More correctly, you can see the line, followed immediately by your bash prompt, until you type the next character. At that point bash erases the line and reprints your prompt along the character you just typed. At least that's the behavior on my machine. A really *ugly* work-around is to embed a newline at the beginning of your prompt string by using \n. It's ugly because under normal circumstances you get an extra empty line between prompts or between the last line of output and your prompt. /Pen Want to buy your Pack or Services from MandrakeSoft?

[expert] HP Scanjet 3200C parallel scanner
Hi all I've got a HP Scanjet 3200C parallel scanner which won't work on my XP box, so I was wondering whether I could get it to work on my LM 8.1 server? I have absolutely no experience with scanners and linux, any help on getting a parallel scanner to work would be appreciated. Also, I run my hp6l laserjet printer on my linux box from the parallel port... would this be a problem if I ran the scanner off the same port too (at the same time with the printer coming off the scanner if you see what i mean)?

[expert] how to fix damaged tar(.bz2) files
hi out there,
for some reasons I had to reformat my current harddrive and thus needed
to backup some directories, most importantly the home-directories of
course:
% tar cjf foo.tar.bz2 /home/foo_user
after reformatting my harddrive everything else unpacked nicely - except
my backups for the home-directories. Here is what I get when I try to
restore them:
--CUT--
% tar xjf foo.tar.bz2
bzip2: Data integrity error when decompressing.
Input file = (stdin), output file = (stdout)
It is possible that the compressed file(s) have become corrupted.
You can use the -tvv option to test integrity of such files.
You can use the `bzip2recover' program to *attempt* to recover
data from undamaged sections of corrupted files.
tar: 56 garbage bytes ignored at end of archive
tar: Unexpected EOF in archive
tar: Unexpected EOF in archive
tar: Error is not recoverable: exiting now
--CUT--
as mentioned, I tried the bzip2recover binary which left me with more
than 300 individual, small tar.bz2-files. Only ONE of it is obviously
damaged, the other ones expand without problems.
Anyway, after playing around a bit I was able to reassemble a tar file
containg even what came out of the damaged small tar.bz2 file, but
extracting it ends like this:
--CUT--
% tar xf foo.tar
tar: Skipping to next header
tar: Archive contains obsolescent base-64 headers
tar: Archive contains `\004\201{' where numeric off_t value expected
tar: : Cannot open: No such file or directory
tar: Skipping to next header
tar: Error exit delayed from previous errors
--CUT--
so in the end I have a nice foo.tar.bz2 backup file of about 300MB and
am not able to gain access to most of the files contained because one,
small single part of about 1MB was for reasons unknown not compressed
correctly ...
virtually **any** help would be appreciated, maybe somebody can point me
to a bzip2 or tar-forum where I can post this question as well.
please note that I have posted exactly the same question on
http://www.mandrakeuser.org/mub/viewtopic.php?topic=4891forum=77, but
unfortunately nobody could solve the riddle so far, thats why I try it
on this mailing-list as well.
BTW: what is the relation/difference/scope of mandrakeuser.org vs. the
mailing lists?

Re: [expert] redhat vs mandrake
This subject is like the Energizer Bunny... It just keeps going, and going, and... LOL I did a similar thing a couple of weeks ago. I came from RedHat land a whileback. Ran it for years.I switched to Mandrake about mid 2001, when Redhat just got flakey, and Mandrake was showing such great promise. A couple weeks ago, I got curious about how RH 7.2 was doing, so I loaded it up. when I did, I loaded it without Gnome, and then loaded Ximian Gnome instead. That part all ran fine, as did KDE. The wide variation in installation stability is interesting. How some parts are stable for some, and not for others. :) For me the breaking factor was the printing. Mandrake uses CUPS which supports my printer. RH doesn't, and I couldn't get my printer to work. I also thought that their installer came up short, not having much of what's included in Mandrakes installer. All in all, I'm much happier with Mandrake. :) As to Evolution. I thought the 1.0 upgrade was a piece of cake. You can get all the mdk.rpms from the cooker site. I just upgraded the following packages: evolution-1.0-2mdk.i586.rpm evolution-devel-1.0-2mdk.i586.rpm GConf-1.0.7-1mdk.i586.rpm gtkhtml-1.0.0-1mdk.i586.rpm libdb3.3-3.3.11-5mdk.i586.rpm libgal18-0.18.1-1mdk.i586.rpm libGConf1-1.0.7-1mdk.i586.rpm libgtkhtml20-1.0.0-1mdk.i586.rpm The upgrade took only a few minutes. Remember to install these with rpm -Uvh. Also: I was on the gnome site last night, and Evolution 1.0.1 is out. Many bug fixes! It's worth looking at. I expect we'll see it on the cooker site soon.

Hope this helps! ;-) -- /\ DarkLord \/ Want to buy your Pack or Services from MandrakeSoft? Go to http://www.mandrakestore.com

RE: Re: [expert] redhat vs mandrake
I haver also tried RedHat 7.2 and it is more a system for office than home. Install the net, mail and so one is possible, but not as easy as Mandrake. Tv card could be installed , but using scripts and command line, as in Mandrake 7.2. About compiling with mandrake, the key is install the appropriate libs; I have compiled lots of packages; sometimes the particularities of the directory systems, that still differs from one to other distribution; is becose those problems that an standarization of the files and directories structure should be very insteresting for the success of linux. To to that I made a recommended installation but during it I choose selection of packages, installing the gcc compiler and the most used libs. For specifical packages compilation I had to look into the configure file or ask for help at the author of the package.

