Re: [expert] Mandrake Clubs
Brian: Gold and Platinum memberships are targeted at corporate sponsors -- as in folks with big bucks to spend. I don't think that they get any special benefits beyond those of a Silver member. -- cmg No, they have a seprate thing for corprate sponsors. The standard is $2,500. You have to call mandrake to get a quote on Silver or Platinum. http://www.mandrakesoft.com/corporateclub/benefits Corprate club is a completly different animal than the regular club. For those who do not want a corprate-club account, but would like a regular club account, don't get anything special if they get Gold or Platinum. I think this should be changed... And it works like an umbrella membership for all employee systems.

Re: [expert] Java and font problem on ML 9.1
I have this exact problem. And I havn't been able to figure it out. the most annoying part is the newest jbuilder looks like crap now Guilherme Cirne wrote: I sent the message below to the Newbie list but unfortunately nobody could help me. I apologise if anyone is reading it for the second time. Hi all, I have a font problem in java apps running under ML 9.1 which is very hard to explain so I have screenshot showing exactly what I mean. I can send this to anyone who is willing to help. Basically what happens is this. The height of the default java font (Dialog) is not being calculated correctly under ML 9.1. So all components, like buttons, are much higher than they should be. I know that Dialog is just a link which by default points to Lucida Sans and this can be changed in the jre font.properties file. But the strange thing is that if the font of a particular component is set to Lucida Sans directly then the height is calculated correctly and the component looks like it should. So the problem isn't the Lucida Sans font. This can be seen clearly on the screenshot which I made. This only happens on ML 9.1. On 9.0 it works as it should. I have also tried different jre's like Blackdown's 1.4.1 and Sun's 1.4.1 and 1.4.2 beta and they all have this problem. So this is a ML 9.1 specific issue. I have also performed various installations of ML 9.1 on different machines and the results are the same. So if anybody has seen this and can help me I would be very grateful. And don't forget, I can send anyone a screenshot which makes it much clearer to see the problem. TIA, Want to buy your Pack or Services from MandrakeSoft?

[expert] Installing mdk9.0 / drakx kickstart problems
Know what sucks about getting to use some of the latest and greatest? Installing. We just got a Dual Xeon 2.8Ghz w/ 2GB RAM (533Mhz bus) with a mpt scsi/raid card (scsi320). Mandrake has the driver, except in the BOOT kernel for install. Any idea the hell it is to rebuild a stage1 of mandrake with a kernel that has mpt drivers? I do. (Not to mention the hacks one must do on stage2) After finally getting 9.0 installed (5 hours later), I noted that there is much less scsi drivers built for the BOOT kernel then other kernels. Why is this? Can't stage2 just have every kernel module built for completeness? What the hell is the point of including the mpt drivers in all the other kernels except the install kernel? Is there an easier way? (I sure hope I just did it the wrong/hard way) Is this fixed in mdk9.1? -- Bryan Whitehead SysAdmin - JPL - Interferometry Systems and Technology Phone: 818 354 2903 [EMAIL PROTECTED] Want to buy your Pack or Services from MandrakeSoft?

Why is this? Can't stage2 just have every kernel module built for completeness? What the hell is the point of including the mpt drivers in all the other kernels except the install kernel? Space is at a premium. Mandrake already takes a little bit of heat because we require 64 Megs to do an install (can do it in 32, but then it can't inflate the compressed ramdisk image and hence cannot unmount the CD so only CD1 can get installed). Care to up the minimum system requirements to 96 Megs? We rule out nearly everything old in the process, which is one of the things that attracts people to Linux in the first place. Maybe not Mandrake so much, as we tend to be flashier (ie bigger footprint). I understand, but network and scsi drivers should all be included. Maybe improve the hardware detection stuff so you can not worry about much of the hardware setup till install is done? Or maybe force a live install if the memory is too low, only can install the first disk but they can install other software later. Chances are with a machine with only 64MB of ram is just going to be a dumb terminal. It's a quandry. Support the old at the expense of the new? Or support the new and alienate a community of loyalists? I wish there was an easy answer. I think as many drivers as possible should be included. or at least have a way to have every driver available. I can't be spending 5 hours per install cause I have to manually hunt for drivers, and tweak stage1 and stage2 to work. I can understand if you just don't have the driver, but when it's there in the regular kernels, and I can't install the damn machine, what the hell? Scsi drivers and network drivers should always be included. At least you can get the system installed and up for post-config. The way it is now I'm screwed, all new dell's shipping (the 550 series we buy) have the LSI mpt series 320 SCSI cards. (mptbase and mptscsih need to be modprobed). Many there is a simple way to make rebuilding a stage1 disk and update stage2 so it can use any kernel? like mkstage1 --type network --device /dev/fd0 2.4.19-24mdksmp. Another problem was once I got stage1 fixed stage2 wouldn't run the command modprobe mptbase; modprobe mptscsih. So I had to hack that in. Then it didn't notice the scsi device was mptscsih so the mkinitrd was crap once the install was done... I didn't know where to begin to re-hack stage2 to get it working - without breaking a ton of other crap. Is this fixed in mdk9.1? That I do not know authoritatively. I did find this in Mandrake-devel/cooker/i586/Mandrake/mdkinst/lib/modules.description: mptscsihFusion MPT SCSI Host driver so it looks like possibly yes. This was also in mdk9.0, but the driver was missing in stage2. -- Bryan Whitehead SysAdmin - JPL - Interferometry Systems and Technology Phone: 818 354 2903 [EMAIL PROTECTED] Want to buy your Pack or Services from MandrakeSoft?

