[expert] Printer not printing

[Sridhar]

I am having problems printing documents from my W2k machine. I  have my 
deskjet printer connected to Mandrake server.

I am able to print from my server, but the documents from my W2k machine 
does not print.
I end up having files numbered 'c02' in my /var/spool/cups dir. If I 
remove the '-r' option for lpr-cups print command I can also see files 
being spooled to /var/spool/samba.

I had set debug level to debug in the cupsd.conf file hoping to see some 
errors in the log file.

When I see the log from cups administration page it reports that the 
files were printed.

Not sure where to look for problems.

rpms are not dpkgs and don't follow all the rules that makes dpkg preparation 
such a nightmare and keeps Debian out of date.

As a result rpms have limitations

For one, if you have a %postun stanza in the rpm spec file which removes a 
link that was made by the rpm either during installation or in the %post 
stanza and you select "update", the %postun stanza is the last thing to run 
and blooey--no more link.  There is a way around it using a cat and an at in 
the %post and making a temporary filw that re-sets the link and then 
self-destructs, which will run only during install (failing to make the link 
a second time) or after update (because the at sets the temp file as a script 
to run a couple minutes later), and I did supply QA at mandrake with a 
screening program to check for the situation with srpms and identify those 
needing modification.

The second is packaging/library naming.  RPM can handle some situations 
acceptably, but splitting one package into three in the next release is not 
one of them, and this is often done for valid engineering reasons.

The point is, want smooth updates, use Debian or at least dpkg and apt-get, 
but you PAY for it with the rules associated with the dpkg and the developer 
time necessary to make one and to keep it within rules, which tends to keep 
Debian seriously behind the leading edge, even with the "unstable" stuff.  As 
always, There Aint No Such Thing As A Free Lunch.  You make your choices and 
you take your chances.

as to your question what rbl's are available: use The Force (reg. tm)!
sample included for free when you follow this link:
http://www.google.com/search?q=rbl%20blacklist%20list

as to whether or not rbl are good: that depends on the rbl. some list only
spammers/open relay and the like, some list entire providers or
progressively lists bigger parts of a provider ip space as time goes
by without the isp taking action, other list you for no reason at all, or
are inmpossible to get out of.

just choose carefully, read their listing policies, check what steps you
would have to take to get off the list, and watch your logs!

   Before the 2.4.21 kernels, copying a 700mb with about 6,000 .jpg's 
on it to HDD would result in a nothing but 'no such file' errors 
about half way thru the CD, either on the CL or with a file manager.  
Copying 1/2 at a time worked fine. This was the only issue I've had 
with supermount in a long time.

   With every 2.4.21 kernel since, this situation is no longer a 
problem and access to removable media is very much faster. Almost 
instantaneous on the CL, just a few seconds in a file manager like 
Konqueror.

   'Course this is with 9.1, which probly makes a difference. I'd 
think tho that a current 2.4.21 cooker kernel should not be a problem 
on a 9.0 system. (kernel-2.4.21.0.pre4.8mdk-1-1mdk).

[expert] 2.2.19-24mdk is DOA

[Praedor Atrebates]

Well, at the suggestion of someone on the list, I downloaded, built, and 
installed the 9.0 update kernel 2.4.19-24mdk.  Doesn't work.  Not at all.  I 
also built 2.4.18 from MDK 8.2 (and have been using my own build of the 
default MDK 9.0 kernel) and can use each without problems.  2.4.19-24mdk, 
which I have now rebuilt 4 times, wont even kernel panic-it doesn't even get 
THAT far.  It doesn't do anything.  At all.  No disk activity, no beeps, no 
messages.  Just a blank, black screen for as long as I desire to let it sit.  
No messages in any logs.

Anything kernel-wise from 2.4.19 or higher has been a complete, total loser 
for me.  It is either kernel panics (can't find init even though there IS an 
init), no bootups, loss of support for xfs or even rieserfs (on several 
ocassions).  What is going on here...is it something endemic to the newest 
Mandrake release or is it the kernels (and thus the kernel developers 
dropping big balls left and right)?  As it is, I am once again migrating back 
to at least the 8.2 kernel so that my peripherals will work again and I wont 
lose any filesystem support or suffer kernel panics.

