[expert-it] Client X
Salve a tutti... Ho messo su un server e tanti piccoli client X la cosa sembra funzionare bene, ma mi e' venuto un dubbio... Come posso fare per continuare ad usare dispositivi della macchina client quali floppy o cdrom una volta che mi sono connesso ad un server X remoto? volgio dire, ammesso che poi questo sistema dovra' essere usato da persone che non sanno nulla di informatica come gli spieghi che non puo' piu' salvaresi le foto porno sul dischetto?? :)) Si puo' risolvere la questione senza inutili giri ridontanti di telnet o nfs?

Hi, The following may be of interest to Mandake experts: Sun's StartOffice (SO) can be installed in a 'network' mode by root, followed by 'workstation' installs by users. This saves mucho disk space. Trouble was, on Mandrake 8.1, only 'root' could run SO after a workstation install. Mortals got an odd error message about '.sversionrc' when trying to run SO. It turns out that SO tries to open the user's PARENT directory (~/..) as part of the startup. In Mandrake, under high security setting, this fails.

RE: [expert] Why do I have 2 IPs?
Pesarif: The IP which seems to be the local machine is called the loopback address. It is necessary.

[expert] Re: Best Video cards for Linux?
Hello First of all I must say I am not an nvidia fanatic or so, I dont like the drivers be closed-source either. But I believe that nvidia cards are the best opengl cards around,and despite the source is closed, nvidia is doing a great job for linux. For the following, there are things to be corrected. All I am saying here have been tested with nvidia tnt2 ultra, geforce DDR and geforce 2 MX. Well i dont now if i have good understand, butt someone has tell You to buy NVidia? No! I personally advice to buy a geforce 2 mx. I am using an Aska geforce 2mx, and superb performance, and the price is very very good. As You now NVidia is giving binary drivers. It means that only nvidia can track and remove bugs, make new versions of that drivers. Sure, but what problem is there, that they dont fix? they put drivers for every distro, they correct all the problems I hear of, etc. It is realy bad! Look - for example rivafb. If You use that framebuffer console and nvidia drivers then after every ctrl-alt-Fx your desktop looks like sh***, if You be able to see it ;) I never ever had such a problem in many distro's I have used lately, mandrake to slackware, redhat to any other. MDK 8.0 nothing such happened ( I switch between X and pure console so many times ) And - there is NO framebuffer support in kernel for geforces XXX. U will must use text-console. Then what is the framebuffer console I have been using here ? I am using 1024x768 framebuffer console and I did not do anything to configure it. It is written in lilo, and it works. So does kernel support it. Look on radeon - radeonfb - it is and works. DRI/DRM - works, and is developeded, bugtracked by people from all over the world. Nvidia support seemed fine to me till now, if it will change I will let you ppl know about it. Let me show You some MPlayer manual fragments! : I 2.2.1.2.3. nVidia cards nVidia isn't a very good choice under Linux.. You'll have to use the binary nVidia driver, available at nVidia's website. The standard X driver doesn't support XVideo for these cards, due to nVidia's closed sources/specifications. Then how am I able to use xine with Xv extensions ? XShm works fine too. II Q: OpenGL (-vo gl) output doesn't work (hangup/black window/X11 errors/...). A: Your opengl driver doesn't support dynamic texture changes (glTexSubImage) It's known not to work with nVidia's binary shit. It's known to work with Utah-GLX/DRI and Matrox G400 card. Also with DRI and Radeon card. It won't work with DRI others than these. it will not work with 3DFX cards because the 256x256 texture size limit. That sounded tooo funny to me :) Nvidia's linux drivers are written by nvidia and silicon graphics, who created the openGL, so please dont tell me they forgot to put support for this extension. Besides that, if I am right, nvidia's drivers are the first that supports openGL 1.3 ICD, even before mesa. III Q: I have an nVidia XYZ card, and when I click on the GUI's diplay window to toggle displaying the GUI panel, a black square appears where I clicked. I have the newest driver. A: Yes, nvidia corrected a previous bug (above), and implemented a new one. Let's congratule them. etc. etc. ;))) Is there anyone out there, who can prove it is a bug of nvidia, but not mplayer ? Why does it happen only at mplayer ? I dont know it may be nvidia's fault, but why is it only happening at mplayer... And after all these, I must remind you a quote. Dont believe everything you read or hear. Isn't it the mplayer, who refuses to compile on gcc 2.96 saying it skips mmx codes etc. ? Read the articles around the world about this, and some a few of mplayer. They do a good job, I agree, but not everyone is perfect. So, better buy Radeon. NVidia works butt you just cant now how long and how good. That is my opinion. Regards Gniazdowski. These were my opinions and proofs of some stuff. I believe you dont have an nvidia card, so please give up talking about stuff that you dont know, even if you are trying to help. That will quicken things. Respect Onur Kucuk __ Do You Yahoo!?

