[expert] Mandrake confused with 2 cd roms
Hi all, I am new to Mandrake although not new to Linux. Using software manager, Mandrake does not ask for the correct cd when needed, it just says the rpm or tgz cannot be found. I have 2 cd rom drives, one is a sony burner and the other a pioneer DVD player. I have installed twice and both times have had the same problem. When i install the os, it is off the sony drive (Master) and all goes well. After the os is running, whenever i go i\to install another program, the dvd drive opens, requestng the cd not the sony drive. Normally this would not be a problem but my dvd drive is half dead and only reads and plays dvds. if i delete the software sources and add them again from the correct drive, it then doesnt automount and i have to manually mount and umount the drive to get the sources acknowledged or use the cdrom at all and even then Mandrake doesnt ask for the correct cd, it still errors. thanks for listening, all hints appreciated :) -Matt --- Core Networks BH:+61 3 97506642 AH: 0407836506 Computer Sales Service Network Installations Service Consolidating Internet access company wide, reduces costs! ask us how!!

Re: [expert] Japanese input in KDE
How badly do you need Japanese? Does it all have to be japanese, or do you just need to write the occasional japanese document? I gave up trying to get Mandrake to do all Japanese - but didn't try that hard, because I don't need menus in Japanese, I just need to occasionally read and write some email or a letter in Japanese. My solution to this was to switch to emacs. emacs can input / read / save Japanese just fine and with LaTeX and the CJK package, creating and printing documents is not a problem. Email can be done with emacs and gnus. If you need more than that - ie a completely japanese-language system, I am afraid I cannot help much. I had most of the same problems you are having. Red Hat makes a japanese version, but it isn't as good as mandrake. IMHO, Mandrake should consider a real Japanese version - they are much better than Red Hat on the desktop and Asia isn't nearly as entralled with MS as the States are. I could probably get my office to try Mandrake if it was in Japanese. -- Chris Spackman gpg: 9B6B 860E 7C06 787F 366F 5D3E 7152 DCB2 FC51 51B9 Want to buy your Pack or Services from MandrakeSoft?

Re: [expert] (Way OT) Quake 3
The version i have - got it back when it first came out, also in the tin box - has much more than just deathmatch. The opening screen, after the movie, has single player, multiplayer, and a few other options. In both single player and multiplayer, you have the option to create a game (it might be called `skirmish' in the single player menu). When you create a game, you choose the game type - click on where it says (iirc) `deathmatch' and you can cycle through the other game types. There should be at least team deathmatch and capture the flag.

Re: [expert] (Way OT) Quake 3
I've only ever heard of Quake III: Arena, which is deathmatch only, IIRC. Sorry... You can send them MY way! I loved deathmatch, probably more than the game itself. Ric Tibbetts ric@chadera.To: mandrake expert [EMAIL PROTECTED] net cc: Sent by: Subject: [expert] (Way OT) Quake 3 [EMAIL PROTECTED] et 01/16/2002 12:18 AM Please respond to expert Ok gang, this is WAY off topic. :) Somebody convince me about something: The Story: The other day, I was in a local half price books, and saw a small stack of Quake 3. Linux Edition on the shelf. All packaged up, and in nifty silver metal boxes (cool box by the way! Probably cost more to make than the contents!). The best part: It was only $14.98 for a real, full factory box! Being a vereran of Doom, Quake, and Quake II, I couldn't resist it for that price, and grabbed one. On the drive home, I was beset with images of long the dark corridors, and passageways, that made up previous Quake episodes. All the challenges along the way to the final objects: Beat they finaly warrior that the Strogg had to offer. The path along the way was littered with challenges, and puzzles to work out. When I got home, I spent a couple of hours futzing with my box, and with glx, and libGL, etc., trying to get that to function at a frame rate high enough to make Quake III worth playing (a challenge on this old box!). But after some hours of that, and finally building the utah version, Quake III finally bloomed into life. And there I was presented with: A death match. And that seems to be it. The online death matches were not my favorite part of Quake. I liked the story line, and the whole challenge. Not just running around a couple of rooms, shooting pointlessly at anything that moves. Quake III looks like shelf-ware to me. Unless I've missed something very profound in the setup. So: Could one of you Quake III esperts please tell me: What did I miss? Is that all there is to it now? Did Id really whimp out that badly, that they have dumped the story line, and turned the whole thing into just a death match? Please tell me I'm wrong! So could somebody convince me of just what all the noise about Quake III was all about? If that is all there is to it, this one is going back. Even at a mere $14.98, that's too much to pay for a cute metal box. I guess the good news for any of you with ATI Rage Pros: Quake III will work on it, but only with some mods to existing libraries. :) Ok... I now return you to your regular topics.

