Everything I've ever seen always instructed me to copy the kernel image itself to /boot. My method is that I always go with the distro's kernel first when I install a new version or distro, which is usually done with the source and a symlink in /usr/src. Then I add all other kernels in my /home/wrc/ kernel directory, and copy the images to /boot, as I mentioned. As I play with many kernels, for me this is much quicker and safer than having to mess with symlinking everytime. I just leave the original distro kernel & source in /usr/src alone, and always have an out if I mess something up. However, I must say I can't recall the last time I messed up a kernel doing it in /home/ wrc/kernel. Not that I'm any great Linux guru- it's just that this way is very straight-forward and consistent, and virtually foolproof.

I usually make a symlink to the kernel itself within the kernel directory, calling it linux-1 or sometimes, if it is a different distribution, linux-slack, but as a rule stick to numbers. I remember in one of my early kernel build attempts when I first started with linux just over 18 months ago. I named a kernel something like linux-2.2.xx_xx-redhat or some such thing, and produced an error message that I can't recall, but telling me that the name was too long or some such thing. So I kept the symlink simple as possible. I do usually copy the bzImage to /boot along with the System.map. I must have been writing that post while looking through the bottom of a glass. I am also not that au fait with Linux. But enjoy fooling about with kernels, like Ratty said; in the wind in the willows, "there is nothing half so much worth doing as messing about with kernels." Or did he say that in relation to boats? Charlie. -- A steady wind scours the autumn moon >From a stagnant pool, >From the crystal spring every place pure now Just as it is.

The reader was jumpered as the master and the writer was jumpered as the slave. I couldn't boot a CD-ROM, so I altered the positions of both drives on the cable. Put the writer at the end and the reader in the centre of the cable, and jumpered the writer as master and just to fill up the hole and try the reader again, still put the plug in and jumpered it as slave. Surprise, surprise. The reader worked again and the writer booted CD's But when I tried to burn CD's, k3b would not recognise the writer. Saw it only as a reader. Just in case, uninstalled k3b and then reinstalled it, but it still registered 2 readers, no writer. So I took a panel of the box, left the CD drives where they were, but just jumpered the writer as slave again, and the reader as master. Invoked k3b, it now recognised the writer as such and the reader correctly also. The reader still worked and the writer with k3b burned CD's without and trouble. Thought I would pass this on in case it might help anyone that was having trouble with k3b not recognising writers> Charlie. One question, did you change the settings in LILO and reboot after changing the location of the drives on the IDE channel? Larry No I didn't do that Larry. I don't have any reference in /etc/lilo.conf to CD-Roms that I can find, and I run grub on that system. But I did change the entries in /etc/fstab without any joy. There is probably an entry like this: image=/boot/vmlinuz-enterprise label="linux-enterpris" root=/dev/hdb1 initrd=/boot/initrd-enterprise.img append="devfs=mount hdd=ide-scsi hdc=ide-scsi acpi=ht" read-only In the "append= the hdd=ide-scsi and hdc=ide-scsi" indicate these drives are to be setup for scsi emulation. The /etc/fstab entries should look like: none /mnt/cdrom supermount dev=/dev/scd0,fs=udf:iso9660,ro,--,iocharset=iso8859-1 0 0 none /mnt/cdrom2 supermount dev=/dev/scd1,fs=udf:iso9660,ro,--,iocharset=iso8859-1 0 0 (With supermount enabled, different if disabled) I run with supermount enabled without problems.

Re: [expert] PGP signed messages and a plugin?
-BEGIN PGP SIGNED MESSAGE- Hash: SHA1 I found a very simple "fix" and it works very nicely with kmail. Simply install gnupg, libgpgme, and cryptoplug. In kmail, go to the security tab, enable gnupgp, then go to the plugins tab and simply enter the path gpme-openpgp.so (default in mandrake = /usr/lib/cryptplug/gpgme-opengpg.so) and enter a name like "gnupg" or whatever. I don't know if it is necessary for this method to work but it is for other means of using the pgp plugins, but you can/should also change your ~/.gnupg/conf file to ~/.gnupg/gpg.conf. Hit apply after doing the above in kmail and that's it. praedor On Friday 31 October 2003 05:40 pm, Robert Goshko wrote: > Praedor Atrebates wrote: > > I should specify that I have gnupg installed and that is what I use on my > > system, and through kmail.

