Re: [expert] Cable modem
Guy, I think your still a bit confused about what civileme was saying. From my recollection of your original post, you initially had your system configured to use your modem to access the internet. (or that is the way the install configured your system) You now have an ethernet card and a serial modem installed in your system. You want to use the ethernet card and your cable modem to access the internet and you want the serial modem to "shut up" and let you do it. The problem is that your network configuration still thinks your serial modem is the default route to the internet and has no idea what to do with your ethernet card or cable modem. To solve the problem, follow the steps that civileme suggested. What he is having you do is reconfigure your network configuration so that your ethernet card (eth0) is the default route to the internet instead of your USR modem. The configuration that needs to be done has nothing to do with your USR modem being on or off. You basically just have to configure your box to look to your network card for the internet connection instead of looking to the USR modem for the connection. I haven't played with LM8.0, basically because 7.2 works flawlessly for me. If they still have linuxconf in 8.0, give that a try to configure your ethernet card.

This seems to tell me that Mandrake isn't seeing my NIC (or so I think). Can anyone tell me what the problem MIGHT be? What is is saying is that your NIC is not the internet connection. In order to have more than one internet connection, you need to use DrakProfile to set up multiple profiles. If you during install set up the NIC first than added a normal modem (not a cable modem), this would be exactly what would happen. The NIC would be assumed to be a local netwiork connection and the modem the internet connection. To do this properluy, remove ALL interfaces then put just the NIC back and let that be yuour internet gateway. Draknet was set up this way because many customers use a Mandrake system as a gateway to the internet for other local machines--sharing an internet connection. The easiest way is to reinstall in this case, and make sure you talk to Draknet in its interface window during install and install ONLY local network. The current Beta has a Draknet that removes manyu of the restrictions of 8.0 including the one you speak of. Civileme QA Team Want to buy your Pack or Services from MandrakeSoft?

[expert] Upgradeing KDE to 2.2 problems
Dear Stephen, I suggest you upgrade to 2.1.x kde version. That is easier to handle. >From release 7.0, I never upgrade gnome or kde success. Too many dependencies problems together with other packages (software) problems. Just because mandrake does not provide their own kde new versions(I cannot find in their web site, see if any tricky), like SuSE, Slackware, (redhat sometime provide but just install kde new version download from kde ftp site 99% work but the download version from kde ftp site broken the gnome in Redhat 7.1), so suggest not upgrade if not a advanced user of Linux or Mandrake. If you buy Mandrake package, summit the serial number and get Mandrake is a better way. Also some software need newer rpm version to install, take care. Don't try to upgrade other software from Mandrake cooker but you can download Mandrake Cooker iso to burn a cd then just install the cooker version, it is work and contain many new version software, kernel, ...etc. Until now (over one year) I cannot find any document outline about new version of kde installation problems in Mandrake (gnome too). But other then upgrade new software, Mandrake is the nicest Linux for common user. Easy install and use. But just the administration of the system is not quite good. The new beta version 8.1 contain many gui interface to configure the system, But I want to point out that gui user interface contain many weak points in doing things in a operating system, many mature Unix version also have many problems in gui user interface. But rare people like command line. So mac and pc attract people, this is a rule. Every people from the beginning in the world govern by this rule. The definition of the rule is : Every people in the world like easy, pretty and usable things BUT does not like to give time to work hard and Thinking, this doesn't mean people are lazy. Every people in the world from the beginning is that. But if a software/hardware or other products (TV, mobile phone, ...) need too much time to learn to use, need to think too much time to use every time, who buy it ? Much people say balance, but until now no one success for a few hundred of years. Each Linux(Unix) version contain strong points and weak points. I personally like Mandrake, SuSE, Slackware, Redhat, Debian, ...etc and FreeBSDs. Also some other distribution (you can find many in www.linux.org, lwn.net, ...) are very good choose.

