RE: [expert] w2k shutdown from mdk

2002-11-22 Thread Franki
Two functional answers, one sorta funny, one serious.. :-)

1.
Don't patch the IIS server of the offending win2k machine..

then use the nimda hack to send cmd.exe a shutdown signal...

thats sorta clean...  :-)

2.
Or you could setup ssh server on the win2k machine (google is your friend.)

then write a script on the linux box, to log into the win2k machine and send
it a shutdown signal...

There might be an easier way. (like using the telnet server in win2k) but
ssh is safer and more secure.

Hi all,

Does anybody know how to shut a w2k box down remotely from MDK9.0 (needs
to be a clean shutdown).

Thanks,

RE: [expert] CLI app/script for activating modem

2002-11-22 Thread Franki
wvdial is really easy and a good intelligent app for modem connecitons..

99 percent of the time it gets it right with no config..

all you have do to is install wvdial, then run: (as root)

touch /etc/wvdial.conf
wvdialconf /etc/wvdial.conf

(make sure your modem is on and connected.)

it should find your modem, interrogate it, and write the init string etc to
/etc/wvdial.conf

edit that file yourself, and add your phonenumber, username and password
where appropriate...

then whenever you want to dial up.. just open a console and type:  wvdial 

you could put a shortcut on your desktop and use it from gui as well..

or put it in /etc/rc.d/rc.local to start it at boot. (just don't forget the
 at the end if you do that.)

[expert] [newbie] kdm fails back to failsafe

2002-11-22 Thread Milos Prudek
After using Mandrake 9.0 with kdm for a month without any problems, kdm
suddenly does not allow any window manager and always runs failsafe window.

It could have happened after unclean shutdown, but I'm using reiserfs
journaling.

I was able to run kdm configuration from KDE control center and create a
default kdm config, but it did not help. I also tried to delete the 
entire contents of /tmp, with no effect.

Is there a log file I could investigate, or any other way to
troubleshoot this, short of uninstalling kdebase.rpm ?

[expert] start proxy when connection comes up

2002-11-22 Thread pesarif

hello,

i'm using a 28k modem (with kppp) and i'm using a proxy server (squid) to 
share the internet (please do not suggest NAT or DHCP because the proxy was 
much easier to set up! :-).

the problem is that squid requires the IPs of the NDS servers from 
/etc/resolv.conf. i have many isps so the only way that squid can find out 
the IP of the dns server of the current isp is for it to be started as soon 
as my internet connection comes up via kppp.

is there a way to do this (start squid after i've connected to the internet) 
via adding a line to a script (e.g. service squid start) or something?

thanks in advance,
pesarif

Just a guess, I've never had a laptop. I've often read that they use 
underclocked cpu's tho. Its appears you've basically got a p2-400 core 
which normally runs at 100 FSB x 4.0 multiplier = 400mhz.  So the 92mhz 
you're seein appears to be the FSB for a p2-366, ie, 92 x 4 =~366mhz. I 
suspect this results in an underclocked PCI bus also, ie, 92/3 = 31mhz
I believe this is this case for most all mobile proccessors.

[expert] Connection sharing

2002-11-22 Thread Praedor Atrebates
I am running into a bit trouble trying to setup connection sharing on an 8.2 
system.  I have tried using the DrakConf connection sharing wizard but it 
fails to work for me.  In any case, I cannot share the connection in the way 
it wants to set it up.

I have a modem connection to the internet and a wireless connection between my  
desktop and laptop.  The thing is, my laptop HAS to be the wireless AP even 
though it is not the gateway to the internet in this setup because my laptop 
has a prism2-based wlan card that can use the hostap driver.  The desktop has 
a linksys USB wlan device that cannot use the hostap driver.  I do not 
believe it is possible to setup an ad-hoc wlan network that can network 
share.  Thus, my laptop wlan card is the AP running dhcpd assigning an IP to 
the desktop's wlan device but the desktop has the modem and has to act as the 
gateway to the internet.

How do I do this?  Setting up a shared connection with the wizard tries to 
make the desktop act as both the dhcp server (and thus AP) and the inet 
gateway.  

