[newbie] Windows and Linux networking

[sdos]

Hello, I have isdn, and can connect with my Linux machine, I want to use my
Linux bow as a gateway/firewall/file server. Can anyone give me an idea on
how to do this. I know almost everything about windows networking, but I'm
new to connecting Unix/Linux and windows and new to using Linux as a gateway
through isdn. the 2 are linked up via ether, and I have connectivity.

Linux system specs:
external 3com isdn TA
10mbps network card
mandrake 7
all packages install (I think)

Win sys:
3com 905b 10/100
win98se and win2k pro retail

Thanks in advance,

Re: [newbie] Modem jumper settings

[Steve Leseman]

Hi - I followed your instructions for getting Plug & Play to work for my 
PnP USR modem, and everything went as you laidout, until I rebooted. In red 
text, it roughly said, "don't know what to do with start dependent 
functions no action taken can't parse isapnp.conf... around line 64 
or priority acceptable". It was only on the screen for a brief amount of 
time so I might not have it typed out exactly right, but it's close. Here's 
what the section of the isapnp.conf file I modified looks like:

start dependent functions: priority acceptable
# logical device decodes 16 bit io address lines
minimum io base address 0x03e8
maximum io base address 0x03e8
# io base alignment 8 bytes
number of io addresses required: 8
(io (size 8) (base 0x03e8))
# IRQ 2, 3, 4, 5, 7, 10, 11, 12, or 15.
IRQ 2
high true, edge sensitive interrupt (by default)
(int 0 (IRQ 2 (mode + E)))

and the line I added to the end of the rc.local file reads:

setserial dev/ttyS2 port 0x3e8 irq 2 spd_vhi autoconfig

I really appreciate any further help! I've been trying to get it working 
for over 2 hours tonight alone! The strange thing about it though, is that 
before my computer was upgraded the same modem worked fine in the same 
version of Mandrake (6.0). But the shop installed it back in a different 
slot, and now it is on COM 3 (it was COM 2 before). Thanks!!!

[newbie] Toshiba Configuration Problems (3 different things!!)

[Dave Felice]

I just put Mandrake 7.0 on a Toshiba Satellite 205CDS laptop and was 
wondering how to configure a few things:

1) last year I had RedHat 5.2 on this machine and found configuration 
parameters to get the system to allow an 800x600 display instead of 640x480. 
I went into XF86Config and put everything as I had before and after 
rebooting I can't get back into X Win because it doesn't seem to like its 
new configureation.

2) Has anyone successfully gotten a SyQuest Spar-Q drive to run through the 
parallel port with Mandrake? I have seen a little bit online about PARIDE, 
but so far havn't seen enough...my main HD is only 774MB so getting an ectra 
gig with Spar-Q would be nice.

3) I opened up "CD Player", popped in a CD, hit play, heard it spin, watched 
the seconds go by and got NO sound and a message about it not being able to 
find CDDB something or rather...any ideas??? I do get system beeps but 
haven't heard anything else so far...

So if anyone can help with any of these problems, I would appreciate it.

Thanx in advance

[jean seberg]

linux users,

i recently(couple weeks ago) installed linux on my 3gig pc along side win95. 
everything was going good, but tonight i had a problem starting linux.  (i
have bootmagic to switch the oses) the problem:

right after linconfig, before the x window loads...the screen starts flashing
on and off.  i could not see any message or error due to the flashing, so i
don't know what's wrong with it...
i just proceeded with control, alt, delete to bootout.

i know it could be anything, but where and how can i find out the error(s)?
i haven't done anything differently this time except that i unplug a zip drive
this morning(that's not a probable cause right?)

thanks,
lost and confused

After turning on scsi emulation, your cdr will appear as a scsi device so 
you need to mount it as such. I use /dev/sr0

Re: Fw: [newbie] Fw: CDRproblems

[Richard Yevchak]

Try "cdrecord -scanbus" as root.  If that shows a burner attachted, edit
/etc/fstab and see where the line for your CD-R is trying to mount the device
from.  It should probably be changed to /dev/scd0.  If you've got 7.0 just try
to change the line dev=blah to "dev=/dev/scd0".

RE: [newbie] mandrake admintool ?

