Re: [expert] Loading appropiate LIRC modules in LM 9.0.
Hi James, Thank you for answering. I just did what you proposed and everything seems to be working very good. But I still have a question. What do you have in your script placed in /etc/init.d/ to execute the daemon lircd at boot time? Thank you in advance. Fabián.

[expert] Odd network behavior - HELP!!!
All, Using MDK 9.0 and trying to get internet connection going through an ADSL USB modem. Using eciadsl package and seems to work OK - to a point. Something very screwy is happening. I can ping, but only sort of. For example, I seem to be ablt to ping to xx.yy.zz.aa type addresses, though sometimes get . However, with written addresses, it SOMETIMES works, but often not. Here's an example: [root@Auckland etc]# ping www.rosenet.ne.jp ping: unknown host www.rosenet.ne.jp [root@Auckland etc]# ping www.rosenet.ne.jp PING catv01.rosenet.ne.jp (210.230.70.2) from 203.173.243.231 : 56(84) bytes of data. 64 bytes from catv01.rosenet.ne.jp (210.230.70.2): icmp_seq=1 ttl=239 time=266 ms 64 bytes from catv01.rosenet.ne.jp (210.230.70.2): icmp_seq=2 ttl=239 time=260 ms 64 bytes from catv01.rosenet.ne.jp (210.230.70.2): icmp_seq=3 ttl=239 time=259 ms 64 bytes from catv01.rosenet.ne.jp (210.230.70.2): icmp_seq=4 ttl=239 time=259 ms 64 bytes from catv01.rosenet.ne.jp (210.230.70.2): icmp_seq=5 ttl=239 time=259 ms --- catv01.rosenet.ne.jp ping statistics --- 5 packets transmitted, 5 received, 0% loss, time 5056ms rtt min/avg/max/mdev = 259.161/260.746/266.239/2.511 ms You can see the first two times I got unknown host, but the third time it worked. Nothing was done between attempts other than up arrow and enter in bash! All three attempts within 1 minute. Why work the third time??? Here's the contents of host.conf and resolv.conf: [root@Auckland etc]# cat host.conf order hosts,bind multi on [root@Auckland etc]# cat resolv.conf # ppp temp entry nameserver 203.109.252.42 # ppp temp entry nameserver 203.109.252.43 # ppp temp entry I don't know if they are right, but I do know that the entries in resolv.conf are the DNS servers supplied by my ISP through DHCP.

[expert] spastic messages during bootup
I have been struggling to get a usb wireless device (under NO circumstances should anyone buy linksys devices, particularly linksys usb wireless devices - they are useless in linux). As part of the attempt to get it to work consistently and properly, I have altered bios settings: I either set PNP capable OS to yes or no. If set to yes, no problem, I get a nice clean bootup. If I set it to no, then I still get a bootup but there is a delay where the system goes berzerk producing hundreds of repetitive, streaming messages about mounting /dev/usb: readonly filesystem. This doesn't happen when bios is set to PNP OS: yes. What is the deal with this? praedor Want to buy your Pack or Services from MandrakeSoft? Go to http://www.mandrakestore.com

Hello I run KDE 3.0.5 with Liquid style as my main Desktop Environment. I have AquaGraphite style set for my GTK1 applications (Like evolution) to make my desktop look consistent. But I seem to have problems doing something similar for GTK2 apps (which the next version of Evolution will be BTW...).

[expert] lilo and change rules for extended partition
when using lilo to hide partitions in the past i have relied on the examples i found online and in man lilo.conf, but now that i wish to alter the id of the extended partition (so that both os/2 and winxp will both work) i can't find any confirmation of the appropriate nomenclature. the examples that i can find, for example: set=DOS16_big_normal or set=NTFS_normal do not actually coincide with the partition id list given by fdisk so i'm not sure if it is safe to just put: change partition=/dev/hda2 set=0x05 and so forth; the extended partition is a primary partition so i'm assuming it's id can be changed (i read that this can't be done for logical partitions) can anyone tell me what the nomenclature is for the set= line to change the extended partition to id 05 (Extended) and to 0f (ExtendedX) cheers bascule -- "Ah, " said Arthur, "this is obviously some strange usage of the word safe that I wasn't previously aware of.

Re: [expert] [repost] GTK2 apps in KDE (3.0.5)
Hi, gnome-settings-daemon works for me, but I'm using fluxbox, not KDE... probably it's interfering with KDE's desktop management... I wouldn't know how to solve that, but maybe you can try the --sm-disable option?

