RE: [expert] Corrupted files -RPM
One common source of problem which 8.1 exacerbates, through no fault of it's own, is DMA on CD-ROM drives. Some CD-ROM/R/W drives do not co-exist well with hard drives on the same IDE chain. These CD-RW drives can accept DMA access mode. Systems in turn do not favor dissimilar speeds on the same IDE bus. It seems especially if older IDE cables are used (noise?). On one particular new computer I have, CD access will hang up the system under Winblows or Linux if the CD drive and the hard drive on the same IDE channel have DMA enabled at the fastest speeds each support. LM8.1 seems to enable it by default. By turning off DMA on either the hard drive or CD ROM everything works... I can manually turn on DMA after the system starts, but I have to be careful with marginal CD's which will hang the computer during CD read requests... |I burnt CDs with those ISO Images downloaded from different ftp sites, |disregarding whether md5sum matching or un-matching | |1) Burning at 2X speed on 650 MB CD can't solve the problem |2) Burning at 8X speed on 700 MB CD as recommended by Charles |Charles A |Edwards also can't solve the problem. | | |However my discovery is quite interesting. | |CDs burnt with above methods can be used for installation (even md5sum |un-matching).

When we go beyond 4x we will get failed batches, which is not good.

[expert] realserver playlist
Hello experts! I'm writing again about realserver; this time it's about how to stream a playlist. I've been looking around at different formats that real server handles (.ram, .m3u, .smi) and the common thread that I've noticed is that each of these has to have the FULL path to each mp3 listed that you want to stream. Now this is for a home network where I would like to be able to sit at any of the computers, pull up real player, pick a playlist and start listening; however, I have over 500 mp3's on my local server - that's a lot of hand editing. I can ls the directory and output to the file I need, but getting the rest of the path added to each line has got me stumped. Is there a program that can handle this task? I've been looking at sed and awk, but I'm a little bit confused as to how to use them. TIA, Mike Want to buy your Pack or Services from MandrakeSoft? Go to http://www.mandrakestore.com

Put the following lines in the file. /dev/modem 115200 crtscts connect '/usr/sbin/chat -v -f /etc/ppp/chat-la-tierra' noauth user yourusername In /etc/ppp create a chat file called chat-isp.

The ip addresses on the third line are dummies and must not exist on your local subnet. If your isp uses PAP or CHAP: Modify your /etc/chap-secrets and /etc/pap-secrets as follows: add the line username * password * If your isp requires a login script(EXPECT SEND pairs), add the script to the end of your chat-isp file. Enter your username and password of course. These entries should be separated by tabs. Both of these files are essentially the same. The permissions for these files should be set to 0600 or pppd will complain. Modify /etc/sysconfig/network change FORWARD_IPV4=false to FORWARD_IPV4=true remove any lines that start with GATEWAY or GATEWAYDEV To start pppd at boot, add the following to the end of your /etc/rc.d/rc.local file. /usr/sbin/pppd call isp on your other computers, set the gateway entry to the ip of your linux box and the DNS entry to the ip of your isp's DNS server and dial-on-demand should work from any computer on your local subnet without the need for being logged into the Linux box. Much more detail can be found on mandrakeuser.org. This setup makes it fairly easy to reconfigure when upgrading if you back up your /etc directory prior to the upgrade and restore the appropriate files. There is a caveat. You will probably need to install and setup iptables to keep netbios name requests from your windows machines from triggering the dialer. hope this helps.

[expert] external usb hard drive problems
Hi, I have an external USB hard drive made by LaCie, which worked out of the box, was automatically detected during installation, and is set up with scsi emulation. If I boot with the drive turned on, it is accessible as sda1 sda5 (it is partitioned into 2 FAT32 partitions). There are errors when it first tries to mount, saying that the 2 devices do not exist, but then (I think because it only turns on scsi emulation AFTER trying to mount the drives) it tries a few seconds later in the boot sequence and is successful. My problem is as follows: if the drive is NOT turned on at boot time, I can NOT mount either of the partitions on the drive, getting an error message saying that the devices do not exist. The kernel modules for usb scsi emulation are loaded (and I even tried removing and reinserting the modules which I think are needed), but it just does not work. I think (and please tell me if I am wrong or omitting something) the modules that are used are usb-scsi usb-ohci and usb-storage (I think, am not at home and doing this from memory). The other question I have, although not as bad because it still works, is the error message I get when the system boots (that I mentioned at the beginning) where the mounting of the usb drive's partitions fails and then a few seconds later succeeds. Is this because the system tries to mount the scsi drives (sda1 sda5) BEFORE the usb-scsi emulation is loaded? I DO hope that someone can help me.

OK, haven't heard anything from anyone, but I've been doing some poking around in the meantime. It appears that Mandrake 8.0 does not support the size= option for tmpfs. This strikes me as being extremely bogus, since the following article describes virtual filesystems in the 2.4 kernel very explicitly as supporting the size= feature: http://www-106.ibm.com/developerworks/linux/library/l-fs3.html What's *wrong* with this distribution?!?! It wouldn't let me have a nic accessing the internet through a cable modem, and an internal modem as a backup access device, either! I've never seen a distro that didn't support multiple internet access methodologies! Non-standard and stunningly inflexible. Yeah, Linux for the masses. Never had any problems like this with Caldera, just got fed up with their corporate bent. Maybe I should re-think my position. So far, I'm completely underwhelmed with Mandrake.

