[expert] Configuring VMware for raw disk?
Dear friends: I've been trying to configure VMware for my Windows 98 /mnt/windows partition. I have an AMD K6-2 400, 128 meg of RAM. Installation of the VMware rpm went off perfectly. I am speaking of the interactive installation procedure (I think it's called the file vmware-config.pl). I have a dual-boot LM 8.0/Win98 SE system. Linux is on hda and hdb and Windows is on hdc, with the CD-Rom is on hdd. I read the instructions on VMware's support page, changed the permissions on the hda, hdb, hdc and hdd and then configured hdc as a raw disk. The great thing about the latest VMware 2.04 for dual-boot systems is that you do NOT have to actually install Windows in a virtual disk. You can just invoke the ACTUAL, REAL Windows on your /mnt/windows partition directly from within VMware. I know that to be true. I have done it. I just don't know how to do it right, and I would rather not proceed until I am sure of what I am doing. The instructions say clearly to UNmount /mnt/windows BEFORE configuring VMware. First obvious question: Do you RUN Vmware with hdc as raw disk with /mnt/windows MOUNTED OR UNMOUNTED? That is, do you have to UNmount /mnt/windows every time you run VMware in this case or do you run Vmware with /mnt/windows mounted? I am afraid to proceed any further. I tried and experimented with various configurations, but I think it's time for me to quit experimenting. I am just an ordinary user and I'd rather not jeopardize my LM 8.0 installation. I'd appreciate it if someone who has a how-to or step-by-step instructions in plain English for my specific situation could direct me a web site where I could find out how to configure Vmware properly, not only the /mnt/windows on a dual-boot system but all the other details that are a part of it.

Re: [expert] USB startup question
Neal, This drove me insane for awhile and then I finally nailed it. I would type service usb status and get not running, yet it was starting the service at boot. what I had to do was create a file in /etc/sysconfig called usb. The contents of the file are as follows: USB=yes MOUSE=no KEYBOARD=no STORAGE=no VISOR=yes notice no quotes around yes and no. Also since I am using the stock mandrake kernel, I needed to have some stuff in /etc/modules.conf: alias usb-interface usb-uhci post-install usb-uhci modprobe visor Hope this helps you out Jerry On Thursday 24 May 2001 21:11, Neal Lippman wrote: I am trying to sort out some USB-related stuff, specifically related to the modules for syncing my Visor. I have all that stuff working, but it is a pain to have to load the modules after each boot so I can sync. I notice that in /etc/init.d there is a script called usb that starts up usb devices and should load all the visor modules as well. It seems to look for a subscript called /etc/sysconfig/usb, and after attempting to execute that script, it uses a number of shell variables (eg $VISOR) to decide what to do. Unfortunately, I don't have the /etc/sysconfig/usb script - probably because when I installed MDK 7.2 I didn't have any usb devices. In anycase, does anyone know if my understanding of this is correct? if so, it seems that all I would need to do is to create /etc/sysconfig/usb and put into it: $USB=yes $VISOR=yes and the modules will get loaded at boot time.

Re: [expert] network printing from SCO Unix to local printer on Mandrake
This would be better asked on one of the comp.unix.sco.* newsgroups but here is the answer anyway :) If you are using the scoadmin GUI, realize that it can only scan for other SCO boxes with printers (and I believe that it even says that some where on the menu or documentation). I have successfully configured a SCO v5.0.5 to print to a RH v6.2 box but you will have to (if I remember correctly) just fill in the settings in scoadmin-printers and not run the scan; scoadmin will just assume the settings are correct and try and use them. I believe that one the Linux box will have to add an entry for the SCO box in /etc/lphosts (or something like that).

You can run it mounted but mount it read-only (ro) if you do. Do NOT mount
the partition rw and run VMWare at the same time.