In my opinion (and I may be biased, as I own a DVD+RW burner ...) It is very fortunate that DVD+RW is gaining momentum as it appears to be a format superior to DVD-R(W). In short: it is a true packet-writing format, so, in principle, the DVD+RW can be even used as radom-writing device (think of it as a slow hard-drive). Again, see the page above for more info.

Re: [expert] lilo and change rules for extended partition
thanks felix but my winxp will not see the ntfs partition that is within the extended partition unless the typ is other than 05, specifically it will not mount it onto it's filesystem and since that partition is the 'documents and settings' stuff i can hardly do without it :) if you are sure that winxp pro should be able to do this from within a 05 id extended partition then i shall have to double check the integrity but there are no signs of errors, this linux install is booted from within the same extended partition bascule On Tuesday 18 Feb 2003 6:25 pm, Felix Miata wrote: > bascule wrote: > > when using lilo to hide partitions in the past i have relied on the > > examples i found online and in man lilo.conf, but now that i wish to > > alter the id of the extended partition (so that both os/2 and winxp will > > both work) i can't find any confirmation of the appropriate nomenclature. > > the examples that i can find, for example: > > > > set=DOS16_big_normal > > or > > set=NTFS_normal > > > > do not actually coincide with the partition id list given by fdisk so i'm > > not sure if it is safe to just put: > > change > > partition=/dev/hda2 > > set=0x05 > > > > and so forth; the extended partition is a primary partition so i'm > > assuming it's id can be changed (i read that this can't be done for > > logical partitions) > > > > can anyone tell me what the nomenclature is for the set= line to change > > the extended partition to id 05 (Extended) and to 0f (ExtendedX) > > Use FDISK to change it to 05 and leave it that way. 0F is for W95OSR2, > W98, and WME.

Re: [expert] [repost] GTK2 apps in KDE (3.0.5)
hi,
forget about wizards... the only thing they can do is to completely duck up
your carefully-written-by-hand config files ;)
first look at this line in my example ~/.gtkrc-2.0:
include "/usr/share/themes/Bluecurve/gtk-2.0/gtkrc"
and now do:
$ find /usr/share/themes -name gtk-2.0
so? do you still need some wizard or configurator? ;)

It is text - I can put into it the text of one of Terry Pratchets books and hope Rincewind the wizard comes hopping out as my new office helper.

The theme was just for fun. So would be the rest I could do with it. You can have one of my Terry Pratchet books as a thank-you, I just finished it.

Re: [expert] KPilot woes
how about pilot-xfer -l? If that works, you know pilot-link is doing its job... however, this is all terribly buggy territory and has been for years and probably isn't going to get unbuggy any time soon. pilot-link usually works pretty well, note that it's up to version 0.11.7 now. Programs that work closely with it like jpilot work. gnome-pilot and kpilot are generally not likely to work reliably.

[expert] Question of ppoe
All, Got an e-mail from someone who thinks I'm an expert with Linux (little do they know *grin*) any way they have DSL with SBC and it uses ppoe I've never set it up and I don't know of a good document source. Note that the person is computer literate but primarily a windows developer. So this person expects a lot of things to work/act like windows. (Took me a long time to make this person believe that Linux doesn't need different driver CDs all the time) Any rate I'm looking for a basic point and shoot kind of instruction page that I can point them to to set up ppoe... any suggestions?

I use SBC and just configured the network through drakconf. It allows you to select pppoe and it's easy to use.

Well, I set up pilot-xfer and ran pilot-xfer --port /dev/ttyUSB1 --backup /home/robbo/visor/ and it should have listened to /dev/ttyUSB1 where the message logs indicate that the Visor is connected to. But it never saw /dev/ttyUSB1 (I am running devfs...but old style addresses are still symlinked). J-Pilot did not see it either. I am currently running pilot-link-0.11.3-2mdk, I attempted to upgrade to 0.11.7 from source, but was unable to compile it, as I would have had to rebuild too much of my machine. The logs from the recent test are basically like before. usbserial gives /dev/ttyUSB0 and 1 to the visor for use, and pilot-xfer, KPilot, JPilot and the like miss the connection. Is something else necessary to be running?

Also if you run runlevel at the command prompt do you get something like 5 3 or N 5 James > > Thanks, > Damon Want to buy your Pack or Services from MandrakeSoft? Go to http://www.mandrakestore.com
