[expert] Konqueror won't start
Hi! I'm having the following problem: I seem to get KDE in a situation where it cannot start konqueror. I don't know what happens, but I figure (after running strace) thatit cannot access dcop. Removing .ICEauthority and .DCOPserver_magnum.swipnet.se .DCOPserver_magnum.swipnet.se_:0 And restarting kde mostly helps. I think the problem arises if I do su - another user xhost +localhost xterm or something Any ideas Best regards Erik Kaffehr -- Erik Kaffehr[EMAIL PROTECTED] alt.

Re: [expert] X lockup with audio CDs
Dear Nick, Though I don't actually know the solution to the problem you are having with KDE lockups, I will suggest not using a CD-RW drive to play audio CDs. The read/write heads on a CD-RW are much heavier than on a standard CD-ROM or DVD-ROM player because it needs a laser to burn CDs. Since the heads are a moving device, the extra weight causes everything to wear out quickly. The extra weight is also the reason why CD-RW devices are rated much slower for reading (typically 8X, as opposed to 50X for a CD-ROM). And of course, the burn lasers add to the cost of the device. So in other words, if you haven't already got a CD-ROM or DVD-ROM drive installed, you might consider getting one (personally, I'd go for the DVD - not too expensive nowadays).

[expert] NIS Domain Name and 8.1
Under mdk8.0 this was not a problem. But with 8.1 - both an upgrade and a fresh install - I am finding that the NIS domain name is set to the DNS domain name whenever the network is (re)started. Since they are different, this causes ypbind to fail. I have set the NISDOMAIN variable in /etc/sysconfig/network, and I have tried putting the necessary information into the /etc/yp.conf file. But nothing works. I can put a hack into the /etc/rc.d/init.d/ypbind script to set the domain name, but I'm not really happy with that as a solution. Is something broken? Is there something I am doing wrong, or is there something new in the configuration that I am not aware of? (Note: I am using DHCP clients on these machines, in case that influences anything.)

Re: [expert] Permanently adding special entries to Menus
You neglected to state which desktop you're using. If it's KDE: # cd ~/.kde/share # mkdir applnk That's what it should be in 7.2. I only used 8.0 for a few weeks before reverting to 7.2, but I remember I had this working in 8.0... You might have to make an applnk-mdk directory instead, but try applnk first -- you can always mv it to applnk-mdk if applnk doesn't work. Now, look at the directory structure /usr/share/applnk-mdk. Figure out where you want your menu to appear. Duplicate the menu structure in ./kde/share/applnk so it's exactly the same for whatever branch of the tree you decide to use. Put your *.desktop file into this directory. For example, to put a mozilla icon under Networking/WWW # cd ~/.kde/share # mkdir applnk # cd applnk # mkdir Networking # cd Networking # mkdir WWW # cd WWW # cp /usr/share/applnk/Networking/WWW/konqbrowser.desktop mozilla.desktop # vi mozilla.desktop # [make changes and save] voila! Results in the desktop K menu tree should be immediate, but if they're not, log out and log back in again. Doing it this way ensures your custom menu's stay where you want them... no matter how often you change RPM's. -Al Andersen On Sunday 18 November 2001 08:52, Timothy R.Butler wrote: > > Hi again everyone, > As you may remember from last week, I had been having some trouble with > KNewsTicker.

