[expert] Voodoo3 (Generic) Help w/config.
I had a nVIDIA TNT2 64 with 32 mb and I was able to run Q3 Tuxracer, most
other game... I had move this card to a Pentium-IV that I am building... ;-)
Now I am using a Voodoo3 (generic) with only 16 mb in vram, but I am not
familiar with the procedure to anable acceleration on a voodoo card.
If anyone of you guys are using one of this video cards, could you share your
XF86Config-4 file, and if you have any other tips to be able to configure the
voodoo-3 on my system, or a url maybe? I want to be able to play Quake3 ;-)
(my favorite game!) TIA

[expert] libXt.a not found when relink oracle forms60
Hello everybody. Here is my problem: I have installed Oracle Developer 6i on my new Mandrake 8 installation. But ld can't find the libXt.a labrary during the relinking job. I found on Suse it is in xdevel.rpm. But on Mandrake where and how can I find the rpm package containing this library? Thank's for the help.
[expert] LM 8 Kernels , VIA chipsets UDMA100
I have a MS K7T Pro2-A motherboard with VIA KT133 chipset (VT82C686B
bridge). Also with IBM DTLA307030 UDMA100 Drive.
Originally I had SUSE 7.0 installed, which ran the disk as a UDMA100
drive with reported (hdparm) transfer rates 35 MB/s.
Since my other systems run Mandrake I installed LM8 on this system,
but find that it won't recognise the drive as UDMA100, and can't be
made to with hdparm either. So it runs as UDMA33 with transfer rates
of 23 MB/s. For the specific application intended for this system,
thats a _significant_ performance hit.
Out of curiosity I installed the v2.2 kernel distributed with LM8
and find that that is fine. So the I conclude the problem is with
the 2.4 kernel or at least the build distributed with LM8.
I've browsed a lot and find lots of stubs (rather than concluded
threads) about DMA100 and off-board controller problems, but I haven't
find anything definitive about the onboard VIA, LM8 and v2.4.
Is this a known problem? got a fix?
I append edited versions of the v2.4 and v2.2 kernel dmesg log
and the output from hdparm -i -Tt /dev/hda under both kernels

When the problem with the 686B Southbridge has a stable workaround in the kernel (We cannot assume that all users will have access or will upgrade their BIOS to extinguish the _massive_corruption_ bug), then we will have a full-speed kernel for you. Until then, kernel-linus and 2.2 work. This bug has been observed in kernel 2.4, Win 95, 98 98SE ME NT and Win2K. It's symptoms are many and varied: Cannot write a full CD-R or CDRW. Resets itself on transfers of 100Mb or more Freezes during disk copy operations. It is a hardware bug in the chipset itself which we had no viable workaround for at production time (We knew of it just days before release. SuSE could not have known of it at all because their release was much earlier.) If you want the best performance from hdparm, you might want to go to /contribs and download drakopt. It works acceptably in most cases and finds right now the highest speed. A version scheduled for release in a few days will find the best speed/noise immunity tradeoff according to user-set standards. Civileme

[expert] passwd verification problem.
Hi,
I'm writing a program where I need to validate a users password.
Right now I'm using crypt and code like the following:
pentry is a pointer to a passwd struct obtained by using the users
userid.
err is in a int initialized to 0;
userpass is a c string containing the users plaintext password.
if ( pentry == NULL ) {
perror(I couldn't get your encrypted password.);
return err;
}
salt[0] = pentry-pw_passwd[0];
salt[1] = pentry-pw_passwd[1];
salt[2] = '\0';
usercrypt = crypt(userpass, salt);
if ((err = strcmp(usercrypt, pentry-pw_passwd)) == 0) {
the strcmp always returns unsuccessful even though I know the passwd I
put in when I try it is correct. Is there something funky I have to do b/c
I'm using shadow passwd's and pam? The pw_passwd shows up in the debugger
as x instead of the encrypted version of the passwd.
I could use another set of eyeballs :)
Thanks.

