Hi all I have mandrake 6.0 distribution. I have compiled my 2.2.13 kernel using 486 option with success. Today I have recompiled again to add some amateur radio modules and remove other modules and things I do not use. Now it stops when booting. I have used the following commands: make menuconfig make dep make clean make zImage ( some times I needed bzImage) make modules make modules_install make install When booting the machine, all is ok, but it stops on " finding module dependencies" I press CTRL - C and it continnues, but after a while it says something like :" kernel does not suppot vfat" Starting continnues and it finishes normally. How can I fix this problem? I have recompiled the kernel several times with same problem and I am bored, compilling kernel and modules takes about 3 hours in my old 486. Thanks in advance.

[newbie] re: updates to 7.0
Hi, I am seeing files getting wiped out on a FAT32 disk when booting between mandrake 7.0 and W98. I upgraded to the 1st image 7.0 from a purchased copy of 6.1, so I think after reading the update section at mandrake.com that I have the bug they mentionthere's no detail though so can't be sure However, I look on all the mirrors, and only see image files, can anyone tell me what the actual RPMs are that I need to install? It'd be far nicer to list these on the homepage the way RedHat does btw...also more detail on whatever bug is alluded too. Other than that, it's my favourite dist./ Cheers Steve -- Steve Edmunds SGI [EMAIL PROTECTED] Mountain View, California 650.933.8560 Fax: 650.932.8560

Re: [newbie] KDE resolution, Generic VGA

I have an integrated motherboard, an Intel 810, which uses an Intel 810 Chipset Graphics driver. So, initially, I thought I was going to have to get a supported video card, but then I found a driver for my cheesy 810 thatll make it work at http://www.precisioninsight.com (more specifically at ftp://ftp.precisioninsight.com/pub/pi/XFCom/). So I download the readme, and with the exception of no 32bpp support (I generally use 16 anyways), it looks pretty good. So, the next step is the instructions, which are at http://support.intel.com/support/graphics/intel810/linuxinstal.htm And for me, thats where the bottom falls out. I can't make heads or tails out of it. I'm not sure if Im supposed to just install the driver RPM, or if Im supposed to do that, install something else and download and install another Xserver. If someone else is familiar with how to do this (or wouldnt mind taking a look at the instruction page), and could walk me through it, I'd be highly appreciative. Thanks! peace, Rog http://www.slammingrooves.com Just do the rpm stuff. Type in the commands as shown. Don't recompile the kernel or any of the stuff at the very end of the instructions. Intel has the rpm that goes with the instructions (just one file is all you need), so I don't know if the driver set you have will match those instructions.

[newbie] 6.1 - 7.0: No Mouse!
I just installed the Mandrake 7.0.2 I bought from Linux System Labs, and now I have no mouse in X. To explain further: I had no mouse during the install, because I have an unused PS/2 port (I use ttyS0), and both Corel Linux and Mandrake assume I'm using the PS/2. That part is OK, and I expect not to have a mouse when I boot the first time. I edit XF86Config, replacing the "PS/2" with "Microsoft" and "/dev/psaux" with "/dev/ttyS0". That works for Corel, but it didn't work for Mandrake. In my initial install of Mandrake 6.1, it asked me what kind of mouse I had, and I didn't even have to do the fiddling described above. But this second install was an update, and the install program skipped the mouse step. How can I get my mouse functioning again? Lane Lane Lester / Madison County, Georgia USA

I used to know how to do this in IIS, but Apache is just that much pickier. My computer, for all namesake, is located on the Internet at sbalmos.yi.org and as such has a dynamic IP address (that's why I'm using yi :D). I have YI set up to forward all *.sbalmos.yi.org address to sbalmos.yi.org What I need is to have sbalmos.yi.org point to my main site in /home/httpd/html, while the address magazine.sbalmos.yi.org point to /home/httpd/html/test A need for a local DNS server is not needed, as that's by YI... I've already checked Apache's logs and the full magazine.sbalmos.yi.org address is passed in the HTTP header. So... I need to figure this all out... I set up the following: VirtualHost sbalmos.yi.org ServerName sbalmos.yi.org ServerRoot /home/httpd/html /VirtualHost VirtualHost sbalmos.yi.org ServerName magazine.sbalmos.yi.org ServerRoot /home/httpd/html/test /VirtualHost If I have just the one concerning magainze.sbalmos.yi.org typed in, then all addresses (not just magazine) point to that directory.