BACK UP YOUR REGISTRY. (Both the user.dat and the system.dat) Otherwise, you
may find yourself reinstalling Windows so you can run it on the actual PC again.
The idea is that you are going to take advantage of Window's ability to do
hardware profiling. When I tried it (as per instructions), I destroyed my
registry and the system performed poorly on both VMWare and the actual PC.
The idea is that you create a PC profile (a hardware config that will run on the
real PC hardware) and a VMWare profile (a hardware config that matches the
VMWare virtual hardware.) Creating the PS profile and making a profile that
will become the VMWare profile is easy, but when you boot Windows and tell it to
use the VMWare profile (booting in VMWare of courrse) it begins the hardware
detection and starts adding the drivers necessary to run on VMWare. This is
fine except that when Windows adds the drivers, it adds them to both profiles.
So as you are building your VMWare profile you corrupt your original PC profile.
You square away your VMWare profile once you get it done and reboot the real PC
back into Windows and choose the PC profile (note: if you can get the profiles
working correctly Windows will supposedly smartly pick the profile that matches
the hardware it sees at boot.) It's then you notice your PC profile drivers
have both the real drivers and the VMWare drivers. So you go into the PC
profile and remove the VMWare drivers being careful to choose Remove driver
from this profile only and get your PC profile all cleaned up. Once you have
your PC profile all working again, you go back to trying it in VMWare and
discover that some of the drivers in the VMWare profile are missing and now it
has some of the PC drivers. So you start the cleaning process from the VMWare
profile perspective...
while (1) {lather; rinse; repeat;} /* infinite loop */
After about the third attempt, Windows begins to fail to boot altogether due
to registry corruption. At this point, you restore the registry backup you
made before this mess got started and make another new partition on which to
install Windows inside of VMWare and run with Windows dual installed.
The short of it is that any driver added always gets added to all profiles and
any driver removed will affect all profiles enough whether or not you choose
Remove from this profile only such that when booting that profile the
hardware detection begins again causing all sorts of fun, ad infinitum.
Just my experience,
Woody

Long, long ago *G* when I was still running Windows occiasionally, I also had my clock set to UTC. Now, since Windows sucks and isn't able to deal with a clock set to UTC, I've installed a SNTP client in Windows, which ran right at bootup. This caused the clock to be set to the wrong time (ie. local time), but at least Windows was fine. In Linux I also had this SNTP script running, so really everything was fine. Nope. Not if the BIOS clock is running on local time. (At least, it Dunno, I've got my BIOS clock on UTC for quite some time now and will not change it.

Re: [expert] getting time right
Got it working! But it sure doesn't seem very logical. 1. Set BIOS clock to UTC. 2. Set /etc/localtime to link to the correct timezone. 3. Set UTC=false (yes, false!) in /etc/sysconfig/clock Now date and date -u both work, as does the regular clock on the desktop. Even though I received several private e-mails suggesting that some people have managed to configure the time correctly with a BIOS clock set to local time, nothing I tried made that work successfully.

Re: [expert] Tuxracer with NVidia drivers on Mandrake 7.2?
Hi did you install Nvidia's drivers as rpm or from a tar file? (just for curiousity, if you installed it from rpm try 'rpm -qf /usr/lib/libGLcore.so.1'). it doesn't really matter, if that's the only thing missing then just install it with the 'nodeps' option: 'rpm -ivh --nodeps rpm file'. although this is usually not recomended, if you know you have the file that rpm complains about then you can use this option.

Re: [expert] Upgrading from 7.2 to 8.0 over network?
Find you a site close by and download the network.img file and direct copy it to a floppy. dd if=network.img of=/dev/fd0 (or is it /mnt/floppy?) make sure you have the exact address to the ftp site/Mandrake directory written down for reference cause it don't hunt for you.

[expert] Problems with my page...
Thanks to all of you who have taken time to contribute your comments and help to my little FAQ project. I hope to get some more work done on it this weekend, and hopefully double the current number of FAQ's. I had some problems over the past 24 hours, and as much as I would like to say that it was due to some horrific DSL provider, it was mainly due to a not-too-bright administrator type who wasn't paying a lot of attention to what he was answering yes to! I'm not naming names, but let's just say maybe that guy shouldn't be starting and maintaining a plastic flower garden, much less a FAQ. Anyway, it's back up and going. The address SSP MODE=ON again is http://www.mtsprouts.net/craig/expertfaq.php, or if you have something to add yourself, go here: http://www.mtsprouts.net/craig/addfaq.php. Thanks again for your patience, help and contributions. --Craig

Re: [expert] getting time right
Hopefully someone reading will have some additionaly insight as to why time is slightly warped in our systems. One of my Mandrake 8.0 machines suddendly put itself on UTC and I was not able to restore it to running the hwclock on localtime. Much later: By copying from the good machine I was able to restore the hwclock to operation on local time, so necessary for Windows operation. The /etc/localtime file had been clobbered by a localtime directory which was a copy of the entire contents of: /usr/share/zoneinfo/ Deleting the localtime directory and restoring a /etc/localtime file from the contents of: usr/share/zoneinfo/Australia/Melbourne and setting /etc/sysconfig/clock to: ARC=false UTC=false ZONE=Australia/Melbourne solved the problem. The desktop panel, date, date u, xdaliclock and kworldwatch all now show correct values, as does the system after an ntpdate adjustment. = BTW, the file names mentioned in man hwclock are completely erroneous, and there is no man for ntpdate (see /usr/share/doc/ntp/ntpdate.htm). = -- Ron.
