[expert] trainging spamassassin from outlook2000

2003-03-27 Thread Frankie
Hi guys..

on my work machine I have to use lookout2000...

for learning purposes, I started storing spam in an outlook directory...

on my linux box, I created "spam" and "ham" mailboxes

now in outlook, I can open a spam message and go to: "Actions=>resend
message"
and have outlook email the spam with all the correct headers to the ham
mailbox on the server so it can be learned by bayes in spamassasin...


I have 3000 spam messages collected that I'd like to use for training bayes
filters.. but sending by hand is wayyy to time consuming..

Anyone know of a way I can "mass resend" all the mail in my spam directory
on outlook to the spam account on the server?


regards

Franki

[expert] medion tv card

2003-03-27 Thread Azrael
I have a slight annoyance with my tv card. Now I don't just expect it to
work with Mandrake, so I'm not complaining really ;)

However during the install procedure for 9.0 all the 9.1 betas, and now
9.1 final my tv card is recognised as being a tv card. There is even an
option to select it as being a Medion 4055 card.
However when I boot into Mandrake, I have no tv card set up. Also trying
to set one up tells me I have none.

I am curious if the two procedures to find a tv card are different (if
so why?) and also, if perhaps there is anything I can do to get the tv
card working.

Many thanks

[expert] installation/upgrade problem

2003-03-27 Thread Alberto Gianoli
Hi,

I just tried to upgrade my laptop to 9.1 and it crashes while loading
the second stage. It is not a problem of the cd because: a) the same cd
upgraded another pc without a problem and b) I got the same problem on a
second identical portable. The model is Acer Travelmate 634LC. I tried
several combination while booting: loading the alt1 kernel
(2.2.19.something) I was able to go forward, but . I got xfs
filesystems and the alt1 kernel does not support it. The one thing I
have not (yet) tried is the updatemodules.

You have to download the sources for the kernel and glx from nvidia and 
compile yourself. also under some circumstances you have to modify the 
sources (the Makefile if i remember corectly).

[expert] 9.0-->9.1 - successful experience ... and also a minor question

2003-03-27 Thread stefmit
1. I love Mandrake, and as such I was probably among the first to order (as I 
learned from this list - better directly from mandrakestore) the 9.1 package, 
BUT - anxious like everyone here - decided and obtained also the downloadable 
ISOs ... and ran from work back home to play with them ...

2. Here I am - at home - with one of my PCs that I really can take apart and 
play with any time - running a previous DVD install of Mandrake (the 
workstation DVD that came with my previously 9.0 server purchase). I chose to 
upgrade to 9.1 using the fresh CDs - put them in - run the upgrade option - 
BINGO! First hand experience with 9.1 upgrade: everything ran as smooth as it 
can get, and everything I can see right now came back up fine. Will check all 
details later, of course. So ... so far - thus - as an American I can only 
say (once again, this time about software;>): VIVE LA FRANCE!!! ;)

3. So - still having some time in hands (before the wife figures out the 
lights in my office, and walks in and "reboots" me, or "installs son in my 
lap, to clean his backplane") I decided to install some programs that I 
didn't have before (just for testing purposes), based on the newly/refreshed 
updated configuration sites for urpmi, from the good old trusted 
http://plf.zarb.org/~nanardon/index.php (this time for 9.1, of course, having 
previously removed the 9.0 entries). And here comes my question: whatever 
packages I choose to download, whether downloadable from an "unsupported" 
(plf or cooker) site, or installable from the new 9.1 CDs, I am being asked 
for the CDs of 9.1 (understandably), after which I am being asked for the 9.0 
DVD. Is this normal? (of course I could remove the 9.0 DVD from the urpmi 
config, but I thought of leaving it there for now ... just a feeling about 
this being an upgrade ...)

All in all - great product, once again! I like it even better now ... even if 
I am still running my favorite iceWM ... I will probably "bite" on the 3.1 
KDE sometimes in the weekend, and expect even more pleasant surprises (at 
least from what I've been reading here).

[expert] postgresql JDBC: so many jars?

2003-03-27 Thread SainTiss
Hi,

I've just installed 9.1 here, which seems to have a different version of
PostgreSQL than 9.0... It's 7.3 now... 
That's a good thing of course, but the postgresql-jdbc package now
contains 4 (!) different jdbc drivers, and I can't find documentation on
which one does what...

Could anyone help me out please?

Re: [expert] Savage 3D problem in MDK 9.1

2003-03-27 Thread Morten Lund

Hi

I've had some major problems with my Savage card after installation on an
IBM thinkpad T23. It could display any graphics at all - however I was able
to move my mouse and see some weird graphic.

I solved it by getting the drivers directly from Tim Roberts homepage:
http://www.probo.com/timr/savage40.html

Take the newest driver. It contains tree precompiled files. Copy them to
the correct locations as described on the homepage.

