[newbie] wyse 60 emulation ona linux client

1999-10-21 Thread PCLow



my company currently uses a ms windows emulation 

application (Anzio) to emulate wyse 60 to access the 
PICK application on a redhat server supplied by the 
vendor.

I'm trying to use a linux client to access PICK 
instead,
but having problem in setting the wyse 
emulation.

Can someone help me? If i'm successful, my 
boss 
will deploy linux instead ofMS windows since 
the
PICK is all that my dept does anyway.

thanks.

Re: [newbie] Sound

1999-10-21 Thread Ernest N. Wilcox Jr.

Sorry to say it, but you have a configuration conflict there. If your
sound card and your floppy drive are trying to use the same DMA channel,
then the solution is to change one of them if at all possible. If your
sound card has jumpers for it's configuration on the card, try changing
the one for the DMA chanel in conflict to a chanel not in use (assuming
there is one).

If your sound card is an ISA PnP card like mine, then you may need to
run the isapmptools to set up your card. To do this, from a Konsole
window or a Console (text mode), run

isapnpdump  /etc/isapnp.conf

Next you must edit the isapnp.conf file, enabling the correct parameters
to eliminate the conflict. Finally, you run

isapnp

to set up the card. I know that this is a daunting process, but there is
help right there on your system in

/usr/doc/isapnptools-1,18,

and in the man pages, using

man isaapnp,

and

man isapnp.conf.

I hope this is of some help,

Ernie

 Hi,
 Running KDE1.1.1, Mandrake6.0.
 Whenever I boot up my notebook(not often- about once a week), I do not
 get any  sound until I run sndconfig.  Everything runs fine on the
 sndconfig, and then it tells me that I already have a config file and
 would I like to overwrite.  I hit yes and I'm away.  It's more
 irritating that anything else.
 My initial trouble shooting brought me to realise that one of the
 problems was because my FDD (external - from the parallel port) and the
 sound card was like seeing who would get the first DMA.  But, if I leave
 my FDD continuously plugged in, I would still get this problem.
 Same problems encountered when I was running RH6.0.  Any suggestions,
 anyone?

Try using Xconfigurator, it is far more user friendly. It should give

should run it from a Konsole window, or a Console (text mode).

 Hello,
 
 Does anyone have experience getting a CMI 8338 chip sound card to work with
 Linux.  Supports lists the CMI 8330 chip but not the 8338.  I've tried every
 card driver in the list and no luck.  I do get some trace of sound with a
 few of the choices, but I have to turn the speakers on full power and I can
 barely hear it.  I have a couple ESS boards coming in the mail this week, so
 I'll probably switch to one of those.
 
 I gave up on getting the SiS5597 on-board video to work and switched to a
 ATI Mach 64 2Mb PCI.  I did try using the XFree86 3.3.5 but when I run
 XF86Setup, I couldn't get it to work...couldn't get it to reconfigure back
 to VGA16...so I end up reinstalling Linux each time.  The ATI card works
 well except I can't figure out how to change resolution.  I'm currently at
 1024x768x16bit.  Do I use xf86config?  Whenever I run this program I seen to
 get problems as a result.  This program asks for monitor information "free
 form" and when I put my monitor info in, I get errors relating to monitor
 selection on restart.  When I installed Mandrake, I was give a list to
 choose from, but in xf86config, I get no list...thus the info I put in is
 aparently invalid. How do I use xf86config just to change one thing, or
 can't I?  What info do I use for the monitor (I can't remember the list
 verbatim)?  Can I use "CUSTOM"?
 
 I also have a problem with the modem, which I believe is a winmodem as it is
 somehow tied to the sound card (probably for voice functions).  If I disable
 the onboard sound, I loose the modem too.  So I have picked up a Zoom V.90
 modem also.  I hope that once I put the ESS sound and Zoom modem in, I'll be
 full functional.
 
 Thanks,

Re: [newbie] Office Suites

1999-10-21 Thread Ernest N. Wilcox Jr.