Todd Actually no, you just need 2 stage2 images. One for s--t machines with no memory and one for people with real hardware. ;) The bigger of the stage2 images can be live-only to save space on disk1.

Re: [expert] drakbackup
[cnip] I will beat on tape for backup. MY tape drive faithfully backed up once a week and I rotated 6 tapes to stay current. (MAC fileserver 80). This is how all tape backup sucks stories start. Then one day I arrived at work to find the fileserver unresponsive. I eventually powered down and found the disk would not boot and enough of it was corrupted to make the rest inaccessible. OK no problem, data is on tapes, let's reload OS--- done reach for tape Oops--tape is unreadable reach for two week old tape--E gee that one is no good either Tapes sent to data recovery service--well whattayaknow They charged quite a bit to give me the bad news that six years of work was lost. Someone didn't verify the backup, same problem can happen with a CD. You must verify the backup was good or the backup could be a waste. The employer was too cheap to give me a separate workstation, so it was my six years of work that was lost. For the same reason, it was risky to try restoring from tape though I had always done one file a month. Anyway, the tapes were stretched and dirty and the drive was unusable. Just like new CD's need to be bought for backups, new tapes must be also. I have been burning CDs since that time, even when the burns were at 1X. Civileme CD's (almost) are worthless for real backups. I backup around 300GB a night in just incrementals. Full backup is well over 3TB. CD's are fine for small data size backups, but that doesn't make tape backups bad. This is done with one tape robot, 2 drives, and amanda (only one drive is used right now because of a limitation in amanda). Once a Raid box died (one of the three power supplies caught on fire and burned up the disks). It happened at 6pm, we had everything back online from tape backup within 8 hours (with a spare Raid box). A total of 1.1TB of data was restored. Try doing that on CD! If each CD was 700MB how many CD's would I swap? well over 100. How long would it take todo a full backup to CD? A fellow Sysadmin backs up 3-5TB in incrementals a day. 8 drives in 2 cabnets with 2 robots. All tape. I know your talking about small backups when your say CD. However, if done properly, tape still wins. Such a small backup size can easily verify each tape for each backup. Before you start beating on tapes, use better procedures for your tape backup system. -- Bryan Whitehead SysAdmin - JPL - Interferometry Systems and Technology Phone: 818 354 2903 [EMAIL PROTECTED] Want to buy your Pack or Services from MandrakeSoft?

I use drivers provided by http://www.mbsi.ca/cnxtlindrv/ . This provides a tar.gz where you just need to install modules by make install. You then run hsfconfig to get the modules compiled on your current kernel. It will then create a devfs config file called /etc/devfs/conf.d/hsf.conf . The script is saying that all worked well : Compilation and installation of HSF modules succeeded. Your HSF modem should now be accessible as /dev/ttySHSF0 Now, the modules are compiled but the device is not.

A non-premptive kernel would not be able to interupt the process while it was in kernel space. The preeptive kernel can. How is interrupting I/O to redraw the desktop a benefit in performacne? The thing is, the IO your interrupting IS the desktop redrawing itself, when a higher priority task needs the CPU, like nfs, apache, or a database, the IO from the desktop can be interupted to handle something else at a higher priority. When any userspace program, wether it's X, xmms, apache, oracle, or anything makes a call to a kernel level routine, the CPU that the routine is running on is tied up till the routine is done. Even if it's just doing nothing - or it's doing something that will take a long time. As the plain vanilla kernel is now, it's only prempting a process when it's running in userspace. So when a process is running in kernel space it has exclusive rights to the entire machine - it cannot be interupted. Even when a high priority task needs todo something. The side effect of course is everything feels smooth and snappy because IO that is 100times slower than RAM and the CPU gets interupted todo something else instead of just waiting for data. So overall the system will be faster for all processes combined. If your desktop apps are running at the same priority as your services (such as apache or nfs) then your desktop apps will be able to intrupt your services more offen than before - as before they'd only be able to interupt in userspace. But if your services have a higher priority than your desktop then you should have better preformance. In perceived performance, yes. In raw I/O? I don't see it. I do trust your opinion though Bryan, I would just like a little clarification. I will go read those URL's. Raw IO does increase. It's just your desktop (actually the schedular) is allowed to interupt more offen. Setting priorities on processes is very important in a preemptive kernel to make sure low priority process don't get to interupt. The schedular will not interupt a process for a lower priority task in kernel, or userspace! (before a premptive kernel - interupting in kernel space was just a dream) The best explination is the links tho... the best being on http://www.tech9.net/rml/linux/ Of couse searching on goolge is good also. ;) Some more stuff to read: http://www.linuxjournal.com/article.php?sid=5833 - kernel locking http://vig.pearsoned.com/samplechapter/0130224960.pdf - Sample chapter on Solaris Kernel internals http://www.tech9.net/rml/linux/ - more links of how linux preemptive kernel works Looks like interesting reading.

Re: [expert] How to export fonts to thin client
you need to set up a font alias. Or import some font aliases from Hummingbird's website. Basically each Xserver needs a font server. Exceed has its own font server - windows. The problem is translating X font names to windows font names. Exceeed has a database that mataches them up... but the databases get outdated everytime X changes a bit (new version of mandrake or solaris...). You could configure your xfs font server to export to your network, and not just on a named pipe, and then configure exceed to get fonts from your linux box. But I think the fonts will look like crap... just like they do in X... ;) M.S. Hughes wrote: I am running MDK 8.2 on a machine with IP address 192.168.0.5.
