RE: [expert] kcore file
Todd, That's just the command I am looking for. I have solved half the problem, I installed mldonkey after seeing it on this list, it was eating all my processor power (amd 1600xp) so removed it. It uses a directory in /var/cache so this had a couple of hundred meg in it, so I have solved half of the problem, but it is still higher than normal. With the new command I will have it licked tonight. Thanks all, Tony. p.s. Sorry for read receipts on some of my posts, I forget to turn them off for the list sometimes. -Original Message- From: Todd Lyons [mailto:tlyons;mandrakesoft.com] Sent: Monday, November 04, 2002 11:49 PM To: [EMAIL PROTECTED] Subject: Re: [expert] kcore file Tony S.

If /var is a seperate partition, then that has no impact on the amount of space being used on the / partition. What you need to do is see what space is used by different subdirectories but omit subdirectories that are their own seperate partitions.

Re: [expert] Problems with Sound Blaster Live!
Hi, I agree with Mikko. I think it is a hardware difference. I have tried restarting sound, rebooting and all the configuration I have found on mailing lists... no luck! I am posting the lspci -vvn and lspci -v output below and will try and contact Dell and Creative. Should I let someone at Mandrake know. Should I post something to harddrake?

[expert] automatic menu generation
Hi, I don't know what exactly I've done to achieve this, but since yesterday, Mandrake replaces my fluxbox menu by its own, autogenerated version. Actually, it's happened ever since I installed a windoze program through wine, which I allowed to put itself in the start menu. After the install, when I accessed my menu, it had become an autogenerated one, with the windoze app among it. So I replaced it with my own file, but then when I rebooted it had been replaced once again. I know I can solve this by pointing to another filename in ~/.fluxbox/init, but I'd still like to know what causes this... Any ideas?

[expert] Laptop harddrive wiring schematic..
Hi guys, I need to find out the pin config for a travelstar latop drive... (or any 2.5 inch laptop drive..) I just discovered (I think) the reason my M700 won't spin up the 20gig travelstar drive I bough, but will spin up older smaller drives (like my 6.4gig) The 6.4 is rated at 500 mili amps, and the 20 gig is rated at 1.0 amps, twice the power demands.. So if I can boost the power output to the drive, possibly by bridging from the CDROM power cable, it might boost it enough to get the drive working properly... Does anyone know what I can do to find out what the pin config is for one of these drives? as I understand it, these things use only 5Volts, so if can work out what the correct power wire is, I should be able to do the rest myself. any tips guys??? regards Frank Want to buy your Pack or Services from MandrakeSoft?

[expert] performance issues - named and apache
Under normal circumstances, one of my servers handles dns for 180 domains and apache about 100 virtual servers. Twice recently, once with 8.3 (cooker) and last night with 9.0 life turned sour. On a reboot, named loads zones very slowly - one every 20 to 30 seconds. Apache comes up broken in one way or another, last night it was PHP timing out on name resolution. In both cases cpu load was less than 0.2, memory was 25% of real memory and df never exceeds 50% for any partition. That is, the problem is not resources. Obviously, tasks are waiting for each other. An obvious fix is to put DNS on a separate server. Currently I have the server is doing DNS for its own domains. It shouldn't take too much of a machine to do my DNS. Another would be to get DNS to finish its load before starting other servers dependent on DNS. Is there a fix? Jim Tarvid Want to buy your Pack or Services from MandrakeSoft?

Re: [expert] package signatures
Hi Nicholas, Run a 'rpm --checksig package'. If it says something about missing keys, then you don't have the public key of whoever signed the package. You should do a 'gpg --keyserver www.mandrakesecure.net --recv-keys keyid' where keyid is the missing key id (just the stuff right after # please). If gpg doesn't complain, run 'rpm --checksig pagkage' again. Should be ok this time. Note that depending on your level of paranoia, simply trusting the keyserver might not be enough. Try to check by other means that the key is what it's supposed to be. In theory (could someone from within MandrakeSoft confirm, refute or provide a solution for this please?) one could create a gpg identity with name and email addresses such that others would think was a legitimate packager of MandrakeSoft, upload it to mandrakesecure.net keyserver and then build trojaned (or whatever) packages, sign them with the key and upload them to a public (compromised) server. Then the victims would do a rpm --checksig on it, see that they miss the key and then get it. RPM would be happy; the package was indeed signed with the key. The thing is, you see, that a valid gpg signature provides little security if you don't check that the key really belongs to the person / organization it claims to.

