[expert] Can't get Zip drive to work. Can't get LICQ to work, possible permission probs..
Hello all and may I pull my hair out here? For the past week and a bit I've been trying to get my Zip drive and Licq to work. Licq will open and run OK from a root term window but nothing I can do or have done will allow it to run as normal user. I've reduced the security level, removed msec totally (and reinstalled when that made no difference), removed and reinstalled licq from the licq.org's rpm's changed perms on the executable in /usr/bin to rwx for everybody, removed and reinstalled from mdk rpm's and finally reinstalled the entire O/S. Result, same problem throughout. The Zip problem seems to be related, it won't allow me or any user access to the /mnt/zip folder.I've read all I could find and tried all the "fixes", disabled supermount, disabled devfs, changed the fstab entry all to no avail. My Zip is an iOmega IDE internal Zip 100 and worked OK with 8.2 and back. During some changes to the mount point and fstab I'd get a bad superblock, or too many mounted file systems type of error, changing back to original configuration results in "you don't have permissions to enter /mnt/zip".. These two thing are show stoppers for me and 9.0, anybody able to rescue me before the guy's with the white dinner jackets show up??

[expert] Scanner/Digital Camera Problem
Ok, it seems i've run into yet another problem. It seems that Linux knows that my Hewlett Packard ScanJet 3300C Scanner is there, and so too with my Intel Pocket PC Camera, but can't run either of them. Is it because I don't have any drivers for them? Whenever I try to go into my Scanner's properties, it asks for me to insert the 1st cd, and I do, and nothing happens, and my system slowly starts to freeze up. I am quite new to Linux, and HP doesn't have drivers for Linux, and neither does Intel. And XSane doesn't want to work either. Can someone help me out with this?

Re: [expert] arts not working in two displays at once
Hi, When you logged in on display 0, the system (pam -> devfsd, if I recall correctly) set you to be the owner of /dev/dsp (actually /dev/sound/dsp, /dev/dsp is a symlink to that), hence the Permission Denied. I think this could be fixed, but that would require giving at least group-wide access, which would mean that any user in that group would be allowed access to sound hardware (does DSP provide recording? Haven't tried). If you have lots of different users logging on locally while you're in and want everyone to have sound and all this to happen automatically and dynamically, good luck scripting :-) Put short: Yes, it's normal.

[expert] Using gcc 3.2: 'cc1' warning message
Dear experts, I am using gcc 3.2 (on ML 9.0) and I get a lot of warnings from cc1: cc1: warning: changing search order for system directory "/usr/local/include" cc1: warning: as it has already been specified as a non-system directory I understand this warning is caused by '-I/usr/local/include' in the compilation line. So, '/usr/local/include' must be a system include directory in gcc 3.2. Is there any way to suppress this message, or remove '/usr/local/include' from the default include list? A lot of packages I have to compile use '-I/usr/local/include' and it is a pain to deal with the flood of identical cc1 warnings.

Re: [expert] /mnt/removable
The camera is being detected as a mass storage device because that's the
fallback -- if the camera can't be detected as anything else, you can
always just mount the damn thing as a VFAT disk and pull the photos off.
Out of curiousity, have you installed the gphoto drivers? That might
help your system identify a camera...
I don't know how to make it not do that, but you can edit that library
file, find the section that's triggered by your camera, and change the
mount point there. Clearly the sections labeled camera aren't the
sections that are triggered by yours, so you might do well to focus on
other parts of the file.

[expert] proxy definitions
i'm experimenting with a perl module (lwp:simple) with the following commandline: perl -MLWP::Simple -e "getprint 'http://cpan.org/RECENT'" i'm going through a firewall and get the 500 error (paraphrased): 500 Can't connect to network.path.som:30080 (Bad hostname 'network.path.som') http://cpan.org/RECENT> i entered .som instead of .com. i found bad entries in /etc/profile.d/proxy.sh and .csh and corrected those but i'm still getting the same error. is there another place that mistyped name may be stored, or do i need to restart some part of networking to reread those files? if so, which deamon/program? thanks, joe Want to buy your Pack or Services from MandrakeSoft?

[expert] SDL problems
Apologies if this is the wrong place for this - but I posted it to the Newbie list first with -0- replies: --- Well, I didn't even know it but apparently I've got some SDL problems. Everything from my 8.2 CD's is installed, but whenever I try to compile something that requires SDL, invariably I get an error that says SDL can't be found. I went to libsdl.org and d/l'ed the latest RPMs' but if you try to install them there is a conflict. Go to remove the older version and there are 10,000 dependencies. Can I go ahead anyways and remove the old SDL stuff, (and of course, all the other stuff thats tied to it) then install the newest version of SDL, reinstall the software that was removed, and have it find the newer version? Anyone have this problem before and know how to fix it? Thanks PS One author says he has received complaints about Mandrake's SDL install being broke before and more than once, but its odd to me that games here like Chromium and Armagetron work fine, out of the box.

[expert] autofs not unmounting
Autofs in Mandrake 9.0 mounts drives automatically, but does not unmount them when timeout expires. They must by umounted manually. Anyone else can confirm this? -- Milos Prudek Want to buy your Pack or Services from MandrakeSoft? Go to http://www.mandrakestore.com
Re: [expert] Wish for 9.1
The one that allowed you to specify which help files where and would rebuild it's index on command. It could be used to search any text based document. I believe that was Mandrake 8.1.

Re: [expert] /mnt/removable
thanks for the info jack,
but this is so over my head!
i've looked in detect_devices.pm
i can see references to 'camera' which is what i would wish but i get
'removable' instead perhaps because whatever /\bcamera\b/i;
is isn't happening for me, what would be nice is turn all this auto stuff off
since it obviously needs more work,
i get a reference to a scsi removable disk in dmesg when the camera is
detected maybe that's where things go wrong,
how do i get my system to let me do things manually, every time i write an
fstab line for my camera it get's deleted!
and to think i only moved up to 9.0 'cos xmms got trashed!
bascule

Re: [expert] proftpd doesn't work ?
I had a couple of problems with proftpd. One was caused by dhcp and hosts/dns. When I got my naming and ip problems straightened out, proftpd started normally. I fiind it helpful to put a tail on /var/log/messages when I restart servers after reconfiguration. The second was I forgot to install proftpd-anonymous and tried to patch the config files by hand (Ben Reser pointed that one out to me).

Re: [expert] What is wrong with knotes?
Quoting Aleksey Naumov <[EMAIL PROTECTED]>:
I had similar problems with knotes starting with a fresh ~/.kde
Maybe, the problem exists in all version of knotes prior to KDE 3.0.4
For more info, see http://bugs.kde.org/show_bug.cgi?id=48556

[/quote]
I think an upgrade to KDE 3.0.4 for Mandrake 9.0 would be useful (the
addressbook also has a bug; column width for list display aren't saved on disk)
Hope this helps,
