Hi, usually, if you grab the src.rpm's from nvidia, and rebuild them, everything works fine (that's how I did it anyway)... Just make sure you've got the kernel-source rpm installed when you rebuild the src.rpm's Hans On Sun, 2002-12-01 at 09:10, Roberto Armenteros wrote: Hi guys, Has anybody tried installing the NVidia 8.2 drivers in their 9.0 machines?

[expert] 4 LAN cards
Hey Guys! Ok I have a box, acting as a firewall / router. All is good. It has 2 NIC cards in it of course Ok now I might be going way out, and maybe someone can tell me a better way to do this... I have 2 static IP's and I want them both to run into the same box. I want to put 4 NIC cards in the box. 2 (1 for each static IP) and 2 for non-routable. The reason for this... I want to have some mail servers and webservers on one network (192.168.0.1) and then have another network for the office (10.10.10.1) I would like to have my office people able to surf the net and be on a dif subnet then the webservers.. so no one monkeys around Is this a good way to do it? Anyone have any ideas? Thanks Dan Want to buy your Pack or Services from MandrakeSoft? Go to http://www.mandrakestore.com
RE: [expert] 4 LAN cards
yes, there is a better way.. you can have multiple IP's assigned to one ethernet card... so for example: eth0 = 203.59.87.254 eth0:0 = 203.59.6.252 eth0:1 = xxx.xxx.xx.xxx eth1: some other IP. eth1:1 another IP. I have a linux box with three network cards in it.. 1 is for the ADSL connection and hosting the live public IP's associated with it. 2 is for a 192.168.0.0/24 network 3 is for a 10.0.x.x network... using /etc/sysconfig/static-routes you can make the whole lot talk to each other.. rgds Frank -Original Message- From: [EMAIL PROTECTED] [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED]]On Behalf Of Belkie, Dan Sent: Sunday, 1 December 2002 8:58 PM To: '[EMAIL PROTECTED]' Subject: [expert] 4 LAN cards Hey Guys!

Re: [expert] lisa
You are right about the glitch in the docs. Anyhow, if you plan to run SAMBA on that ML 9.0 machine, you will need to disable lisa. The lisa package interferes with SAMBA's operation. On Saturday 30 November 2002 10:07 am, you wrote: According to kpackage, lisa is installed and is a kind of 'network neighbourhood' thingy with a daemon installed by ksysv. But 'man lisa' describes a lisajous figure drawing utility. Also: [root@small ron]# lisa [root@small ron]# NetManager::prepare: bind (TCP) failed, errno: 98 Stupid conflicts like this are not good.

RE: [expert] 4 LAN cards
Hi, I suppose you only have one DSL connection, connected to only one ethernet interface. It will be this interface's mac that's used for autenthication with your DSL provider. The other NIC's and their resp. MAC addresses are not taken into account for connecting your DSL. So, as long as your outgoing connection only uses 1 IP address, there won't be a problem, no mather wich and how many NIC's / IP's you use for your internal LANs. Of course, if you are provided with only one registered, public available IP address, you will use NAT to hide your internal configuration from the outside world. From your configuration, I think 3 NICs will suffice: 1 connected to DSL provider 1 for your office subnet 1 for your servers subnet Each interface will have a primary IP. Outgoing traffic to your provider will be masqueraded, unlike ip-traffic between your office and servers subnet. If you want to host a number of services on this router/gateway, you can choose to assign some more virtual IP-addresses to your internal interfaces (office/servers subnet). To control and protect the traffic, you have several options. Bundled with linux mandrake comes shorewall (9.0) - controlled with mandrake control panel, guarddog (don't know if it's in standard edition, mandrake packages are available on the developer's site) - provides it's own graphical user interface to control the rules, and a bunch of other tools from very low to higher level control.

Is there a special reason to have two DSL-connections? Bandwidth? Need two IP's? Problem is with the routing, especially if you want to use static routing to the outside: if you are going to use more than one route to the internet, you either will need a complex routing configuration, based upon a number of fixed criteria, or you will have to use a routing daemon. Once you were able to setup the routing using two public connected interfaces, you can setup connection sharing (aka masquerading) on these two interfaces. I guess you will have to stick with the commandline tools like iptables, cause the common setup mostly applies to one internet-interface. Regards, Lieven I will have two networks in the office.

