[expert] LM 8.0 - MandrakeFreq
Hi, I just downloaded the ISOs for MandrakeFreq last night (just a bit cheesed off to have to download 1.3Gb of data to do an upgrade!!!) This is the first time I will use the MandrakeFreq disks and apparently the MandrakeFreq release is in fact a full LM 8.0.x release not fully tested. My current system is a LM 8.0 + all updates/security fixes from Software Manager. To upgrade my system, do I just need to use the upgrade option instead of the install? Now how many things will be broken on my system after the upgrade is another story :( Can't we just use the Software Manager to upgrade or is it a bad idea? I believe that the MandrakeFreq should be a collection of upgrades (even beta or alpha quality, you're free to take it or not) available on a CD or online that we can access thru Software Manager instead of a monster download. My 2 pence. Cheers, Fred

Install Freq or use the manual fix. To find where root is moved quickly, use the bootloader --say the installer for 8.0 says it is going to /dev/hdg5 Use the bootloader to make linux boots linuxa with root at /dev/hda5, linuxb with root at /dev/hdb5, and so on. Cover all possibilities. Then try each boot. On all but one you will get kernel panic, unable to mount root fs. The one where you don't tells you where / is, but it will still fail because /etc/fstab is out of sync. Then you can boot with the rescue disk, do the expert-level mounting of /dev/hdg5 and changing root there, then mounting /usr to get your editors and editing /etc/fstab, links(if necessary) and lilo.conf to delete all the inappropriate boots, run /sbin/lilo, then you should be in business on the next non-rescue boot.
[expert] PLEASE HELP! Bad bridge mapping
Hi, Please, please, help me! I posted this at several places and I still have no answer. I would like to know if the problem I encounter can be fixed: I upgraded the system memory from 192 MB to 512 MB. The system clearly detected the upgrade and linux booted. However, at the cardmgr step, cardmgr complains not finding an entry in /proc/devices for pcmcia (which is correct). I checked with /var/log/syslog and apparently the problem appears before, because of a bridge mapping problem. in syslog: kernel: Linux PCMCIA Card Services 3.1.25 kernel: kernel build: 2.4.3-20mdk #1 Sun Apr 15 23:03:10 CEST 2001 kernel: options: [pci] [cardbus] [apm] kernel: Intel PCIC probe: PCI: Found IRQ 11 for device 00:03.0 kernel: PCI: The same IRQ used for device 00:03.1 kernel: PCI: The same IRQ used for device 00:07.2 kernel: kernel: Bad bridge mapping at 0x17ff! kernel: not found kernel: ds: no socket drivers loaded This problem occurs with 256+64,256+128,256+256, but not 192 or 256 MB.

[expert] Mandrake 8.0: KDM Crashes Intermittently

I now find that KDM crashes on me once in a while and I can log in if I restart it by: a) Going to console mode b) Logging in as root c) Doing a init 5 d) Logging in from the KDM greeting screen. I am using a default Mandrake 8 installation on a Celeron machine with 128 M of RAM. I should add that apart from this inconvenience Mandrake 8 looks good! Any others with similar problems using KDM in Mandrake 8.0? Any solutions? Bugfixes? Thanks, Arnab I
[expert] Harddisk Installation from multiple ISO images?
Hi! I'm not sure if this should work at all, but I guess it would be a useful feature: I downloaded both ISO images of MandrakeFreq #2 to my harddisk and tried to do a harddisk installation from these images. Unfortunately the installer only allows me to enter the path to ONE ISO image file, and DrakX appears to see only this single file, even though the extension image is in the same directory. This means that the install dies at the point where I would insert the second CD if I did a CD-ROM install. Is there a way to tell the installer that it should use both images? If I have the files already on the disk, burning them on CDs seems such a waste... Thanks in advance for any information, Martin

