[expert]UT on LM8.1 with No Sound
I tried running my UT without the xserver having the module "glx" enabled. No success getting my sound to work that way, neither. I had to change the graphic renderer to SDLSoftDrv.SDLSoftwareRenderDevice in order for it to work. The other two graphical options complained about not having the "glx" extensions. I still received no sound after switching it from ALAudio.ALAudioSubsystem to the Audio.AudioGenericSubsystem. I created a ~/.openalrc file and put "define native-use-select #f. Still no effect. Anyone know what particular drivers (ie arts, alsa, etc..)? Save me, please. ty in advance. Want to buy your Pack or Services from MandrakeSoft? Go to http://www.mandrakestore.com

Did you upgrade gcc? That is important to have upgraded with your rpm
packager. You might have to recompile your rpm packager to use your
current gcc to get rid of that error. My $.02

An install floppy is good if you know how you want to install stuff (I
know I sound childish but bare with me). There are six different types
on images used to create an install disk. a harddrive image (hd.img), a
cdrom image (cdrom.img), a network image (network.img), there are two
images that I don't know their function but they are there (other.img
and blank.img), and a pcmcia image (pcmcia.img). You can find these
install images on a ftp mandrake image branch site (ie.
ftp://carroll.cac.psu.edu/pub/linux/distributions/mandrake-devel/cooker/images/
or
ftp://carroll.cac.psu.edu/pub/linux/distributions/mandrake/i586/images/)
If you want a LM8beta install go to the development or cooker branches
but if you want a LM7.2 install, go to a regular mandrake/i586 branch of
a close ftp mirror site and type this command in:
(to get the beta image for a beta install from a cdrom)
ftp://carroll.cac.psu.edu/pub/linux/mandrake-devel/i586/images/cdrom.img
(download)
create the install floppy from a *nix with this command;
$ dd if=cdrom.img of=/dev/fd0
If it reports no errors, you are ready to go!

Try also blackbox if you have it installed. If there is nothing wrong in
that area as well, you may have to reinstall kde2.1 onto your system
because something is a muck. I get problems all the time with my

I'm glad that you have written in to tell us about this. I mean on the
fact that I'm not the only one having problems trying to install linux
to that type of system! I am actually trying to install the "beta"
softwares to Compaq's 5000 series, as well (LM8beta1, LM8beta2 is next).
If someone on this list can give you the "magic" to work linux on
release 7.2 then I would love to hear about it myself!

Are you familiar with the "touch" command?
Touch, simply updates the date and time of the files that I "touch". The
command is simply implemented this way:
touch /boot/straps
since you have to change the dates on a "privileged" account, become
"root" and do the following:
su root
touch /etc/crontab
or
su -c "touch /etc/crontab"
I hope that helps.
and on and on.

Blackbox rules! I like how that it can support all the "others" while
being lightweight and functional. Might be an "edge" too light for the
casual MS , KDE, and Gnome users but my cup of tea, nonetheless. I
personally, am confused by the complexity of KDE and Gnome as a whole
but I understand their strong point. I just wish that there was a
"magical" way to make the two "interchangeable" down to the programming
level.

Did you manually recompiled your kernel?
That is did you run make xconfig, make menuconfig, or just plain make

Bill, you have to be physically at that machine AND you have to NOT have
the CMOS activate the password option or the partition must not be
encryted. There is all types of ways to secure your machine. Chances are
better than none that this individual in question has their system set
up as a "default" installation.
Everyone knows that unless you buy something that guarantees security
right out of the box, more than likely you will have to tweak the
settings to get it that way yourself.

Sounds like you had the "stock" LM7.1. What I mean by that is it was in
LM7.1 in the upgrade where gcc merged with egcs into one. LM7.2 should
use the new gcc2.95 or higher (if you upgraded). That is why you are
having your current problems. Your StarOffice 5.2 was statically linked
to the old binaries. You will most likely have to reinstall StarOffice
5.2.

