Re: [expert] Apache website on a vfat partition .."urgent help please"
It's probably because, by default, only the root user has access to vfat partitions. Do a search in the archives to locate what options you have to pass via fstab to get apache to have read / write privileges. If this is a production site, and you are running linux, I really would not suggest putting files on a fat32 partition anyways -- you are much better off with either ext2, ext3, reiserfs, or any of the large number of *nix filesystems.

[expert] Linux grrls break free
>From the Sydney Morning Herald, Australia: Linux grrls break free By Adam Turner April 2 2002 A locker-room mentality inherent in many user groups and mailing lists was the catalyst for an online sexual revolution - resulting in an Linux user group targeted specifically for women. LinuxChix was founded three years ago in the United States by Deb Richardson, who handed over global coordination and hosting to Melbourne programmer and writer Jenn Vesperman in August 2001. Linux is a free, open-source operating system, meaning its use and development is not restricted by copyright laws. LinuxChix is not exclusively for women but is actively welcoming to women rather than just passively neutral, says Vesperman. "Deb started it partly because she was sick of the teenage boy, locker-room mentality of a lot of Linux groups. She knew that it was chasing her away from Linux groups, particularly online, and felt that she couldn't possibly be the only one," says Vesperman. "She also felt that, particularly for women who aren't inherently geeky, there wasn't enough motivation to get past the locker-room mentality and actually find the core of really good people that she knew was there." Along with Melbourne and Sydney there are 18 LinuxChix regional chapters in the United States, six in Europe and five in Canada, supporting Richardson's original belief that women were in need of a low-testosterone environment in which to share ideas. "I think there are an awful lot of women who are interested in Linux and in Unix and I think there are more of them than there appears at first glance, simply because a lot of them have been scared off for various reasons," says Vesperman. "On a couple of the open-source mailing lists, the official lists for various projects, including some reasonably big-name ones, several of the women feel that they have been treated rudely specifically because they are female. They're not working on those projects any more." The LinuxChix community primarily revolves around eight general mailing lists. They include "techtalk" for technical questions and answers from beginner to expert level, "issues" relating to Linux, open source, technology and women and "grrls-only" - a combination of the LinuxChix mailing-lists topics but for women only. Grrls-only is deliberately not archived, to encourage people to speak openly. "We get quite a few people talking about whatever's going on in their lives at the time. It's very social. Since the inception of grrls-only, several women have felt freer to rant about things," says Vesperman. LinuxChix has a key focus on education and empowerment, offering online courses covering such areas as programming in C, security and Linux kernel hacking. A new BSDChix chapter of LinuxChix has formed for people interested in the BSD Unix variants. LinuxChix's Melbourne chapter next meets on Saturday, April 6. For details contact Claudine Chionh at [EMAIL PROTECTED] The Sydney chapter is inactive. www.linuxchix.org This story was found at: http://www.smh.com.au/articles/2002/03/29/1017206149200.html -- Ron.

[expert] Mandrake Club advocates: Post Positive
The CEO of MandrakeSoft, Jacques Le Marois, recently submitted an article, titled "Our Mandrake Club makes business sense" to Newsforge, apparently in response to recent allegations by Newsforge (contrary btw to the perception that they actually "champion" the open source philosophy) that the Mandrake Club is a beg for money rather than a legitimate subscription service. If you'd like to set them and the other FUD commenters straight before the article goes off the front page, here's the link: http://newsforge.com/newsforge/02/04/05/0021253.shtml?tid=3 You can post comments or responses to comments to Mr Marois's article at that address. It's likely your words could swing some folk's opinions to the positive, since lurkers abound at that place. I'm worried that the negative comments or press will badly impact subscriptions to the Mandrake Club, which will be an extremely "bad thing" (tm). I'm starting to get a little peeved and suspicious of Newsforge with regard to who exactly are they serving and where their reporters are exactly getting paid from. (under the table or otherwise.) MandrakeSoft has taken some really uncalled for hits over there, and that place is considered by many to be a bastion and fort for open source. Instead, they don't seem to be pushing support at all; rather, the opposite seems to be happening. This from an Open Source publication! I can see where journalists could be bought off from within the open source world. Not like it hasn't already happened in the big three networks. Anyways, heads up.

