RE: [expert] Re: Mail Delivery Status Notification
I think a number of email scanners object to the method Mandrake use to attach their message. You can see by the bottom of this that Anomy does so for me, so did did the windoze based scanner system at one of my employers. Must give some people a fright tho when they see a virus warning message for Mandrake emails. One day I will get fed up enuugh with it to write a script and remove it, or maybe Mandrake will see that its bad publicity to modify emails this way and attach their message as a signature or similar, because as it is (using evolution), I dont get to see the message, just a BIG warning about it!!! It also stuffs up email clients as EVERY Mandrake message shows as having an attachment, so I cant just scan the mailbox looking for attachments.

Re: [expert] Home directory permissions.
Oops, maybe I'm not as sure as I thought -- I did have to add some aliases and scriptaliases to httpd.conf (which I did sort of blindly (without understanding)) -- it looks like those did point to directories below /home/httpd, so I probably did move the TWiki content to /home/httpd. Sorry for the misdirection! Randy Kramer Randy Kramer wrote: Quintin Holmberg wrote: Yeah ... they moved it on you ... look in /var/www/html Quintin, Interesting, you appear to be right! Actually, I'm sure you are right, it's just that I am running a TWiki using the Apache server, and all the content for the TWiki is stored under /home/httpd. Must be a soft link defined somewhere, or an alias in the httpd.conf file, but I'm quite certain neither I nor TWiki put it there. Someday I'll probably dig deep enough to know for sure. Thanks!

I've cut unimportant stuff out. - Forwarded message from David NetHunter Tabachnikov [EMAIL PROTECTED] - The reason is, that the corrent GTK+ code has started even before GNOME, and it's very messed up, and mixed, (because many things were implemented differently, that were later deprecated by GNOME, etc), so me and Jeremy agreed a while ago, that the only solution is to rewrite the GUI code. And, we'll have to rewrite the settings dialog anyway, since we want a command-center-style prefs dialog. Since a while ago (before I had CVS access) I ported part of GnomeICU to libglade, and it made the application much more responsive, and compact, and the code much nicer and easier to read, I guessed that would be the best choice for rewritting the GUI. But I guess I could agree it's more of a post-1.0 thing. GNet - there aren't many things in common between ICQv5 and earlier, and ICQv7. They are 2 totally different protocols. So to support it, the whole networking layer has to be rewritten. After seeing a number of other GNet based applications, I was rather impressed by this little library, and it seems like it can speed development by far, and make the networking layer more robust. Of course, I could be wrong on all of this. For the V7 port, I was gonna try to start working on it this weekend. As I haven't seen David's work, actually, I was gonna start writing it from the specs and the source of other free clients. We can probably get a good head start by taking some code from AIM for the base stuff (I dont know how much we can copy directly, havent looked at it yet...). - End forwarded message - Want to buy your Pack or Services from MandrakeSoft?

Well- I was already interested in switching to ext3, and I thought it would help me to solve that problem. I converted the fs to ext3, and added a ramdisk to load the ext3 module at boot... which brings in another oddity, I didnt manage to re-compile the modules of Mandrake kernel. But I guess I should write a third e-mail to deal with that... But the problem also happened with ext3. when I forced the check, everything would work fine, but the check gave me no error msgs. It might be some hardware problem; I have an A7V133 Asus board, so it might be a symptom of one the infamous VIA bugs. But these things never happened with LM8.0. I also expected fsck to correct the problem the first time it appeared... Any help on how to correct this will be greatly apprecciated...

[expert] Some oddities with the kernel-source rpm
Hi all. I've found at least one bug and some weird things going on in LM 8.1 related to the kernel-source package. Ok, all this popped out when I was discussing how to install a lucent win(lin?)modem in LM 8.1. I don't own such a modem myself, but I downloaded the driver source and noticed that it compiled finely in my system. After some lengthy discussions, it turned out that the drivers wouldn't compile on other sys because they were lacking the kernel-sources. The weird thing is that my friend, which reported the error, was SURE he marked the development option at install, since he is a C++ programmer (and he reinstalled it a couple of times... a dozen he actually claims [:-)] ). And yet Mandrake didn't istall it. After some more heated discussion, it turns out that when the recommended installation is used, the kernel-source package is NOT installed. It installs fine when one uses the expert install. I don't know if that is a bug or a planned feature; in the latter case, I don't think it should be, since the sources are obviously needed if you plan to do any development, and then even non-programmers newbies will need it if they have the so-commom softmodems. Now for the bug... I got mostly upset with my friend because he claimed that SoftwareManager (rpmdrake) wouldn't list the kernel-source rpm and he had to install it using rpm in the console (and filling in all dependencies manually). I made he double-check his settings... then, when I myself uninstalled the kernel-source and looked for it again- it wasn't there. The kernel-source rpm IS NOT listed as an installable package. You may make the experience yourselves. While it may not be difficult to install it via console- a newbie will most certainly be confused. I hope that this bug in rpmdrake will be patched. Well that's it for this mail... if someone reply to this, please include a cc to my email as well as the list's.

Re: [expert] SB Live Synth?
Yeah, unfortunately I stumbled upon the Midi configuration issue while poking around in the newer ALSA and Kernel sources. I noticed that there is full support for the Midi Synth in the later kernels, but that Mandrake did not seem to configure things properly by default. After much trial and error I first saw the midi devices appear in KDE, then I tried to start cleanly and get back to where I saw them again. This led to the terse doc I put up. Anyway my /etc/modules.conf file looks like this Thanks; I'll dig into some more later tonight. Make sure I have all these alias, etc. Appreciate the help, Jose. /etc/rc.d/init.d/sound uses the auxmix settings in /etc/.auxmixrc created by saving the AUXMIX mixer settings.