Any help would be greatly > appreciated. First off, read the security advisory... you're not really supposed to use MU for this. =) Second, boot from your rescue floppy/install CD and mount your root fs. You can take the 2.4.3-20mdk from the original 8.0 install and re-install it (use rpm -ivh) so it's alongside the other kernel. Then edit /etc/lilo.conf to include it (it should already be in there, but just check to make sure). This should allow you to boot normally into your system. At that point, I'd remove the update kernel and re-install it (also upgrade the header/sources/etc. with it). Make sure you "rpm -ivh" it so it doesn't remove your old kernel. Then you can try booting from it to make sure it works. I don't know *why* it doesn't work, however. If you can provide more details, that would be ideal. -- [EMAIL PROTECTED], OpenPGP key available on www.keyserver.net 1024D/FE6F2AFD 88D8 0D23 8D4B 3407 5BD7 66F9 2043 D0E5 FE6F 2AFD - Danen Consulting Serviceswww.danen.net, www.freezer-burn.org - MandrakeSoft, Inc.

Re: [expert] What's with this?
Hi, I applied a diff file to the tarball. I then bziped this tarball back into the originally-named xpdf-0.92.tar.bz2. Running the rpm -bb command, it properly un-bzips and untars the xpdf file and creates an xpdf-0.92 source directory in the /usr/src/RPM/SOURCES directory. It just wont do anything else. I cd'd into this xpdf directory and tried manually doing a ./configure and it works fine. I can't do this though because there are patches with the src that aren't applied yet (and reading the man page on patch has never made sense to me since whenever I have EVER followed the instructions in the manpage for patch, it INVARIABLY fails to do anything but err out). So, I am willing to do a manual build since it appears that rpm is retarded. I just don't know how to do the patches since the manpage for patch is itself retarded and doesn't work as written. Any pointers on how to patch? I have tried unbziping and untarring the patch file, leaving them as tar.bz2 files...all to no avail. Manually running patch as per the manpage fails.

Re: [expert] What's with this?
Actually, if I remember correctly, the source binary goes in /usr/src/RPM/SOURCES, the spec file then uncompresses this into either /tmp or /var/tmp as well as /usr/src/RPM/BUILD (maybe only one really gets created). Then it builds the package in that temp directory, installs it to a mini-tree, then packages the installed files. If you did not put the .tar.bz2 or .tar.gz file into the SOURCES directory then it won't be able to decompress these and make the proper tree.

This seems to tell me that Mandrake isn't seeing my NIC (or so I think). Can anyone tell me what the problem MIGHT be? What is is saying is that your NIC is not the internet connection. In order to have more than one internet connection, you need to use DrakProfile to set up multiple profiles. If you during install set up the NIC first than added a normal modem (not a cable modem), this would be exactly what would happen. The NIC would be assumed to be a local netwiork connection and the modem the internet connection. To do this properluy, remove ALL interfaces then put just the NIC back and let that be yuour internet gateway. Draknet was set up this way because many customers use a Mandrake system as a gateway to the internet for other local machines--sharing an internet connection. The easiest way is to reinstall in this case, and make sure you talk to Draknet in its interface window during install and install ONLY local network. The current Beta has a Draknet that removes manyu of the restrictions of 8.0 including the one you speak of. Civileme QA Team Want to buy your Pack or Services from MandrakeSoft?

Re: [expert] Cable modem
You probably need to give us a little more information. Like what type of network card is this that you are having problems with? Is this an external cable modem or one that is internal and needs its own driver (this is very uncommon). And for sound, what type of sound card is it? It is fairly likely that you just need to get a few modules configured to come up during boot time. The easy, cheating way, to do this is to simply add the module to the end of the /etc/modules file. But that doesn't solve some problems that you may have, and it doesn't deal with the options you may need to set. So it is best to work with this in conjunction with your /etc/modules.conf file. If Mandrake can't see your ethernet card, then it can't be configured. So you need to first resolve the fact that Mandrake can't see the card. If it is a PCI card you can usually find information on the card by typing lspci, and reviewing the output. However, to get the card working you will need to examine your installed modules with lsmod. Then you can install modules that are missing to make the card work. Once you figure out what had to be done to make the card work you can configure this information into your modules.conf file and modules file. The hardware tools in the Mandrake control panel should be helpful. On Thu, 30 Aug 2001, Guy R Gauthier wrote: > This will be my last request for help in installing my modem in Mandrake > 8.0.