Re: [expert] added isa sound card: can't locate module isa-pnp
Rick, I just tried "modprobe cs4232" and it worked. I got cs4232 from the hardware list in the Mandrake control center: if you click on an item it shows you which kernel module it requires. I *guess* that my card happens to be set to the default IRQ/DMA/IO. I *guess* that the kernel module can't change these or figure out what they are (if it was a PCI card it would be no problem). It seems that isapnp has the responsibility for that, and that's where the problem seems to be. Looking in /proc, here are the settings of my card: Int 7 DMA 1 and 3 I/O 0x524 If you've got Windows on the same machine, you can check what the settings are there, then do a soft boot into linux and try to load the module while specifying the settings, something like: modprobe -k cs4232 io=0x220 irq=7 dma=1 dma16=5 mpu_io=0x330 You can check if the module is loaded with lsmod. If it loaded OK, and you're still getting no sound, then I'd guess that you have to look elsewhere for the problem. If you get it to load, then you maybe can make a permanent change by adding something like this to /etc/modules.conf: alias sound-slot-0 cs4232 options cs4232 io=0x220 irq=7 dma=1 dma16=5 mpu_io=0x330 I have to emphasize that I'm really just blundering around here. Hopefully someone more knowledgeable can provide a more definite answer. good luck, Eric On Sun, Apr 07, 2002 at 02:47:39AM +, Rick Friedman wrote: > Hi Eric, > > I just sent to the mandrake expert list a VERY similar problem.

The trouble was, I found, that the sound init routines had changed in the Quake code in the latest patch. So I downloaded the patch BEFORE this one, and installed it. After that I had no problems. I have an Aureal AU8830 card, and I use the drivers for the AU8830 off of the Sourceforge site. The sound drivers really need to be updated to be in sync with the latest Quake version; however they have not done that yet. So I still use the linuxq3apoint-1.30.x86.run patch, at least until the Aureal drivers on Sourceforge are fixed.

Re: [expert] KDE3 problems
Did you maybe uninstall KDE2 first? Your existing KDE apps need the libraries for KDE2 since that is what they were compiled for. I used the texstar rpms. I downloaded them to a directory and then as root did a rpm -uvh * and they installed fine (I did rename .kde to .kde_old and then ran menudrake after KDE3 booted to restore the menus). This process left the required libraries needed for existing KDE apps to run. If you think it is just the menus that are messed up, run menudrake and just save the menu structures.

[expert] Help! My sound has vanished!
OK... I'm hoping I can find the answers here. First of all, let me state that I've search through previous posts for my problem. And, I *HAVE* found a couple referring to the same thing but, so far, no suggested solution has helped. Anyway, I came home last night, booted my machine and found I had no sound. At first, I thought there was a problem with the soundcard so, I rebooted into Windoze but the sound was fine. Next, I booted back into Linux (Mandrake 8.1) and ran HardDrake. When I tried to configure my sound card (Crystal 4236), Hard Drake returned the following message: Error in modprobe call! modprobe: "Can't locate module isa-pnp." My next step was to run sndconfig. When it did the auto probe, and when I tried to manually configure the card (through sndconfig), the following messages were received: Modprobe error Following error occured running the modprobe program /lib/modules/2.4.8-26mdk/kernel/drivers/sound/cs4232.o.gz init_module: no such device /lib/modules/2.4.8-26mdk/kernel/drivers/sound/cs4232.o.gz insmod /lib/modules/2.4.8-26mdk/kernel/drivers/sound/cs4232.o.gz failed /lib/modules/2.4.8-26mdk/kernel/drivers/sound/cs4232.o.gz insmod sound-slot-0 failed As I said, i found a few messages from people who had a similar problem but I haven't been able to fix it so far.

