[expert] grub-install won't
For reasons I won't get into, I had to reinstall 9.1 today. Ever since I first discovered it more than two years ago, I've used grub exclusively as my boot loader. During this install, as on the same machine about three months ago, I specified grub during installation. During late installation, the configuration step, I noticed that the boot loader had been changed back to lilo after having specified grub earlier, and changed it again to grub. On first boot, I was shocked to discover a graphical boot menu that looked unlike anything I'd ever seen before on Mandrake. Eventually I learned this was the graphical lilo, since on my /boot partition I simply copied back my old menu.lst over the stupid one the installer applies, and found on next boot no change. So, I tried to run 'grub-install /dev/hda5'. To that I am greeted by the following message: sed: -e expression #1, char 12: Invalid reference \1 on 's' command's RHS sed: -e expression #1, char 12: Invalid reference \1 on 's' command's RHS Unrecognized ls output: Not found or not a block device. So, I tried the long-winded version: grub-install /dev/ide/host0/bus0/target0/lun0/part5 only to be greeted by /dev/ide/host0/bus0/target0/lun0/part5 does not have any corresponding BIOS drive. So, I tried the grub syntax: grub-install (0,4) but got the following error: -bash: syntax error near unexpected token '0,4' Then: grub-install 0,4 but got only a usage message. Then: grub-install hd0,4 but again got only a usage message. Then: grub-install --recheck /dev/hda5 and again got: Probing devices to guess BIOS drives. This may take a long time. /dev/hda5 does not have any corresponding BIOS drive. Then: grub-install --root-directory=/boot '(hd0)' and again got: sed: -e expression #1, char 12: Invalid reference \1 on 's' command's RHS sed: -e expression #1, char 12: Invalid reference \1 on 's' command's RHS Unrecognized ls output: Not found or not a block device. How do I get grub back? FWIW, /dev/hda has 22 partitions. IIRC, it had 19 when I last installed 9.1 on it. It has 255hd, 63s, cyl, & units = 16065 * 512 on a PIIX4 00:07.1 controller.

[expert] Postfix with SASL
Hi Since three weeks, I tried to get SASL and Postfix working together. Since the last evening it works, but not really how I will. The problem is, that SASL will use the /etc/sasldb to authenticate the users, but I want to use pwcheck. But no of the Howtos I've found on the net has helped me. I've tried it with a smtp.conf file in /var/lib/sasl2, or in /usr/lib/sasl, or in /etc/sasl (in every howto is another path) but no one will work. The smtp.conf file looks like: pwcheck_method:pwcheck but saslauthd / postfix will always use the sasldb.

This one depens on your selected authentication method. Sasl supports plain, login, digest-md5 and cram-md5 (at least). with digest/cram-md5 sasl always uses the sasldb. This is independent of the setting in your smtp.conf file. Only for plain text passwords, sasl is able to use all the alternative pwcheck_methods. > > Can anybody help me?

I bought a book that was basically a print out of Matt Welsh's HOWTO and came with a Slackware disc. I forget the version, but it was kernel 2.0 and I was installing it on a 486/33. Then I realized the catch was the learning curve. It took about three months to give up on that and buy a Red Hat 5.2 box, and I was royally p.o.'ed that their GUI rpm update tool was broken out of the box and their "installation support" didn't include getting X running. -- Jack Coates Monkeynoodle: A Scientific Venture...

[expert] openssh-3.7p1 & Mandy 9.0
Hi ALL, I have a problem with openssh-3.7p1 working on Mandy. It compiles fine, and I perform an install (on /opt/openssh-3.7p1). I can start it fine (link it up to /etc/init.d/..blah blah), so "service ssh restart" starts it OK. Problem is that then no-one can log in. Keeps complaining about bad passwd!! I have openssh-3.6p1 (compiled version) working OK, and I can log in with it, using same password. My problem is that I HAVE to use the latest and greatest out there, and YES, i know Mandrake has released an rpm patch for 3.6p1. But, with our internal scan, anything running a version identified as vulnerable, even if patched, is flagged. So i have always used locally compiled versions of ssh. Anyone else gone past this problem? Longing for a response/idea/suggestion/recommendation only on getting openssh-3.7p1 to work. _Thanks Richard. __ Do you Yahoo!? Yahoo!

Right, but that's only for the page. You can use something like this:
[[VmWare][VMware]] which will link to the page VmWare but will display
VMware to the browser (but will still be clickable).

Then you want 3.7.1p1.
But... and this is just a friendly warning... 3.7.1p1 has been causing a
lot of problems for various people, according to discussion on the
openssh-dev mailing list. You might want to ignore your scanner in this
instance and use the patched packages... it'll be more reliable.

Okay I read an article to say this is gaysh I have to agree. The response was windows has it so should Linux. Okay well for one windows does have it and it works when the network comes up it comes up. In mandrake 9.1 if the network comes up it stays down until a reboot. This is a real Pain I have to admit. Yes you can disable it via drakconnect but only in expert mode not normal mode. I think someone should document this. It was a real pain in finding the answer. I know I love Linux but the documentation really sux. I mean new features get installed from 9.0 to 9.1 and I try and find out where is the documentation for it or what caused it. What I mean by this I had no idea what caused my network to stop working until I asked in here and waited 3 days for a response and some gentleman was nice to answer my question. But if I tried to look on Mandrakes site or the internet for network down nothing came up. James S.