Yup! My cable company has done the upgrade. The TV looks great, and
that's why they promise the 512kbps connection. They sell me a NIC card
for about $150.00, including the install and setup, then $40.00 / month
for the access fee. I guess that's not too bad. The reason I'm holding
off is to be sure that they have all the little gremlins out of their
system so I don't get bit. Also, I want to upgrade my 'puter - it's a
486 style AMD X5-133 5x86 on a 486a VIP mainboard. I think it's one of
those boards we keep getting told will give us problems (from Korea or
some such place), but it was all I could afford when I put this thing
together. I was luckey though, It has worked great for me. The only
problem I have is that all the Mandrake updates are "for a diferent
architecture" (hope I spelled that right). I think that's because
they're built for pentium systems or later, and this one definitely
ain't one 'o those.

 It's not like this is all that new of a problem (pgcc produceing flaky

So if it's broken, why ship it?  If it's got KNOWN ISSUES, why put your

And I'd find egcs WHERE on the CD?  Is this sinking in yet?
 
 use pgcc if you don't care if the parallel ports work (could be other
 problems also i quit testing at that point)
 
 use gcc if your useing kernel-source from cooker, and want the fastest
 posible code 

I've got the retail Mandrake, as I previously stated.
 
   Seems it will happen only on a clean install
   also doesn't seem the gcc check was ever applyed to the cooker .spec
  
  Considering that Mandrake has been pretty vocal about "install don't
  upgrade", one would expect that someone at Mandrake had actually tried USING
  the resulting system.
 
 I was useing it 18 hours a day for several weeks, i still (personaly)
 stand by "just cause it works here, doesn't mean it will there"

Apparently you never tried to compile a kernel with the installed system! 
Or a myriad of other things, because I'm tripping over problems every day.
  
  It's time for Mandrake to realize that those of us who buy our distributions
  expect a bit more than we would if it were handed to us free.  We expect
  that our money will ensure that things are tested, packaged, and ready to use. 
  If that is an unreasonable thing for me to expect from Mandrake, I'll gladly
  take my money elsewhere.
  
  I'd like to point out that up untill not all that long ago there were but
 a handfull of us. (some volunteers even)

So extend the Beta testing periods on this stuff.  If I recall correctly,
6.1 was an announced ONE WEEK beta period.  Sure, it went to three weeks,
but there are STILL bugs in this thing.  Big ones.  Hairy, nasty, venomous
ones.  Bugs that SHOULD NOT be happening.  If it's broke, slip on the ship
date and fix them.

And volunteers or not, have some pride in your work.  Do you and the other
Mandrakers like coming to work every morning knowing that someone else will
be filing bug reports against all your hard work?  I know it would bum me
out...
 
 Steve,
   If you expected no bumps when we went from Redhat(c)+, to Redhat(c)
 compatible, I really don't know what to tell you. It is going to be bumpy,
 but no one will get bruised, promise..

I've been here since 5.3, using every release in between.  6.1 is the
absolute most broken distribution I've ever laid hands on.  You've got a
smart group of people there, but you're spending time developing new things
while your distribution rots.  These bug reports should serve as a warning
to all the people there that they will be held accountable for it.  How
about taking a break from all of the "extras" and get back to making sure
the base distribution is solid?

I think both of you have reasonable points. What is changing is that
MandrakeSoft is now moving from business childhood to business
adulthood. In the past it was a group of dedicated, enthusiastic
people with a vision. And from the 5.2 version on you were targeting
an audience much the same.

Certainly there was a hope that there would be financial reward if
you pulled it off, but it was a big gamble.

Now, however, you've really started to get a lot of notice and well
deserved attention, but you really are moving into bigger business
world. And the Mandrake business model has got to change with it.
Unfortunately, the new model you must have is exactly the same one
where a few other competitors are already very good. People with
names like Bill Gates and Scott McNealy and Larry Ellison. They
may like and admire you just fine, but they'll eat you for lunch if
you don't pay attention to the customer.

As for Steve's point about cooker, look at the fact that MS has
delayed Windows NT 5.0/Windows 2000 repeatedly. To make
a real dent in the corporate world the stuff MUST work out of the box.
Absolutely no excuses.

Frankly, if this hiccup is the only one Mandrake ever has you'll
rule the world. But for now, stop,check out where your revenue
comes from, and make your major revenue providers happy.

