[expert-it] MandrakeUpdate che non parte
Salve, ho appena installato la mandrake 8.0 in italiano. Volevo chiedere se' e' un problema diffuso il fatto che non si riesca a fare partire il MandrakeUpdate. Se avete qualche consiglio da darmi lo accetto ben volentieri ;) Ciao -- =--Ghiro--
Re: Re: [expert] can't run 'make xconfig'
I have installed: tcl-8.3.2-7mdk.i586.rpm tclx-8.3.2-7mdk.i586.rpm tcllib-8.3.2-7mdk.i586.rpm tk-8.3.2-7mdk.i586.rpm what do I install? You probably do not have Tcl/Tk installed correctly on your system. You may want to try reinstalling the Tcl/Tk packages from the RPM's, and see what that does. HTH.

[expert] Re: CE: 810 chipset and sound
Dear Terence
Thanks again for your continued attention.
Well, well, well, you're never gonna believe this!
We got sound working on most of the Mandrake Linux boxes with this
chipset and audio controller. How did we do it? Bryan Howard editted
/etc/rc.d/init.d/sound
and
/etc/rc.d/init.d/usb
He removed all references to conf.modules and replaced them with
modules.conf
We rebooted and voila, sound!
Please, oh please, oh please make a note of this, post it in your
archives or something, for the next poor sucker who has the 810 chipset
AC '97 controller on a Mandrake Linux box.
Yours
Marsden

[expert] Occasional Login Problem using KDM
I just installed Mandrake 8.0 on my intel810 machine and things are going well except for a strange problem that I am facing once in a while. Sometimes after using KDE for sometime the machine seems to freeze and I have to kill the X Server using the Ctrl-Alt-Backspace sequence. The next time KDM respawns and comes up I cannot log in. I am forced to go to console mode log in as root and then do a init 5. I can then log in from the KDM GUI. This is the first time in over 1 1/2 years of using linux that I am seeing such a problem. Anybody else facing this? Any ideas on what may be causing this. Any tips would be great. I should add that: 1) I have an Intel810 board. 2) Using Mandrake 8.0 install Only change from the default that I have made is that I have added the line amixer set 'Headphone' 100 unmute to the /etc/rc.d/rc.local file as the default settings are causing one of the headphone channels to become muted. I guess this should not matter as far as login through KDM is concerned. Thanks in advance. Arnab

I'll have a look at echo $DISPLAY when I get back home.

Hi, I can't quite remember what the rpms are called, but the LM cds have ispell dictionaries for UK english, as well as a there being a UK english locale included in the en qt locale. Once these are installed, you should be able to go to Personalis(z)ation-Country Language in the KDE Control Centre(er) and select UK English as your Language.

I'm using kwrite 2.0 and CUPS in Mabdrake 8.0. My prointer is correctly set up (I can test print), but can't get kwrite to print. There are no printers shown in the drop down list and the printer command is lpr -P%p -#%c. Isn't it different for CUPS? How should I configure kwrite to print? Hoyt
RE: [expert] what is the package file for libXv.so.1?---Needin' it for Xine
Pere, I've just had the same problem. I tried installing the library but that didn't work. Reading the archives for the xine mailing list there appears to be a problem using the xine rpm on some systems. You'll need to download the source code and compile it yourself. The FAQ gives instructions for this.

[expert] how can I tell when computer shutoff due to power failure?
I have 2 MDK8.0 PC's that were shutoff when I came in yesterday morning. I never turn them off and suspect that a power failure was responsible. Is there anyway to tell what time they were shutoff? Thanks, Brian
[expert] Open port on firewall
Hi, I installed a new server on my lM7.2. I'm running firewall and IPchains coming with the original package. The service is started but in the linuxconf the port don't shows up, but I have to open the port in order to access the service from the internet. I have heimdall firewall running. The config file for heimdall is always automatically generated - if I uderstand well - from linuxconf. So HOW can I open a specific port ex 8088 in linuxconf? BR, Istvan

If something happens pretty regularly that is logged, then the log should stop being updated once the power goes off (one would hope ;-) do 'ls -altr /var/log' and see when the dates jump. Also, look through /var/log/messages (from the end) and see if anything jumps out. Finally, you might try 'last' and see if that tells you what you want. rc Rusty E.