RE: [expert] urpmi --auto-select Couple of new questions about urpmi and installing big apps...
That leads to a couple of interesting questions... 1. I have two dozen mdk 9.0 boxes around town.. and I have set most of them up to use the same urpmi sources. But its a time consuming process to do so.. is there some config file or directory that I can copy to the new servers to give them the same sources? (texstar, contrib, plf, updates etc)??? that would be very handy if I could just copy across some files and issue urpmi an update.. 2. All my mail servers use amavisd and a virus scanner to scan all main, (in and out.) for spam and virus's... now I'm using amavis-new which requires spamassasin, and both have need of a good many perl modules, and helper apps... Is there any application that I can use to create a shapshot of an installation process. (like installing all the requirements of spamassasin and amavis-new as well as the programs themselves.) so I can copy that snapshot to another mdk9.0 system and install the exact same snapshot? It takes ages to setup a fully functional amavis-new/spamassasin/Trend filescan mailserver. mostly due to installing many many perl modules.. (alot of which are not included in mdk9.0 and have to be compiled from cpan.) I'd love a way to automate it. Anyone got any tips on how I might do that??

[expert] IP alias. How?
Hello, I am trying to attach a second IP adress to my pcmcia network card in mandrake-9.0 which uses dhcp to connect to a router. It seems to be impossible to do this via the graphical interfaces: Mandrake Control Center - Network internet - Connection (- Expert Mode). If I use 'ifconfig' and 'route add' I have a temporary solution lasting till I logout. Where can I configure it to make it permanent. (I am still getting accustomed to the entries under /etc, slightly different than I am used to). Can I add a 'ifcfg-eth0:1' in /etc/sysconfig/network-scripts/ ? I have not been able to find any reference to 'IP aliasing' in the Mandrake documentation. Strange!

[expert] Apache Directive Question
I apologize to everyone who subscribes to both the newbie and expert lists. I posted this in newbie but I didn't get an answer and I was hoping someone on the expert list could help. I have been working my way through the O'Reilly book on Apache and I have run into a bit of a problem. I can't get a test website to serve up a default page but it works perfectly if I give it the starting page as part of the URL. A little background: I am actually testing this over the internet and using VNC to work on the linux box. I had a spare domain name so I set up my DNS servers for that domain to point to the linux box. I stopped Apache, wrote a simple conf file then started Apache with the -f and -d parameters. The httpd.conf file looked like this: LoadModule config_log_module /usr/lib/apache/mod_log_config.so User apache Group apache ServerName linuxserver DocumentRoot /usr/www/site.first/htdocs TransferLog /usr/www/site.first/logs/access.log I wrote this conf by looking at the way Mandrake configured Apache when it was installed as part of the OS (8.2) install. O'Reilly doesn't use DSO rather it creates one huge executable ... I like Mandrake's way better. I brought up several simple pages and was able to connect to them and display them in my web browser at home by entering a url like: www.testdomain.com/1.txt, where 1.txt is a document in the /usr/www/site.first/htdocs directory. This worked fine. I then brought up an example from the book that uses an index.html page placed in the /usr/www/site.first/htdocs directory. I changed my conf file to look like this: LoadModule config_log_module /usr/lib/apache/mod_log_config.so LoadModule dir_module /usr/lib/apache/mod_dir.so User apache Group apache ServerName linuxserver DocumentRoot /usr/www/site.first/htdocs TransferLog /usr/www/site.first/logs/access.log DirectoryIndex index.html If I enter www.testdomain.com in my webbrowser I get a 404 error. If I enter www.testdomain.com/index.html it display my page. From reading the Apache documentation, I thought index.html was the default and it would serve up the page without the directive; but it didn't, with or without the directive. BTW, I got the TransferLog directive working the same way ... copying the directives Mandrake put in the default page. Also, from reading the Apache documentation, I thought I would need a directive like AddModule mod_log_config.c but I got warning message when starting Apache with that directive in the config file. I took it out and logging works just fine without it. The Mandrake config file has it. Did I miss a memo on this?

