RE: [expert] samba and SWAT and webmin and MCC
strange, I haven't had any problems with xinetd.. perhaps you should remove and reinstall it. only two rpm commands necessary.. and it might fix it.. I use xinetd for pop3 (with only_from specified) and its never caused a problem, so give it a go. I don't actually like Swat or Webmin for configuring samba. but if you get the cooker samba, (I have been using samba 2.2.2-6mdk on mdk8.1 for ages now without problem) it does some cool stuff that 8.1 samba doesn't.. and its really easy to just read smb.conf it is so commented that just a quick read and minor config will have samba up and jumping in a jiffy.) Good stuff, I will never use swat or webmin for it again. rgds Frank. -Original Message- From: [EMAIL PROTECTED] [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED]]On Behalf Of Ken Nowack Sent: Tuesday, 1 January 2002 7:08 AM To: [EMAIL PROTECTED] Subject: Re: [expert] samba and SWAT and webmin and MCC Ok, now we're at least getting somewhere.

RE: [expert] help with urpmi please
Hi all, I read this one with interest.. I was having many problems with rpmdrake and MandrakeUpdate, So in my wisdom (read lack-thereof) I updated my mandrake 8.1 to the following: kernel 2.4.16-11 (with initscript and such.) urpmi-3.1-2mdk wget-1.7.1-3mdk rpm-4.0.3-0.34 with all dependencies filled. (no need to use force or nodeps.) ie rpmtools, curl, popt rpm-devel all were updated to fill dependencies. Now rpmdrake works, (ie it displays) but it won't read any of my sources and I can use it for nothing. Ditto with MandrakeUpdate, it works, but can't add souces or anything. Should I downgrade everything back again and try again? or is there a way to get the cooker tools to rebuild the old source lists to its latest methods? Driving me nuts just trying to get this thing to work, which is why I did all this in the first place. any thoughts would be much appreciated. (incidently, if I should downgrade everything back to standard 8.1, whats the rpm line I need to do this?

As best as I understand it now operates at its own descretion as to the fetching and listings of available pkgs this to correct a problem in the previous release with using systhesis only rather than hdlist. I am GUI man so I stick with rpmdrake and have used it only for ftp or cooker sources. My only attempt at a local source was from cd-rom and this failed with unable to read hdlist. It could very well be that rather than a procedure problem using urpmi that it is a problem in the build. I would post to cooker and hopefully Francois will respond.

Ken, Actually a hand edit isn't that bad it's well documented as you go through the doc. Most important change is to workgroup (all boxes must be the same workgroup Windows and Linux... to avoid a lot of hassles) Try one more thing... ESPECIALLY if your using Netscape with it's search turned on.

Hi i have a little prob ... =) Thing is: i just installed LM8.1 on a sony VAIO PCG505 notebook (small (1.7kg, neat i-link etc. but smal 266mhz, 32MB ram, 1 pcmcia slot for network AND cdrom ) wew. Now draknet doesnt detect the pcmcia network card (what do i know what brand it is ... it says... "netgear fa210" on the card) and linuxconf doest show anything in the network configs butbut it is detected by the pcmcia tools (or whatever) anyway it loads as module "pcnet_cs" at bootup or at pcmcia hotswap and i can ssh to my other local machines just OK and i have entered (in resolv.conf) my dns and everything ... also i have set the default gateway as it should etc.etc but still i cand see anything outside my own four walls. Now i know (from other machines running 8.1) that there is the question in draknet "what is supposed to be the internet interface" and "should i load internet at startup?" but since draknet doesnt know my card or atleast it doesnt show (in MDK8.0 it worked perfectly with draknet) i cant define internet interface etc. HELP BTW.

I've been using Evolution as my contact manager / email client / scheduler for quite some time now and found it to be quite stable. As some sort of proof: I was away from the this list and a few others for a few days without turning off delivery. After coming back and hitting "send and receive" I had __700__ messages (including your own). Evolution handled them smoothly and without a hitch. The only instablility I find is in the contact manager occasionally hiccuping and I'll have to restart the whole application. And also when I forget to delete the trash messages and end up with __8000__ in there. (It's better to expunge each folder individually). /curtis ><> BTW, evolution comes with a handy script to kill it called "killev". It may only be in the newer versions, but I haven't touched it in a long time...;) Do a urpmi evolution (on cooker) and try it out again. -- --**--**--** Current Linux kernel 2.4.13-12mdk uptime: 1 day 16 hours 26 minutes.

