This is the wrong way to do it. XKill looks for a window, and tell the X server to disconnect it from the display. This is a rather brutal way of ending a process (kind of like sending a "hangup" signal). You generally shouldn't use it. It it in the same department as 'kill -9' (that is: killing a process with SIGKILL). It also doesn't gurantee that the pocess terminates. If the process is terribly hung, then the X server will indeed close the window, and deallocate any resource on the X server, but the process may continue to run without a window. > > I clicked on Xkill (in the KDE menu).

You didn't kill the galeon icon. You killed the KDE file manager (Konquror). XKill only closes windows (and in a rather brutal way).

What do you mean? have you tried: ps ax |grep galeon or: pgrep -v galeon (if pgrep, Process GREP, is installed) However, at this point I begin to suspect that indeed there is no galeon process running, and it only left some lock file behind (netscape user speaking) > > I logged out of KDE and shut down the system, unplugged the power cable, > reconnected it, rebooted, logged back into KDE, tried once again to launch > Galeon.

I admit I don't know galeon. If nobody gives you a better answer: Galeon probably wants to have only one copy per desktop. /usr/bin/galeon is probably a script that runs /usr/bin/gaelon-bin . Have a look at this script and see what files it checks. Maybe galeon left a reference to the running copy and forgot to remove it. > > As a last resort, before sending this message, I uninstalled galeon (rpm -e > galeon) and reinstalled it. Tried launching it again. Still won't start. The problem seems to lye with the user configuration files, not with the system configuration files (because another user has managed to run galeon). Hence the following standard debugging procedure: If those meassures work, then the problem is somewhwere with the local config files. You can try renaming the configuration directory of galeon and re-running it. Hopefully it will lose all of its configuration, but will run. The remove the newly created config directory, and try to see what was wrong with your old config directory... -- Tzafrir Cohen mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] http://www.technion.ac.il/~tzafrir
Re: [expert] VMWare and INet sharing.
I have returned my system to its original statere-installed from scratch an restored from tape important config files. I have checked the iptables config and all appears OK. I can now connect from another machine on the network to the internet. The VMware Win98 machine can ping an external address, it can even telnet to an external IP, but it will not connect to an www address in explorer. I must be missing something, is it something to do with DNS/translation ??? Thanks in advance for any help.

[expert] Galeon won't start
Dear friends: I had this problem before and somehow or other it solved itself. sher@localhost sher]$ rpm -q galeon galeon-0.11.3-1mdk [sher@localhost sher]$ rpm -q mozilla mozilla-0.9.2-7mdk [sher@localhost sher]$ Galeon won't start either when I click on the Galeon desktop icon or when I type "galeon" as user in xterm. I even tried to start Galeon by adding "kstart" to the executable line: "kstart /usr/bin/galeon". Doesn't work. The "Galeon" icon appears for a while in the panel, the icon spins for a good while and then just disappears. I went into xterm and typed "galeon". I got a message that said: "Galeon is arleady running. Will use existing version." (Perhaps not exactly what it the error message said but very close to it). I recall the advice I got the last time this happened (about 6 weeks ago): Use Xkill to kill Galeon by shutting down both "galeon" and "galeon-bin". I clicked on Xkill (in the KDE menu). The cursor changed to a death's head. I then moved it over the Galeon desktop icon and clicked. I not only killed Galeon. I killed ALL of the desktop icons PLUS the panel, leaving me with a blank desktop. I clicked on the desktop and logged out, then rebooted. Still, same problem. Galeon refuses to launch. I typed "top" in xterm and could see no reference to galeon or galeon-bin. I logged out of KDE and shut down the system, unplugged the power cable, reconnected it, rebooted, logged back into KDE, tried once again to launch Galeon. Again, same problem. I launched Konqueror as root, went to /usr/bin/ and clicked on "galeon". It brought up the Galeon welcome screen, followed by a request for creating a profile. So, Galeon seems to work as root. I decided not to proceed since I don't need or want a "root" account of Galeon. This is very puzzling. Unfortunately, I have exhausted my "trial and error" options at this point. As a last resort, before sending this message, I uninstalled galeon (rpm -e galeon) and reinstalled it. Tried launching it again. Still won't start. Would very much appreciate your help.

Re: [expert] kernel compiling
as far as i know, the ".config" file of any kernel
that you build yourself as a user will always be found
in /usr/src/linux, not in any directory. this is
overwritten everytime you 'make config' or 'make
menuconfig' so the backup (of config file) should be
safe somewhere else.

