[expert-it] Problemi con l'installazione della Mandrake 8.
Salve a tutti, ho un grandissimo problema. Ho comprato un nuovo PC così composto: Scheda Madre ASUS A7V133 con chipset VIA KT133 e BIOS ver. 1004. Scheda Video Matrox G450 Scheda Audio Sound Blaster Live 1024 Scheda di Rete Intel 100Mb Memoria 3x256 MB Dischi (ambedue ATA100): IBM DTLA 45GB QUANTUM FIREBALL 20GB Modem Asus ISDN USB. Ragazzi non riesco ad installare Linux in nessun modo. Mi si pianta l'installazione addirittura quando deve formattare il disco (se faccio delle partizioni estese) altrimenti mi si pianta dopo che ha copiato i primi file. Credo di ricevere un kernel panic ma non ne sono sicuro perchè l'installazione grafica non lo fa vedere. Ho fatto tutti i test del caso: le memorie sono a posto, i dischi anche con winzozz riesco a formattarli ed usarli tutti e due senza problemi. Qualche suggerimento? Nessuno di voi ha mai provato ad installare linux su di una macchina fatta più o meno come quella che ho indicato sopra? dr.

Non sono sicuro che nel tuo caso il problema sia hardware. Io ho avuto molti problemi ad installare Mandrake 8.0, perche' ogni volta che arrivavo al probing del mouse mi si bloccava tutto... Alla fine ho notato che in /images/alternatives del cdrom ci sono dei dischetti di boot basati su altre immagini del kernel. Quello del 2.2.14 mi ha consentito di portare avanti l'installazione. Prima di preoccuparmi dell'hardware farei questo check. Ciao, Biagio
Re: [expert] sound and the new kernel
This post will totally betray my ignorance, but i'd rather try to help someone :-) I had similar errors with one installation (of Mandrake) and i don't remember how i solved it. Here are a few things that come to mind. Have you: 1) explicitly made sure that the correct modules are configured before you build install your kernel? 2) typed depmod -a lately? 3) run sndconfig? 4) fiddled with modprobe, insmod and rmmod to try to get your module loaded correctly?

Re: [expert] buggy mouse/keyboard
Well ,the keyboard is a new dell keybaord I got from a dell computer (the server is not Dell.) It was working great there, but I guess I can try it again. The mouse I have tried with one another computer, a laptop. However, the laptop's ps/2 ports are quarky and act wierd, so maybe to bad things combined made it work. Can a bad mouse screw up and cause the problem with the keybaord? Also, unless the PS/2 ports on the motherboard have gone bad , they were working too.

[expert] NFS/NIS problems (Connecting Linux to Solaris)
We have a Solaris server here that I had no problem connecting Mandrake 7.2 to, but version 8 doesn't seem to co-operate. NetConf nolonger lists the option to alter NIS settings, although I have manually edited yp.conf, and all other settings seem correct. I have noticed that rlogin rexec seem to be now handled as daemons, but they wont start (as daemons) even though the commands are installed. I can use rlogin from the commandline, but not login into our solaris server normally which is preventing me running X apps from it. Anyone have any ideas? Nathan Taylor BTW, thanks for those who got back to me about the Nvidia problem, I'll try out your suggestions at home tonight and let you know how it goes.

[expert] Samba and CUPS on 8.0
Well after having many problems installing Mandrake 8 on my server (it would die during/after the network setup with a seg fault (missing memory message)) I finally got it going. This machine serves as my primary file/print server for my house. It includes several windows machines and a couple of other Linux boxes. I wanted to try CUPS out as we are trying to implement it at work and of course you can't run a Windows network without Samba (well, you could. . .). Firs, I had some problems getting Samba to cooperate to start with. I tracked it down to the security section and found that the files /etc/profile.d/tmpdir.* were the cause. Samba some how got its shorts engangled there and insisted on putting its tmp files in /root/tmp: [2001/04/30 16:29:41, 0] smbd/service.c:make_connection(501) Can't change directory to /root/tmp (Permission denied) Well, I kludged it so that it forced the tmp directory to /tmp, but there seems to be something missing as no other services insist on having tmp be /root/tmp. Second, setting up printing, I followed the notation in the sample /etc/smb.conf to use CUPS. I set up CUPS to print to two different printers, an HP Laserjet and Deskjet on two different ports. My windows box recognized the two printers fine. I sent a test print to the Laserjet and it worked great. I sent a test print to the Deskjet and it tried printing it on the Laserjet. Oops. I double checked everything, but I couldn't figure it out. I haven't gone back to check the print command string in the smb.conf file, but this seems pretty strange.