Re: [expert] Gnome Desktop Icons
Yes, that helps with that error mesage (I'd tried this already). But looking at the other entries in .gnome-desktop, none of them have that, so it indicates a different problem. It means that there is something else required that I'm not seeing. Also, there are other error messages with other applications. The stderr message was particular to Netscape. I can't believe that NO ONE on this list has figured out how to correctly install these icons?!? It's time to hammer on Gnome. It shouldn't be this difficult! (huh oh.. I'm getting on a rampage!) The simple answer would be to just use KDE, or a one of the otherWms that actually work right. But I can't resist a challenge, when I find something that looks broke! :) Ric Bryan B Whitehead wrote: try executing it this way: /usr/bin/netscape /dev/null 21 This will redirect all output to /dev/null.

Hi, I guess that there are many people having no problem with jdk but I have, that is strange; Any way, here is what I did, I got a machine running debian woody and install jdk1.3.1_01 in /usr/local; I make a tar.bz2 of the directory and extract it to /usr/local in the mandrake machine. Insall mozilla plugin it works, but konqueror not (as konqueror use the command java I thought). In the Mandrake machine, I can not run any Java application; like Limewire17, Unicodeconverter ..; Limewire complain something about Illegal Instruction ... and then NoClassdef found..; In Unicoder converter program, it says: Internal Error ; then pls check CLASSPATH ...; If requested I will repeat this and copy the exact text (I can not do now, it is another machine) I tried to set export CLASSPATH=/usr/local/jdk1.3.1_01/lib but nothing Come back to the debian machine, no problem, even before running Limewire I try echo $CLASSPATH and found it is not set. But run all (Limewire, Unicode converter ...) is just fine. Please help. what should I do? I even try ulimit -s 1024 ; (no no I forgot the exact number but the number I copy from sun site that says the bug in newer glibc may cause the problem, I doubt this is the case as it works in woody with new libc as well) but it wont work too.

Re: [expert] Java Virtual Machine problem
I was having the same problems up until about an hour ago. Here's is what I just did. create a symbolic link to matches your java version /usr/bin/java - /usr/java/jre1.3.1_02/bin/.java_wrapper modify the /usr/java/jre1.3.1_02/bin/.java_wrapper so that PATH=/usr/java/jre1.3.1_02/bin:$PATH erase the entries that may be listed under the path that should square you away on that part. Next, your java virtual machine is probably screwed up too. So go to java.sun.com and download the latest 1.3xx SDK binary chmod +x the .bin file ./*.bin rpm -ivh j2sdk-1_3_xxx-linux-i386.rpm Java should work fine then.. and enjoy Limewire.

Re: [expert] [Postfix] Undelivered Mail Returned to Sender (help)
How do you configure your e-mail client? See SMTP server. Is it filled with your ISP's SMTP server or your localhost? You have to turn it to your ISP's SMTP server, not your localhost.

Re: [expert] redhat vs mandrake

I would like to do that to my current machine. (As I sit here waiting for a kernel recompile to finish.) I cannot because i have 60 gigs of crap that I would need to back up first before I could reinstall. I do not have that much back up media. It also takes time. (More for some because you have to reconfigure everything as well.) It is not easy to switch from a well entrenched install. (Microsoft's advice to just reinstall the OS to the contrary.) bascule The only use I get from RedHat is that the compiler seems to work when I want to install and run wxGTKwindows libraries, and audacity audio editing software, everything else in RedHat is broken, but on my RedHat it is KDE's Dcopserver that I cannot seem to fix, I can't even log into kde session, I have to use gnome, can't even run any kde apps!

Re: [expert] Java Virtual Machine problem
Thanks the problem turns out to be rather stupid :-) but I did not find it out, then reading your hint, create a symbolic link to matches your java version /usr/bin/java - /usr/java/jre1.3.1_02/bin/.java_wrapper /usr/bin/java exists and it is a wrapper to run kaffe in Mandrake, not my jdk, that is why, I just delete this and make the symlink to my jdk modify the /usr/java/jre1.3.1_02/bin/.java_wrapper so that PATH=/usr/java/jre1.3.1_02/bin:$PATH I even dont have to do that it works erase the entries that may be listed under the path Registered Linux User Number 254358 = S.KIEU http://my.yahoo.com.au - My Yahoo! - It's My Yahoo!

[expert] audacity
I downloaded audacity-0.97-3mdk.i586.rpm from the cooker and the latest stable wxGTKwindows tarball. wx... compiles OK and make install seems fine, but rpm still can't find the library and gives me: # rpm -ivh audacity-0.97-3mdk.i586.rpm error: failed dependencies: libwx_gtk-2.2.so.6 is needed by audacity-0.97-3mdk The make install of libwx created some links which look like what rpm is looking for. I ran ldconfig after, but it also suggests I may need to modify an environment variable which doesn't seems to exist here: LD_LIBRARY_PATH (or equivalent). Seems to me I'm missing something simple. Anyone care to enlighten me? thanks Brian On Mon, 2002-01-14 at 06:20, bascule wrote: out of curiosity, why not audacity on mandrake? i use 0.97-3mdk occasionaly, it seems to work bascule The only use I get from RedHat is that the compiler seems to work when I want to install and run wxGTKwindows libraries, and audacity audio editing software, everything else in RedHat is broken, but on my RedHat it is KDE's Dcopserver that I cannot seem to fix, I can't even log into kde session, I have to use gnome, can't even run any kde apps!
