Re: [expert] NFS permissions
showmount just showed everything exported to everyone. I have now removed the /data export and rebooted everything to see what happens. After this: # showmount -e server Export list for server: /public (everyone) /home/brian (everyone) and some more # showmount -a server All mount points on server: 192.168.0.253:/data 192.168.0.253:/home/brian 192.168.0.253:/public and some more /data still shows up on the -a list (but not on the -e list) after having been removed from exports and the server (and clients) rebooted. ...and of course if I put it back in exports and attempt to mount it, I get the same permissions error. Explicitly adding hostnames or networks in exports makes no difference. Seems like the /data export has been somehow corrupted in a way which persists between reboots. Is there some sort of cache on disk somewhere that needs to be flushed? I imagine that if I remounted the /data partition under another mount point and exported that, everything would work, but that's just avoiding the problem rather than understanding it, so I'd like to persevere for the moment. thanks for the interest!

In my experience there's no magic switch that will improve all software. There are specific things you can do for particular programs, or parts of programs, to give a boost, but nothing that works consistently. You can try looking here: http://www.suse.de/~aj/SPEC/compare-flags.html This shows various flags and the resultant change in some benchmarks. These are for Athlon processors. There are also differences in using different versions of GCC, but again, not consistent. Though gcc 3.2 seems to be faster in some things, it seems to be slower in others.

[expert] Alsa Sound snd-cs46xx with SMP kernel
Hardware: 1. Motherboard, Abit VP6 VIA Apollo Pro 133A chip-set 2. CPU, 2x1000Mhz Intel Pentium 3 3. Memory, 512 MB PC133 SDRAM 4. Slots: AGP, Matrox G550: Dual Head DDR 32 MB @ IRQ 16 PCI 1 - open PCI 2 - open PCI 3 Soundcard Turtle Beach Santa Cruz Crystal CS4630-CM chip-setset IRQ 17 PCI 4 NIC, Realtek Semiconductor RTL-8139/8139c IRQ 19 PCI 5 SIIG CyberParallel Port Controller Card IRQ 18 Software: Mandrake Linux Version 9.0 SMP Kernel with all updates running KDE Problem: The installed Mandrake 9.0 with the alsa driver, snd-cs46xx, for the Turtle Beach Santa Cruz sound card will freeze when opening the KDE windows manager. Requires a power off to gain control of the computer. Situation: The problem first occured when updating to the new ML 9.0 from a working 8.2 system. The update went without a problem, all packages installed correctly, up and until the first reboot. At the stage when starting the KDE windows manager the computer froze. The only way to get out was to turn off the computer at the power button or reset switch. This was attempted numerous times with the same results. We then replaced the Turtle Beach Santa Cruz sound card with a Sound Blaster Live! 5.1. After replacing the sound card the computer booted and ran without problems. We tried everything imagiable to get the card working with the alsa snd-cs46xx driver, tweaking the BIOS and various boot switches. Nothing worked with the Santa Cruz sound and the alsa drivers. One thing notices was in the /var/log/kernel/errors file: 1. "Oct 5 18:03:05 sword kernel: cs46xx: cs46xx_setup_eapd_slot() Failure to write the GPIO pins for slot 12". This was the only error that addresses the sound card. Present: Now running Mandrake Linux 9.0 with the OSS drivers, cs46xx Santa Cruz card. The system runs well with this driver. Question: Has any one with the same or similar hardware experienced this problem and what was the outcome? Why does the alsa sound drivers for the cs46xx not work with the smp kernel?