Have people actually managed to BUILD 2.4.19-24mdk and use it?  Or are you 
simply using the binary version.  What did MandrakeSoft do to get it to build 
and actually work, if this is the case?  To what god(s) did they offer 
sacrifice to so that it would work on any hardware at all?

No error messages during build.  What I changed:
I deselected: pcmcia support, raid support, memory tech device support, ISDN 
support.

I enabled GRSecurity and ONLY selected the first few items of network security 
regarding randomization of IP packet sequence numbers, etc.  

No other changes.  I used this same setup/config for my 2.4.18 kernel and it 
works fine.  The only difference between this 2.4.19-24mdk build and my 
(mostly) working 2.4.19-16mdk is the GRSecurity stuff.  

I am attempting one more time to build the 2.4.19-24mdk kernel without the 
network security stuff enabled but this really shouldn't affect the 
bootability of the kernel in any case.  I cannot get ANYTHING, not even a 
kernel panic or busybox message.

[expert] 9.1RC1 install problem " undefined subroutine &main:: called."

[Ken Thompson]

While trying to install 9.1RC1 I get the above error message, has anyone else 
run into this and know a work around?
When it reaches the summary page the error comes up in a box, when I click OK 
it just loops.  Now after a reboot, setting up Xwindows with drakxconf 
everything seems to work pretty good except networking and DHCP.
I have installed all the DHCP rpms with urpmi, set the gateway in Linuxconf 
and tried to start DHCP, no joy. MCC won't let me set a default gateway 
either. Issuing the command /sbin/dhcpcd results in an error message about no 
/etc/dhcp.conf file and then goes into a 60 second DHDISCOVER loop .
Any ideas or fixes??

I had exactly the same experience.

Finished up the install with drakconf after a reboot and got an almost 
functioning install..

I still have several glitches which are really irritating.

I've been pleading for a url for a list of quick fixes to no avail.

I just confirmed the dead nature of 2.4.19-24mdk.  I rebuilt it without the 
security stuff enabled, default settings, and it built just fine - no errors.  
Everything went as expected for a kernel build.  I ran lilo and rebooted to 
the new 2.4.19-24 kernel and...nothing.  Blank screen, no disk activity 
whatsoever, no beeps, no messages.  Logs are totally devoid of any 
information on the 2.4.19-24 kernel.  It is absolutely, totally, without 
doubt a dead, lifeless, useless, limp, cold kernel.  

Back to 2.4.18.

[expert] IDE CDR device not working

[Daniel Axtell]

I'm running LM 9.0 and can't get my CDR to work.  This same set up works under 
Win98, but I need to be running Linux to do backups, etc.

I have an IDE DVD-ROM and IDE CDR/W on the same IDE controller; the DVD is 
accessible via /mnt/cdrom, the CDR seems to be associated with /dev/scd0 
(although I'm not sure how devices work with this devfs stuff).  
/etc/lilo.conf has append="hdc=ide-scsi devfs=mount quiet" for the default 
boot settings.

When I run cdrecord -scanbus I get "cdrecord: Read-only file system. Cannot 
open '/dev/sg0'. Cannot open SCSI driver."

ide-scsi, scsi_mod, sg are all loaded into the kernel.  

How can I tell which is the correct device, and what parameters do I use to 
get cdrecord to see it?

Thanks,
Dan

Before you go through all of this, you _are_ running 'make mrproper'
first, right?

vi Makefile (adjust the EXTRAVERSION)
make mrproper
make xconfig || make menuconfig
make dep clean bzImage modules
make modules_install && make install

Try a RedHat kernel.  I suspect you're having acpi issues.

Praedor's problems must be system related. Admittedly, I'm not running any 
peripherals that could cause problems.

 With a stock 9.0 install, kernels 2.4.19-16mdk, 2.4.-19-24mdk, kernel.org 
vanilla 2.4.20 (with or without a preemptive patch), and the cooker 
2.4.21.-0.pre4.5mdk (normal i586, or recompiled for athlon-xp cpus) work 
fine.

My hardware is Abit KX7-333, and an MSI KT3- Ultra 2 (both have the via KT333 
chipset, and both have Athlon XP 1700Mhz T-bred B cpus).

