Reset the monitor to GENERIC before changing monitor's, and login using the
LINUX 3 then ROOT to check the setup (with setup, xconfigurator, XF86Setup,
xf86configyour choice) and adjust as needed.

[newbie] How to configure JDK1.2.2 with Mandrake 6.1

[Zhiyuan Cheng]

Hi, everybody

I am trying to install JDK1.2.2 and BDK1.1 onto my Mandrake 6.1 system. Is 
there anyone has experience can share with me, such as how to set PATH and 
CLASSPATH? do I have to install JRE separately and how to do that? can I 
install BDK1.1 for Unix to my Linux system?

Thanks for your attention.

FWIW I'm using the ATI Expert98 too and never a problem. But Mandrake 7.0 did
not auto-detect it during install.

bryan.


I've been trying install the Secure Server Edition of Mandrake 7.0 (That's
the Macmillan Publishing version I bought at CompUSA).

The system I'm installing to is an Intergraph TD-4. It's a Dual Pentium 90
with 96MB RAM. It has NCR SCSI (I'm not sure what chipset). with a Toshiba
CD-ROM [ID4], a Conner 1.0GB [ID1], and a Micropolis 4.3GB [ID0]. It has a
built-in NIC, but I have no clue what it is... (I know, I really need to
take a closer look at the motherboard...)

Anyways, the problem with installing is actually the video card. Originally,
it had a Diamond Stealth 64 DRAM PCI. The install got all the way to the
last step, Configuring X.
It then spit out an error that said it couldn't find Server_S3. I replace
the vid card with a PCI Trident Chipset, and I also tried another with a PCI
Tseng Chipset. Both times, I resinstalled completely, and got to the same
spot at the end and got back that it couldn't find Server_SVGA.

Any ideas? Are these vid cards just so cheesey that they won't work or
something? I'm not to keen on digging up a higher-end PCI vid card for
something that is just bascially going to sit around and be a minor web
server for me

When you run into that problem with resolution, monitor, vid card and you
lose the screen - all black or the such; try using the
"ctrl-alt-backspace" (without the quotes) combination - usually this will
bring you back to your prior settings.

I had to do this with Opera and others.
First you may want to search the directory where you installed  for a   .xpm
file.
That, if there is one, may be the icon that isn't installed correctly.  If you
find one click on it  to view it in Icon Editor.  If it looks good, move it to
/usr/share/icons   and it will be available in your icon choices.

You can draw one with Icon Editor and save it in the mentioned folder.

Or what I do is find the apps icon in their docs or webpage.  Take a screenshot
with  Gimp, crop the icon out of it trying to get it roughly square, then
resize it to 32x32.  Name it and save it to your /usr/share/icons  and you're
done.
Just remember to give it an .xpm  extension  and make sure its  32x32.

Jay;

Try looking at the file "/var/log/dmesg".   This tells you what linux
finds each time it starts.  And what it assigns to your drives.  Or
append a copy of it to an email and maybe someone on this list could
help you.  My internal zip is a IDE but linux thinks it's a SCSI.  So
instead of assigning it "hdd", it assigns it "sd0".  Your mileage may
vary.

Sorry it took so long, I'm in the Windows partition and it does
EVERYTHING slower  

Here's the address for Netscape 4.72 128 bit browser:
ftp://sunsite.uio.no/pub/unix/Linux/Mandrake-crypto/RPMS/

You'll need both the 'common' and the 'communicator' files (navigator is
built into communicator), and remember that if you're in the United States
it is illegal (last I heard) to export 128 bit encryption  If you're not
in the US, make sure it's o.k. for you to have this wherever you happen to

Re: [newbie] kppp Problems

[Mike & Tracy Holt]

Here's an excellent howto for setting up kppp:
http://help.jps.net/unsupported/mandrake

Make sure you replace the phone numbers and dns numbers with the ones for
your isp and follow the pictures EXACTLY; that should solve your problems.

[newbie] Getting more Icons for KDE

[Murray Strome]

I can add new applications to the KDE desktop OK.  However, when I want to
select an Icon for it, I am given a choice (I don't know where they come
from).  I would like to use something more representative of the actual
application (like the "real" WordPerfect and StarOffice Icons).  Anyone know
how to do this?