Hi all, I just added an IDE drive (Maxtor 33073H3) to my LM7.1 system. The existing drive is a SCSI drive, and IDE0 has a CD-ROM and a ZIP drive. I added the new drive as the master on IDE1, and kudzu detected the drive.

[expert] Networking Expert needed!
Hello, I've got a problem with one of my ISPs that I'm 95% sure is on their end, but I want to get some opinions of the experts here, and know what exactly to tell them. Scenerio: Mandrake 7.1 Box with two ethernet cards, one on ISP #1 (DSL), another one on ISP #2 (T1). Default route is set to go out to the T1. Situation: When I ping the DSL IP address of my box, the reply gets sent back thru the T1. It works everywhere BUT within ISP #1's system. In other words, if I try to access my box's DSL ip address from another DSL line, it fails. When looking at my box, I can see the packet coming in, and the reply going out to the T1, but that reply packet never gets back to the other DSL line. It's like the DSL provider is filtering the return packet, because it isn't coming from the address it was initially sending to. This holds true for all services - http, mail, etc. The DSL line has NO firewalling or NAT on it, so they say. The kicker is that everything works fine on everyone else's network, just not the DSL's system! Also FWIW, if I make the DSL line the default route, all is fine, including within the DSL network. Is there a way for return packets to be handled differently? How can I explain this to my DSL ISP so that they won't dismiss the problem as a Weird configuration on the user end? Bob P.S. the IP address in question is: 64.65.206.24
Re: [expert] Networking Expert needed!

Re:Re: [expert] Networking Expert needed!
Hi Bob! The problem doesn`t seems to be your ISP... and not your fault too... but the way packets are routed... if you put a route like you said: route add -net 64.65.0.0 netmask 255.255.0.0 gw 64.65.206.1 eth1 everithing belonging to the range 64.65.0.0/16 works ok... the problem is that you have another DSL connection, in another place but from the same DSL ISP, right? That other connection doen`t belong to the 64.65.0.0/16 range... what happens from your side... you try to access taht other box, your linux reads the ip address and says...this isn`t 64.65.0.0/16, so it goes trough the T1 isp... and that`s the way things are... at least ip routes :-) As you said, if you don`t find the networks bellonging to your DSL ISP, every packet different from 64.65.0.0/16 will go trough the T1 line... If you want, send your addresses, and what you want route and maybe we can find some way to do this... orlando you set T1 ISP as your default and your replys from ping to the DSL ISP comes from the T1? like that: ping DSP-ISP reply (coming from T1-ISP) xxx ms ???

HI Pierre, Thanks for the reply.

[expert] WEBDB install on LM7.2 more help needed...
Hi, Finally I found the way how I should install it. The installation starts ok again as usual. I have set the environment variables TNS_ADMIN to point to the tnsnames.ora. from the env: TNS_ADMIN=/home/oracle/OraHome8.1.6/network/admin/tnsnames.ora But when the install goes on it asks for the sys passwd and the TNS names alias.. I don't know which but it's not accepted. The passwd ia correct because I just tested it. So the sys passwd should be ok. But What should be the TNS name? This is my tnsnames.ora where the TNS_ADMIN points: # TNSNAMES.ORA Configuration File:/home/oracle/OraHome8.1.6/network/admin/tnsnames.ora # Generated by Oracle configuration tools.

Randy Kramer wrote: 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? If you are using Mandrake 7.2, be careful that when your IDE CD is in use nothing else is happening on the same IDE channel as the CDROM. Seems to be fixed in 8.0. If you have a second CDROM reader, or access to another PC, try again in that. Make sure that the bottom polycarbonate surface is clean and undamaged. Make sure that the top label surface has not been damaged in any way (this is where the recording actually is, just under the label and very vulnerable). Background: I bought some game CDs Linux games? 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.) Yes, do that! But there should be no charge to replace defective CDROMs within the warranty period. 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. This works here. You don't have to recreate the iso file from the CD, you can md5sum directly from /dev/cdrom (unmounted). -- Ron.

