[expert] java IBM Java2-1.3
Hi listmembers, I have just done clean install of mdk 8.0 today after backing everything up from both my windows and mdk partition. I was running out of room for mdk and realised that i had not been anywhere near windows for more than a month, so it's gone!! the new install went fine X , USB camera , printer , cdburner , all eccept for JAVA it installed well and I can use java on the desktop ie: use a java image viewer but not in Konqueror or mozilla I have enabled java in Konqueror and pointed to /opt/IBMJava2-13/jre/bin/javaplugin.so /opt/IBMJava2-13/jre/bin/java /opt/IBMJava2-13/jre/bin/oldjava /opt/IBMJava2-13/jre/bin/exe/java /opt/IBMJava2-13/jre/bin/exe/oldjava nothing seems to work I had this working before but I think I was using Sun Java 2-1.3 I also remember adding it to my path ,but cannot remember the exact details I know this list is a little beyond this question but I would really appreciate the help. cheers JasonPearce Want to buy your Pack or Services from MandrakeSoft?

RE: [expert] Mail server on home LAN
I do just what you are talking about myelf. Here is how I set it up.. get postfix working.. you will then need to look for "relayhost" in the main.cf file, (its well commented.) set that as your ISP's mail server. If you have a dialup account, you can also have postfix queue mail without trying to send till it gets a "sendmail -q" so in your dialup scripts, you can just add "sendmail -q" without the quotes. and in main.cf add defer_transport = smtp that why your logs won't get filled by postfix trying to send mail when its not connected. I also used amavisd with postfix and content filtering and Trend Filescan for linux.(all free.) it scans all incoming and outgoing mail for virus's and stops them if they have any. (it will also decompress archive files of about 10 different types to check if they contain virus's as well.) as for the retrieving of mail, I set fetchmail up in deamon mode, have /roots .fetchmailrc file contains all the different pop3 accounts to get and what user they are for. a user in .fetchmailrc looks like this: poll mail.somewhere.com with proto POP3 user 'franki' there with password 'mypasswd' is franki2 here options fetchall if you want fetchmail to run in deamon mode, and check every 20 seconds for email, here is what I did. at the top of .fetchmailrc add these: set postmaster "postmaster" set bouncemail set no spambounce set deamon 20 # This is the one that tells fetchmail to run as a deamon and check every 20 seconds. by default, fetchmail will pass the incoming mail onto postfix, which scans it, gives it to the local delivery agent. (MDA) ususally procmail or WHY... thats it, add all your other uses in the above format. and add fetchmail to ip-up.local or whatever you use to start stuff in you external connection. rgds Frank -Original Message- From: [EMAIL PROTECTED] [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED]]On Behalf Of wim Sent: Thursday, 21 February 2002 7:13 PM To: [EMAIL PROTECTED] Subject: [expert] Mail server on home LAN Hello, I'd like to set up a mail server for two users on my home LAN.

RE: [expert] databases for linux
I also don't wish to start a flame war, but I write CGI applications predominantly with perl.. and I'd have to say that perl and php don't really differ that much in server load or speed. and I have seen some benchmarks with php, ASP, perl, mod_perl, and JAVA... and in most cases, mod_perl won out on speed, php and perl were not that different, depending on what was being done. ASP I can't remember cos I wasn't particularly interested.. JAVA was in some cases up close to mod_perl as was c++ which makes sense since both are compiled languages. c++ was alittle ahead of JAVA because it didn't run in a java enviroment and as such needed to be compiled for the platform it was on for testing. most of the problems with perl is that it lets you get away with alot, and efficient coding.. (particularly with strictures) can make a huge difference.. alot of people just don't pre-declair variables, which means by default that they become global and take up memory much longer then they are actually needed for.. other issues are caused by unnecessary use of regex, which slows things down a fair bit, if you don't need it to achieve something, find an alternative... efficient coding on perl can be very fast.. particularly with mod_perl. Other benefits of perl. 1. CPAN, (already discussed.) 2. Installed on all unix servers and the vast majority of NT/2000 servers. (php can be as well, but doesn't have the same numbers.) 3. Mod_perl already discussed, enterprise speed applications that compete with languages like C++ and JAVA for speed. 4 Easier to organise huge projects then PHP.. take a look at the code for the older versions of PHPnuke for an example. (niether is as good as JAVA for this though.) 5 Perscript. 6 Age, perl has been around for ages, is very stable and has access to more system stuff then php, see CPAN above :-). Its a matter of using the tool that fits best for the job.. I have no real preference. but I have written alot of online ecommerce stuff and the simple truth of the matter is that its faster on perl.. (I mean development not running speed in this case.) particularly since most of my stuff runs on a wide variety of ISP servers, Solaris, old and new distro's of linux, and all variations of NT/2000 servers. If the situation changes in the future I'll reassess.. I want to achieve stuff with the least amount of effort on my part necessary. rgds Frank -Original Message- From: [EMAIL PROTECTED] [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED]]On Behalf Of Alexander Skwar Sent: Thursday, 21 February 2002 8:02 PM To: [EMAIL PROTECTED] Subject: Re: [expert] databases for linux »Rob« sagte am 2002-02-21 um 09:45:56 + : > Why do you despise Perl then ?

