Yeap. I needed to compile the nvidia drivers too. I just typed: > urpmi kernel-source-2.4.22-21 This, is the latest. You probably will need "kernel-source-2.4.22-10". - Oscar.

[expert] PPTP does not assign ip address, and only supports 40-bits encryption.
Hi. I installed Poptop (using mandrake rpm's for ppp, poptop and kernel with all necessary patches), and it is "working". However: 1. The server doesn't want to assign automatically ip addresses to the clients (from the range specified as "remoteip 192.168.10.2-20"). Instead, I have to set manually an ip address for each user in the chap-secrets file :( :( 2. If I disable 40-bits encryption (leaving enabled only 128-bits) in the server, the client complains saying the server doesn't support the encryption protocol. The client is a win2k. Any ideas? By the way, I don't know why the kernel hasn't been patched using the latest ppp_mppe.o patches :(, it still uses the old mppe.o module :( Saludos :-) - Oscar Retana.

Re: [expert] Where can I get mandrake precompiled kernels .config files?
Hi. Thank you Robert for your answer. I need to apply a patch to the kernel. I don't want to use my own configuration. Instead, I want to use the mandrake kernel configuraion (as it is shipped in the CDs), apply the patch, and compile it. Of course, I want to use this configuration with the mandrake kernel it self, and not with other kernel sources. I did as I said, compiled and installed the kernel, but got some problems with scsi drivers (totally not related to the patch, with is about mppe). So, I thought the problem was the patch I applied. But then, and tried to compile it without a single modification from my part, and the compilation failed. So, I was not sure if the .config file the kernel-source rpm includes is the oficial configuration mandrake uses, or just something else. Thank you! - Oscar Retana. p.s.: By the way, in trying to do this with kernel-source-2.4.22-21mdk flacycads wrote: On Friday 31 October 2003 12:30 am, Oscar Retana wrote: Hi everybody!

Oscar, If you have a standard MDK install with sources, the kernel .config file is found in /usr/src/linux-. MDK kernels are heavily patched. You can't just take that file, and apply it to other kernels. You would have to decipher the source directory, and find all the patches Mandrake includes in the kernels they issue. But you don't have to do that- you can compile other kernels from source as user in a home directory with Mandrake, using your own config file, and your own patches, if desired. Mandrake includes all the patches in it's source when it releases a new kernel, so it's not really practical to try and copy that. You would have to find all the patch If you wish to experiment with other kernels, just do it in completely separate directories in a created /home/user/kernels/, from raw non-rpm source, where it never interacts with the stock Mandrake installed kernel, and system. That way, you never have to worry about not being able to boot if you mess up. I'm not really clear on what you are asking. Please tell us what your objective is, and people will certainly offer many helpful options, and clarify the process. Robert Crawford Want to buy your Pack or Services from MandrakeSoft?

This command is executed from hp1000fw!!! Maybe it is your problem's reason! If you upload the firmware twice, the printer will act as /dev/null. If you are using hp1000fw, you only need to plug the printer, wait for the firmware upload and print. Try it: Unplug your printer. Wait 3-4 seconds. Then plug in again. Do *not* run any aditional command to upload the firmware. The firmware will be uploaded automatically by hotplug/hp1000fw. I hope this will help you.

[expert] Videoconferencing and OpenMCU
Hi all,
I need to setup a videoconference server, and I would like to use openmcu.
I have downloaded the software from http://www.openh323.org, and I tried to
run it in the server (linux mandrake 8.1)
But when I connect to server using gnomemeeting, in the server I can read
these messages:
=

But I can't see the remote image with gnomemeeting (maybe the server is not
sending video signal?).
When I disconnect, the server shows these messages:
Room room101 is now empty
ROOM HAS BEEN REMOVED (ReadVideo)
Closing connection
When a friend connects to server with Ms Netmeeting the server shows these
messages:
Opening connection

But netmeeting is always waiting for a response, and never starts
videoconferencing. Then, the server shows:

=
While neetmeeting still waits for a response. In my computer, with
gnomemeeting, I still can't see anything!
I can't find anything in google about configuring openmcu under linux and
clients under linux and windows. I really need to setup the videoconference
server as soon as possible.
Anybody can help me? Where can I find the documentation about openmcu?
Thank you!
Best regards!

