[expert] Any harm in upgrading? (Rpm question)
Often, when I update something, like for example Mozilla's 1.6 alpha is out, and I want to install it. It comes with its own installer. When I try to remove Mozilla 1.3 that comes with Mandrake 9.1, it gives me a warning that galeon and other tools are using mozilla 1.3. Can I safely assume that I can use the --nodeps option and bypass these warnings, since I intend to install the updated version of the same program a few minutes later?I have been doing that, but I have a nagging doubt about it! thanks! -turgut -- Turgut Kalfaoglu http://www.kalfaoglu.com EgeNet Internet Services http://www.egenet.com.tr Linux: There is worse, but it costs more.

[expert] glxinfo crashes; and solution.
This morning, after doing an RPM -U of xine and its libraries, I noticed that kwrite would not work, nor would glxinfo ; it crashed at startup. I noticed that /usr/X11R6/lib/libGL.so.1 -> libGLwrapper?? something. I had the CVS-copy of DRI XFree86, so I did a make install, and I have the utilities back working; that is, direct writes enabled, glxinfo working, etc. I just wondered why my libGL got pointed to that "wrapper" whatever it was.. now I see that /usr/X11R6/lib/libGL.so.1 -> libGL.so.1.2 PS: Xine is excellent :) -turgut - Turgut Kalfaoglu: http://www.kalfaoglu.com EgeNet Internet Services: http://www.egenet.com.tr Want to buy your Pack or Services from MandrakeSoft?

Re: [expert] Where can I get mandrake precompiled kernels .config files?
Btw, for those who are interested in getting the leanest kernel possible, may wish to investigate compiling your own kernel; it's not hard. I was surprised how "loaded" the precompiled kernels are. Of course it makes sense, it needs to work with all possible hardware configurations. Most of the stuff is loaded as modules (loaded as needed); but some stuff cannot be made as modules; so those get built into the kernel. -turgut -- Turgut Kalfaoglu http://www.kalfaoglu.com EgeNet Internet Services http://www.egenet.com.tr Linux: There is worse, but it costs more.

[expert] Solved: Direct Rendering
After working on it for many days, I was able to fix my "Direct Rendering" problem after a clean install of Mandrake 9.1, followed by a kernel upgrade to 2.4.22. Previously, I was trying to get DRI to work under 2.6.0test7 kernel, which I believe has serious problems with DRI, and I would be amazed and in awe if anyone has gotten that combination to work. After I re-installed Mandrake 9.1, I upgraded its kernel from source of plain-vanilla 2.4.22, which disabled the DRI. Binary distribution of DRI did not help; it just complained that my AGP heap was too old. I already had the DRI-CVS tree on my disk, I just re-did the kernel modules with make -f Makefile.Linux and manually copied radeon.o to /lib/modules/2.4.22/kernel/drivers/char/drm Upon restart, I had my DRI working again. Btw, the hardware is an IBM Thinkpad R40 with 1400x1050 X resolution. -turgut -------- Turgut Kalfaoglu http://www.kalfaoglu.com EgeNet Internet Services http://www.egenet.com.tr Want to buy your Pack or Services from MandrakeSoft?

[expert] upgrading mandrake's kernel
I am reinstalling 9.1 on my Thinkpad laptop; and I noticed the old problem; that you cannot enable the IDE DMA with my setup; hdparms just says operation not permitted or something. I was wondering what is the best way to upgrade to a newer kernel, say 2.4.22 ? Does Mandrake use a patched the kernel, or is it 'plain vanilla' as found at www.kernel.org? Can I just download the new one from kernel.org, make xconfig, install, and let it rip?