Well, that's only true if you compare cgi-bin Perl (which most of the hosters only offer) to cgi-bin PHP (which very few hosters offer).

RE: [expert] databases for linux
like I said, its the tool you find more useful for the job.. when I said system stuff, I meant more complete DB interfaces and the like... I have heard many good php programmers state that large projects like php nuke tend to end up with messy code with subsequent versions, I have not done alot of projects with php that are large in scale, so I can't comment. as for mod_perl, its getting more and more common a setup, I was surprised to find that more then half the hosts in my area have it. I write scripts to cover every eventuality, so at the lower end, just standard cgi-bin perl, and session ids and stuff written to file.. at the higher end, mod_perl and MySQL. works great, the majority of people have low turnover shopping carts and want to install the scirpt themselves, so cgi-bin perl is the way to go.. if an enterprise setup is requested and we have full access we setup the mod_perl and MySQL version, works great. Very Quick. I work for a Online Payment Gateway and that side of things is written in JAVA running in JRUN, lots of servlets and a MySQL DB. so its a matter of what tool you are most productive in.. personal preference really.

You can specify that a particular MAC address always gets the same IP address in your /etc/dhcpd.conf file. You can also try creating a separate set of run level scripts for the other location. The only difference would be the default configuration files it would use for the network. Or you can setup DHCP on your home network. It would take about five minutes and may solve the problem for you. Want to buy your Pack or Services from MandrakeSoft? Go to http://www.mandrakestore.com

[expert] Dumb question #56
I would just like to ask about the shift in boot display philosophies. Don't get me wrong here, I'm no big fan of Aurora - and I don't care to start a flame war over pretty GUI boot vs. ugly text details . . Think about other desktop OSs - Mac OS/X, Microsnot, OS/2 - etc. Most desktop OSs shield the average user from the boot details (but maintain usually a good log of events if something goes wrong) I was a bit surprised to find Aurora missing from the latest Cooker releases and the bootsplash stuff is under construction - so I'm not sure how it'll end up looking. To be quite honest, I personally find the Suse 7.3 boot screens very professional and nice mixture of information and pretty-ness . . . I was kinda hoping that Mandrake would be going in this direction. Sorry for the rant, the question is simply "now that Aurora is out, what is the intended direction for Mandrake's boot display?" Aurora was not as evil as some mentioned, and Mandrake even got good reviews for 8.1 because of it . . . It was nice to have the choice in the MCC to turn it on or off (with different themes to boot!) I for one think it would be nice if the option for it was still there (maybe in contribs?) - but it appears to have mysteriously vanished from Cooker. That's my 2 euro cents here.

