Is anyone using a new app on the non-Linux boxes? Was there a storm just before this problem started? (One of my LinkSys ports was zapped by lightning induction -- the connected box was not affected) Well, this is interesting because there was one hell of a lightning storm several days before this problem appeared. The only reason I don't think this correlates is because the errors didn't appear until a few days after. What about moisture around the CAT5 cables. Our office is an older structure that sits on pier and beam with the CAT5 run underneath. After the storm, it is possible the CAT5 was in a very moist environment. The CAT5 insulation should be good on all the cables. Has anyone heard of moisture around cables causing this type of problem? Would it be possible to take a new cable and run it on the floor and see if the problem goes away for a day? Want to buy your Pack or Services from MandrakeSoft? Go to http://www.mandrakestore.com

RE: [expert] need help to configure X
Looks like the 1280x1024 mode is too high for your monitor to handle. Try changing to lower res mode to see if that helps (CTRL,ALT,-). Also, you are running at 24bit color depth.

RE: [expert] need help to configure X
Hmmm... I really don't understand that. I have a 22-inch monitor that can easily handle 1600x1200, and the video card has 8meg of memory. I tried lowering the settings, though, and it didn't really change anything, except to make the problems visually bigger. Looks like this isn't really a mandrake problem, but X. Do you know of a good mailing list or newsgroup for getting help with my problem? There must be someone out there who has done this already. Maybe I'll have to upgrade the video card. For some reason I have this obsession with using up my old hardware. The system in question is still using my keyboard, floppy, CD and soundcard from 1993, and the video card is from 1998. I hate to replace the video while I still have other stuff that's five years older. It's not the money, just a psychological block. :-) -Original Message- From: [EMAIL PROTECTED] [mailto:expert-owner;linux-mandrake.com]On Behalf Of Mike Morrell Sent: Wednesday, October 30, 2002 3:59 PM To: [EMAIL PROTECTED] Subject: RE: [expert] need help to configure X Looks like the 1280x1024 mode is too high for your monitor to handle.

Well I gave it one more shot. Did a reformat and complete reinstall, selected generic 1280x1024@74hz monitor, then various X configurations. The last thing I tried was XFree-4 vesa (don't know why that wouldn't work for me yesterday) with 16-bit color at 1280x1034, and it worked!

Re: [expert] need help to configure X
Tim, Try this to post your XF86config-4 file and xfree log file. 1. put dos formated floppy in drive. I think that supermount should mount it automatically. If not manually mount it with mount -t vfat /dev/fd0 /mnt/floppy 2. cp /etc/X11/XF86config-4 /mnt/floppy 3. cd /var/log 4. ls look for a file that starts with xfree or something like that. not sure of file name for log file but something close to this I think... 5. cp xfree /mnt/floppy 6. unmount floppy if needed.

Everything looks hunky-dory until I configure X. How do I get X to use the same video mode as the installation program? I found a framebuffer HOWTO that seems to list my card as VESA 2.0 compliant, but I don't understand how to use the info in the document to make a xconfig file, or to pick the right arguments for startx.

Re: [expert] need help for Mesa ...
hi benjamin, first at all thanks for your answer. yes, I'm using blender as well as I would use mindseye. and especially for that mindseye I need OpenGL (Mesa, and glut) I'm planning to do some jobs in modelling, animations and pictures. Have done such jobs a few years ago on a Suns-Sparc 10 and an SGI-Indigo. on the Sun-Sparc-10 I had run the gig3dgo, its like blender, and on the SGI I was working with Alias-Animator. Have nothing seen which would have the same featers like that - a really first class tool for animations with a bones-tool and much more. So I'll try to do the same again on a linux-basis. Have seen some good tools. for shure, they have only one or two very good tools for itself, but having 10 or 15 tools, which are doing their jobs very good, maybe I can do good compisitions of all of that tools. I'll try. have seen a bones-tool in or for mindseye, but have to look again in the webspace, so I can be shure, what I say now. anyway, I am happy for your helps and ideas thanks and bye hans Am Montag, 19.

For example I hear that the last Intel processor Pentium XP have problems with linux ... the machine runs slowly ... thing like that. My boss in the group target to Intel/Amd of about 2GHz , lots of memory... and I don' t have a clue about the motherboard( I read about problems with some mother that included some chipsets ). May be some info about cooling (how many fans are needed). We have to buy the machines in Germany (that is part of the agreement) and then send them back to Argentina. I don't read german... that' s a problem. :0 So we need to buy this parts without contact them personally . If some of you could help me with some possible configurations , it would be great to receive that information. TIA ALF Mr. Lopez: AMD-compatible motherboards have had issues for a long time, but Intel mobos have always been absolutely rock-solid. That said, I think what you're looking for is AMD right now (tons or processor/memory power) and there are finally some kickass boards out for the Athlon (thank god for the SiS 735 chipset!). I would very, very, very strongly recommend the dual-Athlon system as descibed by the folks from hardwareguys over at http://www.hardwareguys.com/guides/smp-amd.html. My only personal advice is to wait until after AMD drops their new Hammer series of processors, particularly the Opteron Sledgehammer and Opteron Clawhammer DP (the server-class line). Once those are released 3-5 months from now you will be able to find Athlon MP processors and appropriate mobos for bargain basement prices. Good luck shopping and I strongly urge you again to check out the link to www.hardwareguys.com because they are the most informed and trustworthy people in the business, they also are amazing at responding to email if you have any questions.

