Got it done last night with approx 850Mb of updates.  I don't know if my 
account can stand up to a bashing like this.  :^)

So Richard and I decided to try to catch [the small shark].
With a great deal of strategy and effort and shouting, we managed to
maneuver the shark, over the course of about a half-hour, to a sort of
corner of the lagoon, so that it had no way to escape other than to
flop up onto the land and evolve.  Richard and I were inching toward
it, sort of crouched over, when all of a sudden it turned around and --
I can still remember the sensation I felt at that moment, primarily in
the armpit area -- headed right straight toward us.
Many people would have panicked at this point.  But Richard and
I were not "many people."  We were experienced waders, and we kept our
heads.  We did exactly what the textbook says you should do when you're
unarmed and a shark that is nearly two feet long turns on you in water
up to your lower calves: We sprinted I would say 600 yards in the
opposite direction, using a sprinting style such that the bottoms of
our feet never once went below the surface of the water.  We ran all
the way to the far shore, and if we had been in a Warner Brothers
cartoon we would have run right INTO the beach, and you would have seen
these two mounds of sand racing across the island until they bonked
into trees and coconuts fell onto their heads.

Re: [expert] Mandy Locks Up on simple tar!

2003-02-21 Thread James Sparenberg
Sounds like your first problem and this problem could be somehow
connected but not sure how.  

2 questions Can you do the tar in smaller pieces. (it could be a
single fuzzed up file or sector on the HDD is causing the problem
read/write there is hanging the box.  If so, doing it in smaller bits
will help you locate it.  You can always tar a group of tars later.

If you don't want to or can't do smaller pieces try tar -cvvf etc etc
etc. > tarout.txt.  This will give you a visual of what is happening as
the tar is going along.  Then when the box hangs You'll know the
suspect file.  It will be the last one the box was able to write to the
tarout.txt file.

All,

   I remembered and checked one thing I've got a single kernel that
i83265 does work correctly on.  And it was compiled via 2.96 rather than
3.x(older kernel so it could be the kernel) going to try this again
and see what happens.

How about install the src.rpm and look in /usr/src/RPM/SPECS, or open 
the src.rpm in mc (midnight commander).

Try this:

That should get you going...

this is caused by mandrake list mail server placing senders name

i just now have received 8, so i guess we all have a few more to go.
that is unless mandrake has pulled his name, or tiscali.dk comes to

To get around this, build your kernel without pcmcia support and then 
separately build and install pcmcia-cs.  I use 3.1.24, had some problems with 
3.2.0, and don't really know what it is at now (since it was working fine 
with 3.1.x series, I saw no need to move on).

Doing it this way allows you to load and use the i82365 module instead of 
yenta.  My kernel doesn't force yenta just for spite either.

For every message that a person posts, a bounc is being generated and
it's returning it to the message originator instead of the list owner.

The afflicted user is no longer subscribed to the list, it was caught by
the bounce scripts I think (but that seems weird since the bounces were
coming directly to the users instead of the list).

Not to mention that php has one unique thing about it that no other
lanugage seems to have.  The entire documentation of php is available
online at php.net along with samples.  perl comes close, but not quite
as centralized as php is.  But perl is also older and more mature, so
pick your poison.

Well it's perl.  Make sure that the first line of smbldap-useradd.pl has
#!/usr/bin/perl (ie points to the correct perl binary).

Couldn't hurt.  Pick it up to around 5 or 6.  Increase your max log file
size to 500K as it will rotate pretty quickly if you leave it down at
50K.

Never mind - I've found it.  For some wierd reason it had set a filter for 
multiple pages.  It doesn't need this - though I'm not sure why.  I deleted 
the filter and everything was hunky-dory.

Praedor,

   Going back to your earlier fun with i82365.. I'm now having the same
trouble with all kernels since 2.4.19  Seems that something in i82365.c
doesn't compile right.  If I kill pcmcia and then try to load the
modules directly 

# modprobe i82365
/lib/modules/2.4.21pre4-9mdk/kernel/drivers/pcmcia/i82365.o.gz:
init_module: No such device
Hint: insmod errors can be caused by incorrect module parameters,
including invalid IO or IRQ parameters.
  You may find more information in syslog or the output from dmesg
modprobe: insmod
/lib/modules/2.4.21pre4-9mdk/kernel/drivers/pcmcia/i82365.o.gz failed
modprobe: insmod i82365 failed

if I try it directly

My chipset needs to use i82365 not yenta_socket to work right just like
yours.  Even removing the dang module it STILL loads it somehow

PHP was designed to access a database.  Give me a bit here to find it
and I'll send you a "page" that does e-mail.  All you need is a php page
and an MTA database not required.

when I run userdrake as user, it asks for my root pass, and then runs
fine... However, when I do "su" or "su -" first, and then run userdrake,
it does nothing, just silently exits...

Running userdrake.real after su does work... 

Any ideas?

You appear to be correct but in a way I hadn't suspected.  I installed the 
current cooker kernel (binary) and then tried to bootup.  Nope, black screen 
again.  I then set ACPI support to ON in my bios and tried again, booted up 
OK (now I am just trying to build and use my NVIDIA driver with the new 
kernel, which unfortunately means I have to download the huge kernel-source 
rpm).

I suspect that my previous "failed" build attempts with 2.4.19-24mdk would 
actually work if I set ACPI on for those as well, even though I disabled this 
support in the kernel config when I built it.

The hardware is new but still old enough to have proven itself over time.  I 
have tried completely removing the source package, kernel modules directory, 
source, etc, and then reinstalling the kernel-source rpm, and redoing the 
build.  

I have always ultimately rebuilt my own kernels, first from tarballs and more 
recently, from source rpms.  It has only really been with 9.0 and the 2.4.19+ 
kernels that I have had problems.  I had to dump my XFS filesystem to get a 
custom-built 2.4.19 9.0 kernel to work with my system (known issue - the 
kernel makefile indicates that for xfs support - and thus the whole kernel as 
a result, should be built with egcc?! Who uses that anymore?  I thought that 
it and gcc had been merged over a year ago).  

In any case, the harddrive is new, the system memory is sound, the CPU is 
sound, the video card is sound (NVidia Ti4200).  

I was hoping someone would have run into this sort of kernel-uselessness 
situation and also found a way out of it.  I am reluctant to simply install a 
binary kernel.  They don't tend to work very well with my wireless devices.

I fixed my problem that I was having by upgrading to MDK 9.1 RC 1.

My whole problem was I got me an Epson Stylus CX3200 printer/scanner/copier 
combo, and the printer worked fine, but  there was a section in the scanner.c 
file that was preventing me from setting up my scanner, so it was either 
remove the line in scanner.c and recompile or install kernel >= 2.4.21.

either use the build-in mail() function, or just open a socket to the
mail server yourself and implement the mail session into your script
manually (or check the web to see if some one done it for you already,
which seems highly likely).

docs are online at www.php.net and/or on your server after you've
installed php.

I have to call a component to get that service; either CDONTS or Dundas or
one of several others.  These components act like mini mail servers, format
an email and then forward it to the mail server of your choice.

I was ready to code in Perl because I can have access to MySQL there;

Yes and no. You will feel the real power of php at the time u are using it

Either a) modify the spec file to build what you want, b) use the 
kernel-source rpm and compilie it by hand (you get mdk's toys) or c) get the 
kernel from kernel.org (no nice toys).

When you do build it, make sure you actually turn modules OFF, rather than not