This might work for you too.

This is most likely being caused if you have any contrib rpms installed.
They will not have been updated since none are included in the 9.1 ISOs.

Add a 9.1 contrib source and run: urpmi --auto-select.
I would also remove the 9.0 dvd from the source list and verify that all
other existing sources are either for 9.1 or current cooker.

[expert] corrupted Xft.h?

Hi,

it seems to me that the new Xft.h in MDK9.1 has a few problems...

Even this simple program won't compile:

#include "Xft.h"

int main() {
return 0;
}

surely that can't be normal?

Is this a bug then?

Re: [expert] trainging spamassassin from outlook2000

2003-03-27 Thread David Whiting
How about trying to export to another format first? I haven't tried
this, but have found a few links for conversion from outlook to eudora
and mbox format.  I think eudora uses something like (the same?) mbox
format.  In my early dual-booting days (seems so long ago now... :) I
even had my kmail mailboxes symlinked to my eudora mail boxes on my
win9x partition... it sort of "worked" except for the DOS/*unix CR/LF
differences.

Once you have it in mbox format I presume it should be possible to use
scripts of some kind to do things automatically.  Too much of a
kludge, perhaps?

Anyway, here are some possibly useful links:

[expert] 9.1 and 2.5.xx kernel questions

2003-03-27 Thread flacycads
Are we going to be able to get a 2.5.xx kernel compiled with Mandrake
9.1? I gave up trying to compile a 2.5 kernel on 9.0, as apparently too many 
needed items were missing and/or unavailable (not to mention I'm not exactly 
an expert at this stuff). I figured with the newer glibc and gcc it may be 
possible, but what else is needed? I guess an upgraded module-init-tools 
according to what I've read, but will a new version exist OK on 9.1, and what 
about automake and autoconfig- do we need newer versions of those too? Has
anybody done it yet? Basically, I'm ready to compile anything needed from 
source, but before when I've tried this, I always ran into drastic versions 
of dependency hell- to such an extent I was forced to give up.

I managed to get 2.4.20 with the ck preemptive kernel patch to work
fine on 9.0, but can't find a ck or rml preemptive patch for 2.4.21 as yet, so 
I thought 2.5.65 might be worth a try, as it is already preemptive. In my 
case, the preemptive kernel gave a noticable performance boost.
Any advice is much appreciated.

Thanks,
Robert Crawford

I have not tried building this for Mandrake 9.1 yet.

If Mandrake has backported the nptl thread library into the kernel and 
glibc like Redhat 9.0 does, then it is not going to work.

The nptl threads from the 2.5.x kernel use segment registers that the 
nVIDIA driver's opengl code uses.  The collision is double-plus ungood.

If it is a similar issue (and like I said, I don't know if Mandrake has 
done this in 9.1) then you will have a problem.

I will be ordering my copy of 9.1 after payday.

   if you go into /etc/urpmi and edit the file urpmi.cfg  you'll see all
the possible "sites" and drives urpmi will access.  Anything you don't
won't want it to use just ad the line "ignore" (without the quotes) at
the end.  Then it won't ask for them again.

[expert] ssl with apache2?

2003-03-27 Thread David Guntner
I've just installed ML 9.1 (and will be joining the club as soon as I've 
got 60 bucks free :), which installs Apache 2 by default.  I don't mind 
using it (I think :), but I've got a question regarding configuring ssl for 
it.

With Apache 1.3, it was fairly straight forward to configuring your own 
site certificiate with the stuff that appeared in the configuration 
directories.  However, none of those directories or files seem to be 
present in Apache 2.  At least, not in the places I'm looking for them. :-) 
So, does anyone know how to go about generating your own site certificate 
for use with Apache 2?  As much detail as possible would be helpful. :-)

Thanks in advance for any help.

Whether I have DESKTOP=KDE, DESKMANAGER=KDM, or both in the 
/etc/sysconfig/desktop file, the system goes directly into KDE.

That was not the original configuration, but I've installed Mandrake 
7.2, then 8.1, 8.2, and 9.0 maintaining the same home partition.

In one of those installs I must have chosen a different option, or there 
is some crud in my home directory that made the change.  (I did have 
something like that happen with Mozilla.)

Anyway, I don't plan to pursue this any further.  I've put "kdm" in 
rc.local so I can log in from an X terminal.

If others have the same trouble, maybe there is a bug in kde -- maybe 
very few people ever try using Mandrake 9.0 as an application server.

Randy Kramer

[expert] Mandrake 9.1 installation: the best of the best!!

2003-03-27 Thread Francisco Alcaraz
I have installed 9.1 in two computers (one of them a laptop) and the 
experience has been the best I have ever had.

