Re: [expert] In-Wall home networking questions.
Please ignore my last post about redoing the map. If you want a full firewall then you will probably want to have a Linux/Mandrake machine in place of the Linksys. The firewall/ Linux box must do NAT. If you are just dealing with a standard Why? I've been using it on my home net but it occurs to me that it is kind of a pain in the 6. Now I may be wrong about how NAT works but my understanding is that the gateway box stamps each packet with information that tells it which box on the local net is communicateing with what system on the outside. It is also my understanding that not all applications are tolerant of this alteration. I can think if several I've had trouble with. Isn't there a transparent means of doing ICS out there?

Re: [expert] In-Wall home networking questions.
Please ignore my last post about redoing the map. If you want a full firewall then you will probably want to have a Linux/Mandrake machine in place of the Linksys. The firewall/ Linux box must do NAT. If you are just dealing with a standard home network then the Linksys is most likely just fine. I am using one at my home with 5 machines behind it.

Re: [expert] In-Wall home networking questions.
Yes a Linksys does act as a basic firewall. This also allows you to run a private subnet behind the Linksys and all out going traffic will take on the address of the Linksys (NAT). You can setup one machine to be in the DMZ (not blocked by the Linksys). Linksys allows address 2-10 to port forwarding. I am actually using a linksys at work to hide the machines in the development lab from my checkpoint firewall. The linksys will do 10/100 between ports and 10Mb to the outside. For cable/dsl this is just fine sine cable/dsl is not capable of even 10Mb.

They improved things with 4.3 and the others followed suite (since they all build off of xterm.) -e switch will now open the term window... and then automatically close it when the program finishes execution. Which is why with top it stays open and with pwd it flashes xterm -hold -e pwd opens the window, and holds it open till you use the X or type exit. Advantage I've found is I can now put xterm -hold -e echo " I've reached point x" or some such nonsense in a shell program and it will stop... wait for me to close the window before proceeding.

OK, in /etc/X11/gdm the following files/directories exist. factory-gdm.conf gnomerc* locale.alias PreSession/ XKeepsCrashing* gdm.conf Init/ PostSession/ Sessions/ There is a directory called Sessions... in it is Default@ GNOME IceWM KDE WindowMaker (I have all of these WM's installed.) Default is currently a symlink to KDE. According to rpm -q --whatprovides and urpmf these files aren't provided by anything. the KDE file looks like this !/bin/sh exec /etc/X11/xdm/Xsession KDE and has permission 755 The others look the same but with the name changed. You could just create the dir and the files by hand in short order, and gdm will be available to you. On kdm go to /usr/share/config/kdm there is a file in this dir called README that tells you how to regenerate this directory and it's files. This may not have gotten run correctly during install.. Other possibility is that /etc/init.d/mandrakefirstime didn't run right. I believe but I'm not sure that is the program that runs all of the needed generation of these.

Re: [expert] In-Wall home networking questions.
I assume you ment RJ-45. All you need is a switch that will handle all the network lines that go into the basement. If you have cable/DSL for internet then you should get a Linksys Cable/DSL router(you might want to get a wireless which also has RJ-45.

Hi there, If you're needing the java plugin for Netscape, or Mozilla go follow the link below and you'll be able to download and install the java plugin. And by the way...this does not require the download and install of Sun's JDK or JRE packages. This is a seperate "browser" plugin.

[expert] In-Wall home networking questions.
I recently did some renovation on my house. While all of the walls were open, I had the electrician wire cat5, rj-46, and voice cable to every room in the house, and routed directly to the basement. I need some help coming up with a strategy for setting up the home networking. Should I get a large router and connect it to a server in the basement, or should I go with a prefab integrated modular networking system? I see that Leviton (http://www.leviton.com) has a system to integrate home networks. It's a box that goes in the basement and routes all cable, phone, lan, and I think can be connected to a home surge protector, server, and cable/dsl modem. But I'm not sure if it's big enough to accomodate all 18 connectors I have. I would love to use a product like this if it was affordable, because it would be a much cleaner solution. Does anybody have any experience doing this sort of thing, or with any specific products? Do you have an recommendations for me? I appreciate your help, and I appologize for cross-posting to both newbie and expert, but I figured it might cross boundaries here. -- Paul Rodriguez <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> Want to buy your Pack or Services from MandrakeSoft?