[newbie] DrakConf
Good Morning, My question though is simple but puzzles me the newbie. On my root Desktop, I do not have DraakConf's icon but this icon shows under my other two users' desktop but will not respond to any command. How do I put this icon on my desktop for root? My next question is how do I go about adding only star Office to one of the other three desktop and not show the other icons? I thought it would be great for organization. I still have to download it first. Thank you all in advance. Foyah

UNTIL...I said...the heck with all this re-installing "OVER" the older version, why not do a complete FRESH install...and guess what? IT FINALLY WORKSeverything finally works the way it should...! I almost can't believe it... I suggest that if anyone has problems with this or that not working...at first... to do a COMPLETE FRESH installNOT an UPGRADE... start all over from scratch...and let it do its thing normally... after the install, you can always install anything else you may want but, let it do its own thing AT FIRST.

As for not losing any data. if you can boot the system as it is, you can always move any of your files over to one of the other partitions, or even back over onto a Windows partition if you still have any. This is one of the reasons why I have a seperate partition for /home. I can re-install the OS as often as I like and it's fairly trivial to reconfigure stuff. I'm afraid that a full re-install will tash anything you have under your / partition. Anyone else in here performed an upgrade to 7.0 rather than a full install. Denis (or anyone from Mandrake) - have you had any reports of the upgrade process hanging like this - I would have thought tha the installation merely copies files over the top of existing stuff, or does it do hardware detection on an upgrade as it does on a full install? I can't see why installing a particular library would cause this kind of problem though - If you can boot the system, bring it up in single user mode (rather than entering linux or whatever at the LILO BOOT: prompt, enter 'linux 1' When you get to the console prompt, try running fsck on all of your partitions to make sure they are all free from errors.

Re: [newbie] Linux won't recognize my 96 Mb of RAM...
Ahhh - the thrashing will be down to the fact you are running with Linux under Windows. I can't be of much help here, as I don't use it myself, but I suspect there will be a command you can add to whatever program you use to start your system to define how much memory you have. Linux, by default, only recognises 64 meg. To get it to recognise more, you need to tell it how much you have.

[newbie] Modules strange behaviour
I am having many module problems. It started with my sound card. /var/log/messages says "au88xx: unable to register sndstat device". The sound card works, but "cat /dev/sndstat" returns nothing. It is a modular driver put out by the manufacturer. Any ideas on why it can't register sndstat? Second I re-compiled my kernel with printer support and my NIC card compiled into the kernel vice as a module (it is modular by default in Mandrake 7.0). When I did that both of them faild to work. I then re-compiled again with them as modules and all worked fine again. Question is what is the fasination with modules in Mandrake 7.0? and why will it not allow me compile these two drivers into the kernel. 6.0 worked fine that way. I did not do an upgrade from 6.0 to 7.0. I formated and re-installed the whole thing. Thank you in advance for any help you can give me on this. John

Yes, I am also tired of "unsubscribe" messages, but There Are Better Ways To Do It (tm?). FOR DISCUSSION I am thinking of to posting a monthly (or weekly?) "recent frequently asked questions with answers" to "newbies" and "experts" list (two different letters, though), and this will certainly be a part of the letter (for newbies), so I think there is no real need for you to do it. I was also thinking about "Yet Another Mailing List", where people could post nicely formated "questions answers" found in the lists. This would help me a big deal to maintain such weekly/monthly posting (othervise I have to edit everything myself), and it COULD diminish the frequency of some WFAQ-s in the list. We could call such questions "RAQ" or "RFAQ" (R for Recent). (I NEED FEEDBACK ON THIS!) /FOR DISCUSSION If nothing else works out, there are still better ways to make this kind of info more visible: For instance, you could paste it into your ".signature", or I could ask the list maintainer to post the http://www.linux-mandrake.com/en/flists.php3 address with every e-mail, or even to do a filtering of e-mails which contain "UNSUBSCRIBE"... cu Denis

Re: [newbie] unsubscribe requests.
One answer which should kill /most/ of the unsub requests is a procmail filter at the server which catches requests with unsubscribe in the title, zaps the posting and sends back instructions (or even sends the correct unsubscribe request to sympa). Obviously, it won't kill ALL requests but it should cut the number down with no human intervention. If all the "I want to be here" users agree to not use the "unsubscribe" word in their posts., then we could extend the filter to catch that word /anywhere/ in the message.

