[expert] Question on setting Video Ram for onboard Video.
All, I've got an ASUS TUSL-2 Mobo with the i815 onboard video chipset. Mandrake detects and runs it without a hitch. But in my often vain attempts to figure out why it "freezes' or suddenly drops out (especially after a long period of non use.) I found out that it's only being allocated 16megs of ram. Now according to the manual it can share up to 64 megs. I've got 384 megs on the box so, per the manual, I set the video ram at 64 megs, in BIOS. No other settings are available there. But it still shares only 16 megs (Note it was set to 64 during install and I couldn't find a place to set anything different, even in MCC.)I checked the XF86Config-4 file (running 4.2.0 XFree86 with video acceleration ) and under display VideoRam is commented out. When I set this to 65536 I can no longer boot into X . I then tried setting it to 32 megs in BIOS and in the XF86Config-4 ... same results. I then just for kicks tried to set it to 16 ... same results. Only when it is commeted out can I boot to X. How do I correctly pass to X the fact that it should use a larger Video RAM setting, or is this hard coded? Thanks, James Want to buy your Pack or Services from MandrakeSoft?

Re: [expert] unsubsribe expert
Yes but when you apply Schrodenger's (sp) principle doesn't nothing become something if you observe it? Besides with all these "lost" e-mails everyone is experiencing I thought this might have been a partial loss. And for what it's worth I still don't think it's Mandrakes fault It's that dang Carnivore from the FBI, after all, you need to remember the decree from the land of a million viruses (Redmond) is that Open Source is a communist plot.

Re: [expert] RPM - Rebuild question.
(With tongue firmly planted in cheek) Are the guys who tell you this the same ones who let RH7.0 out into the wild (the one that was so complete it even contains the Ramen Worm!)? Seriously though. Yeah, I can and do go the route of installing the src rpms but I was just wondering if anyone knew of a way to pass that one switch. I've got to prepare a "class" so to speak on basic RPM building/compiling and was curious if this could be added. As for rpmrebuild. Even Maximum rpm doesn't have anything on that ( my copy is about 6 months or so old though) Interesting, that they would bother with the name switch when all it accomplishes is confusing the heck out of the users. Must have been a Marketing decision *grin*.

Re: [expert] make a perfect mail server in a non perfect network
Allah, In webmin they have tools for Sendmail, postfix and qmail (maybe more but these I am sure of)... All of which get you up and running in a very visual manor without have to learn (for example) Sendmail's programming language. I have only used it to set up a Sendmail based mail server but for the most part I've rarely seen webmin come up short for getting something working right. As for what to install. Start with the main rpm of any one and add the dependency packages it asks for and then go to webmin and start working. From what I hear Postfix is the easiest to get working right, and Sendmail is of course the most popular. Hope this helps.

Re: [expert] Any idea how to watch TV using a Voodoo3 3500TV?
I used to use this card and had TV working once. I found a driver in development on Sourceforge. Just go there and type in 3500 and you should find it. Just to warn you, it wasn't the easiest thing to set up. From what I remember I had to download and compile the code from CVS then insert the various modules. It's not horrible but it's more than just installing an RPM. Vince On Wed, 2002-06-12 at 22:04, Barry Michels wrote: > What program would be needed to render the video?

( fonts, opening files, practically nothing worked ) all of this using codeweavers wine. so, the point is i think IE is possible, but office is a longer shot. oh, and by the way, opening MS Word thru wine ( which means opening up the wineserver and all that stuff wine does before the actual program begins to run ) is still WAY faster than OpenOffice. i mean i can open 4 instances of word thru wine while i watch the OpenOffice splash. :o( i think the OO guys have reached a somewhat mature point of usability and should focus on optimisation now..

It is fairly easy to get postfix to do maildir and use courier imap (squirrel mail works wel for web mail). webmin will serve you well but you should not expect to get away with naive and casual use of a mail server.

You should see some info in /var/log/samba (and /var/log/cups, if cups is in use), and, if not there, suspect a windows side error. It is not uncommon for windows to screw up when accepting jobs to be spooled from a samba/cups server. The first thing I usually check to see, on the windows side, is to make sure "bidirectional support" is enabled. Windows seems to lose this setting about every other job submission from samba and cups. The common pratice is to suspect windows first, and you will usually find your errors there about 97.5% of the time. Hope it helps, drjung -- J.

Re: [expert] IE & wine
I generally use either codeweaver's wine or transgaming's wine, for former because of the very nice tools for installation and setup (and it tends to work better for me than snapshots from winehq) and the latter for games - NOTHING beats transgaming for game playing ability. I have been able to get IE 4.0 to run under codeweaver wine, had mixed success with late 2001 versions of wine from winehq. Transgaming isn't very good at this sort of app in general. I haven't tried more recent snapshots from winehq. As for post-IE 4.0 versions and wine, I was unable to get any of them to work. IE 4.0 works fine except for the icons on the nav bar being blacked out. You may have better luck with more recent IE's with a recent wine...all I can say is try.

FWIW: I'm having the same problem on an older IBM PC. Irritating! I'm running MDK 8.2 on another PC at home, and it behaves perfectly. The difference may indeed XFree86 4.0. I'm running 3.x at home. I haven't tried it on the one that freezes up yet. Might be worth a try. Ric Want to buy your Pack or Services from MandrakeSoft? Go to http://www.mandrakestore.com

Re: [expert] Pinging Secure Mandrake
More than likely it is not an iptables ruleset but something like echo "1" > /proc/sys/net/ipv4/icmp_echo_ignore_all cat that file and see if its a 1 or 0. If its 1 thats what msec is doing.

I had this problem with mdk8.2 on my Micron Transport GX+ laptop. I finally fixed it by using XFree86 3.x instead of 4.x.

[expert] Calling all mkCDrec 0.6.4 users... MDK8.2 Working?
Hi, Has anyone managed to get mkCDrec http://mkcdrec.ota.be/project/download.html working under Mandrake 8.2? I've been trying over the last couple of days to get it up and running and so far I cant create a rescue CD or complete image. Rescue CD fails with Kernel Panic; Uncompressing... done. Freeing initrd memory:1212k freed VFS: Mounted root (ext2 filesystem). Journalled Block Device driver loaded SCSI subsystem driver Revision: 1.00 kmod: failed to exec /sbin/modprobe -s -k block-major-8, error = 2 VFS: Cannot open root device "" or 08:05 Please append correct "root=" boot option Kernel panic: VFS: Unable to mount root fs on 08:05 I've run through all the instructions and FAQ's but am getting no were fast. make test gives all OK make (option 1) runs without any errors, but does give Warnings were it cant find certain files/directories but nothing that seems to relate to the core system. I've added the following to /mkcdrec/Config.sh KERNEL_APPEND="mount=devfs" and DEVFS=1 If I don't use these then the rescue CD boot to a prompt but I cant issue and commands and there is a whole sequence of unresolved symbols errors relating to SCSI devices. I'm using the standard Kernel and this has; CONFIG_IDE=y CONFIG_BLK_DEV_IDE=y As recommended by the FAQ. IDESCSI is loading as a module and when I look at the mkcdrec.log it copy's; ide_scsi.o scsi_mod.o The only thing that does not match the documentation is CONFIG_BLK_DEV_RAM_SIZE=32000 (doc says should be 4096 or 8192) Any help appreciated.

If that variable happens to be a lock file and there is no process running then wouldn't you "want" to remove the lockfile. if you're concerned about removing a lockfile which is legal while a process is running then check for the process at the beginning of the script and if it is found then you can terminate the program, else, allow the program to complete.