Re: [expert] S3 Trio 3D and XFree86 4.3
Thanks Kelley, but my problem is with XFree86, not with lilo and booting. I have managed to get past the problem by selecting the "vesa" driver, but this isn't really a good solution. I've also found that a couple of other people reported the same problem on the XFree86 list with 4.2.1, so it looks like it isn't a Mandrake-specific issue. There was no solution there that I could see, though. Brian.

Sorry I took so long to get back to you. I just set up 9.1 a couple nights ago with a few problems. Anyway, the problem you have is the same one I've had each time I use the virtual framebuffer. I don't know if booting using the non framebuffer mode will work but I'd give that a try first. If that works then set that as your default boot. The way that I've always done it is to edit /etc/lilo.conf to remove every line with "vga=" in it, then run lilo again. Of course you'll need to su to root to edit lilo.conf and run lilo.

At this very moment I am mirroring a local copy of this: ftp://sunsite.uio.no/pub/unix/Linux/Mandrake/Mandrake-devel/cooker/i586 Been there, done that :) If you are using fmirror or another tool (I used fmirror) it is pretty easy to do a upgrade install with the hd image. Go to the images subdir of your local copy and dd that file to a floppy. i was using urpmi to auto update but i had part 9.0 part something else (system rebuild from about 1 month ago) and found it worked much better to just upgrade that way. you could also do an 'install' but you need to be careful not to overwrite your medium (probably would have to move it to a partition that mandrake won't touch). Once you install/upgrade you could probably begin to resync with periodic urpmi. Thank you, I will use the hd.img file. But do i need to resync the entire cooker dir? (contrib, i586, SRC, PPC) or is the i586 dir enough? And can I set a cron job to automatically resync my local mirror, then run a urpmi.update -a and an urpmi --auto-select? Thanks, John Drouhard Has anyone told you about the cooksync.pl script put together by one of the guys (Dave Wasler?) on the cooker list? It is a script you can use for mirroring cooker to your local drive using rsync. !!The best part about it is that when there are updated files on the cooker server the script will rename the ***local package*** to match the name of the ***newer package*** allowing rsync to download the differences in the file instead of downloading a whole new file! Say there is an update to kdebase on the cooker server. Let's say it fixed a bug that was introduced in the last release. The fix was on a few kilobytes. You can use fget, rsync or fmirror to download the entire 18MB file, or you can rename the local file to match the name of the file on the server and rsync will download only the few kilobytes that are different. As you can imagine this saves quite a bit of time and bandwidth. This script does that. If anyone wants it I can send you a version of the script that is already set up to use the ftp.sunet.se server and can be adapted to use any cooker mirror you like. You can run diff against it and the original script to see that I have not included any harmful code. You can download the original here: http://luigiwalser.homeip.net:8080/~david/cooksync.pl -You will need to specify your local directory by opening up the script in a text editor and changing "/home/brant" to your local directory. -Then in that home directory you will need to create the directories cooker/i586/Mandrake/RPMS. When the script is run it will mirror the RPMS directory of the cooker server to /home/[your_directory]/cooker/i586/Mandrake/RPMS. Set the cron job to fire off cooksync.pl, run urpmi off of the directory above and you're set.

Re: [expert] clustering
Olaf, If I'm understanding you right then, OpenMosix is a kind of Grid Computing for Linux? It's been a while since I messed with OpenMOSIX. OpenMOSIX is basically just a kernel patch and subsequent setup of a config file here or there. The kernels at the site are RedHat kernels but I've never had any trouble with them. I was able to install and get it working but I was never able to understand what good it was doing. Even if I set the process migration threshold (i.e. the percentage of CPU load at which new process would be started on other systems instead of locally) I was unable to discern any noticeable changes in performance.