[expert] massive resource problem with Mdk8.2 system
Hi guys, I have a server that till last night had been up for 85 days without a problem. Last night I downloaded and installed the glibc and kernel updates for the box. (then I ran MandrakeUpdate and installed all the other packages that came up) (I had already updated ssl,ssh and apache) today, it bogs down after about an hour of operation.. its running the following: Samba cups postfix apache iptables pppoe Here is a report from TOP when I ran a cgi script (a simple one that just prints out html, no processing) like I said, yesterday, before the updates, the box was flawless... quiet zippy... even top shouldn't be using 30+ percent of the CPU...

[expert] diskdrake sucks
Hi ! First of all I want to explain my environment: I had 3 ntfs partitions (500MB, 10Gig, 800MB), 2 Fat32 Partitions (2x10 Gig),3 Gig ext3 for system, 5 Gig Reiser for home and a littlebit swap. Today I tought I didn't need that 800 Meg Ntfs and could delete it and make a ext3 out of that. So I started diskdrake and delete it, causing that all partitions got renumbered. Fine I thought, so diskdrake will rewrite my fstab too. After trying to make a ext3-partition on the 800 Megs of free space, diskdrake told me to restart in order to make the changes take effect. No matter I thought , do a reboot. The effects: - kernel panic on shutting down - kernel panic on boot starting rescue mode: - /-partition wasn't there anymore (was there but with filesystem 0xFF) - trough the renumbering all entries in fstab was wrong (looked at it before reboot, no matter here since I had at least to do a full install anyway) Now I did a new install and it works all... What I want to mention: diskdrake should not screw up my whole system, at least it should make the fstab entries right after changes in the partitiontable. Thanks god that my /home wasn't screwed.

It's happened once or twice on 9.0, but not as much as it used to. Like I said more of an annoyance than a problemHowever someone staring at my laptop the other day. (I'd just booted it) noted how long it took it to load. (It was fully loaded just the clock cursor on the screen.) 2. In 1024x768 mode you can't have 1 background per desktop in kde (havent tested the others you'll see why in a sec.). Larger modes the background will refresh but in 1024x768 it won't .(Most noticeable on my laptop since thats the largest it will do) Smaller has the same problems. Whuh? You mean the first backdrop is the only one you get? How about if you don't do backdrop pictures and just do colors, does it still act wrong? Yep. But if I move an application around the screen I can paint the proper backdrop. Note I can duplicate this on ANY comp I've installed. I usually operate at a higher res but on the laptop this is my limit. 3. I can't use anything but kde! on my laptop. and desktops. Oh I can log into by favorite ... WindowMaker. but it can't load the mandrake menu system doesn't do much good to have a desktop without a menu. Gnome has trouble saving to the home directory some of the settings and it seems to be breeding Icons as well. xcfe and fvmm also have problems loading the mandrake menu. Now this is sad... we should pass a hat :-) I know I get all upset if XFce quits working and I have to log into KDE, make some phone calls, take a walk, my goodness hasn't it started yet? Anyway, XFce has modules which pick up the menu from GNOME or KDE when starting, so that would fix your problem. Not sure if similar exists under wmaker, but if you're really desparate I suppose parsing /usr/lib/menu/* is an option. Can't run this from X and if I try it from a tty it won't run. I can't get to a term window. I need a menu to get to a menu. grumble. 4. On my laptop only (Compaq Armada M700 with a Lynksis 10/100 Etherfast PCMCIA Nic) the ssh connections are slow as molasys. Web surfing ftp etc happens at normal speed. (even over the net, on cable here) but when ssh'd into a server on my LAN or any of a number of other ones I've been on it's like packets get transmitted in bursts. Then for a few seconds it's normal then back to the slowdown. Could there be traffic shaping going on? Shorewall's default config helps ssh rather than hindering it, but it could have been tinkered with. Really though, that sounds like a network issue -- I'd expect that there's a switch between point a and b which has a misconfigured port. I would suspect the same except that it happens in about 5 or 6 different locations so far. (business the laptop goes where I go.)

