Re: [expert] KErnel 2.4.7
I have some curios things, while im compiling Kernel 2.4.7 too. I was glad to see that there was a built in module for my new networkcard (rtl), but after i'm made 'make mrproper' this option disappers. it wasn't available whether in menuconfig nor xconfig. xconfig shows always some strange behaviour, espacially when i try to save/load a special config. maybe its cause i have the old source-tree in /usr/src, i dont know. for my soundcards i always use alsa, it dont needs any kernelmodules built in.

Re: [expert] xcdroast woes
I delved a little deeper into the problem. I tried the latest xcdroast rpm off of cooker (xcdroast-0.98-9mdk.i586.rpm). This failed. I went to xcdroast's home page and flipped through the changelogs. I noticed in a few different places that the scanbus parser code had been modified. Seeing that the latest version is 0.98alpha9, I checked what was cooker's version and it came out to 0.98alpha6. I tried installing the latest version (packaged for RedHat 7.1) downloaded from xcdroast's site and it worked. (I had to ignore decencies to do so.) This gives me the impression that the problem that I have had all along is a parser problem that was fixed a couple of rev's ago. I would recommend that the cooker teem dump xcdroast 0.98alpha6 and go with at least 0.98alpha7 before releasing mdk 8.1 unless there is some problem that I am unaware of. > For added info when I run `cdrecord -scanbus` this is what I get: > > [root@tick RPMS]# cdrecord -scanbus > Cdrecord 1.10 (i586-mandrake-linux-gnu) Copyright (C) 1995-2001 Jörg Schilling > Linux sg driver version: 3.1.17 > Using libscg version 'schily-0.5' > scsibus0: > 0,0,0 0) '3ware ' '3w- ' '1.0' Disk > 0,1,0 1) * > 0,2,0 2) * > 0,3,0 3) * > 0,4,0 4) * > 0,5,0 5) * > 0,6,0 6) * > 0,7,0 7) * > scsibus1: > 1,0,0 100) 'HP ' 'CD-Writer+ 9100 ' '1.0a' Removable CD-ROM > 1,1,0 101) * > 1,2,0 102) * > 1,3,0 103) * > 1,4,0 104) * > 1,5,0 105) * > 1,6,0 106) * > 1,7,0 107) * > > Gregor Maier wrote: > > > On 25-Jul-2001 [EMAIL PROTECTED] wrote: > > > I recently installed a 3ware controller in my system.

Re: [expert] KDE list doesn't answer so here it is...
I realise it is beta. I also know what this means. What I want to know is if this is something unique to ME and my system or is it a more broadly experienced problem. If it is just me, that may mean I have a problem on MY system and it isn't a software (beta) bug, per se. If other experience it, then it is a general bug and something worthy of reporting. praedor On Friday 27 July 2001 03:25 pm, you wrote: > KDE 2.2 beta is BETA! You should expect a few bugs.

KDE 2.2 beta is BETA! You should expect a few bugs. All you can do is submit a bug report and wait. You may or may not receive a response. This is ABSOLUTELY ACCEPTABLE.

On Mandrake 7.2 with a server install, all of my inetd services are controlled with xinetd. To get imap working I had to: (1) edit /etc/inetd.conf and un-comment imap; (2) edit /etc/xinetd.d/imap and change disabled = yes to no; (3) /etc/rc.d/init.d/xinetd restart. Just changing the inetd.conf had no effect due to the /etc/xinetd.d/imap disabled = yes being set. Thanks for your help! -- David C. Rankin, J.D., P.E.

