[expert] Laptop running 8.1 having problems with CompactFlash card
I've got a Sony VAIO F580 in which I swap my NIC and CompactFlash card adapter in the PCMCIA slots (so I can mount my digital camera's pics locally). When I run Mandrake shipped kernels, life is good and everything works fine. When I compile my own kernel and enable only the things I need, the only thing that isn't working is the CompactFlash card adapter. First, and perhaps someone on the list could explain this, the Mandrake kernels ship with the ide_cs module which is required for this device. The problem here is that in the *real* kernel, it's not called ide_cs, but rather ide-cs. So when /etc/init.d/pcmcia starts, I get the following in my syslog: --- Jan 23 09:52:05 hector cardmgr[1655]: socket 0: ATA/IDE Fixed Disk Jan 23 09:52:05 hector cardmgr[1655]: executing: 'modprobe ide_cs' Jan 23 09:52:05 hector cardmgr[1655]: + modprobe: Can't locate module ide_cs Jan 23 09:52:05 hector cardmgr[1655]: modprobe exited with status 255 Jan 23 09:52:05 hector cardmgr[1655]: module /modules/2.4.17-2/pcmcia/ide_cs ..o not available Jan 23 09:52:07 hector cardmgr[1655]: get dev info on socket 0 failed: Resource temporarily unavailable --- I get around this issue by putting and alias for ide_cs in my /etc/modules.conf and running depmod, but why has Mandrake re-named this kernel module and built pcmcia to look for it as opposed to the legitimate ide-cs?

[expert] Is this the expected behavior of the KDE taskbar in Mandrake 8.1?

Re: [expert] Strange behavior of a tulip clone NIC
If I understand correctly, you have a Netgear card that uses the tulip.o driver and it's having trouble (if this is not true, then feel free to ignore the rest of the message). I don't have the machine in front of me right now, but if I remember correctly, the tulip.o driver would not load unless I loaded pci-scan.o first. insmod pci-scan insmod tulip was what I did. Additionally, I think it worked best to put a line in my /etc/modules.conf like: alias eth0 tulip If anyone from Mandrake is listening: I tried to use this card (the Netgear using tulip.o driver) for a MDK SNF firewall. The boot image had the tulip driver but not the pci-scan driver so the install would not autodetect the card. I don't know enough yet to configure the card post-install to work with the web interface provided so I finally pulled the Netgear card and replaced it with a 3Com 3c59x, reinstalled and it worked like a charm. Admittedly, I am not an expert on this area (linux network drivers), but it seems that the pci-scan should be included in the boot image. Perhaps this was specific to my config though. I have had great success with Mandrake 8.x. I am not yet a Linux expert, but I am working on it.

Re: [expert] Sound...what does it take?
Hmpf...kernel-2.4.8 that is the default for MD 8.1 has an esssolo1.o.gz file in its sound modules directory. I thought the Mandrake kernels were adding alsa directly instead of as an addon package? That said, alsa does NOT produce such a module - it produces snd-es1938 which is what the card gets ID'd as (ESS Solo1 - ES1938) by kudzu. In any case, there is no sound mixer to go with it. I unloaded the es1938 module and insmoded the esssolo1 module. It went in fine as did the es1938 before - still no sound, no sound mixer, nothing. I have never actually had any Mandrake default install get my soundcard working. I have always had to rebuild the kernel and either build the solo driver into the kernel or build the alsa drivers and install/use those. For whatever reason, the binary kernels installed from the installation CDs can't deal with this card. I still don't have sound. I am in the midst of building kernel-2.4.17.8, the replacement for the broken 17.6 and 17.7 kernels, I presume, since neither of the former are any longer available. I got the 17.8 kernel directly from Mandrake. I hope THIS one will work with my pcmcia network card and sound card... praedor On Wednesday 23 January 2002 02:10 pm, Bill Witherspoon wrote: If you're sure its an essolo1 then the correct driver is: esssolo1 (It works fine for me) 'insmod esssolo1' should do it.

Re: [expert] Sound...what does it take?
Praedor I am curious to see if the 2.4.17.8 one works for you - I tried it earlier today and I get an error undefined symbol when it does a modprobe on boot. I forget the module now, but it was sound related. I've gone back to 17.6 (which so far hasnt given me any problems) until 17.9 comes out! I still don't have sound. I am in the midst of building kernel-2.4.17.8, the replacement for the broken 17.6 and 17.7 kernels, I presume, since neither of the former are any longer available. I got the 17.8 kernel directly from Mandrake. I hope THIS one will work with my pcmcia network card and sound card... praedor Want to buy your Pack or Services from MandrakeSoft?

Re: [expert] Sound...what does it take?
Hi Praedor, I've been playing with the sound card on my Sony VAIO and had problems when Alsa would load and try to load non-existent modules. Sound would load properly but alsa would be the one that would make it puke. I'd suggest pulling the original kernel source from kernel.org (or some mirror) and go with that. I too played with 2.4.17.7 and just gave up on these Mandrake modularised kernels. Roll your own and build what you need to probably as modules so /etc/init.d/sound can load them appropriately. Hope that helps, -Charlie Praedor Tempus said: Hmpf...kernel-2.4.8 that is the default for MD 8.1 has an esssolo1.o.gz file in its sound modules directory. I thought the Mandrake kernels were adding alsa directly instead of as an addon package? That said, alsa does NOT produce such a module - it produces snd-es1938 which is what the card gets ID'd as (ESS Solo1 - ES1938) by kudzu. In any case, there is no sound mixer to go with it. I unloaded the es1938 module and insmoded the esssolo1 module. It went in fine as did the es1938 before - still no sound, no sound mixer, nothing. I have never actually had any Mandrake default install get my soundcard working. I have always had to rebuild the kernel and either build the solo driver into the kernel or build the alsa drivers and install/use those. For whatever reason, the binary kernels installed from the installation CDs can't deal with this card. I still don't have sound. I am in the midst of building kernel-2.4.17.8, the replacement for the broken 17.6 and 17.7 kernels, I presume, since neither of the former are any longer available.