[expert] samba and SWAT and webmin and MCC
Hello again, Well, I had samba and swat both installed during the initial installation. After I got my network up and running I went to try the SWAT config tool to get samba running. It brings up a Konqueror window and gives the error "cannot connect to localhost port 901" Ok, so I figure maybe bad install. So I verify my packages, still no dice. I check for upgrades, samba has a newer version package. So I download the rpm and install it. Then I start the samba services. Try swat again. No dice. I figure maybe bastille is interfering. I shut down bastille and try again, no dice. Hmmm The next thing I think is maybe I should verify apache is working properly. So I test apache. I bring up a window https://127.0.0.1. Bingo apache welcome page. Try swat again. No dice. I figured maybe I should just go the webmin route to save me the hassle of figuring this issue out. I go to mandrakeuser.org docs. I pull up the doc's for https and webmin. I scan down a few lines and what does it say? It says to modify httpd.conf changing user and group to root. No way in heck I'm running it as root being the new admin that I am. So for fun I decide to try anyway, just to see. Edit the doc, restart httpd, failed. Apache doesn't want to let me run as root. So I figure webmin is out. So as a last ditch effort, I try the MCC. It at least has the basic config wizard. Maybe if I could get that far I could get swat working. The wizard gets to the second screen and reports that my network is not configured 'at all'. Now I'm completely confused. Not only is my network configured, not only is it currently working, but I even used the damn MCC to configure it (at first at least, the InteractiveBastille later). What the heck should I try next?

[expert] NIS Server
Hi All, Happy new year. Problem I am having is with NIS. I have never played with it before now. I am using MDK 8.0 and have currently 2 machines running this distro. I have to add a third. Now I want to add NIS to the server. I have installed the ypserv on the server, ypbind and tools on the clients. Edited the config files, but the makefile keeps falling over when trying to run 'clear' signal on RPC on the ypserv. Does this mean anything to anyone? Also from the client end, the ypbind fails to bind anything saying that the domain is not bound. I have looked at the howtos, read a thick linux book and I am still none the wiser. I am already running NFS so I know that portmapper is working fine. rpcinfo also reports that the ypserv/bind on the server/client are both bound. Can anyone shed any light on the situation or at least direct me to an clear 'text' for help? Many thamks. Dave. Want to buy your Pack or Services from MandrakeSoft?

Re: [expert] How can I shutdown a PC from telnet?
Many thanks for all your suggestions. I think I have somehow damaged the Linux installation beyond my ability to repair it and will have to reinstall it. I hate it when this happens. I did find one other clue - I get different logout menus on this PC and my server PC. Both are Mandrake 8.1 and both were installed with only the KDE gui. On this (working) version, when I click on the logout icon, I get a popup messagebox that says "End KDE session?" with a logout/halt/reboot radio button and OK & Cancel buttons. This PC always obeys, and will shutdown from this messagebox, a telnet session, and a remote vnc session. On the server PC (with my monitor, keyboard, and mouse connected) I get a messagebox that says "End KDE session?", but it has only the OK and Cancel buttons. If I click OK, several screen flashes later I get a welcome login screen which has a shutdown... button. Clicking the shutdown... button yields another messagebox which has the reboot/halt options. Selecting halt or reboot here results in a successful halt or reboot. A vnc session to this PC never sees the second login messagebox as the screen goes black after clicking OK to logout. A telnet session shutdown command (with every combination of -h, -r, -f) issues the broadcast, but the system continues running. I'm not sure what I did to make this difference in the logout messagebox -- I was did turn off some system services I didn't think I needed, and I did shut off the automatic logon. Even worse, after one of my brutal power downs of the running server, I can no longer telnet into the server. On top of that, with the monitor, keyboard, mouse attached, my normal logon ID seems to be hosed and I can no longer view most of the disk directories. Looking at the /root view, many of the branches like /etc, /usr, /home say "Locked Directory". If I log in as root, the directory structure appears normal to me, although a suspicious number of /etc configuration files were changed at 8:54 PM last night. And telnet is no longer listed in the "system services" as it is on my non-server PC. I guess I was too fast with the chmod, chown, and user configuration tools last night. I guess I will give it one more try and create a new user. If that doesn't do the trick I will reinstall Mandrake 8.1. Thanks for all your input. Roger _ Do You Yahoo!?

[expert] C++ Problems SOLVED
First let me thank every one that responded. Syed, ya hit it right on the head, I wasn't compiling before trying to run the file. I compiled using g++ as suggested and it works like a charm. I suppose in retrospect, I should have caught the problem because there was never any ".o" file and an IDE will usually have a runtme compiler built in. The curious thing here is that during the winter quarter last year I was taking a beginners C++ class and I could write the "Hello" thing and chmod +x it and run it. Used VI to write it, too ... Oh well, fun 'n games starting now.. Thanks all. -- Ken Thompson, North West Antique Autos Payette, Idaho Email: [EMAIL PROTECTED] http://www.nwaa.com Sales and brokering of antique autos and parts.

Tom and Dwain,
Same error message using each of the suggestions.
The code comes right out of Sams "Teach yourself C++ in 24hrs" and in
previous versions of MDK I've had it work.
I'm going back to trying to learn C++, had to quit studies the first time
around.

Are you certain you have an iostream file? Are any other standard
headers needed? The older gcc series added standard headers by default
with wild abandon, but no more. 2.96 is strict but nothing compared to 3.0.