So, since this can do it, what is the problem with grub-install? I have not used grub-install but, from info grub > installing grub > invoking grub-install, I see a possible syntax error. The example given is like grub-install '(hd0)' There is a syntax similar to one you tried in the Linux+Win9x+Grub HOWTO from the Documentation category: # /sbin/grub-install /dev/hda which should install grub to the MBR of the first disk. Maybe your command did install to /dev/hda5, which I frequently do to install multiple OS's but would not touch the MBR, where lilo was. Grub installed to a partition can be loaded with a menu item in the menu for grub installed in the MBR like: title 9.2 rc2 grub root (hd3,11) chainloader +1 and choosing this title from the primary grub menu. I am somewhat more familiar with installing from the grub shell, for which I also defer to info grub but there is a documented procedure, after calling grub as root, that includes something like root (hd0,0) setup (hd0) It is possible, relative to what Mark Weaver wrote, that reinstalling grub rewrote the map and stagex files in such a way that reflected any changes in disk notation that occurred since the first time you installed 9.1 but I couldn't say for sure.

Sorry, you want 3.7.1p2 (released today). They turned pam off by default
and introduced two new vulnerabilities in 3.7.x that weren't in 3.6.x.
How's that for wanting to stick with a patched version?
(And people wanted 3.7 in cooker/updates... tsk tsk tsk)

Yeah, i should have mentioned that. The way we have been heading lately is organizing with automatic TOCs, even on the sub pages. See http://mandrake.vmlinuz.ca/bin/view/Main/MaiL and http://mandrake.vmlinuz.ca/bin/view/Main/MailCollectionAndDelivery as an example. By parenting properly, people can add files all the want, and as long as they are in the "right" place, they'll show up on all the proper TOCs with no effort. But [[wiki page name][display text for link]] will work anytime a link is hard coded from one page to another. (I know you know all this, Vincent, just making sure the rest do.)

Sure, but it's not a good idea. You want to have the wiki word in a page so
it properly links to a parent page.
But you can just do something like open your browser to
http://mandrake.vmlinuz.ca/bin/view/Main/NewPage and it should tell you the
page doesn't exist and ask if you want to create it.

[expert] APM problem
-BEGIN PGP SIGNED MESSAGE- Hash: SHA1 Hi, I've a problem with the APM standby mode on Mandrake 9.1... With the new 2.4.22-9mm-kernel ACPI doesn't work on my machine (HP A872, Via Apollo Pro) so I decided to use APM... So far so good, I compiled new without ACPI but with APM, and APM standby even works. BUT: Only one times, when Linux is started I can send the comp to sleep with "APM - --standby", I even can wake it up again by pressing a key, so everything works fine, but I can't send it again to standby after I had done one times. He tries but wakes up immediately. It doesn't crash my system down, or something bad. But why can I use the standby mode only one times? I believe it's somethings with some services or something with the suspend scripts... It would be very nice, if someone could give me a tip to solve this little problem, thanks to all Friedrich -BEGIN PGP SIGNATURE- Version: GnuPG v1.2.2 (GNU/Linux) iD8DBQE/cIK41WA5NSHvnDARAirOAJ9/d8PtvyNEhkPhBTJ7YJ/Jns2z8QCfYE+M j4ZJfjb5l7i3UYAoopSZYJI= =Q95r -END PGP SIGNATURE- Want to buy your Pack or Services from MandrakeSoft?

Ok. Thanks for the warning, and for telling me how to do it anyway! I have one last question. Is there any way to invoke multiple %TREEVIEW% commands on one page? Maybe it is just a bug, but when i try, only the first one works. What i am thinking is that the very top level of the index page might be better suited for manual organization, but i'd still like to be able to make all the sub levels of the index automatically, under each top level category.

[expert] 9.1 vs 9.2RC2 ???
Hi everyone During a power failure my 9.1 installation got trashed to beyond repairs. Strange because I was using XFS, But power was flickering for some secs before going out, probably messing XFS up. Anyway ... Now I have to reinstall Mandrake again and I am wondering if I should go with 9.1 again or is it worth a try with 9.2RC2 ??? is there any downs with 9.2RC2, big bugs or does it work good enough to replace 9.1 already, also is it possible to update to 9.2 final thru Mandrake update function ?

I'm trying to get my wife off windows. One of the things she says she needs is the ability to watch video previews at netflix.com. I'm using gmplayer to play back the video (video/x-ms-asf) and it works fine. My only complaint is while the clip is downloading I can't use my pc - it locks up. I've also tried mplayer.

Be glad you aren't running RH 7.3 boxes no support at all (too many

src rpm they create at openssh.org and doing rpm --rebuild. Ultimate
cheat. do an ivh on the MDK src rpm. rename the tar.gz file in SOURCES
to 3.7.1 modify the spec file to match... then build the rpm. It will

What does this, and why? this is zeroconf doing this. If you don't want it just remove the tmdns rpm, which is a multicast dns server. Most people don't need it as it only comes into play when a device that's configured to get a dhcp address doesn't have a dhcp server to get it from and it defaults to the zeroconf address and the name resolution is done by all of the multicast dns servers talking to each other. - -- Blue skies...

[expert] No mouse after installing Mandrake 9.1
Hi. No mouse after first-time install of Mandrake 9.1. Mouse works fine during install and test lights correct buttons then. Doesn't work after reboot. Mouse pointer visible but won't move in X. Tried re-install. Still no dice. XFree86 reports, "xf86OpenSerial: cannot open device /dev/psaux No such file or directory. It's right, no device # mknod /dev/psaux c 10 1 Still doesn't work. cat /proc/devices reports '10 misc' cat /proc/interrupts reports usb-ohci on interrupt 12 # rmmod usb-ohci cat /proc/interrupts doesn't list interrupt 12 Still doesn't work. XFree86 reports "no such device" instead of "no such file or directory". Same machine has no problem running SuSE. Ideas?