I'm thinking of purchasing a barebones computer using an ECS P4-VXMS motherboard that uses the VIA Apollo P4X266 chipset with Award BIOS. Just wondering if anyone has any experiences to relate with this mobo and chipset. Thanks in advance. Ken Want to buy your Pack or Services from MandrakeSoft? Go to http://www.mandrakestore.com
[expert] Mandrake 8.1 Hangs on Shutdown
I installed 8.1 on a PC (not a laptop). For a few times, it shutdown just fine. Now, it consistently hangs on the shutdown at the X Windows message. Has anyone seen that before?

[expert] postfix cooker
Hi guys,, Anyone here using Postfix Snapshot 20011008 ??? just wondering if its stable enough for production systems... I looked at the changelog, and there are several minor bug fixes in the newer snapshot.. at least one of which was for talkin to Microsnot servers.. which would be nice since I have to do that in a few instances.. I currenly have postfix-20010228-p103 and I am finalising on my default install now that I am swapping from mdk7.2 to 8.1 Interestingly enough, the cooker release of postfix is exactly the same rpm as the default 8.1, I am assuming that this means they don't like to delve into beta releases?? I thought thats what cooker was for... oh well, no matter... rgds Frank Want to buy your Pack or Services from MandrakeSoft? Go to http://www.mandrakestore.com
Re: [expert] Mount vfat partitions on 2.4.10
Hi. Thanks for your help. I have no error when doing a make modules with 2.4.10 , a bit strange thing because modules vfat and fat are in place.Anyway I will follow your advice and try 2.4.9 Thanks, Jorge Giménez - Original Message - From: Karl Cunningham [EMAIL PROTECTED] To: [EMAIL PROTECTED] Sent: Friday, October 19, 2001 7:52 PM Subject: Re: [expert] Mount vfat partitions on 2.4.10 --On Friday, October 19, 2001 5:54 PM +0200 Jorge Giménez Mayorgas [EMAIL PROTECTED] wrote: I build a clean kernel with 2.4.10 sources .

I tried everything fat and vfat support in the kernel , separated from the kernel as modules. Nothing worked. On startup lm 8.0 complains about /dev/xxx bad superblock when mounting local filesystems. The only one thing is to update mount package. Can anyone help me?. I had this same problem on 2.4.11 and 2.4.12 and found that the kernel compile of modules was bombing out before it had all the modules built, and the ones it didn't get to weren't being installed. See if you have the vfat.o module available for your newly built version. If not, then you may have this same problem. You can also look at the compile output when doing 'make modules'. If the output shows errors at the end, this is likely your problem. I went back to the 2.4.9 kernel and it built all modules just fine. Karl Want to buy your Pack or Services from MandrakeSoft?

RE: [expert] Corrupted files -RPM
Hi Jose, Your burner could be going, the interface may be giving it heartaches, the Windows DLL hell could be rearing it's ugly head. IO.SYS in Winblows could be corrupt, etc. etc. etc. This is not my first time downloading Linux in Windows box. Previously I have downloaded RH 7.0, Mandrake-Linux 7.0, 7.2 ISO Images etc. and burnt CDs in Windows box without problem. The Mandrake-Linux 7.2 CDs now in my possession were also downloaded and burnt in a Windows Box. They work great without problem. My burner is rather new purchased about 3 weeks ago. OK, tomorrow I will change an older burner of slower speed to try. I can set up a Mandrake-Linux 7.2 box running in smooth condition to download Mandrake-Linux 8.1 ISO Images. But the problem is the HD being too small, only 3.3G insufficient to hold 3 ISO Images (approx 648 MB x 3). Hereinbelow are my test results ; I burnt CDs with those ISO Images downloaded from different ftp sites, disregarding whether md5sum matching or un-matching 1) Burning at 2X speed on 650 MB CD can't solve the problem 2) Burning at 8X speed on 700 MB CD as recommended by Charles Charles A Edwards also can't solve the problem. However my discovery is quite interesting. CDs burnt with above methods can be used for installation (even md5sum un-matching). All of them went through without problem. After installation completed Mandrake-Linux 8.1 started properly but the mouse died. At time of installation it was alive. It was a A4 Tech 3 button-wheel PS/2 mouse. The installing program selected PS/2 standard mouse automatically and I was not allowed to change. If changed the monitor screen started to blink and I could not change it back to PS/2 standard mouse. Then the PC will re-start automatically. After Mandrake-Linux 8.1 started, in KDE I brought up HardDrake window and found the mouse there under HardDrake List. At re-boot the PC hanged during kill process with following warning pop-up . . Mainloop return consoleInit : no such device or address INIT : no more left in this runlevel Then the PC hanged compelling me to force-reset the PC. Mandrake-Linux 8.1 started properly again but the mouse still died. I tested both re-boot and halt options. The exiting results were the same. Another interesting point is CDs thus burnt can be cross-used for installation. Un-matching md5sum became un-important. P.S. My PC, hard disc and CDROM proved in good condition. Mandrake-Linux 7.2 can be installed and run properly in the same PC and hard disc B.R.

[expert] Re: [kde-linux] What's wrong with konqueror vs this shockwave flash cartoon?
A fix, of sorts! It appears that realplayer screws up the shockwave flash setup. I had two x-shockwave application entries, one for the netscape plugin and one associated with realplayer. The former was straight x-shockwave-flash while the realplayer was x-shockwave-flash2. Both have the same swf file extension. The former is associated with embedded nsplugin viewer, the latter with...nothing. I tried to associate both with the internal netscape plugin viewer but this caused the creation of a third x-shockwave entry, basically a copy of the original realplayer entry. Deleting these extras made the link work - though after I selected konqueror web browser from the popup application window. Realplayer messes up SOME shockwave flash associations. The test All your base are belong to us flash movie on the tutorial page works as it should...regardless of realplayer.