Yes, I allready tryed soundconfig and it played the Testsample as well, as the Testmidi ,to get it there, I had it several times out of the maschine and plugged into other slots, then change all IRQ's and DMA's. About the third lot that I tryed, I got it working(I,m wondering about that, cause the manual says ,all adresses, IRQ's and DMA's should be OK for the Board and you can change them via software (not the adress, of course)). I was quit lucky when soundconfig worked like it should. My audio-CD's and MP3's are running fine, all video formats (like avi) wich have sound, are "sounding" well. But here's the problem: no MIDI! Non Systemnoises (I suppose now... there should be some, I'm new in Linux and didn't wonder about it made not a beep at all, at first place. Now it occured to me that something is wrong). The whole problem showed to me the time I downloader a sequenzer-program. I was not shure, weather I did the installation wrong, or my system is,so I got a bunch of other MIDI-supporting programs, most of them are working pleny, but with no noise at all. As far as I remember (from my long ago attempts of learning the keyboard playing), MIDI and SAMPLES don't have to do anything with each other, while samples are only "converted" by the soundcard, the MIDI-sound is made by the soundboard itself, only commanded by the MIDI Files. So far, so good WHY ISN'T IT WORKING ??? And WHY is soundconfig ABLE to use the midi chip on my board, but no other program? TIMidity++ and timidiplay ARE INSTALLED!

Re: [newbie] If you want to unsubscribe from the list READ THIS

HTML or something which could be piped through nroff and the likes plain text might be the most easily accessible. DOCBOOK perhaps?

Re: [newbie] compiling details
I hope I can help but I can only guess ... -I did ./config, make and make install with all of them, no problem with the smaller programs, but the big ones have either, - module dependencies, wich shouldn't be there cause the asked modules are allready installed (MICO asked for Qt for instance, but Qt definately is installed (what ever Qt is... I'm not shure about,but it shows as installed in the RPmanager)) That's funny .. usually if you download the source to sompile and they use autoconf then the script to run is ./configure then make then make install. Anyway ... that aside ... very often the place that RedHat and hence Mandrake place the library files is not in the place that the source normally looks for it ... my suggestion is to either look for the rpm for the program you want to compile (rpmfind.net should be a good start) or find out which are the library files that it needs and look through the README (or readme or Readme whatever) and INSTALL (install, Install, etc) to see how to specify the location of library files during either the configure or make stage. or - PERMISSION ERROR And yes..., I did run ./config etc... as root! I think I allready know the direction the problem is commin from: I do run the installation as root, but I do install in an users account. I have to, because there is not that much space left in /usr/bin IS THAT THE PROBLEM? The permission problem is a bit trickier ... usually if you are running as root, the script would have the permission to write stuff anywhere ... the only thing I can think of is that the file you are trying to run does not have executable permissions ...

I followed the instructions mandrake has on its web page. modprobe ppa mkdir -p /mnt/zip ln /dev/sda4 /dev /zip echo '/dev/zip /mnt/zip vfat noauto,user 0 0' \ /etc/fstab Now after doing all of this I set up a desktop icon however in the new file device name I just called it ZipDrive without any extension like .kdelnk I filled in the rest of the boxs under device /dev/zip mount point /mnt/zip filesystem vfat after doing this I put a disk in the zip drive clicked on the desk top and everything worked just fine However the big problem I have is now when I try and reboot the system I get an error message and the system will not boot. I get this: checking root filesystem Fsck.ext2(null): The superblock could not read or does not describe a correct ext2 filesystem. If the device is valid and it really contains an ext2 filesytem(and not swap or ufs or something else) the superblock is corrupt Is a directory while trying to open / failed The system then allows me to log in as root to attempt to fix this problem Can someone help me with this problem or explain what I have done wrong.

Re: [newbie] newest version of mandrake or redhat...
I think winmodem supportis due sometime in 2.3.40+ kernels. I may be wrong - something is ringing a bell in the back of my head *.tar.gz is a gzipped tape archive. Basically, just like a zip, arj, rar, lha, lzh, etc. file in Windows or other OS's First thing is to unpack them to somewhere. I always 'gunzip' the gz file and then 'tar -xvf' the resulting tar file but you can pipe the commands together the tell tar to do the unzipping for you. It depends upno your habits. Next thing - READ THE README FILE. This will virtually ALWAYS tell you how to build and install the package. I'd strongly suggest looking at the manual for 'make' and spending some time reading about 'makefile's. Once you know what the makefile is trying to do, you can then pretty much work out what you need to do to install the thing! I ALWAYS perform a make -n target to see exactly what the make file will do - the -n switch tells make to not actually issue any commands, but to echo what it WOULD have issued to the screen. That way you can see where files are going to be copied to before they actually get copied there for real! The most important thing though, is to ALWAYS READ THE DOCUMENTION OR README. 99% of the time, it'll always tell you what you should do. How many times have you ran an install-shield package in windows and not had a clue aobut what was being placed where and why! With Linux, you get the decision of where files will go, who can use them, etc, and if you have the source code, you can see what they are going to do when you run them!

