Re: [newbie] aureal sound help
Hi Mark, how do you run rpmdrake ? I tried "rpmdrake" from a console, it does not seem to be installed (by default ?). I'm running a Mandrake 6.1. Also, I did a find / -name rpmdrake -print and nothing came out. Thanks Vincent Mark wrote: I just got mine to work yesterday. Here is what i had to do: 1. D/L the newest drives from http://linux.aureal.com 2. make sure that these packages are installed. Open up rpmdrake and show the installed packages and search form the kernel source, gcc, and make. If any of them are not found, install them. 3. Then for a 8830 chip, tar -zxvf auXXX.tar.gz then cd to that dir 4. then (as root) type make install that should be it. i am runnign mandrake 7 with a Monster MX300 SC. if you need help, let me know.

[newbie] Partition sizes?
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: Re[2]: [newbie] RPM question
Hmm. You serious? I wasn't aware or that. But then again, I never used suze. Besides, isn't mandrake a redhat-clone compiled for pentiums, with some extra paranoid security stuff trashed in? Anyway, If you insist, and it is really so, then I must admit I was wrong (never said I know everything; never even said I know much). But still I have my serious doubts. Isn't it more probable that redhat and suze just try to throw their binaries/libraries in different places, and that the other distro doesn't have these paths in their path/lib-path? Coz I know not every distro uses the same paths for their binaries/libs... Yes that was it what i mean. Different distris use different paths for installation. I thought it is possible that in Mandrake 7.0 some paths are different to mdrk 6.1. The packet format itself is the same on all distributions (like zip, tar,...). You can install every rpm from every distri but when you do that you can get in some big trouble e.g you install a suse rpm on a red hat system. In the meantime I downloaded the new version from kdevelop and some other tools from redhat and other sites (always redhat compatible rpms) and now all works like it should. Sorry for my stupid question. After all, RPM is RPM. AFAIK it just contains some files, along with the info on where exactly each file should go, and some post-install scripts. Yes. and thats why I asked. Of course, throwing libs/bins in different directories than the sysetm expects is a form of incompatibility too. Yes thats what i mean. Well, I'll look into it. Was about time I started to understand a bit more 'bout the internal workings of rpms myself. Thanx for the advice. No you were right and I too, but I should next time better describe what my problem is ;)

[newbie] Printer working; no sound modules
Hey , I finally got my printer working!! It didn't take a degree in rocket science either! I noticed that as i was booting up, during POST, the Parallel Port was listed as 'disabled'. I thought that was really strange because the printer works fine in Windows, but I couldn't get it to work in MDK ( didn't even detect it). I went into the CMOS, changed the setting for the Parallel Port (to the 'Setup Default') booted into MDK and saw messages that the parport0 was detected. After logging in, starting X, I started 'DrakConf"went to printer setup and everything fell into place, WHEW. Now to the problem at hand. Also ,as MDK was loading , I saw an error message stating that it couldn't find the sound module. when I run "sndconfig" i get a message " The modules used for your card (SBLive), emu10k1.o, is not currently in your module search path. Please verify that your kernel modules are currently installed. O.K. so now what do i do (after i download the emu10k1 tar driver from Creative)

I have tried several ways to get my Intel PRO/100+ Management Adapter to work in Linux-Mandrake 7.0(the downloaded version) and I have had no success. I downloaded the Linux drivers for my NIC from Intel's web site and followed the instructions to install it, but I keep getting eth0 initialization [failed] at boot up. i have tried editing /etc/conf.modules and /etc/sysconf/hwconf to reflect the new drivers but that did not work. The newly installed drivers DO NOT show up in Lothar, and Lothar and Linux show the card as a different model with incorrect I/O port and IRQ settings then what Win98 shows the card atall other devices show settings identical to what Win98 Device Manager shows(my sound card and video card). How can I install the drivers if Intel's instructions do not work for Linux-Mandrake? Intel says to extract the files from the tar.gz file... Goto the /scr directory that will be created and run 'make'...(this creates the modules file 'e100.o') After that test the modules with insmod e100.o... Install the modules with 'make install'... Load the modules by running 'modprobe e100'... They say the modules should install and work immediately. If there is different way please let me know? How can I get the driver to show up in Lothar?