A) Pentium III 800, 256Mb Ram, Nvidia Geforce4 Ti4200, Avermedia Tv, dvd, 
cdrw, scanner epson Perfection 1200U (usb), printer epson stylus 760 (usb), 
printer hp laserjet 4L parallel, creative 128b sound card, cable-modem 128 
kb/s, Logitech wireless mouse. Ip masquering to conect the laptop (eth0 and 
eth1 presents).

Results: everythin instaled (even the scanner). Applications runing faster 
than under 9.0. Fonts fantastic!, OpenOffice looks great with antialising 
even on the menu text!

B) Toshiba Satellite 4090XCDT, 191Mb Ram, Cyber 9525 video card, sound card 
maestro 2, eth0 pcmcia.

Results: everything installed but not the included windomed (detected but, of 
course, not module). Video card well installed, but screen as one Toshiba p&p 
and not full screen avalaible (changed by one generic SVGA and full screen 
now runing ant 1024x728 16bpi). Internet installed, cups remote printers 
accesible. Great the video driver, for the first time in this laptop I can 
play Clanbomber without givin a white screen, moreover: I can run xine and 
watch video cds and avi films without problems (this never happened before!, 
thanks XFree86 4.3! :-)). Fonts wonderfulls! great appareance under gnome 
and under kde. More applications run faster than under 9.0. 

Just acpi I don't know if it is possible activate in this laptop; also I had 
some problems with supermount after a bad lecture of a cdrw, but after 
restart I haven't had any problem.

Conclusions: How could I wait until today to install 9.1 in the laptop?; I 
have several classes to give using the laptop and presentations wit 
OpenOffice and I was afraid about the results, so this afternoon, after 
finishing my last clase, I started the installation. 

Is, without doubt, the best linux distributions avalaible!!

Note for windows user: every time a new windows release appears, you need a 
best computer to run it; every time a Mandrake release appears, your old 
computer run faster and better; I was thinking about a new laptop to watch 
vcd and avi movies, but now I don't need a new one.

Belive me, install 9.1, it worth :-)

2003-03-27 Thread Kwan Lowe


Hello All:
  I've been a very happy 8.2 user for a long time. Now that 9.1 is out
I'm considering upgrading a machine. Just a couple questions:

1) Does 9.1 have an easy DVD playback solution? I.e., do either the
installation CDs come with all appropriate RPMS (including libdvdcss,
dvdread, etc) or are Mandrake specific packages availalble online?

2) If there a way to purchase the the $39 version without shipping? In
other words, charge my credit card but point me to a priority access
server for downloading the ISOs?

Thanks

Because some install programs look for that file to determine what version

Similar to Jack's is another possible way:

I compiled all kernels between 2.5.40 and 2.5.52.  There's nothing wrong
with 9.0 in that regard.

Not necessary I don't believe, though I do have both installed (ie when
you install kernel source, it doesn't require either to build, but I
don't speak authoritatively for 2.5.x).

Could you try the 9.0 kernel or the 9.0 update kernel again to verify
that it's still doing it?

[expert] Mandrake 9.1 font hinting (?) problems...

2003-03-27 Thread Jeremy Gregorio
   Mandrake 9.1 doesn't always seems to display fonts correctly. Often 
times fonts will overlap vertically or horizontally. Highlighting the 
text in question will fix the problems though. I've tried playing with 
the font hinting settings in KDE to no avail. I don't have these 
problems in Redhat 8.0 though. Is this something I can fix? Thanks again 
folks :).

Both are illegal to distribute.  Others will answer with other

In some coutries it is illegal, that is why PLF was formed. Go here:
http://plf.zarb.org/
to learn more. PLF is a project of some individual developers (some work 
for Mandrake as well, s) to provide packages for things that have 
varying levels of legality depending on the country. There is also a PLF 
ISO (the 9.1 PLF ISO is in beta now) to ease installation of PLF 
packages. The ISO has the Mandrake installer built in and if you boot 
from it during the original install, it adds PLF as one of the package 
groups during install. If you want to install PLF after the fact then 
you can easily just install the individual RPMS as you need them. All 
the packages you need are found on PLF.

PLF mirrors are listed on the site.

Here is what I did with Apache 2.0.44 under Mandrake 9:

Creating and setting the key

.- create the key and request:
  openssl req -new > mysite.csr

.- remove the passphrase from the key (optional. read about security
risks):
  openssl rsa -in privkey.pem -out mysite.key

.- convert request into signed cert:
   openssl x509 -in mysite.csr -out mysite.cert -req -signkey mysite.key
\ -days 365

The Apache-SSL directives that you need to use the resulting cert are:
  SSLCertificateFile /path/to/certs/new.cert.cert
  SSLCertificateKeyFile /path/to/certs/new.cert.key

I created the subfolder /usr/local/apache2/certs and copied mysite.cert
and mysite.key to it. 