[expert]Can't configure network using Draknet
Hi All, I am trying to configure an NE200 network card using Draknet. The card is an old ISA jobby and was not rcognised at install time. When I run Draknet it will configure my modem quite happily but when it comes to configuring the network card I select the proper driver but the card id not recognised. Since there appears to be no option to allow one to pass io and irq parameters I am left in nowhere land. I can bring the card up by using Netconf and defining the device as eth0 since in this program one can pass harware parameters. Doing this brings up the interface and gives a selectable device in Draknet however if one configures this interface to allow internet sharing it blocks the modem and assumes that one is connecting to the web via eth0 (which is not the case). There is no problem with the network card I can ping both the local and other machines on my network but it seems I can either have a network card or a modem but not both. At the end of the day all I want to do is configure the machine for internet sharing so that I can dial up with other machines on my lan. I am using Mandrake 8.0 I had no troubles with the combination when I was using 7.2. Can anybody offer any help or explanation. Thanx Colin Close

Hey all, I'm trying to set up an ftp site, very basic and running only when I am here, but it's giving me a lot of grief. Now, I've added user myftpuser and selected that user's group to be ftp, but when I try to ftp in I get an error in my syslog that states that PAM_listfile: Refused user myftpuser I can't for the life of me figure out what's going on with this... I am trying to use proftpd as the server, and it is installed and running because when I try to test it I get the complete opening session to info, and then I enter my username and password, and that is responded to with an incorrect password message.

[expert] LM 8.0 install problem
Hello all, I have a bit of a problem. My company has several high-volume servers running Mandrake Linux, and all have been recently upgraded to 8.0 with no problems. However, on the two Compaq 1850r (Pentium III 550, Intel chipset) I was just sent, 8.0 will not install. 7.2 installs without a hitch, but 8.0 hardlocks on Probing serial ports. Nothing is connected to the external ports, however both machines to have built-in remote consoles. I have done my best to make sure they are disabled. They are up and running fine, so this isn't a big issue, but I would like to be able to upgrade them at some point. Compaq is clueless, and frankly so am I at this point. So any insights would be greatly appreciated. Thanks, Karl Davenport _ Get your FREE download of MSN Explorer at http://explorer.msn.com

[expert] USB Storage problem
Dear all, I tried to install an external floppy driver on a LM7.2 machine and on a Red Hat 7.1. The floppy driver is a USB device. It seems to detect correctly the USB part on both distros, but for some reason when I try to mount /mnt/floppy, the system is unable to assign automatically the right device for the floppy. The mtab/fstab both have fd0 listed as the floppy device. I try to manually mount mount /dev/usb/*** /mnt/floppy with several options for ***, but on all of them the machine responds *** is not a block device Any help with this would be greatly appreciated!

Re: [expert] Known issues with my configuration system
was wondering a question along these same lines. ML8.0 and KDE2 is absolutely beautiful, at least for the length of time I was able to see it. I could use either xfree 3.x or xfree 4.x with no change to the following problem. I too have locking or freezing on 8.0 I have a KA-6100 viachipset motherboard with 128megs RAM, All in Wonder Pro card, Yamaha OPL3 SAx builtin sound, USR int PnP fax/modem 56K, Acer 310U scanner. (Scanner has never worked in Linux). I have always had to use the reboot in order to NOT get a screen dump of some kind (which is what happens with shutdown). I understand this is due to a via chipset issue, but as long as you reboot and shutdown when it comes up ... no problems. This issue was present as far back as 7.0. These new problems are quite baffling. Was previously running 7.0 then 7.2 Freq with no problemsafter the initial issues between the sound card and my fax/modem. My husband fixed those and got them all to work together, both in Win98 and ML7.0 and ML7.2 Freq. He even got it to work the first install with ML8.0, but then the problems started and it will not reboot after an install at all without hanging, no matter how many times you reinstall it seems. But 8.0 install goes great, but when you boot up it will lock up after getting inode errors all over the place, it is like it is eating up the root partition (not sure what technical issue is really going on here). If I am able to get past that, it locks at different stages of KDE2. This is even after the 3rd repartitioning and install. Very frustrating. Have rebuilt all partitions and installed from scratch each time. The drive itself doesn't have problems, I have half of it as windows extended partition and half as linux partitions on the D: drive. The C: drive is all windows. C drive is 1.2Gig and D is 10Gig. It seemed to do quite well with 7.0 and 7.2 Freq If anyone can help, or if you need more information, please let me know.

