[expert] Mandrake 7.0 Install problem
Greetings, I have a question that may have been covered in earlier posts but I could not locate them. I have Mandrake 7.0-2 ISO (I belive). Whenever I attempt to install the OS via the text based or GUI install it seems to hang after I select what kind of install that I wish, such as a Expert, Custom and what not. I did not download the patch for the install that is listed on the mandrake website because it was for pre 7.0-2 ISO's. And I do not have a fast enough connection to download Mandrake 7.1. Any help would be appreciated. Al Smith [EMAIL PROTECTED] Keep in touch with http://mandrakeforum.com: Subscribe the "[EMAIL PROTECTED]" mailing list.

Re: [expert] Network Question:
Well the problem that you are having with the envizex terminal is not surprising. In order to get it to work you need the code for the xterminal either on a floppy disk or loaded on the linux box. Since the Xterminal is an HP and the software is propriatery software (Netstation 9 or 7.1) I doubt you will get it to work. But if you do have the code loaded. How about using TFTP? -Al > Trevor Farrell wrote: > > > Yann Forget wrote: > > > > > Hi, > > > > > > lee binkley a écrit : > > > > > > > > Al Smith wrote: > > > > > > > > > Yes it is possible if you use IP masquarding and such. > > > > > > > > > > -Al > > > > > > > > I will nedd 2 nic . > > > > so in my /etc/rc.d/rc.local > > > > ipchains -P foward DENY > > > > ipchains -A foward -i eth1 -j MASQ > > > > echo 1 >/proc/sys/net/ipv4/ip_foward > > > > > > Yes, but in that order : > > > > > > echo 1 >/proc/sys/net/ipv4/ip_foward > > > ipchains -P foward DENY > > > ipchains -A foward -i eth1 -j MASQ > > > > > > Regards, > > > Yann > > > > > > -- > > > Ionix Services, les services réseaux d'aujourd'hui > > > http://www.ionix-services.com/ > > > Tel 04 76 70 64 24 > > > Fax 04 76 70 64 25 > > > > I only had to type echo 1 >/proc/sys/net/ipv4/ip_foward once from the > > command line - the system saves that instruction into the > > /etc/sysconfig/network file, so you only need the two ipchains > > instruction in /etc/rc.d/rc.local > > I have another question: > > I have an XEnvixzex Xterminal in which my boss wants setup into his > office. > To Monitor 2 servers, using a progeam called gpm 9which is a gui > interface about your system. > > Is there a way to connect this Xterminal to my linux box , without have > to be nfs, the reason I dont want nfs is because out network sometin > hangs. > >

RE: [expert] getting "set prompt=$p$g" functionality in bash
Not really. SET is when you want to set a variable of some sort that isn't seen to the user. Only to the shell. The export command is something that the user will see and the shell will recognize: example: export PS1= >this would set your primary prompt export alias => export that alias. or alias ll='ls -al' alias bob='df' export alias (export's all predefined alias's in .bashrc file) set would be used like this: set env= set shell= and so on...

Re: [expert] 700MB CD-R copying
with that being said and looking at the readme's for the cdrecord program, I don't think you will even be able to use the 80min CD's to their utmost capacity. I would also read the README on the CDRECORD because if you are using a Sony CD-R there are some things that aren't yet supported with that cd. Including but not limited to multi-session creation. On the Sony it isn't supported. -Al > I know I'm using Outlook Express [WIndows] but my HD Hard Drive died and I'm > waiting for my new one to arrive in a couple of days.

I think it's because most CD-R's can't handle the 700MB disks. But it also might be a limitation in cdrecord. -Al > > Has anyone had any experiences with copying the new 80minute/700MB CD-Rs? > I have been trying to copy with no success.

Re: [expert] Why are bugs not fixed ?
I have done my share of assisting people on this list. So don't talk about helping people. Second of all I was insulted, I am returning the insult. And I am doing my part for the mandrake team. As I said I don't report bugs to the bug list because they don't get answered, I go to the creator's and get their assistance. With that being said if you chose to ignore me go ahead but I do not go away silently. And for those that did assist me in any problems that I may of have, I have thanked and helped them in return. So unless you know me or how I respond or act on things, don't comment on me or make accusations. That will be one thing that WILL get you landed in a nice lawsuit.

You sound like one of those guys that loves to stir up shit just for the love of it. I don't hear of "you" doing anything constructive. If you were to do something to help, rather than complain (and by the way, pointing out a bug is not complaining. what you are doing is complaining), you might become a little happier in your life. What you are doing is very negative, and and destructive (I wonder if you're working for MS?). BE CONSTRUCTIVE. On Tue, 14 Sep 1999, you wrote: > >%_See I object to this statement.

