[expert] LM 8.0 - KDE, fonts anti-aliasing
Hello, I had a lot of problem recently after importing windows font without doing a strong verification... ok, a stupid mistake here :) Basically I couldn't launch KDE as a normal user with anti-aliasing turned on (was still ok for root with anti-aliasing though). To sort of cure the pbm I went to /usr/X11R6/lib/X11/fonts/drakfont/ and deleted all the fonts then I re-imported all the windows fonts using the strong verification option. I can now launch KDE as a normal user with anti-aliasing but during the KDE startup kwrited crashes all the time. Any idea why it crashes? Also how can I check which windows fonts were causing trouble? Cheers, Fred
[expert] LM 8.0 - Proxy client to access MS Proxy on W2000 Server
Hello, We have this W2000 Server at the office with MS Proxy Server 2.0 on it On our workstations, we have a MS Proxy Client (I can't remember if it's winsock or something.. will check). In LM 8.0, I can access the Proxy Server from Netscape/Mozilla 0.9.1 for HTTP request but I can't get any SMTP or POP3 traffic to go through. It seems I need a Proxy Client in LM 8.0 to do that. Is there such beast in LM 8.0? Also if I was to install a Proxy Server, Squid, on a linux box, would I be able to get the SMTP and POP3 traffic through as well? Cheers, Fred
Re: [expert] LM 8.0 - KDE, fonts anti-aliasing
Use DrakFont to uninstall any font you add. In mandrake 8, DrakFont has a problem with windows fonts. You must use MandrakeUpdate to update it. Then reimport windows fonts with strong verification. Maybe it helps. Salu2, Oscar.

[expert] Graphical printouts - unwanted!
This is odd; here is my setup: We have an HP IIIsi printer on a machine. I have KDE finally set up right so KMAIL would print to it. However, when it prints, the text is printed faintly, the gray background is printed, so it's a mess. Any ideas how to get a decent clean printout?

[expert] Problem IP Address and apache
Hi all, I just installed LM 8 and basically it's great. But there are some problems I could not solve yet even searching in all possible archives and support sites. My environment: ADSL Router (Zyxel) which connects to the wan and, as dhcp server, leases ip addresses to our little lan consisting of two macs and my linux-box. the lan is connected by an ethernet hub. problem: When booting the linux box, it says no ip-address found, starting httpd fails (beginning with mod_perl, then all other apache-thinghs, and the ftp-deamon as well). Trying to start the apache manually after booting fails. facts: the two macs have no problems to get their ip-addresses from the dhcp-server/ router. silly: i can access websites with the browser with no problem, which means that my machine knows the ip's of the name servers of my isp, and this information comes from the router/dhcp-server as well. anyone a good idea? cheers peter

Re: [expert] cvs and X forwarding
Hi, My guess is that you are not starting ssh with the -X flag. This X11 forwarding. Possible other problems, the DISPLAY environment variable is not correctly set (although it should be in an xterm). If this is the case, assuming that you only have one X11 server running on one monitor, try export DISPLAY=:0.

Re: [expert] Poor OpenGL performance in LM 8.0
Don't know what causing tuxracer to not report FPS correctly, but I think know what the problem with the Radeon is. The XF86 version that comes with LM8 does not support DRI (Direct Rendering Infrastructure) on the radeon. You will have to obtain a new version of XF86 either from the DRI project (dri.sourceforge.net) or I believe that XF86-4.1.0 includes radeon DRI support. One gotcha is that you need agp support enabled in the kernel (either through compile in, or module load) before the radeon driver is loaded by XF86, or it won't work. Otherwise the installation instructions on the DRI homepage worked fine for me. Hope this helps.

[expert] 3com 3c90x
Hello, this seems to have been subject to quite a lot of messages lately, and yes, i've read a bunch of them. And while they've all been helpful in many ways, my actual problem remains still. My mandrake 8.0 has 3Com Fast Etherlink XL PCI 10/100 adapter, and is connected through DHCP. And the problem is, that the drivers for the adapter don't seem to work. Upon booting, the following is displayed (may be little inaccurate, since the screen sort of flashes by): Bringing up interface eth0 3c90x.0.gz has parameter switchdelay max min [FAILED] The driver's readme identifies the switchdelay option as disabled by default. I tried to set it manually in modules.conf as options 3c90x switchdelay=1 and received a slightly different error (boot time) saying unknown parameter 'M' for switchdelay insmod failed The problem can't reside in the connection itself, 'cos setting the connection manually with linuxconf doesn't work while connecting a w2k using dhcp works. I've also tried to reinstall the driver with rpm, and to recompile it from the source codes but both result in a screenful of various error messages from gcc / kgcc. If anybody could give me any hints on how i could fix this problem, i'd be really grateful (it's takem me three weeks by now, and i'm on the verge of switching back w or going back to store to get another adapter..).

