Thanks for all your help, Joerg. One last question, if I may? I hope to soon have 9.1, and would like to avoid the sort of problems I've had this time. I shall reformat the partition that had 8.2 on, and make another partition available for /home. I know that I'l have to make sure fstab isn't trying to mount them, and clean up lilo.conf first.

Re: [expert] Pentium4 motherboards keeping ISA slots
Hi, thanks for all useful coments. As Charles points out, I would be VERY interested to know the compatibility of i845PE chipset under Linux, since SY-P4I 845PE ISA appears to be available from an spanish distributor of SOYO. Alternatively, does anybody know of other mailing lists where such i845PE chipset compatibility question could be addressed? Thanks again, Octavi.

Re: [expert] Where does the "make oldconfig" get it's values from?
Adrian Golumbovici wrote: From the distribution configuration, the current running kernel, the last kernel you compiled on the machine or the last kernel you ran "make oldconfig" on? I ask this cause I did a lot of recompiling trying to find the right kernel for my hardware and now I am a bit dazzled why the distro config (enterprise edition) at least boots with my hardware, but with "make mrproper" "make oldconfig", and adding just 4GB support for highmem and compiling normally, the resulted kernel crashes at boot. :/ Does the enterprise kernel have anything else enabled beside the 4GB highmem? Best regards, Adrian Mandrake kernel sources come with some constituents of a previous compilation, .config among them, to enable building of kernel modules for third-party drivers, e.g. nVidia, for one thing: http://us.mandrakesoft.com/unsupported/README.Mandrake When you make mrproper, it deletes .config, so move it away before and back after to use it for make oldconfig. The file /boot/config is how the running kernel was configured and I have used that with apparent success when using make xconfig to compile a relatively contemporaneous Mandrake kernel source or kernel.org source. rolf Want to buy your Pack or Services from MandrakeSoft?

Re: [expert] LT Win Modem on Notebook Computer
I know that PCTel and LT winmodem works well with any MDK. But I always use tarball files and informations from linmodem, like Praedor. BTW, the problem you face with pccard and winmodem I had with sound in my mobo. When using modem, my sound switched off (but system didn't lock up). And that seems to be a common issue with Via. However, I handled kppp to stop sound deamon (alsa) e restart after logon, all worked gracefully. Maybe, if you turn off or modem (modules) or pccard for a while, you can avoid lock up.

Re: [expert] Dumb Question: Mandrake's notebook installation
STFW. http://www.linux-laptop.net/, search for "linux model-of-computer", look at the laptops used by resellers like emperorlinux and qlitech, look for linux support for the various hardware items. As a general rule of thumb, the newer the laptop model the less likely it will work without problems unless you're willing to use the bleeding edge of software. Older models will be better supported. As another general rule of thumb, which you already seem to be observing, stick to big name brands in order to increase the potential pool of other people working with the same model.

[expert] Videoconferencing and OpenMCU
Hi all,
I need to setup a videoconference server, and I would like to use openmcu.
I have downloaded the software from http://www.openh323.org, and I tried to
run it in the server (linux mandrake 8.1)
But when I connect to server using gnomemeeting, in the server I can read
these messages:
=

But I can't see the remote image with gnomemeeting (maybe the server is not
sending video signal?).
When I disconnect, the server shows these messages:
Room room101 is now empty
ROOM HAS BEEN REMOVED (ReadVideo)
Closing connection
When a friend connects to server with Ms Netmeeting the server shows these
messages:

But netmeeting is always waiting for a response, and never starts
videoconferencing. Then, the server shows:

While neetmeeting still waits for a response. In my computer, with
gnomemeeting, I still can't see anything!
I can't find anything in google about configuring openmcu under linux and
clients under linux and windows. I really need to setup the videoconference
server as soon as possible.
Anybody can help me? Where can I find the documentation about openmcu?
Thank you!
Best regards!

Re: Re: [expert] 9.1rc2 Hostname problem
Ric, I'm not sure why this upset you, but I don't think anyone was trying to moderate your question. I'm also posting this, not so much as a reply to your message but for others on the list who may not understand why this keeps coming up. Simply put, though, the proper place for beta questions is the cooker list or bugzilla. That is not to keep things from being posted here on expert (or even newbie). It's to make sure that the developers see it on cooker. Since cooker, expert and newbie are all high volume lists, posting bugs/questions about the beta versions on cooker ensures that they are seen by the proper people. I am not a developer (nor a list moderator), but I know that both expert and newbie lists generate around 200-300 daily messages. It would be either a) quite easy to miss a bug report or b) very time consuming for a developer to search every message. Hopefully, you'll reconsider your departure from MDL. At least Mandrake gives you access to the betas and the developers.