Thanks.

Re: [newbie] browser

[Murray Strome]

Out of curiosity, where did you find an rpm version of the 128 bit version of
Netscape 4.71?  On the Red Hat site, I can find one for 4.71, and the standard
regular version of 4.72.  At the Netscape site, I can find the 128 bit version
of 4.72, but it is not in rpm format and things do not get carried over cleanly
from Communicator 4.6 when using the ns install they suggest.

Probably it is just a "default" install. It does not install networking.
Same for "make" and co. - they are not installed on default.

This will improve in 7.1 - kernel-sources will REQUIRE make, tcl/tk,

Again assuming you're using KDE

Tag the big K on the lower left of your screen. You'll find a sub
heading of Internet and kppp will be located in there.

there are a lot of choices when editing / adding a new account but it's
fairly safe to accept the defaults given unless specifically told to do
so by your ISP.  All you should need to do is enter the phone number
you're goning to dial, enter the afore mentioned DNS IP numbers, and
tell kppp where to find your modem.  Just in case you're not aware

com1 = ttyS0
com2 = ttyS1
etc.

under kppp / edit is an area to select the modem port, query the modem
and set the port speed.

let us know how it works out.

[newbie] Samba -printing to a NT printer

[mendes]

Hello
I am kind of tired of trying to ffigure out hwo to use samba to have
linux printing to a NT printer.  On the NT side, the printer is a share (without
password) with the name HP1600.

Here are pieces of printcap and smb.conf.

HP1600:\
:sd=/var/spool/lpd/HP1600:\
:mx#0:\
:sh:\
:if=/usr/bin/smbprint:

printing = bsd
printcap  name = /etc/printcap
load printers = yes
print command = /usr/bin/lpr -P%p -r %s
min print space = 2000
lock directory = /var/lock/samba
 
[homes]
comment = Home Directory
read only = No
create mask = 0600
directory mask = 0700
browseable = No
 
 
[printers]
comment= All printers
path = /tmp   
print ok = yes
browseable = no
printable = yes



[HP1600]
comment = Printer %p on a NT Box = %h
path = /var/spool/lpd/HP1600
printable = yes
read only = Yes
guest ok = Yes
guest account = pguest
public = yes
print ok = Yes
printer name = HP1600
oplocks = No
share modes = Yes
writable = Yes

What could be wrong?

Thanks a lot.

RE: [newbie] Internet Problems

[Pittman, Merle]

you only need Kppp if you are using dialup.

Since you are using a PCMCIA card I would assume it is a network card (since
most modems are built in) so you must be using a cable or dsl modem, not
dialup.  Therefore, you don't need Kppp.

RE: [newbie] Loadlin

[Eric MC DECLERCK]

STARTING LINUX WITH LOADLIN.

Step by step installation:
- make a dir in windoz (ex: loadlin)
- copy loadlin.exe to your dir.
Modif of 'MSDOS.SYS' :
-click on this file and disable 'readonly'
-open with an editer the file and set BootGUI=0 ( in section [Options](this
don't start the logo of windoz.
- in the same section set Logo=0
Modif of CONFIG.SYS :
-open with a texteditor this file.
-insert at top :
[menu]
menuitem=WIN, Windows 98
menuitem=LINUX, linux
menudefault=WIN, 10  #or LINUX as you like !
[WIN]

-insert at bottom :
shell=C:\loadlin\loadlin.exe c:\loadlin\vmlinuz root=/dev/hd
(here I suppose your HD = C, replace hd with your root partition in
linux)

Now go boot-up linux.
mount your dos partition and copy 'vmlinuz-2.2x' to the dir
'loadlin' as 'vmlinuz'.

That's all.
Good luck

Re: [Re: [newbie] browser]

[Jaguar]

get the Communicator, Common, and Navigator files...also the easiest way I
found to install 4.72 was to uninstall the existing version (that way there
are no version conflicts), don't worry about DIR being empty, and installing
new version.  The DIR not being empty means that all you bookmarks, plugins
are safe.  After this proceedure, my Nutscrape came up without a problem with
my plugin's, and I think my bookmarks also.  You might want to back-up your
bookmark file first though.

