[expert] 7.2 Net configuration

2000-11-06 Thread Werner E. Niebel


Hi everyone,

I just tried to install Mandrake 7.2.  It got all the way through the
installation but died on the network configuration When trying to
configure for local LAN it didnt seem to detect my card... I have never
had problems with other versions of Mandrake and its the same machine...

The install kept looping to set the time zone and network connection and

I had to cancel it in order to get through the setupI tried running
netconf as root and get an error message pertaining to auto probe or
something to that effect.

The ddebug.log (install log) is belowAnyone (especially from
Mandrake) have any ideas.  Note particularly the warnings.  tulip is
failing.  I dont know what this is...Anyone...The key thing below I
think is a warning stating "No network card found"

Any Help would really be appreciated.  Im at a loss and would really
like to see what this new Mandrake can do.

For now Im back to 7.1.

Thanks

Werner

Re: [expert] Real PLayer

2000-06-26 Thread Werner E. Niebel

Traci,

I tried playing with settings after your suggestion ... no dice..ugggh how
frustrating... obviously this is not critical to my system running but would like
to know what is causing it...

Has anyone else been eable to run real player with realtime streams... Could
someone try to connect to rush limbaugh real time who is running Mandrake 7.1 ...
Could someone even at Mandrake try this... I have a bunch of things Ilike to tune
into on occasion... some work, some dont...

Ive tried a few things including:

1)  changing transport to TCP

2) tried deleting my directory and letting netscape and Real player install
defaults..

3) tried copying stuff over from Mandrake 7.0 drive since I know it works on there
.

4) tried installing an old version of both netscape and real player


HELP!!  anyone who might be able to figure this out would help my sanity since
I cant seem to troubleshoot this one effectively.

Werner


Traci Collins wrote:

 Have you setup RealPlayer to use TCP exclusively? By default
 Realplayer will sometimes attempt to use UDP for connections because
 it does less handshaking and may therefore stream more effectively.
 If you have any trouble between you and the site you are connecting
 to the lack of handshaking can keep your connection from functioning
 at all. Once Real told me to try out forcing my player to always use
 TCP the reliability of my connections went up dramatically. Something
 to try if you haven't already tried it.

Re: [expert] how to disable shadow passwords - netatalk

2000-06-11 Thread Werner E. Niebel

I wanted to do the same thing on my installation.  If memory serves me you
need to do the pwunconv grpunconv as you already did.  Check that the
passwords are no longer :x: in the /etc/passwd file.

You now need to disable the password verification and generation in PAM.
Change the directory to /etc/pam.d and edit the passwd file.  Comment out the
lines as shown and rewrite these lines with the mods shown... hope that
helps... let me know if it works... its been a while since I did this:


#%PAM-1.0
auth   required /lib/security/pam_pwdb.so shadow nullok
accountrequired /lib/security/pam_pwdb.so
#password   required/lib/security/pam_cracklib.so retry=3

hope it helps

  Hi, does anybody know how to disable shadow passwords?
 
  I've tried pwunconv and grpunconv. But then when you change your passwd
  you still get an 'x' in /etc/passwd and you can't log in.
 
  Why am I doing this? Well, when I installed Mandrake 6.1 last summer,
  shadowing seemed like a reasonable thing to do, even though my machine
  is a dial-up client. However, I just installed netatalk and wasn't been
  able to get it working with shadow passwords (problems compiling DES
  module). So I rebuilt it without SHADOWPW defined.
 
  Now some passwords do work and some don't work. And after you run passwd
  on an account, the password will definitely not work. (The effect of
  passwd, which I checked using
  find / -mount -mmin -2
  was just to put an 'x' in passwd. So apparently it thinks shadow is in
  effect but can't find the shadow file and doesn't complain.)
 
  At this poing I'm wondering if a full upgrade to 7.1 would be the
  easiest thing
 
  TIA!

 I have netatalk working fine with shadow passwords. Try installing from an
 RPM instaed of rolling your own.

