Should be OK. The one I was running on my 8.2 boxes was:
OpenOffice.org-1.0-3mdk.i586.rpm
You could try searching for that specifically if you have problems
installing the RH package.

Re: [expert] Can't start licq as normal user.
Licq is working just fine for me. However, I did bring over my ~/.licq directory from 8.2. Can you show us what you see when you type licq&?

Re: [expert] Network Interfaces at boot time?
This may not be the most elegant way, but you could edit /etc/sysconfig/network-scripts/ifcfg-eth1 and change the ONBOOT parameter to no. Then when you want to bring up eth1, type: ifup eth1 When you want to undock the laptop, you can bring down eth1 first with: ifdown eth1 On Friday 11 October 2002 08:45 pm, John O'Shaughnessy wrote: > Greetings, > > I've got a Dell Latitude C400 with mandrake 9.0. > > There is: > 1.

Re: [expert] Network Interfaces at boot time?
John, There may be other ways to do this but I'd go into /etc/sysconfig/network-scripts and set ifcfg-eth1 where it says ONBOOT to no and then when I do need it just do ifup eth1 and bring it up manually.

[expert] error in a kernel-header file?
Hi,
can anybody here explain to me the rationale behind having
/usr/include/linux/videodev.h include fs.h?
This is done in kernel-headers in 9.0, but it's not done in stock 2.4.18,
2.4.19 or any of the pre-20 patches.
I've emailed cooker to ask about this, but nobody has responded [it's a 9.0
question, after all]. I was hoping that somebody here has both the time
and the knowledge...
There has been quite a discussion about this on the mjpeg-users list
because mjpegtools fails to compile due to this bug/feature(!). In fact,
the following program fails to compile on 9.0
#include
#include
int main()
{
return 0;
}
but compiles on the other linux systems that I have access to.
Narfi.

[expert] Nasty printing problem (cyan cartridge)
Dear experts, I hit this problem in ML 8.2 after I hooked up a local printer (HP 2000C), was not able to resolve it, now I have it once again after upgrading to 9.0. Problem: after adding HP 2000C color printer (the only printer on my system; at /dev/lp0) with HardDrake the test page prints fine. Then after 2-3 minutes the printer spits out a Cartrigle Level dignostic page showing cyan cartridge as empty, although it is entirely fresh. The cartridge is subsequentally unuseable and printer doesn't work right until it's replaced! Plugging a new cartridge does the same: first page or 2 ok, then empty cyan. And it's always cyan cartridge, no other. I already went thru 3 cartriges, hope I can recover them -- anyone knows how? This problem didn't exist in ML 8.0, printer worked fine.

Is possible with a 9.0 installed using a Voodoo3 3000 change the video card and install the new one or do I need to install again Mandrake 9, then the NVIDIa files and then the Config XFree86 files changes?

Re: [expert] Has anybody tried to install NVidia Drivers formandrake 9.0?
It's really easy. Just rebuild the src.rpm rather then install the premade rpms. As a rule, you will not be able to install the i586.rpm's unless you're using the same kernel, and unfortunately 8.2 uses a different kernel version then 9.0 :) Gizmo On Fri, 2002-10-11 at 15:53, Roberto Armenteros wrote: > Nvidia has drivers for MD 8.2 not for 9.0.

ATTEN TODD Re: [expert] ML 9.0 - postfix calls *all* connections "unknown"
THAT'S IT!!! Thanks, Radek, that was exactly the problem. I manually
installed those links, and it's now doing its lookups properly.
Todd at Mandrake: I did the "ATTEN TODD" thing in the subject line in the
hopes that you'd be sure to look at this. Just for the record, this is a
second case in the postfix rpm where links weren't installed. If you'll
recall, I mentioned earlier that the links to /etc/alternatives related to
postfix were not installed by the script that's supposed to execute. Now
this one. Please pass the information on to the development team so that
they're aware of the problem. Judging from this message (as well as a few
others I've seen), it doesn't look like I'm the only one that this has
happened to. Thanks.
Again, Radek, thanks for the fix!

