AW: [newbie] tar
Hello, I also have a Creative Labs SoundBlaster 128 PCI. I configured it with "sndconfig". First I also thought that it did not work, but then I realised that the volume settings were set very very faint. Using a mixer program I increased the sound volumes and voila - I had sound. You may want to try that, because the sound chips (Ensoniq ES/1370 or ES/1371) are usually well supported and recognized under Linux.

Even w/128M (which is not a huge amount nowadays) you should still create a swap partition. You don't sya how you use your computer or what kinds of programs you will typically try to run, but I would think 128M swap would be a good idea, even if little of it is typically used.

Re: [newbie] New Questions
Ann Blackburn wrote: 2)How do I get my computer to recognize my 100MB Iomega Zip Drive? (parallel) Ann, from a root console do 'modprobe ppa' (w/o quotes!) to install the ppa module (needed for your zip). Then you can check to see if it was installed by doing 'lsmod' (you should now see the following in the list: parport_probe, parport_pc, ppa, parport). If those are there, you're ready to mount the zip drive and use it! (If not, you'll have to get and install the ppa module -- I don't remember where I got it, but if you need it I can email it to you directly.) Before you mount the zip, you need to create a mount point in the directory (e.g., /mnt/zip). So, create the directory, then put a zip disk in the drive and do the following mount -t vfat /dev/sda4 mnt/zip That should get you going. Lance

Re: [RE: [newbie] Configure X problems]
I have that exact vid chipset myself. It is supported well in 7.02 I think possibly the problem is the monitor choice, even though your monitor may be listed, try the Generic Monitor/Multisync, with default settings. That should at least get your Xserver to start. I used "xf86config" to do the final tweaking on my video/monitor setup. As a side note, I have tried "xvidtune" and all it does is crash my Xserver. My vid card is a Newcom 4 MB PCI w/CL5465 chipset, and a Sceptre 14" PnP monitor, my vid settings for X are 1024X768 32 Bit color. HTH Jaguar "Eduardo M. A. M.

[newbie] everthing's dead. - please help
Well, like an asshole, I figured I could just install things and see what happened... Well, I did. I installed a hack called Aurora, that does nothing more than make the screen look a bit nicer during startup, by giving a graphical front end to the init process. First, this hack makes it so I cannot book directly into X anymore, and I don't know how to fix it. Then, since I don't know how to install it, it is still there... So, I figured I'll just do a new install. But now, my computer won't boot off the install CD any more (I checked the BIOS, it's ok). Then, it won't boot at all, because I get the following message: hdc: lost interrupt over and over. (hdc is my Zip drive). So, this hack has fried my computer. What can I do to save it?

RE: [newbie] slow Linux
It would be really easy to see if seti@home is the problem... just don't run it, and see if your speed improves.

My isp has an easy way - pay them $3 more per computer and get a static ip for them, just add a hub to my existing setup.

[newbie] How do I mount an IDE Tape drive?
Hi All, I am running Mandrake Air 7.0 on an AMD 233 Mhz system using 96 megs of ram. The install went well, and it saw all my DOS partitions for Windoze and listed them on the desktop, along with the floppy and CDROM drives. However, there is no entry in fstab for my IDE-ATAPI AIWA tape drive. Lothar minimally sees it as /dev/hdd (2nd device on the secondary IDE channel). I've tried manually installing it through linuxconf applet but I'm either not doing it right, or don't have all the params correct. I can't get Linux to recognize or initialize the drive. Any help on this would be appreciated. It's my intent to use the tape drive for backups. The drive works flawlessly on the Windoze side.

[newbie] Soundcard
I have a soundblaster live card and while it works for cd playing and playing mp3's I cannot get it to run for systems sounds. I have tried both lothar and sndconfig but cannot get the system sounds to work. It worked previously but now it doesn't. When I run lothar it just locks up and lately so has sndconfig. I have just tried the mp3 player again and that has locked up too though. ANy help would be appreciated.

[newbie] Further problems
Since I have had the prior mentioned problem with my soundcard my machine is very slow to start up. I get to the login screen and find I have to sit and wait a good 30 seconds for the whole thing to start. This has never been the case, as it has always started first time and very quick. What has happened to slow things down like this? It would appear to be something to do with the sound configuration given that this is what I played with right before the problem started.

I recently upgraded from Mandrake 6.1 to 7. I have all settings the same for my network, but i couldn't get it to work for a long time. Finally i tried turning on DHCP. Now when i turn on my linux box, it searches the network and finds my windows machine that has a DHCP server running. Then it assigns it the address of 192.168.0.2 (since the windows one is 192.168.0.1). If i turn the DHCP off, then the machines can't ping each other.

Re: [newbie] 6.2 Requirements
This forum is the correct place for ANY questions if you need assistance with any of Linux, mostly Mandrake, but we will work with any of them if we know how. As far as I can tell from my system even with Mandrake, YES, you can select what you want installed. It may NOT install ALL of the software, but will give you enough to run and test to your hearts content. NO, I am not experienced with any of this software, but I have done about 12 different installs my self to see what worked and what should be left alone. If you do the 'SERVER' install, which is the least amount of software installed, you can then go back and RE-install (as a fresh install) over that for what ever you like. don I thought I knew that I knew what I thought But now I know that what I thought I knew Isn't what I know I think I thought I knew.

Re: [newbie] Enable PCMCIA NIC Card
pls check the pcmcia module is running with: lsmod if not, you should start it. Michael Bui wrote: Does anyone know how to enable the PCMCIA NIC Card? I was successfully installed Mandrake 7.0-2 on my Mincron TransPort NX laptop with the 3COM-3CCFEM656 PCMCIA card the 1st time. It was working OK where I can see the network, but have problem with my Xwindow; therefore, I reinstall the OS again. After 3 tries and still not able to bring up my Linux with network enable. This is what I got during boot up: Bringing up interface eth0 Delaying eth0 initialization [FAILED] Please help! Michael Bui

I use webmin 0.78 to admin my servers... after, setting up the original in drakeconf... of course... I've placed all the files I want to use in my FTP server...in: /home/ftp/pub I've got my own username (naturally) so I use this to log in to the FTP server...to test it... for some reason, (using gftp 2.06)...it says it is connected...,then it says...user kit, then it starts to re-connect...3 times in a row...then disconnects...without allowing me access I've checked permissions...they are okay... WHY does this happen? How do I correct it? -- ===KompuKit=== Kit Goins ICQ# 7110071 [EMAIL PROTECTED]Lowell, Mass.

Use linuxconf to reset the system services. -Original Message- From: Roger Bird [SMTP:[EMAIL PROTECTED]] Sent: Monday, March 27, 2000 10:30 AM To: Newbie Subject: [newbie] Start-up services I did a dumb thing on the weekend. My machine had been running perfectly-sound, internet, x-windows. I wanted to make it more secure since I am on cable @home. After doing some reading I went into startup services in x (as root of course) and must have shut off one or two of the wrong services. Now my machine boots but hangs before it reaches the graphical login. I know that I stopped httpd, and xfs and ypbind (I think it is called), I can't remember what else. So, two questions... 1) What command at the lilo "Boot" prompt should I use to boot into text mode? 2) What services should definitely be active (my machine is not a server, just a home workstation hooked to the internet) 3) Where would I turn these services back on? I do know of /etc/inetd.conf but are all the services there? Please help. I promise to be more careful next time (ie. back up vital config files) Thanks Roger -- Roger Bird [EMAIL PROTECTED] Toronto, Ontario Thanks again, group! This mail list is super! My machine is running like a dream again. Roger
