[newbie] Matrox Millennium (TVP 3026-220 64bit RAMDAC) problems
Hi, I am having problems configuring my video card under Mandrake Linux 6.0. My card is a Matrox Millennium (TVP 3026-220 64bit RAMDAC) with 4MB of WRAM, running on an Intel 166, with 96 MB of RAM. The problem I get is that auto probing the video card during installation fails, and hence I have to configure the card manually. Although my card works under X-Windows after manual configuration, it is very slow and the screen tends to black out after heavy screen movement. In fact, after any window movement, the screen shakes somewhat. Has anyone else had similar problems, and does anyone know how to fix it? All help will be greatly appreciated. regards, Tim. __ Get Your Private, Free Email at http://www.hotmail.com

Re: [newbie] ram problem
Hi It only hangs when I use "linux mem=128" at the lilo prompt. After I added the append mem=128 to the lilo.conf file in the 2.2.9-27mdk kernel section it boots fine but still does not detect any more than 65 meg. And no I am not over clocking I have a genuine Intel PII 400 and 128 meg of ram. Since posting my this list I have re-installed from the cd-rom and applied the updated. This has made no difference. It still hangs or not detect the ram above 65 meg.

[newbie] Reproducable system freeze
Hi, After running a certain application on my data for 2 hours, my machine suddenly goes from feeling normal to not reacting to anything: ctrl-alt-del doesnt work, mouse pointer does not move, ping returns nothing. I then reran in console mode as root, hoping there would be something to look at at on the screen, but I missed it, the monitor went to sleep (and then gets no signal, cant wake it up). Then press reset button, and look in /var/log/messages - nothing unusual. Then I did kern* to /var/log/kernel in /etc/syslog.conf, but again no errors. It looks like the program I run stops when it crawls over 512 mb of ram (there is 768 Mb installed), and I got the source code of it (but no program should be able to die a system, right?) What could it be. When I get sleep, we will try to swap the motherboard. Hopefully its hardware, but then why does the program stop at the same point, shouldnt it then be more random. If a new motherboard makes no difference, then I dont know how to find the trouble, and will feel a bit desparate then, because of deadlines. The trouble machine is part of a "production environment", and I just installed it from scratch (formatting all disks) using mandrake60-2.iso. I guess my question is, how does one get the maximum log information out of the system, in order to get clues? Second, now that I have re-installed 4 more machines due to that file-corruption deal, have there been any serious trouble reports for the current Mandrake? or could I go ahead and propagate it to the next 10-20 machines?

[newbie] Ram problem fixed
I got a mixed bag of answers but heres what happened I was using a lower case m instead of a upper case M for the ram size Thus at lilo prompt: linux mem=128m should be - linux mem=128M or in /etc/lilo.conf append = mem=128m should be - append mem=128M sorry to try everyone up on such a stupid mistake. thanks all Stephan

Ok, this really sucks. My hard drive isn't unmounting properly when i shut down. Each time i reboot or halt the system it gives me a message usually like "/dev/hda2/ device or resource busy."

There is a folder for each application, inside each folder there is an RPM and a short text file which describes what the program does but not how to launch or use it once the rpm is installed. Is there an FAQ on the application CD somewhere that provides at least terse instructions for launching and using the applications? I have searched around on the Mandrake site and discovered descriptions of each app that match the descriptions on the CD but I haven't found any launching and using instructions anywhere. Probably a silly question but it would be nice to be able to use some of these apps. Use the rpm command to query the package and list all of the files it installs. You'd use rpm -ql name-of-installed-package for a package that's installed, or rpm -qlp filename to query an rpm file. Alternatively you could use kpackage or gnorpm but those are slower than using the command line. That will list every file that the package installs. Look at the list of files; the binary file used to run the program will probably be in a 'bin' directory (like /usr/bin) and the location of help files (if there are any included in the package) will probably be apparent too.

why do you have to unmount the filesystem before taking the CD or floppy out? -Original Message- From: [EMAIL PROTECTED] [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED]]On Behalf Of Thomas J. Hamman Sent: Monday, August 09, 1999 9:15 AM To: [EMAIL PROTECTED] Subject: RE: [newbie] Accessing Floppy / CDROM Disks On 09-Aug-99 [EMAIL PROTECTED] wrote: Ok, I know this may sound really dumb but I cannot find anywhere how to access a floppy or cdrom disk. I have both "Floppy" and "CDROM" listed in the "Mount" directory, but if I try to go into the directory and do an "ls", I get nothing. I know I must be doing something really wrong, but I don't know what it is. In Linux you have to mount the drive first. You mount the drive once the disk/CD is in, then always unmount before you take the disk/CD out. A typical mount command looks like this: mount -t filesystem device mount-directory e.g. mount -t ext2 /dev/fd0 /mnt/floppy would mount the fd0 device (that's the first floppy drive), in the /mnt/floppy directory, assuming the disk in the drive has a Linux ext2 filesystem. (Usually though with floppy and CD drives you can use 'auto' as the file system, and mount will detect which filesystem the disk/CD is using.) IMPORTANT: Before taking the disk out of the drive in that example, you'd want to type 'umount /mnt/floppy' (you can omit the device and filesystem from the umount command) to unmount the disk. Now, there's a file in the /etc directory called fstab which holds configuration information for your mountable drives. Assuming you have just one floppy drive and one CDROM drive, you probably already have proper settings for your drives in fstab, which means in the mount command you can omit the filesystem option and either the device or directory options, because mount can get the rest of the needed info from /etc/fstab. So you can probably just type: mount /mnt/floppy(or mount /dev/fd0) to mount a floppy disk, and: mount /mnt/cdrom (or mount /dev/cdrom) to mount a CD. -Tom

RE: [newbie] Accessing Floppy / CDROM Disks
This has to do with disk caching. What you read and work with is stored in RAM. Linux writes it back to the disk when it is convenient to do so.