[expert] Problem upgrading (and relatedl problems) to Mandrake 8.0
hi, I'm currently using Mandrake 7.0, and trying to upgrade my kernel to 2.4.5 A quick (but not that elegant) fix might be to just simply install Mandrake 8.0, and choose upgrade, but that would entail having to deal with the installation of a host of packages all over again - most of which i do not need. My current problem now can be summed up in two words - RPM problem, and mkinitrd Source Tarball problem. mkinitrd is one of the packages to be upgraded, as mentioned in Documentation/Changes. I did download an rpm for that, but my present version of RPM 3.0.3 (which came with Mandrake 7.0) just refuses to work, complaining about 'only working with major version numbers = 3'. (Renaming the rpm does not work btw) I tried upgrading rpm using the rpm-4.0-26mdk.i586.rpm given in the Mandrake 8.0 CD, but even that, rpm complains about, once again giving me the 'version number problem' So i am forced to have to search for the source tarball for mkinitrd in order to avoid all this rpm trouble. Problem is, i've searched just about everywhere, but can't find it. Does anybody know of a solution for me? Any help would be greatly appreciated.

Re: [expert] LM 8.0 - KDE, fonts anti-aliasing
This is how I do it...force of habit: Open a konsole or xterm, go to superuser, run drakfont. From that point, it is pretty self-explanatory with the nice GUI. You will select the fonts you want, if not all of them. You can go with normal or strong verification - the strong verification is safer/better but I have done normal too.

Ron, Found this thread in the archives, thought you might be able to help me. Main question: If md5sum /dev/cdrom doesn't work, can I recreate the iso file (in Linux or Windows (Easy CD Creator)) and get a reliable MD5 checksum? Aside: When I run md5sum /dev/cdrom the cdrom spins for a little while (2 minutes?) and then I get Input/output error -- any hints? Background: I bought some game CDs and the game fails during one phase of play. The manufacturer is about to say that my CDs must be bad (no scratches, no fingerprints, have had the game for 1 1/2 years with the same problem in two different machines). I want to send him the md5 checksums and have him tell me whether they are right or wrong (before I consider paying $10 each for replacement disks). (Along with information on how to generate an md5 checksum.) Thanks for any help you can offer. PS: Shortly I will probably run some experiments -- burn a CD from an ISO, recreate the ISO from the CD, then compare the checksums, so maybe in a few hours (or days) I'll know the answer.

[expert] more ati radeon ve dual display edition problems.
I everyone, I posted some more info a few days ago, but didn't hear from anyone so I thought I woud ask again. Does anyone know how to get an ati radeon ve dual display edition video card working? When I tried configuring it using XFree86 4.0.3, X would crash on startup. I upgraded to 4.1.0 and it still does not work. X will not crash on startup anymore though. In fact, there are no error messages in the /var/log/XFree86.0.log file. What happens now is when X starts, nothing appears on screen. It appears that no signal is being sent to the monitor at all which promptly goes into sleep mode. How do I get X to display on my monitor? Any help would be appreciated! Thanks David

[expert] OpenOffice and StarOffice freeze system
I was looking to edit a spreadsheet in StarOffice, so I downloaded it and proceeded to run the .bin file (after chmod +x of course). It brought up the KDE window for the first next to click, but everything was frozen. Mouse wouldn't move. Ctrl-Alt-Delete and Ctrl-Alt-Bksp did nothing. I couldn't even get my KVM switch to let me use another computer so I could see if this one would respond to pings. (KVM switch controlled by buttons on its front and Scroll Lock on keyboard - neither worked.) Installed the OpenOffice 6.0.5 rpm from the Mandrake 8 CD. No problems. CD'd to the /usr/lib/open... directory and then ran ./setup as per the RPM's instructions. Same full lockup, but this time the window was a couple of inches down and left from the desktop's corner.

