[expert] Where are libacl.so.1 and libattr.so.1?
I've just tried running urpmi on samba-common (latest security update) and have encountered a problem. The installation fails with a statement that samba-common and samba-client require libacl.so.1 and libattr.so.1. I've tried running urpmi on libacl and it comes back with "Installation failed: libacl1==2.0.0 is needed by libacl1-devel-2.0.0-1mdk" When I run urpmf on libacl it comes back with libacl1-devel:... but no libacl package. Is there a libacl1 package to go with the libacl1-devel package? "urpmi" and "urpmf" aren't convinced evidently. I'm running Mandrake 8.2 on an IBM 600e thinkpad. All the other updates have been applied.

[expert] samba, sharing, nautilus, me, frustration
I click on a folder in nautilus, and tell it to share.
smb is running.
I try and see the share from the Mac, and can't get a thing.
This is frustrating, I don't /really/ expect things to be this easy..
but.. I must confess.. I did wish it would be. Because it looks as if it
should be.
There's probably something quite simple I missed. Or maybe there's a
common problem here? Either way, I am happy to wait for 9.1 final, but
could someone tell me what to do when using 9.1 in order to share
folders easily?
many thanks

RE: [expert] Where are libacl.so.1 and libattr.so.1?
Hey, The way I did it is that I made a copy of my samba config files, then I did an urpme and took samba out. Then I went to the main ftp site, and manually got samba, and libacl1, and libattr1. Installed them again, checked that the config files were intact, and started up the server. Maybe if you do as root an "urpmi.update -a" followed by an "urpmi libacl1 libattr1" it will install them, and you probably don't need to uninstall samba and you can upgrade directly... I just wasn't sure where the problem was so I decided to start clean on the matter (worked for me though). The urpmi solution may be more elegant though.

[expert] Problems after uipgrading via cooker
Hi, I know that I should expect problems in using cooker, but I wanted to look a quanta without it crashing, so I added a cooker url and did a urpmi quanta, it suggested that it wanted to update various packages, in them were some kde packakages and xfree packages. After the 'upgrade', all the apps that I started where very wide, and I mean VERY wide, even the menu entries from the K were wider than the screen. the login screen is also unusable for the same reason. I wonder if anyone has seen this before and knows how to get out of it ?, I did think of trying to do a complete update to cooker, but that was 1500MB, and over a DSL link thats going to take some time...

If Samba is really listening on the right interface, the next step is to check shorewall. If you've only got one interface, you're probably safe running the firewall tool from DrakConf (drakfirewall). If you've got multiple interfaces (including modems, VMWare, VPNs, &c) then you'd better read shorewall's documentation.

What I suspected after my compiling problem was that the scripts were written for Red Hat systems. It turns out to be true, and the only system they have tested on. Their stance is that this PC Card is Linux compatible, though not necessarily Mandrake compatible. They suggested that I look to the Web to see if anyone has source code or RPMs for Mandrake on this Card. Well, I have already search high and wide, but found nothing reflecting Mandrake for this card. I will continue to look, of course. I did try, just for the fun of it, to play around with my /etc/pcmcia/config to see if I could manipulate the O/S to load some module that would work. 'tulip' didn't work, using your manfid setting and the ones that showed up on boot-up. I tried 'pcnet_cs' with the manfid settings I am seeing and it still wouldn't load. One thing that tech support did answer me on was what the chipset used on this card would either be Realtek or National Semiconductor, but he wouldn't be able to tell me which. Beyond this, I am on my own. Thanks again for your help. If you come up with any ideas, please post them here or write to me directly.

Re: [expert] Question regarding rpmbuild opts.
Greg,
Does the #Macros section in your .rpmrc file substitute for the .rpmmacros
file mentioned in the Mandrake rpm how-to? CyberCFO sent me your file when
I was trying to rebuild XFree86 for athlon-xp, but I could never get it to
work with it, or any other srpm as user, and always had to use --target
athlon, and the regular rpmrc file to rebuild srpms as root, which I know
isn't the preferred method. I have all the correct directories in /home as
required, but I must be missing something.

Re: [expert] Howto add Update Sources (Mandrake Update)?
> The installation program runs from a RAMdisk when you have 64MB or more > of memory. If you have less, as you do, the installation program must run So that's it. I'm not affected by lack of RAM, but it's good to see a coherent explanation. On the same issue - how much RAM does the installation program really need these days? As a fairly longterm user of Linux, I've seen and done installs in as low as 4 megs of RAM up to my current system configuration, which has 256 megs. As memory resources have increased *quite a bit* in the last several years, it also seems that the installers are getting fancier and requiring more RAM as well. One trick we used (back in the days of SLS and early Slackware) was to define and manually attach a swap partition as soon as was possible during the install process. That way, one could still install on a system that didn't quite have the recommended memory requirements. This doesn't seem applicable these days - at least in that the current installer has to wait until the partition definition screen (i.e., diskdrake) to set these partitions up for us. And, consequently, if there's not enough RAM to get yuo this far, you're in trouble to say the least. > I dunno about this, but I would try using urpmi.addmedia instead. Yeah, that works, but you have to install things after the stuff is isntalled on CD#1. On the other hand, I don't have a burner and all I physically had when I installed 9.0 was the first CD. It would have been nice to be able to do on-the-fly urpmi.addmedia's to install stuff from the rest of the system via other means (could be FTP or HD). And in my instance the HD install method blew up early in the install because it could not find a hdlist.cz file :(. Right now I have CD's 2 and 3 ISO's loopmounted and use those for sources for urpmi. Works nicely. > Miark Want to buy your Pack or Services from MandrakeSoft? Go to http://www.mandrakestore.com
Re: [expert] Howto add Update Sources (Mandrake Update)?
> I was installing Mandrake 9.0 on a really small (32 Meg) PC. Usually, > the install asks what Mandrake cd's you have available, but each time I Hmm. That's kind of hard :(. I thought Miark summed it up best - the installer can't ask for other CD's if the installer has to be on the CD and not on a RAM disk. I'm not certain on memory requirements for the installer. As I commented (to Miarks post) on the list it makes for difficulties if the "other" cd's (2 &3) aren't as easily accessible as is the first one. Ideally, you'd want them all available at once. One can do an urpmi.addmedia after the fact (as I do, since physically I only have a #1 CD and don't have a burner) but it has to be done after the initial install, as far as I know. My previous installs have been HD installs - I just pointed the install to a place on my HD where I had all the packages downloaded to. For 9.0 it's a bit more complex because 1) the HD install broke my box, and 2) I have ISOs for the two other CD's and not the RPMs themselves. So I elected to loopback mount the other 2 CD images some- place, and after urpmi.addmedia, I can then just add packages in as desired.