I'm not sure that Apache needs 755 -- are you talking about the apache executable files or web pages to be served? Mandrake 7.2 installs the apache executables somewhere and defaults to storing web pages and so forth in /home/httpd IIRC. If a user want to store web pages to be served in his own home directory, he has to do a number of things: * Modify the httpd.conf file (somewhere over in /etc, IIRC) to treat some directory in his home directory as what I'll call an htdocs directory. IIRC, he does this by setting an alias for the directory in the httpd.conf file. * Files in that directory to be served must somehow allow read access by the apache user (the owner of the apache executable files, which is not recommended to be root for security reasons). IIRC, the apache user on Mandrake 7.2 is apache (many other systems use nobody, some use something else). There are various ways to allow read access by apache, some are: * Set the world permissions to 5 (like 715) so everyone can read the file * Set the group to apache (or a group including apache) and the group permissions to 5 (like 751). The above ignores a few points: * apache may need execute permissions on the directory containing those files, so it can search the directory * if you install something like a wiki (TWiki) that allows people to edit these files via their web browser, apache must have write access to these files. And how come MDK8.0 by default does 700? I don't know. Hope this helps, Randy Kramer Want to buy your Pack or Services from MandrakeSoft? Go to http://www.mandrakestore.com

Re: [expert] Internet Connection Sharing
It´s easier than that... in one network interface do you have the DHCP address that you've got from Road Runner, the other network interface you should have a private address (something like 192.168.0.1) and the other computers you should config 192.168.0.1 as the gateway and the network address as 192.168.0.2. orlando George Jones (IT) wrote: I have Comcast Road Runner cable.

Hi George, Check the configuration from a root command prompt, #ifconfig You should see your eth0 with an internet IP, and eth1 with an address of 192.168.0.1.

Re: [expert] mdk8.1 laptop sound
Hi Mike, On my Compaq, I had an ESS that wasn't supported either. I used OSS, and paid the lowsey 10 bucks to get it working, and it is very stable, reliable, and sounds great.

Re: [expert] Internet Connection Sharing
In order to set up dhcp server, you need to download the dhcp package.
ftp://rpmfind.net/linux/Mandrake/updates/7.2/RPMS/dhcp-3.0b2pl9-3mdk.i586.rpm
That one should work.
Then, edit dhcpd.conf, here is mine
subnet 192.168.0.0 netmask 255.255.255.0 {
option routers 192.168.0.1;
option subnet-mask 255.255.255.0;
option domain-name heronet.2y.net;
option domain-name-servers 192.168.0.200;
range dynamic-bootp 192.168.0.10 192.168.0.199;
default-lease-time 21600;
max-lease-time 43200;
}
The option routers is the ip of the gateway, which is usually 192.168.0.1,
the domain-name is whatever you want it to be, which is probably the
hostname of your server. The domain-name-servers is the domain name
server that you want to use. I use a caching name server, so that is the
reason for a local net addy. I suggest a separate entry for each entry in
your /etc/resolv.conf file (each server has to have a line with a
semi-colon). This is not mandatory, if your client pc's are configured
with a dns, but it makes it easier to do it via dhcpd. The range is the
range of ip's you want to use. the times are in seconds, default should
be ok.
Then, restart, and add to chkconfig:
#service dhcpd restart
#chkconfig --add dhcpd
#chkconfig --level 2 dhcpd on
#chkconfig --level 3 dhcpd on
#chkconfig --level 4 dhcpd on
#chkconfig --level 5 dhcpd on
#chkconfig --list
Now, it will always be running, and it works very well.
Good luck, and let me know if you need more assistance.

Re: [expert] Internet Connection Sharing
I cannot remember exactly but when I set up my on a dial up machine, all I ran on the machine connected to the web was: iptables -t nat -I POSTROUTING -o ppp0 -s 192.168.0.2 -d 0.0.0.0/0 -j MASQUERADE The command 'route' will display your router info. Any packets not found to be destined for local interfaces will be directed to the Inet. And this set up the default route with masquerading. Using the network config tools (MDK8.0) I set the inet machine address a the default gateway on the other clients. This works fine for me. Hope this helps a little.

I wouldn't go so far as to say all the time. I have upgraded before without problem. The only issue with upgrading vs clean install I have come across is it is logrithmically slower to upgrade than to simply do a reinstall. It takes frickin' forever to upgrade. There is less pain involved with just reinstalling. If you setup your system right (with separate partitions for /usr/local and /home) then you can reinstall quicker than upgrading and not lose anything in the process.