Re: [expert] Licq and the new ICQ protocol
Ever since the new ICQ version came out with its new protocol licq has gone totally unreliable and flaky. Does anyone know of an ICQ clone that is compatible with the new protocol? Yes, give Gaim a try. Gaim has supported ICQ for a very long time, but now things are getting a bit more interesting - apparently AOL's new ICQ v7 protocol is based on AIM's OSCAR protocol. So, when you setup Gaim, just select the OSCAR protocol (rather than ICQ), just like you would when setting up an AIM account. BTW, Gaim v.48 which was just released brings support for offline messaging on ICQ/OSCAR, so you may want to grab a copy of that. Best, Tim -- Timothy R.

Re: [expert] Cooker?
I had the same problem last week. So I posted the question and this is the reply I recieved. I did allow me to add cooker mirror sites. But it doesn't seem to go out and populate the list of applications with the updates.: -- If the problem is that you are unable to add new sites to the list of RPM sources, then you may need to upgrade rpmdrake to a newer version. rpmdrake is the graphical frontend to urpmi, and it's the program that is opened up when you click on Software Manager. I'm assuming that you are running Mandrake 8.1 because this was a common problem. Installing rpmdrake-1.3-106mdk.i586.rpm from http://www.rpmfind.net should fix this. I haven't been able to upgrade to any higher version of rpmdrake on my system, however, because of all of the high level dependencies.

After the fsck, everything would ran fine. I suspect that my fs wasn't being unmounted the right way, since it looked like it would shutdown too quickly before these things ocurred. Well- I was already interested in switching to ext3, and I thought it would help me to solve that problem. I converted the fs to ext3, and added a ramdisk to load the ext3 module at boot... which brings in another oddity, I didnt manage to re-compile the modules of Mandrake kernel. But I guess I should write a third e-mail to deal with that... But the problem also happened with ext3. when I forced the check, everything would work fine, but the check gave me no error msgs. It might be some hardware problem; I have an A7V133 Asus board, so it might be a symptom of one the infamous VIA bugs. But these things never happened with LM8.0. I also expected fsck to correct the problem the first time it appeared... Any help on how to correct this will be greatly apprecciated... Please should someone reply to this also

Re: [expert] Some oddities with the kernel-source rpm

[...] Now for the bug... I got mostly upset with my friend because he claimed that SoftwareManager (rpmdrake) wouldn't list the kernel-source rpm and he had to install it using rpm in the console (and filling in all dependencies manually). I made he double-check his settings... then, when I myself uninstalled the kernel-source and looked for it again- it wasn't there. The kernel-source rpm IS NOT listed as an installable package. You may make the experience yourselves. While it may not be difficult to install it via console- a newbie will most certainly be confused. I hope that this bug in rpmdrake will be patched. Well that's it for this mail... if someone reply to this, please include a cc to my email as well as the list's. This is not a bug. This is there for a reason. Nothing related to the kernel is installed via rpmdrake... too many users have in the past decided it was a good idea to upgrade their kernel in rpmdrake and had hosed systems due to a few inattentions to detail: examining lilo.conf, generatint initrd images if required, etc. This also wiped out their old/working kernel. Because of that rpmdrake was fixed so that it did nothing with the kernels. I sincerely doubt that newbies will be using kernel-source package; if they do, they will be following instructions on how to compile their source drivers for their [wl]inmodems or whatever. If they can follow those instructions, it should be a piece of cake for them to use rpm -ivh kernel-source* which is much more simplistic than compiling a driver from source. In other words, this bug will likely not be fixed anytime soon. -- [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.

I want to use the same server that is already running Samba and I would just like to add whatever I need to that server. Does that make sense? You need to run netatalk, you can find Mandrake rpms at http://netatalk.sourceforge.net/ You can run on the same server that you are running Samba on (I do it that way) As a side bonus, if you have a printer on a window machine, and it is shared via windows and it is set up to allow the linux machine to print to it, you can also see if from the Apples. Awesome! Thanks all for the answers - I'm up and running and it was relativly easy (after a couple beers ;-) ) I do have one problem though; I'm not really an apple / mac guy. I've only recently aquired a used imac and getting it networked to the rest of my resources was my mission (now accomplished). I'm still unfamiliar with the ins and outs of the mac however, and while I can get drivers, software, etc right from Epson for my model 860 inkjet and it will print beautifully as long as I'm connected to the usb port on the mac; if I print throught the network, it seems the only drivers available are the generic laserwriter drivers. My server is setup to use CUPS and I can print from Win2k through Samba with my Windows drivers and I get perfect prints - is there a way to setup the iMac to do the same thing? I would like to be able to control the print quality the same as I can when printing from linux or windows clients to my server. Do I set options in my papd.conf file and then just always use those settings? Here's my working papd.conf: Epson860:\ :pr=/usr/bin/lpr -PEpson860:\ :pd=/etc/cups/ppd/Epson860.ppd: I assume that the last line is the actual driver that I'm using, but on the mac I've selected 'laserwriter8' from my chooser and it also prompts me for a driver (for which I selected 'generic').