[expert] Good audio recording program?
This is an embarrassingly simple question to ask on an expert list, but perusing the Web and archived lists for half an hour didn't turn up anything very promising, so I figured that I'd just embarrass myself and ask anyway. What program do people recommend for recording audio? Specifically, if I am playing a RealAudio file through RealPlayer, I would like to record the audio in a format that I can later play back. None of the programs that is installed by default in MDK 8.1 seems to perform this function. (I thought that kmix did; but there's no Save As... to allow me to tell it where to put any recorded audio; the help talks about recording, but doesn't give any clue as to how to actually perform the function.) Actually, while I'm here, I might as well state that what I would _really_ like to do is to download the RealAudio file much more quickly than real time (it's in an audio archive on the Web), then listen to it later at my own convenience. As far as I can tell, though, RealNetworks seem to be one of these companies that threatens to sue anyone who makes such a program available :-( Doc Evans PS I tried a simple-minded rec, but then RealPlayer couldn't get access to the audio device; presumably this is because rec doesn't go through artsd. -- Phone: +1 303 494 0394 Mobile: +1 720 839 8462 Fax:+1 781 240 0527 -- Want to buy your Pack or Services from MandrakeSoft?

Re: [expert] No such file or directory message from bash
Kwan, the executable file in question here is not really a script (as I explained in the other mail, I only gave that example because that was the only other time when I saw the same error in bash), but thank you for your insight, I appreciate it. This most likely means that the first line of your script is pointing to an incorrect executable. Do this: which python You should get something like /usr/local/bin/python Next, check that the first line of the script points to this No, it wasn't this, I typically use #!/usr/bin/env python as the first line. executable: head -1 swatgrs_set Just gives some binary symbols, since it's a compiled executable. BTW, this error can also happen if you're using a DOS/Windows python script that you moved to Linux. The carriage return/linefeed combination of Windows will need to converted using something like dos2unix. No, some python scripts I wrote entirely in Linux, moreover, sometimes they'd work ok for some time (with just ./my_script), then after some more editing they'd refuse to run like that with the same message: No such file or directory, and I'd have to run them with python my_script.

[expert] Stay away from the cooker 2.4.17 kernels
I've spent the last 3 days trying to build and install a working 2.4.17 kernel. Just this morning I downloaded the cooker 2.4.17-8mdk kernel source and tried building it - they had removed the 2.4.17-6mdk and -7mdk kernels rather quickly. I had hoped this one would be usable. Nope. In particular, if you plan on installing/using it on a laptop I advise you to steer clear of the Mandrake cooker 2.4.17 kernels. Between Linus' changing the virtual memory management system in the middle of the 2.4.x kernel development cycle and whatever it is that Mandrake is doing with Cooker, the 2.4.17 kernel is BROKEN. PCMCIA is a mess, sound support is a mess...at least on my IBM Thinkpad. No matter what I tried, sound was impossible to get working. Getting pcmcia to work with my very simple 3com 589 pcmcia card was hit or miss, mostly miss. Give these kernels a wide berth - they are truly not ready for prime time. I had wanted to get at least one of them going because they include some THEORETICALLY nice added security features...an extra tab/button in xconfig called grsec. These features can be selected to make the system less vulnerable to DoSing, stealthier to portscanners, and harder to exploit in general. Besides pcmcia being dorked (and sound), the security features seem to wreck kudzu and, perhaps, a few other services/tools. If they work, they will obviously require a good deal system administration just to make the system usable in their presence. Looks like I'll have to follow another's advice and download some kernel source from THE kernel source...kernel.org...and hope their recent offerings are functional. praedor __ Do You Yahoo!?

Re: [expert] Strange behavior of a tulip clone NIC
This is a response to the system doesn't boot any more part: If you downloaded ALL the updates available, you will have updated the kernel which is more or less certain to screw your system up. For future reference, don't use update for the kernel. Download it and use: rpm -ivh to install it alongside your existing kernel. I don't know why mandrake insist on putting the kernel in the same bin as all the other security updates, thereby inviting people to trash their systems, but they keep on doing it.

So sprach »Ken Thompson« am 2002-01-23 um 09:55:53 -0700 : Thanks Alexander, here's the output: [root@casper ken]# lsof -i :3 COMMAND PID USER FD TYPE DEVICE SIZE NODE NAME mcserv 2267 root4u IPv4 4628 TCP *:compressnet (LISTEN) Ah, so we know now, that the command mcserv has opened this port. mcserv is part of the mcserv (midnight commander) package which belongs to mc, and is some kind of file server. If you don't need it, shut it down (service mcserv stop) and deinstall it (urpme mcserv). I doubt that you'll need it - *I* never ever used it.
