[expert] ssh setup help needed
Are there any ssh gurus out there? I'm trying to set up a new server on MDK 8.0, and ssh(d) is giving me fits. Could someone that understands this beast drop me a note, and lend me a quick hand getting it running? I've been staring at the man pages until I'm going blind, and I can't get it to work. I quess I need a "step by step". Much appreciated! Ric

Not for the previous posts. These following are, and without using -n, the delay

[expert] Hotplug cd support in Mandrake 8
Hi, I've got a notebook with a hotplugable ATAPI cdrom drive running Mandrake 8 with kernel 2.4.3. It works fine if it's attached at boot up.But it is not automatically detected if hotplugged later. Has anybody got any advice on how to get the hotplug capability to work? I've found http://linux-hotplug.sourceforge.net which sounds like it would do the job.

Give us a new "route" and "route -n" output and indicate precisely where the
former's the delay occurs. What is st21s? It's unknown from here and from your
message headers, you are on a dialup. The link is up when you are issuing the

Where did you get those scripts? None of mine have the metric arg on the route
commands... so if you look closer, you'll probably find you have other route
commands in these files without "metric" which would explain the duplicate
routes. Send me a copy of these scripts; I'm curious...

[expert] ide-floppy - Zip Drive error
Can someone please tell what this means and what I have set incorrectly? L-M 8.0, as did other release since 7.0, sets up my Zip Drive as an ide-floppy. I don't use it often but now when I try to access, either from KDE GUI or a command line my system freezes, sometimes for a long time, sometimes it forces a reset button restart. The error message repeats many, many times ide-floppy: hdb I/O error pc = 28, key = 5, asc = 2, ascq = 0 I looks, to me, that Linux(?) has lost the IRQ for the Zip drive and it freezes while it is searching for the Zip Drive? -- David Boles [EMAIL PROTECTED] My GnuPG Key ID: 78A3ADB0

TIA If the router has already been configured to some other address and you don't have it, then you'll have to depress the reset switch for about 3-4 seconds minimum. This will reset EVERYTHING: passwords, routing, filters, forwarded ports, etc. Once you know the router's address, you must access it from one of the four lan ports (not the wan port) using a browser from an address in the 192.168.1.x space if you reset it, or within the configured subnet. [Speculation: I've never used the DMZ host feature, so I'm not sure if that host address is restricted from accessing the router; if so, you may need to try from a different address if the DMZ feature is on.] HTH, Pierre
[expert] Gnome-Bonobo and virus
Dear folks, I would like to have information about probable problems of macro-virus due to the Bonobo architecture. For some authors Bonobo is based in the comunication models of Windows, but with the basic structure of CORBA. Nowadays, Bonobo allows any aplication look into the data of anyother aplication and use it as a tool. Technologically it seems it is posible create gnome-virus and the sandbox model is relatively easy to be jumped (this is an affirmation put on in a Spanish magazine -Solo Linux, number 12-). I use mainly KDE, but I am also interested in know others windows manager, gnome is the other main candidate, but now, with the 1.4 version in MDK 8, that uses Bonobo, I am wondering if it could be a good idea use it. What do you think?, if the philosophy is based in Visual Basic, the possibility of macro-virus is true, isn't it? I hope we can have a good discussion about this subject.

TIA If your local subnet isn't 192.168.1, you need to temporarily set a windows computer to operate on the 192.168.1 subnet, access the router html interface, change the router subnet to your current subnet, logout, reset the machine you used to access the router to the proper subnet and everything should work fine.

[expert] Linksys Router
Hi, all. I'm having a problem configuring my Linksys router for Linux. The manual says you're supposed to be able to access the router at 192.168.1.1, but I can't get at it from there. Whenever I route my computer through the router, it just kills my internet connection (Comcast cable). Anyone have any suggestions? TIA

I find it goofy when changes in permissions take effect. You might have to start a fresh konsole/xterm or logout before it works.

Re: [expert] NVidia drivers crashing with OpenGL
OK, the drivers were NVDIDIA_GLX-1.0-1251.tar.gz and NVIDIA_kernel-1.0-1251.tar.gz
I discovered a host of people suffering the same sort of probs, some think it may be
to do with only the non mesa stuff, ie that could be why the gears prog still ran (at
least once!).
Also found someone who reckons it could be worth investigating the permissions on
/dev/nvidia0 as apparently this doesnt tend to happen if you are root at the time (how
they found out i cant imagine, great way to shaft the box , playing games as root!!)
any thoughts ??