[expert] Help!-System recovery chaos (a bit long)
Dear all,After having had an extremely stable system for a while now (MDK 9.0), I stupidly played around with the BIOS' power management features, and the system locked. So I had to hard reboot, and changed them back to what they were, thinking all would be fine...They system locked up again, with kernel error messages that were pretty cryptic (only hex numbers).My system is configured with several RAID5 partitions and a RAID0 partition. I booted with the failsafe kernel, and went into maintenance mode.Surely enough, checking /proc/mdstat, the RAID arrays were rebuilding themselves. Sounded good. Once they finished I unmounted them and did an xfs_check on each partition (except / and /usr) and no errors were found. I tried the restore booting from the installation CDs, but surely enough, because of the RAID setup etc, the partitions couldn't be found.Anyways, so I reboot again, and this time, it seems to be loading, and o-oh, what do I get? KDM with all "users icons" appearing in the box, and no background image (black screen). I thought this would be simple to fix so I proceed to try logging in.The system crashed I believe, so I did the above mentioned steps again. Next time, instead of trying to log into KDM, I went to one of the virtual consoles, and started GDM on another screet (:1 instead of :0). BTW, GDM is very nice. So I start KDE (for the first time for that user), and I get several siggfaults(?) and errors, but eventually the sytem starts up. There had been some error messages with the font server, so I thought that running the Xserver configuration tool would fix that. Another error I got was that .devfsd couldn't be found.I restart the Xserver on :0, and then I reconfigure KDM to only show the users I wanted to see, and chose the background. Surely enough the users displayed were changed, but no background yet... So I restart machine to see if everything is fine. This time .devfsd was mounted so that was ok, no error with X font server, so that seemed ok, but KDM has still no background. I try to log in, and I get the X window, with a smaller console window in the top left. Surely enough I can still log into GDM on :1 .My data seems to be all there... for safety I did another backup of the essential files (/etc and all my docs). When I was trying to archive the files, the console window was crashing... but eventually it worked. I had a few more lockups, and complaints about the scsi device not finding the block size or something (I assumed it was the CDR drive)I don't know what happened. fstab and mtab are fine, mdstat shows no problems, I have tons of data and although the most important stuff is backed up, lots would be lost. Because everything is in RAID configuration, I don't know if I can do the usual Mandrake Upgrade install trick would work.What I did to be able to post to the list was to change the /etc/sysconfig/desktop file to start GDM instead, and pop two random data CDs into the CD and CDR drives. Now I can log-in to the machine, and this time there was no error at all (everything seems fine). I don't know if KDM works or not, and I don't know if KDE works or not (GNOME is my default).And most importantly, I don't know how bad the sytem was affected, or how reliable it is. I am in the middle of final exams, so this is really not the right time for this to happen... but hey, it's Moore's law isn't it?I'd really appreciate your advice, what shall I do to ensure the system works, and to fix whatever might be wrong?gikorenoJoin Excite! - http://www.excite.comThe most personalized portal on the Web!

[expert] HELP: USB mouse configuration question
Hi there Iam usingMandrake Linux 8.3. Everythingwas fine until my PS/2 mouse port had some problems and didn't work. Therefore I bought a new USB mouse and it works fine under Win98. The problem happened after I boot and enter Linux.Beforeit entered X-window, Linux detecteda new USB mouse and asked me to choose the mouse type. Then, I followed the instructions and chose a type. However, after it entered X-window, there was still no mouse. I tried to configure the mouse under terminal mode using "mouseconfig" command. I tried differed mouse driver types and everytime after I modified the mouse type, I did restart the computer. Unfortunately, all my effort failed. I believed that " mouseconfig" didmodifty thesystem mouse configurationsince everytime when I enter "mouseconfig" , the last time mouse config modification was still there.

However, after it entered X-window, there was still no mouse. I tried to configure the mouse under terminal mode using mouseconfig command. I tried differed mouse driver types and everytime after I modified the mouse type, I did restart the computer. Unfortunately, all my effort failed.

Re: [expert] urpmi --auto-select Couple of new questions abouturpmi and installing big apps...
What would be helpful in a case like this is to be able to do what PLF did. (actually I got it from Ranger's site) but somehow a PLF CD was created that you install from as if it was CD1 and it contains PLF's rpms This gets moved into a new category called PLF (duh!) and then it hands off to disc ... continues the install and asks for PLF at the end, Even if it were just possible to redo disk 3 (there is a ton of room on it) You would then have the disks available and could create rpms of data files you need. Just my 2 cents. James On Sun, 2002-12-01 at 10:36, Hoyt Duff wrote: On Sunday 01 December 2002 10:43 am, Franki scribbled in crayon on a yellow legal pad: 1.

