[expert] Telnetting from Linux box to Solaris
Dear All Knowing guys, okay I have a pc which is set up as a dual boot. The Linux setup uses Mandrake 8.1, and everything works pretty much, except when I try and telnet to a remote Solaris machine. I use telnet 'address', and get a prompt Connected to address (ip address) Escape character is '^]'. SunOS 5.8 login: when I enter my username (or anything) and hit return then the cursor returns to the beginning of the login line, no password prompt. It stays like this for a couple of minutes, and then presumably times out, giving me the standard bash prompt. I've tried to run the telnet with the -n switch to provide a tracefile, but it doesn't write anything to the file. I've searched on Google, but not found anything particularly helpful. I'm pretty sure its not a problem with the networking locally as when I boot into Windows I can telnet to the same box without any problem. This leads to the ironic situation where I have to drop out of Linux to go into Windows in order to work remotely on a Sun box!

Re: [expert] Telnetting from Linux box to Solaris
I would not use telnet, use SSH openssh.com is better but anway maybe.. Fixing the telnet problem might be something todo with your tty. on the client, before running sftp, run stty -a. This will show you what your terminal's backspace (erase) character is set to. If this is not the same as what your BackSpace key is actually sending, then change the setting with stty erase ^h or similar. it could be your return as well, same diagnosis If your BackSpace key is sending the DEC multi-byte Delete escape sequence, then your X server or your terminal emulator may be misconfigured; in that case, try a different terminal emulator, or delve into the documentation for your terminal emulator and/or the xmodmap command.

Re: [expert] mdk8.2 and radeon 7000 pci
Thanks for all the responses. I'll have to try some of this after work tonight. The common theme though, seems to be to disable the built in video in CMOS/BIOS. That was one of the first things I looked for. Unfortunately it can't be done. There is an option in CMOS only for choosing whether the primary video is AGP or PCI - no disable is present. I suspect the built in video would be automatically disabled if I had been able to find an AGP card that would fit the case. As I wasn't able to do that, I had to use a PCI card and it doesn't disable the built in video - at least not entirely. I found that I had to set the CMOS primary video setting for PCI in order for the Radeon card to even be acknowledged by the system. When I did, the CMOS updated itself to reflect that the built in video card now has 0MB of ram but doesn't appear to have actually disabled it. This is a dual boot box. When it starts up I always hear a POST error (beeps) that indicate video card failure, I presume because of the 0MB video ram thing, but then it proceeds to boot into windows fine. The Radeon card is ok there but the built in video shows that it failed to start in the windows device manager. Since there doesn't seem to be a way to totally disable the integrated video on this mobo I think what I need to do is set up X for dual heads and then disable (or ignore) one of them but I don't know how to do that. a) does this sound reasonable? b) how the heck does one do that? Thanks. Mike Charles A Edwards wrote: The first place to start is your system BIOS, somewhere within it you should find an option allowing you to disable the onboard video. Afterwards rerun the Mandrake installation as Expert/Upgrade. You need not select any pkgs, but if they are not already installed you will need Mesa and libMesa for openGL with the Radeon. You can skip the network and printer configuration. When you get to the X installation it may still see the S3 but allow you to choose the Radeon. You will want 4.20 with 3d hardware accel. The whole process should take no more than around 15min. Rerunning the installation rather than attempting to use XFdrake will ensure that all the necessary pkgs are installed and that /etc/XF86Config-4 is properly written.

Re: [expert] Very bad review of Mandrake 8.2 boxed set
hmm, I've installed the downloadable version of 8.2 myself and am *fully* satisfied. Before installing, I was a little bit scared due to some less enthusiastic postings on this list, but I finally had no choice (my harddisk surrendered a couple of days ago ...). The article itself is IMHO not too bad, really. It just tells the same truth that I've seen for many other distros around these days. Creating a distribution is a not so easy thing to do and maintaining it is even harder. The fact that mandrake has lacks in some places (among the many great things) is just natural. And compared to other distros, kernel compilation from source using make menuconfig or make xconfig is for example *very* different from the original kernel sources at some points (without good reason, IMHO) and that is a point that I fully agree on with the author. QA is the answer to all those things, but in that part the people at mandrake in general make a much better job than most of their competitors, so just don't take bad reviews too bad ... udo Want to buy your Pack or Services from MandrakeSoft?

Re: [expert] Firewall + routing
Have a look at Mandrake 8.2 -- later versions of IPtables etc.. Then have a look at Bastille http://www.bastille-linux.org . Just use Rpmdrake to install it,yes it's on your Mandrake Cds, and configure it using a command InteractiveBastille another excellent solution is have a look at FireStarter http://firestarter.sourceforge.net/ .. and yes that one is also on your Mandrake CDs. I have tested both of these and they look excellent. Both solutions can configure IPtables to do port forwarding. Cheers Mark On Tue, 2002-05-07 at 04:37, Belkie, Dan wrote: Hey Guys!

[expert] Prosuite 8.2
Installation of Mandrake Prosuite on a Pentium 233 MMX generates the following error: depslist.ordered mismatch against hdlist From the log the mismatch has to do with the i686 rpms being ignored or at least this is my guess. Some of the usenet lists says that it's a bad CD but if I move to a PII or PIII then no problems. SO the burning question is how can I get Mandrake 8.2 installed on the system? I do not know the manual process for the initial system. I didn't see any obvious cpio files which is what I thought the core would be. I also checked Mandrake's Hardware list and they did not remove the Pentium 233 MMX from support in 8.2. http://www.linux-mandrake.com/en/hard-details.php3?F_TYPE=procF_ID=392 Thanks Michael The only secure computer is one that's unplugged, locked in a safe, and buried 20 feet under the ground in a secret location... and I'm not even too sure about that one--Dennis Huges, FBI.