Which is why my original post was a simple question, to see if I was being brain damaged, and missed a previously reported problem, or if it was a new bug that I would need to report. I was then told not to report it here, to take it to the cooker list, etc. My critisizm was not for the distro. If I didn't like MDL, I wouldn't bother with it. It was for the (seemingly) self appointed list moderators that continually feel it their duty to play cop on this list. However. That turned out to be a misunderstanding, and I've made my appology to the individual involved. FWIW: I have 9.1rc2 installed, and with the exception of the hostname issue, am happy with it. This is the first version of 9.1 that actually installed on my tired old PC (can't afford any fancy new computers..). So far, I'm quite happy with it.

Re: [expert] Boycotting MDL
Ric, I myself disagree with France's actions in the Security Councel and have a personality inclined to boycotting. Nevertheless, the Linux cause--and Mandrake specifically--is far more important than the expression of political disagreement. Remember how Perot split the Republican vote and allowed Clinton to win? We Linux users don't want to do M$ any favors by dividing ourselves on Mandrake. Unlike Red Hat (which is your only real alternative) Mandrake's work directly challenges Winsux on the desktop, and it aims at making Linux as easy to use as possible via draktools, etc. We _must_ support that fight. If France says no to military action, America will go anyway and succeed. If we say no to Mandrake, then we're hurting Linux. The French gov't may be on a crusade to obstruct America's plans, but Mandrake's cause is to provide computing freedom, and that's a just cause. If you want to boycott France, withhold vacation and wine dollars. But I'd ask you not to cut of your nose to spite your face as it relates to Mandrake.

Re: [expert] Boycotting MDL
Ric and others, This is a message that was just posted to Cooker. I'm posting it here because it's directly relevant to this discussion: Miark Date: 13 Mar 2003 15:59:06 -0400 From: Jean-Michel Dault <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> To: [EMAIL PROTECTED] Subject: [Cooker] OT: War, french fries and Mandrake Linux There has been a lot of discussion about Americans wanting to boycott french products, and some mails of people that said they wouldn't buy Mandrake Linux because of that. Some facts you might want to know: - The Mandrake Linux boxes sold in the stores in the USA are *not* a French product, but an american-made product, since the boxes, CDs and manuals are manufactured by Pearson/Macmillan right in the US. - MandrakeSoft has developers all around the globe. The security updates are made by a Canadian, the I18N leader is in Belgium, the Documentation team has people in Quebec and Argentina, our kernel guy is in Spain, our LSB and DrakXterm guy is in Ohio... and I am Quebecois ;-) If the Americans want to truly boycott French products, I suggest they go with the typical: Bordeaux wine and Camembert. After all, they are products that the average Joe Sixpack doesn't buy anyway, as he prefers Budweiser and Cheez Whiz ;-) During my last trip to NYC, I was shocked at the fact that you can buy beer 24/24 (except sunday mornings) at any corner store, while you have to go to a Liquor Store to get wine, and that any decent bottle costs about the same price as a Windows XP server box, that is, an arm and a leg...