[Paulus Hendarwan]

Hi, 
Oliver,
 
- For 
installing bootloader, network (change hostname, IP address, etc), you can use 
Linuxconf, type : linuxconf at command prompt
- For 
installing software, you can use kpackage (software that packaged with RPM 
format), type : kpackage at prompt.
- For 
installing hardware, maybe you can use isapnptools or if you use Mandrake 7.0 
use DrakConf.
 
May it 
helps.

support CD-Rom boot...so I made a boot.img floppy and tried.  It failed on the
CD-Rom mount to install MDK 6.0...and therefore I can't install...:(
The CD's supported are CDU31, and CDU5X, also Creative/Panasonic, but NONE of
the choices work...I tried AUTOPROBE on all.
Does anyone have some newbieized info for me?

Hello Brent,
Look at your /etc/fstab
For my setup, I added the line:
/dev/hda4 /nt40 ntfs defaults 0 0

then I added the directory "nt40"  to my "/" partition

There is proably a cmd to make all this work. However I had to do a
reboot  and it was up.

I must admit to a few dumbfounded hours spent staring at the "man
fstab"  to try to figure it out. Hopefully you're a quicker study.

Re: How about Roadrunner? Re: [newbie] Nic problem

[Wendell E. Gragg]

When I installed Mandrake, I just set up the nic for dhcp and did not have
to worry about the DNS. Apparently, that is done dynamically by RR.  Oh, I
did have to set the gateway.  I got that from winipcfg in windows.

Now the question is whether or not RR in your area is set up the same way.
Also, if they require a log in, then you will have to locate some scripts to
do this.  RR here stopped using the login just before I installed Linux.

Hope this helps,
Wendell

Re: [newbie] core files absent???

[Christian Geisler]

Try the following: In a xterm type 
'ulimit -c unlimited' (without quotes)
now a dying program should produce those core files.
there seems to be a restriction set for the maximum size of
core files a program can produce. with that line above, you
can change this. 
ulimit is a bash-built-in command. You find more in
the manpage for bash
i had the same problem and this had done the trick

Re: How about Roadrunner? Re: [newbie] Nic problem

[Vic]

Cool so when they give you your netmasks and all that
where all in linuxconfig's network setup thingy
do you type where?

I'm wondering if the ISP gives the DNS numbers
the same name as what they are listed in
the network configger, or if its similar to
dialup or closer to like setting up a straight
network thingy like a lan connection to the 
internet?

Sorry this is the first time I have ever configged
this kind of connection and I want to get it
done correctly the first time so i won't be cut
off after switching ISP's.

Thankx

[newbie] NTFS in Linux

[Brent Timmer]

Anybody know if there is a way to see my ntfs partitions in linux?

Re: [newbie] CD-rom

[Brent Timmer]

Here's a message I got from someone 
else.
 
 

 
First become root and edit the /etc/lilo.conf and 
add append="hdd=ide-scsi" to it. Here is mine: 
 
/etc/lilo.config
 
boot=/dev/hda6map=/boot/mapinstall=/boot/boot.bprompttimeout=50append="hdd=ide-scsi"image=/boot/vmlinuz-2.2.9-19mdksmp label=linux root=/dev/hda11 initrd=/boot/initrd-2.2.9-19mdksmp.img read-onlyimage=/boot/vmlinuz-2.2.9-19mdk label=linux-up root=/dev/hda11 initrd=/boot/initrd-2.2.9-19mdk.img read-onlyother=/dev/hda1 label=dos table=/dev/hda
 
 
 
You then need to run lilo to update the boot files: 

 
 
 
lilo
 

 
Then, add the following lines at the end of your 
/etc/rc.d/rc.local: 
 
/etc/rc.d/rc.local
 
  /sbin/modprobe 
ide-scsi  /sbin/modprobe sg
 
 
 
This will configure your CD-RW to emulate a SCSI 
device. 
 
 
 
optional
 
I had an error message about block-major-11 so I 
added this change: 
 
/etc/config.modulesalias scsi_hostadapter0 
ide-scsialias scsi_hostadapter1 advansysalias parport_lowlevel 
parport_pcpre-install pcmcia_core /etc/rc.d/init.d/pcmcia startalias 
sound es1370alias block-major-11 ide-scsi
 
Note that I have a real SCSI card installed for a 
Jaz drive and I had to change the alias for the Advansys SCSI card and add one 
for the IDE. 
 
 
 

 
The last step is to link /dev/cdrom to your CD-RW. 
Only do this if you want your CD-R to be your CD-ROM device and it isn't 
currently your CD-ROM device. 
 
 ln -s /dev/scd0 /dev/cdrom
 
Reboot! 
 