You may also wish to change your init runlevel in /etc/inittab to 3
rather than 5 this will give you a normal console login and when you

[newbie] printing w/Mandrake 6 and bjc-2000
Hi- First problem of the day is printing from Mandrake 6 with my Canon BJC-2000. I don't get any kind of response from the printer when I send jobs to it. Printtool identifies a printer on /dev/lp0, and indicates to me that it is successfully sending test pages to it, but the printer never does anything -- and yes, the printer is connected. lpc never show any print jobs or anything getting through. Could I be missing a package or something? I'd expect the printer to do something if it's really receiving data, and I'd feel a little puzzled if it even printed garbage; but at least I'd have a starting point. Any suggestions from you folks? (And if I actually get the printer to do something, has anyone put together ghostscript configuration for the bjc2000?) Thanks - -Alan

Nielish,
If you wan't to get to a console prompt simply start an xterm from KDE
and then do an su command, when prompted fpr the root password give
that password and you will have command line control of the system as
root.
You may also wish to change your init runlevel in /etc/inittab to 3
rather than 5 this will give you a normal console login and when you
wish to run Xwindow you would use the command: startx.
Good Luck,

Stephan Schutter I wouldn't consider a typical Windows user as setting an example for how someone (especially someone using Linux) should use their computer. ;) There's nothing wrong with using those 'archaic' text editors. Vi and emacs are much more efficient and powerful than most (if not all) graphical text editors. And they come with the added advantage of being useable under almost any situation. If you learn vi (not very difficult once you give it a serious try) then you really never have to bother with any other text editor. If you only use kwrite or gedit or whatever, and suddenly your system gets messed up and you have to boot with a rescue disk to tweak some things, and you've never looked at vi in your life... you're screwed.

Look at the list of files; the binary file used to run the program will probably be in a 'bin' directory (like /usr/bin) and the location of help files (if there are any included in the package) will probably be apparent too.

Do a Custom install, and when you get to the part where you choose package categories, you should be fine picking what you do and don't want from there. I often install just about every category except for the servers, and that installs about 600-700MB worth of stuff if I recall correctly. Unchecking Tex and Emacs should save a lot of space since those two programs are huge. Just don't check 'Everything', since that will install somewhere around 1.1GB of stuff.. Also you probably won't have the luxury of multiple non-swap partitions... so make about a 50-100MB swap partition and put the rest of your space in the root partition. I guess I won't need the development part 'til I learn C (my previous programming has been in PowerBASIC and DOS).

[newbie] SB PCI 128 FIXED! READ THIS!!
First, let me say THANKS to the many people who have responded with ideas.!! I TRULY thank all of you.. But I stumbled across this myself and think I found a bug. First, the fix. To refresh, I had partial sound, but NO CD sound, and no realplay. I did have .wav and sounds in enlighenment/gnome, but many .wav's I played were distorted. I tried sndconfig with all options, no good. Someone said rmmod sound, I got no sound loaded or something.. Last night someone posted rmmod soundcore.. I tried it and got sound module is in use.. So for the heck of it ( this was all logged in as root btw, I retried sndconfig and got Linus, and tried a CD, wham!.. This was in KDE as root. I then booted into KDE as user, worked fine.. Didn't have time for gnome/enlighenment, hadda goto work. Here's the breaker! After work, booted into gnome/enlightenment, and played a CD.. Worked.. Ahh.. I fixed it.. Well then I broke it. GMIX. The current version of GMIX that comes with Mandrake 6.0. I opened it and moved the CD volume and got a "pop" then silence. ( My gut feeling all along was gnome broke it since from what I *remember* when I first installed Mandrake 6.0 I was a KDE user and had never played with gnome but was curious about it and *think* I remember CD working, but not sure.) So,, did the same as above and sound is back.. Opened KMIX from gnome and all is well. Needless to say, I have now removed GMIX from the system! Hope any Mandrake people reading this can hopefully verify! Thanks again. Alan -- === [EMAIL PROTECTED] ( [EMAIL PROTECTED] ) Coming to you with Linux-Mandrake 6.0
[newbie] Re: [expert] Linux Mandrake 6.0 Question
Well, let me recap what I *do* have (hardware wise): I have a PCI/ISA-ONLY motherboard with DUAL-PPro 200's. I have 192 megs of RAM, almost 11 GIGS of drive space (heck, I might dual-boot Red Hat 6 and Mandrake just for the fun of it G) I have an Advansys Ultra SCSI PCI card. On-board is an SB-16/clone built-in. Still to get: Floppy, Network and Video. AGP is out -- no AGP slot on a PPro. :-) If I read all the threads correctly, I should IMMEDIATELY get the updated kernels and SOX, etc. Which files are the "initscripts"? I am used to doing a "custom" install with everything except the foreign-language "how-to" files, and I'll certainly have the drivespace for it. With SCSI, do I still need to have the /boot in the first 1023 cylinders? If so, I may have /boot on an IDE and boot from IDE and have the rest of the system on my 9.1 GB SCSI. Let me also recap that I'm NOT exactly a newbie, but I'm no expert either... :-) I've been running Linux for the past 6 months at work (dual-booting between Linux and Win98, mostly staying in Linux G) I think I'm taking on a bit of a challenge here setting up an SMP machine. :-) John