1) bad path
2) not in $PATH inherited by samba process
3) commented out in smb.conf
4) not using the smb.conf you think it is (nw, never happened to me :)
5) executing it as a different user than root for some reason (though
I've never seen that)

Modify it so that it calls a wrapper script and in that wrapper script,
log all the options that are being passed to it and what uid it's

syslog does not seem to record everything sometimes...

In my case mc00 was a memory card, using a 5MB ext3 partion should be 
ok, I would not wirte it to my root FS or home dir though (could corrupt 
it if the script went wrong), especially as mtab is not kept uptodate

My system is an Athlon 1100 MHz CPU on an MSI KT3 Ultra (Via KT333) and is no 
more than 6 months old.  I have disabled ACPI in bios and deselected it in my 
kernel config.  

The stock 9.0 kernel worked just as well as the custom build 2.4.19-16mdk 
kernel I currently use.

[expert] How to rebuild nvidia-kernel for rc1: solved

[Francisco]

Thanks to Buchan Mine help i did it:

1) Of course you need the nvidia-kernel and nvidia-glx src.rpm packages 
downloaded from www.nvidia.com.

2) You need also to have installed the kernel-sources rpm from the third cdrom 
of Mandrake 9.1 rc1

3) You need to set an environmental variable:

"export IGNORE_CC_MISMATCH=1"

4) Now rpm --rebuild nvidia-kernel.src.rpm
rpm  --rebuild nvidia-GLX. src.rpm

5) After the rebuild succes ou will have the rpms on /usr/src/RPM/RPMs/i586

[expert] Abit KT7 RAID MB (VIA chipset)

[J. Grant]

Hi,

I've got one Abit KT7 RAID MB system running stock mdk9 kernel.  Its running, however, the hd speed is slow because it only works with no dma etc. I am using the correct ata100 cables with only a single drive on each channel.

Has anyone else experienced this with this motherboard using the raid channels?

Cheers

I see you have the hpt370 onboard controller.  Although not an exact

I built the 2.4.19-24mdk packages.  They took a while, but they built (from
rpm).  I rebuilt them once from source as a test to make sure they built,
but I don't recall if I booted from that compiled version or not.

I have installed the binary package in vmware, on an "enterprise" machine,
on an "smp" machine, and on an "up" machine.  In all cases, everything
worked just peachy.

You seem to have a lot of problems with Linux that I just never come across.
I see quite often you having problems with stuff on the list.  Perhaps your
luck just isn't very good.  =)

Seriously, a number of people tested this kernel before we put it out.  We
can't test every piece of hardware out there, but anything major we can
usually spot quite quickly.  I don't know why it doesn't work for you.

Re: [expert] Brainstorm - add user script in Samba-LDAP

[Jim C]

1) bad path


Triple checked the path.  Path is fine.


2) not in $PATH inherited by samba process


I'm not sure if I understand this one.  Do you mean that 
/usr/share/samba/scripts needs to be in root's path?

3) commented out in smb.conf


Nope.  It is not commented out.


4) not using the smb.conf you think it is (nw, never happened to me :)


Unlikely.  I have only one smb.conf


5) executing it as a different user than root for some reason (though
I've never seen that)


Me either.


Modify it so that it calls a wrapper script and in that wrapper script,
log all the options that are being passed to it and what uid it's
running as.


The options are straight forward.

add user script = /usr/share/samba/scripts/smbldap-useradd.pl -w -d 
/dev/null -g Machines -s /bin/false %u

...and according to the docs the script *must* be run as root... still I 
need to be sure at this point.  How can I write such a script?  Since 
the options are as noted above, I should probably just echo the $USER 
environment variable, yes?

What about changing to a higher log level?  Right now I am at 3.

I was using the same board until a couple of days ago, it now has

[expert] email component

[H. Carter Harris]

In a M$ environment, I developed a web application that sends emails using a
component from Dundas.  Basically, someone submits a web page and asp
formats the email and then sends it through the component.  I want to do
something similar in mandrake 8.2, apache 1.3 (I think), and perl.

Could anyone tell me what would be needed to do something similar in the
better environment?

Look into PHP, it's a lot like ASP and is included in Mandrake Distro's.