[expert] [devel] RPM 3.0.3
This is another example. Cassini was released and it needed RPM 3.0.3 to install it's apps. Guess what folks. IT DIDN"T COME WITH IT -Al I have downloaded a number of the 6.1 RPMs. They appear to require RPM 3.0.3 I cannot however find the source for RPM 3.0.3 anywhere, especially disturbing that the sources aren't on rpm.org. Any pointers as to where the source tar.gz is would be greatly appreciated.

i'm not going to say much about calling names, but i believe that mandrake
has a hired staff... its a buisness. if you dont respond to the people you
provide your service to, then they will quit using your service...
> How often do we get speedy bug fixes from Microsoft??
why do people keep comparing linux to microsoft. i think that is the wrong
attitude to take. the only thing linux and windows have in common is that
they are both /considered/ operating systems by the vast majority of
world. the entire idiology behind linux is different.
we shouldn't base the speed of linux fixes on the speed of ms fixes. if ms
got a faster would the linux community? i doubt it..
i do however see al's point. they should fix what they currently have
befor building on it.
just some thoughts.

See I object to this statement. All they did was re-package the RPM's with the name mandrake. They really didn't do anything except maybe re-write the install, that's it.

Re: [expert] Why are bugs not fixed ?
MS, I think part of the problem here, is about something that I have voiced a long time ago. If this is such a labor of love then the people who gave birth to the product should make it strong, rather then going into another direction in building another project that has the same bugs. -Al

I take it you are sending the display from one machine to another? First thing you have to do is export the display, which it looks like you did. Next is to add the entry to your xhost file. You can do this by using the command: xhost + (which will exporting from any host without any restrictions) or xhost + ip name (which will allow an export only from that particular machine in your list.) if you want to see what is defined to your list: xhost If you want to remove entries use: xhost - (will remove all hosts) xhost - ip name (will remove a specific host) I hope this helps.

That if they take the responsibility to help one person they should help all people not a selected few. That's all. I know I may have originally started this but I am ending it. But I also realized that once I posted my original problem I found a resolve shortly after, but if anyone want's get into a battle of wits with me on this take it to my primary e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED], just so don't further embarrass your self. -Al

Try putting it in your rc.local that's what I did to load my ppa module for my zip drive. Either put it in the end or the beginning of the file. Or if you are really daring write a run level for it and place it in your init.d directory, then find the correct run level that you run in and create a link to it. Such as: cd /etc/rc.d/rc4.d (or whatever your default runlevel is) ln -s ../init.d/scriptname S99scriptname I have written a few run levels if you like I can create one for you it's farely simple. -Al

[expert] Sound under KDE
ok, This seems to be a common problem that no one appears to be getting an answer on. Well I am going to post mine again with a little more detail. I have a AOpen FX-3D sound card in my system. It is properly configured using isapnp the isapnp.conf file is correct the module is loaded and configured but under kde I cannot get sound. I click on the mixer and I get told that I don't the correct permissions and reset them. I did this and the problem still persists. I am using the updated sox driver. /dev/dsp /dev/audio /dev/mixer all exist. Now if I try to unlod the module for my sound card I get told that it is busy and won't allow it. What could be the problem? -Al Smith [EMAIL PROTECTED]

For those who have given me assistance and it has worked I would like to acknowledge and thank you now. These people are: Tom Berger <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> Bernhard Rosenkraenzer <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> Thomas J. Hamman <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> I know I don't say it often please accept my apologies and my thanks... But on another note I still have 2 major issues that I need some assitance with: 1) I am running my linux system with mandrake 6.0 with all the latest patch updates except the recently released 26mdk kernel on a PII 350 w/64mg ram. I due think there is a memory leak in kde or gnome or both. When I try to export agraphically intense display from one server to another the operation dies on the server sending the display with a memory fault. This is odd since I could do this M5.3 and other distro's of linux. Now I have compiled my kernel to get the best optimaztion I can, and I load most thing's as modules so not to take up system memory and the problem still continues. 2) I found an issue with the 2.2.9-27mdk kernel. I installed all the new 2.2.9-27mdk kernel RPM's and recomplied the kernel with the same settings nothing changed. During the boot, it failed to locate my ethernet adaptor and it the system hung on loading the us keytable's and locked the system. Any assitance anyone can offer on these two area's would be greatly appreciated. Al Smith Systems Engineer Thomas Jefferson University Hospital [EMAIL PROTECTED]