The only other possibility I can think of is the the version number in 9.1 contrib and 9.2 contrib is the same and it didn't pull the 9.2 version because of this.

Are you using Mandrake 9.2. If so you have to hack the scripts in
IceWMCP. This is because 9.2 has pygtk2 and IceWMCP uses python with
GTK1. Make sure you have the following installed:-
pygtk-0.6.11-4mdk
pygtk2.0-2.0.0-2mdk
pygtk-wrapper-2.0.0-2mdk
the wrapper alows pygtk1 the old pygtk package to live in parallel with
pygtk2.0.
Now add the following at the start of IceWMCP.py
import pygtk
pygtk.require("1.2")
Make sure it comes before any import statements.
This also has to be done for all the executables that IceWMCP calls eg.
iceme, icprefs etc.
I'm just going to wait for the GTK2 port.
Good luck

Apparently, the BIOS people think linux is a virus > :-D All very well but protecting the mbr from within the bios is foolhardy. It makes repair of a damaged system very difficult, if the partition table has to be repaired. It also causes problems with any write to the mbr, ie upgrade of a kernel or loading a win4lin kernel. I got caught once with an old 386, probably one of my first PCs since then its always turned off. Maybe Todd's comment about garbage data is very close to hitting the nail on the head.

The RAID controller that is on your motherboard supports 0,1, and 0+1 RAID levels. However, in order to do any of these, you need two identically sized disk drives connected to the RAID controller. You can NOT do RAID with only a single hard drive. The whole point is to use multiple drives to provide some level of backup, failover modes. You can use your RAID controller as an additional IDE controller for a single hard drive but that is not the same thing as trying to create RAID striping on a single hard drive. In order to install on the RAID controller (using it as a normal IDE controller) using a single hard drive, boot the Mandrake Linux CD as you normally would and hit the function key to bypass the automatic installer. On the command line, you would enter "linux ide=reverse" along with whatever other parameters you need, like noapic, acpi=off, etc. It might look like "linux noapic acpi=off ide=reverse" and boot it up. You should then get into the normal installer and be able to install on your single hard drive. You should insure that you always boot up with ide=reverse no matter what version of the kernel you boot up with. That should work for you, it does for me and I am using a HPT374 RAID controller built onto my SOYO motherboard. I don't think that there is any solution that will allow you to boot from a RAID array using Linux. No matter how you do it, you will need to create a boot image that includes a RAID driver and will have to boot from that which means that the RAID drives are not available until the kernel loads in memory. It must be loaded from somewhere other than the RAID drives by definition. Perhaps a boot floppy, if there is one big enough, or a CD that you create especially for that purpose. You might also be able to do that from a network drive, not sure. -- Bryan Phinney Software Test Engineer Want to buy your Pack or Services from MandrakeSoft? Go to http://www.mandrakestore.com