He sounded willing to implement at least one of them (but perhaps not the way I would have preferred). I'm hoping we'll see something in kde3 (something might already be there -- I'm not ususally successful loading new software, so I usually wait until a new distro includes it). The suggestion he seemed most willing to implement was along the lines of being able to choose when you wanted text to be sent to the klipper buffer. I was thinking of by requiring ctrlc or ctrlx, he seemed to prefer providing an on/off switch of some sort. My other suggestions involved assigning keyboard macros to the strings in the buffer, so that, for example you could paste the string in the first buffer with something like ctrlalt1, the second buffer with ctrlalt2, and so on. (I didn't specify which shortcut keys to use, ideally it would be configurable.) Finally, IIRC, I suggested that he give us a means to create permanent buffers of text with shortcut keys assigned. (I suggested up to 100 or more.) If you think these ideas are worthwhile, you might wish to reinforce my request. (I did not put it in bugzilla because bugzilla expects you to be using one of the more recent versions of KDE (and Klipper), and I was (am still) using Mandrake 7.2 (with the MandrakeFreq update of around 20010316).

[expert] 'esd' makes horrible noises...
Hi all, I have an oldish Dell Pentium II machine with onboard Crystal CS4232 audio and a standard installation of Mandrake 8.1. The audio works just fine using the standard OSS drivers and software like 'mpg123' or 'xmms'. Just for kicks I thought I'd try using 'esd', since I noticed 'xmms' had an 'esd' output plugin. So I ran up 'esd -tcp' (Unix socket thing didn't work for me at all) and pointed 'xmms' at it. Unfortunately all it will do (apart from the very nice test tones at startup) is make horrible noises at me that I find difficult to explain. Almost like it was trying to play mangled binary garbage.

When I booted linux and Xhad started all of the 128 Ram was used. So It had to swap a lot when I worked on Linux. Today I upgraded my ram to a total of 384MB ram and a swap of 360 MB. At first it looked like Mandrake was happy with this. But after an hour or two more and more memory was used as it eventually began swapping to disk using 95MB of swap. There's a FAQ on this. Linux uses all available memory for buffers. If any application needs the memory, the buffer space is free immediately. This way none of your memory sits idle when it could be used to speed up your disk access or otherwise enhance performance. This is also one reason that Linux is more sensitive to marginal hardware. Using swap is not a bad thing. It means that the system is intelligent enough to move to disk any processes that don't need to be in memory. Thrashing is of course another thing entirely. Good explaination. I'd add that various 2.4.x kernels seem to use different amounts of /swap. Changes are being made to MM in the kernel. With 512mb ram and 180mb swap and 2.4.8 kernels, ML 8.1, I never got into /swap at all. IIRC, 2.4.12 thru 2.4.16 kernels would get about 25mb to 50mb into /swap and not release it. Using a 2.4.17 kernel now with ML 8.2 (cooker), and it gets 10 to 15mb into /swap, but then over time releases it down to just a few mb.

Using swap is not a bad thing. It means that the system is intelligent enough to move to disk any processes that don't need to be in memory. Thrashing is of course another thing entirely. Using swap means you don't have enough real physical memory to do what you're trying to do, and so your system has to use disk space as if it were memory. And since disk space is ... what, 100x? 1000x? slower than real RAM, I'd say having to use swap any more than occasionally would be a bad thing, since it would vastly slow you down. A little is OK.