[expert] FYI: If DRI causes you troubles..
Here is some blurb I found on the net, if there are other sufferers like me: Date: Thu, 03 Oct 2002 13:27:40 +0200 From: Felix Kühling <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> To: Robert Thomas <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> Cc: [EMAIL PROTECTED], dri-devel <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> Subject: Re: [Dri-users] Mandrake 9 issues and solution (plus minor bug report). Hi all, D S and I discovered that Mandrake 9.0 includes Gatos code in their Xserver. I think this is the reason for the problems Mandrake 9.0 users are experiencing with binary snapshots. Up to now the only solution seems to be to compile DRI yourself. A suitable custom binary snapshot (if anyone wants to make one) would probably have to replace the 2D ati drivers with clean (non-gatos) ones. Best regards, Felix On Thu, 03 Oct 2002 17:20:17 -0400 Robert Thomas <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> wrote: I've noticed some people saying that it's almost impossible to get DRI Running on Mandrake 9. Well, they're right. *Almost* impossible. The hardware: Athlon 2000+ (1.6G). Radeon 8500 (Identified as 'ATI Radeon 8500 QL'). Standard Mandrake .19-mdk-whatever kernel. DRI Does Not Work with Mandrake 9 out of the box. glxinfo will not say Yes to direct rendering no matter what you do. The first issue was an inability to insert the kernel module, due to unmet dependencies. I've had this happen before with mandrake Kernels, so I installed a clean 2.4.19. After recompiling, I re-inserted and started on the long and strange saga of SegV's when starting X. After reading some hints on the users lists, it was mentioned that GCC 3.2 is shipped with mandrake, and for those that don't know, it's pretty much binary-incompatible with things compiled with previous versions of GCC. Current State: Clean 2.4.19 kernel, gcc 3.2. I had to download the DRI X source, and compile and install the X Server. The module inserted cleanly, and, X started up, to my surprise. I was getting quite sick of having to reboot the machine 8-) I'm quite happy to package up a set of binaries if anyone wants them - but, someone will need to tell me which, specific, binaries are going to be needed 8-) The bug report I mentioned. In the source package, 'xf86cfg' is trying to link to libXpm.a -- this doesn't exist in the source, nor does it seem to exist anywhere in the Mandrake distribution (much to my surprise). I ended up making an empty libXpm myself, and sticking it in /usr/lib, and that seemed to work. (For those that want to do it themselves -- root# touch foo.c root# gcc -c foo.c root# ar -r /usr/lib/libXpm.a foo.o ) There are some c++ files, that try to be compiled with 'c++' - there is no such beast (this, I think, is a mandrake-ism. There should be.) - only g++. Mandrake users: ln -s /etc/alternatives/g++ /etc/alternatives/c++ fixes it. A 'make World' should then quite happily work, without any errors. A 'make install' installs everything in the right place, -except- for the kernel module. ./build/xc/programs/Xserver/hw/xfree86/os-support/linux/drm/kernel/radeon.o (or whatever your kernel driver should be) should be copied to /lib/modules/2.4.19/kernel -- it doesn't matter where you put it, depmod -a sorts it out. A 'startx' will then fire up X, and 'glxinfo' now reports: [EMAIL PROTECTED] DRI]# glxinfo name of display: :0.0 Loading required GL library /usr/X11R6/lib/libGL.so.1.2 r200CreateScreen display: :0 screen: 0 direct rendering: Yes server glx vendor string: SGI server glx version string: 1.2 server glx extensions: [...etc etc etc...] [EMAIL PROTECTED] DRI]# glxgears Loading required GL library /usr/X11R6/lib/libGL.so.1.2 r200CreateScreen 8001 frames in 5.0 seconds = 1600.200 FPS 8123 frames in 5.0 seconds = 1624.600 FPS 8146 frames in 5.0 seconds = 1629.200 FPS [EMAIL PROTECTED] DRI]# Pre DRI, it was 500 FPS.

[expert] ATI Radeon 7500 performance
Hi - my laptop (Thinkpad R40) has an ATI Radeon 7500 built-in. My aim is to use Windows' OpenGL applications under Wine, with decent visual performance. I have so far upgraded my kernel to 2.6.0test5 (due to the DMA-Off problem of the default Mandrake 9.1 kernel), downloaded the CVS version of Wine, and recompiled it with --with-opengl option. it all works well, except the application complains that my XF86+Mesa+Dri (which all appear to be loading correctly) does not support that mode of OpenGL; regardless of the mode I chose.

[expert] INETD hangs
A customer's server is doing odd things; at startup it says: Starting INET Services. and gets stuck there, for good it seems, until you do a CTRL-BREAK, etc. It displays [FAILED] and goes on.. When the machine comes up, there is no 'inetd' running. So, you start inetd manually from a command line, and it gets stuck there, you never get the prompt back. tail /var/log/messages displays nothing unusual, and the machine can be pinged; and can resolve hosts (has valid /etc/resolv.conf) Hellp! -turgut -- EgeNet Internet Services: http://www.egenet.com.tr All of Turkey Online: http://find.egenet.com.tr

[expert] sockets refusing to die
One of our Mandrake 7.2 servers has a very bewildering habit. A particular application, an Ultima Online game actually, if it's crashed or killed, the sockets that it had connected stay open, sometimes for 20 minutes or more. Doing a "socklist | grep 2593" shows it like: tcp 2593 0 0 00 tcp 2593 0 0 00 meaning, no application name next to them, but they linger for forever. Naturally, ps aux | grep wolfpack (wolfpack is the name of the Ultima Online game) shows nothing. How can I close these sockets, so I can restart the game? (if I restart the game before the sockets close, I get a 'cannot bind' error).

