[newbie] Re: Adding Second Floppy Drive

[newbie] X Server Crash
I've been trying to get through X not working and finally had to do an ftp upgrade from the pub/linux/mandrake/current to reload the packages. Now when I do a "startx" the server attempts to run, then crashes. It recognizes my S3 Trio 3D chipset, but says there is no mode definition for "800 x 600": SVGA: There is no mode definition named "800 x 600" SVGA: Removing mode "800 x 600" from list of valid modes SVGA: There is no mode definition named "600 x 400" Fatal server error: No valid modes found. When reporting a problem related to a server crash, please send the full server output, not just the last message. X connection to :0.0 broken (explicit kill or server shutdown). My questions are; 1) How do I send the entire server output and who to?, 2)Any suggestions on how to fix this? I've done the upgrade thing a few times with no luck. When I try "XF86Setup", it says "XF86Setup: command not found". Did the package not install and is there a way I can check? Or, is this just a problem with the S3 Trio 3D video? The system is an IBM Netfinity 3000 (PII 350, 128 meg, 4 meg video, 9.1 gig SCSI -2) with a custom server install ftp'd from the /linux/current directory. Sorry for so many questions, but I hope there is a simple answer. Victor
[newbie] Connecting to ISP Problems
Guess I was lucky because I had very little trouble getting my modem to work with 7.0 but my luck ran out when I tried to connect to my ISP. I'm using pppd. My ISP's tech support supplied all the setup parameters needed but that is as far as they would help. When I called to ask for help with this question I was told that I could use LINUX if I "had to" but they would not support it in any way. I connect, I logon to the network and then the error message pops up stating that... "The ppd daemon died unexpectedly!". The log file lists: pppd 2.3.10 started by root uid0 using interface ppp0 connect ppp0 --- /dev/cua1 lcp: timeout sending config-requests "The remote system does not seem to answer to configuration request. Contact your provider." Any suggestions? Thanks!!! Lori Rothermel
Re: [newbie] /, /usr, and /opt?
Thank you Emilio. Some people claim that third-party software ends up in /opt however, and if I don't make a separate partition for /opt I guess that is created under /. If / is too small this may cause it to be full rather quickly, while /usr remains comparatively empty. Of course, if this is not true your advice makes a lot of sense. I would just like to see some numbes on how many megabytes are installed in the different partitions in an average installation with a modest addition of third-party software, so that I know what to expect. Thank you again. /Ian From: "Emilio Correa" [EMAIL PROTECTED] Hi, I will tell you how I create my partitions and thats ok for me: My main partition (hda) has about 3 GB, and then in the installation I created: / (500 MB) (here is important to give space for /temp ) /usr (2 GB) /swap (128 MB) (depending of your RAM memory) /local (370 MB) (personal files of users) I read that all the soft you will install should be in /usr/local You can change the size of any partition with "Partition Magic" without reinstalling all! (I could do it ) If you can't shout me. good luck I assume that "partition magic" is a Windows application? I don't know anything about windows. I got my PC just to run Linux on it.

Slow install...slow disk access...hardware problem. I have tried using PHAT Linux which is, I believe, based on an earlier version of Mandrake and it is much faster with disc accesses (an order of magnitude or more).

Re: [newbie] KDE can't start
I just went through this myself. Do this: cat /var/log/messages If it displays too much information, or you see no xdm entries then try this: grep xdm /var/log/messages It'll tell you what's missing. I use kdm (xdm replacement). After upgrading from Mandrake 6.0 to 7.0 kdm was working, but it would only start in failsafe regardless of which wm was selected. I was able to work around this by typing "startkde " at the xterm window and KDE would work fine. Since I have more pressing matters to work on I just dealt with it. Well, last night I was searching the logs for DENY messages from my firewall and noticed that xdm was failing on the file /etc/.../Xsession -- can't remember exact path, but I think it was /etc/X11R6/xdm. I took a peek in that directory and there was no Xsession file. There was an Xsession~ (backup) and an rpmsave.Xsession, but no Xsession. Both of the aforementioned backup files were dated the same so I did a: cp Xsession~ Xsession Ever since my system is working as expected. If you're not using kdm then I'd take a look in your $HOME directory. It's missing the necessary file to start KDE. If memory serves you need the line: exec startkde in your .xsession file ... could be wrong on this one. Check http://www.bigfoot.com/~bill.mote where I've written a now outdated installation page for KDE. It should have the information you need about which file in $HOME to modify.

Re: [newbie] Red Hat partition examples?
Ask the partition question to a dozen people and you're likely to get *3* dozen answers. I wish someone would set a standard by which we could all survive. I like the ease of having /, /boot, /home and swap which are the default partitions created by Mandrake, but I've often longed for a more granular scheme. I want to break out all the system partitions so that I can mount them read-only -- only the critical ones that shouldn't get written to on a daily basis. I want the flexibility to install applications and not worry about space. /home and /var I'd like to have separate. /var holds a *lot* of stuff. It's the print spool, mail spool, log receptacle, etc. I've seen systems unable to boot (in my older days grin) just because a bad process filled /var/log/messages =) Bill Mote - Original Message - From: "Lothar Mandrake" [EMAIL PROTECTED] To: [EMAIL PROTECTED] Sent: Tuesday, March 07, 2000 4:11 AM Subject: [newbie] Red Hat partition examples?

