[expert] problems after upgrade mandrake 9.0 to 9.2?

2003-11-06 Thread Vincent Chen
Hi, all

After upgrade to mandrake 9.2,I have several new
problems:

1. Since freeswan 2.x not working in my environment, I
installed mandrake 9.0 in another partition. Can I use
LILO installed in MBR from mandrake 9.2 to boot into
mandrake 9.0? I tried to duplicate 9.2 text segment
and change device,boot to 9.2 is ok but not 9.0. Is
there any working example?

2. I tried to restore a partition image which stored
in encrypted loop device. While running partimage
0.6.2 from mandrake 9.2 contrib pacakge, it complain
about not support encryption. Why it work under
mandrake 9.0?

3. Can I tell mandrake 9.2 which sound driver to use?
It prefer i810_audio but I like nvaudio. Everytime I
change setting in /etc/modules.conf, mandrake 9.2
change it back next reboot.


Thanks and to be continued...

[expert] mandrake 9.2 nVIDIA nforce board problme?

2003-11-04 Thread Vincent Chen
Hi, all

I just upgrade to mandrake 9.2 and got little audio
problem here. I compile and install nforce driver from
nVIDIA and modified /etc/modules.conf. First, I
removed 'snd-slot-0 i810_audio line' which generated
during install and replaced with 'snd-slot-0 nvaudio'.
After reboot, mandrake 9.2 restore sound driver to
i810audio. How can I let mandrake 9.2 use nvaudio as
default audio driver? If I use i810_audio driver, will
I lose any great feature from nforce chipset?

[expert] freeswan 1.9x on mandrake 9.2

2003-11-03 Thread Vincent Chen
Hi, all

I tried to get freeswan work on mandrake 9.2 but not
so lucky so far. I am not familiar with freeswan 2.x
yet, so I tried to install super-freeswan rpm from
9.2's contrib directory. But super-freeswan package
complains about KLIPS version and refused to install.
Rebuild rpm got the same result. Any one know how can
I get freeswan 1.9x with x509 support work under
mandrake 9.2? Is there a working source rpm available?

Thanks,

[expert] mandrake linux wireless problem?

2003-10-26 Thread Vincent Chen
Hi all,

I just installed mandrake 9.2 but a little confused
about wireless setting. My AP activated WEP and my
notebook running windows xp can connect to AP using
WEP key (26 hex 
digit). When I look at the examples in
wireless.opt,they all looks like 13 alphanumeric. Can
I use 26 hex digit as WEP key under linux? My current
key contains non-alphanumeric characters,besides I
believe 26 hex digits is more secure.

BTW: How can I do authenticate for wireless? Do I need
radius server or something else?


Thanks,

[expert] install from hard disk?

2003-10-26 Thread Vincent Chen
Hi, all

It already bothered me for a while since mandrake 9.0
to current 9.2.
Usually I mirror a copy of mandrake linux and install
from that hard disk partition. I works well and really
fast. But when I tried to add some package,software
manager always told me that file was missing. If I
change the source to a local ftp mirror,this problem
won't happen. How can I verify or setup a source
profile, so I can save some bandwidth?

[expert] where are mozilla,xine stuff in mandrake 9.2?

2003-10-23 Thread Vincent Chen
Hi, all

I just got a copy of mandrake 9.2 download edition.
It's very easy to perform a new install. But I found
some of my favorite apps like mozilla,xine,etc in 9.1
are missing after login, are they in default
installation of power pack or prosuite?

I know package management can add those stuff but I am
willing to pay to save some trouble. If this is how
mandrake define their product line,I am happy to
accept and wish it will bring more incoming for
mandrake. It's a good marketing stragety. If not, why
they are not in default installation?

Hi, all

I got a strange sound system problem here. If I login
from local console,the sound system works perfectly.
But if I login from remote X session,I got sound
device permission error. It seems that sound device
owner is root during system start but KDE will change
owner to those who try to login after start. It works
fine in local but something goes wrong with remote
session. Any idea?

BTW: anyone know which script give permission to user
during KDE startup?

[expert] nforce2, I don't know how to use it or a bad choice for linux?

2003-09-16 Thread Vincent Chen
Hi, all

My old VIA mainboard was gone weeks ago and I bought a
nforce2 board to replace it. I got a lot of situation
with this new board:

1. usb mouse won't work during mandrake 9.0
installation event I set it to USB 1.0/1.1 only,but it
works ok after new system start up. Is this a hardware
or mandrake problem?

2. while review dmesg output,my IDE drive hda doesn't
indicate as UDMA100. It does show as UDMA100 in the
old board. Should I run hdparm to get better
performance?

3. It quit offen that I got heavy disk I/O while using
mozilla to surf the net. At this time, I can barely
move mouse or do anything else. How can this happen?
This is my first terrible experience under linux. Is
it possible to tune the system for better performance.

4. Each day I use ntpdate to sync system time with a
time server, I got offset > 100s. The value for old
system always less than 5s. Is it possible caused by
point 3?


I have to say that this board works much better under
windows than linux. Do you have recommendation for AMD
boards which has best performance under linux? VIA?
SIS?


Thanks,

Vincent

[expert] english user interface but can process chinese

2003-08-25 Thread Vincent Chen
Dear all,

I use mandrake 9.0 for a while. The only reason I
didn't upgrade to mandrak 9.1 is I can edit .i18n to
have english  environment but still can use chinese
input method and display chinese content. After
upgrade to 9.1, I must set locale to zh.TW to have
chinese input work correctly. But all menu are chinese
and kconsole display everything in double byte. Is it
possible to keep user interface english but still can
process chinese properly? If yes, how can I do that in
mandrake 9.1?