Intentional by Mozilla. the bug was that the version in 9.0 didn't
default to realplayer if you had it installed. So you aren't really
seeing a bug but rather a fix. Long after rpm existed in our world
RealPlayer switched to a 3 letter extension from a 2 letter one (windows
conformity here) so .rm became xxx.rpm (real player media) since
there was no "copyright" on this extension... nor is there possible to
be one. It's not a legal problem. But rather than get into that
discussion. The solution has been since about RH 4.2 to right click and
chose save as. (I do it by such a habit I didn't even notice I still
was.)

Yes, I know that. But you could click on an RPM in Mdk 9.0, and it just downloaded. In
9.1 this is no longer possible, is this a bug ? Or was it done intentional.

Re: [expert] Problems with MNF
More information. I made the system a client on my local net to experiment and it seems that eth0 comes up just fine if I specify it as a static IP. Unfortunately my ISP will not give me a static IP without chargeing more than I will ever be willing to spend. This ISP is a royal pain in the 6 but I'm stuck with them due to the demographics of this area and financial limitations. Another discovery is that it does not seem to detect eth1 at all. It's true that I don't have it plugged in to the network switch but shouldn't it at least pick up a new device? I've been checking the output of dmseg and /var/log/messages but I don't see any hint of eth1. It is a Netgear which I heard is problematic when used in tandem with an Athlon but this box is a K6-III. I had theorized that this would make a difference. Jim C.

[expert] mdkkdm/kdm login
!, I'm running into a problem with the logging in via GUI with a fresh install of Mandrake 9.1+updates. Both mdkkdm and kdebase-kdm produce the same results. If I login via the GUI, the system only opens an xterm (I'm assuming this is failsafe mode). From there, I can do 'startkde' and KDE starts. If I use 'autologin', KDE starts properly. If I do 'startx' at the console, with any user, KDE starts properly. Any hints? -- Live fast, die young, You're sucking up my bandwidth. J.P.

Did you take the time to properly configure it during the installation? As to your keyboard, is it a USB keyboard, and have you set the USB system to detect it at boot in /etc/sysconfig/usb?

