Why I'm asking is that I had a Yes I do, but it has been running for quite some time, but now that I think about it, the motherboard failed in it about two months ago and I swapped it out for an old KT133a board I had lying around. Same nic, but it could be the change in board somehow changedd the personality of the machine. The other thing that changed about it is that the Norton AV subscription expired awhile back and periodically a box pops up asking me to renew.

(can't remember what the exact version is, but I believe its 4.3.0) It's a Jaton AGP-71 with 4 MB RAM using the S3 Trio 3D chip. With an older Dell 17" connected to it, 1024x768x16 bit seems to work at its best. I don't recall if I tried this card under any version of Mandrake. Some S3 video cards will work in RedHat that won't work at all or well enough in Mandrake. Most would tell you that your better off replacing the card.

I think it will all work okay if you use the nvidia driver. if you do not, there are problems with the open nvnet and ide drivers, and I believe the agp stuff is not quite up to par either. If you don't have a problem with the binary drivers, than the nforce2 should work nicely.

[expert] S3 Trio 3D and XFree86 4.3
There was a thread recently about running XFree 4.3 on the S3 Trio 3D, so I'm hoping one of those people may be able to help me get it working. I've got 2 boxes I am trying to configure with this chip in, and 2 very different monitors - and both produce the same problems. I would really like to get this working because of the things that don't work with the XFree 3.3 driver - including the RENDER extenstion problem. This is Mandrake 9.1, although I have seen some of the same problems in 9.0. In XFdrake, I have selected the XFree 4 S3virge driver, since the XFree86 site says this is the appropriate one. I then select my monitor, resolution, etc. Then, when I start X it gives a rather strange result: The left 2 thirds of the screen is perfect. The right third is a repeat of part of the left section. The right third of that third does the same thing - and so on for a few more times. In other words, it isn't really usable. Using the left 2 thirds of the screen, however, I have demonstrated to my satisfaction that the problems I experienced with XFree 3 do NOT appear in XFree 4. So I would really like to get it working properly. Any help would be greatly appreciated. Brian. _ Hotmail is now available on Australian mobile phones.

I could not get it to bite either way. But, assuming you saw my other email about the mdk and red hat boxes. Remote: ssh -v SSH Version OpenSSH_2.3.0 FreeBSD localisations 20010713, protocol versions 1.5/2.0. Compiled with SSL (0x0090605f). Local: # ssh -v OpenSSH_3.4p1, SSH protocols 1.5/2.0, OpenSSL 0x0090609f I think your onto something with the ssh1/ssh2, I was having trouble getting scp to work with an identity file the other day, I wonder if that's related. I also tried # shfsmount -O "-1" [EMAIL PROTECTED]/home/user /mnt/gfx forcing ssh to use Protocol version 1 with no luck. THEN. I tried ANOTHER FreeBSD box in the same data center running a BSD and it works fine. I thought maybe it's had different OS or ssh versions but it appears it's the same OS version and SSH version. Broken Box %uname -a FreeBSD gfx-design.com 4.4-RELEASE FreeBSD 4.4-RELEASE #0: Wed Aug 28 19:41:18 GMT 2002 [EMAIL PROTECTED]:/usr/src/sys/compile/SERVER i386 ssh -V SSH Version OpenSSH_2.3.0 FreeBSD localisations 20010713, protocol versions 1.5/2.0.

Honestly don't think anyone has come up with a work around for this. Disabling java would work for sure. May be the only option right now since it's so new. As for the rest..

I would think that instead of --resign that --addsign is being used to include the Mandrake key (either can be used on signed Or non-signed rpms) but --resign is more properly used to revoke/replace the current sig. The problem involving signs and Contrib has arisen due to a miss-understanding by some of the contributers. Contrib rpms should only be signed If they are being sent to Lenny via Incoming. If the packager has upload access and are committing the rpms themselves, they Should Not be signed. This has today been discussed on the cooker list so that hopefully it will soon be a non-issue.

In your .profile (.bash_login or whichever you have for setting up your various variables and things when you login), put the following lines: export EDITOR=joe export VISUAL=$EDITOR Replace "joe" with your editor of choice. The reason for putting both lines above is that some programs use $EDITOR and some use $VISUAL to see which editor you want.

[expert] Problem with eth0: eht0:9 ?????
A friend of mine is trying to have Internet runing Mandrake 9.1; it has a cable-modem very similar to the mine and the same internet provider. dhcp-client also installed, but until now it has been impossible to have the network runing :-(.