[newbie] what partitions should I have?
What partitions should I have when installing mandrake? I have a 251 mb swap and a 1300 mb / but how should it be set up?
[newbie] Partition Sizes
I pulled the following off the Red Hat site. It's based off of a 1.6 GIG HD and I'm guessing a 32M memory. If they say use that much for /, I'm not gonna argue(they built the distro): The Server-Class Installation A server-class installation is most appropriate for you if you'd like your system to function as a Linux-based server, and you don't want to heavily customize your system configuration. What Does It Do? If you choose not to partition manually, a server-class installation removes ALL existing partitions on ALL installed hard drives, so choose this installation class only if you're sure you have nothing you want saved! When the installation is complete, you'll find the following partitions: A 64MB swap partition. A 256MB partition (mounted as /). A partition of at least 512MB (mounted as /usr). A partition of at least 512MB (mounted as /home). A 256MB partition (mounted as /var). Intel: A 16MB partition (mounted as /boot) in which the Linux kernel and related files are kept. Alpha: A 2MB partition (mounted as /dos) in which the MILO boot loader is kept. This approach to disk partitioning results in a reasonably flexible filesystem configuration for most server-class tasks. Please Note: You will need approximately 1.6GB of free disk space in order to perform a server-class installation.

[newbie] 10/100 ISA cards?

[newbie] Sound Problems
I have a Sound Blaster Live Card installed on a new machine, I did a full install and added mostly everything on the system. When I went to configure the sound card it came back with a message says it can't find the modules not in the path. Can anyone tell me how to add the modules to the path? This is for Mandrake 7.0.

If they say use that much for /, I'm not gonna argue(they built the distro): The Server-Class Installation This threat is about a single user system, isn't it? I *should* pay better attention ;-). Never mind... A server-class installation is most appropriate for you if you'd like your system to function as a Linux-based server, and you don't want to heavily customize your system configuration. What Does It Do? If you choose not to partition manually, a server-class installation removes ALL existing partitions on ALL installed hard drives, so choose this installation class only if you're sure you have nothing you want saved! When the installation is complete, you'll find the following partitions: A 64MB swap partition. Take more. 100MB A 256MB partition (mounted as /). Pardon? Me: df / FilesystemSize Used Avail Use% Mounted on /dev/hda8 76M 36M 36M 50% / As you can see, my / is just 76 MB large and is just about 50% filled... A partition of at least 512MB (mounted as /usr). Definitely more. Make that at least 1 Gb. This is where the huge chunk of things go (libraries, binaries, docs) A partition of at least 512MB (mounted as /home). Ridiculous. On a single user system 200 MB are *plenty*. Mine /home currently fills 85 MB *and* there's running a web server from it. A 256MB partition (mounted as /var). Depends. if you are going to build huge databases, you might need that much. Mine is 150 MB with 125 MB free. Intel: A 16MB partition (mounted as /boot) in which the Linux kernel and related files are kept. Alpha: A 2MB partition (mounted as /dos) in which the MILO boot loader is kept. This approach to disk partitioning results in a reasonably flexible filesystem configuration for most server-class tasks. Please Note: You will need approximately 1.6GB of free disk space in order to perform a server-class installation. Regards tom BTW: Partitioning isn't all that important. Most people are happy with the /home - / duo or even are only using /. Partitioning makes backups easier and may reduce damage in case of severe system errors. Last is quite unusual and nowadays backup software is clever enough to sort it out on its own. -- "No fun, no gain" Thomas 'tom' Berger, [EMAIL PROTECTED] (home), [EMAIL PROTECTED] (work) http://www.mandrakeuser.org, [EMAIL PROTECTED]

I want to break out all the system partitions so that I can mount them read-only -- only the critical ones that shouldn't get written to on a daily basis. I want the flexibility to install applications and not worry about space. /home and /var I'd like to have separate. /var holds a *lot* of stuff.

RE: [newbie] PCMCIA
Another nice trick with PCMCIA services is when you get it running, if you watch the boot process it fails the eth? and yet later when it starts the PCMCIA services it will then kick on the nic and boot up nicely. If you like me and this "failed" bothers you, go into /etc/rc.d and take a look around. You'll notice several files like rc1.d, rc2.d etc. If your booting init 3 "ex: dos prompt" then go into the rc3.d dir, if your booting straight into the GUI mode "ex: Gnome or KDE" then go into the rc6.d dir. Then list the files. Notice their all symbolic links to other files, but these are the links run to startup the services. Usually there numbered like S10network and S45pcmcia The numbers I gave are examples. Anyway, rename the numbers to the opposite ends...ex. from above do the following (after looking to find a free number, as their usually numbered in increments of 5 or 10. as root type : mv S45pcmcia S11pcmcia then type mv S10network S46network What this does is boots them in the correct order. No failed messages again. The above procedures has caused me no problems, though I admit I am fairly new to Linux.

I'm stumped. --- mark constant [EMAIL PROTECTED] wrote: when i put the cd-rom for mandrake 7 in and booted up off the floppy I got this error message in second stage install _x11TransSocketUNIXConnect: Can't connect: errno = 111 _x11TransSocketUNIXConnect: Can't connect: errno = 111 Mon Mar6 13:29:18 2000 Gtk- Warning**! cannot open display at : :0 at /usr/bin/perl-install/my_gtk.pm line 139 install exited abnormally sending termination signals... done sending kill signals...done unmounting filesystems /tmp/rhimage /proc you may safely reboot your system plus I tried using the autboot.bat and whenever it said it was going to start reading the cd-rom it just halted.

[newbie] jp106 keyboard
yesterday night I installed mandrake 7.0 from a cd that I burnt my self. Before I was using redhat 6.1 but I preferred a complete KDE desktop and I switched to mandrake. My problem is that I am using a laptop with a jp106 keyboard but during the installation I couldn't find the japanese keyboard choice. In redhat it is possible to choose the japanese keyboard during the installation, what should I have to do to get a jp106 keyboard as a default in mandrake. thanks for your help. altay