Hi Pierre, Thanks for your response. I have other PCs running Win ME, Win2K, Win98, etc. With the same settings I configure Eudora and I can receive and send emails without problem. Right from the beginning when I install Mandrake 8.1 I encountered numerous problems. PS/2 mouse still could not be operated on PS/2 working on serial port instead. Telnet client command was found missing later and I have to RPM it. For such reasons I hesitate whether there is a problem on Mandrake 8.1 ISO Images downloaded from website (md5sum matching). I have no complaint on the same PC because it works fine on Mandrake 7.2, and RH7.1 B.R.

[expert] Arrrgh - Telnet Problems (Authentication?)
Greetings all, I'm having problems with telnet-client-krb5 (version 1.2.2-11mdk). The new telnet fails when attempting to connect to Solaris 7 servers. The version of telnet supplied with 7.2 works as expected, the one with 8.1 does not. It appears that this telnet is annoying the Solaris host by trying to auto login or authenticate... I'm trying to turn these things off, can't seem to do this. Does anybody know how to turn off authentication and / or auto-login? I've tried the various command line options, including -K and -X options. I've googled to try and find a solution, no relevant hits. This is probably an RTFM question, and I would be delighted to RTFM, if only I could find the appropriate FM This is very frustrating; I shouldn't have to start a science project to use telnet to foreign machines.

Re: [expert] Home directory permissions.
Mandrake 7.2 installs the apache executables somewhere and defaults to storing web pages and so forth in /home/httpd IIRC. (7.2 and later actually defaults to /var/www/, 7.1 and earlier use /home/httpd). If a user want to store web pages to be served in his own home directory, he has to do a number of things: * Modify the httpd.conf file (somewhere over in /etc, IIRC) to treat some directory in his home directory as what I'll call an htdocs directory. IIRC, he does this by setting an alias for the directory in the httpd.conf file. Nope--as long as the user creates a 'public_html' directory within his directory, he can have a website without modifying the httpd.conf file. The url would be http://somehost.com/~username/ . Aliases would be used only if you wanted the url to either be something like http://somehost.com/username/, or had other places that you were storing web documents (other than the document root). -- Michael Viron Registered Linux User #81978 Senior Systems Administration Consultant Web Spinners, University of West Florida Want to buy your Pack or Services from MandrakeSoft?

[expert] Docs on shared libraries
Does anybody know of some good documentation on shared libraries in Linux? This libpng issue I have with Mozilla and Galeon is driving me crazy, and I just want to resolve it. It seems like I should be able to rename the old (libpng2) library, then symlink the new (libpng3) library to the old name, and everything should be ok. But unfortunately, this is not the case. For whatever reason, programs compiled against the old version of libpng just can't use the new version, even though they should presumably expose the same APIs, with the same names, requiring the same arguments, and returning the same data types. It just doesn't make any sense to me, and I am hoping someone can point me in the right direction.

Subject: Re: [expert] Internet Connection Sharing
In order to set up dhcp server, you need to download the dhcp package.
ftp://rpmfind.net/linux/Mandrake/updates/7.2/RPMS/dhcp-3.0b2pl9-3mdk.i586.rp
m
That one should work.
Then, edit dhcpd.conf, here is mine
subnet 192.168.0.0 netmask 255.255.255.0 {
option routers 192.168.0.1;
option subnet-mask 255.255.255.0;
option domain-name heronet.2y.net;
option domain-name-servers 192.168.0.200;
range dynamic-bootp 192.168.0.10 192.168.0.199;
default-lease-time 21600;
max-lease-time 43200;
}
The option routers is the ip of the gateway, which is usually
192.168.0.1,
the domain-name is whatever you want it to be, which is probably the
hostname of your server. The domain-name-servers is the domain name
server that you want to use. I use a caching name server, so that is
the
reason for a local net addy. I suggest a separate entry for each entry
in
your /etc/resolv.conf file (each server has to have a line with a
semi-colon). This is not mandatory, if your client pc's are configured
with a dns, but it makes it easier to do it via dhcpd. The range is the
range of ip's you want to use. the times are in seconds, default should
be ok.
Then, restart, and add to chkconfig:
#service dhcpd restart
#chkconfig --add dhcpd
#chkconfig --level 2 dhcpd on
#chkconfig --level 3 dhcpd on
#chkconfig --level 4 dhcpd on
#chkconfig --level 5 dhcpd on
#chkconfig --list
Now, it will always be running, and it works very well.
Good luck, and let me know if you need more assistance.