[expert] lilo ??& install 9.1
Hi all I've had a real bad experience using a hard drive that previously had winxp on it. I ran very low on HD space so I took the 60GB HD out of the winxp machine , installed as hdc and backed up what files I needed off that drive. next step was to delete the ntfs partitions and repartition with ext3, All apparently went well, and I transfered wanted files from hda to hdc. Checked everything was all right, and all the files moved across were in a partiton on hdc. the next step was to reinstall the system on to the 60GB drive(was hdc), and to use just 1 HD on this machine. So fresh install of 9.1 and this is were things went horribly wrong, on boot up no partitions had been written, tried to repair and failed, tried using the rescue facility ...that failed. So again another fresh install and this time made a boot floppy as well. again on reboot failure, so used the rescue facility to rerun the boot loader, Tried another bootup , same again reran the boot sector loader from rescue and this time the next reboot was successful.. After speaking to a few people I'm not the only person to have had problems with drives after winxp was installed on them. I suspect this may be a gates measure to deliberately make it awkward to change OS's once winxp has been installed, microsoft have done this before. Maybe ,and this is the point I'm trying to make, the developers need to look at the lilo or grub, to assume the MBR to contain hostile material and delete it before installing. If a newbie had decided to kick winxp off their machine and move to linux, I feel they would give up trying to install linux and go back to winblows. regards Richard -- richard bown <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> Want to buy your Pack or Services from MandrakeSoft?

James Ok, I checked it and you are right. My mirror ftp.club-internet.fr has the same problem... Vincent, if you are reading this I guess this kind of thing is in your ballpark. I checked two additional mirrors (mandrake.secsup.org and slug.usc.edu and got the same results.) I don't have my disks handy to check them out and see if it is the same on the disk set, but it definitely is bad on the mirrors I've been to. Odds on it's a bad sig on the package, but to be on the safe side I'd say to grab the source and build out from there. To be consistent with MDK and to get a working version the way you want (avoiding any chance of a highjack.) do this one. Download the src rpm then do rpm -Uvh chkrootkit-xx.src.rpm. Also download the real src tarball Replace the one in /usr/src/RPM/SOURCES with the one you downloaded (make sure that it's bzip not gz or the other way around if needed, then cd ../SPECS. If you then do rpm -ba chkrootkit.spec (or whatever the spec name is.) you will rebuild an rpm for yourself that you know is from clean source and has all the proper MDK hooks. Frankly I'd just build from source as normal with the --prefix=/usr when running configure and go from there. James > > On Thu, 2003-06-12 at 04:59, Tango Echo wrote: > > Thanks for the reply.

[expert] Change default editor.
Hi, I would like to globally change the default editor in Mandrake 9.1 (vim I think) to another one. How can that be done? I have been looking around and been asking on IRC, but I am not able to make it work. To be clear: I *never* want vim to open any file. I want another editor to simply "replace" vim by default. Please do not try to convince me to use vi/vim.

I'm assuming this means a kernel panic? I had to force a hard reboot, whereupon a I got a message about some xfont being not there, and the xserver will not start now, so X won't work. Short of a complete re-install, can anyone tell me how to fix the database so it does not crash? and maybe then it will fix the xfont/server problem? Thanks (desparate).

Re: [expert] Wanted to try wine
Hi, actually, I've managed to get starcraft running using the pre-built free rpm ("normal" + glibc2) on http://wine.dataparty.no/ It's always the latest CVS of the free version of wine (the one that is included with MDK actually). What's even nicer, I don't even need an existing windows installation... I just followed the instructions (quite easy) to setup a fake windows root, and starcraft works fine (although battle.net has problems, and broodwar does't work either). It's very stable, and I haven't run into a single problem wrt starcraft yet...

Those apps run smoother with crossover than they do in windows :-) For games (forgot to mention that) you're better of using wineX I suppose, but I'm not familiar with it. I'm not much of a gamer.

RE: [expert] Wanted to try wine
If you want non-alpha software for running Windows applications and you are willing to pay for it, hop on over to one of the following sites: http://www.vmware.com http://www.winforlin.com/ If you're looking for a more polished version of wine for gaming and are willing to pay for it, hop on over to the following site: http://www.transgaming.com If what you want is a more polished version of wine for MS Office compatibility and are willing to pay for it, hop on over to the following site: http://www.codeweavers.com Lastly, if you want to try your hand at the latest version of (yes, alpha) wine for free, hop on over to the following site: http://sourceforge.net/project/showfiles.php?group_id=6241 Wine is Alpha software so your success rate for running Windows applications will be hit or miss. By your post, it looks like you're interested in gaming. That being the case, I would recommend the Transgaming option. It's good software by a decent company at a reasonable price. It will probably be your only option for getting WarCraft to work. StarCraft on the other hand will work with the free version of wine - and has for a long time.

