 I would like that Mandrake 9.0 had similar guides included in the manual;  
 lots of newbies would be very happy to see such a manual. 

The simple explanation is written in the first sentence on that
DVD-site you just sent me to:

Due to patent and copyright issues, Linux distributions cannot include
all the software that is required to view most Hollywood DVDs.

Programs and other things which cannot be included in the distribution
are not subject of the manuals.

Re: [expert] iptables : bad option ...

2002-10-22 Thread Daniel J. Cody

Hi Hans -

What you're trying to do is actually a pretty common setup, which is 
good, cus there are lots of examples. To save yourself some time, there 
is a program that ships with mandrake called 'draknet' and could be 
really helpfull for you. Its a nice utility that will walk you through 
setting up a masquerading setup and firewall, and allow you to share 
your internet connection with machines on the internet network. It will 
also set up DHCPD for you on the internal network (which i'm not sure 
why anyone would recommend against) so your internal network 
workstations won't need to be manually configured. On top of that, it 
will let you specify some firewall rules, and set up a decent one for you.

Its more or less a front end to iptables, and once you've got the rules 
set up, you can look at the iptables configuration you have and go from 
there. Good luck, shout if you have more questions :)

[expert] Mandrake Documentation glitch

2002-10-22 Thread Sandeep Khanna

Hi All,

I am not sure if this is the right list to send this. But, I would
really appreciate if anyone could forward this to the right list meant
specifically for Linux documentation, Mandrake in particular. I came
across the following while reading the Mandrake Quick Server Setup
documentation as supplied with Mandrake 9. I was reading about
installing and configuring the postfix mail server.

The first step is to check that the Postfix server is installed on your
computer. If it is not, please use the *rpmdrake* application or type
*urpmi apache* in a terminal to install it.

It seems a copy and paste from the previous section of Apache was done
pretty negligently !!

From what I have seen and experienced so far, the most IMPORTANT thing
Linux needs now is good DOCUMENTATION. Windows, Mac, all of them have
excellent user documentation thus making the user feel at home and not lost.

KDE has done a better job in this area with the question mark in the top
right corner of almost every window like M$ Windows. GNOME still lacks
good documentation support.

I don't intend to start any arguments or flames on this. This is just in
the common benefit of the Linux community.

Cheers,
--Sandeep

[expert] busybox kernel panic can't boot anymore

2002-10-22 Thread Jan Hendrik Mangold

Experts

yesterday I tried to integrate the swsusp beta14 into the 2.4.19-16mdk 
kernel (Mdk9.0). The coompilation went well, but when I tried to boot 
the new kernel I get a busybox: unresolved symbol refrigerator and 
then insmod failes apparently for ext3 and modprobe fails to exec and 
the kernel panics because no init can be found.  So I think the / 
filesystem can't be mounted. I read that swsusp does not work with ext3 
so I changed the fs to ext2.

My big problem is that all my other kernels (based on 2.4.19-16mdk) 
won't boot anymore either. I have to boot from cdrom and then I can 
mount and chroot my disk disk no problem.

Can this have to do with the initrd images?

Any pointers how to solve this are welcome.

Thanks
Jan

I am unable to debug threaded programs in LM9 using GDB or

A quick search reveals that LM7.2 had this problem due to system

LM8.2 I have verified is not stripped.

Is installing unstripped libraries the correct solution to

or should I be linking to unstripped development libraries.

What is involved in generating the required unstripped libraries

[expert] autofs not unmounting

2002-10-22 Thread Milos Prudek

Hi,

I was looking forward to use supermount but it does not work very well 
in Mandrake 9.0. Details in separate post. So I tried autofs.