Can you fill in the other IP addresses (including netmasks)...?
Scenerio:

(T1). Default route is set to go out to the T1.
Situation: When I ping the DSL IP address of my box, the reply gets sent back thru
the T1. It works everywhere BUT within ISP #1's system.
So... from say 64.65.210.162, ping 64.65.206.24 is seen by LM7.1 and reply

Also FWIW, if I make the DSL line the default route, all is fine, including within

Is there a way for return packets to be handled differently?
I'll repeat a statement I made in previous posts: EACH direction is treated
independently. When a packet is originated (request OR reply), it will follow
the best LEGAL path as understood by the intervening routers.
How can I explain this to my DSL ISP so that they won't dismiss the problem as a
Weird configuration on the user end?
Without specific addresses, I can only suspect you are experiencing the rule
which states: a packet from netX cannot be routed through netY and back to
netX [EXCEPT if the final destination is netZ]*
* the exception is not written up anywhere that I know of; but I did discover it
circa 1989.
This means that a packet going from S to D where:
S in D in routable via netX
-
netA netA NO (classless(?) host routing excepted)
netA netC yes
This will take quite some explaining for those not intimately familiar with
routing; but this leads me to the possibility that your LM7.1 box and ISP#1 have
conflicting netmasks. Without specific IP addresses and netmasks at each
interface involved, it is really complicated to come up with a matching scenario
to explain the problem.
Bob
P.S. the IP address in question is: 64.65.206.24

Re: [expert] Networking Expert needed!
I can only suspect you are experiencing the rule which states: a packet from netX cannot be routed through netY and back to netX [EXCEPT if the final destination is netZ]* One more thought. If a http request is made from netX to a machine on netX, and the machine generates reply packets sent thru netY to netX, aren't we talking about two entirely different packets? Or are reply packets somehow tied to their request packet, sort of like what IP MASQing does? Bob

[expert] How Mandrake Install detect partitions???
I'm trying to move my HD where LM8 is installed from /dev/hdb to /dev/hdc and my CD-ROM from /dev/hdb to /dev/hdd without succes, until now... I only managed to move my CD-ROM from /dev/hdb to /dev/hdd, doing this: I removed the CD-ROM from master at IDE interface 2 (IDE1) and installed it as slave ate IDE1 and started the LM8 install CD, chose Upgrade, added some small package (just to be sure that some change had to be written) and proceded the install until the end. When I restarted the computer Linux recognized that the CD-ROM was the /dev/hdd device (in windows it works ok too). I thought that since /dev/hdc was free now, I could use the same approach to move my HD from /dev/hdb (slave at IDE0) to /dev/hdc (master at IDE1). When I start the install, chose Upgrade, language, keyboard, mouse ok, but when the system starts to look for my drives there is an error message (Ooops, no root partition) and ir repeats itself if I try to look for my drives again. If I start a NEW INSTALL, the drive is found and the partitions are found (/, SWAP and /home) and recognized as using ReiserFS. So that's my doubt: how the LM8 install detects the root partition? If it is found when the HD is in it's current location (/dev/hdb) why it's isn't found when I move the drive to the new position (/dev/hdc)??? It's driving me nuts!
[expert] Program Failure: Tracing the failure
Hey Guys, I'm attempting to determine why I can't access RPMdrake. I have updated to the newest RPMDrake and it worked great for 3 or 4 hours. Now I'm not sure what I installed during those 4 hours which would cause it not to work, but it just won't work. Now I figured that it might be an issue w/ a configuration script, therefore I tried to initialize the program through a text window (Gives a much better failure readout IMO). Unfortunately all it's telling me is that it had a segmentation fault, and then it dumps the core. Does anyone know of a way to determine where it errored, so I can fix the error? I would REALLY like to use this program again, so I kinda need to figure this out. Thanks, Nelson Bartley [EMAIL PROTECTED]

Re: Fwd: Re: [expert] Mandrake Control Center 0.61 won't let me enter info in printer condiguration
This is a known problem of the Control Center. To manage your CUPS printing queues use kups. It is much more sophisticated than printerdrake (the Control Center module). You can also set the printer options, configure your CUPS daemon and more.