That's not exactly correct. I did mention that thrashing, the continuous swapping in/out of memory/disk, is different. For normal usage it is fine, and even desirable if physical memory can be reclaimed for other usages. For example, if you have five processes running. They each take up 25% of RAM. If two of the processes are not active then the memory they are using is essentially wasted. So they are swapped to disk and physical RAM is freed for other purposes. Now, if all five processes are vying for memory the system will thrash and there's really no easy way to deal with it, short of killing processes or doing creative things with which process gets to run. Yes, disk space is an order of magnitude slower than RAM. It is also an order of magnitude cheaper. Linux is intelligent enough to use the resources to their best advantage. Part of the fuss in the past few months on the Linux kernel lists deal exactly with this subject. There are two competing virtual memory schemes, and each has pros and cons. A little is OK.

What this means is that they won't relay mail from machines whose IP matches inside one of the DULs. Some servers include all DHCP-assigned addresses as well as Dial-Ups. This may be what your friend is encountering--nothing to do with his iptables. As far as stopping SPAM, DULs are a totally whacked strategy. A single machine with a static IP(may not even have to be static) and rawsockets can be any IP it wants in its mailings if set up properly, and with a little 1M connection could flood a lot of us with more SPAM than we could eat in a lifetime.

Thanks foer any suggestions, Paul Paul, I have no such problems, so it may be an issue with your particular install. On the other hand (and I think this is more likely), you may be doing it wrong. For example, the standard X Window method of copying and pasting takes two steps: 1. Highlight the text you want to copy. This will automatically place the text in a clipboard buffer. 2. Place your cursor where you want to paste the text, and click the middle mouse button. In most programs, you can simply put your mouse pointer where you want to paste, and when you click the middle mouse button, the cursor will automatically move to that position before pasting the text. Following the above steps, I was easily able to paste this from Galeon (which is really just Mozilla): http://sildara.dyndns.org/tools/schedule.html and this one from Opera: http://sildara.dyndns.org/tools/schedule.html The Ctrl-C and Ctrl-V convention is really a Mac/Windows thing. It is supported by some X Window software (pretty much anything using QT and/or KDE libs, and I think also GTK), but not all. And because different libs even do this Ctrl-C/Ctrl-V stuff differently, those keystroke combinations may not work between some applications. I suspect this is the issue you are running into.

And xine is much less tolerance to cd reading IMHO, the same disk If I use mplayer it plas just fine, but xine can play just one track and then continue to skip to the end. In the previous version, it plays for a while (nearly half of the disk) lots of the frames drops, picture jitters. BUt if I use the forward button to forward to that track , it doesn't happen but will happen after a while of playing. That is why I am so tired of xine, use MPlayer instead save me headache :-) i used to have xine 0.9.6 that worked like a charm and never had problems. Now with 0.9.7 all kinds of weird things are happening. cannot even compile the darn thing from source, gives errors no job control fg. Well the bg fg work perfectly fine because I use that once in a while. I wanted to download 0.9.6 again but Can find it anywhere on the net, Not for Intel mandrake anyway.

As an interim measure you can try disabling ssh protocol 1. This is *supposed* to close the vulnerability but don't take my word for it. I know that the commercial ssh v.1.2.27 and older is vulnerable, as is probably all versions of OpenSSH up to the most recent.

Win2K might be good. But, too expensive to buy another sotware tools that I need to do programming. Visual Studio? CF Studio? Well, I got only My 3 disk Mandrake, and support from a very active linux community all over the world (nothing's is free from M$). I got all tools to do web programming. Since I only use postgres, mysql and oracle, everything is all there. BlueFish, phpmyadmin, mysq-navigator, phppgadmin, phporadmin and many oracle tools (not to mention from oracle itself). Livin' in Linux is getting much easier nowadays, no need to scandisk, defrag (thx to reiserfs and ext3), restart, reinstall (when we got win crashed), and the GUI is not bad at all. Updating software is much easier to do (thx to debian`s apt-get, mandrake`s cooker, freshmeat and many more) Most of them (I use only GPL software in my Mandrake), are all free, everything u got from community, and u only need to do good to help community, not like, Billy that hate linux coz it stole some from his wallet. I use Debian and Mandrake, both are making me much aware now about freedom, :) I leave my Win to play games and do the design, but soon . there would be available in linux. How soon?