The Mandrake demo shows a firewall icon: http://www.linux-mandrake.com/en/demos/Demo/Mandrake8.2/QuickLook/pages/features18.php3 Does anybody have this feature?

Re: [expert] A little vi help
According to http://www.vim.org/html/repeat.html#q
q{0-9a-zA-Z"} Record typed characters into register {0-9a-zA-Z"}
(uppercase to append). The 'q' command is disabled
while executing a register, and it doesn't work inside
a mapping. {Vi: no recording}
q Stops recording. (Implementation note: The 'q' that
stops recording is not stored in the register, unless
it was the result of a mapping) {Vi: no recording}
All commands and command sequences can be repeated by putting them in a named
register and then executing it. There are two ways to get the commands in the
register:
- Use the record command "q". You type the commands once, and while they are
being executed they are stored in a register. Easy, because you can see
what you are doing. If you make a mistake, "p"ut the register into the
file, edit the command sequence, and then delete it into the register
again. You can continue recording by appending to the register (use an
uppercase letter).
So, it appears, according to this that you turn recording on by hitting q and
then a register to put it in, and turn it off by just typing q.

Re: [expert] KDE screen Saver Location
Ok, you're not going to believe how easy this actually is. 1) Go into the KDE configuration panel, and shut off the default screensaver 2) Run "xscreensaver-demo" to select the screensaver(s) that you want to use. It will present a list of them. It will also create a ~/.xscreensaver file with your settings. 3) "cd ~/.kde/Autostart 4) ln -s /usr/bin/X11/xscreenaver ." (to like xcscreensaver into the autostart directory). 5) Restart KDE. When KDE starts, the xscreensaver splash panel will appear for 5 seconds. You can either turn this off, or shorten the duration by editing the .xscreensaver file in your home directory. I have mine set to come up, but at a very short duration, just so I know it started. That's it! Just disable the KDE screensaver. And link xscreensaver into the KDE Autostart directory (under your home dir). And you're there. You can optionally configure xscreensaver to include/exclude your favorite xscreensavers (for example, turning off all but xflame) Personally, I like xscreensaver far better than the default KDE unit. ;) Have fun!

Hi, I'm Not a PPC user, but use firewire hard drives/dvd-r drive with i86 linux (mandrake 8.2).

I'm not sure how the apple hardware works, so give modprobe ohci1394 a shot. also try insmod raw1394 and running gscanbus to see if you can see your controller and devices.

The reccommended way to change these default security settings is to add the
appropriate entries to the file /etc/security/msec/level.local (create it if
necessary) . In this case just add the line "allow_user_list(0)" (without
quotes).
There is an excellent article on this at :
http://www.mandrakesecure.net/en/docs/msec.php
Also enter "man mseclib" in a terminal, or man:/mseclib in your browser for a
list of settings that can be manually configured.
Hope this helps,

Question (for anyone): How do you get in and out of recording mode? I searched your document for "record" and found nothing. Just yesterday I jumped into vi (or maybe it was vim?) to do a quick edit and accidentally got into "recording" mode (I presume to record a macro). Took me quite a while to get out by almost randomly pressing keys. Not sure how I finally accomplished it. Randy Kramer Want to buy your Pack or Services from MandrakeSoft?

