Yes, that is correct. try taking your speaker wires on one channel and swapping them around.. But the same card, wire, and speaker combo works just fine under Windows and RedHat (or so he said).

[expert] DVDs and apt repository
Hello, I would like to ask, if there are some Mandrake 9.0 available for download (I know I can buy them, but I want to actually burn them for some friends). Is there an image in jigdo form similiar to debian's DVD images? Has someone created an unofficial image? When I buy an image, can I copy it to my friends or is the CD layout copyrighted? The second question is about apt-gettable contrib, cooker, 9.0 and updates repository. Is there something like this available? I love apt-get and I think urpmi has still long way to go. There are some apt-get repositories for redhat 8.0 (yes, apt for RPM is apt4rpm, I know Mandrake uses RPM and not DEB packages). Thanks in advance, Juraj.

Re: [expert] boot fail on install
et, Thanks for the reply. i just got this but I'm at work and I'll try this tonight when i geet home. I already tried to disable APIC in the BIOS setup with no effect. This morning I surfed to The VIA site (maker of the chipset used on this motherboard) which has a Linux BBS section. Browsing that section I found a few posts talking about problems with hangs (but mostly with systems that have successfully booted) when using a kernel 2.4.19 with this chipset and that kernel hackers have been complaining about hang problems with this chip set.

Lorne wrote on Tue, Oct 08, 2002 at 10:09:51PM -0700 : Thanks for the replies guys. I'll try that at work. I guess it doesn't default loaded. I just checked my 8.2 box and it didn't have the /dev/loop either. I did a modprobe loop and bam... there they are, so it is much more simple than I anticipated. My guess is that it will work on the 9.0 box at work as well. I could have sworn I tried that though arleady. Musta got sidetracked. One of the things that people should add to their thought processes is Do I have devfs running? which will then lend itself to a couple of extra steps. The way that devfs works (greatly simplified) is that it creates devices as hardware is needed. devfs knows due to configuration file /etc/devfsd.conf and individual files in /etc/devfs/conf.d/*.conf that when something tries to access a device, devfs will tell the kernel to autoload the module, which then has code to interact with devfs, which then creates the device files it needs. All this is done seamlessly to the user. devfs is also smart enough that if you just wanted to create your own device files, it would let you and save a copy of it in /lib/dev-state. Additionally, it will restore that file the next reboot because one of the first things it does is copy everything from /lib/dev-state to the now mounted /dev. When you stop thinking of devfs as a bunch of devices and start thinking of it being like /proc, it starts to make a little sense. Yes, I know it's not EXACTLY like /proc, but helps to put things in order in your mind. Blue skies...

Re: [expert] Can't see my new Mandrake 9.0 box on the network
Well FINALLY got to the bottom of this today. You will NEVER guess. NOTHING to do with Mandrake/linux at all. It was a corrupt profile on my NT 4.0 box! ?? I started seeing some other suspicious activity and on a hunch blasted my profile. Voilla! It works like a champ. Who would have thunk!

I rebuilt my box at work from scratch (I kept my home partition). Everything seemed fine until I attempted to do a samba share. I couldn't see the share. Went back to basics and I can't even ping it. Now get this.. The linux box is 172.22.76.15. My windows box is 172.22.76.89. They both have a subnet of 255.255.255.0, with a gateway of 172.22.76.1. Both can ping the gateway. Both can get out on the internet. I have found that the mac address of the linux box IS in the arp cache of the windows box, so that leaves me to believe that it is my linux box that is configured wrong somehow somewhere. Even wilder is they are on the same hub, so it sure can't be a misconfigured switch. What can I be missing in the config files on the linux box that would be causing this? I'm ready to start a packet trace tomorrow if no one gives me any ides. thanks in advance. Want to buy your Pack or Services from MandrakeSoft? Go to http://www.mandrakestore.com

[expert] Feeling good about 9.0 now for the small problems
Yeah I know always a complaint. a few things... One the fix of removing i686 libs immediately after glibc is installed makes the VIA CPU3 stand up and rock going to run bench marks on it this weekend and see what it can do. W HOOO!. Problems 1. on the Via CPU'd box If I use multiple backgrounds (one per desktop) the desktop doesn't refresh when is switch desktops it only refreshes if I open an app and then move the app around the entire screen. (same problem on this box using kde3 in 8.2 but not in 9.0) 2. How in the heck can I stop kde from asking if I want to open a url or file path in konqueror or mozilla etc etc every time I type one out or highlight one for cut and paste. 3. On my Celeron box using an ASUS TUL2 montherboard 512 megs ram Mandrake cannot recognize more than 16 megs of video ram even though BIOS is set to 64 megs. SuSe and RH both recognize the full 64 megs and allow me to have 32 bit color at 1280x1024 In MDK the best I can ever do is 16 bit color. IF I manually edit XF86config-4 to reflect the full 64 megs . X won't run. Any Ideas on any of these 3? (PS this occurs in 8.1 8.2 and 9.0 ) Thanks all. James Want to buy your Pack or Services from MandrakeSoft? Go to http://www.mandrakestore.com

[expert] Silly RPMdrake Question
Hi, I've never really bothered about this before but recently I was wondering. I've always noticed in rpmdrake (or variations therein) whenever I specify an FTP source for packages, I never see a summary or description. With the increasing reliance on off-Mandrake sources it would sort of be handy to see that these days, I was wondering if I'm being thick and missed something or if everyone else notices the same thing? -- Andrew George --- Your mode of life will be changed for the better because of new developments.
