Thanks, but I've done all that. If I change the ip of the logging host on the router and make no other modifications it logs properly to the RH box.

[expert] Remote syslog problems with LM81 and Cisco gear
I'm running LM8.1 and trying to set up as remote syslog server for my Cisco. I've read all the doc's and run syslogd in debug mode. The output from debug is: (no workie) Successful select, descriptor count = 1, Activity on: 26 Message from inetd socket: #26, host: 9.139.4.8 INET socket error: 11 = Resource temporarily unavailable.

Re: [expert] Mandrake 7.2 halt when load apm on ThinkPad 600X
Information for Alliance Promotion chipset users Loïc Grenié (<[EMAIL PROTECTED]>), Henrik Harmsen () 6 March 2000 1. Support chipsets The apm driver in the SVGA server is for Alliance Promotion graphics chipsets. The following chipsets are supported: o 6422 Old chipset. The driver is still very unstable, including computer crashes. You would prefer using XFree86 3.3.x for this chipset. o AT24 As found in Diamond Stealth Video 2500. Quite similar to AT3D. o AT25, AT3D AT3D is found in Hercules Stingray 128/3D. Most other Voodoo Rush based cards use the AT25 which is identical except it doesn't have the 3D stuff in it. 2. Acceleration The apm driver uses the XAA (XFree86 Acceleration Architecture) in the SVGA server. It has support for the following acceleration: o Bitblts (rectangle copy operation) o Lines (solid, single pixel) o Filled rectangles o CPU->Screen image transfers. o CPU->Screen colour expansion (text accel). o Screen->Screen colour expansion (cached text accel). o Mono 8x8 pattern fill. Not for 6422. o Colour 8x8 pattern fill (in 8bpp). Not for 6422. o Hardware cursor. o Pixmap caching. All in 8, 16 and 32 bpp modes. In 24bpp mode only Bitblts and Filled rectan- gles is supported. Also VESA DPMS power save mode is fully supported with "standby", "suspend" and "off" modes (set with with the "xset dpms" command). 3. DGA Full DGA 2.0 support with framebuffer access and drawing acceleration. 4. Video A limited hardware support for video decoding on AT24 and AT25/3D. It can display an image in YUV colours inside the desktop. There are some more exotic formats (YUV 4.1.1, YUV 4.0.0, RGB 8,16.32bpp). 5. Shadow framebuffer There is a mode, called shadow framebuffer, where the graphics is only used to display the images. All rendering is done in memory in a so-called shadow framebuffer. This mode is useful if you need lots of reading in the video memory. You will have to put Option "ShadowFB" in your XF86Config file. 6. Configuration First: Please run the xf86config program to create a correct configuration. You can turn off hardware cursor by inserting the following line in the Device section of the XF86Config file: Option "SWcursor" Or turn off hardware acceleration: Option "noaccel" Or turn off MMIO Option "nolinear" Please don't specify the amount of video RAM you have or which chipset you have in the config file, let the driver probe for this. Also please don't put any "clocks" line in the device section since these chips have a fully pro- grammable clock that can take (almost) any modeline you throw at it. It might fail at some specific clock values but you should just try a slightly differ- ent clock and it should work. 7. glide2x There is support for the XF86Rush extension for use with the glide2x library. 8. Questions Any questions regarding this driver should be sent to Loïc Grenié. It should be possible to add support for the 3210 chipset if someone needs it.

Usually Audio cards only have one port for the CD-Rom to plug into. Even with two connections there is no switch to change from drive to drive. If you unconnect one or the other drive from the audio card you will find that either one connected will play. To play the second CDRW, you probably need a second audio card, and speakers. Don

Re: [expert] Fw: hpt366 hinders boot, system crashes or freezes
OKay, What I did was only use the UDMA33 ports for cdrom's and use ide3 port to run Win2k, and Mandrake 7.2. Win2k is the master 20.5 GB and Linux is on the 15.3 GB slave drive. The system boots off of the MBR of the master drive. Now in bios set the boot sequence to (EXT A C) and the next option "Boot Sequence EXT means " is set to ATA/66. send me a note if you need more information.

Re: [expert] Laptop recommendations
I'm using an IBM thinkpad i series 1500 RR2, which means refurbished, but most of the thinkpads do real well with Mandrake Linux. This system is running Win2K and Mandrake 7.2 on a 12 GB harddrive, and have not had any problerms with it.. I am using a pcmcia card that has both the ethernet card connection, and modem (56K) connection on it. I realy use ADSL for connection but used the modem while traveling in Europe. The thinkpads have a track point system for the mouse, and three buttons to allow for three button mouse, or scrolling mouse. Processor is a celeron 466, with 14.3" TFT active matrix screen. These LCD screens won't get much higher resolution than 1024x768.