[newbie] Loosing ones partitions
Hi penguinistas, Not sure if this is a Linux or Windoze problem. Thoe,I suspect,the user needs a thorough debugging. Recently installed Mandrake 6.1 dualboot with Win 95 on an IBM deskstar 13.5 Gb(new) disk- 2.5 for 95 and 4, I think, for Linux. .All seemed fine and bigfun seemed assured with trying to coming to terms with Linux. Then I had the opportunity to update to Win 98 (it seems a bit more stable) and I did a clean install and after 2 days of installing programmes and service packs I tried to boot into Linux without result. Linux will not even install as it thinks the whole disk is Fat32;thoe 98 still thinks its only 2.5 in size. I ran disk doctor from Norton Utilities 4 and it finds an error in the mbr which it tries and fails to correct. Unfortunately the Partition-It I have does not work with disks larger then 8 Gb's so I'm at a loss. Is their anything I can try before wiping the disk and starting afresh with hours and hours reinstalling as,doubtless,my well deserved reward. Thanks Conor

[newbie] Server Partitions
I am setting up a Mandrake 7.0 file/print server on an IBM Netfinity(PII 350, 128 meg, 9.1 Gig SCSI-2) for our office w/ 15 users and was wondering what the best partition sizes would be? The only major software that we plan on adding to the Mandrake distro(for now) is some type of collaboration sofware like Netscape calendar/scheduling. I'll be doing an expert install(even though I'm not) and only installing the services that we absolutely need, although I will include KDE and Gnome because they are so much easier to deal with for file and system maintenance. From reading the archives I guess that I need; swap(128 megs), /boot(20 megs), /(?), /usr(600?), /usr/local(1,500?), /tmp(50?), /var(100?), and /home(the rest). The part that I don't get is what exactly gets put into "/"? Does /boot hold the kernel and / hold all the other software like Samba, etc? And then any software I add after the installation goes into /usr/local? Please feel free to offer suggestions, Victor

RE: [newbie] internet thru windows...
Yo Tomie! I have my network at home setup to do just that! On my windoze machine I use a nice program called Winroute which enables it to operate as a router with caching, proxy cascadeing, etc etc... There are heaps of proxy/router programs for windoze on the net, some of which are freeware, and the rest of them can be "made to be freeware" :-) However, if you have the 2nd edition win98 you can do it without any additional software, though I have no idea how as I use win95OSR2.5 cause it is much less bloat than win98. On the linux end of it you just have to set your gateway DNS to the winblows box. and setup netscrape to use a proxy which is your winblows box.

Let the BillMan help you guys out a little. 1) This is the wrong place to send your virus e-mail SPAM 2) Until you get a flash announcement from ZDNet, Symantec, Network Solutions, etc. then it's also just not true. There's no way on this Earth that you or your e-mail 'friends' (and their friends, and their friends, and so-on, and so-on...) have identified any kind of virus that the big guys aren't going to alert someone about. Now, have you ever really thought about these messages? What is a virus' intent? Usually to cause some kind of problem with the machines it comes in contact with, right? In a way, the very message you sent is a virus. It's being forwarded to e-mail lists, it's been sent to everyone in your address book, and the process continues. What does that do? Well, 1) it causes more traffic around the net 2) it causes e-mail servers to work harder 3) it pisses everyone that receives a copy off -- especially when it's completely off topic for a support list. I have plenty of idiot e-mail friends that are/are going to send me this very same message. I hardly need it to come to me via a high volume list serve! steps down from soap box What you should do. You have a larger responsibility than to simply forward on e-mails. If you think the threat is real then you need to hit the Virus Protection manufacturer's pages and do the research. There's also a page, address escapes me, that deals specifically with all these *FAKE* virus alerts. Don't be a carrier/transmitter! Figure out if the threat is real. If it is you'll find official announcements that can be forwarded that will also include instructions on how to exterminate the virus. Be smart. Be safe. Be diligent in your e-mail forwarding.