Well, i actually did get 3c90x to load.
By entering the following into /etc/modules.conf

(the second line seems odd considering the drivers readme, which states:

[expert] two problems. one with kcontrol one with shared memory usage
Hi folks, I have just installed LM8.0 on my PC. It can be really slow (P 200 48mb ram) compared to newer PCs but I was really expecting better performance from LM8.0. I am using KDE as a desktop manager. when i use top i see that nearly all of the ram is used. At first I thought it is in fact sharing the memory but using top also says 0Kb for shared memory usage. I think it is quite strange. related with this when i open a application lets say konsole and close it, the next time i open it i expect it loads faster but in fact it is not. It waits just as the first opening maybe more. This is quite related with shared memory usage i think. What are ur comments, I know KDE things are resource eaters but as i said i amexpecting more from it in terms of performance. This is the first problem, the second one happened after i changed font settings in KDE control application. I installed tahoma windows font and set it to all font places where i see helvetica in Kcontrol. It worked. But maybe related maybe not after that i cannot run KDE control application from panel. It gives SIGSEGV signal , but from terminal it works ok.. strange.. I searched some logs (i think it was .xsessionerrors log); there were lines related with kcontrol saying DCOP communication error.

And while they've all been helpful in many ways, my actual problem remains still. My mandrake 8.0 has 3Com Fast Etherlink XL PCI 10/100 adapter, and is connected through DHCP. And the problem is, that the drivers for the adapter don't seem to work. Upon booting, the following is displayed (may be little inaccurate, since the screen sort of flashes by): Bringing up interface eth0 3c90x.0.gz has parameter switchdelay max min [FAILED] The driver's readme identifies the switchdelay option as disabled by default. I tried to set it manually in modules.conf as options 3c90x switchdelay=1 and received a slightly different error (boot time) saying unknown parameter 'M' for switchdelay insmod failed The problem can't reside in the connection itself, 'cos setting the connection manually with linuxconf doesn't work while connecting a w2k using dhcp works. I've also tried to reinstall the driver with rpm, and to recompile it from the source codes but both result in a screenful of various error messages from gcc / kgcc. If anybody could give me any hints on how i could fix this problem, i'd be really grateful (it's takem me three weeks by now, and i'm on the verge of switching back w or going back to store to get another adapter..). Thanks. Juha Tel. +35850/3256683 Email. [EMAIL PROTECTED] http://www.iki.fi/~jomustaj/ I have three of those cards, identical in model number and decignation 3C905C types. All three run like champs under 8.0 with fixed IPs One will run with dchp but not with dhcpcd, only with dhcp-client. The others seem to be allergic to dhcp. 3C905Bs have no troubles whatsoever.

[newbie] X 4.x freezes on Neomagic
Has anyone else experienced spontanteous freezes under XFree86 4.x with an Neomagic chipset? I've tried out almost all 4.x releases. The last one was 4.1.0. At first I thought it was a KDE problem because I'm still able to move the mouse pointer but WindowMaker produced the same result, it only took somewhat longer than usual. 3.3.6 works ok though... I have a ThinkPad 570, Neomagic 256AV, 1024x768x16bpp, 192MB RAM, 20GB HD. Grateful for any advice, Nico
Re: [expert] cdrecord error [was: CDRW Drive Addition Addition]
On my computer this error appears after a dummy write (maybe the problem was fixating cdrom in this mode). Try rebooting your computer and burning a cd without testing dummy write first.

[expert] strange problem with Bind.... on Mdk 7.2
Hi everyone,,, I am having a little problem with Bind, which is now set up for our domain names and is seconded by our isp's dns,, I was sucessful with the main domain deligation, and got confiring results with a whois... BUT!! for many of the subdomains that I created, it works correctly and we get the correct IP from any connection... but for the domain and subdomains that existed before we did this, they are still coming up with their old IP address. I was under the impression that if a domain name was deligated to a dns server, then all subbdomains will be quiered from that dns server as well,, but that doesn't appear to be the case since if you log into the dns server directly, it is giving the correct new IP address (not from /etc/hosts either), but it isn't updating the other dns's around with the new info... for only two of the subdomains, the rest work fine... (the two that don't work, were in existance before we setup this server, they were using other ISP's DNS servers, and I am wondering if thats the reason they are not resolving correctly.. I am alittle lost here, this seemed simple to set up, and for the most part it was, but the things that got me, where this problem and the zone serial number, which is supposed to be newer then any others, so I have it set as: 200106114 Have I done that correctly?? any help would be seriously appreciated as I am spending way to much time talking to the isp help desk only to discover that they seem to know less then I do... kindest regards Frank Registered Linux user: 218317