If you replace the file in /etc/cups/ppd, just restart the CUPS daemon, and it'll get used (actually, I think the daemon might not need to get restarted). *PPD-Adobe: "4.3" *FormatVersion: "4.3" *FileVersion: "1.0" *LanguageVersion: English *LanguageEncoding: ISOLatin1 *PCFileName:"HYLAFAX.PPD" *Manufacturer: "HylaFAX" *Product: "HylaFAX" *cupsFax: True *cupsFilter:"application/vnd.cups-postscript 0 -" *cupsVersion: 1.1 *cupsManualCopies: True *ModelName: "HylaFAX" *ShortNickName: "HylaFAX" *NickName: "HylaFAX" *PSVersion: "(3010.000) 550" *LanguageLevel: "3" *ColorDevice: False *FaxSupport:Base *FileSystem:False *Throughput:"1" *TTRasterizer: Type42 *LandscapeOrientation: Plus90 *VariablePaperSize: False *OpenUI *Resolution/Fax Resolution: PickOne *OrderDependency: 10 AnySetup *Resolution *DefaultResolution: 204x196dpi *Resolution 204x196dpi/204×196 dpi (high resolution): "" *Resolution 204x98dpi/204×98 dpi (low resolution): "" *CloseUI: *Resolution *OpenUI *PageSize/Media Size: PickOne *OrderDependency: 0 AnySetup *PageSize *DefaultPageSize: A4 *PageSize A4/A4: "<>setpagedevice" *PageSize Letter/US Letter: "<>setpagedevice" *PageSize Legal/US Legal: "<>setpagedevice" *CloseUI: *PageSize *DefaultPageRegion: A4 *PageRegion A4/A4: "<>setpagedevice" *PageRegion Letter/US Letter: "<>setpagedevice" *PageRegion Legal/US Legal: "<>setpagedevice" *DefaultImageableArea: A4 *ImageableArea Letter/US Letter:"18 36 594 756" *ImageableArea Legal/US Legal: "18 36 594 972" *ImageableArea A4/A4: "18 36 577 806" *DefaultPaperDimension: A4 *PaperDimension A4: "595 842" *PaperDimension Letter: "612 792" *PaperDimension Legal: "612 1008" *OpenUI *Dial/Dial Method: PickOne *OrderDependency: 30 AnySetup *Dial *DefaultDial: JobName *Dial JobName/Job Name: "" *Dial Manually/Manually:"" *Dial Option/Option (obsolete): "" *CloseUI: *Dial *DefaultFont: Courier *Font AvantGarde-Book: Standard "(001.006S)" Standard ROM *Font AvantGarde-BookOblique: Standard "(001.006S)" Standard ROM *Font AvantGarde-Demi: Standard "(001.007S)" Standard ROM *Font AvantGarde-DemiOblique: Standard "(001.007S)" Standard ROM *Font Bookman-Demi: Standard "(001.004S)" Standard ROM *Font Bookman-DemiItalic: Standard "(001.004S)" Standard ROM *Font Bookman-Light: Standard "(001.004S)" Standard ROM *Font Bookman-LightItalic: Standard "(001.004S)" Standard ROM *Font Courier: Standard "(002.004S)" Standard ROM *Font Courier-Bold: Standard "(002.004S)" Standard ROM *Font Courier-BoldOblique: Standard "(002.004S)" Standard ROM *Font Courier-Oblique: Standard "(002.004S)" Standard ROM *Font Helvetica: Standard "(001.006S)" Standard ROM *Font Helvetica-Bold: Standard "(001.007S)" Standard ROM *Font Helvetica-BoldOblique: Standard "(001.007S)" Standard ROM *Font Helvetica-Narrow: Standard "(001.006S)" Standard ROM *Font Helvetica-Narrow-Bold: Standard "(001.007S)" Standard ROM *Font Helvetica-Narrow-BoldOblique: Standard "(001.007S)" Standard ROM *Font Helvetica-Narrow-Oblique: Standard "(001.006S)" Standard ROM *Font Helvetica-Oblique: Standard "(001.006S)" Standard ROM *Font NewCenturySchlbk-Bold: Standard "(001.009S)" Standard ROM *Font NewCenturySchlbk-BoldItalic: Standard "(001.007S)" Standard ROM *Font NewCenturySchlbk-Italic: Standard "(001.006S)" Standard ROM *Font NewCenturySchlbk-Roman: Standard "(001.007S)" Standard ROM *Font Palatino-Bold: Standard "(001.005S)" Standard ROM *Font Palatino-BoldItalic: Standard "(001.005S)" Standard ROM *Font Palatino-Italic: Standard "(001.005S)" Standard ROM *Font Palatino-Roman: Standard "(001.005S)" Standard ROM *Font Symbol: Speci
[expert] sylpheed & spamassassin
How do I make sylpheed and spamassassin play nicely together? I have the plugin (as well as the gui for the plugin), and spamd is running. Unfortunately there seems to be a missing component - or I haven't done something - because the filtering hasn't kicked in yet. How does it actually work? (The docs I found on the web all pertained to hitching spamassassin to a server. Perhaps the twiki could use a page on sylpheed/spamassassin?)