It turns out this is exactly the cause.
In particular, it is related to the msec script that gets run from both
/etc/cron.daily and /etc/cron.hourly. This script is a link to
/usr/share/msec/security.sh which calls /usr/share/msec/msec.py. msec.py
tests for security levels and makes corrections to certain system setting
based on the current level setting.
The following code snippet from /usr/share/msec/msec.py appears to be the
offender:
if level >= 4:
set_user_umask('077')
set_shell_history_size(10)
allow_root_login(0)
enable_sulogin(1)
allow_user_list(0)
enable_promisc_check(1)
accept_icmp_echo(0)
accept_bogus_error_responses(0)
allow_reboot(0)
enable_at_crontab(0)
if level == 4:
password_aging(60, 30)
else:
password_aging(30, 15)
else:
set_user_umask('022')
set_shell_history_size(-1)
allow_root_login(1)
enable_sulogin(0)
allow_user_list(1)
enable_promisc_check(0)
accept_icmp_echo(1)
accept_bogus_error_responses(1)
allow_reboot(1)
enable_at_crontab(1)
password_aging(9)
The call to 'allow_user_lists(1)' in the 'else' portion is the problem. This
has the result of forcing the 'ShowUsers' setting in kdmrc to 'All'.
Commenting this line out fixes the problem and still allows higher
security level settings to force 'ShowUsers' to 'None'. This script also
affects similar settings in gdm (I believe it's the 'Browser' setting)and
this change should fix that as well.

A lot of spam can be blocked by the ISP... however, many ISPs are incompetent in this respect. My ISP uses an upstream SP to handle mail; I was totally unimpressed by these people, so I setup my own domains and mailer (postfix). Details at http://pfortin.com/Linux/PostFix/ If you are relying on an ISP to receive your mail; you're at their mercy as to what will end up in your mailbox... that said, you then have the choice of downloading either a) the entire message or b) just the headers and deleting from the server without wasting your bandwidth. Dunno about Kmail; but sylpheed-claws (http://sylpheed-claws.sourceforge.net/) can pretty much help here... Not sure if 0.7.4 stable has the feature fully implemented; but it *is* being worked on... I use shypheed-claws and don't miss all the other mail clients I've had to suffer with in the past. Another option is SpamAssassin (http://spamassassin.taint.org/); but I can't comment on it cuz I don't use/need it... not sure if it can save your bandwidth, of if it is an "after message is downloaded" filter...

[expert] A little vi help
Fellow Penquinistas, Because we have had a few threads about the CLI, and because remote file editing with vi is such an efficient method, I thought I would share a little document that I found, and converted to html.

[expert] 8.2 install "exited abnormally" on laptop 16MB RAM. PCMCIA, NFS
People have suggested that my problem may be memory-size related, but 1) non-laptop 16MB didn't have this problem, 2)I would presume when the installation script starts, it checks the amount of the available memory, and no warning appeared on screen nor in logs. We want to have the same linux distribution on all the machines here. Well so I started with downloaded 8.2 mandrake installing it onto a 16MB Pentium 133 laptop. But it is not working out for us here so far. Any advice ? (Since we don't have access to a CDROM burner, it has to be an NFS install, and on this laptop it has to be with PCMCIA.) we tried installing as "linux display=..." and "text", but both give us same result: Got images/pcmcia.img. Booted, selected text install, it detected PCMCIA, network card. Found mdk 8.2 on NFS server, disconnected life support systems and the famous last words were: found /tmp/network found network config file /tmp/ifcfg-eth0 found network config file /tmp/resolv.conf and on Alt-1 I got: in second stage install and about 2 seconds after Alt-2 gives a prompt, install exited abnormally :-( sending termination signals...done any advice is appreciated. We would really like to use mandrake on our machines here. ... thanks, john (To get linux onto the laptop, which linux distro should I try next?) I should add: I don't need to install any graphical software on the laptop. I don't need to run any desktop on it. (even though being able to start an X app on the laptop, displaying it over ethernet on a nearby desktop would be nice). Also I just tried a "text" install on a 16MB machine (not laptop), using "network.img", and the installation did not bomb out after going second stage ... So is there something wrong with the PCMCIA install ? __ Music, Movies, Sports, Games! http://entertainment.yahoo.ca Want to buy your Pack or Services from MandrakeSoft?