Yes, I had problems using the mandrake source for any 2.4.1 src packages
above 3mdk. I decided to look into the exit status and find where it
chokes. The lm_sensors-2.5.5 is what was my problem. I looked into the
commands and it would say that "bison" (command) was not found. I did a
rpm query for bison and discovered that I didnt' have it, so I
downloaded it and reran the compile. Same place different command. This
time "flex" was not there. Of course, I didn't have that so I downloaded
it and installed it and ran the compile again. Hopefully, it will run
all the way through but I am certain that no matter the dependency, I
will get the Mandrake kernel source to once again compile on my machine.
Same area of the kernel, I find that I also need Yacc. Got it next?...

Yes, I have did and done Cooker source RPMs for kernels for over six
months! I highly recommend trying the new mdk 2.4.1 or 2.4.2 versions.

As far as I know, that port is "filtered". That is it is logged and

I will just have to prove you wrong. Time is too short to waste on
words. You are a results type of guy and results are what you will see.
Besides, if you are so certain that it isn't going to work, why are you
so upset, hostile, and just down right ignorant? And further more, you
can't hold a candle to me little girlie man. You have my ICQ number,
give it a ring and chat with me, one on one. I don't have time to sink
to your "level" as I have a project I need to make reality. I still love
you...
just..
like everyone else.
Also, fat little girlie man, I am 6'1" 189lbs of Marine, also by the way
little girlie man. Grow up and refrain from using expletives as it shows
how intelligent you really are. For an "expert", it is a shame that you
have to SHARE an email account. Oh well...
Tequiro my little girlie man,

Yes, a sound card with dublex will free up resources and processes on
our CPUs. All that is left is to tackle the compression from digital
algorithms to analog algorithms. But that is on the back burner. Why
deal with that solution when you can just plugin to someone else's
hardware that they offer for free? No, compression or CPU overhead to
worry about on any system. The part that infuriates me most about these
M$ only companies is that when you do "glean" insight into how their
program work, you realize , it seems, always that they could have ported
it to work on all systems.

I found it in package:
http://rpmfind.net/linux/RPM/ASP//i386/RPMS.rc1//perl-5.6.0-9.i386.html
http://rpmfind.net/linux/RPM/conectiva//6.0/cd1/conectiva/RPMS//perl-5.6.0-11cl.i386.html
http://rpmfind.net/linux/RPM/PLD//people/baggins/Rescue-CD/RPMS//perl-5.6.0-13.i386.html
It seems to be available on other distributions and distributions for
the i386 architecture only. You can try compiling your perl from source,
I will provide you the link:
http://rpmfind.net/linux/RPM/cooker//cooker/SRPMS//perl-5.600-27mdk.src.html
You don't have to install the compiled libraries to your system but I
,personally, recommend it but, yet, again this is a personal choice. The
reason I say do this is that it will have all the files for perl in
/usr/src/RPM/BUILD directory under perl and you can "locate" the file
there. Thus, symlink and see if that works. I hope this help.
Cheers,

Believe it or not, but you have to install the MySQL-client first before
all other packages. I found that interesting myself.

I personally avoid "forcing my way" on anything. It only leads to
heartache and pain later on. Just remove all the old packages that I had
showed in my prior posting and you can then
rpm -ivh MySQL*.rpm
or how ever you do it. just use "i" now and you should be fine.

Try this command:
locate patchlevel.h file
If the directory isn't the same, make a symlink to the file in that
directory.

Try this method:
rpm -e perl-Mysql-1.22_15-3mdk
rpm -e MySQL-bench-3.23.23-1mdk
rpm -e MySQL-3.23.23-1mdk
rpm -e MySQL-client
Do that in this order and you should be ok.