Re: [expert] Lilo conf lines
Hi Anne, actually - when I do an operating System backup - there are only 2 things I do backup. From my Home partition "/home/smurphy" I perform as user root a: tar zcvf backup_etc.tar.gz /etc tar zcvf bac,up_mail.tar.gz /var/spool/mail This backups the entire /etc directory. All configuration files are held in there - should be. The other things I do always do. I always create a /usr/local and an /opt partition. These are very important. If I install/compile software on my own - it goes under /usr/local/. If I install a big package using so called install.sh scripts - they always go into /opt . OK - whjat is very important here is to make sure you remember the partition of the /usr/local /opt and /home partitions. B.e. on my System these are: Filesystem 1K-blocks Used Available Use% Mounted on /dev/hda1 577096164548383232 31% / /dev/hda3 3960976 1150992 2809984 30% /home /dev/hda8 8159388 5046008 2698908 66% /opt /dev/hda1014594836 7120312 6733128 52% /scratch /dev/hda7 489960 62377402284 14% /tmp /dev/hda2 3960976 2148128 1611636 58% /usr /dev/hda9 4055776195284 3654464 6% /usr/local /dev/hda6 3083440172068 2754740 6% /var Here you see - /home is hda3 /opt is hda8 The etc-Directory - e.g. configuration files - are backuped in the /home directory. Another thing you see here is the /scratch Directory. I usually put all stuff - anything - source-files, mirrors etc. into the /scratch directory. All Mails of the /var/spool/mail directory are also backed up. The Users - are all in the etc-backup - so that shouldn't be a problem :) What you need to realize in the process of reinstalling a new operating System - is that you only need to reformat the directories where you do not have "private" data in. So - what is left ? During install - all you need to do is: 1. Do not repartition your partitions - where data you want to keep relies in ! In my case these are always: /opt /home /scratch /usr/local 2. During Install - * make sure the installer assigns the partitions to the existing mount points. Best is to do a hardcopy of it first. * reformat the partitions the Operating System is in. In my case: / /usr /var /tmp I always do a tmp and a var partition. This to prevent filling of /log/* or /tmp/* files to fill the / partition and make the system unusable. The content of the /home, /opt and /scratch (in my case) will be preserved. So - I'll find all that data in there. Of course - if you are not familiar with all that stuff - make backups on another media before doing so. I do it the "Linus Torvalds" way: "Backups are for cowards. Post it and the Internet will backup it up for you" :))) Well, Linus once sent something like this to a newsgroup ;) Was a great laugh I had - but wheh I became more confident with the Systems and knewing what I was doing - i adopted the same way of thinking :) Weird - but I really never lost data since then as I always had to make sure there wouldn't be data losses. What you need to remember - the etc-backup contains all configuration stuff you had. I would never opt to copy the files over to the new system - using the backup file - if the major-number of the application has changed. If it has not changed - most probably it wouldn't make a big difference. If it has changed - open both fils in Emacs - and adapt. The /home and /opt directories will held the data/applications you had. Eventually you'll have to create ne entries in the KDE-menus for the apps if they where global (e.g. root had installed these in the KDE-System menus). If it was installed as user - the links are still in your home. If the KDE-System gets update - always move your .kde and Desktop Directories to a backup location and restore these. e.g.: cd ~ mkdir Backup mv .kde* Desktop Backup -- Log in again - and the system will recreate you new: .kde and Desktop directories and default configuratons. Try to reconfigure your system using the KDE-Control-Center. Applications - that had a configuration files or data file as kmail or organizer, kaddressbook - copy the ~Backup/.kde/share/apps/ ~/.kde/share/apps/ ~Backup/.kde/share/config/ ~/.kde/share/config/ Note that the second line - you should test. Eventually the major release numbers have changed - so you should best reconfigure manually. For the rest - if a problem occurs - send a Mail to the list ;) There always somewhere here to help ...

[expert] SNMP MIBs
Geez, I kinda feel like I should mark this OT since it's just a problem about Linux and my computer... I'm trying to use a new MIB with ucd-snmp on Mandrake 9.0. I've started doing some reading, whoever named this Simple Network Management Protocol must have been thinking "Simple in comparision to building the Golden Gate Bridge" or something. Any way, it looks like the process is to use a series of tools which compile the mib into C code and then turn it into a loadable module which the snmpwalk and snmpd agents will then be able to access transparently. My problem is that the first tool in the chain, mib2c, dies with a complaint that Perl-SNMP isn't there. But it is. perl-Net-SNMP-4.0.2-1mdk perl-SNMP-MIB-Compiler-0.06-3mdk (out of Cooker as the 9.0 version refused to install because of a fubar'd dependencies statement; however the code is still 0.06.)

Re: [expert] Boycotting MDL
Hi Mate, I would like to remember you - that what you constitution is meant to give you (gave you in the past) - the US does not give to other countries, notably the Irak, and Europe: Freedom of Speach and Decision! In this regard - I am German Citizen, due to my father's Job - born in Turky, lived there 5 year, 12 in Tunisia, 4 in Portugal, 2 in Algeria, 9 in Germany and 4 in Switzerland. So far so good - I can say - that I actually know different cultures, way of livings, and due to the 14 years Arabic/Islamic experience I had - I do know that the US is doing a big mistake by attacking a country they wouldn't care about if it hadn't Oil. The Problem with this action is - that the arabic culture is Alive way longer than the US culture and has proven to subist long generations - while US culture has last only some centuries. Now - answer me this one question only: How - does a culture - that has not even proved to be liable and correct through time - wants to prove another culture that survived several 1000Years - that they are wrong ? Sorry mate. But you guys are going to provoque the 3rd Woldware or a really big wawe of terrorism - because you don't know what you doing in long term. Believe me - I have lived with those people - and in general they _do_ care about what other cultures are doing to them - and their Interpretation of the Coran will always give them the right to call out a religious war. Remember - other cultures are thinking differently. Your way of thinking is new - but has still to be proven to be correct. If you want to really fight them - give them something to loose. What would you do - if you had nothing to loose ??? So - in other terms - I do perfectly agree that France is not willing to fight the Irak, as the Germans do. But - what are friends good for - if not telling their Friends they are doing a terrible mistake ?!!! You shouldn't listen to the war - and stop believing the Bush & Bush's puddel propaganda. Start thinking by YOURSELF for god's sake ! J. Mertin PS: I do write this - because I'm already blacklisted by the US. I am not allowed to take a flight that crosses US territory.