Re: [expert] Re: rsync problem (was beta2 to beta3)
Brandon, Thanks for your comment! Yes, my explanation is not very clear, partially because I don't understand that point very well myself. I think the text in issue is the second bullet under this: http://twiki.org/cgi-bin/view/Wikilearn/RsyncingALargeFileBeginner#Other_notes. The reference to "module" was something I found somewhere in the rsync documentation. As the bulleted paragraph states, I had to discover that this essentially meant "directory" (in my terms) and I had to play around a little to find the correct directory. I don't have time to play around right now, but should in order to clarify this. (And, IIUC, the site I was using is no longer a Mandrake mirror, so I cannot go back to that site to clarify things.) Part of the issue is that the directory must be specified relative to something. I think it is relative to something like the rsync working directory, which may be different than the ftp working directory. Thus the path you specify in an rsync command may need to be different than the path specified in an ftp command. (And I may be all wrong about this -- I was very confused at the time, and, clearly, still am.) If I had to take a flying leap at this point in time, I'd try deleting "/pub" from the path in your command -- that seems to be what I had to do at the carroll.cac.psu.edu site. If anybody can clarify this, it would be greatly appreciated, and I would be happy to revise the appropriate paragraphs on the WikiLearn page. (Or, since it is a wiki, you can register and revise them yourself.) regards, Randy Kramer Brandon Dorman wrote: > Ok, I got to 515mb this time on Beta3 CD 1 and it failed. So I went to > your page.

Hi , well found out why the patch would go and fixed it.. make dep.. this runs right to the end ok until the 3rd party additions then I get this make -C 3rdparty fastdep make[2]: Entering directory `/usr/src/linux-2.4.17-20mdk/3rdparty' make[2]: *** No rule to make target `fastdep'. Stop. make[2]: Leaving directory `/usr/src/linux-2.4.17-20mdk/3rdparty' make[1]: *** [_sfdep_3rdparty] Error 2 make[1]: Leaving directory `/usr/src/linux-2.4.17-20mdk' make: *** [dep-files] Error 2 as all the 3rdparty section is set to no, how do I get round this one ?? I'd prefer just to take the standard kernel and just load the modules, unfortunatly I dont have a choice unless I wait til 2.4.20 comes out..

[expert] Using a Laptop in Different Environments
But this is solved!; Use drakprofile. I have drakprofile and just have the 2 profiles (home and office) configured. When I start my work, I conect my computer to the net and in drakprofile I select office; in few seconds the net is automatically reconfigured and restarted; I need just to put down and put in again the pcmcia card and, hale opp! the net is runing. When I go back to my home I start again drakprofile, I select home and after a few seconds I do the same thing with the pcmcia ethernet card and I have my conection working at home.

Re: [expert] Re: rsync problem (was beta2 to beta3)
Ok, the easiest is to use rsync like an ls command and navigate to the directory you want if you do not know the path up front: e.g., "rsync rsync://ftp.uninett.no/" will list all the top level modules (directories) available. Note the last "/" and no target directory - without this nothing is printed! Next add the directory you next want to list: "rsync rsync://ftp.uninett.no/Mandrake/" and so on until you build the path and locate the file(s) you want. To download the whole 8.1 updates (mirror the updates), use "rsync -Pcavub --bwlimit=3 --stats --exclude=kernel22\* --exclude=kernel-enterprise\* --exclude=kernel-smp\* --exclude=kernel-linus\* --exclude=kernel-pcmcia-cs\* --delete-excluded --delete rsync://ftp.uninett.no/Mandrake/Mandrake/updates/8.1/RPMS/\* ." Note that I had to escape the wildcard - rsync gives the usual unix (un)informative error otherwise. Kernels I do manually so I dont accidentally destroy the system, the bwlimit is coz I use a modem and it leaves some bandwidth for use whilst the command is running. I cron it at 1:05am local. For iso's, its basicly the same,just runs for 3 or so days per cd! On Fri, 2002-02-22 at 22:16, Randy Kramer wrote: > Brandon, > > Thanks for your comment!