Re: [expert] Gphoto2
Check the installation cds for a library with gphoto2 in it and install it and gtkam from the cds. I tried to do a complete install and neither of these were installed by the installer. Then run gtkam. I got my canon digital elph working this way. It doesn't seem to want to download video though.

in theory this will work, but not with mysql. mysql does not support
(yet) subselects (those in the brackets). you can do single selects for
journal_id and author_id, save them in some variables and put together
the final insert statement with those variables. i guess you use php. do
something like:
$insert_papers=
"INSERT INTO papers(title, journal_id, author_id, whatever)
values ('The Title',".$jounal_id.",".$author_id.",whatever)";
now use $insert_papers for you mysql select.
btw, there are better mailing lists for both mysql and php... ;)

RE: [expert] MySQL/SQL question
Hi Thomas,
You don't need to put your column or table names into the INSERT statement.
Just put the values in the same order as the columns.
So, if your papers table has the columns author_id and title, then type:
INSERT INTO papers VALUES(42, 'Mu Mesons and Quark Emissions');
Then, to select all papers with an author_id of 42, just type:
SELECT * FROM papers WHERE author_id = 42;
It looks like you're very close. Remember, anything in quotes is case
sensitive.
There is some good docs included with the Mandrake MySQL, I access them
through Webmin, but they're also on the MySQL website.

Sorry if that's obvious to some, I'm just starting with databases..
So, I read it's good to normalise databases and so I do, I have a table
for papers, one for author and one for journal, with, in paper, the id of
author and journal.
So far so good, but how do I enter my data ?? Supposing I have filled in
authors and journals, I now want to enter data for papers, is there a way
to do something like:
INSERT INTO papers(title, journal_id, author_id, whatever)
values ('The title',
select journal_id from journal where name='The journal',
select author_id from author where name='The author',
etc..);
Obviously the above doesn't work, or I wouldn't be writing this but is
there a way to build similar command (ie without going for script) ?

[expert] Have anybody successfully installed the Palm Emulator under 7.2
I have been unsuccessful at compiling the Palm Emulator source from
Palm under 7.2. I wondered if anybody has been successful in doing it
and could give me hints on where I go wrong.
I am currently trying to compile the source version 3.3, but I had
similar problems when I tried to compile the version 3.1 source. In
both cases configure complains that it cannot find FLTK.
I have checked that 7.2 comes with FLTK v. 1.0.9 which are later than
the 1.0.5 and 1.0.7 named in the Docs/_Building.txt accompanying the
emulator source. The library is installed with libfltk.{a,so} in
/usr/lib. In an attempt to solve problems, I have alsodownloaded and
build FLTK 1.0.11 with and without shared libraries; in both cases
with files installed in /usr/local/lib. I have
/usr/X11R6/lib
/usr/i486-linux-libc5/lib
/usr/local/lib
in my /etc/ld.so.conf and have run ldconfig after installing the
libraries.
Following the instructions in the source bundle, I run ./configure of
BuildUnix with
./configure --with-fltk=/usr/local/lib
When I do so it fails with the last two lines being
checking for 'int fl_height (void)' in -lfltk... no
configure: error: *** FLTK *must* be installed before running configure. ***
I have looked into the configure script and noticed that the test used
is
#line 3465 "configure"
#include "confdefs.h"
#include
#include
int main() {
fl_height()
; return 0;
}
I can successfully compile that file with the following command line
gcc -L /usr/local/lib test2.c++ -lfltk -L/usr/X11R6/lib -lX11 -o test2
provided that only libfltk.a and *not* libfltk.so is installed in
/usr/local/lib (I presume that the compiler otherwise picks up the
share library over the statically linked library). I am stuck at this
point, because I cannot figure what options configure use to compile
the test file; it is thus not clear how to approach the problem any
further.
I hope that somebody have successfully installed the software and can
tell me what to do next.
Thanks in advance
Best
Peter

How to set permissions depends from your hosting company. As an example in my web hosting company gives me one username for my mysql database who has all rights to it and only to it (and database name is also defined by them, which in my case is my username). Which means that I'm not able to define any permissions by using mysql own permission system. So you need to be very careful that you check everything what your users are sending to database (if they do). Happy New Year -- juhani --

Re: [expert] How can I shutdown a PC from telnet?
Roger, I don't know for sure exactly what is happening but I can give you some tips on how to find out where and why the shutdown command dies. First question is ... does reboot work? Second just type shutdown. If it's being found correctly in your path it should spit a Usage message back at you. If nothing comes back it's not in your path. Use su - (the dash helps you inheret the root users properties instead of login user) try again with shutdown. I've had boxes where for some reason peculieur to them you had to type the full path for a certain command. (oh and that box has 302 days uptime, woulda been longer but it moved from LA to Berkley). Then open a second telnet window. In one widow cd to /var/log and then tail -f messages. This will give you a realtime session with system messages. Type the shutdown -h now and see what spits back at you. This may give you and indication where it fails. If this still doesn't help try strace shutdown -h now (if you have the! s! trace rpm on the box) This will spit a lot of junk out but what will be most important are maybe the last ten lines. It will either exit normally with a 0 or it will exit/halt and by backing up slightly from the last line you should be able to see what it was trying to do when it halted.