[expert] Netgear FA-311 and linux - anybody tried? Got working???? (fwd)
I've got the weirdest problem. A friend bought a netgear FA-311 ethernet card, supposedly works with linux. (Well, ok, it supposedly works with a certain version of Red Hat, which is at least one version of linux. We won't go any further, ok? ;-) So, I took their (netgear's) sources, managed to get them to compile and load under mandrake - I could not get things to work at all. So, I did a web search and found some network drivers that were supposed to work with the fa-311, supplied as a SRPM. So I built my own rpm from their src rpm, installed it, and things looked like they were working fine - until I actually hooked it up to my network at home. The short version: subject machine: Mandrake 7.2, with the afore-mentioned network drivers installed, P200, 64meg ram, etc. diagnostic machines: I think they are both mandrake 7.2 as well, but don't quote me on that ;-) My home network is 10.40.2.0 with a netmask of 255.255.254.0 I set up the fa-311 box with an address of 10.40.2.20, netmask 255.255.254.0, and tried to ping my machine 10.40.3.1, which is definately up and talking on the net. The transmit light on the fa-311 card flashes, as though it were transmitting packets. But, I don't get an answer. So, I go and do an arp -a on the two machines on my network that I know work, and I don't see the fa-311 machine. So, I try pinging the other way. The fa-311 does not reply. And the 2 machines don't have anything in their arp table either. Has anyone seen anything like this with the FA-311? Even more importantly, has anyone gotten it and fixed it??? thanks! rc Want to buy your Pack or Services from MandrakeSoft? Go to http://www.mandrakestore.com
[expert] Sony DSC USB Link - Mdk 8.1 Kernel 2.4.8-26
Hello, Just picked up a new toy, now how to use it? It is a Sony DSC-S50, with a USB link. I have a laptop with Mdk 8.1, and Kernel 2.4.8-26 loaded. I read some posts in the internet where the device was recognized by 8.1, under a scsi device, /dev/sda1 (something like that) However, my system yells about not being able to find a driver. Then I read that you had to patch the unusual_devices.h, but mine already had the correct entries. Anybody able to give me a brief walkthrough or a hint? I don't need a hand-holding, just a nudge. This is my first USB device to try on Linux. Thanks!! Ron = ^C quit :q exit ? help shit __ Do You Yahoo!? Find the one for you at Yahoo!

Re: [expert] everything loads, but no sound.
Yes. I verified mixer settings. I do have more information though... after booting the machine, when I load xmms, it hangs for a good while... and then closes automatically. The next time I load it... it works. I have sound. Everything seems normal. I have no idea why it hangs. KDE system sounds begin to work as well. Very strange.

Not sure why the distance has anything to do with it, but just for clarification why would you require a login to a proxy server for something like an SSH session? You're right though -- SSH cannot go through a proxy, since the encryption is only usable between the two end hosts. A proxy that might somehow re-encrypt that with a different key would likely break the connection. NAT is probably your best bet here, or creating site-to-site IPsec VPN tunnels. > OK I'll go one stage further in words you might understand > > > ITS BLOODY IMPOSSIBLE I highly doubt that. Your solution, whatever it winds up being, may have to be a bit creative because of your unusual requirements. Be that as it may, this won't take a cookie-cutter approach to solve.

[expert] Heads up... Netscape 4.79
I've being *trying* to use NS4.79; but have just reverted back to 4.78. NS4.79 is the worst release I've seen to date... it crashes constantly. It messes up your mail *.summary files and if bad enough, any attempt to run NS4.79 will crash before displaying the first window; the only way to find the problem is to strace it and correct/delete the file it's croaking on... In the last straw, it left this in my mail folders... -rw---1 pfortin pfortin 5439092 Nov 19 11:03 MandrakeExpert -rw-r--r--1 pfortin pfortin458752 Nov 19 11:08 .MandrakeExpert.summary -rw-r--r--1 pfortin pfortin442368 Nov 15 18:52 .MandrakeExpert.summary.

RE: [expert] Usb scanner problems 8.1; updating kde
I had a similar prob with 8.1 and my scsi scanner. Seemed due to devfs. I changed /etc/lilo.conf devfs=mount to devfs=nomount. Rebooted, let MDK refind the scanner via kudzu, then changed the lilo.conf back to devfs=mount and reran lilo again then Rebooted. All was fine -- still. Seems devfs isnt all it is cracked up to be.

I have configured without problems a usb scanner (Epson Perfection 1200 USB) using MDK 8.0 (mknod /dev/usb/usbscanner0 c 180 48; chmod 666 /dev/usb/usbscanner0, insmod usbcore, insmod usb-uhci, insmod scanner vendor=0x04b8 product=0x0104; modifying the /etc/sane.d/epson.conf file putting the last line: usb /dev/usb/usbscanner0) and it is runing fine from the laptop, but from the main computer runing 8.1 the scanner is not detected. After read some messages in the list, I am thinking this could be a problem with the use in 8.1 of devs instead of dev (this main computer has also a mandrake 8.0 installed and from this the scanner is accesible without problems. I have used also scanner-drake, the scanner is well detected and ¿configured?, but xsane don't detect it and stops. ¿What can I do to? Second question I have activated the scanner updating xsane, xsane-gimp and all the related dependencies in the laptop and the new look is splendid :-). I have heard about the kde 2.2 faster than the 2.1 releases, so I would like to update it in the laptop. I think that to do that the files coming with the Mandrake 8.1 cds could be enought, couldn't be? I don't know, perhaps I do need download the packages from any mandrake update url, do I? Anyway, what are the files I need to update? I suposse that the kde files and some libs; do you know where can I find the whole list of files to be updated? Will the libs updated give me problems with others packages? Thanks in advance for the help, yours sincerely Francisco Alcaraz Murcia (Spain) Want to buy your Pack or Services from MandrakeSoft?

