RE: [expert] re: telnet -sever mdk 8.1 NON COMPILING MODULES
I went back a version and installed mdk 8.0 and the telnet server dos'nt function on that either. howver the telnet server does act ok as a client, so the prblem is not a service or xinitd function.. BUT.. I 'm still absolutly screwed with this build. I 'm unable to get the NAT function of iptables to function , so the machines behind the firewall cant get out to the rest of the net. I need to build these into the kernel, but no matter what I try the modules do not compile.

[expert] Devfs, M8.1 and Ps2 mouse
Hi, I've upgraded Mandrake 8.0 to 8.1 and I am having problems with mouse detection. It seems it is due to devfs support configuration. When X Windows starts, either on system bootup or just after doing 'killall X', mouse does not respond. If I do CRTL + ALT + F1 and I go back to X with ALT + F7, X Window freezes for half a second and then comes back with the mouse working properly! I cannot make gpm work either from system bootup, even configuring it saying that my mouse is /dev/misc/psaux instead of /dev/mouse. It seems the device file /dev/misc/psaux is not accesible at boot time. The funny thing is that if I go to a text console again after bootup and I do /etc/init.d/gpm start then the gpm works fine. I think this behavior is just seen in kernels with devfs support. Do someone know why is this happening? Is there a way to fix it without switching off devfs support? Thanks very much in advance!

Re: [expert] LM 8.0 and Intel fortran 5.0
Hi Eduardo, I have installed ifc 5.0.1 (evaluation version) on my 1.8GHz Pentium 4 system running LM 8.1. This is the only way that I can get a performance much better than with a Pentium III. Unfortunately, I was not aware of the new architechture used in the Pentium 4, and the problems (relating to speed) except when using the Intel compiler. I have tested some astronomical photometry software for speed using different compilers and Pentium III (733MHz) and Pentium 4 (1.8GHz): g77-3.0 + Pentium III: 1120s g77-3.0 + Pentium 4 : 701s ifc-5.0 + Pentium III: 960s ifc-5.0 + Pentium 4 : 466s The Pentium 4 instructions should be included in gcc-3.1 and g77-3.1, but it is first expected around April 2002.

Re: [expert] Some Toshiba laptop problems with MDK 8.1
my preliminary web searches do not find any information on getting 8.1 to work but, i will look a little further for you. kde is an environment with many packages and upgrading it could take some time. i would recommend going to www.kde.org to see what they have to say about it. inevibably, when you go to install the rpm's, you will get some dependency issues. whenever i find myself in that situation, i just go out and get the dependent rpm and install, backtracking the dependencies as i go. if kde does not list mdk rpm's, i would suggest going to www.rpmfind.net to get them so you know they are compatable with the distro. i will let you know if i find anything more on making 8.1 work. that would be the prefered method. -- quintin holmberg On Sun, 2001-10-28 at 03:04, [EMAIL PROTECTED] wrote: I am having problems to migrate my laptop (Toshiba satellite 4090XCDT) from 8.0 to 8.1; in fact the problem appears with the X configuration, the installation detects the appropriate video-card (Trident Cyber 9525 generic) and as monitor the SVGA High frequency, 1024x768 at 70 Hz.

Or maybe just pick an already existing group and put the partition in that group.

Re: [expert] JRE 1.4 beta doesn't work with Mozilla nor Netscape
After extensive testing trying to get 1.4 beta2 working with Opera 5.05, I've come to the conclusion that the java plugin supplied by Sun is broke. Running opera at the command line and watching the output when I visit java.sun.com, I get: Error in initializing function pointer xislocked_fn Error in initializing function pointer xislocked_fn Note that there are two applets on that website. I haven't tried it with Mozilla, but I did some testing with the jdk 1.3.1 for Linux and various browsers and found the NS 4 plugin is broke. If I loaded NS 4.7x with the plugin linked and check the version of java running by viewing the java console in NS, I notice it was using the built in 1.1.4 (or is 1.1.5, I forget now). But in Mozilla using the NS 6 plugin, I got the correct 1.3.1 version string. It's worth noting that the jdk 1.3.1 NS4 plugin didn't work with Opera 5.05 either. I'm about to try Blackdown's jdk and see if that fixes it (I hope it does). Regards, Woody On Wed, 2001-09-26 at 07:02, Jose Orlando T. Ribeiro wrote: From: Jose Orlando T.

Re: [expert] Cameras
I use the same technique. It works with the Fuji Finepix 1400, the Casio QV series, the Toshiba PDR series, and I have viewed reports that it works with the Olympus models as well. If it's a USB camera, there should be no problem with mounting the memory card as a SCSI device, and then reading it as a drive. Also, it doesn't matter whether the card is smartmedia or compactflash - I have used the same method with both types. Bob I use a FujiFilm FinePix 1300 (USB). It's never in any of the lists of cameras in things like gphoto or KDE's camera control center tool that I've seen, but it works great with Linux. I just load the usb-storage module, mount /dev/sda1 and copy my pics right off. It shows up as a vfat partion on a SCSI (emulated) drive. In MDK 8.1 I let the USB daemon auto-load the module and have a mount point predefined in /etc/fstab (using the noauto option to prevent errors at boot). I also use the ro option as the camera doesn't seem to like it when external devices write to it's smart media card. -- Woody ([EMAIL PROTECTED]) Want to buy your Pack or Services from MandrakeSoft?

Re: [expert] Remote access to linux box
it would be much more secure if you piped the X display through an ssh connection via the X-forwarding mechanism. Anyways, if it is inside a firewall, and you are not accessing it over the internet, you need to set the DISPLAY variable. Otherwise, the xterm will not know which display on which host to use.

Re: [expert] rejecting sites mail with postfix
David, I am trying to block some spam sites from gaining entry into my system, and I run my own mail server (no pop - smtp right to my dsl address) and according to the manpages, it would appear that I should put the trouble- some sites in /etc/postfix/access, one per line, along with a REJECT message; probably the simplest way to do this. So I have a few lines: 163.net REJECT customoffers.com REJECT 263.net REJECT etc. I then restart postfix by 'service postfix restart', the access.db file is subsequently rewritten. Still though I get spam from these sites, and postfix seemingly is ignoring these rules. Try adding this line into your /etc/postfix/main.cf file... access_maps = regexp:/etc/postfix/access And then restart postfix with 'service postfix restart' Thanks... Dan.

[expert] Remote Login and VNC

The initscript looks fairly straightforward for one user, but I can't work out what teh delimiter is for multiple users (I tried tabs, spaces, Returns and and semi-colons - no luck) 2) Is there anyway of exporting the graphical login to VNC so a user on a VNC client logs in to teh box, and I don't have to start a vnc server for each specific user that needs remote access?