[expert] Hardware vs System Clock
Still have not resolved why Mandrake 7.2 doesnot correctly pick up the time shown on the hardware clock. When I reboot this dual boot machine into a win2k, the clock is correct, and checking the clock running in bios, also is correct. So when I boor up into Mandrake 7.2, the system had the correct minutes and seconds, but the hours were 10 hours behind. The system is set to Pacific Standard time, and I have to go and change the Hours in KDE clock. anyone have a clue why the system does not get the correct time??

Re: [expert] Clock
No That was not the problem, I just reflash the BIOS to BP6RU125.bin BIOS, and the problem is still here. I think it has something to do with the /etc/rc.d/rc.sysinit fle in Mandrake 7.2, because that is the file that sets the time at boot up.

[expert] Clock
I am trying to figure out why does not Mandrake 7.2, and/or KDE2.0 see the system clock? Whenever I reboot this system the time gets reset to 00:00:00 and starts counting from there. I usually reset the clock in KDE, but must reset the clock each time I reboot. This is a dual boot machine, with Win2k and Mandrake 7.2. Win2k shows the correct time. I have reloaded MDK7.2 SMP on this system 14 times now trying to get things to run stable.

Re: [expert] RPM content list before installing
If you open KDE using startx and then in X-Windows, you can select the RPM file, and a box will open allowing you to view the contents before you install the RPM file. This also allows you to browse the already installed RPM's and uninstall those that you don't want. Only problem is one can break his system uninstalling required files. Of course you need to be logged in as root to install the RPM files, but you can view the contents of the RPM file as a regular user.

Even when mount succeeds, I just get the top directory listing, but trying to cat some files, or open it via kfm times out, takes a lng time, or just leaves me with a blank The reason I'm posting this is: could it be some SW/configuration fault (like some file I canceled by mistake/something which is looped on itself..)?

OK, When the Blue High Point BIOS screen shows, Does your Drive show " Mode 4" ?

Re: [expert] UDMA66 problem
If you are using a Western Digital drive, make sure that the Mode is set to UDMA66. They provide a floppy disk to do that with. If this is not done the drive can behave differently. This system is using two 7200RPM WD drives on the UDMA66 IDE3 port. Don On Thu, 29 Jun 2000, you wrote: > Civileme wrote: > > > 7.0 didn't really support UDMA/66 without a lot of tweaking.

Re: [expert] Mdk7.1 on laptop
My experience with loading Linux on my IBM Thinkpad went ok except for getting the sound card (YamahaOPL3) to work properly. I tries Slackware7, All RedHat versions and Mandrake 6.0, 6.5, and 7.0. None of these worked with my sound card because there was always a conflict and would lock up the computer when some sound events were played. I tried Mandrake 7.1 and found that somehow they have fixed the problem. So that is what I am using now. Mandrake 7.1 looks like a great version of Linux.

have any hard drives on the ide1 ide2 or ide4 ports. My CD-ROMS are on

and am using the original High Point drivers that came on the disk.

Re: [expert] ipmasq problems on Mandrake 7.0
Sometimes the " /etc/resolv.conf" file needs to be edited to include the DNS servers that your ISP gave you. If this is not added you probably won't see any thing from the Internet. Below is an example of my /etc/resolv.conf file: search emad nameserver 207.67.165.4 nameserver 209.203.108.249 nameserver 207.16.23.254 nameserver 192.168.0.246 nameserver 192.168.0.1 List the ones given by your ISP first ttyl, Don On Sun, 11 Jun 2000, you wrote: > > I wrote in to you a couple of weeks ago with a problem using ipchains / > ipmasq on a mandrake 7.0 box.

Re: [expert] URGENT! StartX hangs forever
remove the .Xauthority file from the home directory of the user you are trying to startx into. This will reestablish the KDE desktop and rebuild the .Xauthority file when you use startx again.

Re: [expert] Mandrake (smp) on a dual celeron ABIT BP6 motherboard
During the install from CD-ROM MDK 7.0-2 will aid in building a floppy to install to UDMA66 disks. I have two UDMA66 drives 20.5GB & 15.5GB. The first 2GB of HDE is NT4.0, and the 2nd drive HDF is all MDK 2.2.14-15-smp. Boot up is using Lilo on HDE which defaults to Linux running on HDF1, HDF5, & HDF6. Lilo will also let me boot into NT4.0 for work related stuff. My temperature monitoring program is Health and notifies me of any change in CPU Temperatures and Fan Speeds. The system is using two Celeron 466 CPU's, and ocassionally over clocked to 580MHZ. Great board, and lots of fun to play with. ttyl, Don Vu Nguyen wrote: > > Hi > I got the same problem.

Re: [expert] Re: [newbie] SMP Support
I was very successful in installing Mandrake 7.0.2 on my BP6 on the HDE drive. Booted the CDROM, and followed instructions given for making the boot disk with UDMA66 drivers, and installation went smooth. My system has two drives on IDE3, one 20.5 GB, with NT4.0 and a 15.5 GB with Linux. I boot Linux with Lilo as the default, and sometimes use NT4.0 for work related booting from Lilo.
