[expert] getting kdevelop working
Can anyone help? I'm trying to get kdevelop working on madrake 8.0 So far ive hacked the config file so it accepts the new qt libraries. But, even though qt is installed, nothing can access it's header files at compile time, so the config file still falls over. They are in a folder called qt in the standard include dir but aren't being seen by g++. Im using bash, is there any way i can get this dir added to those that g++ normally checks for #includefiles.h in? Ive read the man and pinfo pages on gcc and bash (phew) but cant find a reference to this kind of thing on a permanent basis, I can't find setenv which is how a friend of mine got it working - he's also stumped by this one... any help would be much appreciated cheers si, 8^)) -- ___ Get your free email from http://www.mail.com

Also, I still need to find out why I get those error messages from the net interface(they are very annoying) this is what they look like: eth1: tx interrupt but no status Your adapter interrupted the CPU after sending a packet but could not read the status info from the hardware register. I finally dumped my EEPro10 when I noticed it would fail predictably. I did try to find the problem which I suspected to be a race condition in the driver; but gave up ($15 for the card made it a throwaway) and installed 100MB cards in my machines. I get this over and over again when someone is surfing on the other computers. tried reconfiguring the net cards for different io and irqs, no change. Tried changing eth1 for eth0 and no change, so its not in the cards, has to be in the driver or the kernel. You'd need to run some debugging in the driver to match these messages with packets on the wire. Not for the faint of heart. You might probe the kernel lists for someone who might be interested in solving this issue. I don't mind providing some observations if you find such a person; but I don't have the time to do the debugging myself.

[expert] Trouble with Initializing CDROM
I realize this should probably go on the newbie list, but I'm already on this list. I've been running RedHat and Mandrake for years now, and it wasn't until recently with Mandrake 7.2 that I've run into trouble with the install. I'm using burned copies of the downloadable cd-images. I have attempted using the cdrom.img on a bootdisk, but the problem ends up the same. The install (whether I use the standard, text, or even expert mode) will never error out, but rather hangs up at the same spot each time. It'll create the secondary ramdisk, (reading it off the CD just fine) but when it gets to the Initliazing CDROM... message the install hangs. My guess is it's having truoble mounting the CDrom drive for some reason. I've considered the possibility that the drive may have problems with burnt CD's, and also realize that some older hardware has trouble booting from CD's. The thing is though, that it will boot just fine. It just hangs at that part of the install. Anyone ever experience this before? Thanks for any and all input. -Chris

[expert] Adding new ttf fonts - didn't REALLY work
Last evening I installed some Leonardo DaVinci-style TT fonts from a windows floppy I have using drakfont. It seemed to go OK, in that I could navigate to the /mnt/floppy drive and see the ttfs there. I selected them and installed. When I run drakfont now, I see the leonardo fonts are listed and if I select them, they appear as they should in the preview window. I decided to test them out. I first started kword (latest koffice from cooker) and selected the leonardo font. When I started typing, nothing appeared and the cursor vanished as well. Nothing I did would make them display. I then opened kwrite and tried to select the leonardo fonts there but they were not there to be selected. I reopened drakfont and they are there and display properly in drakfont, as before. What is the deal here? What steps are necessary to make these fonts become properly available to all my various apps?

Thanks all for your replies. But my woes continue :( I tried the following things with no luck : - Did make xconfig, added 4GB support, changed to smp, changed processor to PIII, make and I got a bzImage. I then tried to reboot and it refused to boot. The error I got was somethign like [] loading module name of a scsi module that the machine has 4-5 unresolved symbols insmod: no space left on device Kernel Panic : Unable to mount device 82 or 08:02 So I guess the module for the scsi disk didn't get installed as it said no space left. Why is this happening? I then installed kerenl-enterprise.. but the same result. I can boot the system fine with the default smp and non-smp kernels!

Re: [expert] Adding new ttf fonts - didn't REALLY work
How about forgetting the fancy GUI. Read up on XFS (X Font Server), and install the fonts correctly. I'm sure that DrakeFont is fine, but there are more reliable ways. Also, by taking some time to learn how to do it right, when things break, you'll know how to fix them Usless GUI's is one of the things that drove me away from Wondoze. They have little place in *nix. Ric Praedor Tempus wrote: Last evening I installed some Leonardo DaVinci-style TT fonts from a windows floppy I have using drakfont. It seemed to go OK, in that I could navigate to the /mnt/floppy drive and see the ttfs there. I selected them and installed. When I run drakfont now, I see the leonardo fonts are listed and if I select them, they appear as they should in the preview window. I decided to test them out. I first started kword (latest koffice from cooker) and selected the leonardo font. When I started typing, nothing appeared and the cursor vanished as well. Nothing I did would make them display. I then opened kwrite and tried to select the leonardo fonts there but they were not there to be selected. I reopened drakfont and they are there and display properly in drakfont, as before. What is the deal here? What steps are necessary to make these fonts become properly available to all my various apps?