Re: [expert] crond
R When tasks are running from my crontab It send to my mail next R message /bin/bash: root: command not found, but these tasks R started successfully. I explained to him in a private message that I thought the per-user crontab format didn't include the user field, which would make sense if the shell is trying to pick up on the user name and attempting to run it as a command. If so, this is most typical because cron sets up a very limited environment for the program, e.g., a very basic path, while you usually has a lot of extra settings in the environment. True. env -i HOME=$home LOGNAME=$logname PATH=$path SHELL=$shell /usr/bin/sh -x $* Or in bash, 'export ' :) Anyway, I think intermixing korn shell and bash (or whatever Solaris's 'sh' is, probably Bourne-derived) complicates things unnecessarily. But your point is valid - cron does run in a more limited environment and the script it runs should specify needed environment parameters, rather than rely on what likely won't be there. One note: I originally wrote if for Sun Solaris. I could not find anywhere in the linux man pages where it is stated what setting PATH AFAIK, it's just another process (at least true of 'cron') so it, like any other process, it has a completely independent environment. Such things like PATH can be set explicitly and will be true of only the current process. Peter David E.

[expert] What's the connection between less .bashrc...?
Hi,
Before I go digging into the sources, does anyone know the logic behind less
being impacted by the contents of .bashrc...?
If I add 'echo foobar' to my .bashrc, any attempt to less file gives only
foobar as output instead of the expected contents of file.
The env. vars are:
$ for e in ${!LESS*}; do echo $e ${!e};done
LESS -MM
LESSKEY /etc/.less #doesn't exist
LESSOPEN |/usr/bin/lesspipe.sh %s #nothing weird here
I've strace'd it and see this line:
pipe([5, 6])= 0
(the numbers are not always 5 6) which is probably from the LESSOPEN pipe...
I don't see less opening .bashrc or invoking it; but less somehow gets output
from .bashrc... What I can't determine yet is whether this output is from
.bashrc executing anew when less is run (most likely -- see below), or from a
stale buffer somewhere... I just can't imagine a scenario where less needs to
either access .bashrc or get data from a non-user-specified pipe... could this
be a potential security hole...?
The problem is even more confusing if I add some code to .bashrc; it gets
executed when I invoke less, instead of displaying the requested file... this
would seem to indicate .bashrc is executed when less is invoked...
This happens on both my LM7.2 machines; but not on the 8.0 one, though the
latter has the same env. vars and the same pipe in strace output... but, the
default .bashrc is different...
Puzzling.

That seems to depend on which version of Mandrake she's running. At
least when I tried it, openssh-v2.9p1 didn't seem to work properly on
my Mandrake 6.1 systems, though it works fine on my 7.1 systems.
The quick and dirty solution at the time was to go back to
openssh-2.5.2p2 on the Mandrake 6.1 boxes.
Julia, it would be a good idea to mention what version of Mandrake
you're using when you post a problem like this.

Joergen,
Install the ipchains rpm package and then read the documentation for
it. There's also an ipchains HOWTO.
It doesn't seem to be too obvious to some how to configure ipchains to
start up correctly at boot time, so here are some pointers.
I'm running Mandrake 7.1 and I've got ipchains-1.3.9-6mdk installed.
The init script (/etc/rc.d/init.d/ipchains) included in that package
expects you to store your ipchains configuration in
/etc/sysconfig/ipchains. To do this, use /sbin/ipchains to build a
rule list and then use:
# ipchains-save /etc/sysconfig/ipchains
to write it out to a file.
Make sure that you've configured ipchains to start up for the right
run levels (same as network) using chkconfig. The init script
provided is already configured to start ipchains at the proper time,
which is *before* enabling your network interfaces.
HTH,