Specifically, I don't know if its lilo first, then grub or vice versa. Yes, I can rtfm, and I have. Yes, I know /sbin/lilo installs the boot loader. I just haven't done it manually before and would like any brief bits of wisdom you may be willing to share. You may have RTFM, but you missed the fact that LILO and GRUB are two different apps that do essentially the same thing. Since you mentioned GRUB first, I assume that is what you want to use. Did you make a boot disk? If so, after your re-install Windows, boot with the boot disk and re-install GRUB as follows: # grub-install will do the trick. If you forgot to make a boot disk, shame on you. Make sure you have one next time.

Re: [expert] need help connection refused ftp server
Be reasonable, you must know that a problem like connection refused could be caused my all manner of problems. It could be a problem with the server, a problem with the client, the firewall (if any), with the network, with IP masquerading... etc. A simple message like connection refused, unnacceptable is not going to work here. You need to help us in order for us to help you, explain in more detail what you are trying to do, what your setup is and what you've already tried as a fix. The reason you got bitchy responses to your question was not because everyone here is antagonistic, it's because no-one *could* help you with so little information to go on. How could someone take a connection refused message with no other information whatsoever (not even a VERSION for Pro FTPd) and magically divine what the problem is?

Re: [expert] Need help with LM8.0 and IDE
I have the Abit KT7A and have upgraded my BIO to KT73R dated 7/13/01 from the
Abit site in Taiwan. That seems to have fixed my problems. If I recall they
also had BIO upgrades for KT7 and KT7-RAID. You might want to give them a

Civilme from Mandrake suggested the WD drives can't handle the throughput

motherboard uses the VIA Apollo KT133 (VT8363 and VT82C686A) and the High

At this point I'm getting desperate. Should I get a BIOS update? (I
haven't been able to find one on Abit's site). Are there BIOS settings
that can fix the problem? Is it a Linux problem with these chips?

No, your original thought was correct. You can verify what groups

and change the link in KDE's menus to point to this script instead
of directly to the kpilot program.
No, that's definitely not going to work, at least not that way. The
newgrp command gives you a *new shell* that had the gid you
specified. To make that work it would have to be something like:
#!/usr/bin/newgrp visor
kpilot
But you don't want to do that anyway. Go back to what you were doing
to begin with - it sounded like you were on the right track.
# chgrp visor /dev/ttyUSB1
# chmod g+rw /dev/ttyUSB1
put yourself in group visor
logout
log in again
*OR*, better yet, figure out how to get the device chowned to belong
to you when you log in and returned when you log out again.

RE: [expert] need help with pgaccess in 8.0
I would recommend going and downloading the source of Postgres. In their build instructions they have a nice step by step process for how to get Postgres up and running. It includes how to set up the database and add users. Unfortunately, I don't have my Postgres system up and running at the moment so I can't be of much more help than that. If you're still having problems next week, let me know and I'll see if I can help you some more.

When you're telnet-ed in, type `su', root's password, then type `shutdown -r now'. You should also be able to do this via webmin. Go to your box in a browser, but with port 1: http://my-remote-box.com:1 You should get a login dialog, if webmin is already running; enter ``root'' and root's password.

That is SIGSEGV--segmentation fault--and it is occurring while you are loading

a) You have an error reading the material from the CD into memory
or
b) You have an error in memory on your machine
In the case of a), certain CDs and certain CD Drives do not necessarily
mix--you can call it a CD media error or a CD Drive error or an ancient or worn
CD drive without revealing the source of the problem. Obvious things to do are
as follows:
1. Try different media if it is available--or try an install via FTP or hard
disk or network if you have the resources to support it.
2. Mount a different CD drive, if you have one available
3. Retry the preocess and make sure the error message repeats at the same
spot, else, start thinking of b)
b) is not necessarily memory. It could also be motherboard; in fact that is
more likely in most cases. EVEN IF your motherboard seems to work under
another OS (with the exception of the stupid freeze-ups of that "other" OS, a
lot of mobo manufacturers and some cynical computer makers put out a shoddy
product with a lot of corners cut, figuring you will blame the software.
Linux-Mandrake is 586 (Pentium) code and tightens the requirements of the
hardware somewhere close to spec, and quite a lot of hardware fails on ghostly
signal reflections and such which would almost always work in 386 code systems.
So the answer is--swap out what you can, and make sure everything has
adequate cooling--this is unlikely a problem of your method or of the software.

your situation.

Thanks in advance. Ralph PS. Have tried the usual KDE sites for FAQ's to no avail. __ Get Your Private, Free Email at http://www.hotmail.com
Re: [expert] Need help fixing my cdrom access, after upgrade to Mandrake 7.0
No. Just follow Brian's advice and all will work fine. I installed MDK 7.0-2 with high security, followed Brian's suggestion and all worked, Bye, Matt From: "Sang Y.

Re: [expert] Need help with parallel port zip drive
Frank, Load in "insmod parport" before you load "insmod ppa" those errors comes from the parport not being loaded manually or installed in the kernel.