Re: [expert] Trouble with Initializing CDROM
Chris; I had exactly the same problem. Turned out it was my CD drive. I was burning my images (on a different box) onto CD-RW's. The box I was trying to load wouldn't read them, giving the impression that it could not identify the drive. Try burning the image onto a CDR instead. It worked on mine.

The install (whether I use the standard, text, or even expert mode) will never error out, but rather hangs up at the same spot each time. It'll create the secondary ramdisk, (reading it off the CD just fine) but when it gets to the Initliazing CDROM... message the install hangs. My guess is it's having truoble mounting the CDrom drive for some reason. I've considered the possibility that the drive may have problems with burnt CD's, and also realize that some older hardware has trouble booting from CD's. The thing is though, that it will boot just fine. It just hangs at that part of the install. Anyone ever experience this before? Thanks for any and all input. -Chris

[expert] URGENT!Memory crashes LM 8.0
Dear friends: Using LM 8.0 on my AMD k6-2 400 CPU with KDE 2.1.1. Just had my friend Bill, the computer expert, install my new PNY memory modules. The two new modules (128 meg each) together with the 128 module already on my system (there are three sockets on my Soyo SY-5EMA + Super 7 Mainboard version 2.0 motherboard) add up to 384 megs of real RAM plus a swap file of 256 megs from my original installation. [by the way, PNY memory chips for AMd K6-2 are extremely cheap these days -- around $40 for each 128 meg module]. OK, I had no problem booting into Windows. Everything works fine in Win98. However, I am having problems booting into LM 8.0. First time I managed to boot into the console and then Linux froze in KDE (during the desktop stage of KDE's graphical logging -- that is, I was already in KDE but KDE froze when it reached the desktop part of the KDE launch). Second time, Linux froze during bootup itself with the following error message: Everything OK up to this point. Starting httpd.

Do I need to manually tell Linux somewhere that my real RAM has increased from 128 to 384 megs and does this in any way affect my swap file of 256 megs of RAM?

[expert] Urgent! Memory locks up II -- Can't install
Dear friends: I thought it might wise, instead of fighting this memory problem, to just reinstall LM 8.0, to do a fresh install. Well, that turned out to be dumb decision. Also a mystiftying one. Install started fine (Expert mode), got as afar as partitioning, partitioned my Linux hard drives (as I have done many times before). Last time I had a perfect installation using the Reiser FS (for everything, including the /boot partition). This time, after setting the partitions, I clickded on format as I have done many times before. What usually follows is the formatting of my paritions, then I get the screen with the packages. This time, installation suddenly stopped and switched to the console with an error message informing me that the installation had terminated. This has never happened before. Could this have anything to do with my new PNY memory modules (256 megs of RAM in addition to my previous PNY 128 megs of RAM). One other thing: Turns out I both Windows and Linux recognized my memory upon bootup. No question about it. Everywhere, during bootup, at the Penguin console login in Linux. In Windows, during bootup and under My Computer, Properties, where the actual amount of RAM is indicated. And NO exclamation marks of any sort in Device manager. But Windows would fail to land on the desktop when I'd launch it with the Linux drives on. But when I disabled the Linux channel, then Windows would land properly on the desktop. I could also access the Internet using my Earthlink WinPOEt PPPOE utility. However, when after being cleared for takeoff and fully online, I'd launch Netscape in Windows and Netscape would freeze up. Anyway, I went back to Linux and formatted my Linux partitions in Linux and tried once again to install LM 8.0, selecting, as before, the Reiser FS and a swap file of 400 megs (in addition to my 384 real meg of RAM -- assuming my two new PNY 128 meg memory modules are OK. Failed again. Once again, installation terminates and returns right back to the console. Does anyof this have anything to do with memory modules, good or bad or whatever.

Power off and with the usual static electricity precautions try removing the PNY memory sticks one by one, testing (a test install of 8.0), and restoring. Begin by removing your original memory stick. Since memory was the only thing changed, the problem must be one or more of the sticks, but also check any BIOS settings for RAM by increasing the timings. -- Ron.

Re: [expert] Memory fails in Linux -- memory test?