RE: [expert] KDE very slow in mdk9.1
This might be the DHCP problem that was talked about today at some length. Is it 9.1 RC2? If so, you'll want to wait for 9.1 final or update the DHCP packages from cooker. I'm not sure which ones, but a reading of the archives will get you where you need to be. Look for HOSTNAME in your search.

The other thing I was wondering... does Windows have any kind of polling that runs over port 631? since this is the printer port by default in Linux perhaps it's a reaction to something Windows does. In other words windows spams the network, Linux receives the spam and takes what it thinks is the right action... I'm pulling at straws here but it's all I can think of.

Gary If he's downloaded and run the last iso's for RC2 then yes KDE was slow... do the needed updates from the latest in cooker (keep doing through the weekend and you'll have 9.1 release!) and you should notice a very large improvement. On my 500mhz box here I run Ice but if I try to start Konq now it takes about 2 sec to start... so running in kde should be even faster.

[expert] Suggestion to eliminate off topic postings
The list maintainer has in the past indicated he has very little if any tolerance for off topic postings. Furthermore, an off topic list has already been created: http://edificationweb.com/mailman/listinfo/mdk-offtopic_edificationweb.com But obviously people still feel the need to use this list from time to time. so how about a rule that says if you've got an off topic discussion you're just itching to have, put it in no more than one line of your signature of a genuinely on topic e-mail, notifying where the off topic discussion can be held.

Re: [expert] Boycotting MDL
Ok, I wasn't going to do this. But after all the "Warm & Wonderful" responses that have been posted here, I just can't resist any longer. Do I support & believe in the War? Hell no! I firmly believe the Mr. Bush, and his family are wrong on this one, and need to focus on more pressing matters. But: What a great country I live in, that I can have, and openly state that opinion! My approval, or non-approval of my governments actions have nothing to do with my support of my country. Any disagreement I may have with them, I free to take up "with them". What a marvelous thing that is! We've fought long and hard to have that right. And like so many before me, I'll continue to protect that right. Something many on this list cannot know, because they've never experienced "human rights" in thier "older, more experienced" countries.

Re: [expert] KDE3.1 for MD >= 8.1?
Ya know people, There used to be a time with Linux, that what you get was really bare bones. It was the kernel, some gnu utilities, and a basic installer. Then "we the Linux community" would scurry about, and find the bits that we liked, and wanted, and we spent some time, getting to know them, and massaging them onto our systems. And when we were all done (here's the scary bit), people used to take what they had packaged up, and put it on a web site for all to use. What a fantastic model that was. That truely WAS the very heart & soul of Linux in the early days. But alas, today, we are besieged with spoiled, whiney (l)users who want it all done for them. Sod this "learn how" nonsense. You just want it all packaged up, nince & tidy for you. What a spoiled bunch of windows (l)users you are. Show some hair. Go get the friggin packages, build 'em, and then SHARE 'em! What a fantastic idea that IS! How about you quit wanting to MandrakeSoft to give you everything, and give something back? That's the way it used to work. It still should. Mandrakesoft can't possibly be expected to support a continuing production schedule, AND go find evey piece of software, and make it work with every release they've ever put out. I fall back on my original statement: Do it yourself, and share. That's what it's all about. Ric OR: Go get KDE x.xx and install it yourself! Yes, lets to the same work a thousand times over! In stead of Mandrake doing it just once and sharing it with their community. Very smart... Or you do it and share it with the community so that they do not have to do it a thousand times over. Become a Club volunteer and package KDE3.1 for club members, I bet you would get a VIP membership out of it. Want to buy your Pack or Services from MandrakeSoft? Go to http://www.mandrakestore.com

Damon, Many people are too selfish to stick to just rules. What else do you have in mind?
