[newbie] Soundcard installation problems
My soundcard worked perfectly with Mandrake 6.0, but now that I've upgraded to 7.0 I'm having problems. Lothar and sndconfig both gimme all these error messages all the time, but I guess that could be that I pick the wrong options. sndconfig autodetects a "OPL3-SAX" card, but the autoinstallation fails, and I end up having to do things manually. I've managed to get audio. play works fine, but in Gnome (and Enligtenment) the sounds are repeated in all eternity, or until I logout and X is restarted. XMMS and X11amp just produce noise. Oh, and Linus saying "this is how i pronounce..." in Lothar and sndconfig is played at too high a pitch, and stops before he's finished. Any clues? __ Do You Yahoo!?

Re: [newbie] Drake Config
And if that doesn't work, put in your first cd and mount it, click on Mandrake, and then on RPMS and then on linuxconf and install it!

[newbie] Kernels
A friend of mine, to whom I owe a lot for introducing me to Mandrake, asked me to post the following questions: I finally got around to putting Mandrake 7.0 on my notebook... I went to the trouble to do a new install... I installed everything I could... I end up with 5 kernels... vmlinuz-2.2.14-15mdk vmlinuz-2.2.14-15mdkfb vmlinuz-2.2.14-15mdksecure vmlinuz-2.2.14-15mdksmp vmlinuz-2.2.14-1mdklinus It defaulted to the last one vmlinuz-2.2.14-1mdklinus... The problem with that is that there was no pcmcia modules for that kernel... It was simple to switch them and use vmlinuz-2.2.14-15mdk... (which has modules for pcmcia already installed)... But what are each of these, how do they differ? I understand secure and smp... But what is fb? Floppy Boot fits, but it is a large kernel for that purpose... Why did the install give me linus rather than no-name... Particularly since I told it I had pcmcia things? -- Lane Lane Lester / Madison County, Georgia USA Using Linux to get where I want to go...

I OK this, to go on, and then I get a menu of package choices (Server, Development, Games, etc.) I choose the absolute minimum, which is 1180 Megs, and when I OK this too, I get an error that the .rpms could not be installed because of no space in / partition. This is weird cause I restarted after I partitioned, so there shouldn't be a problem for the installation to see the allocated space. Any ideas?

Re: [newbie] Problems with sound and apache
Uhh, haven't been following this thread, but... The standard way to start httpd is as follows: /etc/rc.d/init.d/httpd start Other options besides start are: stop, status, restart and reload. And you might use the System V init editor to start it up every time the PC boots, but I suggest you do some research on System V bootup if it's new to you.

Re: [newbie] KDE intrusion on Gnome
what I have done to turn off kde when in Gnome is to bring up the task manager and look for the process "kfm" and kill it with the kill signal of your choice. On Mon, 20 Mar 2000, Anthony Huereca mewed: Yea, I hate when that happens. I think it happens when you run another application from your KDE application. For instance, when you click a link in Kmail, it'll start up a KDE browser, putting all the KDE icons on your desktop. So I just copy and paste in Netscape now. But yes, it's very annoying to logout to fix it. Anyway, just sharing some grief with you, I have no idea how to fix it either. I use Gnome with sawmill as my preferred choice. When I use some kde programs (kmail for example) my desktop gets filled with the kde icons. This happens some times and not others. Is there a way to stop this?

All with with out a problem. Then I got to my 75 Mhz, HP Pavillian. During the installation, the system indicated that it could not open the DISPLAY (XWindow) to complete installation. The hardware is: 75 Mhz Pentium, 4.3 G Hard drive (1 LINUX partition), SVGA video with hires 17" monitor. 4x CDRom, external Modem Blaster modem. After this failure, I installed LINUX on one more sistem, a 200 mhz Gateway machine, no problem!!! Any suggestions?

[newbie] 3Com 3CXe589E PCMCIA ETHERNET CARD
Hi, I've been spending 2 weeks trying to install my 3Com 3CXe589E PCMCIA ETHERNET CARD on a TOSHIBA 2500CDS with MANDRAKE 7.0, and just can't do it. FIRST, at linux installation (when it asks if you want to configure the net),it recognizes the card and actually it is supposed to make it work in order to download something (crypt...) from an ftp site. It says pcmcia probe found 1 net devices, found driver for 3c589_cs insmod /modules/pcmcia_core.o.insmod/modules/3c589_cs.o ... it finishes installing linux succesfully and restarts.. WHEN it tries to find module dependencies it shows nothing about pcmcia, and when it comes up to network inicialization it says: network inicialization delayed...[failed] AFTER logging in, if I run "cardctl ident" it says "no pcmcia driver in /proc/devices", and when I run "cardctl config" it says the same thing, when it is supposed to say something about the cards it detects. WHAT i think is that this kernel version (2.2.14-1mdklinus) does't support pcmcia or at list doesn't have the correct modules, because it doesn't even have a "pcmcia" subdirectory (/lib/modules/2.2.14-1mdklinus/pcmcia) where i can find "pcmcia_core.o" and "3c589_cs.o" in order to run: "insmod [directory] pcmcia_core.o" What I tried is: insmod /lib/modules/2.2.14-12mdk/pcmcia/pcmcia_core.o, and the answer was: "kernel-module version mismatch /lib/modules/2.2.14-12mdk/pcmcia/pcmcia_core.o was compiled for kernel version 2.2.14-15mdk while this kernel is version 2.2.14-1mdklinus" BUT THE PROBLEM IS THAT MY VERSION (2.2.14-1mdklinus) DOES NOT HAVE ANYTHING LIKE "pcmcia_core.o" or "3c589_cs.o" IN ITS LIBRARIES.

Re: [newbie] [NEWBIE] NIC 3C905b problems
Makes sense. However, what if the following happened: - Mandrake was installed w/o NIC support - Install driver - init 1/init 5 to restart system - Go into Linuxconf, configure networking manually and enable eth0 - Activate the changes I dunno if this will work or not. Never tried it myself, but *I* would try it anyway just to rule it out (I am pigheaded about exhausting all possible resources, though). In a discussion forum such as this throwing ideas and suggestions around might help. At the very least there may be some information on the 3com web site about how to get it to work. Its easy to forget to check the vendor's resources. -Necro On Mon, 20 Mar 2000, you wrote: I don't think new drivers will solve anything if the card isn't recognized in the first place...

[newbie] Update function?
I've just installed fresh 7.02 and I've noticed that there is no "update" icon to automatically update the programs that need to be updated in the KDE Xwindows. How can I get this icon and the executable for 7.0? Thanks. james
[newbie] Second Stage Install ?
Hi, Quick question. I am in the process of installing MDK 7.0. When it reaches stage 2, it hangs I believe. How long does it take to start the second stage install? I may be short on RAM...running 32. Can I still get this up and running until I can upgrade the RAM?