Interestingly, make modules does not build supermount.o; it kinda ignores that subdirectory it seems. doing a make in that subdir also fails. Thus, I can't enable supermount. It also turns out that the things in /etc/fstab that are of type VFAT are also not loaded; things like /mnt/win_c and /mnt/win_d are not mounted. typing mount -av also totally ignores those lines.

[Save to Disk] [Open][Cancel] naturally, I hit OPEN, and it gives: "Error - Konqueror There appears to be a misconfiguration. You have associated text/html, but it cant handle this file type." I do remember tinkering with File Associations last night; in order to get Konqueror to handle HTML's after having Netscape 6 start when I try to open up the HOWTO's, maybe that corrupted something? -turgut -- EgeNet Internet Services: http://www.egenet.com.tr All of Turkey Online: http://find.egenet.com.tr
[expert] Knode ?
This is odd; when I use Knode, the news reader, it shows all articles as 'missing'. I click on any article and it says missing. It used to work fine, but it "deteriorated" over time. It used to be that some articles were fine, others were missing; now they ALL seem missing. I even set the expiry settings to just 1 day, and still it lists hundreds of messages; and none of them have any bodies. Netscape 6 is able to read those groups and fetch the articles without problems, however. -turgut -- EgeNet Internet Services: http://www.egenet.com.tr All of Turkey Online: http://find.egenet.com.tr

I am seriously thinking of going back to the 2.2.17 kernel. Great idea, and great relief to hear that it's the kernel and not my stupidity :) Um, how does one go back to the old kernel? thanks, -turgut
Re: [expert] sound and the new kernel on IBM laptops (A20 or 1400)
Dave: The only different is that /proc/asound/cards says --- No Sound Card in my case. I have a nagging suspicion about two things: 1) I/O / IRQ conflicts (I dual boot to WindozeME for games; and that has no problems with our Crystal Sound chip) 2) Older snd-card-cs46xx or other drivers lingering at other directories, and being used, instead of the newer ones. No idea what to do next.

It seems impossible to get alsa sound working in Thinkpad A20m with the new kernel (.19). I think I tried everything now; it appears to load, but artsd fails to start with /dev/dsp cannot be opened, although I have snd-pcm-oss mentioned in modules.conf, and I even tried modprobe manually for it.

No idea why; today startx refuses to start, and /var/log/messages showed it complaining about two things, missing 100dpi font directory, and cant locate module binfmt-. Indeed, I did not have that 100dpi directory. Well, I reinstalled the 100dpi font from the CD, and it did not help. I re-installed the XF86 server, and now I'm a happy camper, X works again. Last night I was tinkering with reinstalling Mesa-3, I wonder if that caused it.

Greetings. Ever since I upgraded to the new kernel, 2.2.19-4 (?) , whatever was available on the MandrakeUpdate, I lost the sound support on the Thinkpad A20m.

[expert] Sound weirdness with Thinkpad A20m
Sound is doing really weird things lately; (that's on top of xfs that refuses to start at init time; I just put an xfs & in 'startx' to start it manually; no idea why it doesn't work at boottime!) At startup, it plays the sound at about 1/10th the speed; with a distortion that would make electro-guitar amps green with envy! You try playing an MP3 file, and you get something like 'BBRRAA' instead of the first syllable of the song! The laptop also get stuck at boot time sometimes when it's about to load the crystal sound module. Any ideas what's going on? Thanks, -turgut

[expert] Mandrake Update on 7.2
Mandrake update is too frustrating to use.. As a mortal user would, I clicked on SELECT ALL (which doesnt work, btw, unless if you first click on one of the items listed) and clicked on DO UPDATES. It gave me a warning about one of the packages, I clicked on FORCE. It gave me a page of errors from rpm, blah blah conflicting with blah blah. I think Mandrake Update needs more intelligence to figure out these conflicts. If it's a new lib* it needs, it should fetch and install it FIRST, before attempting to install an application, for example. -turgut
