, make dep, make clean, make bzImage, etc. It builds just fine and installs fine. What it absolutely will NOT do is boot. Instead, it kernel panics regardless of what settings I change. I am using the same settings/modules, etc, that worked perfectly for 2.4.2-20mdk when I built that. I am about to annihilate XFree86 off my system and reinstall it from scratch. Hopefully that will fix the problems associated with it, but it wont do squat for the kernel. I am going to have to reinstall the 2.4.2 source so I can rebuild DRI for my radeon card. I was going to do it with 2.4.3, but since it is a useless kernel, it's back to 2.4.2.
