Re: [expert] A computer that won't install Windows.
I've been doing this since mdk8.2 .If this happen , you have to wipe everything on the with linux cd and then make it as a fat32 drive, Then go back to Windows DOS Fdisk and claim the who drive as single partition .Now you can reinstall Windows again and after that , you have to make sure that you defrag your Windows drive before you reinstall MDK9 again.

There are good reports out there on LM90 upgrading, and I do think that before you do the final format, it wouldn't hurt to give an upgrade a experimental try. The bad side of things is that there is SO much junk left on a working system from a prior install (/var logs, older configuration files, and many other things) that it makes more sense (to me) to go ahead and corral all the data that's really important and that *really* needs to go into the new install. If I had a system that was non-critical, such as my son's gaming platform, I would not think twice about doing an upgrade. Quick, easy, a time saver. But for my personal workstation, I like for it to be clean as a pin without the slightest bit of junk or useless matter laying around the filesystem. Upgrades would tend to insulate you more from the config files in /etc also (and home), which I don't like cause I feel insulated enough already. (GUI, wizards and other insulations) A virgin install forces me to look at configuration files that I haven't seen since the last install, and refreshes my memory on that stuff. I save a package list record on floppy of the last install (where I did a flat list selection) and then add new packages that might look interesting in 9.0. The older package selection floppy saves usually work just fine on newer LM distro versions. Just my wooden nickel...

When I quit for that day I deleted the copies. So, on both machines, hda has HPFS? How stable is the MVP3 machine when you don't touch MP3's, i.e. what happens when you copy a large file, f.i.? (My new line of thinking : since you boot fine and can even get into KDE, it is probably something specific about the load generated by reading the MP3s (disk I/O-->filesystem/IDE/PCI), decoding them (CPU/mem subsys) or the generated audio stream (SOUND/ISA). I'm leaving the direct SCSI route.) I'm reading the HPFS docs in kernel-doc and it is scary stuff (rather careless programmer) at the end (i.e. Bugs section) and the last entry (2.05 fixes) of the Changelog mentions quite a few crash fixes...how many more are still waiting? Therefore, what happens when you put the Tyan hda in the AOpen and try to listen to the MP3s on that machine? Does it also crash? What are the versions of the HPFS modules on the AOpen box?

[expert] Configuring Panels in 9.0
Dear all, It seems to me that a lot of the user-interactivity has been lost with Gnome 2. Most things have been automated and I can't see how to over-ride certain options - maybe I need more time to play! One thing I am trying to do is eliminate all Panels except one at the bottom for everything. This is how I had it set up in Gnome 1.4 under 8.2. I can't see how to do this without having a Menu Panel at the top with 'Mandrake' (i.e. the applications), 'Actions' and that thing in the top right where you can switch between tasks. I just want one Panel at the bottom with all my bits and bobs on it. I can then hide it so I have the whole screen to play with. Any clues/ideas would be appreciated.

That's fairly easy and it was the first thing I did after installation. Rightklick on the top panel and choose "delete panel" or whatever the option is in English. Then go to bottom panel and rightklick. Choose "Add to panel" and choose whatever you want to have there. I have (right to left order): clock. volume, terminal, vim, emacs, mozilla and that nice dice game of gnome for my 5 minute breaks, and gnome start menue, the one with the foot print.

I have installed X in my linux box. I didn't install KDE or GNOME. But I want to use "kword" program form my XServer. I have checked what all libraries 'kword" program requires using "ldd" program and had put all the required libraries in the library path. Now when I tried to run the "kword" program, I am getting the following error. "kdeinit: Communication error with launcher" Is it possible to use "kword" program by having only the libraries it require in the XServer without installing KDE??? I am having all the libraries that are required by "kdeinit" and "klauncher" etc... Thankyou and Best Regards, Sridhar Krishna. N. -- If Linux doesn't have the solution, you have the wrong problem.

A new panel will appear blank, but these can be added to _any_ panel by: i. right mouse button on panel - Add to Panel - Gnome Menu (which adds a 'foot' icon which pops up a combination of the Mandrake and Actions menus); ii. right mouse button on panel - Add to Panel - Utility - Workspace Switcher.

Re: [expert] are opera-users ?
hans, let me check it out on my machine at home this evening, I'm sure that opera needs libpng2. And that mdk8.2 didnt ship with libpng2, but libpng3, and that the work around was to take libpng2 and install that off the mdk8.1 disks. I'll need to check at home, but I think they coexist on my machine. If you arent sure wait and I'll check what versions of libpng are currently on my system.

Curiously it is on the last RedHat server in the house. I don't think there are any issues which would come up with Mandrake. We carry two local patches (one of them is moot) so changing requires a bit of effort. A lot of people are running FreeRADIUS and it has SQL support so that would probably be my first choice on a new system Both ICRADIUS and Cistron have worked well for us.