Autofs in Mandrake 9.0 mounts drives automatically, but does not unmount 
them when timeout expires. They must by umounted manually.

auto.master:
/mnt/etc/auto.drives --timeout=20

auto.drives:
zip -fstype=vfat,user,rw,umask=7007 :/dev/sda4
cdrom   -fstype=iso9660,ro,nosuid,nodev :/dev/scd0
floppy  -fstype=vfat,user,rw,umask=7007 :/dev/fd0
win -fstype=vfat,user,ro:/dev/hda2

fstab:
/dev/hda6 / reiserfs notail 1 1
/dev/hda1 /boot ext2 defaults 1 2
none /dev/pts devpts mode=0620 0 0
/dev/scd0   /mnt/cdrom  iso9660 noauto,nosuid,ro,user   0 0
/dev/fd0/mnt/floppy noauto noauto,nosuid,user   0 0
/dev/hda2 /mnt/win vfat noauto 0 0
none /proc proc defaults 0 0
/dev/hda5 swap swap defaults 0 0

This autofs problem did not appear in my previous Linux systems.

Anyone else can confirm this?

that's screenblanking (not related to your screensaver) of your X server

Since it works fine for me on 8.2 with a 2.4.19 kernel that I built myself, 
you could try that route on 9.0.

Giving up supermount is not an option if you happen to play games, native or 
via wine, and they require CD changes.  Supermount allows you to change CDs 
on the fly without wrecking the session while old manual mount/umount screws 
it up.

Hopefully, a subsequent kernel update will fix supermount (again).

I´ve checked the image files checksums before burning them on a CD and they were

Someone in the list is using a SPARC Ultra 30???

[expert] DNS problems on 9.0

For project reasons I've installed a DNS server on my gateway/router 
using techniques that worked on the previous version of Mandrake. 
Specifically I'ld been following the instructions in O'Reilly's book on 
DNS  BIND. Now that I've installed Mandrake 9.0 on the server my 
cleints can no longer ping the server using it's name. I've tried it 
with and without shorewall and currently have msec removed from the 
system to eliminate the added complexity of troubleshooting it as well. 
The cleints are getting the DHCP info just fine as per this info from 
one of the cleints (Note: This is an XP client but the problem is 
identical on a Linux client):

The DHCP config was generated by the wizard and the named.conf also and 
are pretty standard in this regards... so why don't I have DNS? It is 
mandatory on this small home network because it is a pilot cluster 
project albiet a simplified one designed to abstract a more complex one.

Oddly enough, Mandrake 9.0's Internet Connection Shareing is working 
just fine and although my cleints cannot ping the DNS server by name, I 
can still write you this email through a web browser on an XP client.

Is it possible that my DNS queries are being highjacked by Internet 
Connection Shareing and tossed out onto my ISPs network? This would be bad.

Answer: No. See below.

So the problem is that I cannot ping the server but I can indeed reach 
the clients.  I'm thinking that the wizard is not properly setting up 
the *.db file.

have you tried do edit that file using VI?

bind is (or used to be...) somewhat picky about control characters at the end of

use VI, but go to the end of lines, delete the control characters... As far as I
remember you cant use CR+LF, just CR.

VI does only CR, some editors put CR+LF (DOS EDIT.COM style) and it cause some
erros in *NIX control files.

I agree.  My specialty is clustering not security, mainly
because the organizational computing overlords are pretty territorial
about it. ;-)  As a consequence, I wasn't sure how to go about double
checking.

As requested (all executed as root on the nameserver/gateway):

Note: I ran host enigma.microverse.net from a client and got a negative 
response (i.e. no such animal).  I would past the exact error but I 
don't have connectivity estblished between that partition and this and 
the floppy keeps mounting read only.  Will fix this later, first things 
first.

 Hmmm.. Can you send the whole file? It's probably failing earlier,
 realizes that it can't go, then doing a clean exit. Look for missing
 libraries or failed writes in the output. It could be something as
 simple as a missing font.

Very good.

If you have in /etc/resolv.conf nameserver 127.0.0.1 it should be

This means it goes through each of the targets from top to bottom only
stopping when it matches one.  In your case, it's getting all the way
down to the LOG and reject chain, so we have to modify one of the
targets to allow those udp port 53 packets through.  However, look at
the first rule.  The ACCEPT target is saying accept everything (that is
not a very good first rule to have :-/ ) however, I would like to see
the exact rule to see exactly what it should be seeing.  So at this
point, I'm fairly confident saying that the firewall is allowing port 53
requests in.  That can be verified by looking in your /var/log/messages
for any line that starts with Shorewall:INPUT:REJECT: and lists udp
port 53.