Re: [expert] Iomega Zip not detected under v9.0
You are right, I tried it two days ago, unsuccessfully. But I was confused by the transformation of HardDrake into a GUI, and I assumed - well, that the detection of new hardware was suppressed, that harddrake only could display the existing hardware - so after some fighting, research, I finally understood. I tried again right now to set "devfs=nomount", without any more success. I searched in Google for "2.4.19 iomega zip" and I found this post http://www.van-dijk.net/linuxkernel/200218/0190.html it was for a kernel 2.4.19-pre8 with the answer of Alan Cox: "There are a few wrinkles to iron out on the serverworks side yet." As we are some people who have the Zip problem, and if nobody answered on this list, there maybe a problem in the kernel - maybe in connection with devfs (it was not stable recently : is it, now ?). I feel like posting in some of the kernel mailing lists. It woud be nice if somebody from MandrakeSoft gives his opinion.

Re: [expert] Iomega Zip not detected under v9.0
I have an atapi 250mb ZIP drive and I had the exact same difficulties. It seems to recognise it if I look in dmesg but no matter what I tried (and I asked around a lot too) the only thing that worked for me was changing the line 'devfs=mount' to 'devfs=nomount' in lilo.conf. Now I can use the drive without any hassles at all. I have absolutely no idea what problems may be caused by doing this but the only symptom I have seen is that my scanner icon doesnt appear automagically on the desktop when I switch it on.

I first installed the OS, configured and tested it; when everything worked (network, sound ...) then I installed the Iomega drive in the box and rebooted. And the Zip was not detected. I am listing below : the symptoms, several tests that I performed, and finally my configuration. 0 - the Iomega Zip is internal, 100 MB capacity 1 - symptoms * harddrake2 does not see the new device * the device is seen by the kernel : in syslog, I get hdc: IOMEGA ZIP 100 ATAPI, ATAPI FLOPPY drive dmesg shows hdc too 2 - tests - the drive itself works ! it was in an old 486 box running RedHat 7.1 : I just mounted the drive back in the 486 and started it : it works, I can mount it and read files on the zip. - my previous box was a P-200 with Mandrake 8.2 and kernel 2.4.18, a SCSI hard disk and another internal 100 MB IDE Iomega Zip : I learned there the ide-scsi configuration. On this P-200 both Iomega Zip work currently, with the ide-scsi driver. - I tried to configure the device by hand, first with the IDE driver, then with the ide-scsi driver: * IDE : declare ide-floppy in /etc/modules, and the corresponding line in /etc/fstab * SCSI, as IDE did not work : declare module ide-scsi in /etc/modules, add "hdc=ide-scsi" in /etc/lilo.conf, and add "/dev/sda /mnt/zip ..." in /etc/fstab. For both previous points : it's interesting : the kernel goes far enough : for sda for example : sda : block size assumed to be 512 bytes, disk size 1GB well, I don't know if I should bother about the "1GB". Anyhow, the drive is accessed - but when I want to mount it, I get (I did not write it down accurately) "wrong fs type, wrong option, bad superblock" in each case, IDE or SCSI. 3 - Configuration - the motherboard is from DFI (is this the error ?) www.dfi.com, model NB70-BC or NB71-BC, I cannot guess which of both it is : for NB70-BC, the Intel chipset is 845D, for the other one it's 845E. But Google shows noone using such motherboard in a Linux configuration :-( - the IDE controller, as returned by lspci, is Intel Corp. 82801BA IDE U100 (rev 05) - there are two IDE connectors, I have the hard drive and a DVD on the first one, the Iomega is alone on the second one, the jumper on Master position. - in the BIOS, the PIO/DMA selection is set to Auto - in the motherboard booklet documentation, they say: "PCI Bus Master Controller * Two PCI IDE interfaces * Supports ATA/33, ATA/66 and ATA/100 hard drives * PIO Mode 4 Enhanced IDE (data transfer rate up to 14 MB/sec) * Bus mastering reduces CPU utilisation during disk transfer * Supports ATAPI CD-ROM, LS-120 and ZIP" - the DVD is a Pioneer DVD-117 : not really present in the supported hardware list, but it works : one can notice that the installation went very smoothly, but when I logged in the first time, I did not see the drive any more ! I looked around, finally installed myself the driver "ide-cd" in /etc/modules, then I was able to mount and read CDs. But if I want to do a very large job : such as query all the rpms of an installation CD, I get plenty of errors if supermount is enabled; if it's disabled, there are almost no errors - but I am not sure that there are really no errors at all. If somebody has an idea, it would be nice !