I was wondering the same thing.  I am aware that Andre Hedrick has campaigned 
for a while to keep WDs off of udma3 or higher because they don't exactly 
comply with the requirements for the CRC protocols for those speeds.

ANd My thoughts fall first to WD when I see {DriveReady SeekComplete} because 
that is the only brand on which I have seen it.

Hi,

Thanks for the info.

I did download the propreitary hpt370 kernel module, but it was only
binary and I could not get the root disk to work.  Perhaps I should try
a newer kernel than 2.4.19-16mdk, have you tried with the default mdk9
kernel on your board at all?

I have the latest bios for my board, I don't think much of highpoint's
support.

I see you have the hpt370 onboard controller.  Although not an exact 
match, I have hpt372 onboard Iwill XP-333R and it works well as an extra 
ide controller for me with the newer kernels in RC1 or in cooker.  Alan 
Cox's ide patches from 2.4.20-ac1 have been merged and it enables my

The default 9.0 kernel was one I had to rebuild for the hpt driver.  The 
patches that allow me to use this controller as jbod w/o building a 
kernel came in at 2.4.21-0.pre3.2mdk.  You could try installing the 
cooker kernel.  Also, if these drives are WD, see the other posts about 
WD drives.

[expert] 9.1RC1 test experiences

[Jack Coates]

Sony Vaio VX88, currently running MDK 9.0 with 2.4.20-2mdk kernel for
ACPI support.

combo CDRW/DVD drive is at /mnt/disk.
as root, cd /mnt/disk &
./live_update produces:
gmessage
Mandrake Linux live upgrade
Unable to find Mandrake Linux Installation Cd-Rom in the first
drive.
Abort

The script looks like it would work if I moved my mount point to
/mnt/cdrom, but since this device isn't a cdrom and there was clearly an
effort to support other options via distrib=`pwd`, I think I should
report the problem.

Reboot with CD in of course fails because the installer can't mount the
firewire CDRW/DVD. Kernel messages show that it recognizes okay and
tries to do the right thing, but doesn't have an sbp2 module to install.
This is fixable via burning a new El Torito disk with the network.img as
documented here (http://www.monkeynoodle.org/comp/vaio), but I really
don't feel like dealing right now.

Okay, so I symlinked /mnt/disk to /mnt/cdrom and ran live_update again,
still no soap. So I manually
cd Mandrake/mdkinst/usr/bin/perl-install/
./live_install2 (not live_install as the live_update script says).

and the result is:

Todd, I've had similar problems on 9.0 kernels and was able to get
around it using the 2.96 gcc rather than the stock 3.x that comes with
9.0... This could be it... and I could also be all wet.

Kens right PHP is your answer... infact if you do urpmi asp2php (I
believe that's the name) you can feed in your asp page and it will
output working (or dang close to working) php on the other side.  Final
answer install the asp modules in apache and use your asp script.

comply with the requirements for the CRC protocols for those speeds.

ANd My thoughts fall first to WD when I see {DriveReady SeekComplete} because 
that is the only brand on which I have seen it.

I'm using the latest hpt370 bios

This is my system spec atm.

Abit KT7-RAID (VIA chipset)
Award BIOS Ver 6.00PG (01/31/2002-8363-686A-6A6LMA19C-7N)
Highpoint RAID BIOS Ver 1.11.0402
Triones Technologies, Inc. HPT366 (rev 03)
Guilmott nVidia Corporation NV15 (Geforce2 GTS) (rev a4)
VT82C586B USB (rev 10)

I've noticed this problem for a while.. but not found the solution while 
looking.  It crashes twice a month or so, not sure if this is related. 
I've not lost any data.. yet...

Below I will paste dmesg and the hd spec. yes there is a WD one...

When booting bios if hardrive is on hda,hdb,hdc or hdd normal speed channe:

Primary IDE channel no 80 conductor cable installed.  It boots, and even 
with new cables I saw this error.  My fried also has this on another 
abit board, and his works ok too.  Not sure what it means though.


dmesg|less had lots of usb stuff and not much bootup, is this meant to 
be wiped out when the computer is running for a while?

usb-uhci.c: interrupt, status 28, frame# 1427
usb-uhci.c: Host controller halted, trying to restart.

Also some hdh stuff