Not exactly, at least not on my system (7.2, with a kernel package from
the updates):
$ rpm -ql kernel |grep -v /lib/modules
/boot/System.map-2.2.19-4.1mdk
/boot/vmlinuz-2.2.19-4.1mdk
/usr/share/doc/kernel-2.2.19
/usr/share/doc/kernel-2.2.19/kernel-2.2.19-4.1mdk-i586.config
and there's no config file under boot.
So the config file is saved in the documentation directory of that
package.

Worth noting for anyone who doesn't know that Mandrake stuffs the .config

Re: [expert] kernel compiling
if you download/installed the Mandrake kernel source rpm, the .config file used to build that kernel is there. its quite interesting to know what is enabled/disabled by default by MDK. but if you download the kernel source from kernel.org, you will have to build .config yourself... i usually keep a copy of the .config file from my last stable kernel. when i want to upgrade to a new kernel version, i run: make oldconfig which only prompts me for new options asked in the new kernel. i dont have to go thru that long long long process of answer Y,N and m everytime. =) dianne --- "Sheldon E.

[expert] Can't Access My linux box! R there any experts out there ??? (converted from html and answered)
> Thus spake "jawad haider" <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> (in html, converted to english ;-) Hi: I have a linux(mandrake) server and its "hosts.deny" file deny All except localhost and another "ip" The problem is that I am not able to access this server remotely through telnet from any machine not even from the machine having same "ip" as mentioned in the host.deny file. Only once I could access it remotely through telnet from machine with "ip". Error msg that I get is "Remote system refused the connection .." And also I am not able to login through server terminal because the keyboard is not getting connected. when I connect the keyboard, initially three lights of the keyboard(caps, num and scroll lock) blinks for a second and then goes off. I am using this server as gateway, its runing fine other than the fact I am not able get hold of it :) Can anyone help me out ? Have my server been hacked ? Thanks Jawad << End forwarded message (first, PLEASE try to NOT send html-email! It greatly reduces your chance of being answered (at least by me ;-) ) First, is the telnet daemon running on the server? Second, when you plug the keyboard in, do you do it BEFORE booting or after? Their MAY be a problem with your BIOS or whatever that won't let a keyboard be recognized after booting without one. Third, it would be much wiser to use sshd instead of telnetd (i.e. use ssh to get to the machine instead of telnet). http://www.openssh.org/ (I think) (Plus, it MAY already be on your machine, or their may be RPMs for it - you'll need the sshd (server) software on the server, and ssh client software on the machine you allow in. Hopefully this helps. And at this point I'd reserve judgement on whether you've been hacked or not - its possible, but I doubt it right now... rc Rusty E.

I haven't kept up with the recent developments, but in the old days, one would only need the .config file that is used to make the kernel that is shipped with the distribution.

[expert] Still having problems with Mandrake 8 and Thinkpad 760XD pointer.
This is beginning to get annoying. In order for my eraserhead pointer to work when X starts, I have to move it back and forth like I'm playing Pac Man while on speed. It usually takes 2 or 3 restarts of the X server to get it to work. I posted this as a problem a while back, has anyone ever figured out the cause and solution? (BTW, I'm using XF4.0.3 and a stock Mandrake 8 install) --- This message (including any attachments) is confidential and may be privileged.

Glad I saw your post. I just installed Freq2 and hadn't tested iptables or a firewall yet. I had the same problem as you. I d/l'd this cooker src.rpm and 'rpm --rebuild' it. iptables-1.2.2-3mdk.src.rpm Then I 'rpm -Uvh' the iptables-1.2.2-3mdk.i686.rpm it wrote. That works. -- Tom Brinkman Galveston Bay
[expert] kernel compiling
is there some program that compiles the kernel source and produces the vmlinuz and initrd files that the regular kernel has? I've followed the directions in the readme file and end up with a bzImage file. There are instructions for making an initrd file from scratch but surely there must be some script file somewhere that does that.

You might try raising the voltage to the cpu (Vcore) if your board supports doing so. That was one suggestion VIA made public for mnimizing the bug. Suggested was 1.82v for a Tbird (default is 1.75v). Mine's oc'd so I normally run it at 1.8v Vcore and 3.42v IO -- Tom Brinkman Galveston Bay > > On Tue, 31 Jul 2001, Tom Brinkman wrote: > > On Monday 30 July 2001 07:41 pm, Ron Johnson wrote: > > > Do I remember properly that because of the bug in this chip, > > > that the LM80 2.4 kernel SRPMs have DMA disabled on IDE CDRs and > > > CDRWs?

Anyone know why? I've been using Windowmaker extensively in Mkd 7.1, 7.2, 8.0, and Freq2 and have never seen the behavior your describe.