RE: [expert] databases for linux
Hi out there ! Adding some comments to the backend-part of the debate (the frontend-part circling around PERL and PHP ;-) ): > Postgres and MySQL, features, platforms... Just two things which haven't been mentioned yet: * There IS also a win32-version for Postgresql. It is included in the Cygwin-package (sources.redhat.com/cygwin/). But most statements I've read don't recommend to use the windblows-platform for PG. But I don't have any personal experience with that path... * There is also a nice feature in MySQL I read about which isn't included in PostgreSQL: replication. Again - I just read about it (did some research in possibility of clustering/replication with those two DBs) - no hands-on experience... Finally, both DBs look very promising and I hope to be able to examine them ASAP... Oliver Thieke Want to buy your Pack or Services from MandrakeSoft? Go to http://www.mandrakestore.com
Re: [expert] Boot Loader Solved but more problems, now kernel panic
Hi again. I identify the problem but don't know how to solve it. The problem is on install stage the promise controller is detected as hde but after installing is detected as hda and hda is via_ide on installation , and lm8.0 is installed on hda (via_ide.) . After installing linux can't boot because can't find root system. I put install cd#1 and try rescue mode, I succesfully mounted the / partition on hda and try to change lilo.conf (is aiming at hda instead of hde ) . No luck . Try modifying /etc/fstab . No luck. Any ideas? Thanks, Jorge Giménez Hi again . I get lilo working I have installed on the 6,4 gb disk that is on hda . I made two partitions one / with 5889 mb ext2 and the rest for swap.

Didn't know you didn't need the full install, so I'll definitely give that a try in the future. I'd love to have a version of PG running on my windows partition. The full package is (as I remember) quite large, and not particularly friendly for those folks who are not Linux/unix friendly. It also seemed to run (how to put this) a little weird on my system, and that was enough to make me skeptical. The absolute killer for the app I am developing is that first part: there's no way I can put this out there and require folks to figure out cygwin and then postgres. Just ain't going to happen. But I'm not locking myself into windows - good god no! Banish the thought. I happen to be writing my application in PHP with an excellent database abstraction layer, so it will (theoretically) work on any supported platform, with any one of seven different databases, including Postgres.

[expert] bulding the KDE menu, update-menus?
For some reason I suddenly lost my menustructure for KDE, i.e., the menu now only consist of soffice (which I run recently), Bookmarks, Recent Documents, Quick Browser, Run command ..., Configure, Lock Screen, and Logout. I have checked with menudrake and it still know the full structure. I have run update-menus (as user and as root) to regenerate the menus, but that have been in vain. So now my (probably really stupid) question is: what do I do to regenerate the full menu structure for KDE.

It's not so much that lilo can't find the /boot partition as lilo can't be found. I could be very wrong, but doesn't lilo have to be on the mbr of whatever the mobo sees as the primary drive? If the mobo is seeing it's onboard disk controler as the primary disk controller (and the secondary) and the promise ide controller as the third, then when the bios trys to hand off the boot prosses to the mbr there is nothing to hand it off to.

Re: [expert] [OT] Burning iso's
Greetings, It should do this by default. To write I use cdrecord 1.10, and the command line is: cdrecord -v -eject speed=8 dev=3,0 whatever.iso Your address may be different; but the rest should be the same. Two things: 1. You should not need the 'pad' option. 2. Are you burning a 650 or 700 MB disk? Burning a 650 iso onto a 700 MB disk makes it unbootable...

I even forbade myself the use of every word or expression in the language that imported a fixed opinion, such as "certainly", "undoubtedly", etc. I adopted instead of them "I conceive", "I apprehend", or "I imagine" a thing to be so or so; or "so it appears to me at present". When another asserted something that I thought an error, I denied myself the pleasure of contradicting him abruptly, and of showing him immediately some absurdity in his proposition. In answering I began by observing that in certain cases or circumstances his opinion would be right, but in the present case there appeared or semed to me some difference, etc. I soon found the advantage of this change in my manner; the conversations I engaged in went on more pleasantly. The modest way in which I proposed my opinions procured them a readier reception and less contradiction. I had less mortification when I was found to be in the wrong, and I more easily prevailed with others to give up their mistakes and join with me when I happened to be in the right. -- Autobiography of Benjamin Franklin Want to buy your Pack or Services from MandrakeSoft?

I love the apache advanced extranet server that comes with Mandrake 8.1. However I quickly found that mod_perl / mod_proxy doesn't correcly pass the requesting IP address to the proxy. The request looks like it's coming from the webserver instead of the user requesting the page. This is extremely annoying if you run a site like slashcode. Anyhow, I found that mod_ip_forward does exactly that but they left it out of the rpm distro!