You mean known to the best of your ability. Never ever say it can't be

and look at where we are now. There are other people but we get the

You are right on all points. And you totally understand the
functionality of the respective VoIP solutions. Now about that last
paragraph about what I'm really trying to do. I gather that Yahoo, more
than likely, has permission to use net2phone's hardware and I'm just
extending the same permission for dialpad. I really want only registered
users to access and use dialpad until they reply back to me to say
otherwise. The silly thing is this. dialpad uses php to serve up their
pages. That means, really one can not use your "phonebook" directory and
just click on a person and dial. You will have to do it all through the
dialpad plugin. The sad thing is... unregistered users can use the
service through this plugin When we succeed I will post my findings to
dialpad, but not before distributing at least the source to the list and
beyond. (Just in case)I'm sending them my finding so that their
"technical" staff can implement it into their php script so that we can
use our phonebook entries from their website. Otherwise..
.. oh well! As long as we can use the service!
Cheers,

That is exactly what I am talking about. That is why I want to emulate
the card at best. Since, I am a great hardware (guru) I should probably
invest in buying the card just so that I can "map" out the hardware
chips and use "scientific" measures to "reconstruct" how the card works
logically.
I don't mind buying the card. It is just as soon as I saw that it was
internal PC and PCI only...
the implications! ...I mean ..the limitations!

I have a theory that I'm going to test but I will need a little help.
Anybody know of a way to "lie" about the type of browser and os in
netscape 4.7x and 6?
Message me privately to avoid any "issues". I'm working on a
cross-platform plugin for dialpad. I will make sure that only registered
users can access the service, of course, but it appears that they have
their "detect" page automatically reject any thing not M$. I want to
appease the *nix, Mac, and Solaris community. It is just not right!

Here I go again. Maybe my question is not getting through (the one
about, "What is this one doing that dialpad and net2phone are doing
differently to achieve the same objective: **Free Phone service through
the internet**")? I hope you know that what ever hardware can do, a
program can be made to "emulate" the same device? Example: winmodems.
Not good enough? winprinters. Need I go on? There may not currently be a
program in Linux but you may never know for sure until you ask.
Besides the creator of gphone created the program out of necessity and a
means to LEARN how to program! Remarkable! Same with the author of Licq
(except he had a comprehensible background in programming since he could
read!LOl). Anybody want to join me in making this a reality? I'm
currently fixing up my server. I am trying to fix a php4 bug at the
current moment, but as soon as I'm up... My backups had gotten destroyed
for my webserver. This wasn't known to me until after I had formatted
and repartitioned my drives. I had attempted to change the file system
to Reiserfs on kernel 2.4.0 without success. If anyone has succeeded
with 2.4.0 or 2.4.1 I would like to compare partitioning schema. I am
rebuilding all my files from scratch. I have five projects that address
the dialpad, vmware, and development period.

I love you, Joseph! That is exactly what I am talking about! My only
major question is this;
What is it that Quicknet PhoneJack driver do that allows it to achieve
the same thing without all the infrastructure? Do you need a dialup
modem? Will distance, inadvertantly effect cost? This is a free service
through Quicknet's PhoneJack hardware?

Yes, that is correct. That is exactly what it does. Now, what is it that
the Quicknet PhoneJack cards do that these services do not do but get
the same job done? Hmmm...
That is why we want to either hack (program) the current java codecs
that dialpad uses or net2phone and make a linux plugin to handle them.
As far as the hardware of Quicknet PhoneJack, I get the impression that
it is nothing more than a specialized sound card. If java is java, then
why did dialpad tell me in writing that they don't have support for it
yet? What type of sense does that make?! Anybody feeling me on this one?
I will post their letter to me to the list.
That is next.

I downloaded the program. Now how do I use it? I tried gphone -r 2074 -l

Re: [expert] net to phone type app
I know of, supposedly, http://www.dialpad.com having a solution. But if
you really want to get it to work. It would be advisable to get kernel
2.2.x, use IPChains, and use a browser like Netscape 4.73-4.75. It will
not work with Netscape 4.76/6, Mozilla .6/.7, and konquerer. You can
probably do with out the IPchains and use iptables which is what I'm
going to try as I have kernel 2.4.1 and full iptables support. I just
have to downgrade my browser as I have Netscape 4.76 and up.