If someone wants to try it for himself, here is the url : http://www.s.netic.de/gfiala/ Hope somebody has an idea SteffenIn file included from /usr/include/linux/videodev.h:14, from kvdr.h:38, from ckvdrcfg.cpp:27: /usr/include/linux/videodev2.h:432: syntax error before `;' token /usr/include/linux/videodev2.h:500: 'v4l2_std_id' is used as a type, but is not defined as a type. /usr/include/linux/videodev2.h:518: syntax error before `;' token /usr/include/linux/videodev2.h:555: syntax error before `;' token In file included from ckvdrcfg.cpp:27: kvdr.h:147: two or more data types in declaration of `ovlClipRects' In file included from ckvdrcfg.cpp:28: kvdr.xpm:118: warning: deprecated conversion from string constant to `char*' kvdr.xpm:118: warning: deprecated conversion from string constant to `char*' kvdr.xpm:118: warning: deprecated conversion from string constant to `char*' kvdr.xpm:118: warning: deprecated conversion from string constant to `char*' kvdr.xpm:118: warning: deprecated conversion from string constant to `char*' kvdr.xpm:118: warning: deprecated conversion from string constant to `char*' kvdr.xpm:118: warning: deprecated conversion from string constant to `char*' kvdr.xpm:118: warning: deprecated conversion from string constant to `char*' kvdr.xpm:118: warning: deprecated conversion from string constant to `char*' kvdr.xpm:118: warning: deprecated conversion from string constant to `char*' kvdr.xpm:118: warning: deprecated conversion from string constant to `char*' kvdr.xpm:118: warning: deprecated conversion from string constant to `char*' kvdr.xpm:118: warning: deprecated conversion from string constant to `char*' kvdr.xpm:118: warning: deprecated conversion from string constant to `char*' kvdr.xpm:118: warning: deprecated conversion from string constant to `char*' kvdr.xpm:118: warning: deprecated conversion from string constant to `char*' kvdr.xpm:118: warning: deprecated conversion from string constant to `char*' kvdr.xpm:118: warning: deprecated conversion from string constant to `char*' kvdr.xpm:118: warning: deprecated conversion from string constant to `char*' kvdr.xpm:118: warning: deprecated conversion from string constant to `char*' kvdr.xpm:118: warning: deprecated conversion from string constant to `char*' kvdr.xpm:118: warning: deprecated conversion from string constant to `char*' kvdr.xpm:118: warning: deprecated conversion from string constant to `char*' kvdr.xpm:118: warning: deprecated conversion from string constant to `char*' kvdr.xpm:118: warning: deprecated conversion from string constant to `char*' kvdr.xpm:118: warning: deprecated conversion from string constant to `char*' kvdr.xpm:118: warning: deprecated conversion from string constant to `char*' kvdr.xpm:118: warning: deprecated conversion from string constant to `char*' kvdr.xpm:118: warning: deprecated conversion from string constant to `char*' kvdr.xpm:118: warning: deprecated conversion from string constant to `char*' kvdr.xpm:118: warning: deprecated conversion from string constant to `char*' kvdr.xpm:118: warning: deprecated conversion from string constant to `char*' kvdr.xpm:118: warning: deprecated conversion from string constant to `char*' kvdr.xpm:118: warning: deprecated conversion from string constant to `char*' kvdr.xpm:118: warning: deprecated conversion from string constant to `char*' kvdr.xpm:118: warning: deprecated conversion from string constant to `char*' kvdr.xpm:118: warning: deprecated conversion from string constant to `char*' kvdr.xpm:118: warning: deprecated conversion from string constant to `char*' kvdr.xpm:118: warning: deprecated conversion from string constant to `char*' kvdr.xpm:118: warning: deprecated conversion from string constant to `char*' kvdr.xpm:118: warning: deprecated conversion from string constant to `char*' kvdr.xpm:118: warning: deprecated conversion from string constant to `char*' kvdr.xpm:118: warning: deprecated conversion from string constant to `char*' kvdr.xpm:118: warning: deprecated conversion from string constant to `char*' kvdr.xpm:118: warning: deprecated conversion from string constant to `char*' kvdr.xpm:118: warning: deprecated conversion from string constant to `char*' kvdr.xpm:118: warning: deprecated conversion from string constant to `char*' kvdr.xpm:118: warning: deprecated conversion from string constant to `char*' kvdr.xpm:118: warning: deprecated conversion from string constant to `char*' kvdr.xpm:118: warning: deprecated conversion from string constant to `char*' kvdr.xpm:118: warning: deprecated conversion from string constant to `char*' kvdr.xpm:118: warning: deprecat

You can define which track will be the next/previous which action the play button should take and which the return button. Whats currently missing for full support of this is the definition of number buttons ( a still picture in the beginning and you can press 1 for the first track, 2 for the next and so on) . Further with some self written scripts it can be possible to master some video-cd-slide-show cd's (slideshow with a standalone-dvd player on tv). Another good burn app as I heard is arson (too an kde app) Steffen (its not that I want to missionate people to use k3b, nut i like the app ;) Want to buy your Pack or Services from MandrakeSoft?

Two possibilities: 1) you are using gnome as primary windowmanager (I have seen that it can make problems) 2) you have not configured the right driver inside k3b. The value "auto" makes sometimes problems on some system. generic-mmc should be safe for nearly all drives. k3b 0.9 as far as I have seen uses now too more the newer cdrecord tools.

It doesn't give the choice of burning to mp3 format? Anne BTW - could you please clear your reply-to field for the list? It causes replies to go to you instead of to the list.

Hi, I have a laptop 1,7ghz Celeron and 256mb ram. I also have desktop 2.2 Athlon-Xp and 512mb ram. Now I primary use this laptop for everything, and time to time little extra power wouldn't hurt :) And I was wondering could I make simple two machine cluster with my laptop and workstation? And if I could would I benefit that for example picutere editing or making binaries? And if both answers are yes, how would be a simpliest way to do that?

I've managed to get it installed and updated but when ever I try to boot I get an error as if the ethernet card did not exist: "Link not found. Check cable?" The cable is good.

Any box I can reach via ssh I can mount my home on that box to the box I'm on. Since it runs over ssh it's a secure tunnel and if I setup key login to the boxes It can be as automatic as I need it to be. One advantage I've found over NFS is that if a connection gets broken it doesn't freeze the box and it is easier to kill the mount.
