[expert] php displays as text files
I installed the apache and php rpms for LM8, but php scripts display as text files. At the very end of my httpd.conf file, I added the following line and restarted httpd, but it didn't help: << AddType application/x-httpd-php .php .php3 >> Anyone know what I should do? -- Stephen
Re: [expert] Error running Bastille
hi again, Just a quick note - from the sounds of things you didn't "uninstall" the rpm. The best way to do so is with rpm, that way your rpm database is up to date. To do so, read the man page and then see if this makes sense: rpm -e Note that you're using the package name, not the filename of the package. Thus soemthing like "rpm -e bastille-linux" would probably do the trick. Anyway, glad you got it working, congratulations :-) Always feels good to solve a problem in linux-world, doesn't it?

The process I usually go through to compile a kernel looks like this: 1) cd /usr/src (as root) 2) rm -rf linux 3) tar zxvf (linux-2.x.x.tar.gz (where x is the kernel minor version and number (e.g., 2-10). 4) mv linux linux-2.x.x 5) ln -s linux-2.x.x linux (to make a symlink named "linux" to your linux source directory) 6) make xconfig 7) make dep 8) make bzImage 9) make modules 10) make modules install 11) cp arch/i386/boot/bzImage /boot/vmlinuz-2.x.x 12) cp System.map /boot/map 13) edit /etc/lilo.conf so that your kernel points to these places. 14) run /sbin/lilo <- Don't forget this or you won't be able to boot!!! 15) Reboot and pray to the Holy God of Silicon. Basically, the part I think you were messing up is after you ran make dep you should've run "make bzImage" rather than just "make". There are other ways to make a boot image (make bzlilo is another option, I think) but I use "make bzImage" because it makes the smallest image. Anyway, that's what I do. YMMV. Hope that helps.

[expert] Kernel Compiling
Hi, I'm trying to compile the 2.4.3-27mdk kernel source and am running into all sorts of problems I'm doing: - make xconfig - make dep - make - make modules < -- here is the problem First, since I'm using the matching version kernel-source-2.4.3-27mdk.rpm, if I just do make xconfig, is that loaded with all the defaults of the rpm of the kernel I running? Second, supposing I have the kernel configured the way I want it to be, and after I've just done 'make', when I type 'make modules' I get all kinds of compile errors (starting with the compiler telling me that integer literals are containing letters, but aren't hexidecimal constants) Anyway, all I really want to do is patch the emu10k1 source code and recompile the module... I tried just doing the 'make xconfig' then 'make dep' then go into the drivers/sound/emu10k1 and type 'make', but it doesn't even try to use 'kgcc' to compile, instead it uses 'cc' which seems to cause even more trouble... What am I doing wrong? Thanks, -- Davy

Re: [expert] Error running Bastille
So you'd like to know where it's hanging, right? EIther the pop server is hanging, or your machine is. Here's a few things you can try off the top: 1) Get rid of the firewall briefly with these commands: ipchains -F ipchains -X ipchains -P input ACCEPT ipchains -P output ACCEPT This will flush and delete your firewall "chains" and will set the policy for input & output to ACCEPT. Now your box is not refusing any connections due to your firewall. Test your fetchmail and see if it works now. If so, then you need to tweak your firewall. Don't forget to put your firewall back up (probably with something like "service firewall start" or some such thing. 2) Do you have another pop account? You could get one with Yahoo, set it up for pop access, and test it with that account. This might help you know if it's the server or not. 3) You could run "strace fetchmail" or "strace " and see if you can get anything from that (as to where it's hanging). 4) You could run tcpdump and see if that gives you anything. I recommend ethereal as an amazing graphical packet analyzer, you could try that. 5) You could check your logs for DENYed packets (due to firewall). Check /var/log/messages and /var/log/syslog. 6) Something someone else says :-) good luck j --- Laura Conrad <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> wrote: > > "Laura" == Laura Conrad (me) <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> writes: > > Laura> When I run "InteractiveBastille -x" on my Mandrake 8.0 > Laura> system, I get this error message: > > Laura> About to run through config file... > Laura> Fatal: First boot sector is version 20.0.

Re: [expert] afriad to lose LILO
Make a boot disk (floppy) with mkbootdisk, then boot from floppy. Then, assuming all the info in /etc/lilo.conf still applies to your new 98 system, run lilo and kaboom, all will be (should be) as it was. If you ever lock yourself out of your system, you can boot with the install cd, hit f1 as soon as you can, go with "rescue" and then it will create virtual linux filesystems. In this situation, if are comfortable making a new entry in /etc/fstab (on the virtual filesystem), and you make a mount point in /mnt, then you can mount the partition that has /etc/lilo.conf on your REAL system, and then run "lilo -C /mnt/mountpoint/.../etc/lilo.conf". If the rescue system doesn't have lilo on it (i have no idea) then you can mount the partitoin that has /sbin/lilo, and run that: /mnt/mountpoint/.../sbin/lilo -C /mnt/mountpoint/.../etc/lilo.conf But there will be no need for that if you just make a bootdisk.