[newbie] Help formatting LS-120. How?
Has anybody got an idea of how to format a classic diskette (1.4 Mb) on a LS-120 driver? In my case, the driver is given name /dev/hdc. fdformat doesn't work, not even if I rm /dev/fd0 or /dev/fd0H1440 and change them into symbolic links to /dev/hdc. The result is /dev/fd0: not a floppy device (which is at the same true, because now /dev/fd0 points to /dev/hdc, and not true, because /dev/hdc in the LS-120 driver, and cand handle floppies). fdisk and cfdisk didn't wor either; sfdisk worked, in a way, because after I was able to mount the floppy, but did'nt erase the content of the floppy. So I think it did something useful, like creating a partition table, but did not really format the floppy. Piero Caracciolo 54, rue de Bourgogne 75007 Paris - France

Re: [newbie] Printer working; no sound modules
UPDATE I (sigh) reinstalled MDK again (10th time?) but I finally got everything working ( so far). It took some tweaking, but I think it was worth it. My problems with the sound stemmed from the fact that the sound driver emu10k1,was written for the 2.2.14-15mdk kernel version and at the time of yesterday's post I was running the 2.2.14-1mdklinus version. It seems that depending on the type and class of installation that I initially selected, determined which kernel version was the default. I never performed the 'recommended' install, because I wanted to have control over using LILO (I don't use it, I use a floppy disk to boot up MDK) So I've used the custom, normal installation and version 2.2.14-15mdk was the default. here, my CD/cdwriter needed tweaking (i.e. change IDE to SCSI emulation) but I kept getting error messages I had no rule to *make* when I tried to run xconfig, or menuconfig, just config (following the instructions on the linuxgurus site) So I reinstalled , chose, expert-normal, and just blindly selected everything. here it seems that the default kernel was 2.2.14-1mdklinus. I could make kernel compilations, get my CD drives working, but no sound ( this is where I was yesterday).So I downloaded the tarball driver, followed the instructions, and at the end, got a load of error messages, the prime one being that "the emu10xxx, driver used is for kernel v.2.2.14-15mdk, and you're using 2.2.14-1mdklinus". I must admit that I tried searching for the appropriate driver, and even read a mini how-to, to correct these error messages, but it began to get extremely complicated, and yes frustration set in, so... I reformatted the partition and yes, reinstalled MDK. This time I chose the expert-development route and paid extremely close attention to what was being installed (I'm sure I included stuff that I probably won't use), especially if it had to do with the kernel. SO I rebooted and watched the scrolling messages fly by, the only error message that I got had to do with the CD drives having bad blocks. I had version 2.2.14-15mdk again,with sound and no access to the CD drives. This time though I was able to "make xconfig" and recompile the kernel and . WHEW, everything so far is working Music , printer , internet. I know that the reason why I chose to reformat/install so many times is because I didn't really have anything to lose , just time and internet configurations.