Yes, maybe you can use swap (I don't know) for tmpfs, but IMHO the best solution is: - Edit your /etc/fstab - Delete the line related to /tmp mountpoint: (In my case: "none /tmp tmpfs defaults 0 0") - Reboot Now tmp files will be stored in your harddisk, not in ram. The limit of the tmp folder will be the limit of your / partition (of course you can mount some other partition in /tmp to get more space;) OTOH, from now you shoud use tmpwatch to clean the /tmp folder (man tmpwatch).

I am running LM 8.2, I have a SB Live. It works ok here with kernel version
2.4.18-6mdk
This is my /etc/modules.conf (related to sblive):
alias char-major-116 snd
alias char-major-14 soundcore
alias snd-card-0 snd-card-emu10k1
alias sound-slot-0 emu10k1
alias sound-service-0-0 snd-mixer-oss
alias sound-service-0-1 snd-seq-oss
alias sound-service-0-3 snd-pcm-oss
alias sound-service-0-8 snd-seq-oss
alias sound-service-0-12 snd-pcm-oss
The services sound and alsa are loaded
("chkconfig --add sound", and "chkconfig --add alsa"
And you need the sfxload program and a SF2 SoundFont file.
I had a problem with sound level, and I had to put aumix -v66 and aumix -L at
the end of /etc/rc.d/rc.local, plus the sfxload command.
Here you are the three last lines of my /etc/rc.d/rc.local file:
/usr/bin/aumix -v66
sfxload /etc/midi/GU11-ROM.SF2
/usr/bin/aumix -L
And if you want to use playmidi, you must add the "-a" modifier:
playmidi -a midifile.mid
Try it. good luck!

[expert] Sony Micro Vault 128 - drakupdate_fsta loooooooop
Hi all, I wrote to the list about sony micro vault 128 usb storage. Now I have it working in my LM 8.2 thanks to Todd with modprobe sd_mod. Now I have tested it in my LM 9.0 computer and I presume that we have a little problem with drakupdate_fsta. I wrote in /etc/modules.conf this line: alias /dev/sda sd_mod This is working ok in LM 8.2. But when I plugged the Sony Micro Vault to the usb port, and when I did "ls /dev/sda" I observed something like this in my /var/log/messages: - Jan 16 00:01:38 localhost kernel: SCSI device sda: 256000 512-byte hdwr sectors (131 MB) Jan 16 00:01:38 localhost kernel: sda: Write Protect is off Jan 16 00:01:38 localhost kernel: /dev/scsi/host1/bus0/target0/lun0: p1 p2 p3 p4 Jan 16 00:01:38 localhost kernel: USB Mass Storage support registered.

My computer was in a loop, and when I ran "top", I discovered a program which was running over an over again eating 50% of cpu time: drakupdate_fsta. How I stoped the loop? I should rename /usr/sbin/drakupdate_fsta to drakupdate_fsta.deactivated. The loop finished inmediatly. And now this is the problem: If I want to use my sony mv128, I can't have a functional drakupdate_fsta. My questions: 1. How can I avoid the loop with drakupdate_fsta when I plug in the sony mv 128? 2. Is drakupdate_fsta a critical component of LM 9.0? Can my computer with LM 9.0 live without it?

Fantastic! Thank you, Todd.
To do it automatically, I have added this to /etc/hotplug/usb.usermap:
sony_microvault 0x0003 0x054c 0x01050x 0x
0x00 0x000x000x000x00
0x00 0x
And I have writed this sony_microvault script in /etc/hotplug/usb/:
--
#! /bin/sh
if [ -t -o ! -x /usr/bin/logger ]; then
mesg () {
echo "$@"
}
else
mesg () {
/usr/bin/logger -t $0 "$@"
}
fi
modprobe sd_mod
mesg sd_mod is here to create /dev/sda :-)

It can be your problem with ftp, and maybe with X. At msec 5 level, you can't connect to your X server. Try with a lower security level, such as 'msec 3' or 'msec 4'. hope this help. saludos, óscar.

Re: [expert] Problem with LM82 and modem
Thanks to all. I have solved the problem. Using minicom, I must write AT and press he key twice to get a OK. I don't know the reason, but I have created a "chatfile" under /etc/ppp/ like this: ABORT 'NO CARRIER' ABORT 'NO DIALTONE' ABORT 'ERROR' ABORT 'NO ANSWER' ABORT 'BUSY' "" "ATZ" OK "ATDTx" CONNEC In the options I have put the line: connect "/usr/sbin/chat -vf /etc/ppp/chatfile" Also, I have changed the speed from 115200 to 57600 and now the modem is working ok. I can't use kppp but I use modemlights_applet to call pppd, and now my friend is enjoying linux + internet. Thanks. óscar.