I guess this is a question for the maintainers of the kernel. I have noticed that the install program identifies my DPT V Raid controller, but, it can not load a module that works with it. My questions are as follows 1.) Are you using the new updated adaptec dpt drivers ala 'deanna bonds' of adaptec? or Are you using the origional source code released from DPT with modifications so that it works with the new kernel/compilers? 2.) Is there a special trick to get the LM8.0 kernel to work with the DPT V smart Raid controller? 3) How reliable is it? Has anyone done any real world testing on it? best regards Dalton

I cannot get this sound card working. It worked well with windows and suse, but now, I'm using mandrake and I cannot make it work. I found IRQ conflicts (soundcard-vga, soundcard-eth1, soundcard-usb), etc, etc. So, disabling usb I manage to not have conflicts. But now, it doesn't work anyway. The sound is a c-media cm8738 When I configure it with sndconfig everything seems to be working, I hear to the sound sample, but when I try to play an mp3 for example, it sundely stops in the middle of the music (using xmms), it inserts noise when playing a CD and arts core dumps. playing mp3 with the alsa player seems to work, but I'm not configuring it with alsa (as far as I know). Some one told me that this could be a dma problem, and told me some other things to include in the kernel, some things to change, but, maybe there're other that I should change. I've been having this problem with the original mandrake 8.0 kernel, (2.4.3) and with the kernels I've compiled (2.4.5). Thank you. -- Pupeno: [EMAIL PROTECTED] http://www.pupeno.com.ar

But on the other hand, ide-cd is of no use if ide-scsi emulation is loaded.

In Kmail on the tool bar, 'Message' - 'Set Encoding', try setting it to 'Western European iso8859-1'. Similar in Konqueror. I had the symptoms you describe sometime ago, and IIRC, setting encoding to 8859-1 everyplace it appears in configuration (eg, Control Center, Kmail, Konqueror, various other apps) solved the problem. -- Tom Brinkman [EMAIL PROTECTED] Galveston Bay

[expert] Junky fonts...
I'm having a very frustrating experience with Konqueror and Kmail. I've ready all about prettification of X fonts, and have xfs running so as to provide nice scalable fonts at all sizes. For the most part, this is a fantastic set of tools to work with the internet. I've brought windows ttf fonts over from my windows machine, and they work, in general, perfectly. However, once in a while, I'll get one of two problems: 1) a web page or an email where the fonts are set to something that's unreadable. Not just non-pretty, but downright unreadable. It's as if a 5 point times font were scaled up to whatever is needed. In KMail, turning off the 'prefer html' for the folder has no effect. In Konqueror, if I click the enlarge button 10 times or so, The font turns into a clunky Times knock off (and the page is *very* large overall, of course). 2) On some web pages (like http://www.lokigames.com) a font that looks like "lucida blackletter (b*h)" gets displayed...which again makes the text non-readable. (In this case, I'm suspicious that 'Lucida' is in the CSS, and the font matching algorithm Konqueror is using finds the first 'Lucida' font.) Any clues how to solve this? -- Ken Corey, CTOAtomic Interactive, Ltd. [EMAIL PROTECTED]
Re: [expert] Most Popular Linux Broswers
I've been using Konqueror lately, since I heard so many good things about it, mostly that it's a lot faster that Nestcape - I must say that I honestly don't notice any difference at all in speed, and have some serious graphical issues as well. I'm running a 500 MHz processor, with 256MB RAM on the mobo, 32 MB video ram, with new, fast HD's, so I doubt that the system is causing any lag. Identical pages load at the same rate in Konqueror as in Netscape, sometimes slower. And, some pages are oddly skewed in Konqueror so that text which is centered in Netscape (or IE for Winders) is way off on the right in Konqueror, running off the right side of the screen - and there's no scroll bar at the bottom to let me scroll over to read the rest of the text. Yesterday, I was on a secure site, and it bombed out during a page change because Konq was not fully compliant. I fired up Netscape and had no problems. Don't get me wrong, Konq has great potential, but it is not yet mature.

[expert] Playing MIDI, /dev/sequencer problem
Hi, I am using Mandrake 7.2 (Power pack edition). I now wish to play MIDI files. My sound card works, for example I can listen to CD's. When I load kmid I get a message [david@esther ~]$ kmid KMid 2.0 Copyright (C) 1997,98,99,2000 Antonio Larrosa Jimenez. Malaga (Spain) KMid comes with ABSOLUTELY NO WARRANTY; for details view file COPYING This is free software, and you are welcome to redistribute it under certain conditions ERROR: Couldn't open /dev/sequencer to get some information Yet /dev/sequencer exists In kimid when I load a midi file and press play I get "Couldn't open /dev/sequqncer Probably where is another program using it." If I use fuser - v /dev/sequencer it gives no output so I assume that nothing is using it but that there is a configuration problem. I have also tried using playmidi and I get this: [david@esther ~]$ playmidi dl/music/openreyeslord.mid Playmidi 2.4 Copyright (C) 1994-1997 Nathan I.