When the computer booted up, the delete partition dos program came up, and i went through all the steps. The computer re-booted, and went to lilo again w/ linux stil as an option. This isn't the problem, though, because when i try to run windows it goes into the delete partition dos program and tells me "could not delete linux partition. The operating system partition being deleted was not found." And every time i reboot and try to run windows, it gives me this window with clicking ok as the only option.

Re: [newbie] Zip drive/System Crash
ln /dev/sda4 /dev /zip The space between /dev and /zip is your typo right? Steve Flynn IBM MVS Operations Analyst "Doug Hussey" [EMAIL PROTECTED] on 24/02/2000 16:38:51 Please respond to [EMAIL PROTECTED] To: [EMAIL PROTECTED] cc:(bcc: Steve Flynn/UK/Contr/IBM) Subject: [newbie] Zip drive/System Crash Hi I am new to linux. I have been running mandrake 7.0 for the last couple of weeks and the system has been running great. I decided to try and install my ext iomega (100 meg) zip drive. This is what I did, I logged in as root. I followed the instructions mandrake has on its web page. modprobe ppa mkdir -p /mnt/zip ln /dev/sda4 /dev /zip echo '/dev/zip /mnt/zip vfat noauto,user 0 0' \ /etc/fstab Now after doing all of this I set up a desktop icon however in the new file device name I just called it ZipDrive without any extension like .kdelnk I filled in the rest of the boxs under device /dev/zip mount point /mnt/zip filesystem vfat after doing this I put a disk in the zip drive clicked on the desk top and everything worked just fine However the big problem I have is now when I try and reboot the system I get an error message and the system will not boot. I get this: checking root filesystem Fsck.ext2(null): The superblock could not read or does not describe a correct ext2 filesystem. If the device is valid and it really contains an ext2 filesytem(and not swap or ufs or something else) the superblock is corrupt Is a directory while trying to open / failed The system then allows me to log in as root to attempt to fix this problem Can someone help me with this problem or explain what I have done wrong. Thanks once again I am very new to linux. Doug
[newbie] Install: Services to Autostart?
On my home machine's second Mandrake 6.1 install, I selected the Install Everything option. Unfortunately, this turned out not to be quite the thoughtless option I expected: the install asked me about a long list of cryptically (to me) named services, and I had to click those I wanted to start automatically. A few looked good, and a few looked useless, and a few looked... well, incomprehensible. Is there a list somewhere with comments that would be a good guide to a newbie about which services do what? And how does one change the list after the install is complete? -- Lane Lane Lester / Madison County, Georgia USA Getting where I want to be with Linux...
[newbie] Real Player install.
-- Joerg Reinhardt Döllbachstraße 15 34127 Kassel Germany [EMAIL PROTECTED] Well after trying my luck with tar.g.zip'ped Downloads from the Net (some work fine, others dont, as you can see from my other letters), I followed a tip and got some RPM's downloaded, fine thing, installation works great, exept realplayer 5.0: It installed without error, its Starter is where it has to be but trying to to start it it says "Speicherzugriffsfehler", wich is actualy a little bit tricky for me, to translate to english, well... "Speicher-" should mean something like "RAM" or "Cache" in english and "-zugriffsfehler" should mean something like: "acces-serror" or "impossible to access at..." So what could that mean?
Re: [newbie] PartitionMagic erro
Try using the Partition Magic diskette. Boot the system with this diskette, and from the A:\ type "pqmagict.exe". This program does all thesame things that the Windblows version does, but without the OS running. You can remove the Linux partition, format it as a Ext2, resize, etc. You can also make your W98 partition active, and hide all other partitions,therefore the machine will boot to W98. FYI, I use this diskette a lot, as I have 4 partitions, 2 W98s (1 for Apps, and 1 for Games), 1 with Linux, and a Linux Swap. I also use a program called Power Boot to boot to any OSIlike. But LILO can be set up to boot all OSs as well, with little effort. Hope this helps.