On the laptop I set the ip to 10.0.0.1 and setup dhcpd to give 10.0.0.5 to my 
desktop.  This works and I can communicate and file transfer between the two 
systems via wlan.  What I cannot do yet is make a modem connection to the 
internet on the desktop and then access the internet, period.  Even though I 
am connected to the net neither the desktop nor laptop can access it thus 
far.  Something is not setup right somewhere but I am at a loss to correct 
it.

Can anyone here advise me?

If you just want to start from a blank browser window (what I use as well) you

 in the address bar then go to the button marked WindowConfigure View

[expert] Odd network situation

2002-11-22 Thread Praedor Tempus
I was misled.  I was informed that one could not share an internet connection 
through an ad-hoc wlan connection.  I have found I was wrong/misinformed and 
it is possible.  At this point I am only partially sharing, however.

I changed my wlan connection from my laptop to desktop to be ad-hoc and they 
are connected.  I have been trying to setup iptables so that I can share the 
connection on the desktop but oddly, it only appears to be partially 
successful.  I am sending and receiving email but I cannot access the web.  
Any attempt to ping a host from my laptop ends up in Destination 
unreachable strings (unless I am pinging my desktop directly).

What is needed to get this working?  What on the desktop and on the laptop 
must be done to finally bring a fully shared internet connection to fruition?  
I don't understand how I can be able to send email and receive email (via my 
local postfix MTA) but not access the web.

[expert] Odd network behavior and slow kde apps

2002-11-22 Thread Praedor Atrebates
I have been trying to get connection sharing working between my desktop and 
laptop computers.  I was misinformed about not being able to do this via a 
wlan ad-hoc connection and am trying it that way.

My desktop (Mandrake 8.2) has a WUSB11 v2.6 wlan device and my laptop a 
prism2-based card, both connected in ad-hoc mode:

desktop eth0 ip (usb wlan device): 192.168.1.1
laptop wlan0 ip: 192.168.1.5

The desktop has a modem (ppp0) and is connected and working.  The laptop is 
managing to get emails via fetchmail but it nonetheless cannot access the 
internet otherwise.  If I try to ping yahoo.com, slashdot.org, etc, it 
produces destination unreachable messages.  

I have been trying to setup iptables to work this with no success so far.  
Additionally, my desktop takes FOREVER to start KDE apps now that I am 
connected to the internet and running an ad-hoc network.  It is not due to 
load or memory shortage (Lots of RAM, Athlon 1100).  None KDE apps start up 
practically instantaneously.  This behavior has only started since I began 
trying to connection share so there is a config problem somewhere causing a 
slowdown with KDE app startup.

Can someone help me with getting iptables properly setup to NAT my ad-hoc wlan 
connection described above?  I have been following instructions and reading 
websites on this but so far nothing I've found addresses this situation close 
enough to apply. 

Thanks for any help that can be offered.

Well, it now appears that all is right with the world.  I managed to get my 
wireless connections between desktop and laptop up and running so as to allow 
both machines to connection share a dialup account from the desktop.  I also 
got my KDE slow startup problem resolved (my desktop hostname isn't yet valid

 The default Shorewall configuration is setup for an ethernet card

 This link provides a proper configuration:
 http://shorewall.net/standalone.htm

Thanks -- I'll look at this; but my point to Mandrake is still that this
is a laptop that:
- worked on a LAN
- worked on a dialup
- would not work on a LAN again until I found that shorewall came into the
picture SILENTLY*

* and NO, /var/log/{messages,syslog} does NOT count as notification -- how
many people expect to have networking DISABLED by simply switching from
LAN to dial and back to LAN...

 Hopefully future Mandrake releases will configure Shorewall during
 install. Wouldn't want dial-up users to give up on Mandrake when there's
 no Internet connection.

My problem was not going to dialup; it was going back to LAN...

BTW, I also got some screen captures of MCC claiming I was connected; yet
there were NO cables hooked up...  The M in MCC does not stand for
Linu*s*, RedHat, Suse, etc...