[expert] Openoffice in release 9.0
Hello Sorry If this question has been posted already, I only just joined the mailing list. In my recently installed Mandrake 9.0 system, I chose to install OpenOffice as well, but it is nearly unusable because the screen fonts are very bad. I run 1600x1200, and the characters preceding eachother seem to clash rendering the written text unreadeble. I tried to install it on another computer and had no problems. i have tried to scan for fonts in my windows system and use, for instance, Time New Roman, but it does the same. I even tried to force at larger character kerning in OOffice but characters on the screen still clutter/clash. It is the only application with these problems. Compared to the other comptuer I tried, the "system"-font i ooffice (in menus etc.) is also very ugly. I have tried to disable AA in office with the same lack of result. Does anybody have an idea as to what I can try? If you are unsure of what I am talking about I could post a small screenshot, but I would not before somebody needed it...

I decided to start all over again.
Installed Mdk9.0 from scratch, totally formatting over the old one.
The installation recognised my USB mouse and it worked fine.
The installation reached the network detection part, and I allowed it to
proceed. It detected my ethernet (intel) card, but not the speedtouch. I
selected the adsl option anyway, aswell as network card, to
install/configure. The NIC all went ok, the adsl -> alcatel failed due
to needing mgmt.o and told me where to put it.
I then booted into the new system, placed mgmt.o where it is supposed to
be, and went though internet configuration again.
Once again the NIC was recognised, and adsl not (tick in the box next to
the NIC option, no tick for adsl).
All the time, my USB mouse works.
Went into harddrake2 and my USB controllers are both there.
The alcatel is plugged into the same slot as it has always been. It
works in windows. And used to work in Mdk8.2.
The only difference between the current setup, and previous setup, is
that my partitions have all changed around a bit. But I see no reason
for this to make a difference. Also I now have a firewire card. Again, I
don't see why this makes any difference. But I have taken out the
firewire card anyway. So future trials will not be affected by it.
I really really, really really, am puzzled by this.
I've worn Alastair (thanks for so much help!!) out of ideas... does
anyone else have any?
Frankly.. I don't want to be stuck in windows :( help me!! save me!!
save my soul!! ;)

So future trials will not be affected by it. I've come to life again because I had problems with my setup a long time ago ... and, now that you mention Ethernet, all this sounds familiar. I have onboard Ethernet (3C905) and the Speedtouch, and there were some curious USB effects, right up to the USB bus not being recognised on boot (!), until I disabled the Ethernet in the BIOS. (It turned out to be unnecessary as I had been hoping for cable modem service, with an Ethernet connection, to happen; it didn't. As I don't use serial or parallel ports I disabled them as well for good measure). So, if Ethernet isn't strictly necessary, either remove the card entirely or disable it in the BIOS then run the networking wizard and _manually_ select the Speedtouch. (I don't trust auto-detection, and also run printerdrake by hand after installation because of a couple of lockups earlier with my rather cranky Z42). If the Ethernet has to be there, or this fails, I'm really stuck (promise) :) Alastair Want to buy your Pack or Services from MandrakeSoft? Go to http://www.mandrakestore.com

Here's some example emails: > Reloading httpd-perl: [ OK ] > Reloading httpd: [ OK ] > Reloading httpd-perl: [ OK ] > Reloading httpd: [ OK ] > Reloading httpd-perl: [ OK ] > Reloading httpd: [ OK ] > Reloading httpd-perl: [ OK ] > Reloading httpd: [ OK ] > Reloading httpd-perl: [ OK ] > Reloading httpd: [ OK ] > Reloading httpd-perl: [ OK ] > Reloading httpd: [ OK ] > Reloading httpd-perl: [ OK ] > Reloading httpd: [ OK ] > Reloading httpd-perl: [ OK ] > Reloading httpd: [ OK ] > Reloading httpd-perl: [ OK ] > Reloading httpd: [FAILED] > Reloading httpd-perl: [FAILED] > Reloading httpd: [FAILED] > Reloading httpd-perl: [FAILED] > Reloading httpd: [FAILED] > Reloading httpd-perl: [FAILED] > Reloading httpd: [FAILED] > Reloading httpd-perl: [FAILED] > Reloading httpd: [FAILED] > Reloading httpd-perl: [FAILED] > Reloading httpd: [FAILED] > Reloading httpd-perl: [FAILED] > Reloading httpd: [FAILED] > Reloading httpd-perl: [FAILED] > Reloading httpd: [FAILED] > Reloading httpd-perl: [FAILED] > Reloading httpd: [FAILED] > Reloading httpd-perl: [FAILED] > Reloading httpd: [FAILED] > In looking through the syslog, I see: Oct 1 04:01:00 gw CROND[22433]: (root) CMD (nice -n 19 run-parts /etc/cron.hour ly) Oct 1 04:02:01 gw CROND[22444]: (root) CMD (nice -n 19 run-parts /etc/cron.dail y) Oct 1 04:02:42 gw AESctl: httpd -USR1 succeeded Oct 1 04:02:42 gw AESctl: httpd -USR1 succeeded Oct 1 04:02:43 gw AESctl: httpd shutdown failed Oct 1 04:02:55 gw last message repeated 29 times Oct 1 04:03:21 gw : Oct 1 04:03:21 gw : Security Warning: World Writable files found : Oct 1 04:03:21 gw : - /lib/dev-state/log Oct 1 04:03:21 gw : - /tmp/.font-unix Oct 1 04:03:21 gw : - /tmp/.font-unix/fs-1 Oct 1 04:03:21 gw : - /var/apache-mm Oct 1 04:03:21 gw : - /var/spool/postfix/private/bounce Oct 1 04:03:21 gw : - /var/spool/postfix/private/bsmtp Oct 1 04:03:21 gw : - /var/spool/postfix/private/cyrus Oct 1 04:03:21 gw : - /var/spool/postfix/private/defer Oct 1 04:03:21 gw : - /var/spool/postfix/private/error Oct 1 04:03:21 gw : - /var/spool/postfix/private/ifmail Oct 1 04:03:21 gw : - /var/spool/postfix/private/lmtp Oct 1 04:03:21 gw : - /var/spool/postfix/private/local Oct 1 04:03:21 gw : - /var/spool/postfix/private/rewrite Oct 1 04:03:21 gw : - /var/spool/postfix/private/smtp Oct 1 04:03:21 gw : - /var/spool/postfix/private/uucp Oct 1 04:03:21 gw : - /var/spool/postfix/private/virtual Oct 1 04:03:21 gw : - /var/spool/postfix/public/cleanup Oct 1 04:03:21 gw : - /var/spool/postfix/public/flush Oct 1 04:03:21 gw : - /var/spool/postfix/public/qmgr Oct 1 04:03:21 gw : - /var/spool/postfix/public/showq ...followed by the log of it sending me the email.