 
To make sure everything works. As root type: 

 
 cdrecord -scanbus
 
My results were: Cdrecord release 1.8a22 
Copyright (C) 1995-1999 Jörg Schillingscsibus0:    0)

You can probably pull 'em off the mandrake ftp site and install 'em

I think it is because it is a FAT partition, permissions do not work.
Instead , you have to edit /etc/fstab and specify the general
permissions.

Don't knowt the details, try man mount for info.

Re: [newbie] irq's

[steve . flynn]

You don't have a directory /proc ?

If not, try

dmesg > ~/startlog
vi ~/statrlog   (use your fav editor instead of vi if you like)

Does it list the IRQ settings in there?

In case you are wondering, dmesg allows you to view all of the messages
produced during IPL (boot-time). It's the stuff that flies up your screen
as Linux is starting up. All you've done is redirect the output of it to a
file in your home directory and then view it. I /think/ IRQ settings are
displayed at boot time, but I'm not 100% sure.

This is a mount option for fat/vfat. You have to change it in /etc/fstab.

Re: [newbie] irq's

[David van Balen]

Did you type 'cat /proc/interrupts' or 'cat proc/interrupts'?

This is a common mistake for people new to unix. The first will look in
the 'proc' directory located in the root dir while the second will try to
find a 'proc' directory in the current directory and result in a "no such
dir/file" error.

supermount is rather new, and it still has bugs. If it does not work
reliably for you, type "supermount disable" and mount the cdrom the old
way. Whish you more luck in M 7.1 .

 Other people have ROOT access to your machine? Then it could be
just anything. 

You can try checking the consistency of your rpm-packages
with "rpm -Va" (see the rpm man page), or you could try "updating" your
distribution with the same CD you previously used for instaling it... 

But, basically if someone else has a root access you will see similar
problems over-and-over-again.

Does xcdroast change the nice value of cdreocrd automagically, or does

Re: [newbie] xcdroast

[steve . flynn]

I'd never considered that root user would have a diferent nice level to
normal users. I've no idea why as the OS I used to use (VME) has a special
ID you can login to when the machine is so heavily stuffed that normal
users are hanging. Effectively running right up there with the kernel.

Saying that, if the suid bit is set and the process picks up the
permissions of root, will it not also pick up the niceness of root also?

Shoot me if I'm talking drivel here

RE: [newbie] unsubscribe newbie.

[steve . flynn]

If the list server is not honouring unsubscribe commands, then we need to
inform mandrake and get them to check out the logs.

You are sending the email to unsubscribe from the same address you
subscribed to are you!

Failing that, go to

http://www.linux-mandrake.com/en/flists.php3

and unsubscribe from there. Although I find it hard to believe that the
server is not honouring unsub commands, it's not beyond the realms of
possibility.

I personally don't have a problem 'barrack room language' with it but I

The only reason I posted the message to the list in the first place was
because the gentleman has obviously ignored the two personal emails I sent
him yesterday, and posted to the list once more. Maybe this is the only
place he's reading (or not as the case may be). Either way, I was merely
attempting to emphasise, to him, that I'd already told him twice how to get

I was slightly offended by his ignoring my two private emails - it's like

Let me know what you think.  Actually the only "user input" required is to
click on the little applet on the panel when you hear there's mail; or you can
wait til ya feel like it, no problemo!  KMail doesn't even have to be open.

Re: [newbie] unsubscribe newbie.

[bluebottle]

Whilst I agree that people's inabitity to "unsubscribe" can be frustrating I
fail to see the need for the 'f' word in group email. By all means tell the
chap what you think IN PRIVATE. All you do is let yourself down.

That sounds like a pretty good idea - but makes getting my mail require
user input.  And I get a LOT of mail :-\  I've never tried kbiff - might
try it just for the heck of it to see how it works.

I should perhaps have explained the significance of the email address--I
am 72 years old which might explain some of the oldfarts peccadilloes, have
been playing with computers since the first of Sinclairs efforts and perhaps
might now qualify as oldest Linux student on the block as the Americans say.

[newbie] Permissions to /mnt

[steve . flynn]

Someone else on the list is attempting to dothe same thing as myself.

Basically, root has the ability to write files back to my DOS partitions,
whereas 'steve', my normal user does not.