 Chain OUTPUT (policy DROP)
 target prot opt source   destination
 ACCEPT all  --  0.0.0.0/00.0.0.0/0
 ACCEPT icmp --  0.0.0.0/00.0.0.0/0  state

 level 6 prefix `Shorewall:OUTPUT:REJECT:'
 reject all  --  0.0.0.0/00.0.0.0/0

The reply packet will be coming from port 53.  It's likely that your
reply packet be blocked if the targets in this chain don't explicitly
allow it.  Again, look for Shorewall:OUTPUT:REJECT: in the log file
saying that it blocked udp port 53.

 Chain common (5 references)
 target prot opt source   destination

 DROP   all  --  0.0.0.0/0192.168.1.255

In this chain would be a possible place to be to allow udp port 53, but
don't do it there.  Look further down.

 Chain loc2fw (0 references)
 target prot opt source   destination
 ACCEPT all  --  0.0.0.0/00.0.0.0/0  state

See there?  That's supposed to be enabling port 53.  The problem is the
first line says that there are zero references to it.  If you make the
INPUT chain use target loc2fw, then your problems should be

[expert] LCD/CRT question

2002-10-22 Thread ccosse

Hello, i'm in a bit of a bind: i've upgraded to 9.0 and just
discovered that my crt/lcd toggle on my laptop no longer
works. I have to give a presentation this week and need
to project onto a screen. It used to work with 8.2. Can
anyone shed some light on this problem?

(it's a Gateway solo 5350 and the bios settings don't seem
to be having any effect anymore -- at least not the crt/lcd
ones).
Thanks for your help,
Charlie

Re: [expert] Acomdata 40GB USB 2.0 hard drive

HoytDuff wrote on Tue, Oct 22, 2002 at 01:57:44AM -0400 :
   Thanks for the quick reply, Todd. I'm thinking of buying one. $99 at my
   local CompUSA store.  
   It's USB 2.0 so it should work rite? Any trick?
 I picked up one. It is detected as /dev/sda
 It needs to have a prtition table created and a fileystem installed.

I'm connecting to a USB 1.x port, so it's slow, but it does work.  I
went ahead and got the 80 Gig one.  I got a USB 2.0 hub and I'll be
connecting it to a USB 2.0 machine soon and testing.  I am pretty sure
which would be better, but answer the following for me.

Which would be faster (assuming a 100 megabit network):
1) Connect the drive to a USB 1.x port and copy locally.
2) Connect the drive to a machine with a USB 2.0 port and copy across an
NFS mount.

I'm pretty sure #2 will be faster, but we'll see :)

 A train stops at a train station. A bus stops at a bus station. This explains 
 the problem with my workstation.

This is one of those quotes that elicits that evil laugh.

[expert] proftpd doesn't work ?

2002-10-22 Thread Rodrigo Sanchez Olavarria

Hi experts !
  I have been trying to install ProFTPD from my new MDK9.0
distribution, but it doesn't work  ...
When I used gnome RPM to verify proftpd-1.2.5.. , one problem
was found in /etc/rc.d/init.d/proftpd file ...:
md5, file size, modification time 

When I shutdown or reboot my computer, the daemon says FAILED to
shutdown proftpd ...  ..
I downloaded from linux-mandrake.com the package again, but the 
problem persist ...

I'm wrong ? proftpd ?

[expert] hot-swap breaks raid-1

2002-10-22 Thread Norman Zhang

Hi,

I took out a hot-swap SCSI HD and re-insert it back in. But RAID-1 breaks.
The following were found in

/var/log/kernel/errors

How do I fix RAID-1? It also breaks samba too.

It will fail to shut down if it wasn't running.  I think your problem is
that it is not starting properly.  For proftpd to run, DNS and hostname
configuration must be properly configured.  If you have a madeup name
for your machine that does not resolve in DNS, then proftpd will not
start unless you configure the proftpd configuration file in /etc.