RE: [expert] mod_frontpage and frontpage extensions.
All of this is found on the MSDN site. And should be included in the TAR that is available for download. http://msdn.microsoft.com/library/default.asp?url=/library/en-us/dnservext/h tml/fpse02win.asp To download the UNIX version of the FrontPage Server Extensions 2002 Open your browser and navigate to the Microsoft FrontPage Server Extensions 2002 for UNIX download page. Click Download Now! Select the platform and language you want to download, and then click the download file name to begin the download. Features that are installed FrontPage Server Extensions 2002 are installed in /usr/local/frontpage by default. If you install them in another location, you must provide a link from /usr/local/frontpage to the installation area. (The installation script creates this link for you.) If you do not install FrontPage Server Extensions 2002 in /usr/local, the directory must still exist. The installation script creates this directory if it is not on your server. Along with FrontPage Server Extensions 2002, the following features are installed: The program owsadm.exe, a tool for administrating FrontPage Server Extensions 2002 and FrontPage-extended webs, in /usr/local/frontpage/version5.0/bin/owsadm.exe. The HTML Administration Forms, used to administer server extensions from any computer connected to the Internet that has access to the server, in /usr/local/frontpage/version5.0/admin/LCID. LCID is the locale ID; for example, 1033 for US English. The FrontPage Apache patch, which makes it possible to install a single copy of FrontPage Server Extensions 2002 without installing stub versions of the FrontPage Server Extensions 2002 executable files in each FrontPage-extended web. The FrontPage Apache patch binaries and source files are installed in /usr/local/frontpage/version5.0/apache-fp. Other server extensions files, such as message and configuration files. Using the Setup script The FrontPage Server Extensions 2002 installation on the UNIX platform consists of four steps (you might not perform all the steps): FrontPage Server Extensions 2002 and other files are uncompressed, untarred, and saved to their locations on the server computer. If your Web server has an earlier version of the server extensions, it is upgraded. If your Web server has never had the server extensions before, the extensions are installed. If you have one or more virtual servers, FrontPage Server Extensions 2002 are optionally installed on those servers. The FrontPage Server Extensions 2002 installation script is fp_install.sh. You must be logged on as root to run this script. To untar FrontPage Server Extensions 2002 Run fp_install.sh. When prompted, back up the installation directory, the server configuration file directory, and any content before installing FrontPage Server Extensions 2002. When prompted, enter a server extensions directory. By default, FrontPage Server Extensions 2002 are installed in /usr/local/frontpage/. You can accept the default location or specify another location. If you select another location, a symbolic link is created from /usr/local/frontpage/ to the directory you choose. The installation directory must be on a local partition, and the partition must not be mounted NOSUID. When prompted, untar and uncompress the FrontPage Server Extensions 2002 tar file, fp50.platform.tar.Z. If the tar file is not in the current directory, you are prompted for its location. Upgrading earlier versions After upgrading all servers to FrontPage Server Extensions 2002, you can set up the security of your FrontPage-extended webs interactively, or have fp_install.sh generate a script to perform the operation. If you choose the interactive option, fp_install.sh prompts you for the UNIX user name and group name of each root web and subweb that you have upgraded. For each FrontPage-extended web, fp_install.sh then performs the change ownership (chown) operation on the content in each Web to be owned by the specified user and group. If you choose the script option, a Bourne shell script is generated and performs all the necessary chown operations by using owsadm.exe. Before running the script, however, you must edit it by entering the UNIX user identifiers and group identifiers you want to associate with each web. Installing a root web and subwebs for the first time To install a root web and add subwebs, you perform the following steps: Untar FrontPage Server Extensions 2002 and install them on the root web of the Web server. Before installing, you are prompted for a web administrator name and password. You will need this name and password when you administer or author the web from a FrontPage client. After installing the root web, you are prompted for your computer's local character encoding and default language. Create subwebs within the root web, and enter the administrator user name and password for each subweb you create. During installation of the stub FrontPage Server Extensions 2002 on a
