Re: [expert] Increase of Capital for Mandrakesoft
WB. I just ordered a few boxes for resale and a request for warrants which is about what I can do for the immediate term. Near term, demand generation is probably the key. It's past time for a Mandrake 9.0 party. We keep an image on the LAN and we might snag a few folks to come in and get the GPL version. We are pretty good at installations which we can offer as a service including stuff like phpGroupWare and osCommerce. Does anyone have a litany of Mandrake services which might encourage businesses to bite?

If it works OK for you, then you might consider purchasing a permanent license from them like I did. I found great inconsistencies in performance and functionality across all the sound drivers that are supplied with the kernel. As a result, it affected how well many of my friends could make recordings of stuff they were playing back. I could do it with my aureal drivers, but many could not duplicate my results. I have known about 4front for a long time and gave them a try. 4Front OSS drivers provide a consistently performing interface across a wide range of sound cards. The feature that really sold me was the loopback recording functionality. This allows just about anyone to use their soundcard to record incoming sound streams. The support from 4front is really good. Even if youre using the trial license, they will make sure that it gets working for you if you encounter any problems.

Re: [expert] problems with java
Most likely, you're using Kaffe, the JRE that Mandrake installs by default (you can verify this by typing 'java -version'.) It doesn't support the -X options (which are non-standard anyhow), or Swing (I think) which most java applications (as opposed to applets) need these days.

Re: [expert] KDE and wine--Sound?
Hmmm. I meant soundwrapper (which I tried both with the winex command and wineserver--which I assume actually runs the program...) Soundwrapper, btw, does work for other non-KDE apps, like Doom Legacy. I just tried "artswrapper", and it doesn't seem to be doing anything useful. Mostly it just complains that artsd is already running. :) Any other suggestions?

Re: [expert] ksirc changing ircname
sirc is a pretty wack client, as I believe the IRC kiddies would term it :-) I used to have a pretty nifty set up where you could go to a webpage which would run JTA with the SSH plugin and log you in as a special user whose shell was a script that ran sirc and connected to the ircd at localhost. Voila, instant encrypted IRC. Unfortunately sirc was quite ill-behaved under such circumstances. It and JTA kept disagreeing about window size and fonts and terminal emulation. I tried to get BitchX going instead without success, and then everyone switched to IM so I just turned it off. Still, the JTA trick is a nice one to remember if you want to present a console app. On Mon, 2002-12-23 at 11:45, bascule wrote: > hi jack > > i believe it is a front end yes, when it starts it says welcome to sirc or > similar, i looked at xchat, this gives me the option to set ircname and > ircuser before i connect, ksirc allows you to set 'realname' only > with xchat i logon and i'm shown as i wish, this applies to all servers i log > on to, if i use /set ircname etc this only takes efect on my next connection, > anyway i make sure i'm not shown as my local user and i'm happier > > cheers > > bascule > On Sunday 22 Dec 2002 6:32 am, Jack Coates wrote: > > > probably, but ident is still overridden by /nick.

[expert] KDE 3.1 RC5 Konqueror problems
Updated from stock Mandrake 9.0 KDE rpms --> KDE 3.1 RC5 from texstar (http://www.pclinuxonline.com/modules.php?name=News&file=article&sid=4114). I even: mv $HOME/.kde $HOME/.kde-old Install went fine. Booting up. I'm digging it. Only problems: Konqueror, in file browse/management/preview mode will hang, no matter what. It displays the files, and then hangs hard. No clicks are reflected in the window. I can kill it, but it happens every time. Web Browsing mode works great, but anytime I switch to displaying files (even without switching the mode), it hangs. No exceptions. Using the stock .kde dir it created on boot. Any ideas? This is killing my vibe. Brendan Want to buy your Pack or Services from MandrakeSoft? Go to http://www.mandrakestore.com

Hi all I'd like to buy a monitor and I do not have any idea where to look for some information about the experience of other users. So far I found a Czech site where GNU/Linux users listed their opinions about a few standard monitor types (and many exotic ones). I also tried to google and found a few reviews of older monitor models.

Re: [expert] Somebody with a WORKING Crystal Sound 4232 on MDK9.0 ?
Have you tried modifuying the modules.conf manually??? I'm not on my computer right now but on the afternoon maybe i could send you my modules.conf so you can see how i did it. I cannot hear the oppening and closing sounds but i can get movies and realplayer working and "sounding". Well that should be all. See ya.