Norvell,

I had the same problem... I was clearly due to a bad ISO image when I FTPed the ISO

 Choosing continue would let install finish.  After booting system for

 the ``bad'' package was one of the Mesa rpms, and at home a Zope package
 didn't install.  I did both installs from the same CDs which a co-worker
 burned from iso images.  Bad CDs maybe?

 My tape drive worked flawlessly with Linux-Mandrake 7.0.  Before
 installing Linux-Mandrake 7.1, I backed up all my important data to my
 HP Colorado 8GB internal IDE tape drive.  After backing up the data, I
 restored to a different directory to test it and had no problems.  After
 wiping out my 7.0 install and installing 7.1, I can't read anything from
 my tape.  I'm attaching the error message.  I tried a different tape
 with no success.  One weird thing, however:  I can write to tape with
 7.1 (tar cvzpf /dev/ht0 files), I just can't read from it.  I tried
 /dev/MAKEDEV and MAKEDEV.ide, attempting to re-generate any possibly bad
 dev entries for the tape.  This also didn't help.  Using the previous
 version of tar (from 7.0) didn't help, nor did taper have any success
 (taper also could write, but not read tape).  I re-installed 7.0 and
 restored all my data with no problem.

[expert] Kernel

2000-02-11 Thread Werner E. Niebel

Hi everyone...

Ive made some posts recently regarding kernel compilation/installation..

Ive tried several suggestions with no luck getting my smp stuff to
work

If I compile and install a new kernel I do:

make clean  make dep make bzImage  make modules  make
install  make install_modules

Right after I run lilo although I think make install does it.

The computer now boots but has problems with the sound modules (I had to
compile the AIC7xxx driver into the kernel)

If I upgrade (or downgrade my kernel) using the binaries(RPMs), what is
required to change the kernel..

Could someone please educated me a bit on what the kernel requires at
boot and educate what these things are:

initrd - I understand this is the RAM disk at boot but what needs to be
done with this if the kernel changes

System.map - Have no clue

module_info

When I try to link these manually I still get a kernel panick on my SCSI

module

Kernel panic :  aic7xxx.o not compiled for current kernel ___smp.
Module was compiled for ___linus.

Something to the effect of the above line occurs.. Ive tried linking
vmlinuz and module_info and such to the new SMP info and then ran
lilo...

Im simply confused as to where the SMP module is trying to load this
from... Shouldnt it load it from the smp modules directory?

Ive even tried to pull down a redhat smp kernel module and I get this
same kernel panick.  I know this kernel works since its running on an
identical machine.  Consequently, I know that I must have forgotten to
link or run some script...

Any help is GREATLY appreciated.

variable regardless of what I set on the command line:

[EMAIL PROTECTED]: gnome-terminal --display biergarten:1

Seems to work fine...right?  It pops it up onto :0 ... Im using VNC for

Just out of curiosity, what are the security levels and what do they do?  I dont

Is this something that has been around for a while or is it something new?  What
is done to the partition in addition to write/read permissions for "ugo"

 I couple odd odd things I've noticed with Air (Mandrake 7.0)

 I think someone mentioned problems with locking on the Win Partition. I changed
 my fstab options on hda1 to user, exec,dev,suid which seems to fix it and put
 the drive on low security (which is what I wanted).

 Other stuffwhenever I change the volume in kmix, a reboot resets it to the
 default (ultra-loud) level (any help with that would be appreciated)

 And another oddity, I was in Kpm and noticed that the graphic doesn't show my
 swap partition at all (the bar representing how much swap is used shows 0/0).
 Every other system monitor, from Ktop Gtop and even the individual process
 entries in KPM all show swap space in use (and files allocated to the swap).

 Paul,

 Thanks for the help... I tried downloading the binaries and did have the same
 result... for some reason I can perform all X operations as I would expect, no
 crashes.  I guess Ill try a native compile once again and see what happens...
 also Ill try and list the symbol table for both and see if anything looks
 strange...Im still at a loss as to why

 Thanks for the help

  Hi Werner,
 
  I had a lot of problems with the VNC RPM on the Mandrake 6.1 disk.  I
  was VNCing from work (latest version, 3.3.3 R2) to the VNC server at
  home.  It had a lot of problems, and I finally just downloaded the
  binaries from the source and it works like a champ.