Don't just urpmi samba-common, use --auto-select. Anyways, libacl1 and
libattr1 are on your install CDs.

Sure, having the sources installed isn't necessary unless you want to compile your own kernel or want to peek :). But some packages may want the kernel headers installed to compile. Luckily, the kernel headers can be installed separately from the rest of the kernel source (kernel headers go under /usr/include/linux by way of a symlink usually). > JG Want to buy your Pack or Services from MandrakeSoft?

Let's see... I could have been really quick and put them out the day I built
them without any testing... would that have been fast enough for you?
See, this is what makes me laugh, and I don't mean to pick on you, Bryan.
When we announced the product EOL policy, people were in an uproar because
they felt they deserved longer support periods. Now we're apparently not
releasing fast enough (the "it's been days now" comment).
Make up your minds, folks. =) Either you want us to support stuff for a
long time, or you want updates quickly. You can't have both.
Remember, for glibc and the kernel, we're building for the following
platforms:
7.2
SNF7.2
8.0
8.0/PPC
8.1
8.1/IA64
8.2
8.2/PPC
MNF8.2
9.0
Corporate Server 2.1
9.1
9.1/PPC
If you want things tested, it takes time. Heck, building glibc and the
kernels for all of these platforms is a 2 day job just *compiling* this
stuff.
Of course, next week five of those will be gone, which will make the
response time much quicker. The whole purpose of the EOL policy.
In other words, by "robbing" you of "free" support for old (obsolete)
versions, we're actually providing you better service.
Don't you just love how that works out?
Anyways, more to the point... next week at some point you will have both
kernel and glibc updates.
And as an aside, questions like this make me chuckle. I know you're eager,
but you must realize no one is sleeping at the wheel here. Questions like
this are more often than not likely to go unanswered... we are busy building
and testing these updates and answering this stuff more verbosely than
"soon" is time consuming.
Be patient and rest assured that they will be available as quickly as
realistically possible; they take a little longer because we'd like to be
sure they're ok before you all install a bum kernel (now how much fun would
that be?)

[expert] Logitech USB Wheel Mouse
I was able to solve my PS2 mouse/CD burning problem by shifting the mouse to USB. But here's the catch. I was unable to use mousedrake to configure it. It kept complaining that "no usb bus found\n at /usr/sbin/mousedrake line 54." Bull, I type this with a USB mouse configured with modprobing input.o, mousedev.o and rebooting my system, which found it during hardware detection (hey I thought I didn't ever have to reboot!) Now, I am trying to get this to be a proper wheel mouse which it was as a PS2 mouse, but as a USB mouse I can't get the wheel detected. I edited /etc/X11/XF86Config in the Pointer section: from: Section "Pointer" Protocol "IMPS/2" Device "/dev/psaux" ZAxisMapping 4 5 EndSection to: Section "Pointer" Identifier "USB Mice" #added 03/21/03 Protocol "IMPS/2" # Device "/dev/psaux" #commented out 03/21/03 Device "dev/input/mice" #added 03/21/03 ZAxisMapping "4 5" #quotes added 3/21/03 Buttons "5" #added 03/21/03 EndSection With this, I still don't get a wheel mouse. I have the wheel button functioning, but not the wheel motion. This XF86Config file differs from the ones I have previously seen. where are the quotes around the names of the fields? What about the quotes around "4 5" has Mandrake changed things? Or am I behind the times. what should my pointer section say to get this mouse to work right?

I don't have a tv card and I've never used avifile but you might have better success with mencoder (part of mplayer), see http://mplayerhq.hu. Examples seem to suggest it's possible to use mencoder to grab the input from a TV (card) and encode the audio into AVI or other supported formats. Couple that with a crontab setup and you've got a tivo :). It also seems you have a very high level of control on the encoding side, but it's also difficult to figure out how to do it :). There are some examples here: http://mplayerhq.hu/DOCS/documentation.html#tv_examples/ Whether mpleyer is more or less difficult to compile than avifile given your current setup is left as an exercise (grin). And there should be RPMs of both, try plf (plf.zarb.org). One of these days I should get a tv card. It seems there would be interesting possibilities. > JG Want to buy your Pack or Services from MandrakeSoft? Go to http://www.mandrakestore.com

Re: [expert] Question regarding rpmbuild opts.
Greg (CyberCFO), I'm wrc1944 from the pclinuxonline srpm discussion. It's a small cyberworld after all! All these different names can get confusing. I try to keep it simple and only use wrc1944 as my Linux username and forums id, and have one email address, and try to use only one password if possible. Anyway, I could never get the file to build as user. I tried it with the .rpmrcmacros file (and my user name and tmp directory) as instructed in the how-to. I followed directions explicitly, but I guess I must have missed something. I'll give it another try- maybe I missed a typo or had a copy/paste error.