[expert] Kernel Issue
Hello folks, Just a heads up, I compile different kernels every or every couple of hours to get complete optimazation of my system. Here are some of the problems that I have come across. 1) When you move a module to the kernel, the module is not removed from the /usr/src/linux/modules, and linuxconf does not release control over modules if they are not being used. 2) The paraport controller for zip drives and such if you add it directly to the kernel you get many error's, some to the point that it doesn't know how to handle the addressing. 3) If you make the kernel too large (just experinced this one for the first time in about 3 years), the system will attempt to load then it will give you an out of memory error then hang. (I use different boot disk's for different boot configuration's) 4) In KDE or GNOME (may not be a xwindows issue once again a memory issue). I connect to a Hewlet Packard Unix System (HP-UX), and export a display of there backup program called OmniBack. Now my load is low like .2% but I have 99% memory utilization on my system (odd you be the judge). The system running it is a Intel Pentium II 350 with 64mg ram. When I export the display I get a memory fault from the server (HP-UX) and it crashes my export. But I can export another display just fine but not of that. I am able to do this with any other Linux Distro. As well as goto a windows machine with a Xterm Client running and lanuch it. With all that being said, there might be a memory leak in the kernel.

Re: [expert] Loading Modules
well on closer look I found that modprobe (when I run it manually to remove or add modules). Doesn't work. Such as to remove the sound module, I did the following modprobe -r sound No error's I assume that it's removed, then I do: modprobe -l|grep sound and it is still loaded. Then I checked the /etc/conf.modules to see what is aliased with it and it is ad1816 Then I do a modprobe -r ad1816 No error's I think all is good. modprobe -l|grep ad1816 still loaded. then I try a rmmod I get an error stating that the device is busy. I am out of ideas with this one. I am currently recompling the kernel and loading my sound card as part of the kernel and not a module. -Al [EMAIL PROTECTED] wrote: > > I tried the modprobe and it hangs.

Re: [expert] Mandrake 6.0 (Al)
Tom, I do not wish to get into an argument about this. But I myself tried using M5.3 with kernel 2.2.9 and received the same problem with Ethernet card and such. The unmounting of the filesystem is a BIG bug and you are correct it is not a 'minor glitch'. But on a side note I am insulted at the response to use redhat 6.0, RedHat in my personal opinon are sell outs nothing more nothing less. I have liked Mandrake so far and do intend to stick with it. But I usually never use a x.0 product due to it is a new product with many bugs. That is why I wanted to switch back down to 5.3. I was unable to do that so I had to blow away my drive and install clean. I did this using 6.0 and everything went ok. But once again as soon as I complied the kernel with the default settings that were listed. NO MODIFICATIONS DONE TO THE KERNEL. Doing: make dep clean modules modules_install bzdisk (I always compile a new kernel to a bootdisk it is a good habit). And once again there was the issue with the network and the inablity to recoginze some external devices. I.E. a zip drive that does have module support installed. Once again I do declare that I think there is a serious bug in 2.2.9 kernel that needs to be addressed. The OS is fine other then that point in my opinion. But once again they are opinion. And if you wish to challange that opinion you can e-mail me directly at: [EMAIL PROTECTED] [EMAIL PROTECTED] [EMAIL PROTECTED] I am AOL at: clayton940 ICQ: 10825601 But do not attempt to flame me or challange me on a public mailing such as this.

[expert] Mandrake 6.0
Well in my personal opinon 6.0 looks good on the outside. But 5.3 is what I think is a more stable release. There are way to many bugs in the 2.2.9 kernel. I am switching down to 5.3 but once the bugs are fixed I will upgrade again to 6.0 (on the grounds that an upgrade from 5.3 to 6 will be a stable upgrade). -Al

[expert] More 6.0 problems
I have some 6.0 problems which I think might be directly related to the 2.2.9 kernel. I had mandrake 5.3 which I upgraded to 6.0. I have gone into the process to modify my Kernel. First make menuconfig doesn't work it hangs after the parssing stage. I need to open a new terminal and kill the process. But make xconfig works just fine. Second, When I try to insmod modules I am getting a number of registry flag error's and such. Third, DHCP doesn't appear to work at all when applied under linuxconf and last but not least, the system cannot umount the / file system. I have to run a fsck upon every boot.

rsh is a remote host command, but to be able to do it on another server, first you need to have a .rhost file for that user on the server allowing the connection. local server=123 user=bob on the remote host you would do this: Log on as that user.. cd or cd ~ vi .rhost 123 bob then :wq! Next you would edit the .profile on the remote server to verify his path to make sure the command is in the correct path. If you can't do that, I would use remsh instead.
