Re: [expert] Shutdown/reboot for users
Maybe i am a lot confuse, or my bad english lost me in your request, but try with Ctrl+Alt+F1 or F2 or F3 to start a pure text shell session, login as root and execute the drakconf utility, maybe you can find something usefull inside (i understand you can not even see your kde desktop), probably the problem begun when you shutdown your PC and your box is not an ATX Case or motherboard, i did face this problem a time ago with mdk 9.1 but i fix this with the operation i told you above. Pale, good luck and may the force be with you.

[expert] advice please postfix ect.
Hi I have a mjor problem with e-mail here, and its nothing to do with Mandrake9.1. Since my ISP has really got into bed with microyuk, their POP3 server can take anything up to 10 mins to authenticate the password. so Evolution keeps asking for the password, and gets it knickers in a right twist as I check for new mail every 10 mins.it always recovers in the end :) So what I'm trying to do is bypass my ISP on incoming mail. I do have a dynamic address as I'm on cable here. About 10% of my mail is sent to [EMAIL PROTECTED] which is then redirected to my ISP and I POP it from their site, that e-mail address also get spammed badly by porn sites at times. I use the mail filters to catch most of it, but some still gets thru. So wht Ive done so far:- Installed postfix, set up an account on dyndns pointing to this machine What I want to do is divert the subscribe list mail , which is about 98% of incoming via the dyndns alias to port25 ,so postfix accepts it. As the smtp server on my ISP seems to behave I can deliver outgoing mail to that. The incoming mail is the bit I'm stuck on. Getting mail that postfix has acceptted delivered to my mail client "Evolution". Do I need to install a pop server to interface between postfix and evolution ? I know this is a bit of a daft question to some, but with most things linux the first time trying to get something to work without help is an uphill struggle.

Re: [expert] KDE K3b cdrw

I did uncheck I tried the same thing. Well I got error messages from k3b in that it couldn't decode the uudio. So I reverted to a 'mpg123' for decoding and sox to turn it into a wav -- procedure. I dragged and dropped the wav's to k3b and it bombed in the middle of burning the CD. And I couldn't get the CD to stop. I had a bunch of twilight zone audio mp3s to rip and so I went back to using cdrecord with a number of wav files method. I got it done - five cd's worth, and one or maybe two coasters. I'd probably expect less from k3b due to the fact that this is a fairly hodgepodge 9.0 piecemeal upgrade cooker. If or when I get to doing a reinstall with cooker/9.2 maybe it will work better. But not finding the mp3 converter has me puzzled. I have mpg123, lame, xine (mostly) and mencoder/mplayer installed. k3b setup only finds a few missing things, like emovix and normalize.

Re: [expert] followup to boot failure message
> It sounds like you installed the kernel rpm in rescue mode. When you do > that, it grabs the current kernel commandline and attempts to keep all That may explain what happened. You might know that originally I managed to hose (or I think I did) my /dev/hdb7 install which was cooker, when installing a new DVD/CDRW combo drive last weekend. I rebooted the system (which had been rebooted before, successfully) and the system hung completely at "finding module dependencies" (I think). I couldn't boot /dev/hdb7 so I installed mandrake 9.0 on /dev/hdb6. Then I had to install all the missing things (only had one CD of that) just to get to the point where I could burn CDs. I managed to download all three 9.1 ISOs and burn them. I started to reinstall 9.1, and the box locked up solidly just before the "exit install" step. So, back to square 1. I tried other things too, and that's maybe when I screwed up. ATM, /dev/hdb6 has a 9.0 that's been partially upgraded to cooker. /dev/hdb7 still exists, I just can't boot it, but it'll probably not work since /var has been rebuilt since then (/dev/hda1) so /var/lib/rpm and so forth are way out of sync with respect to what's on /dev/hdb7. So I might as well stick it out with what I have, at least until I have a stable enough cooker from which to burn from. (I mirror usually 2x a day with wget from ftp.sunet.se.) And everything else, I get via urpmi. (James has been helpful I'll admit -- thanks James)... Now ATM I have a working setup - the CD issue seems to have fixed itself, dunno why. But I can only boot in failsafe mode. Otherwise, I get either 1) same issue with respect to the hang at module dependencies or 2) can't find the root filesystem. Once failsafe boots, telinit 3 can bring up the rest of the system, and then I can startx. So - moral - don't reboot :). > Blue skies...

When you do that, it grabs the current kernel commandline and attempts to keep all the stuff it thinks it needs to. It seems that it grabbed the components used to boot into rescue mode instead of figuring out which settings it needs from the lilo.conf file.

So now I'm burning yet another CD. k3b managed to choke and burn and that was the start of the trouble.