[newbie] Printer working, no sound
From: "rose" [EMAIL PROTECTED] To: [EMAIL PROTECTED]; "Cerritos LUG" [EMAIL PROTECTED] Sent: Thursday, March 02, 2000 9:34 AM Subject: [newbie] Printer working; no sound modules Hey , I finally got my printer working!! It didn't take a degree in rocket science either! I noticed that as i was booting up, during POST, the Parallel Port was listed as 'disabled'. I thought that was really strange because the printer works fine in Windows, but I couldn't get it to work in MDK ( didn't even detect it). I went into the CMOS, changed the setting for the Parallel Port (to the 'Setup Default') booted into MDK and saw messages that the parport0 was detected. After logging in, starting X, I started 'DrakConf"went to printer setup and everything fell into place, WHEW. Now to the problem at hand. Also ,as MDK was loading , I saw an error message stating that it couldn't find the sound module. when I run "sndconfig" i get a message " The modules used for your card (SBLive), emu10k1.o, is not currently in your module search path. Please verify that your kernel modules are currently installed. O.K. so now what do i do (after i download the emu10k1 tar driver from Creative UPDATE I (sigh) reinstalled MDK again (10th time?) but I finally got everything working ( so far). It took some tweaking, but I think it was worth it. My problems with the sound stemmed from the fact that the sound driver emu10k1,was written for the 2.2.14-15mdk kernel version and at the time of yesterday's post I was running the 2.2.14-1mdklinus version. It seems that depending on the type and class of installation that I initially selected, determined which kernel version was the default. I never performed the 'recommended' install, because I wanted to have control over using LILO (I don't use it, I use a floppy disk to boot up MDK) So I've used the custom, normal installation and version 2.2.14-15mdk was the default. here, my CD/cdwriter needed tweaking (i.e. change IDE to SCSI emulation) but I kept getting error messages I had no rule to *make* when I tried to run xconfig, or menuconfig, just config (following the instructions on the linuxgurus site) So I reinstalled , chose, expert-normal, and just blindly selected everything. here it seems that the default kernel was 2.2.14-1mdklinus. I could make kernel compilations, get my CD drives working, but no sound ( this is where I was yesterday).So I downloaded the tarball driver, followed the instructions, and at the end, got a load of error messages, the prime one being that "the emu10xxx, driver used is for kernel v.2.2.14-15mdk, and you're using 2.2.14-1mdklinus". I must admit that I tried searching for the appropriate driver, and even read a mini how-to, to correct these error messages, but it began to get extremely complicated, and yes frustration set in, so... I reformatted the partition and yes, reinstalled MDK. This time I chose the expert-development route and paid extremely close attention to what was being installed (I'm sure I included stuff that I probably won't use), especially if it had to do with the kernel. SO I rebooted and watched the scrolling messages fly by, the only error message that I got had to do with the CD drives having bad blocks. I had version 2.2.14-15mdk again,with sound and no access to the CD drives. This time though I was able to "make xconfig" and recompile the kernel and . WHEW, everything so far is working Music , printer , internet. I know that the reason why I chose to reformat/install so many times is because I didn't really have anything to lose , just time and internet configurations. But everything appears to be working... so far.

Lane Lane Lester / Madison County, Georgia USA Dear Lane, It's very difficult to help you, if you don't even know what did you do that resulted in yours being stuck. I would suggest you to reinstall everyhing from scratch and that upon installation you define four different partitions, in that order: /, /swap, /usr/local/, /opt, /home, so that in future, if you have to reinstall (or upgrade)you keep everything apart from / and /swap, where will be istalled programs and packages that will be peculiar to you, and that you won't like to reinstall. Once you are finished with the installation, you take a notebook and - everytime you change something - you write it down, and you do it quickly, before you forget what you have done. That will enable you 1) to ask for help, 2) to undo the changes, 3) to find again, quickely, the mooves that give good results. Apart form this, if you change the contents of a file, do save its pristine contents first. For instance, if you modify file /hell/murder do first cp /hell/murder /hell/murder.old. You will see: life will be much easier. Yours frindly, Piero. Piero Caracciolo 54, rue de Bourgogne 75007 Paris - France