Parece que logrotate trata de "reciclar" el log de sudo y éste no existe. Prueba una de estas tres cosas: - Desinstala sudo si no lo usas. - Busca la referencia a /var/log/sudo.log en los archivos dentro de /etc/logrotate.d/ y elimina esta referencia. - Añade la línea "/bin/touch /var/log/sudo.log al final del archivo /etc/rc.d/rc.local Es una chapucilla (crea el archivo /var/log/sudo.log para que logrotate no lo eche de menos), pero creo que funcionará. Salu2, Óscar. --- The problem: > errors occured while rotating /var/log/sudo.log > stat of /var/log/sudo.log failed: No such file or directory Maybe logrotate try to "recycle" /var/log/sudo.log and this file don't exist... My suggestion: - Uninstall sudo or use it. or - Delete the entry /var/log/sudo.log in /etc/logrotate.d/* or - Add "/bin/touch /var/log/sudo.log to the end of /etc/rc.d/rc.local to create the file that logrotate looks for.

[expert] LM 8.0 - KDE, Fonts & Anti-aliasing pbm
Hi, A very odd thing happened yesterday. I had a perfectly working KDE desktop (with anti-aliasing and fonts imported from windows) for both root and users. I then decided to update some packages (using cooker) to get "xcdroast" working as mentionned at: http://forum.mandrakesoft.com/article.php?sid=941&lang=en&mode=thread&order=0&thold=0 I went to a cooker web site and downloaded: mandrake_desk-8.0-10mdk mkisofs-1.13-7mdk.i586.rpm cdrecord-1.10-1mdk.i586.rpm cdrecord-cdda2wav-1.10-1mdk.i586.rpm and installed them manually doing: rpm -Uvh [package file name] I could not find: xcdroast-0.98-8mdk.i586.rpm and decided to do it later. Then I cannot remember exactly why but I logged out of KDE and logged back in again and the disaster struck... KDesktop, khotkeys, kicker, kwrited, klipper, kwin crashed (signal 11) I tried several times but no luck. I tried to launch KDE as root and no problem. After investigation, I found out that if I set the anti-aliasing flag to false in /home/myuser/.kde/share/config/kdeglobals then I can launch KDE again as myuser (note: the flag is still on for root and it works fine... go figure). I then created a new user and as soon as the anti-aliasing flag was turned on I could not launch KDE anymore... (1) What can trigger such nasty behaviour? Could that be the upgrade to mandrake_desk-8.0-10mdk from cooker? (2) For the time being I am running all my users with the anti-aliasing flag set to false, but if I go to the KDE Control Center/LooknFeel/ Fonts where I have: fixed widthLucida Console 8 iso8859-1 and I try to change the fixed width fond by clicking on choose then I can kiss my KDE session goodbye, it seems like xfs gets killed by doing that... because once back to the console, ps -ax | grep xfs does not show any xfs running and I have to do: service xfs start then going back to KDE works. (3) Can the imported fonts from Windows cause that? note: launching other WMs like Gnome, Enlightenment, etc.. works fine. Cheers, Fred
[expert] Upgrade to 8.0 with LVM 0.9.1beta7 and Reiserfs fails
Hi, My current system contains Mandrake 7.2. My root partition contains the ext2 filesystem and the other partitions are in one logical volume and formatted with reiserfs. Upgrading to 8.0 fails because the upgrade procedure is on LVM 0.9.1beta2. LVM 0.9.1 beta2 has a bug relating recognizing logical volumes. Now I want to patch the Mandrake upgrade disk so that it uses LVM 0.9.1beta7 and the related userland tools (vgscan etc.) but I don't know how to do that. Can somebody explain this to me or point me to some documentation ? Thanks, Diederick
[expert] Something nasty supermounting the woodshed
Hi All, I have a standard dual-boot Mandrake 8.0 install supermount used to work but alas no longer. I have searched a years archives and RTFM but cannot solve the problem. Here is the situation. When it didn't work I did lsmod and found supermount wasn't loaded. I checked /etc/modules, no sign of supermount. I added it with no options (I don't know whether there are any). I enabled supermount with supermount -i enable and rebooted. On reboot supermount still did not work. I did an lsmod and found that the supermount module was loaded. I checked /etc/fstab the supermount entries were still there so the script /etc/rc.d/init.d/mandrake_everytime must have found supermount or so I thought. As a check I removed supermount from /etc/modules (I left supermount enabled. i.e. the entries for supermount were still in /etc/fstab) and rebooted. After the reboot I checked /etc/fstab the supermount entries were still there!! The script in mandrake_everytime is supposed to remove them. This would indicate that either mandrake_everytime is not being run or is failing in some way. Since it is called from init.d this seems unlikely as the machine boots fine. Just as a check I ran supermount -i disable and the supermount entries were removed from /etc/fstab. I am able to mount a cdrom with the normal mount /dev/cdrom command and read directories etc,etc so there does not seem to be a hardware problem. Can anyone give me a pointer of what to look for next