"working with my ISP" is NOT clear proof that either or both parties understand the symptoms, the effects, etc... worse, _altering_ the problem by injecting additional traffic which changes what is being analyzed. Increasing traffic this way will only move you closer to the "avalanche" mode quicker -- it will not help you figure out the problem (unless you are looking for a one in which all-0s or all-1s is impacting the link). > > > "Tools" like this are unscientific and in an indirect way a DDoS > > attack on the network. > > And second, you assume that bing is in the same class as rape.c.

So, can you tell me why it would even be necessary to measure this link...? A DS-3 is (rounded) 45Mbps. If this is a *fractional* DS-3, I could see the interest in finding the speed; but I'd simply *ask* the ISP who **should** know how it's deployed -- especially when "working with my ISP" Besides, since you haven't found & fixed the problem, you can't say that the link is not just 2kb from avalanching... Do you know the characteristics of all the components involved in "round trip times"...? Here's a *partial* list: - available memory (sender, routers, target) - queue sizes (tx & rx) - buffer availability (tx & rx) - prioritization (sender, routers, target) - queue position ( " ) - traffic already on wire - bit transit time - bit insertion (gapped clock): time on wire is longer than packet size - packet size (changes RTT -- duh) - packet loss - retransmission - "avalanching" - accuracy of analysis "tool" - etc Generally, over the years, I've found this type of "tool" to be more of a hindrance in finding the root cause of problems... I can't recall the number of times I've found the "tools" to be bogus... > Thanks for playing! When it come to problems, I don't play... usually, I end up being called upon because there's more than one cause which the average troubleshooter can't figure out...

Sorry, I didn't follow this entire thread -- IIRC, the original poster wanted to know how to determine 10 vs 100 Mbps ethernet... Using tools like bing on a locally attached, personal link is one thing; using it on shared 'net resources is an abuse, IMO -- and the reason for my flame. ** just the facts... can't begin to tell you the number of problems where I've had to debug the reporter's analysis/interpretation *before* I could begin to debug the actual problem...

Thanks but no, it has nothing to do with my problem. I use telinit 5 as default runlevel, but still I like to do some things in a full-screen text console; so I do ALT-Ctrl-F1 (or F2-6 ) and log into a text console. When working on different versions of tex documents with vi, opened on different text consoles, I like to be able to highlight a piece of text with the mouse on one console and paste it into another; this needs gpm, but in 9.0 it won't work. Everything under X works fine, including KDE. Besides, this is not an upgrade, it is a fresh installation over a completely reformatted series of partitions. On the same disk I still have my original 8.2 which I will definitively abandon once I get everything in 9.0 working smoothly. -- Michele Alzetta Want to buy your Pack or Services from MandrakeSoft?

In _my_ MDK 9.0 installation, all the symbolic links to chrooted

If it is your case, rpm -ivh --force postfix-1.1.11-4mdk.i586.rpm
may fix it, or you can always create all the links by hand.

Re: [expert] LM9.0: Cups, Ghostscript printing pbm
I found out what the problem was: $ gv /usr/share/cups/data/testprint.ps was triggering the same "/invalid font in findfont" error. I reinstalled ghostscript-7.05-25mdk by doing: # rpm -Uvh --force ghostscript-7.05-25mdk.i586.rpm and all is ok now including printing...