I have tried to go the expert route but I am not sure that I ever got all the settings right, since I have not been able to find out where the settings are documented. The install starts normally, finds the card and identifies it correctly, but locks when trying to load the driver for it. If I force it skip loading the driver, the install continues on until it comes time to select the location to install and there are no drives to load it on. (As would be expected.) Thanks in advance for your help suggestions. Del You might have to adjust settings on the card. I don't remember if they are on Adaptec's support pages or in a HOW-TO for linux. You might need the latest bios for the card too. Check to see if there is a readme with info on the CD.
Re: [newbie] Loosing ones partitions
Did you try creating a win98 boot disk, booting from it, and at the prompt enter fdisk/mbr to see if that fixes the partition table? condeuser wrote: Hi penguinistas, Not sure if this is a Linux or Windoze problem. Thoe,I suspect,the user needs a thorough debugging. Recently installed Mandrake 6.1 dualboot with Win 95 on an IBM deskstar 13.5 Gb(new) disk- 2.5 for 95 and 4, I think, for Linux. .All seemed fine and bigfun seemed assured with trying to coming to terms with Linux. Then I had the opportunity to update to Win 98 (it seems a bit more stable) and I did a clean install and after 2 days of installing programmes and service packs I tried to boot into Linux without result. Linux will not even install as it thinks the whole disk is Fat32;thoe 98 still thinks its only 2.5 in size. I ran disk doctor from Norton Utilities 4 and it finds an error in the mbr which it tries and fails to correct. Unfortunately the Partition-It I have does not work with disks larger then 8 Gb's so I'm at a loss. Is their anything I can try before wiping the disk and starting afresh with hours and hours reinstalling as,doubtless,my well deserved reward. Thanks Conor
Re: [newbie] Re: [Cooker] Supermount problems...
Brianyep, supermount works fine here. Two floppies (1.44 1.2) a cdrom (scsi), and a zip 100 (also scsi). The cdrom ejects fine and never locks closed. IDE ls-120 does not work with supermount, so it is used the normal Linux way. Alan "Brian T. Schellenberger" wrote: Yes, the CD-RW issue is quickly becoming a FAQ on the expert list (thanks for at least picking the other two lists instead!) Mankrake 7.0 has a bug (evidently not fixed in in 7.0v2) whereby for a CD-RW it correctly sets up the LILO parameters to tell it to use ide-scsi emulation (necessary for CD-RWs under Linux) but fails to make the corresponding change to the /dev/cdrom (or in your case /dev/cdrom2) links. Just rm /dev/cdrom2 ln -s /dev/scd0 /dev/cdrom2 (Verify that the /dev/scd0 is the correct device in your case) and you should be all set for the CD-RW. As for the zip drive, are you trying to mount MS-DOS zips or do you have ext2-formatted zips? Also, I'd check the /dev/zip device; if you have standard zip disks I believe that I recall (from years ago when I used a zip drive) that the it's /dev/pda3 (or /dev/hdc3 or whatever--the third partition anyway--that is active on a zip drive as factory-formatted. You might want to verify where /dev/zip points, too. Since I know that's the problem with the CD-RW it's a likely culprit with the zip drive as well. = In other news, has anybody actually had "supermount" do anything *useful* for them? It seems to auto-mount ok for me once, but it doesn't auto-unmount, and ordinary users can't umount them, either, so I have to go into superuser to just to change the #@$! CD. For this reason, I've just disabled supermount on my system and use a more conventional fstab with the "user" option set on all removable devices. Where is doc on "supermount"? There's no man page I can find other than the one on the command but all it does it munge /etc/fstab, and no "howtos" shipped with Mandrake 7.0, as far as I can tell.

[newbie] Small Issue Like Resolved Please
Hi, I am using Mandrake 7.0 and I have two network cards installed in my computer, one for Roadrunner and the other my LAN. One is a NE2000 the other a 3com card, and I was wondering how to get it to boot my network card at the command prompt instead of showing root at my ip address for roadrunner, I edited conf.modules and switched them and even switched them in the networking config in LinuxConf under DrakConf. any help would be greatly appreciated. Also another small minor issue is that all my or most of my apps under DrakConf are coming up under text mode only or as if they are in a terminal window, instead of the GUI for X windows that Mandrake installs? I had to manually install DrakConf because it didnt get done during the OS install and also installed a newer release of Linuxconf, i did this before I reformatted and installed Linux and it worked fine but now it seems to bring up this issue. Any help would be greatly appreciated. Thanks, Brad
Re: [newbie] Sciruty Level = Paranoid
Hi, I Dont know if you tried this or not,but you should be able to reset the security level under the security panel in DrakConf, let me know if this is of any help or not. Brad