The following commands fixed this for me: update-alternatives --auto mta update-alternatives --auto ctags What is going on: In order to allow you to have multiple versions of the same program installed, symbolic links to the man pages and the executables are maintained. Take an example from my system: /usr/bin/gcc is a symbolic link to /etc/alternatives/gcc /etc/alternatives/gcc is a symbolic link to /usr/bin/colorgcc-3.2 Then, if I install another version of gcc in /usr/bin, say /usr/bin/gcc-3.1, and I want to access it as /usr/bin/gcc, I would change the link in /etc/alternatives. I.e. I would let /etc/alternatives/gcc point to /usr/bin/gcc-3.1. Regular users (like you and I) never worry about these symbolic links because they are handled automatically when we upgrade and downgrade our rpms. In this case, something went wrong with the symbolic link for these 2 packages and we had to re-run the script that handles these links. If you are curious, you can look at the files in the directory /var/lib/rpm/alternatives as well as man update-alternatives. I hope this helps, Narfi.

[expert] Installing SCSI-emulation to make cdrw work
Hi guys girls, I recently got a Sony cd rw drive and I am trying to use xcdroast with it. The first time I run this program, it gave me the error: Failed to scan the SCSI-bus. Either no permission to access the generic scsi devices of no SCSI support enabled in the kernel. For ATAPI devices you have to install the SCSI-emulation first. It suggests to check the CD-Writing-HOWTO but I can't find anything relevant in it. My drive is not SCSI, so I supposed I need to install the SCSI-emulation. If anyone has done this before, I would really appreciate some directions or suggestions on where I can find information to install it. Thank you very much for your time, Robert. __ Do you Yahoo!?

[expert] A win-processor!?!?!?
I've just installed Mdk 9.0 on an Athlon XP 1600+ 1.4 ghz machine. When I fired up X it took hela long (like 5 min!) for it to start. I tried everything I could think of and then eventually installed Mdk 8.2 overtop of it as an experiment. Sure enough, X is just as slow in 8.2 as it is in 9.0. I've set the system so that it has a whole Gig of space for swap so I don't think that this is the problem. My video card is an AGP Vodoo 3 2000 and it has worked fine on other machines running Mandrake. Now I've never owned an Athlon XP processor before and my greatest fear is that it is a Win-processor similar to other monopoly-ware fomented by M$ such as Win-printers and Win-modems. Say it aint so, because if it is, it means that the only way I can fix this is to get a hammer and make sure nobody else gets screwed by this particular processor. I'll do it too.

RE: [expert] urpmi --auto-select Couple of new questions abouturpmi and installing big apps...
I'll have to give some thought to this.. a shell script seems the most likely candidate... its a shame you can't export sources to a shell script from urpmi.. automate the process as it were, that would be handy.. guess it'll probably happen at some stage down the line.. rgds Frank -Original Message- From: [EMAIL PROTECTED] [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED]]On Behalf Of James Sparenberg Sent: Monday, 2 December 2002 5:48 AM To: Expert List Subject: Re: [expert] urpmi --auto-select Couple of new questions abouturpmi and installing big apps... What would be helpful in a case like this is to be able to do what PLF did. (actually I got it from Ranger's site) but somehow a PLF CD was created that you install from as if it was CD1 and it contains PLF's rpms This gets moved into a new category called PLF (duh!) and then it hands off to disc ... continues the install and asks for PLF at the end, Even if it were just possible to redo disk 3 (there is a ton of room on it) You would then have the disks available and could create rpms of data files you need. Just my 2 cents. James On Sun, 2002-12-01 at 10:36, Hoyt Duff wrote: On Sunday 01 December 2002 10:43 am, Franki scribbled in crayon on a yellow legal pad: 1. I have two dozen mdk 9.0 boxes around town.. and I have set most of them up to use the same urpmi sources. But its a time consuming process to do so.. is there some config file or directory that I can copy to the new servers to give them the same sources? (texstar, contrib, plf, updates etc)??? that would be very handy if I could just copy across some files and issue urpmi an update.. Why can't you tar /etc/urpmi and /var/lib/urpmi and install that tarball on each new machine? You could even write a .spec file to create an .rpm with them and install and update all the sources easily -- Hoyt http://www.MaximumHoyt.com/ Fix it until it breaks.
