Re: [newbie] help -error with KDE install
I think that to solve your dependencies problems, you should simply install mandrake_desk and Mesa from your mandrake cdrom. If you encounter this kind of problem again, try to mount your Mandrake cdrom and run something like : for i in /mnt/cdrom/Mandrake/RPM/*.rpm ; do rpm -qpl $i |grep Mandrake_desk echo $i done And you'll get a list of the packages that install files that contain 'Mandrake_desk' in their name. You can optimise the command to check only packages that are not already installed in your system, but that's a detail... more info : man rpm and man bash John Bishop wrote : I believe that I missed the boat somewhere.

Re: [newbie] Problem Installing 6.0
This is maybe a problem with the 8GB limit. Try to create the / partition within the first 8 GB of the hd. The problem is that you should repartition your windows partition. Or Maybe you can try to resize it with the installation program of the mandrake 7.0, but I think you should make a backup of your windows partition before trying that... good luck. Hope it'll help.

Re: [newbie] Mandrake 6.0
at this point, typing "startx" without the quotes shold get you in windows, if that fails, type "xf86config" and setup your x information. Remember, you're in Unix now, things are case sensitive. ALSO, you can type "startx -- -bpp 16" to load in 16 bit more or you can also do 24 and 32 bits. jason === --- Jason M.

[newbie] Text Mode and an error
Hi, I'm brand new to Linux, and have just recently installed Mandrake Linux version
7.0... a friend of mine had helped me install it, and then just left me here to figure
out what he's done... mostly, it's pretty cool with the exception of two things...
In text mode, my fonts are real small. In searching around I found a reference that
said to include in the lilo.conf file a line stating vga=normal or vga=ask... when I
try this, I still get the real small text... I had thought the ask option would
display the different modes and allow me to choose, but it never asks, it's always
real small...
and secondly, upon bootup, I get an error stating:
hda: status timeout: status=0xd0 { Busy }
hda: no DRQ after issuing WRITE
ide0: unexpected interrupt, status=0x80, count=2
ide0: reset: success
and then it sits there until I hit Ctrl-C... after hitting Ctrl-C I can still operate
the system...
Anyone know what I should do to resolve either of these? I'm on an Dell Celeron 686
with a TSeng ET6000 video card...

[newbie] CAN'T MOUNT FLOPPY
Hello List, I am using LM7.0b(Oxygen) which until yesterday was running well pending receipt of LM7.0(Air). Then I tried to recompile the kernel which succeeded apart from Kppp(since fixed) and mounting of floppies. I have a problem which has previously been posted but following the thread in the archives sheds no light on the solution. When recompiling I elected to retain Supermount which had been working well. Now, it works with cds but not with floppies. When I click on the desktop floppy icon the KFM screen opens followed shortly by a KFM Error ! Could not list directory contents file: /mnt/floppy/ . My /etc/fstab reads: /mnt/floppy /mnt/floppy supermount fs=vfat,dev=/dev/fd0 0 0 The cdrom entry is identical, apart from the filesystem. I have tried using auto, autofs and ext2 in the floppy entry, without success. If I try to open the /mnt directory in KFM the screen freezes, requiring CTL-ALT-BKSPC to unfreeze. If I use FileRunner(fr), the mount directory opens showing the following: ./ 1024(filesize) ../ 1024 DOS_hda1/ 8192 DOS_hda5/ 4096 cdrom 0(then after first use 2048) disk/ 1024 floppy/ 0 If I attempt to open a floppy in fr I get a screen: Error in path /mnt/floppy ! Error: Couldn't change working directory to "mnt/floppy": I/O error Please edit new path or cancel. If you want to create it, press Create. Pressing create or OK has no effect and the warning screen persists until Cancel is pressed. Unfortunately, this problem has affected the old kernel as well, so I am completely unable to mount floppies. My son recompiled his kernel on his laptop at the same time and has the same problem. Can anyone tell me how to fix this problem while retaining the use of Supermount or, alternatively, how to get rid of supermount without recompiling if possible. Thanks. -- Dennis Robertson 2/2 Sylvia Street NOOSAVILLE QLD 4566 AUSTRALIA Phone: 61 7 54742343 Mobile: 0419 535539 Fax: Phone first for setup.