[expert] Compiler options for AMD K6-II 533Mhz
Hi All, Question: What are the best compiler options for compiling software in general, Garnome in specific for my laptop which is a Compaq 12XL125 AMD K6-II 533 Mhz 192 Mb RAM 30Gb HDD ? Background I have always heard, beleived that Linux is much faster than Windows. I have been using Linux (first Redhat, currently Mandrake 9) with GNOME since past 2 years on my laptop. But, I have always found Windows 2000 on my other partition to be much faster (with similar applications like Mozilla, OpenOffice pre-loaded) than Linux. Altough, I agree that I have seen quite a noticeable difference between Gnome 1.4 and Gnome2. I also compiled Garnome (currently 0.18.3) but still didn't find it anywhere near to my Win2K installation. From various newsgroups I also got to know that Mandrake is currently a better if not the best optimised distribution for older AMD, Pentium based machines. Unfortunately, it didn't look like it. OpenOffice/StarOffice don't start in the first go due to low memory and eventually startup since they would have bumped off (swapped) the other programs and would be having parts of it in the cache. Thus, XXXOffice would startup eventually after one or two tries. This makes me question the Linux Memory Management. Mozilla as distributed with Mandrake was slow as hell to start, scroll longer web-pages, etc. The one that I downloaded and installed directly from mozilla.org was much much faster. Again, Looks like Mandrake's compiler options weren't good enough for me ! So, Before I switch to a distribution like Gentoo, I want to try to compile Garnome using compiler options specific for my processor this time.

Re: [expert] Disable power-managment hi-jacking ofCtrl-Alt-Backspace?
This is one point I do have to give to M$ they do seem to be able to dynamically map around bad blocks on HDD's and ram a lot better than Linux or FreeBSD. As for the badmem tools I've never been able to get them running nor have I really taken a hard run at it. (I cheated and swapped memory with my wifes windows box) The other thing I have seen is that sometimes running mem at a slower speed works as well. (bad bit at 133 but not at 100). As for DDR memory... haven't got any so don't know.

[expert] NFS permissions
This evening I found an export from my server no longer available. # mount -a mount: server:/data failed, reason given by server: Permission denied The server log shows: Dec 3 23:50:51 cnc-server rpc.mountd: authenticated mount request from 192.168.0.253:709 for /data (/data) Dec 3 23:50:51 cnc-server rpc.mountd: getfh failed: Operation not permitted The line in /etc/exports says: /data (rw) Permissions and ownership of the directory are as they were and identical with other exported filesystems. All the other are working. The security level here is Standard (this is mdk 9.0) Any ideas out there on where to look? TIA Brian Want to buy your Pack or Services from MandrakeSoft?

[expert] Mozilla and sound - what's up?
I found recently that aRtsd on my main mdk9.0 workstation would gradually eat more and more cpu until it was consuming 30% and still going. So I stopped using it. Don't need it. XMMS is now using the OSS emulation to deliver sound and works just fine, but now Mozilla will stall frequently. If I stop the playback on XMMS, Mozilla springs back to life, so the connection is clear. I'm obviously on the "solve a problem - create a problem" loop here and don't appreciate having to interrupt the music to make a browser work, so if anyone has a suggestion about any of the above...

Vincent thanks for your help on this... It's one of the few (but most
infuriating) problems I've had with 9.0 (yes I've been luckier than
some) Would it be possible to post in the errata a list of what all the
links should be from alternatives. Then a kind of general "check this"
directive? I know for me the alternatives directory is kind of new.
Just a thought and thanks again for the help.

Same thing I found.. from /usr/bin/cpp to /etc/alternatives the link was
made but the second link from /etc/alternatives /usr/bin/cpp-3.2 didn't
get created... Thanks to all for the help.

[expert] problems with update-alternatives after upgrade [ was Re: Still problemswith Windowmaker]
Vincent Danen wrote: If I execute the exact same thing as %postinstall in gcc-cpp, I get the symlink properly created. Looks like something for an errata. Also looks like someone beat me to it. Ah well. Anyways, I've added this to the 9.0 errata since others may encounter the same problem. BTW, this isn't specific to the gcc-cpp packages: if you follow messages on these list, you'll see many complaints about broken links in alternatives (often one realizes this because of the error messages of makewhatis). I saw this myself with a number of packages after upgrading to 9.0 (e.g. postfix was screwed because it was missing the links) and I add to run manually the same update-alternatives that was in the %post script (of course postfix is just an example, I had to fix other packages manually but don't remember which ones now).