This is very incovenient as it means I have to run my distributed.net
client under root to allow it to write back to the buff-out file (located
in /mnt/D/Utilities/distributed.net/).

I'd like to do two things:

Give 'steve' permission to write to this drectory. My attempts at chmod'ing
permisions to rwxrwxrwx as root have failed - no change in permissions.

Run dnetc (the distributed.net client) from the user 'steve' and have it
run with root permisssions. I've chown'd it to root, I've performed a
'chmod +s dnetc' and I've changed the owner of the directory it live in to
root. No joy - it still runs with 'steve' permissions. The only way I can
get it to run with root's permissions is to su to root and then fire it up.

I'm missing something obvious out, and I can't for the life of me, see it!

Re: [newbie] Can anyone recommend a good email program?

[steve . flynn]

Eh! Nah! Lovely programs.

Actually, I say this never having used ELM or PINE on my installation. I've
used them both before under other flavours but never under Mandrake. Saying
that,
I used to use ELM as my email package on my Amiga 3000 alongside TIN for
news. Being connected via a modem in the UK meant I was offline 99 percent
of the time. I found them to both work beautifully. I fact, I used to use
TIN to gate newsgroups from Usenet across in Fidonet. Worked beautifully.

Not the most friendly of packages, I'll freely admit, nor are either of
them 'pretty' (well, they weren't when I was using them about 3 years ago!)

I do appreciate the nicities of a GIU interface though - using Win98 for
the last two years as made me lazy.

"What? You mean I can't just click on install? I have to compile it first
and then install it by hand? modprobe? WTF is that? Why doesn't it just
work" :)

Give KMail a try.  Doesn't do html though.  Does allow multiple POP3

Afraid not - I've always used ELM on *nix boxen and I like it.

I've not used /any/ mail packages under Mandrake, as I've currently only

the development kernel which supports WinModems I'm only connecting to the

Re: [newbie] Unsubscribe

Sigh..

Seriously, this is a great list - very helpful. I've only been subscribed
for a few days and was suprised at the signal to noise ratio. However, and
it seems to be the same on many lists, many people throw away the
introdutory message they get when the subscribe. I don't know if the
problem of unsub requests to the list has gotten worse then usual recently,
but I've been mailing people privately for the last two days sending them
the unsub reqs. We'll see if it dies down.


The one thing I can't understad is that this is a really easy list to get

subscribe and that's it. Now, if people can find the subscribe button
easily enough why can't they find the unsubscribe button right beside it!

Sheesh! :)


I fell better after my rant though - it's getting funny now! :)


Now, if I could persuade my usual login id to have write access my mounted
DOS partitions like the other guy on the list trying to do the same
thing

Actually, I'll go and post a question on my predicament.

Re: [newbie] random 'find' process

[steve . flynn]

The cron daemon.

man cron
man at
man atq
man anacron

Have a look at your crontab file - it controls what starts up, how often
and at what time. It's a scheduler running constantly. In your case, it may
have been cleaning your /tmp directry, rebuilding your RPM database or
several other things.

For example, ever month, on the 1st day, at 0300 hours, my machine goes
through the entire machine, moving any files which end in ~ (normally
backup files from kedit) into a backup directory. On the 14th of the month,
it empies this backup directory. Cron controls the running of these
scripts. It's really very useful

Subject:  [newbie] random 'find' process





I have noticed that my computer will often go into periods of furious disk
access at very odd hours so, last time it happened, I decided to take a
look and see what was going on (I also wanted to get to sleep).
My search turned up a find process running as root for no apparent reason
at all so I proceeded to shut down all applications that were running and
kill it, after which the disk activity stopped. Any idea what may have
spawned the find process?
I was running, as far as I can remember, the following:

-Netscape
-a couple Konsoles
-LICQ
-Grip (the cd player)
-xmms

None of them should've been doing anything special (i.e. downloading,
playing music, etc.)

I used to HATE that.
Here's what I did:
I don't let kmail check for my mail.  I use kbiff.
It does the checking.  You can set it NOT to give you any visual notices (that
little box is as annoying as kmail's), but to play a sound (I use the gong
from StarOffice).  When I hear the gong, I click on the little applet on the
panel that kbiff sets up and it automagically launches or wakes kmail to
download the mail.  It's great!!  It never gets in the way, just conveniently
tells me when mail arrives on my server and lets me decide when to use kmail
to actually fetch it.  Give it a try.
HTH,
Mike