I'm on a tight schedule until the end of Dec; and this did not make me
happy at all...  so sorry if this sounds too harsh; but shorewall shoved
between my back pockets was a tad harsh too, IMO.

Anyway, while I can get around these issues by myself, I hope there will
be more thought given to those who can't if Mdk still intends to target
new users...

Sort of looks like a hardware problem. I have run SCSI for several years and 
the last time I saw that sort of message, one of the hard drives had messed 
up. Your message implies several hard drives on the controller. I would first 
try going to one HD programmed as device 0 (zero) and double check the cable 
connections, termination, etc. Do not assume anything about the SCSI chain. 
Try an older version of LM, like 8.1 or 8.2 (in case a sever software bug

tks, Mr Larry.

I checked the sites you refered, but did not still quite figure
out (partly because of my poor English?) the way bash works the
way it does. To make things simple, just take up one case here.

$PS1=u   -4  returns \u

the 1st \ escapes the 2nd \, and the 3rd one to the 4th one
likewise.

So  $PS1=u is something like $PS1='\\u' ( which actually
returns \u, not user name.

It seems to me that when bash handles $PS1='\\u', 1st \ escapes
the 2nd one and  $PS1='\\u' seems equal to $PS1='\u' which
returns user name.

How shell recognize $PS1='\\u' and how shell return \u, not a
user name?

Re: [expert] Procmail spam filter recipes?

2002-11-22 Thread Albert E. Whale
It is my Understanding that you need to set the
PMDIR = {directory of Procmail Storage info} - i.e. /var/Procmail
JFDIR = {directory of Junkfilter Binaries} - i.e. /var/Procmail/junkfilter

You can set these variables in the .bashrc scripts, or in a NEW Script called
/etc/profile.d/common.sh - which will get executed on each login.

I also place the original jf command (subsequent versions have been converted to
use the Make create command), in the /usr/bin directory with a link to the
actual application.

Hope that helps.

Re: [expert] Unexpectedly Dies - LM 9.0 - SCSI Problems?

2002-11-22 Thread Albert E. Whale
Thanks for the feedback Tom.  I'm not sure if it's the Drive or the Controller
going bad.  The Root Partition is normally hacked when this occurs and requires
fsck to reset the partition info.

Previous versions of LM (all the way back to 6.0) have been rock solid.  In fact
I helped debug the Fast Wide Differential SCSI drivers for the Slackware
version.  I've not had to deal with Modular Kernels, as I prefer to build a
Customized Kernel and restrict the introduction of Martian Modules on the Server.

I appreciate your assistance.  I'll keep you posted.

Re: [expert] Procmail spam filter recipes?

2002-11-22 Thread Praedor Tempus
Hmpf.  

I have/had procmail working on my system.  I have a directory: $HOME/.procmail
which contains a link to $HOME/.procmailrc.  I read the somewhat confusing 
directions in the README with junkfilter and elected to install the 
junkfilter files in /usr/local/etc/junkfilter.  I created a symlink in my 
.procmail directory to the junkfilter directory, ie, ln -s 
/usr/local/etc/junkfilter $HOME/.procmail/junkfilter.  I created a directory 
in .procmail called lists which are for my user-specific lists.  I set 
JFDIR=$PMDIR/junkfilter and JFUSERDIR=$PMDIR/lists in my .procmailrc and 
in my .bash_profile.  I was then able to build/make the filters (make create 
and make all) which filled my .procmail/lists directory with a load of empty 
user files.  The jf binary is executable and resides in the junkfilter 
directory plus I followed your example and made a symlink to it in /usr/bin.

I added INCLUDERC=$PMDIR/junkfilter to my .procmailrc.  I've been watching the 
procmail log in my .procmail dir and see whenever a new message is handled 
by procmail.  It just isn't doing anything.  I have set my mailer to display 
ALL headers and I have sent myself fake SPAM messages using keywords and 
combinations included in the junkfilter filters (Please read and the like).  
Nothing I've done leads to any message having any header information altered 
or added to indicated that junkfilter looked it over and passed a judgement.  
None of the fake spams have received any X-IS-SPAM additions and neither has 
any of the real junk I have stored and resent to myself.  