[expert] Security issue in 8.2 msec?
Hi all,
Maybe it is a security issue, or may be I'm wrong.
I'm running LM 8.2
In msec 3 level ("more secure"), the folder permissions for /home/* is
711, in other words, drxw--x--x
Then, as NOT root, I can do it, for example:
*
[oscar@localhost oscar]$ cd /home
[oscar@localhost home]$ ls
oscar anotheruser
[oscar@localhost home]$ cat anotheruser/.bashrc
# .bashrc
# User specific aliases and functions
# Source global definitions
if [ -f /etc/bashrc ]; then
. /etc/bashrc
fi
*
I think it is not secure, because I can see any file of other users if I
know the name of the file.
Now I'm running in msec 4 level. But I think we can edit
/usr/share/msec/perm.3, put here a more logical permissions, and re-run
'msec 3'
I hope that this information will be useful.
oscar.

The display is very unstable and blinking using XFree 4.2.0 It works ok under XFree 3.3.6 but is very slow in comparison with 4.2.0 (or the 4.1.0 version that come with LM 8.1). Anybody has the same problem? If I can't solve the problem, can I install the XFree version of LM 8.1? Please, Help. Thanks. oscar. -- .-. oo| /`'\ Usuario de Linux Registrado #227443 (\_;/) http://counter.li.org/ Want to buy your Pack or Services from MandrakeSoft? Go to http://www.mandrakestore.com

I have the same problem (but not always), and I don't know how can we
fix it, but you can run 'several times' the hdparam -d1 /dev/yourdisk at
few seconds interval until the dma flag is set correctly (you can watch
F12 console to see it. In my computer, the flag is set after 2-3
attempts.).

Two ways: 1. The GUI way: Go to DrakConf, boot, boot config, config lilo and remove here the entries. 2. The fast way: As root, edit /etc/lilo.conf and remove the old entries. then run lilo.

Maybe you must add some IP's to /etc/hosts.allow, or delete the entry ALL:ALL EXCEPT localhost:DENY in /etc/hosts.deny 3.

Thank you all, But it does not works... (locale: spanish) With original settings I can see the ¤ symbol and I can type it with AltGr+E, but I cannot print it.I have the @euro suffix in /etc/sysconfig/i18n If I change the @euro suffix to .ISO-8859-15, I don't know If I can print the ¤ symbol, because I can't type it! (AltGr+E does not work anymore). So now I'm using the original i18n config file. BTW, I use gnome instead of KDE. Maybe this is the difference.

The command you are looking for is:
rpm -Fvh *.rpm
This is from the man page of rpm:
rpm {-F|--freshen} [install-options] PACKAGE_FILE ...
This will upgrade packages, but only if an earlier version
currently exists. The PACKAGE_FILE may be specified as an
ftp or http URL, in which case the package will be down
loaded before being installed.
but be carefully, because you can have problems with kernel packages.
The kernel packages must be installed with -ivh option (I believe, but I
can't remember exactly now, please correct me if necessary).
If it is correct, you must put your kernel packages in a different
folder to allow a different install command.
Saludos
óscar.

You must specify the "rescue" option to lilo when booting from install CD (after pressing F1) OTOH, and without using the install CD, you can add the fsck command with the -a option to /etc/rc.d/rc.sysinit, before the command that remount the root partition in read-write mode. Then, when the filesystem is repared (let's keep our fingers crossed) you can delete the fsck command from /etc/rc.d/rc.sysinit. Good luck.

What version of LM do you have? try exiting gnome, removing ~/.gnome/session and restart. or if you are more radical (eliminates all config files! Do it *at your own risk*!) you can do: cd ~/ rm -r .gnome* rm -r .galeon rm -r evolution rm -r .nautilus* If the version of mandrake does not work for you, you can use ximian gnome.

Re: [expert] GNOME desktop icons
You can't... For some unknown reason you can't create icons on the desktop using nautilus, and if you use gmc the desktop icons are created with errors. But I have verified that you can copy icons created by kde from the /home/yourself/Desktop... Or you can use floating panels Saludos, óscar.