Re: [expert] mdk8.2 and radeon 7000 pci
Thanks for all the responses. I'll have to try some of this after work tonight. The common theme though, seems to be to disable the built in video in CMOS/BIOS. That was one of the first things I looked for. Unfortunately it can't be done. There is an option in CMOS only for choosing whether the primary video is AGP or PCI - no disable is present. I suspect the built in video would be automatically disabled if I had been able to find an AGP card that would fit the case. As I wasn't able to do that, I had to use a PCI card and it doesn't disable the built in video - at least not entirely. I found that I had to set the CMOS primary video setting for PCI in order for the Radeon card to even be acknowledged by the system. When I did, the CMOS updated itself to reflect that the built in video card now has 0MB of ram but doesn't appear to have actually disabled it. This is a dual boot box. When it starts up I always hear a POST error (beeps) that indicate video card failure, I presume because of the 0MB video ram thing, but then it proceeds to boot into windows fine. The Radeon card is ok there but the built in video shows that it failed to start in the windows device manager. Since there doesn't seem to be a way to totally disable the integrated video on this mobo I think what I need to do is set up X for dual heads and then disable (or ignore) one of them but I don't know how to do that. a) does this sound reasonable? b) how the heck does one do that? Thanks. Mike Charles A Edwards wrote: The first place to start is your system BIOS, somewhere within it you should find an option allowing you to disable the onboard video. Afterwards rerun the Mandrake installation as Expert/Upgrade. You need not select any pkgs, but if they are not already installed you will need Mesa and libMesa for openGL with the Radeon. You can skip the network and printer configuration. When you get to the X installation it may still see the S3 but allow you to choose the Radeon. You will want 4.20 with 3d hardware accel. The whole process should take no more than around 15min. Rerunning the installation rather than attempting to use XFdrake will ensure that all the necessary pkgs are installed and that /etc/XF86Config-4 is properly written. I have 2 Radeons and both work well. James wrote: It may be working like the integrated sound on my mobo I had to go into BIOS and turn off the sound TWICE (in too different locations that's why the caps) in order to get it working. Even though Linux recognized the sound card it wouldn't let my SBLive! work until I did this. Now here is the funny part. Even though sound is turned off in BIOS both cards work. Just that when it's turned on the pci one doesn't. Also look to see if it's set up for AGP video only. This may also be the case.

I'm curious since I have been looking at the ATI side. I've got an Abit Siluro and I'm happy, but I'm also still interested in ATI, as I'm sure others are too. Rather than try to speak for ATI I attached 2 pages copied from their website dealing with Linux XFree86 and with sources. Now to my Soapbox, if you please. In todays market you now have only 2 major players in the development of video chipsets for use in 3d hardware accelerated graphics cards (notice that I did not say makers of graphics cards,though both do sell under their own banner, Nvidia has for some time sold chips to second party makers and ATI, with the Radeon has recently begun to do the same. Matox and S3 are players but they can not be considered as Major and since it is no longer in business Voodoo has lost its stature and no longer resides with the elite. For out of the box performance in Linux ATI, with the radeon and Rage128 line, is the hands down winner. The radeon provides excellent 2d/3d performance including gaming and, with Mesa installed, good GL support. There are actually 2 sets of ATI linux drivers, those provided in XFree86 and those provided by gatos, otherwise known as the ati2 drivers. Contrary to that noted in another post Mandrake 8.2 ships with Both sets of drivers and the ati2 driver Are those which are used by default. Are their problems with some ATI cards? Yes! There are as many variations of the radeon as their are flavors of BR ice cream and some will suffer performance degradation and in situations were other hardware compatibility with Linux is not at optimum certain cards may not work, but most of these issues are known and solutions are being developed. This is nothing restricted to ATI. It is industry wide. Hardware is evolving at a rate faster than the software needed for its deployment can be fully and completely tested. There are those who always want the cutting-edge but fail to grasp the the liabilities that come with such. When comparing the performance of ATI verses Nvidia/nvidia driver in Linux the Winner Is It depends on the criteria by which one chooses to measure it. If measured by usage, what it can do, how it looks and feels. I doubt that you could tell the difference. The disparity in numbers may seem great but to the eye there is none. Why do you think all those fancy benchmark test were created. People can not tell the difference just by looking/using. So as not to disappoint any who wish numbers I will simply show why Nvidia best ATI in openGL. For any who do not know Radeons need Mesa and libMesa to provide GL.

Re: [expert] Printing
I haven't tried that printer on W2K or XP yet, but a note on hardware; many newer computers allow you to set the parallel port as spp(old standard) or epp (newer faster). You might want to check this setting in the BIOS. I had this problem with older HPII's and HPIII's when users upgraded their computers, suddenly the printer quit, and no Windblows settings would work. Once I set the port in BIOS (to SPP), no muss, no fuss, no bother.

The printer works fine under all version of windows.

Matrox Graphics, Inc. MGA 2064W [Millennium] (rev 1). The PC is an AMD K63/450. I'm actually pretty happy with this antiquated card, however. The fb console is accelerated and does 1280x1024 and is actually faster than several of the accelerated ATI R128 machines on my network. It's obviously not for games but does a great job otherwise. 1. As the CPUs are nearly the same the difference between the graphic cards is obvious. 2. Concerning the 2D performance I totally agree. I'm a Matrox fan myself and used various cards (starting with Mystique) during the last years. It's my recommendation for non-gamers. wobo -- Registered Linux User 228909 Powered By Mandrake Linux 8.1 - Microsoft, Windows, Bugs, Lacking Features, IRQ Conflicts, System Crashes, Non-Functional Multitasking and The Blue Screen of Death (BSOD) are registered trademarks of Microsoft Corp., Redmond, Washington, USA.