In theory (could someone from within MandrakeSoft confirm, refute or

The thing is, you see, that a valid gpg signature provides little

Re: [expert] diskdrake sucks
And yet curiously, when you run DiskDrake, the first message you get is an injunction to ensure that your data is backed up o Anytime you decide to re-partition or resize your drive(s) you are dicing with (disk) disaster. It is pointless to complain afterwards about the effects of a repartition/resize not working as you expected. It is certainly possible, using partition Magic, for example, to resize and repartition disks and partitions containing live data -and it works (sorry maybe that should be 'AND IT WORKS!' to convey the appropriate level of incredulity) The fact is that spreading files across disk partitions just for ordinary, everyday usage is a major feat of engineering. Expecting to be able to tinker with those layouts risk free is perhaps more than a little optimistic. At least you retained your /home directories. regards Daryl On Tuesday 05 November 2002 4:52 pm, you wrote: Hi !

Annoying but not problematic. Not that this is a fix, but I've seen this whenever running KDE-influenced apps without the KDE DCOP server running... it gets all confused. It's happened once or twice on 9.0, but not as much as it used to. Like I said more of an annoyance than a problemHowever someone staring at my laptop the other day. (I'd just booted it) noted how long it took it to load. (It was fully loaded just the clock cursor on the screen.) well, this is why there are so many choices for a given task in Linux -- because 25% of them are going to be poor fits, 50% won't work right, and the remaining 25% can be tweaked to fit :-) I can't help but note that KDE is the common thread. The backdrop thing could be X, but X would behave oddly in other WM's too, I'd think. 2. In 1024x768 mode you can't have 1 background per desktop in kde (havent tested the others you'll see why in a sec.). Larger modes the background will refresh but in 1024x768 it won't .(Most noticeable on my laptop since thats the largest it will do) Smaller has the same problems. Whuh? You mean the first backdrop is the only one you get? How about if you don't do backdrop pictures and just do colors, does it still act wrong? Yep. But if I move an application around the screen I can paint the proper backdrop. Note I can duplicate this on ANY comp I've installed. I usually operate at a higher res but on the laptop this is my limit. 3. I can't use anything but kde! on my laptop. and desktops. Oh I can log into by favorite ... WindowMaker. but it can't load the mandrake menu system doesn't do much good to have a desktop without a menu. Gnome has trouble saving to the home directory some of the settings and it seems to be breeding Icons as well. xcfe and fvmm also have problems loading the mandrake menu. Now this is sad... we should pass a hat :-) I know I get all upset if XFce quits working and I have to log into KDE, make some phone calls, take a walk, my goodness hasn't it started yet? Anyway, XFce has modules which pick up the menu from GNOME or KDE when starting, so that would fix your problem. Not sure if similar exists under wmaker, but if you're really desparate I suppose parsing /usr/lib/menu/* is an option. Can't run this from X and if I try it from a tty it won't run. I can't get to a term window. I need a menu to get to a menu. grumble. so you're saying xfmenu won't run?? It's a module, not a standalone -- you load it by checking boxes on the last tab in the xfce configger (choose an XFce session, then click the paint palette in the bar). 4. On my laptop only (Compaq Armada M700 with a Lynksis 10/100 Etherfast PCMCIA Nic) the ssh connections are slow as molasys. Web surfing ftp etc happens at normal speed. (even over the net, on cable here) but when ssh'd into a server on my LAN or any of a number of other ones I've been on it's like packets get transmitted in bursts. Then for a few seconds it's normal then back to the slowdown. Could there be traffic shaping going on? Shorewall's default config helps ssh rather than hindering it, but it could have been tinkered with. Really though, that sounds like a network issue -- I'd expect that there's a switch between point a and b which has a misconfigured port. I would suspect the same except that it happens in about 5 or 6 different locations so far. (business the laptop goes where I go.)