Re: [expert] Somebody with a WORKING Crystal Sound 4232 on MDK9.0?
I have tried to make it working as it was in 8.2. In 8.2 it was simply to add the following line to modules.conf: alias sound-slot-0 cs4232 Now, this does not work anymore. Sndconfig (from a getty) takes an awfull time just to recognize something that it calls "Crystal Sound 4232 GAME2 (never saw this "GAME" stuff) and, anyway, it is unable to produce sound. When I try to use Arts in KDE, it tells that I should use artswrapper... but I do not know how to do nor what to do for this. Any help would be really apreciated.

[expert] Using Chooser in kdmrc
At our junior college, we are using Mandrake 9.0 with LTSP 3. We just got 5 new servers, three for the lab and two elsewhere on the campus. The problem: most LTSP people are using RedHat, and the instructions I received for using multiple servers included adding this line to kdmrc: Chooser=/etc/X11/xdm/pretty-chooser The pretty-chooser is a script that sets up a nicer dialog box and then does exec /etc/X11/xdm/chooser $* The problem is that /usr/share/config/kdm/kdmrc appears to use Greeter where RedHat uses Chooser, and I have been unable to figure out how to get X to allow choosing from multiple servers on Mdk 9. Can anyone help? Thanks. -- Jan Wilson, SysAdmin _/*]; [EMAIL PROTECTED] Corozal Junior College | |:' corozal.com corozal.bz Corozal Town, Belize | /' chetumal.com & linux.bz Reg.

The dvd howto is hopelessly out-of-date (no devfs..) > > ...oh dear! now the cdrom part is playing up too. John, On my system I have a Samsung dvd/cdrw combo that seems to be working OK. On my system the drive is on the second IDE controller as a master, with another cd reader on the same channel as a slave. Due to some incorrect settings with an on board Promise raid controller my dvd/cdrw is detected by Linux as /dev/hdg on the "ide side" of things. Anyway, devfs treats it this way in lilo.conf: image=/boot/vmlinuz label=linux root=/dev/hde1 initrd=/boot/initrd.img append="quiet devfs=mount hdg=ide-scsi" vga=788 Doing a ls -la on dev/scd0 returns the following: /dev/scd0 -> scsi/host0/bus0/target6/lun0/cd I created a link in /dev for the dvd side that looks like this: /dev/dvd -> scsi/host0/bus0/target6/lun0/cd cdrecord -scanbus returns: Using libscg version 'schily-0.6' scsibus0: 0,0,0 0) * 0,1,0 1) * 0,2,0 2) * 0,3,0 3) * 0,4,0 4) * 0,5,0 5) * 0,6,0 6) 'SAMSUNG ' 'CDRW/DVD SM-332B' 'T403' Removable CD-ROM 0,7,0 7) * To enable DMA on the drive I do: hdparm -d 1 /dev/hdg On my system this makes dvd playback smoother I do not use supermount, so my fstab entry for the drive looks like this: /dev/scd0 /mnt/cdburn auto user,iocharset=iso8859-1,exec,codepage=850,ro,noauto 0 0 Hope the above gibberish is of some help to you.

Re: [expert] KDE and wine--Sound?
By "soundwrapper" I take it you mean artswrapper? If so, I would think that running a wine/winex app would merely require that you prepend the wine command with artswrapper: "artswrapper winex " Have you tried this already?

[expert] LILO and switching hard drives
I"m having some lilo troubles. I'm trying to switch out a hard drive and replace it with another one. However when I do this, lilo gives me an error on boot "L 01 01 01" etc with 01's going on forever down the screen until I hit reboot. The hard drive I'm swapping out (/dev/hdc) doesn't have any Linux stuff on it, and I only use it for storage. Windows is installed on it's own hard drive (/dev/hda) and linux is on it's own hard drive as well (/dev/sda). The MBR is on /dev/hda. So I'm not seeing how switching out my hard drive would affect lilo at all. I"ve tried rerunning the lilo command, but doesn't help any. So to get to Linux or Windows, I have to use a bootdisk and then I can see and write to the new hard drive with no problems. Any suggestions on what's wrong or what I need to do to make Lilo work?