For games, though, you will want to get Transgaming's version of wine, called WineX (because it added DirectX and other functional support for games). You can get the source to WineX for free, or pay a minimal subscription fee (as little as $15 for three months, last time I checked) and download an rpm file. It comes with a decent GUI config utility, which also allows you to easily install and uninstall your Windows programs. -- Dave Sherman MCSE, MCSA, CCNA "Windows NT was supposed to hit Unix hard (it did - like a bug hitting a windshield)" - Andrew Grygus, aaxnet.com Want to buy your Pack or Services from MandrakeSoft?

Re: [expert] Wanted to try wine
-BEGIN PGP SIGNED MESSAGE- Hash: SHA1 Remove the supplied wine and either spend a little and get the very good (for gaming) WineX rpm from Transgaming (or you can freely download the source and build it yourself, but it is a royal PITA). You could try Codeweaver's Wine (for a small fee, me thinks) which is a nice, but slowly updated version. Or you could simply try the latest build of Wine from WineHQ for free. StarCraft has long worked well with wine of various stripes. I personally use WineX and am a paying member of the Transgaming community and I know first-hand that StarCraft works with it. As for other games, your success with games is probably higher with WineX than any other version since that is what Transgaming is entirely focused on in the wine builds. In any case, it will still be hit-and-miss. You could go to the Transgaming site and search for the game you are interested in and see how it is rated in useability/playability or you can simply peruse the entire list. You can have two different wines installed as well - WineX uses a binary called winex while WineHQ and codeweavers use wine...and I believe they will install into different locations so as not to conflict but I am not certain on this. praedor On Thursday 12 June 2003 11:22 am, Jim C wrote: > I've never run a windows emulator before and I wanted to see if I could get > some Blizzard (StarCraft, WarCraft etc...) games to run under Mandrake 9.1 > > What I discovered is that 9.1 comes with only 1 emulator (that I've found > so far) and it is a freakin Alpha.

Re: [expert] Signatures on packages....
login as root instead of using sudo or MandrakeUpdate as a user -- the keys are in root's keyring. Or find them on the web and add them to your own ring.

Thanks for the reply. Unfortunately, I'm still getting the error after following your instructions... The gnu pg seemed to install fine. I'm also running mdk 9.1 BTW.

[expert] Updated 18mdk "update" kernel...
Since the official MDK 9.1 update kernel still lacks some features, I decided to add some of them myself with the following changes: - Keep version/release to not breake 3:rd party modules / addons... - My latest vesafb patch that you can find in 2.4.21-rc7-ac1 - nForce2 UDMA/133 reporting (but I dont program above UDMA100 for now) - Updated pci.ids to "help in bugtracking"... - Updates to Firewire (ieee1394) revision 925, including nForce2 support - Updated Adaptec scsi aic7xxx, added 79xx (U320 cards) support - ACL support for XFS filesystem And since I haven't enough homepage space, I just provide the standard kernel precompiled. If you need any other, grab the src.rpm and rebuild the ones you need...

[expert] Request on pricing for CS2.1 without Support
Hi Mandrake Soft, as Proposed - could I request such a support-less version of CS2.1 ? How much would it cost ? Thx for our Input.

Thats not the main point. Just wanted to say that wikis in other languages will not be a copy of the english one. And the prefix solution is not that optimal since a f.i. german speaker will only see sporadic german sites.

If I would have a wish for free I would like a lot the translation feature of the club. It is very handy and allows easy translation of posts. The only multilanguage support I found on the twiki-web is the translate-keywords plugin. In wikipedia phase III you put a special keyword at the bottom of the page and have then a link at the upper left corner like [francais|espanol|deutsch] depending on the languages that wiki-page is translated (Have a look here: http://openfacts.berlios.de/index-en.phtml?title=Mandrake). But the last option is not optimal. If a translation is done and a change in the mainpage is done the translator should be notified, maybe the other way round would be usefull too. Furter it is more handy like in the club, if the content that will be translated will be filled in in the page to translate. This way all markup can be taken from the original and just the text be translated. A babelfish button for untranslated pages would indeed be nice too.