Re: [expert] Problem with soundcard Avance Logic Gold ALS120
You haven't stated if you did a fresh install of LM 8.0 or an upgrade or which kernel you are using. I may be incorrect in this but I believe that if you are using the 2.4.x kernel you do not need the /etc/ispnp config in your system. You might try renaming this /etc/isapnp file and then reboot the system to see if the sound card and modules are then correctly loaded. Also double check the items in your /etc/modules.conf file and do a depmod -ae prior to rebooting.

[expert] Strange Login Issue
What could be causing this? I boot up, login, startx. Try to open a console window (Which usually goes very fast, a second or two) and it opens, shows a cursor and then sits for 30 seconds to a minute then gives me a command prompt. Works fine after this point. If I exit KDE, logout of the machine and try to log back in... it takes my password... sits for about 1 minute or so and then returns me to the login prompt not allowing me to login as ANY user. I have never seen this before. The machine was working fine... no errors on bootup or anything. Nothing was upgraded or changed on the machine before it stopped working. I also noticed if I try to do a iptables -L it hangs at the INPUT rules and I have to do a Control-c to get control again. If I do a iptables -F I am then able to do a iptables -L. If I add ANY input rules by hand or run the tiny firewall config I get the problem back. Any ideas? I am using LM8.0 This machine was running perfect... Dave

Re: [expert] RTL8139too
hi, i got a RTL8139 working a few weeks ago, also with a pcmcia-wireless card, its a kind of router now. im not sure but i think i had some irq-probs too. i solved it with the bios settings. i set in the bios NO-Irq-sharing for a special slot and it worked. you have to try to put your cards in different slots maybe. its not possible on all motherboards to set irqs in all slots. its also possible with some modules to change the irq and the base adress, maybe you have to change the irq-setting on the card to (jumpers?). i have no access to the box where i installed the RTL8139, but when im there i will take a look at it. s. z.

[expert] Upgradeing KDE to 2.2
Hi, I hope someone can help me please. I would like to upgrade my KDE but I am having a lot of difficulties upgrading to KDE 2.2 from KDE 2.0.1 on MDK7.2, (Fully patched). There are two things that are causing me difficulties, Sorting out the dependencies (where do I stop getting more and more RPM's) and what version of XFree should I be using to complete the upgrade. The Dependencies and where do I stop. The amount of RPM's that rpm -Uvh --test *.rpm suggest, eventually end up saying that I need to upgrade glibc, This is not a good move, so where do I stop and ignore the dependencies required to upgrade KDE and use --nodeps or even -force ? Xfree, is this relevant, do I need to be running a 4.x.x series of XFree or will the version 3 that comes with MDK7.2 be sufficient?

[expert] Problem with soundcard Avance Logic Gold ALS120
Although the problems of the Avance Logic soundcards have been repeatedly discussed and long howto-texts are available, I need some help for the following problem. I switched from MD 7.2 to MD 8.0 In MD 7.2 I used the alsa-package to bring sound into my system by integrating the als100-module (witch works also for als120) into my kernel. Then I could use alsamixer and alsaplayer to listen to CDs and wav-files. The CD-player in the multimedia submenue didn't work. After switching to MD 8.0 and the new kernel there is an error message during booting: "coundn't fetch soundmodule als100". After that the ISA-PNP-soundmodule is correctly loaded. After booting I can use the CD-player in the multimedia-submenue, while, of course, alsaplayer doesn't work, since I haven't installed the alsa-package on my new system yet. But what strikes me is that all other multimedia-devices don't work either: they all hang when I am trying to start them --exept for the CD-player. I think I have two options: a. Integrate the alsapackage into the new kernel. But I am not sure if the CD-player will work then, and after all I prefer the CD-player and not the alsaplayer. b. Delete the old alsaplayer-settings from the /etc/modules.config-file. But when I do that, there is absolutely NO SOUND available on the system, even the CD-Player doesn't work. So which way would be best to come to a working system with good sound integration? Any hint very welcome!