Re: [expert] sound and the new kernel
I gave it some thought and now i remember that sndconfig saved me. If you the kernel is built with support for your soundcard and all the module dependancies are set up correctly, then sndconfig is your next step. (That means we're hoping that your kernel will support it, but try this next step as it's quick and easy.) If you don't have it installed then just install from your installation CD's, or download it from one of the many Mandrake mirrors. I've got 7.2 installed right now and the package sndconfig-0.55-3mdk.i586.rpm is on the extension CD (of the two install CD's). There's an excellent chance that when you run that, your problems will finish. Install and run sndconfig. cheers, j --- Turgut Kalfaoglu [EMAIL PROTECTED] wrote: Oh, many thanks!

[expert] Upgrading the Kernel
Hi, I've never upgraded the kernel like this, so I wanted to run it by this list before I tried... The default kernel in LM8.0 is 2.4.3-10mdk, and I saw 2.4.3-23mdk on the cooker mirrors. So I've downloaded kernel-2.4.3-23mdk.src.rpm, and I think I do this, right: $ rpm --rebuild kernel-2.4.3-23mdk.src.rpm $ rpm -Uvh /path/to/rpms/kernel-2.4.3-23mdk.rpm I guess my first question is, do you think it's ok to upgrade, I think that -10mdk still had a file system corruption bug, so I would think this version would have that fixed, right?

Re: [expert] Upgrading the Kernel
First off, you should never use 'rpm -Uvh' for kernel upgrades. If you do that, it will overwrite your current kernel. Use 'rpm -ivh', as it says to do in the kernel docs, this will install the new kernel along side your old one.

After getting Samba configured and running, I discovered that I'm getting the apparently well-known %%[ LastPage ]%% problem when printing from Windows to a printer on the Linux box. Browsing through several archives, there seem to be two ways to deal with this: 1. Install a newer version of cups (or perhaps just the cups-drivers; it isn't clear whether cups itself needs to be updated from the current version. (The machine came loaded with cups 1.1.4 and cups-drivers 0.3.6.) 2. Remove cups entirely and replace it with LPRng. Does anyone have any advice as to which of these is likely to be least fraught with difficulty? Naively, the former looks good because Mandrake seems to use cups exclusively already. On the other hand, it seems faintly ridiculous to have my Windows machine generate and send PostScript, only to have the Linux box reformat it into the native format for the printer. LPRng apparently allows one to simply send the already-formatted output from the native Windows printer driver straight through to the printer, which seems a rather more elegant way to proceed.

If locate gives you too many files then try find / -name nslookup 2/dev/null |xargs rpm -qf or if you're happy with regex's then filter through the locate output for something that ends in nslookup.

[expert] Is LILO modifying NT FAT partition IDs?
The oddest thing: I delete and reformat a partition as a FAT partition in Disk Administrator. If I logout and log back in, I can still see the drive I just formatted. As I expect I should be able to. If however, I reboot immediately back into Windows NT, Disk Administrator now says that the partition is of type Unknown. It didn't do this with GRUB on LM 7.2 or with NetBSD. It has to be the LILO that came with LM 8.0 that's giving me the problems. Is LILO modifying NT FAT partition Ids? It really shouldn't if it is. NTFS works fine. FAT doesn't. I need FAT because I don't want to go messing around with experimental NTFS writing support (and the kernel compilation that goes with it). Any suggestions anyone? There isn't any LILO homepage out there anywhere is there? At least I couldn't find one. I thought every Un*x project had a homepage... twilit
Re: [expert] keyboard repeat gone...
* Pete Jordan [EMAIL PROTECTED] [010430 14:01]: Some time since last night my keyboard repeat has gone... I'm baffled - I've been running 8.0rc1 since it appeared, and have been up and logged in for 16 days without problems. Symptoms are, well, no auto-repeat. If I change keyboard settings in the Gnome config tool and hit Try, auto-repeat comes back, but after an OK it vanishes again. It may be significant that I run W2K in VMware wherein auto-repeat *does* still work, but that VM has also been up for 16 days. 8.0rc1+Gnome+E on a Celeron 450 with keyboard set to uk102 (it's a proper clicky IBM :) Any ideas? Pete Hi Pete, I'm not sure what's going on. Perhaps VMWare is getting involved.. My understanding of the keyboard repeat rate is that this value is stored in the keyboard itself (strange, eh?) and so further I believe that VMWare must be setting/unsetting this during context switches between itself and Linux. What happens if, as root, you simply run '/sbin/kbdrate -r 30.0 -d 250'. Does this bring back your repeat? Does it stick when using vmware and leaving it again? Usually I lose repeat rate from accidentally unplugging a keyboard, or the equivalent act of changing heads on a KVT switch. Respectfully, Joshua Rodman
