[expert] Cardbus scsi adapter
I am looking for a cardbus scsi card for use in my IBM X20 laptop running MDK 8.0. I know the Adaptec SlimSCSI 1480 Ultra scsi card works but ran across an Ultra Wide adapter - the Ratoc CB32U which is about the same price as the Adaptec. The Ratoc website (www.ratocsystems.com/) offers Linux drivers for this card and I was wondering if anyone had tried this card or had any comments? I had not heard of the company until I did this recent search. Many thanks GaryS HP200LX - The last true palmtop computer. Want to buy your Pack or Services from MandrakeSoft?

It means it doesnt matter what processor type you have. Normally a pacakge will be called xxx-mdk-i386 or xx-mdk-i586 and that means that the first one will work on a 386 or better, but to run the second one you need a 586 (pentium) or better.

[expert] rpmdrake
Hi, my rpmdrake is totally broken, somebody may fix some bugs. I removed all sources and tried to insert new ones. There the first bug occures. If you chose local type and insert /my/dir it will fail. If you chose /my/dir/, with a trailing slash it will proceed. If you try to use removable media with unmounted cdrom i get an error. If i first mount it i can proceed. Except that the change disk dialogs have boxes for unprintable characters. Ther is another bug in this dialog, missing documentation. What the hell is a relative path from two sources? What's it all good for? Does it need a path, a filename or maybe the location of an existing file? What about some useful defaults? With my first tries i had the CDs and cooker in my list i had a memory usage of 800MB. I left it open for some installation processes, installed some packages tried it installed others, and so on. This 800MB was with every thing else closed, i got short of swap spache. I think there is a memory hole somewhere. For me it's impossible to add any package because i can't add sources propperly. I get no error adding a new source but there are no packages displayed for installable packages. Maybe it's because i left this relative path with two sources blank. I tried the cooker version 1.4-6 no go. Is there a project which develops rpmdrake or who is responsible for rpmdrake? Haug Want to buy your Pack or Services from MandrakeSoft?

I have looked at SANE (www.sane.org), but there are no drivers for any Xerox systems listed.

Yes it is supported. Though it will not work correctly with version 8.1. My suggestion is to install 8.1, set it to not boot into X, then download the newest Xfree packages.

With my first tries i had the CDs and cooker in my list i had a memory usage of 800MB. I left it open for some installation processes, installed some packages tried it installed others, and so on. This 800MB was with every thing else closed, i got short of swap spache. I think there is a memory hole somewhere. For me it's impossible to add any package because i can't add sources propperly. I get no error adding a new source but there are no packages displayed for installable packages. Maybe it's because i left this relative path with two sources blank. I tried the cooker version 1.4-6 no go. Is there a project which develops rpmdrake or who is responsible for rpmdrake? Haug Want to buy your Pack or Services from MandrakeSoft?

Re: [expert] Works Fine Until I Shutdown 8.1
Ken Thompson wrote: Stack: c0334c5f 000a c0334860 0046 0032 bbb8 This looks like memory problems (Cache, system or video) There a couple of things you may want to try: a) turn off external cache in BIOS and see what happens while trying to reboot. If this fixes your problem the cache memory is bad and usually requires a MoBo replacement. b) Turn the external cache back on and turn off the internal cache (CPU) and again try the reboot process. If this fixes the problem you'll have to replace the CPU. c) change the video card temporarily and again try the reboot. If this fixes the problem, replace the video card. I just had the exact same problem and a video card replacement fixed it. HTH, I finally got around to trying another video card entirely, an ATI Rage Pro. Still get a trap on shutdown. Originally I thought the problem was external cache, but since the problem didn't happen on every shutdown, I was simply fooled by several successive good boots. Disabling cache turned KDE into a total slug. I also tried two other DIMM sticks, but no change there either. OS/2 eCS seems to be solid on this system. I'm not entirely sure about W98 or W2K, since I don't actually use them for anything important. On Mandrake, it was looking solid (not counting the shutdown trap) until I changed the video card. On one of the first two or three ATI boots, KDE locked the machine up solidly - no keyboard, no mouse. Reset button required to regain control. Next move is reinstall the Matrox, but after that I have no idea. I do get another segmentation fault on every boot (line 17 in rc.modules; maybe a null script variable? Don't know whether comment or blank lines are given line numbers). I have no idea what that is either, but boot doesn't stop. With the Matrox, everthing that needs to work seems fine. Then at shutdown the trap. Note from the original post /etc/rc6.d/S01reboot: line 1: 2813 Segmentation fault. Would knowing the content of 2813 be of any use to someone trying to help with this? What is broken? How do I fix it? At this point a hard reset is required.

[expert] How I got my USB card reader to work!
I have a PNY Smart Media reader that I purchased to read the Smart Media cards I use with my Olympus D460L digital camera. Like everyone else on the lists, I was unable to get it to work successfully with Linux (worked fine under Win98). But, tonight I got it to work! All I did was add the following line to my fstab: /dev/sda1 /mnt/smedia msdos user (without the quotes, of course). The best that I can figure is that the msdos file system type is different from the vfat and that is why auto and vfat failed. I came up with this by looking at the properties of the reader under Windows and it showed the card was written to with 16bit MS-DOS. So, I thought I'd try it under Windows and it worked! My reader is listed under disks under Hard Drake as a SCSI on sda and the card is correctly identified as 32MB. I don't know if this will work for anyone else, but I post it hoping it will Joe Want to buy your Pack or Services from MandrakeSoft? Go to http://www.mandrakestore.com
Re: [expert] MP3 Players on USB interfaces
Oh, no. It's quite speedy compared to the drudgery of writing CDRs...no comparison. But when you see rioload's command line finish and the Rio's still processing, seconds can drag out. A good script that could accommodate the time lag and let you walk away with confidence would be a serious boon. Rio (I keep calling it that; it's actually SonicBlue now) has resisted the relentless pressure from RIAA since day one. Last time I checked (which would be when I bought mine) they were the only major digital music player manufacturer that refused to go after the open source reverse engineers. Something to think about when you're weighing the bang-for-buck-with-philosophy decision. Mike Ric Tibbetts wrote: Ah! Thanks. Somehow, I'd gotten the idea that writing to them was very slow.

There is no disk to which they can save files changes. My installation at home gets a Dynamic IP from my DSL provider, and dishes out Private IP's (192.168.x.x) on the inside. Once I set that up early last year, the only maintenance has been a couple reboots due to power interruptions. A second reset is usually required because my router comes back up quicker than my DSL service. I have tested this configuration against several security sites, and come out looking pretty darn good! Ken Nathan A. Smith wrote: Hi, I have a couple of questions for you mandrake experts. I have a home network setup with a Linux box (using Mandrake 8.0) as the server/gateway. Due to the change with ATT I had to install dhcp (client) on the server to get things working. This broke a couple of things I had setup -- specifically, Iptable/firewall settings. So I would now like to fix server. The things I need to correct are: 1) I would like to move the all the computers from static ip address to dhcp. This would mean that the server would need to be both a client (on the internet side) and a server (for the home network). I want to do this so when the dns servers should change all the systems will update automatically. Is this possible? And if so where do I find info on how to do it? 2) Redo the iptable rules so that it does ipforwarding, allow access into/out off the gnutella network (I use gnut) and closes all unnessary ports (I am not running a webserver or anything like that) The network has 2 computers on it. One is a win98/linux box and the other is a Win98 box. Thanks in advance.