After the 'Intializing CD-ROM...' message it gave me: 'mount failed. Invalid argument; and then 'Error mounting ramdisk. This shouldn't happen.

Ray, to the best of my knowledge the cable providers assign ip's etc.. via dhcp my setup looks like this (in /etc/sysconfig/network-scripts/ifcfg-eth0) DEVICE=eth0 BOOTPROTO=dhcp IPADDR="" NETMASK="" BROADCAST=255 ONBOOT=yes you will need to keep your resolv.conf inorder for the dhpc to work. once eth0 is started (ifup eth0 (during boot, or manualy)) dhcp will be called and will negotiate your networking info with your cable provider.

I also use a cable modem, with 2 NIC's installed. For my setup, I inputted all the info for my cable account, and voila it works. I am NOT using DHCP (--I think that is correct). This may or may not be your problem. Either start DHCP or stop using it, whatever your setup is now. Maybe also check over your ISP info in "linuxconfig" w/o quotes from a console, in the network area, and make sure your info is correct.

[newbie] Text Mode and an error

7.0... a friend of mine had helped me install it, and then just left me here to figure
out what he's done... mostly, it's pretty cool with the exception of two things...
In text mode, my fonts are real small. In searching around I found a reference that
said to include in the lilo.conf file a line stating vga=normal or vga=ask... when I
try this, I still get the real small text... I had thought the ask option would
display the different modes and allow me to choose, but it never asks, it's always
real small...
and secondly, upon bootup, I get an error stating:
hda: status timeout: status=0xd0 { Busy }
hda: no DRQ after issuing WRITE
ide0: unexpected interrupt, status=0x80, count=2
ide0: reset: success
and then it sits there until I hit Ctrl-C... after hitting Ctrl-C I can still operate
the system...
Anyone know what I should do to resolve either of these? I'm on an Dell Celeron 686

JAMIL HUSSAIN wrote: i know i need my ISP DNS etc?? where do i get them from and where do i put them in mandrake Hi Jamil, very often the dns Adresses are mentioned in the faq-section for ISP - customers. So you would need to have a working system to read it. (winblows.:-). Fortunatly, there is a way, to get things running without using M$ Software,by using a M$-compatible feature of pppd :-). If you use kppp (which is the the best for beginners): In kppp setup, edit the pppd options for your provider. Add "usepeerdns" (without the quotes). Dial in with kppp. Quit the connection,when pppd is up and running. You should find the dns adresses in /etc//resolv.conf Enter these adresses in kppp setup. Be sure,the file /etc/resolv.conf exists and has permissions rw- r-- r--. (This isn't a typo /etc/ppp/resolv.conf and /etc/resolv.conf are different files) Initially /etc/resolv.conf may be empty. kppp will write the dns adresses to it,and applications will read them from there. If you dont use kppp, refer to http://www.mandrakeuser.org. You would need winblows then to get online and to download it ... :-).

Re: [newbie] Hello!!!

How can I install "tar" files? I'm trying to install Gnome Chess,which contains a file called "gnome -chess-0.2.2.tar" A "tar" file is a file that is made from multiple files and is "balled" together to make it easier to distribute. You must use the tar utility to "un-ball" this file into its original files. i.e. tar xfv [filename] should do the trick. If you see a file with the extension tar.gz or tar.Z then not only is the file balled together but it is compressed. In this case tar xfzv [filename] will decompress the file and "un-ball" it. After doing this you will probably be left with the source code for the Gnome Chess. I'm not sure. I haven't looked. If you are, then look for instructions in a readme file. Usually the procedure is to change into the directory created and issue a ./configure and if that goes ok then issue a make and then a make install. However, read the instructions because this may vary. Regards

[newbie] both modem and LAN networking?
At setup of Mandrake 7 it asks if we want dial-up-modem networking **or** LAN networking. What if we want both? Which should I choose?

In fact, I'd like to make the Mandrake 7 computer do IP forwarding / Masquerading to be the only computer in the office that dials in to our local ISP - with the 4 Windows computers using it for internet access. So - that being said - can someone please please tell me which options to choose at Mandrake 7 setup?? (I tried LAN only, and it won't connect to our ISP.