There are no error messages and the procmail log indicates everything is 
OK...but it isn't.

 Hmpf.

 I have/had procmail working on my system.  I have a directory: $HOME/.procmail
 which contains a link to $HOME/.procmailrc.  I read the somewhat confusing
 directions in the README with junkfilter and elected to install the
 junkfilter files in /usr/local/etc/junkfilter.  I created a symlink in my
 .procmail directory to the junkfilter directory, ie, ln -s
 /usr/local/etc/junkfilter $HOME/.procmail/junkfilter.  I created a directory
 in .procmail called lists which are for my user-specific lists.  I set
 JFDIR=$PMDIR/junkfilter and JFUSERDIR=$PMDIR/lists in my .procmailrc and
 in my .bash_profile.  I was then able to build/make the filters (make create
 and make all) which filled my .procmail/lists directory with a load of empty
 user files.  The jf binary is executable and resides in the junkfilter
 directory plus I followed your example and made a symlink to it in /usr/bin.

 I added INCLUDERC=$PMDIR/junkfilter to my .procmailrc.  I've been watching the
 procmail log in my .procmail dir and see whenever a new message is handled
 by procmail.  It just isn't doing anything.  I have set my mailer to display
 ALL headers and I have sent myself fake SPAM messages using keywords and
 combinations included in the junkfilter filters (Please read and the like).
 Nothing I've done leads to any message having any header information altered
 or added to indicated that junkfilter looked it over and passed a judgement.
 None of the fake spams have received any X-IS-SPAM additions and neither has
 any of the real junk I have stored and resent to myself.

 There are no error messages and the procmail log indicates everything is
 OK...but it isn't.

[expert] MDK 9.0 introduced occasional crashes of the X; how to debug?

2002-11-22 Thread Peter Møller Neergaard
After upgrading from Mandrake 8.1 to Mandrake 9.0, I'm now regularly
experiencing (like every 2--3 day) experiencing that my X server
crashes.

I have checked the logs in /var/log and the only two lines are a one
from kdm saying that the session ended unexpectedly and one from pam
saying that the session terminated.

Unfortunately, a new X server is launched immediately so I cannot see
what was written last in /var/log/XFree.0.log.

What can I do to trace the cause better?

About my system: I am running on a Dell Inspiron 4100 laptop.  I have a
Nvidia GeForce2Go card.  I experience the crashes both with Nvidia's
nvidia driver and with the open source nv driver.  So it is not so
likely that it is a problem with the driver.

I am now running XFree86-4.2.1-3mdk.  Before upgrading from 8.1 to 9.0,
I ran XFree86-4.2.0-10mdk.  Should I try to downgrade?

Are there other suggestions?

Thanks in advance

Peter

variable promptvars is set (set by default, see shopt). This explain the
small number of \ in the display prompt compared to what you used in the

 successful.  I am sending and receiving email but I cannot access the web.  
 Any attempt to ping a host from my laptop ends up in Destination 
 unreachable strings (unless I am pinging my desktop directly).

Because if you look carefully at the client, it is trying to ping the IP
address directly, which that IP address does not have its own wireless
connection.  Why?  Because you are using adhoc.  Your client doesn't
know that it should treat the ad-hoc connection as the gateway.

The fix for that is to make another network segment.  The obligatory
network diagram:

  192.168.1.1 (Network Card)
   | ---
 -- -- |  --| Local LAN |
|  |   |  |v |  | 192.168.1.0/255.255.255.0 |
| Internet |---| Firewall |-----
|  |   |  |--
 -- -- ^ |   ---
   |  --| Wireless LAN  |
   || 192.168.2.0/255.255.255.0 |
   | ---
  192.168.2.1 (WLAN Card)

Configure the wireless LAN card to do connection sharing for 192.168.2.0
and make all wireless devices use 192.168.2.1 as the gateway.