I have the exact same problems with php4 for mysql. I can not get it to
work neither. Like jumping rope, I was trying to find an oppurtunity to
jump in and mention this exact same problem! Everyone is so into the
KDE2.1beta updates and everything that almost anything else has been
ignored. Like I posted help for getting plex86 to work on my dual booted
computer. Not a single reply. I was going to give it one more day before
I went off else where for help. I even registered to plex86's mailing
list! I'm waiting on answer from them as well, but I had posted that
message finally about a few hours ago. I have my fingers crossed.

Or was this made known by the very fact that we are able to access their
development and cooker archives. I'm sure they look over the message
logs in their database and assign key topics for their developers to

Yes, you could use the Mandrake Update for future upgrades but it will be light years before Mandrake catches up with you. LOL. Honestly, I have mentally monitored Mandrake's patterns as far as upgrades go. I noticed that Mandrake reputation isn't just in the ease of use of their distribution, but in the stability and security of their product. That is why you will always see a (RH) rpm way before mandrake releases a (mdk) rpm. But if you watch securityfocus.com, freezer-burn.com, linuxsecurity.com, and many others you will see most of the other distros painting the "box" with postings of exploits, breaches, and vulnerabilities of their respective packages. I personally discovered that it is easier to make a package than it is to debug to work acrosss myriad platforms and software promegations. If Mandrake ever catches up with you (This is not counting the development and cooker branches, mind you!), it is more than ok to download their packages. Cheers, -- Al

You do know how to compile source code, right? That will get past your delimma and install the package in question. Install xfig-3.2.3c-3.src.rpm instead. rpm --rebuild xfig-3.2.3c-3.src.rpm goto where it put your compiled packages ie /usr/src/RPM/RPMS/i586 or /usr/src/RPM/RPMS/[what ever your arch] rpm -ivh xfig-3.2.3c-3.[arch].rpm goto ftp.rpmfine.net/linux/Mandrake-devel/cooker/i586/Mandrake/RPMS/xfig-3.2.3c-3mdk.i586.rpm and try that binary or do what I had explained to you and go to this link and download the source: ftp://linux.inrialpes.fr/linux/Mandrake-devel/cooker/SRPMS/xfig-3.2.3c-3mdk.src.rpm Cheers, -- Al

That particular package would only unpackage with a package manager of rpm 3.0.5 or less. I recommend getting the source for that package and compiling it that way. Cheers, -- Al

Open up XF86Config-4 with your favorite editor and go to the line pointing to your font path. unmark by putting # in front of the FontPath unix/:-1 like this # FontPath"unix/:-1" The cool thing about this hack is that it forces the drakfont (I think that is correct) to point to the new fonts directory (more than likely, it wrote over some application font path conf files). You can reboot and it will still work. After rebooting, you can remove the "#" comment from XF86Config-4. The other way, I haven't tried first but was irrelevant after doing the above option but I got this from a netscape forum. /etc/rc.d/init.d/xfs stop /etc/rc.d/init.d/xfs start This has something to do with the X Font server (xfs) others and myself conjecture. Try this one first before the other one, as I am dying to know if that way really works. But if you look at the methods behind the two... they both target the X Font Server and do a disable-then-enable approach. Possible bug. Cheers, -- Al To manually start and stop your service use these two commands:

Namezero Plus domains now available. > Find out more at: http://www.namezero.com Sounds like something wrote over the MBR. I had this problem when I reinstalled windows on my dual booting machine. And when I did an upgrade from 7.1 to 7.2. I had a boot floppy and it didn't work, also. I did a "quick" install. That is I acted like I was going to install 7.2 instead of upgrade but in actuality, I was getting to the partitioning portion. Saved and moved on to the next menu. When I got to the part about selecting packages, I choose to quit install and exit. I was able to boot into my LM7.2 with no problem. I hope this works for you. Cheers, -- Al

You can get the rpm from one of Mandrake's mirror "Mandrake-devel" sites. That is what I did to get my X4.0.2 dancing with my LM7.2 distro. By the way, Mandrake didn't forget. LM7.2 came out way before X4.0.2. So they couldn't forget what wasn't available. Cheers == Al