RE: [expert] Urgent! Memory locks up II -- Can't install
Windows doesn't even know the difference (which is to be expected since windows is programmed to leave memory unused while linux tries to make use of most of it in some way at all times, unused memory considered as WASTED) If it isn't your memory modules or the connectors on the motherboard where they are installed, I'll eat my hat. Civileme --- Ok, you MIGHT have to eat it... All three of his 128meg modules work when only two are used in any memory slot on the motherboard. Sound familiar? Yeap that refresh/decode pairing for similar strips... Had he inserted 128M+128M+256M (in any order) instead of 128M+128M+128M Linux would have probably not had a problem... -JMS

I suppose what you need is: - Select Define fonts button (or Define sources, my program is in spanish and says "definir fuentes"=o) - Select New - In font type (or source type "tipo de fuente") select Security Updates (Actualizaciones de seguridad). - And now you are able to update the list of mirrors and select the best one. On the other hand, you can start the program "MandrakeUpdate" from a xterm. It will start rpmdrake (or similar:) in update mode. Otherwise, you need select "Only updates" in rpmdrake. Salu2! Oscar
[expert] Memory secrets revealed!
Dear Jose and friends: [Using LM 8.0 on AMD K6-2 400 Mhz CPU) Now that explains it! If that there is one thing I cannot deal with it's uncertainty. So, out of sheer curiosity, I overcame my dread of fooling with the memory modules and decided to investigage. My Soyo motherboard has three sockets, just as indicate, with each socket capable of holding up to 256 Meg. Thus three and only three modules are possible in different combinations of meg sizes. All three PNY modules are absolutely identical: PNY 128MB PC100 SDRAM 16 x 64 168 Pin DIMM. I bean with one 128 meg PNY module when I bought the system. I now bought two new PNY modules. Right Socket: the old PNY 128 meg module -- works perfectly. Middle Socket: New PNY 128 meg module -- fails. Left Socket: New PNY 128 meg module -- works perfectly. Total: 256 meg. Originally, I inserted both new PNY modules into the two remaining sockets (Left and Middle). System froze in both Linux and Windows. I tried to reinstall Linux with 384 meg of memory. Linux froze during formatting every time and terminated installation. Finally, I removed the middle PNY module, and this time Linux 8.0 installed flawlessly and has been operating flawlessly ever since. But, being greedy, I decided to insert the third PNY module back into the Middle Socket. Linux balked and froze again. I quickly removed the module from the Middle Socket, and Linux returned to its old, flawless self (LM 8.0 with Reiserfs for all partition except the 512 meg swap partition). I knew from this that either my Middle Socket was defective or my second PNY module was defective or both. Today, eager to put an end to the suspense, I opened my Linux box (with only two modules working (Left and Right Sockets) for a total of 256 meg and removed the working module from the Left Socket and inserted it into the Middle Socket to see whether it was the Socket or the module that was defective. With the Left Socket empty, I still had only 256 meg. Guess what? Linux (and Windows) worked perfectly with the Middle and Right Socket engaged! And has been working perfectly all night without a single hitch or error message. I concluded from this, apparently wrongly, that since the Middle Socket was working perfectly, that the second PNY module was defective. However, from Jose's report, I see what went wrong. Here, again, is his explanation (and, I might add, he knows my motherboard in detail since it was he who selected it for me): "On certain types of motherboards certain types of RAM must be installed in "pairs"... On later motherboards (such as yours) this condition is not quite so absolute but still exists in a form... I.E. 128+128 is ok, but 384 is not I'll bet that you could replace one of the 128meg modules with a 256 meg module and still have no problems... I.E 128+128+256 And that, I'll bet is what this is all about! I'll bet my second PNY 128 meg module is perfectly fine, and that I was able to double my memory from 128 to 256 but that the next step must be doubling it again to 512 or not at all. Well, I finally learned how to insert and remove a memory module correctly. That was worth the cost. Don't know if I really need 512 megs of RAM? Maybe for VMware? Will think about it. At any rate, I think the mystery has at last been solved. Simple math. Benjamin -- Sher's Russian Web http://www.websher.net Benjamin and Anna Sher [EMAIL PROTECTED]