 I don't understand how I can be able to send email and receive email (via my 
 local postfix MTA) but not access the web.

I would guess your local MTA is using the MTA on the firewall as a
relay or it is the final destination (which will work).

If the devfsd support is not enabled in the kernel, it won't start

   All this has been the case for me while movin from 8.x to 9.0 to 9.1.

if I created a new user it worked I've yet to find out what did it
and where the setting was/is. Even moving my evo directory to the side

up.  Then removed all of the gnome directories.  Still didn't show up.

So I moved /home/james to /home/james2

created a directory /home/james/  that was blank.  

restarted X and logged into the box. (so that all the right files got
created.)

started evo ... to create base file. and then enabled the dictionary
that I can now see

cp'd files from the james2/evolution directory to the new evolution
directory one by one  checked to see if the dictionary was still
there each time.  It was ... In fact I got all the way through the

How close, in actuality, should the performance be between playing in

error or to the java installation itself.

RE: [expert] UT2003 and linux

2002-11-22 Thread JOHAM,DAVID (HP-Boise,ex1)

From what I've heard, the Linux drivers are actually better than the Windows
drivers.

My theory is that somehow your GLX and/or OpenGL drivers are still Mesa. Did
you install the NVIDIA-GLX RPM as well?

I have a similar system and TuxRacer is really smooth.

I would try to rpm -ivh --force both the nvida kernel modules and the glx
rpms again and see if that fixes it. If that doesn't work, then try the
following:

find where the nvidia glx .so's are being installed. You can do this by
opening up kpackage and inspecting the file list.
in you xfree config file, rather than saying load glx say load nvida glx
path/libglx.so
my nvidia drivers are located in /usr/X11R6/lib/modules/extensions

Also, I assume you're using XFree 4.20 and *not* 3.x. If you're using 3.x, I
don't think you can get the 3d working with the nvidia cards.

Good luck!

David

:-) Yes, I got the splash screen. I know when the nVidia drivers
aren't working becuase TuxRacer is simply unplayable. But it's
a-rockin' right now.

By the way, here's my relevant system info: 1.1GHz Athlon, 1.0 GB
RAM, and GeForce 4MX 460.

How close, in actuality, should the performance be between playing in
Winsux and Linux? Is it possible that my XFree needs a tweak? Might
UT need to be called up with special parameters? Is it possible that
UT2003 is not using the nVidia drivers despite the fact they're
there? I doubt this last one because the play is smooth until it's in
the middle of really heated play.

RE: [expert] video Streaming with Mozilla

2002-11-22 Thread JOHAM,DAVID (HP-Boise,ex1)

You can do a google search for plugger which may work for you.

I've also had a great deal of success with CrossOver Plugin which lets you
use quicktime and Windows Media Player.

If the streaming video is realplayer, you can get a plugin from Real which
should work for you.

Best regards,

David

Just adding to the thread. If you use RedCarpet are you not stuck to
using it for regular upgrades for patches etc. As RedCarpet will use
Ximian Gnome libraries, you are now dependent on Red Carpet.
My 2 cents. It makes good sense for Corp Customers.

In my case, I changed a few weeks ago my old Voodoo3 3000 for a Creative 3D 
Blaster Titanium. First of all I installed the 2 rpms of Nvidia; then I run 
XFdrake and the video-card started to run inmediately; just I had to add some 
lines in the XF86-Config4 file to have the tv-output runing.

UT2003 demo is runing absolutely incredible!!

[expert] Broken Java support in Mozilla

2002-11-22 Thread Walter Rogers
After reviewing Mozilla Bug #116444, it appears that java support in 
Mozilla with Mandrake 9.0 is broken. Has to do with Mozilla compiled 
with GCC 3.0 being incompatible with java 1.3 and 1.4.0. Take a look at:

http://plugindoc.mozdev.org/linux.html#Java

I need to view many sites with via a browser that has a working java 
plugin. Does anyone know of a working Mozilla v1.0 or greater that is 
stable and can run existing java plugins in Mandrake 9.0? How about 
another browser while the sun / mozilla people work around this problem?