Thanks,

 I have a Diamond Viper V770 TNT 2 video card that I successfully installed
 the drivers for, which I am very proud of, since it was my first mod of
 linux.  However, now that I have 1280x1024x32bpp resolution in X, I don't
 have a mouse that is working properly.  What it is doing is as you move
the
 mouse around, it is getting button press signals all over the place and
 popping all over the upper-left corner of the screen.

 I have played around with the settings in XF86Config to point the mouse
 device as /dev/mouse and /dev/psaux.  I have also used the "Intellimouse"
 and "PS/2" mouse types.

 What is interesting about this problem is that when I had a more typical
 video card and the install figured out exactly what to set, the mouse
 worked great in X.

 Could it be an interrupt conflict?

 Has anyone else seen this problem...?

like any other program and it starts up and boots, just like a computer,
except it runs whatever OS, you set it up to run.  It is like another

for it after the licese expires.  Go to www.vmware.com, they have more

Re: [newbie] Bash and Aliases problem

1999-10-21 Thread John May

When I make aliases, I put them into the /etc/bashrc file, so that no
matter who I login as, I always have them.  Here is how I formatted my
aliases:

alias ls="ls -Fa --color"

This would alias the "ls" command to show all dot files in color.  Othere
commands should be similar such as:

alias rm="rm -rf"

This would alias the "rm" command to not ask for permission to delete and
do it recursively (including subdirs, maybe a bad thing).

Use kfm but point it at your Win98 partition.  You can have your
computer automatically mount the partiion in your fstab but you have to
have the vfat module compiled into your kernel. (this is usually
automatic upon install)  I've steup an icon on my KDE desktop like this
before but that was awhile back and a different distribution.  I have
since not bothered with it.

Hope this helps.

Hi,
  I'm new in the list.
  I had Red Hat 6.0 , and I have installed Mandrake 6.1, from that I never

Mandrake I had not problems about that).
  I wonder if some of you has had the same problem and if someone know how
to solve it.
  thanks.

pd: obviously I have installed the QT library, and tried exporting the
enviroment variable
  LD_LIBRARY_PATH, with QT's path, but when I run ./configure, it appears a
message indicating that it could not find the QT.

It's currently supported by X. Don't know why it's not working in

Re: [newbie] Icon

Juliansure it's possible and not much work at all.  Here's how:

1. create a mount point directory (mine is /mnt/c-drive).
2. add a line to your /etc/fstab file like this one:

 /dev/hda1/mnt/c-drive vfatnoauto,user 0 0

3. right click the KDE desktop and choose new/file system device.
4. name it something appropriate (mine is c-drive.kdelnk).
5. click the device tab and choose the two icons you'd like.
6. fill in the device info with your win95 partition. (hda1)
7. fill in the mount point info (/mnt/c-drive).

That's all,

Alan

 to VGA16...so I end up reinstalling Linux each time.  The ATI card 
 works
 well except I can't figure out how to change resolution.  I'm 
 currently at
 1024x768x16bit.  Do I use xf86config?  Whenever I run this program I 
 seen to
 get problems as a result.  This program asks for monitor information 
 "free

 monitor
 selection on restart.  When I installed Mandrake, I was give a list 
 to
 choose from, but in xf86config, I get no list...thus the info I put 
 in is
 aparently invalid. How do I use xf86config just to change one thing, 
 or
 can't I?  What info do I use for the monitor (I can't remember the 
 list
 verbatim)?  Can I use "CUSTOM"?
 
 I also have a problem with the modem, which I believe is a winmodem 
 as it is
 somehow tied to the sound card (probably for voice functions).  If I 
 disable
 the onboard sound, I loose the modem too.  So I have picked up a 
 Zoom V.90
 modem also.  I hope that once I put the ESS sound and Zoom modem in, 
 I'll be
 full functional.
 
 Thanks,
 Tony Z.
 

As far as the SiS. Mine is running fine. I had to upgrade to the 3.3.5 of
XF86Config and had to get it to show the card and load up the extra
commands it needed then ran the XVidTune and straightened up the display
and now it works. if you feel like fighting with it I can walk ya through
it. But since you got the other video card its totaly up to you.