[expert] Peculiar login problem
Hi, I run Mandrake7.1 with KDE as desktop environment and suddenly got the following problem. When I try to log on using the X grafical interface I enter my userid and password, I hear some disk activity, but a few seconds later the login screen appears again, without indicating an error. It is not possible to login with any ordinary user. I can however login with root from this login screen. It worked correctly untill a few days ago, and I did not make any modification to the system, nor installed new programs. When I boot with runlevel 3, normal character interface, I can login with both root and a normal user and all seem to work well. Somebody can give me a hint on how to solve this /Antoine Want to buy your Pack or Services from MandrakeSoft? Go to http://www.mandrakestore.com
[expert] X lockup with audio CDs
Hi, In LM8.1 w/standard KDE2.2.1: If I play an audio CD in my CD-RW drive with the KDE cd player (not tried other players), then I get a few messages in /var/log/messages saying something like "/dev/sr0 not ready please insert a disk" (?). After about three of these messages X locks up - the keyboard stops working and screen updates stop. The mouse still moves, but the cursor doesn't change when passing over window edges, etc. There is nothing else of interest in messages. The PC is still doing stuff. Slocate fires up not long after I login and keeps going happily AFAIK. My only recourse seems to be the "Big Red Botton" (TM). Removing the CD from the drive during the reboot fixes the problem, but is not a very good fix for me. BTW I am using the latest (1541?) Nvidia drivers for X.

Check for (and remove with "rpm -e" ) the following packages: ypbind yptools ypserv YP stands for yellow pages. It is a system of allowing universal logins. We use it at work, along with NFS, to allow users to be able to sit down at any workstation, log in with the same username/password, and get to their home directories. In YP, the system no longer uses /etc/passwd and /etc/shadow to look up a users password. There is a ypserver running on a networked server that all workstation computers are configured to use when verifying username/password combinations.

actually, I think they are still 8 chars, but I make long ones anyway,, also, most people don't add gibberish till the end of the password, which sort of ruins the purpose, I use gibberish all the way though.. you can download a password cracker and test your passwords if you are unsure of their security.. rgds Frank -Original Message- From: [EMAIL PROTECTED] [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED]] Sent: Monday, 19 November 2001 5:40 PM To: [EMAIL PROTECTED]; [EMAIL PROTECTED] Subject: RE: [expert] Webmin Are the password still 8 character significant for the crypt() function, or has Linux changed this?

RE: [expert] Webmin
When webmin is running, it is bound to port 1 since webmin uses its own 128bit certificate for encryption, its very safe, no passwords get passed in clear txt and its rather difficult to run a brute force password script on a web based admin program. if your passwords are up to the task, you will be fine.. (all my passwords are at least 11 characters long and contains small chars, CAPS chars, numbers4321 and symboles!@@#@!! Since I started using no non non encrypted services, started using long passwords for stuff.. (in fact, usernames that need to be there and have a log in, but don't log in as a person (ie having to type in a password), have passwords up to 50 characters long, I type them in a txt editor, usually they are complete giberish and cut and paste them into the passwd screen) I have never been compromised. so Webmin will fine if used hand in hand with a decent password policy.. rgds Frank -Original Message- From: [EMAIL PROTECTED] [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED]]On Behalf Of [EMAIL PROTECTED] Sent: Monday, 19 November 2001 5:08 PM To: [EMAIL PROTECTED] Subject: [expert] Webmin Hi All, How secure is webmin, I know that is uses a https server, but I need to administer a machine remotely.