I salvaged my downloads, except for the 330M that died, by stopping one of the remaining downloads and resuming it with ftp's reget. When the download manager opens, no matter what you tell it, it still insists on using /tmp for the download, and IF that completes, it's moved to the specified location -- *that* is the STOOPID problem; not to mention that it totally misses the fact that *it* is doing multiple downloads and fails to realize that 1G+ just won't fit into 900M even if each d/l would on its own... The only reason I'm using moz is that galeon totally lost my respect when its config was moved out of the app into gnome IIRC.

[expert] followup to boot failure message
I think I found a problem in /etc/lilo.conf Originally I had /dev/ram3 in the 2.4.19-35 image, and that didn't work. Also I noticed boot= set to /dev/hda, which is /var, and my boot is on /dev/hdb. However, I have a boot.0300 file. I'm going to switch it back to /dev/hda for now. I think my lilo is stored in /dev/hda for some reason, and I don't want to fiddle. The only thing I can think of to explain the 'finding module dependencies' issue is the presence of 'append devfs=nomount' vs 'yes' in the appended lilo.conf. One stanza says yes (mount), the other says no. But does that explain not being able to use the cdrecorder? And I was incorrect on the kernel issue. Apparently both are using linux 2.4.19-35mdk, since vmlinuz points there. I've set it up so that one will boot 2.4.19-16, the other 2.4.19-35. But I don't think that will make much difference.

[expert] boot failure
I did it again.. had to reboot. Mixed 9.0 cooker hodgepodge after 1 week of installing stuff and having to rebuild this box. 1) first thing - k3b 0.9 crashed in the midst of burning a CD, coastered, naturally - but the cdrw light was still on. I couldn't eject, cdrecord said there was a long write in progress, I waited for a long time, and still couldn't manage to get the CDR out of the drive. So I rebooted. 2) Upon reboot, similar issue to what I experienced last week - the system hung in the middle of "updating module dependencies" step. My other boot selection (linux-2.4.19-35) is stuck trying to boot from my swap partition (01:03)... which is not going to be of use. 3) Failsafe worked, got me into telinit 1. I just tried telinit 3 and got into the box that way, but that doesn't seem to be the best way to do things. Want to buy your Pack or Services from MandrakeSoft? Go to http://www.mandrakestore.com

Re: [expert] STOOOOPIDITY...
-BEGIN PGP SIGNED MESSAGE- Hash: SHA1 I believe the problem is that until the download is complete, Mozilla stores the partially downloaded file in /tmp THEN transfers the finished download to the selected location. If you have a large '/' directory and/or have setup /tmp on its own partition that is large enough, this isn't a problem but for me and many others we break our system down into more partitions than the default setup (good idea in general) and either don't make '/' unreasonably large, or more ridiculous, give /tmp its own partition that is larger than it should need to be. I have my system broken down into the following partitions: /boot / /var /tmp /usr /usr/local /home My /tmp is not monstrously huge, nor is my / or /var. They are reasonably sized to cover virtually all contingencies except for the case with /tmp (apparently) with regard to ONE situation: stupid apps that temporarily store partial/in process downloads in /tmp which is then transfered to a proper location AFTER download is complete. My /tmp is 800 MB. This should be more than large enough but given the aforementioned behavior, it can easily become too small by a gig or more (ridiculous!). This problem comes up with winex (and wine?) too. When you do a game install, wine loads the partial/in process install in /tmp and then transfers it to your selected final destination. I would keep getting stymied by error messages popping up when I was trying to install certain (large) games telling me there wasn't enough disk space - but I have an 80 gig hdd and have LOTS of space available in the directory areas where I am wanting to install the game. The problem turned out to be /tmp. Of course, if you simply have a '/' instead of breaking /tmp out on its own AND your '/' is huge, then no problem. Thing is, if I select a download/install location, regardless of app, I want the download/install location to be the end-all be-all. If the download is in process or terminated before completing, I want the partial download to reside in the selected download location. If I am installing a game/app via wine, I want the [EMAIL PROTECTED] game/app to go entirely to the install location during the installation process and when it is complete. It is ridiculous that one should have to have gigs of space just for /tmp to get past those FEW occassions when you are downloading a huge file (iso images, for instance) or installing a large game/app. This isn't daily activity and having to set aside hdd space just to cover such contingencies is crazy and wasteful. praedor On Friday 25 July 2003 07:17 pm, charlie wrote: > On Sat, 26 Jul 2003 03:01 am, Pierre Fortin wholly or partly mentioned :- > > > If there's a way to override this behaviour, it's not obvious and/or I'm > > too pissed to find it... > > I am uncertain if I understand your problem Pierre but I am using > Mozilla-1.3-1mdk and have done in :- Edit/Preferences/Downloads enabled > Open download manager.

Give the file or image it any name that you choose with or without the file extension, thus allowing you to better find it if you really do forget where you placed it.