So, no point in testing memory in Linux. The very best, versions for Winblows or Linux. Of course the Linux version is better ;) http://reality.sgi.com/cbrady_denver/memtest86/ You make a bootable floppy with this app. L2 cache can be toggled on/off or (default) is auto toggled on/off. This is important because there really is no way to test ram independently of the motherboard, cpu and it's caches other than on speciallized expensive machines few shops have. It's also important in that if you set your ram timings too high, or the ram (or motherboard) itself is faulty, your file system (or Windoze registry) is not at risk. If you pass those tests, then the acid test for cpu/cache/ram is http://users.ev1.net/~redelm/ again, both Windoze and Linux versions. If you can't pass these tests, your hardware isn't stable. Again, the Linux version is better ; I wouldn't recommend running cpuburn on any sysem that doesn't have hardware monitoring up and running, 'specially cpu core temp. For your AMD cpu Ben, you need to add 10 to 20C to the reported probe temp (thermistor) to approximate the actual core temp. If it gets too high, abort the program. Good hardware should be able to run cpuburn's tests and keep the core temp under 65°C for AMD (45-55°C probe temp), and 45°C for Intels (measured from the internal diode). Most AMD's are spec'd to fry at 85-90°, Intels at 65-70°. -- Tom Brinkman [EMAIL PROTECTED] Galveston Bay
[expert] Debug Symbols for libstdc++

[expert] Memory lock -- on way to recovery
Dear friends: Well, I have some good news to report: I removed the middle module from my Soyo motherboard. My friend Bill, who originally installed the memory modules, suggested that either one of the PNY modules was defective or the socket might have been corroded (it is after all two and a half years old). I think it may be the socket. After repeated attempts to install LM 8.0 with 384 megs of memory on board (3 memory modules), I removed the middle module and found, to my surprise, that a) Windows was now working fine in every respect and b) that I could no install LM 8.0. Installation of packages is now in progress. My thanks to everyone who was so kind to offer advice and suggestions. I hope this reinstallation solves my problems. I guess Lm 8.0 with 256 megs of RAM (and 512 megs of swap file ram) isn't such a bad deal. Maybe I was being greedy. When I split that in half, I'll stil have 128 for LM8.0 and 128 for Windows/VMware (as raw disk). Of coruse, I won't try the VMware business until I am absolutely certain of how it is done. Thanks so much, folks. Benjamin -- Sher's Russian Web http://www.websher.net Benjamin and Anna Sher [EMAIL PROTECTED]

I left the newest arts mdk rpm's in place so I'd have all the kde gui add on stuff and just did a pretty generic install: ./configure --prefix=/usr make make install so it replaced anything that was in there from the rpm's. logged out of kde and back in and works good so far.

Re: [expert] PNY memory modules -- compatible?
On Thursday 31 May 2001 06:54 pm, Benjamin Sher wrote: Dear friends: Using AMD K6-2 400 CPU, using Soyo SY-5EMA+ Super 7 Mainboard v. 2 Are the following memory modules compatible, please? TigerDirect assured me that they were when I bought them. But are they? Ben, any ol' junk 8ns-CL3 'pc100' ram should be 'compatible' with your cpu/motherboard. sdram is often under rated. I've used ancient 66mhz ram at 112mhz reliably. MOF, it's still going at 112, several years now. The system I'm typin on has one old stick of 8ns-CL2 runnin along with a stick of 7ns-CL2 at 133mhz CL2-3-3, several years. Brand name, model numbers, and PCxxx 'labels' are the least important aspect of sdram sticks. The ns, and cas ratings have more important meaning, but the bottom line is _ram is what it'll do with -0- errors_. Just as, if not more important, as the quality and rating of the ram is the quality, stability, and configuration of the motherboard it's run on. A stick of no-name ram labeled pc100 might run flawlessly at 155+ mhz on one motherboard, but error out on a lesser motherboard at 100mhz. Most of the better boards offer the ability to overvolt the ram, the best ones do this by default. My Soyo 6ba+III sends 3.55v to the ram by default (3.3v is spec). Use lm_sensors, or a Windoze monitoring app to see what your 5ema is supplying. Sometimes there's quirks with multiple sticks on even the best motherboards. Check that your ram timings in bios are proper (safest is 3-3-3, precharge on, ECC off), and then try putting the sticks in different slots, ie, swap 'em around. Try 2 out'a 3 sticks running. Don't be afraid to leave slot1 empty. Try all possible combinations, lot'sa trial'n error. It could be you've got one stick that just doesn't want to work with the others, or with that motherboard. -- Tom Brinkman [EMAIL PROTECTED] Galveston Bay

[newbie] multiple network environment
Hi, I would like to have a ``receipt'' on the best way to define a network environment. I work at 2 different institutes, with each different domain names and different way of setting the IP address. The first uses a fix IP address and hostname, while the second uses a fix hostname, but a DHCP-based IP address. I can't manage the Mandrake Control Center to deal with this, because it always keeps memory of the hostname (which is different for each network). I found that netconf is much better, although DHCP_HOSTNAME and DOMAINNAM in /etc/sysconfig/network is not updated correctly. Could somebody give advices? Thanks, Marc
