[newbie] SIS900 Network Card + Mandrake 7.02 ISO Image
Hi all, First at all I am a Linux newbie... I have some problems getting my SIS900 based network card to work. Although it´s listed in hardware compatibility list, Mandrake 7.02 does detect the network card but didnt installed any drivers. I downloaded new drivers from the sis homepage but when I try to install them with insmod I get an error " compiled for kernel 2.2.x current is 2.2.14 pre 15 ". Do I really have to compile the driver ?? Do I need the kernel sources for that ?? Does anybody else got the sis900 cards to work ??? Thanx for any help...

Re: [newbie] Sound volume
I've got the same problem I noticed the same thing happened with Mandrake 6.1 but the problem went away after I played with it a while...can't figure out what I did (and wish I could because it's not going away in 7.0 and its really annoying) On Mon, 07 Apr 2036, you wrote: I have installed Linux Mandrake 7.0 on my computer without any problem. And I have run sndconfig to setup my (very) old SB16 sound card and it is running nicely. The problem is that every time I log on (either as root or user), the sound volume is always at maximum level and I have to reduce it manually. Is there a way to save the sound volume setting after I have adjusted it?

Re: [newbie] Now I'm Impressed!
I wouldn't dare install W98 on my P133/64M, but under LM6.1 it runs very well. Netscape has not crashed my box (imagine that) even w/ 30+ Navigator/mail/composer windows open! I havn't had the time to get TOO brave w/ Linux (been using it for email mostly), but sometime I'll get my new kernel in place (for the heck of it really, just to do it, 2.2.13-7mdk seems to be doing fine as is). When people ask me about Linux I tell them it's a completely different animal from Windoze as far as installing software, but that once you get things in place, THEY STAY IN PLACE! There's no crazy computer trolls that come in and change my configuration around and fragment my HDD in the wee hours of the AM. Of course, I still use the W98se box to play Tomb Raider and to show my Mom how do what she needs to do. I really hope there's not the sort of rush for Win'00 as there was for '98. Folks that would just be sad. I don't think W2k is on the shelf around here yet, but I havn't looked either :~} CUZ I DON'T CARE! Just my $.02 on the subject... Later -Josh Necrotica wrote: I just have to share this with someone. Ya know, the more I learn about Linux Mandrake the more I love it!! Up until this weekend I ran a dual boot system of Windows 98SE and LM7. I'm an IT professional, and since I need to get certified in it, I decided to blow away my 98 partition and install 2000. What a mistake that was. First, I have to say, if Win2K is Microsoft's best attempt at a stable OS then they need to stop smoking crack. That is the WORST operating system I have ever used, couldn't use my CD burner, and it kept on randomly hanging on me. It truly is pathetic. Personal obervations aside, I do need to run a Microsoft operating system. So I killed 2000 and reinstalled 98 tonight. As suspected, it wrote over LILO and couldn't boot into Linux afterwards. Luckily I created a Linux boot disk, thinking that would easily solve the problem Nope. I learned while installing Linux the first time that there is a conflict between my video card and my HDD controller. Thus, without a special vga boot parameter I get a kernel panic saying it can't mount my root drive. Adding the parameter vga=0x0301 works flawlessly. Unfortunately this parameter does NOT work with the boot disk I created. When I try to use the vga parameter it tells me "valid vga options are ask, enhanced, or a decimal number." I converted 0x0301 to decimal - no go. Tried all sorts of options...still nothing worked. I was one step away from thinking that I would have to reinstall from scratch when I tossed in my CD and did an upgrade. Lo and behold, that upgrade process is the SMARTEST thing I have ever seen. It checked my existing rpm database, found that I had everything already installed, kept my entire configuration, allowed me to put LILO back on, and voila! I'm back in Linux 5 minutes later and I couldn't even tell that it did anything. Brilliance! Pure brilliance! From a technical standpoint thats very well thought out. Anyone feel brave enough to try the same thing with NT or 2000? Its nice to be /home again. -Necro
Re: [Re: [newbie] /usr or /root?]
Steve, If his only partitions for linux (other than swap) are / and /usr (I believe he meant/ rather than /root), Yes, that is indeed what I meant. I am sorry that I expressed myself so badly. won't /opt be inside the / partition? That's the usual place for te third party software, like SO he's thinking of using. Might that not make / fill up more quickly. That is my concern. Are there any figures avaiable on how much space is taken up in every file system in the default installation? What I mean is, are there any numbers for how big the /, the /usr, the /etc, the /opt, the /var etc. partitions absolutely have to be in order to accomodate a full installation, everything included? Perhaps a separate /opt and /home might help. any thoughts? Mike Perhaps I should make separate /etc, /var, /opt, /usr, /, and so on, for every file system? I'd feel pretty silly if I had made one partition too small and eventually had to reformat and reinstall the entire system, just because a partition turned out to be too small. That is why I want to do this right from the beginning. Some of the applications I plan to install I guess will end up in /usr. I thought this was where all third-party software was installed, but apparently some will end up in /opt? Is this true? In that case perhaps I should make a separate /opt instead of a separate /usr?