MMDV... unfortunately, this kills the useful stuff within lesspipe.sh, like
automatic handling of different file types.
More digging... the problem is the way 'less' pipes filename to $LESSOPEN
when the latter starts with | (doh! :^)...
Tried a lot of different things; hopefully I got the results straight...
export LESSOPEN=| /bin/sh --norc /usr/bin/lesspipe.sh %s
^^
starts a shell which for some reason ignores --norc whether specified here or
on the #!/bin/sh line within lesspipe.sh...
Without the pipe symbol, less invokes $SHELL -c $LESSOPEN which makes it
impossible to use --norc here.
export SHELL=/bin/csh
Changing the shell avoids .bashrc; but lesspipe.sh still invokes /bin/sh. To
change this to '#!/bin/csh' requires rewriting lesspipe.sh... Adding --norc to
the shebang line does nothing. Not sure if .cshrc would have the same
problem...
export LESSOPEN=| /bin/cat %s
This still invokes .bashrc...
export LESSOPEN=/bin/sh --norc /usr/bin/lesspipe.sh %s
export LESSOPEN=|/bin/sh /usr/bin/lesspipe.sh %s
export LESSOPEN=|/bin/sh --norc /usr/bin/lesspipe.sh %s
These kinda work; but on q[uit], less foo.html gives:
foo.html: line 1: syntax error near unexpected token `html'
foo.html: line 1: `html'
starts a shell which for some reason will not accept --norc either on the
#!/bin/sh line, or within LESSOPEN...
export LESSOPEN=/bin/sh /usr/bin/lesspipe.sh %s
This variation also kinda works; but gives:
bin/sh: Command not found.
The bottom line is that anything in .bashrc will execute because running less
results in implicitly doing a source .bashrc, not to mention that anything
.bashrc sends to STDOUT is injected into the pipe... On the whole, this seems
poorly thought out... though my C skills are quite rusty from lack of use and
old age... :}
However, creating lesspipe.py and using:
export LESSOPEN=| /usr/bin/lesspipe.py %s
avoids the shell timebombs... here's a Python version (based on LM7.2; 8.0's
lesspipe.sh is much different):
---
#!/usr/bin/env python

Thanks in advance for any information, Martin Ummm, how about making a toplevel directory like /somename and unpacking the iso's into it--the one little tweak you need is to move the RPMS2/ files to RPMS/, then the HD install should work very well indeed.

Re: [expert] PLEASE HELP! Bad bridge mapping
On Friday 22 June 2001 07:31, Marc Audard wrote: Hi, Please, please, help me! I posted this at several places and I still have no answer. I would like to know if the problem I encounter can be fixed: I upgraded the system memory from 192 MB to 512 MB. The system clearly detected the upgrade and linux booted. However, at the cardmgr step, cardmgr complains not finding an entry in /proc/devices for pcmcia (which is correct). I checked with /var/log/syslog and apparently the problem appears before, because of a bridge mapping problem. Hmmm this is untrodden territory as far as our knowledge database goes. bad bridge mapping sounds like a BIOS assumption, but just for laughs, try the enterprise kernel. If that works, then I have a bug report to file.

[expert] 486-100MHz HP Netserver, will it work under linux?
Sorry for the off-topic post, but I was hopping to make the machine act as proxy for my 512Kbps connection, and was wondering if it was a good idea or not?. The HP computer has two SCSI drives, and I am not sure but I think that he said that it has two processors (The guy is asking for $130 for the machine including the monitor... is this a good price?). thanks

Re: [expert] LM 8.0 - MandrakeFreq
The section Updates of the mirros have this function MandrakeFreq have another, if you want test package use cooker packages =) Regards On Fri, 22 Jun 2001 07:55:05 +0100, Frederic Soulier said: Hi, I just downloaded the ISOs for MandrakeFreq last night (just a bit cheesed off to have to download 1.3Gb of data to do an upgrade!!!) This is the first time I will use the MandrakeFreq disks and apparently the MandrakeFreq release is in fact a full LM 8.0.x release not fully tested. My current system is a LM 8.0 + all updates/security fixes from Software Manager. To upgrade my system, do I just need to use the upgrade option instead of the install? Now how many things will be broken on my system after the upgrade is another story :( Can't we just use the Software Manager to upgrade or is it a bad idea? I believe that the MandrakeFreq should be a collection of upgrades (even beta or alpha quality, you're free to take it or not) available on a CD or online that we can access thru Software Manager instead of a monster download. My 2 pence. Cheers, Fred -- Kheb Linux Counter Number 198159 http://counter.li.org _ Do You Yahoo!? Get your free @yahoo.com address at http://mail.yahoo.com