It is certainly possible, using partition Magic, for example, to resize and repartition disks and partitions containing live data -and it works (sorry maybe that should be 'AND IT WORKS!' to convey the appropriate level of incredulity) The fact is that spreading files across disk partitions just for ordinary, everyday usage is a major feat of engineering. Expecting to be able to tinker with those layouts risk free is perhaps more than a little optimistic.

Today I tought I didn't need that 800 Meg Ntfs and could delete it and make a ext3 out of that. So I started diskdrake and delete it, causing that all partitions got renumbered. Fine I thought, so diskdrake will rewrite my fstab too. After trying to make a ext3-partition on the 800 Megs of free space, diskdrake told me to restart in order to make the changes take effect. No matter I thought , do a reboot. The effects: - kernel panic on shutting down - kernel panic on boot starting rescue mode: - /-partition wasn't there anymore (was there but with filesystem 0xFF) - trough the renumbering all entries in fstab was wrong (looked at it before reboot, no matter here since I had at least to do a full install anyway) Now I did a new install and it works all... What I want to mention: diskdrake should not screw up my whole system, at least it should make the fstab entries right after changes in the partitiontable. Thanks god that my /home wasn't screwed.

As soon as it goes back over an application it seems to work just fine. Annoying but not problematic. Not that this is a fix, but I've seen this whenever running KDE-influenced apps without the KDE DCOP server running... it gets all confused. It's happened once or twice on 9.0, but not as much as it used to. Like I said more of an annoyance than a problemHowever someone staring at my laptop the other day. (I'd just booted it) noted how long it took it to load. (It was fully loaded just the clock cursor on the screen.) well, this is why there are so many choices for a given task in Linux -- because 25% of them are going to be poor fits, 50% won't work right, and the remaining 25% can be tweaked to fit :-) I can't help but note that KDE is the common thread. The backdrop thing could be X, but X would behave oddly in other WM's too, I'd think. 2. In 1024x768 mode you can't have 1 background per desktop in kde (havent tested the others you'll see why in a sec.). Larger modes the background will refresh but in 1024x768 it won't .(Most noticeable on my laptop since thats the largest it will do) Smaller has the same problems. Whuh? You mean the first backdrop is the only one you get? How about if you don't do backdrop pictures and just do colors, does it still act wrong? Yep. But if I move an application around the screen I can paint the proper backdrop. Note I can duplicate this on ANY comp I've installed. I usually operate at a higher res but on the laptop this is my limit. 3. I can't use anything but kde! on my laptop. and desktops. Oh I can log into by favorite ... WindowMaker. but it can't load the mandrake menu system doesn't do much good to have a desktop without a menu. Gnome has trouble saving to the home directory some of the settings and it seems to be breeding Icons as well. xcfe and fvmm also have problems loading the mandrake menu. Now this is sad... we should pass a hat :-) I know I get all upset if XFce quits working and I have to log into KDE, make some phone calls, take a walk, my goodness hasn't it started yet? Anyway, XFce has modules which pick up the menu from GNOME or KDE when starting, so that would fix your problem. Not sure if similar exists under wmaker, but if you're really desparate I suppose parsing /usr/lib/menu/* is an option. Can't run this from X and if I try it from a tty it won't run. I can't get to a term window. I need a menu to get to a menu. grumble. so you're saying xfmenu won't run?? It's a module, not a standalone -- you load it by checking boxes on the last tab in the xfce configger (choose an XFce session, then click the paint palette in the bar). That's part of the problem... it errors out then as well. Which really sucks as I'd like to use vnc over the net at times and a lightweight manager like windowmaker or ice or XFce are preferable. 4. On my laptop only (Compaq Armada M700 with a Lynksis 10/100 Etherfast PCMCIA Nic) the ssh connections are slow as molasys. Web surfing ftp etc happens at normal speed. (even over the net, on cable here) but when ssh'd into a server on my LAN or any of a number of other ones I've been on it's like packets get transmitted in bursts. Then for a few seconds it's normal then back to the slowdown. Could there be traffic shaping going on? Shorewall's default config helps ssh rather than hindering it, but it could have been tinkered with. Really though, that sounds like a network issue -- I'd expect that there's a switch between point a and b which has a misconfigured port. I would suspect the same except that it happens in about 5 or 6 different locations so far. (business the laptop goes where I go.)