Re: [newbie] MS Intellimouse, X Windows, and problems...

I found the solution to this problem from a message I saw on 
DejaNews.  Someone mentioned that there is a 'mouseconfig' program that 
will configure just the mouse.  When I ran it, it looked just like the part 
of the linux-mandrake install that asked about the mouse.  I selected the 
appropriate mouse and pressed ok, and presto!  It worked.  It filled in 
info that was close to what was said below.  the device was "/dev/psaux" 
and I don't remember any ZAxisMapping, but I could be wrong there.  I don't 
have my ethernet card set up over there yet, so I have to use Windows to 
send e-mail.

  have a mouse that is working properly.  What it is doing is as you move
the
  mouse around, it is getting button press signals all over the place and
  popping all over the upper-left corner of the screen.
 
  I have played around with the settings in XF86Config to point the mouse
  device as /dev/mouse and /dev/psaux.  I have also used the "Intellimouse"
  and "PS/2" mouse types.
 
  What is interesting about this problem is that when I had a more typical

Re: [newbie] Intel 740AGP video

1999-10-21 Thread Ben

I'm using the Real3d version here. The X server that ships with 6.1 supports
various models, and also has a generic i740 pci / agp if your exact model is
not listed.  I had it working in 5.3, 6.0 as well.

 Has anyone gotten this chip to work on Linux-Mandrak 6.0? , or 6.1?

 I recently finally got a friend who is an "Instructor" for classes for
 the "Darkside" and NT to try out Linux and his first snag was the
 "oft-present" video-X not working after install.

 I don't have many details right now as I just got a "help" message from
 him.

 Help me convert this "unbeliever" :-)

Re: [newbie] SB AWE64 install

1999-10-21 Thread Benjamin Sher

Dear Warren:

In xterm, type as root:

sndconfig


This will take you through the sound installation. I have the same card:
AWE64. It is automatically recognized by Mandrake. If not, select it
manually.

Then you will hear two samples: a voice sample featuring Linus Torvalds
speaking and a midi music piece. The quality of the samples is poor.
Don't worry about it. Your SWE64 will perform magnificent in RealPlayer
and everywhere.

Afer you hear the samples (just click on OK), the configuration screen
will disappear. That't it. The info will be automatically added to your
etc/conf.modules file.

That's it.

Enjoy!

Benjamin

[newbie] Essential sys admin tool for us newbies

1999-10-21 Thread Aaron deRozario

Probably old news to a lot of you, however I came across the following
site...

http://www.cs.unm.edu/~dlchao/flake/doom/

It seems to me a Doom (or even better Quake2) user-interface is what a
cutting-edge Linux distribution needs.  I for one think that Mandrake should
have a Doom interface for process management and even as a file manager.

A 3d interactive desktop, computer navigation as fun as Quake 2, I tell you
my Windows mates will be Linux converts faster than you could say Mandrake!

[newbie] [sphilp: BUG: 6.1 -- portmap]

I'm not sure this posted through to the list last night.  My apologies if
they did.

Continuing the bug parade...

I was cleaning up my system tonight, removing unnecessary packages.  I
removed the portmap package, but noticed that it showed up again in the
output of 'rpm -qa'.  

Here's a transcript of the activity:

Script started on Wed Oct 20 21:37:50 1999
[root@tippy /root]# rpm -qa | grep portmap
portmap-4.0-6mdk
[root@tippy /root]# rpm -e portmap
error reading information on service portmap: No such file or directory
execution of script failed
error reading information on service portmap: No such file or directory

[root@tippy /root]# rpm -qa | grep portmap

[root@tippy /root]# rpm -Uvh /mnt/cdrom/Mandrake/RPMS/portmap-4.0-6mdk.i586.rpm  
[root@tippy /root]# rpm -Uvh /mnt/cdrom/Mandrake/RPMS/portmap-4.0-6mdk.i586.rpm
package portmap-4.0-6mdk is already installed
[root@tippy /root]# exit

Why doesn't the portmap package remove itself from the installed packages
database?