[expert] lm_sensors
Ok, so I installed the rpm, and lo and behold, my mobo is finally supported. Running sensors-detect, I was able to find several items of use, and I added them to modules.conf, as I was told by the script. I have loaded: w83781d eeprom i2c-proc i2c-dev i2c-philips-par parport i2c-elv i2c-algo-bit i2c-nforce2 i2c-core And now I am running sensors at the command prompt: # sensors eeprom-i2c-0-50 Adapter: SMBus nForce2 adapter at 5000 Algorithm: Non-I2C SMBus adapter eeprom-i2c-0-51 Adapter: SMBus nForce2 adapter at 5000 Algorithm: Non-I2C SMBus adapter as99127f-i2c-1-2d Adapter: SMBus nForce2 adapter at 5500 Algorithm: Non-I2C SMBus adapter VCore 1: +1.64 V (min = +1.47 V, max = +1.61 V) ALARM VCore 2: +1.66 V (min = +1.47 V, max = +1.61 V) +3.3V: +3.32 V (min = +3.13 V, max = +3.45 V) +5V: +4.99 V (min = +4.72 V, max = +5.24 V) +12V: +11.86 V (min = +10.79 V, max = +13.19 V) -12V: -12.40 V (min = -0.00 V, max = -0.00 V) -5V: -4.70 V (min = -0.00 V, max = -0.00 V) fan1: 14361 RPM (min = 3000 RPM, div = 2) fan2: 3139 RPM (min = 3000 RPM, div = 2) ALARM fan3: 5192 RPM (min = 3000 RPM, div = 2) temp1: +33°C (limit = +60°C) temp2: +35.4°C (limit = +120°C, hysteresis = +100°C) temp3:+255.4°C (limit = +120°C, hysteresis = +100°C) vid: +1.550 V alarms: beep_enable: Sound alarm enabled Now, what do I know about this system?

Take a look at the readme in /usr/share/doc/spamassassin-2.55/ about half way down, look at the sa-learn options. I had a junk directory that I had been using filters to send spam into, using filters in sylpheed. I used the sa-learn --spam on this folder. I rerun that same command via cron every night, and anything missed gets manually moved to my /junk directory. I then did the sa-learn --nonspam options on the folders where I have friends, business notices, mailing lists, etc. I get about 50-75 spams per day, and spamassassin gets all but 2 or 3. I am going to subscribe to the free mail-abuse.org service mentioned in the readme.

It can use less than 512, but if it needs more than 512, then it has to do it in stages. This is exactly the way that lilo does it (and probably grub too) and DOS as well.

[expert] 2.4.22-23mdkcustom and strange ext3
-BEGIN PGP SIGNED MESSAGE- Hash: SHA1 Hallo, I've found a strange habit on the ext3-module in 2.4.22-23mdkcustom: When booting only my /-partition is mounted as ext3, the other partitions are mounted as ext2 with the following message: mounted /dev/hda5 on /mnt/linux as ext2 for linux22 Also in /etc/mtab they are shown as ext2. In the fstab they are listed as ext3. But the strangest is: after a umount /mt/linux2 mount /mnt/linux2 they are mounted as ext3 (seen in mtab). I believe it's something with the module-loads on startup, but why the /-partition is mounted correctly?
