Re: [expert] Staroffice/Openoffice problem
Praedor, I have had the same problem with OO.o. I have started using the Prosper package with LaTeX to create presentations (that run using Acrobat, not powerpoint of course). It is very nice and of course has no problem with eps files. See, for example: http://www.ma.man.ac.uk/~mheil/Prosper/ http://sourceforge.net/projects/prosper/ In fact what I am doing is using R (open source implemenation of the S statistical programming language) with Sweave (integrates R/S and LaTeX) and Prosper to create single self-documented analysis files that run an analysis, create a paper and produce the presentation. Last week while I was sleeping my mind was reviewing the code of a presentation I was due to give and found a mistake. My mind alerted me immediately (at 4am) and I got up, fixed the bugs, ran the program. This regenerated the paper and presentation with the updated charts. If I had had to cut and paste everything and update the numbers in the text manually it would have been a nightmare (Sweave allows you to reference the results of statistical calculations in the body of LaTeX text so you can make the whole thing dynamic). Sorry, a bit of a digression from the topic but I LOVE working this way and want to shout about it!

Re: [expert] Yenta Socket and Compaq Laptops
OK if the Bucs can win the SuperBowl then I can find out how to make this work. In /usr/src/linux/pcmcia the file yenta.c I find. * Only probe "regular" interrupts, don't * touch dangerous spots like the mouse irq, * because there are mice that apparently * get really confused if they get fondled * too intimately. * * Default to 11, 10, 9, 7, 6, 5, 4, 3. */ static u32 isa_interrupts = 0x0ef8; static unsigned int yenta_probe_irq(pci_socket_t *socket, u32 isa_irq_mask) { int i; unsigned long val; u16 bridge_ctrl; u32 mask; This seems to be where it's talking about how it decides it's irq's since exclude 11 doesn't work (in /etc/pcmcia/config.opts) it ignores it and grabs the irq anyway. Does the above make sense to anyone? I'm running into a spit pot full of walls here and frankly, my head hurts.

[expert] Yenta Socket and Compaq Laptops
OK I've been beating my head against the wall for the last 5 days I've googled till I'm goggled... and This is what I've come up with. /lib/modules/yourkernel/modules.pcimap uhci is still listed even though it's been replaced by usb-uhci This normally wouldn't be a problem EXCEPT that with the compaq laptops everything and I do mean everything gets thrown on irq 11, pci pcmcia and usb. What happens is that if you insert any cardbus pcmcia card or any usb product into the box it attempts to reload everything on the pci bus... which are already running... and conflicts occur and it freezes. My choices are 1. disable usb sound vga and anything else on the pci bus and let them load when I insert a cardbus card. 2. Figure out where hotplug gets it's irq info for usb and yenta_socket gets it's info for it's irq and set them to something different from sound vga etc. So my question is where does yenta_socket get it's info on what irq to set for cardbus cards?

I am generating a powerpoint presentation with Staroffice 6.0 and even though it indicates that it can import/understand eps format, if I try to import an eps into a slide or graphic, all it ever does is show a box with red text in it indicating that it is an eps file. It NEVER actually displays the graphic. Not to the screen, not upon printout, nothing. Does anyone know if SO/OO really CAN read eps format or what the trick is for it to actually render eps? praedor -BEGIN PGP SIGNATURE- Version: GnuPG v1.0.7 (GNU/Linux) iD8DBQE+NDk7wDUPEkSvRHERAspsAJ0VlfFBNsehoJ9MJvOvi5+nCmyw+QCgtJfA SMXYUO1hE1Rt1LrCnzjNMko= =o19P -END PGP SIGNATURE- Want to buy your Pack or Services from MandrakeSoft?

Re: [expert] APIC enabled or no boot
The only way I've found to thwart the desire for the kernel to turn on APIC is to remove it from the kernel. Even with noapic in the command line and APIC turned off in BIOS it still wanted to turn it on on my boxes. Rebuilding a kernel and removing it did work.

[expert] What is "z2"?
When running chkrootkit, I've been seeing a message saying: Checking 'z2' ... user apache deleted or never loged from lastlog!

My guess is that there's spoofing going on -- maybe > dsniff, maybe ettercap. Sorry I didn't get back to you last night. I had already started the request for infrastructure to get their asses down there since it sure seemed like a switch issue. However, what threw me initially was that it was only the one server on that blade. All the others were fine. Past experience has been that they will make me "prove" it is their problem. This time I didn't get any fight. Sure enough, moved the fiber to another port and it was fine. ?? I have no idea what caused it, but as long as my server is back up, I'm happy. I had a REAL weird one about 2 months ago where a workstation could be pinged, but icmp traffic was all that would pass. If I took that workstation to another closet it worked fine. Infrastructure replaced the nic and the problem went away. So somehow it was based on that MAC. They refused to admit it might be a switch issue for quite awhile since they don't block at that level. Another computer showed up with the problem and after some packet traces from the server and work station simultaniously, I proved to them that the switch was dropping the packets on the floor! So maybe since I one that last fight they were less enthusiastic about fighting me. :) Credability from past issues helps as well I guess. :O I had tried to call them back about tracerouting to see what kind of weird things we might see. By the time I finally got to them, they were already changing ports. Want to buy your Pack or Services from MandrakeSoft? Go to http://www.mandrakestore.com

I believe if you'll look further down in dmesg, apic gets turned off again later on if you have "noapic" in lilo.conf's append line. That's from memory, I don't bother disabling apic anymore.

I COULDN'T get my wusb11 to work though it worked fine in 8.2 and after I upgraded (did upgrade instead of reinstall) with 9.0. When I ran into other problems (XFS primarily) I went ahead and did a clean install of 9.0. From that point no matter what I did the device refused to work. It was only after I finally did a methodical scan through the full dmesg output that I saw a bunch of APIC/IRQ-related stuff and saw the IRQ for my USB showing up there that I started making a determined effort to kill APIC. Ultimately the only way I managed was, as I mentioned, disabling it in xconfig and rebuilding the kernel. No more problem (with APIC in bios also disabled though at this point I don't know if it much matters now that my kernel doesn't support APIC). Wouldn't hurt you to try it, other than spending time and effort. praedor -BEGIN PGP SIGNATURE- Version: GnuPG v1.0.7 (GNU/Linux) iD8DBQE+NANZwDUPEkSvRHERAgEoAJsGhvb7Atzb/LM7cNr+LFB5PWdJnACgo36j 5g4DjfsobVAnBOI2XinyDcw= =qpVh -END PGP SIGNATURE- Want to buy your Pack or Services from MandrakeSoft?

Not quite sure what you're sayin, but this always works for me 'mkisofs -r -o cd_image ' Actually I use an /etc/bashrc alias alias mkcdimg='mkisofs -r -o cd_image' So just typing 'mkcdimg ' makes a file 'cd_image' with all the contents of in it. Then 'bdcd cd_image' burns it to a CDr. alias bdcd='cdrecord -v -eject speed=4 dev=0,0,0 -data' The only check I bother with is 'du -ch cd_image' to make sure the image file is the same size (in MB's) as the contents before I burn it. I use this mostly for making CDr's of movies or pictures, tho it works just as well for mp3's, or any other files. IIRC, I got a lot of help from the CD-writing howto, besides 'man mkisofs'. Both have lot'sa examples. All the dozens of CDr's I've made this way contain only the files that were in , no "record of the files"?.