RE: [expert] New user.
Hi Eric, I've never tried this, but it should work. Boot into your Mandrake install media. Once you get to the main screen, type "F1" to get the other options screen. Once there, type "rescue". If memory serves, the install CD should work as a rescue disk as well and you should (after a minute or two) be placed in a very slimmed down console version of Linux. While the kernel is loading, pay close attention to where your hard drive is located. You should see the name of your hard drive and something like "/dev/hda" go by. You can use scroll lock if it goes by too fast. Write this down, you'll need it later. Once you're in the "rescue" mode, you'll have basically a bare bones system with none of your drives mounted. Create a directory off the root called "mydrive" (or anything you would like). Then, mount your Linux partition. To mount your Linux partition, use the command mount -t ext2 mydrive tells Linux what you're mounting. Part of it will be the device that was identified as your hard drive as you booted up (/dev/hda or something similar) and part will be the partition number of that device. For example, if your Linux partition is the second partition of the hard drive identified as "/dev/hda", would be probably be /dev/hda2 (it can get a little goofy with extended partitions and such). In this example, your mount command would be: mount -t ext2 /dev/hda1 mydrive This also assumes that you used ext2 (the default) file system type when you installed Mandrake. If you used Reiser, you would replace ext2 with "reiserfs" I believe. If you get the cryptic error "wrong fs type, bad option." it means your mounting the wrong partition. Don't fear. In the worst case, start with /dev/hda1 and go to /dev/hda10 until something works. You'll get it eventually. If your familiar with fdisk, you can also get more information about your partitions there by running the command "fdisk /dev/hda" and using the "p" option to print the partition tables. Once you have the hard drive mounted, go to the /mydrive directory. Type "chroot /mydrive" and hit enter. This "fools" Linux into thinking that the root of the filesystem is now in /mydrive rather than the rescue filesystem provided by Mandrake. At this point, you're essentially working with your filesystem. To change your root password, type /usr/bin/passwd . You should get the message that "all authentication tokens updated successfully" or something like that after you're prompted for a confirmation (and in my case, usually scolded for having a weak password :). At this point, you're done! I can't remember how to get out of rescue mode cleanly off the top of my head. I would try typing "exit" and seeing if that works. Otherwise, "shutdown -h now" or maybe just "reboot" will probably work. Barring that, I would just reboot the machine via the power switch. Cross your fingers and good luck! Good luck!

Re: [expert] USB-uhci/ webcam STRANGE problems
Those settings are what I use. However, I have discovered a strange thing. If I DISABLE ISQ assignment to the USB and disable the AC97 , then the system seems to work. The and is inclusive, so both have to be disabled. (I don't undersant the AC97, since it has nothing to do with it.) What I mean by seems, is that now when I try to use the camera, it does not accept any changes sent to it by , for example "echo "compression_mode:none" >> /dev/proc/cpia/video0 ", which did work before changing the motherboard. Also, if I use modprobe uhci, I never get any pictures because it gives EOL errors for every request. If I use the modprobe usb-uhci, I get extremely slow downloads because it constant complains about : usb-uhci.c: iso_find_start: gap in seamless isochronous scheduling and sometimes usb_control/bulk_msg: timeout I get about 1 frame per three seconds on the average, where as I could easily do 15 per second before.

Hi all, I would just love to replace our proprietry IVR system (running on NT servers) with an open source version, running on Mandrake Linux. We have a payment gateway where people can dial a number, enter their ID, and take payment from a client of theirs via their phone, ie they enter in the clients credit card no and expiry, and the amount they wish to charge and that is processed through our connection to the banks.. giving a real time answer and providing a unique receipt number... has anyone heard of or done anything like that with open source software? kindest regards Frank

i have the same card as yours ESS on my desktop. maybe you can check what sound modules are loaded (lsmod). you can rmmod the sblive modules and insmod the ess modules. after deleting the SBlive modules you can sndconfig and see if the system knows about your ess sound card. snd config will load the modules for you. well, that works for me ... =) dianne --- Roger Sherman <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> wrote: > -BEGIN PGP SIGNED MESSAGE- > Hash: SHA1 > > OK, I have a Compaq presario that has an integrated > soundcard (I didn't > know anything about such things when I bought this > PC).