Re: [newbie] Ram dectection
You have to be careful with this one. It is recommended that before you add the line "append="mem=128M" to lilo.conf that you test it first. When Linux first boots, at the boot: prompt, type in "Linux mem=128M" boot that way. You might have to change the way that Linux boots to give you some time to type. On my computer, it only saw 64 of 128MB RAM. I added the line Linux mem=128M at the prompt got "KERNEL PANIC", not a good thing. So I fiddled with the settings added Linux mem=127M everything was fine. Then I could safely add this line to the top of lilo.conf. Here is the documentation from REDHAT: "7.1 Problems with Linux finding all of a machine's RAM Question: My machine has 128 MB of RAM, however Linux only sees 64 MB of it. What is going on, and how can I fix it? Answer: On most systems, the reason is that the BIOS has a limit of how much memory it will tell the OS is present in the machine, even though the board can have more. Common limits seen with this problem are 16M, 32M, 64M, and 128M. To get around this, we need to explicitly specify the amount of memory to the kernel at boot time via the mem= actual memory goes here flag. In the following example, we have a 128M machine but only 64M are being seen by Linux. At the LILO prompt, we type LILO: linux mem=128M After the machine boots, we use the free command to see if the larger amount of memory was recognized by the kernel. If so, we can add an append line to the /etc/lilo.conf file and rerun LILO to make it happen permanently. The example from above could look like the following: boot=/dev/sda map=/boot/map install=/boot/boot.b prompt timeout=50 image=/boot/vmlinuz-2.2.12-20 label=linux root=/dev/sda1 initrd=/boot/initrd-2.2.12-20.img read-only append="mem=128M" Do not forget to run /sbin/lilo -v after editing the file.

Re: [newbie] sound configuration
AFAIK it is not possible (correct me if I'm wrong, coz I'm curious myslef). Anyway, even if you succeed... The sound will probably get out of sync with the game. The sound is a continuous stream of 1.4112 kbit/s. That's not much, but every now and then your network will generate some "lag" when sending something over the cable, and the continuity of your stream is not guaranteed. Result: the sound that's being played (the sound that just came in trough the network cable) is sound that was emitted by your gaming-machine seconds ago. Synchronisation is lost...

I have since downloaded and installed the Intel drivers for this card but they are not showing up after I followed the install procedures, but they do show up in the conf.modules file. The module for this card according to Intel is e100.o. This system is not meant as a server but is on an NT LAN with a T1 link to the Internet using Static IP addresses. What would you suggest?

Re: [newbie] RPM question
Of course they're compatible. rpm is just a package format. What you're asking is similar to "are zip-files downloaded from www.gamecenter.com compatible with the ones downloaded from www.gamespot.com?" (I'm not mocking you; this was the first, although stupid, example that came to mind). RPM is just the box containing some binaries, and info on where they should go on the system, and some after-install scripts. The standard is pretty well defined, and the linux-community is known for its respect for standardisation, unlike Microsoft for example. Only thing is perhaps you need to install other packages to satisfy dependencies, but the install procedure will tell you which ones they are.

[newbie] Man Pages with Numbers
I was reading the man page on crontab, and it never did get around to saying how you actually use the darn thing. But it did refer to another man page: crontab(5). Well, there is no such critter, but I did find a crontab.5.bz2. Unfortunately, I couldn't figure any way to view it. "man crontab.5" didn't. -- Lane Lane Lester / Madison County, Georgia USA Getting where I want to go with Linux...
Re: [newbie] network monitoring
ksniffer rpm requires an older version of a file I have, I may look at makeing that one. I downloaded the .src.rpm version of ksniffer. I tried to install it. I ran rpm --rebuild ksniffer.src.rpm, but it complained about not finding headers like qcolor.h, qfont.h, qstrlist.h, and many others. I saw that those where in the qt-devel package. What I don't undestand is that this package IS installed and the headers ARE on my system. So, I'm stuck. Any clue? With the rpm I got, I needed to get libjpg.so.6 even though I have libjpg.so.62, what a pain. I did get it installed but is has nowhere the features shown on the website, must be an old version. Anyway you might find Iptraf useful, no graphs (none in my ksniffer either) but lots of info and a great manual. http://cebu.mozcom.com/riker/iptraf/ Dave
[newbie] clock
Is there any way to make the default clock in KDE go in 12 hour time instead of 24?
Re: [newbie] wheel mouse
Thanks for the reply. I did what you suggested and it did work - to a certain degree. Now when I spin the wheel the cursor moves up and down on the screen, Is that all that it can do or is something else to get the wheel to act as it does in windows?