If you are going to use virtual hosts, enter in httpd.conf 

NameVirtualHost *:80



SSLEngine off

DocumentRoot /your/web/site/root/
ServerName www.yoursitename.com
ServerAdmin [EMAIL PROTECTED]


This is only needed if your site is going to have secure and insecure
pages.

.- In ssl.conf

DocumentRoot /mnt/windows/snc/codigo
#ServerName cualquier_cosa_pues_esta_comentada
ServerAdmin [EMAIL PROTECTED]
#.. rest of virtual host settings
#   Server Certificate:
SSLCertificateFile /usr/local/apache2/certs/yoursite.cert
#   Server Private Key:
SSLCertificateKeyFile /usr/local/apache2/certs/yoursite.key


.- Start apache using:
/usr/local/apache2/bin/apachectl -D SSL -k start

Thanks for the info guys. Very interesting, and now I know it can be done. 
Maybe I'll give it a try from a 2.5.65 from kernel.org first, just to see if 
I can master the procedure. I did succeed with the 2.4.20 + patches, and I 
have rebuilt the 2.4.21-pre4 srpm for athlon-xp, and that worked too. If I'm

[expert] 9.1 says "No DISK drive!"

2003-03-27 Thread Ron Stodden
Installing 9.1 from an hd.img floppy immediately says "No DISK drive!"

My two hard disks are primaries on hde and hdg.

They have to be because they are ATA100 or above and IDE0 and IDE1 only 
support ATA66 and below.

Many motherboards operate this way.

9.0 installed and runs perfectly on this configuration.

The strong implication is that nobody in Mandrake development or QA uses 
ATA100 or up disk drives - true?

Once more, another release showstopper reported by Ron.

When can we expect a fix, and how will it be delivered?

K makes sense  lazy sense (for the programmer who created it) but
sense nonetheless.  Wonder if SuSE has this file as well.

I've seen them discussing the multimedia one in cooker.  It's supposed
to be designed with things like low latency pre-emptive etc for use in
multimedia applications.  Sound recording, Video editing ... etc.

Re: [expert] Mandrake 9.1 font hinting (?) problems...

2003-03-27 Thread Miark
Improper font hinting is usually a subtle problem. This sounds more like
an X server problem. Just a guess.

i just experienced a similar problem.  the cause was that kmix 
was showing incorrect settings. the pcm slider was showing 
100% but when i ran aumix it showed pcm at 0%.  i changed the 
slider settings using aumix and the sound problem was fixed.

Been looking for the mail in cooker but can't find it.  Since the card
type wasn't mentioned and just in case it's a SBLive it seems that some
SBLives are having trouble with the newer snd-emuxxx driver.. moving
back to the older version seems to solve the problem.. sorry I can't be
more specific can't find the dang e-mail.

No, you're very right. I've let the box running strings under IPTables run
for nearly 12 hours, and I think your conclusions about it are pretty
accurate. It bogs down the system, particularly because it is only running
64M of memory. However, I added a few sticks of SDRAM this morning and
compared it to last night's performance, and I didn't see that much
difference. However, when I compared the overall performance of the box with
another identical box running standard IPTables, I still noticed a
performance hit. 

I'm not that enamored of the idea. Back to the drawing board. Thanks to
everyone who gave input to this idea. It *does* block strings from Code Red,
but at a pretty substantial performance hit. 

Dave
I know this is late in the thread, but I've found adding a REWrite rule 
to httpd.conf to be the ticket! I haven't seen any, and I mean None of 
the M$ crud in my logs since. There has been zero (0) performance drop 
on this AMD 233/ 128MB SDRAM box since taking this action.
Mark,

 Care to explain to the terminally dense (me) what a REWrite rule is? 
please.

James



Just like I posted at the beginning of this thread, lo these many weeks
ago :-)
http://www.monkeynoodle.org/lrp/deworming.html
It's been kind of entertaining watching Dave and Mark go off in search
of the most difficult way to do it while ignoring that URL until they
finally snipped it out... that is, when I've had time to notice.
Brutally busy week and I'm going to bed now.
O nay... that was the very first thing I did. Went right to the URL you 
so gracefully posted and snatched up the treasure on the other end. I 
immediately made it part of my httpd.conf and it's working wonderous, 
lovely things for my machine at no cost to me. :) LOVE IT!!

thanks a ton Jack!

[laughing despite myself] Shame on you for not stopping Mark and I from
chasing rainbows, but I do submit the "strings" method, while a bit obscure,
works just fine. However, the minute I saw your message, I went to the
"Green Room" and immediately applied the RedirectMatch line. I'm too tired
to sit up and watch it, but I'll check it tomorrow morning. 

Thanks. 

Dave
I had to use the ReWrite rule on my setup, but at the moment I can't 
remember why. I'd have to go back and check the original docs at the 
posted URL. Shiza! I'd better get back there and bookmark that treasure 
in case I need it again at some point in the future.