Some activity? Wow are you lucky. Cable modems are a shared resource. As such you basically share a fat pipe with everyone in a several MILE radius. I frequently use iptraf (set to promiscuous mode) to find out who is hogging the bandwidth. Since it displays the sites (it does DNS resolves for you!) people are going to, you can see what everyone is looking at or sites that they are going to. That said, I'm not a napster user, but boy they did have many people plugging away on it. It's also interesting to note how many misconfigured machines ISP's have hooked up to the headends.

Re: [expert] LM 8 Kernels , VIA chipsets UDMA100

Originally I had SUSE 7.0 installed, which ran the disk as a UDMA100 drive with reported (hdparm) transfer rates 35 MB/s. Since my other systems run Mandrake I installed LM8 on this system, but find that it won't recognise the drive as UDMA100, and can't be made to with hdparm either. So it runs as UDMA33 with transfer rates of 23 MB/s. For the specific application intended for this system, thats a _significant_ performance hit. Out of curiosity I installed the v2.2 kernel distributed with LM8 and find that that is fine. So the I conclude the problem is with the 2.4 kernel or at least the build distributed with LM8. I've browsed a lot and find lots of stubs (rather than concluded threads) about DMA100 and off-board controller problems, but I haven't find anything definitive about the onboard VIA, LM8 and v2.4. Is this a known problem? got a fix? I append edited versions of the v2.4 and v2.2 kernel dmesg log and the output from hdparm -i -Tt /dev/hda under both kernels v2.4: Well, you are (un)lucky to get that performance out of it. We have deliberately set kernel 2.4 to cripple itself when it sees a 686B southbridge. It is supposed to shut down DMA, and it does in most cases. When the problem with the 686B Southbridge has a stable workaround in the kernel (We cannot assume that all users will have access or will upgrade their BIOS to extinguish the _massive_corruption_ bug), then we will have a full-speed kernel for you. Until then, kernel-linus and 2.2 work. This bug has been observed in kernel 2.4, Win 95, 98 98SE ME NT and Win2K. It's symptoms are many and varied: Cannot write a full CD-R or CDRW. Resets itself on transfers of 100Mb or more Freezes during disk copy operations. It is a hardware bug in the chipset itself which we had no viable workaround for at production time (We knew of it just days before release. SuSE could not have known of it at all because their release was much earlier.) If you want the best performance from hdparm, you might want to go to /contribs and download drakopt. It works acceptably in most cases and finds right now the highest speed. A version scheduled for release in a few days will find the best speed/noise immunity tradeoff according to user-set standards. Civileme

Any hints, tips, sugestions would be greatly appreciated. Thanks in advance. Jerry How 'bout opinions? ; I've always prefered the command line for most everything, but burning CD's isn't one of 'em. I've also noticed an increasing reluctance of many of the popular FE's for cdrecord/mkiosfs to run properly on KDE2, Mandrake 8.0. Here's what I've found that's most always succesfull: KOncd, is bullet proof for making 650mb data, audio, duplicate copy, or bootable CD's. I have had some problems getting it to load the files to be burned for 80min audio CD's when their total exceeds 700mb, but yet the time is under 80 mins. Gcombust doesn't have this problem, I've often been able to burn 79+ min audio CD's using wav files that total ~800mb onto 700mb-80min CD-R's. For Mandrake Cd's, I made a copies of my cheapbytes 8.0 CD's for a friend, and pointed out the Mandrake 'donation' page. I used KOnCD and just chose 'Copy'. Original was in my CDrom, copy burned on my CD-RW (Plextor). I believe the copies work better than the cheapbytes originals ; I've also upgraded cdrecord, cdrecord-1.10-1mdk and mkiosfs, mkisofs-1.13-7mdk I used cooker src.rpms and rebuilt them on 8.0 Altho I know CD burning can be done as user, I've always su'd to root in an Xterm to run FE's for cdrecord/mkisofs. BTW, for the 'unbootable garbage', did you verify the md5sum of the ISO file before you tried to burn it? 'man md5sum', and I believe Mandrake has instructions on their website for checking md5sum and burning bootable ISO's. I know they do on the cooker page http://www.linux-mandrake.com/en/cookerdevel.php3 and the CL options are a little different than what you used.