What gives? I don't have a registered ssl cert for this machine, but one was generated upon installation and running of apache. This particular machine doesn't need it, so I've commented out the ssl stuff now, but is this ssl thing what took the webserver down during the cron job?

Re: [expert] gdm won't start: "error while loading shared libraries..."
As it turns out, I did have gnome2 installed, but ldconfig wasn't looking at /opt/gnome2/lib, where the needed file resided. I did "ldconfig /opt/gnome2/lib" and gdm is working fine now. However, now I have the problem that when I choose the GNOME2 session in gdm, it brings up IceWM instead. Same goes with KDE3. I had tried to install Gnome2 a while ago (like you said, it was a pain), so I thought maybe I had some conflicting packages. I ripped out a number of gnome-related packages to try and clean things up and am now trying to replace them. Maybe I cleaned things all too well... :) - Kathy On Monday 30 September 2002 04:15 pm, Randall Jonasz wrote: > I forgot you said you have 9.0 installed.

Make sure you allocate the time. It will probably be upwards of 2 hours depending on how many packages you have installed. It has to upgrade each one individually which is very time consuming and has a bit to do with your raw IO speed. If you have SCSI, it will be much faster than IDE (in general). Blue skies...

I need the NIC for internet connection sharing with another PC in the
house. A choice between 1 connected PC using mandrake, or two connected
PC's and stuck with windows.. I have to go for the latter. Else I'll
never be able to get on my own PC :(

Is there a file there by the name .uubugtraq.c? .bugtrac.c? .bugtrac? It *seems* like you are not getting exploited but seeing traffic of someone trying the exploit on you, but it's hard to tell. As far as the not restarting properly, my gut reaction is that one of your partitions ran out of hard drive space as it was rotating logs. The temporary file being gzipped might have filled space such that other temp files could not be created properly. Just a guess though. Blue skies...

Re: [expert] are opera-users ?
OK Hans, I have on my machine libpng2-1.0.12-2mdk (the original file from mdk81) and libpng3-1.2.4-3.1mdk. Both coexist without any probs at all (they have different enough names for all the files that make them up). Both were installed from mdk rpms.

Then check 'Open Office MySpell Spellchecker' then press Edit ... A window pops up but Open Office MySpell Spellchecker will appear unchecked (!); check it. Close all the windows, and hit F7. At the first mis-spelling a 'Spellcheck (English (UK))' window will pop up with suggestions. Obviously both checkboxes should be checked; the one in the pop-up window appearing unchecked seems to be an error. Alastair Want to buy your Pack or Services from MandrakeSoft?

SOLUTION! Re: [expert] Openoffice in release 9.0

Well, this was not the problem, as all fonts was mashed together. But I managed to solve the problem myself, og just wants to tell you about it should you enconter the problem. It seems that OO does not handle printer-resolutions which are not X times X, ex. 300x300 DPI. My printer (Brother laser 1470N) has a max-resolution of 1200x600 and this caused OO to distribute 50% too little space for each character, spacey!!! Any "homegenous" resolution (I chose 600x600) works just fine! Wierd, but it solved the problem! Thanks for all your (fast!) help! Best regards!

[expert] Emacs colors
I tried to find an answer in the archives but I was not able to. I, personally, do not like the color choice that is used for Emacs. However, I have not been able to find WHERE these default colors are defined and HOW to override them with my own scheme. Could someone point this to me? Thanks a lot in advance.