Re: Re[4]: [expert] Problem with FTP server

[expert] Soundcard problem
-BEGIN PGP SIGNED MESSAGE- Hash: SHA1 OK, I have a Compaq presario that has an integrated soundcard (I didn't know anything about such things when I bought this PC). Right now I'm running 7.2, and have purchased a SoundBlaster Live! Platinum 5.1. At the time I installed the SB Live, I didn't have Linux on the PC, since I'd just reformatted windows. Now, previously, I did have 7.2 on the PC, so I know the stock integrated card (an ESS Technology ES1969 Solo-1 Audiodrive) works in Linux. So, in Windows I just disabled the ESS from the hardware profile, but wasn't sure how to go about it for Linux before I reinstalled 7.2, so I just went ahead and installed it without doing anything. Both cards were recognized, and both cards are listed in HardDrake, as well as Kmix. When I boot into Linux, the driver that gets loaded is the one for the ESS card. Now, neither card is working for me, I have no sound. Although the meters on XMMS do indicate that there is some kind of signal to be had...Anyways, I figure I have no sound because of a conflict between the two cards, so I set out to try to disable the ESS in Linux, but I couldn't find any documentation on that. So I email Compaq support to find out about disabling the card from either the BIOS, or the motherboard, and they respond that it can't be disabled from either place. So now it appears I'll have to take the PC to a compaq service center to have a new motherboard installed to use the SB Live!; but in the meantime I would still like to have sound, so could someone tell me how to take the SB Live out of the hardware profile in Linux so the ESS will work? That is, without removing the card from the PC, as I do use it in Windont, and preferably without reinstalling, as Im really happy with the way my machine is set up right now, outside of the soundcard thing...and hopefully without having to recompile, as Im a frightened newbie ;-) Though if I have to do that, I'll start reading...

Gregor Maier <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> wrote: > > If who have Windows machine as you said above you may also want to enter this > information in the WINDOWS-DIR\hosts file. Um, well, that might not hurt, but the purpose here was to make ftpd not take so long to start talking to the client (the windows machine is the client, as I recall - hope that's still right ;-). Now, if ftpd (the server) is checking to see if the name it finds using the reverse lookup (addr to name lookup) matches the name the client knows itself by, then maybe putting the names in the windows hosts file will help, maybe not... (One question I probably should have asked is - does telnet show the same delay upon startup? That's a pretty good indication that reverse lookups are involved.)

Have a look at the > DNS-Howto. It's quite good and you get a working dns server in (almost) no time And, since Glen said that he's using dhcp and thus 'cannot know' what IP addresses go with what machine (which is not the point, really), then its sounding like dns is the easiest answer. However, I'd not bother trying to make the names mean anything relative to the machine that gets it. Lets not lose track of the whole purpose we're doing this - to make ftpd able to find a name given an ip addr (later, if we find out that ftpd will complain or error if that name and the name the client machine knows itself by do not match, then we can address the issue of making the names match, but it will be much easier I think). (Well, ok, the ACTUAL reason is to get rid of the startup delay, but I'm pretty sure the startup delay is because of reverse-name-lookup, so that's what we're trying to fix here ;-) Ok, so either on DNS or in /etc/hosts, define names for all IP addresses your DHCP server could give out. Write a little basic program to create the file, as its a template with numbers changing. Since I know /etc/hosts by heart, I'll use it as an example, but you could 'easily' modify this to be the format bind (or equiv) needs. So, if you were doing /etc/hosts, it might look like this: 10.40.1.1 m001001 10.40.1.2 m001002 10.40.1.3 m001003 ...etc... 10.40.2.1 m002001 10.40.2.2 m002002 ...etc... that gives every possible ip address a name, and you don't have to change the name whenever a machine gets a new IP address. (BTW - if you are using ISC dhcp I think you can set it up so that ip addresses are assigned based upon MAC address of the host adapter, thus keeping the addresses the same for the machines you decide you want to stay at one 'spot') Now, if you want to assign reasonable names to each individual machine, you're going to be forced into working with your DHCP server to assign the same IP address (or name, but its the same thing, really) based upon the client host adapter's MAC address.