[newbie] Installation Problems

[Congdon, Christopher]

I've been trying install the Secure Server Edition of Mandrake 7.0 (That's
the Macmillan Publishing version I bought at CompUSA).

The system I'm installing to is an Intergraph TD-4. It's a Dual Pentium 90
with 96MB RAM. It has NCR SCSI (I'm not sure what chipset). with a Toshiba
CD-ROM [ID4], a Conner 1.0GB [ID1], and a Micropolis 4.3GB [ID0]. It has a
built-in NIC, but I have no clue what it is... (I know, I really need to
take a closer look at the motherboard...)

Anyways, the problem with installing is actually the video card. Originally,
it had a Diamond Stealth 64 DRAM PCI. The install got all the way to the
last step, Configuring X.
It then spit out an error that said it couldn't find Server_S3. I replace
the vid card with a PCI Trident Chipset, and I also tried another with a PCI
Tseng Chipset. Both times, I resinstalled completely, and got to the same
spot at the end and got back that it couldn't find Server_SVGA.

Any ideas? Are these vid cards just so cheesey that they won't work or
something? I'm not to keen on digging up a higher-end PCI vid card for
something that is just bascially going to sit around and be a minor web
server for me

Re: [newbie] using kpackage to upgrade netscape

[Mike & Tracy Holt]

If you use kpackage, you need to make sure that it doesn't check
dependencies or else it will just complain.  You already know that each
package depends on each other, so go ahead and uncheck that box; I'm not
sure what files are being replaced when you check 'replace files', so I like
to leave that unchecked - you can always delete later if you don't want
something laying around.

Re: [newbie] Netscape hangs linux - follow up

[Herman R.willett]

Hi:

I had this same problem (actualy it happens often).  The solution is to telnet
in to the linux box that appeas to be hunk, then

su


ps -e | grep scape

then after obtaining the process id for netscakp, issue a 

kill 

or 

kill -k 

After this, things return to normal on my linux box.

Re: [newbie] browser

[Mike & Tracy Holt]

You don't need the '--force' option, just put the three files in one
directory and type 'rpm -Uvh *.rpm' and there won't be a dependency problem
because you're installing all at the same time.

*note*  If you install Netscape 128 bit version, it doesn't allow you to
install both communicator and navigator, navigator is built into
communicator.  You'll need to uninstall the old navigator and just install
the common and communicator packages - confusing?  This may also be the case
with the standard version, I haven't tried (I'm using the 128 bit version).
Try using all three packages first, and if you have a problem installing,
try leaving out the navigator package.

[newbie] using kpackage to upgrade netscape

[Harold Hartley]

Hi, I have tried to upgrade netscape from 4.70 to 4.72 on my linux..

on my kpackage I had the upgrade checked and replace packages checked
and also check depends also...
I go to install and it complains about the stuff needed for the 4.70
stuff...

should I also check replace files too with kpackage to install the
netscape 4.72 files...

[newbie] QuakeII mouse problem

[David Hester]

Hey all,

I am running mandrake 7.0.. and gotten everything installed.. I am dual
booting between win98 and linux.
I decided to get my quake II game running on the linux side... so I linked
/usr/local/games/quake2\base2q to the windows partition. so that seems to
work I then the quake2 binaries.. and the 3dfx binaries.. all works well
(except I can only get my 3dfx to work while I am root) that I know is a
permissions problems... but the only Thing I can't get working is the
mouse.. I have a microsoft mouse with scroll wheel.
I have modified the libvga.conf in the /etc/vga/ folder .. and have tried
the settings for microsoft,PS/2, Intellimouse..

I also have run the XF86Setup.. and played with the different mice settings
there...even playing with the settings there I noticed the scroll wheel
didn't register..
Does anyone have a mouse with a scroll wheel working?.. is it a setup driver
or setup I need to run?
Also when modifing the libvga.conf... do I have to reboot linux for that to
take effect I am still unsure of how linux handles start up and config
files..

Thanks
David

[newbie] Mandrake and large hard Drive on 486

[jflanaga]

Thanks in Advance,

 I have Mandrake 6.1.  I'm wanting to put it on my IBM ValuePoint 486 DX66.
I have a 1.2Gig hard drive that I want to use for the system.  The bios doesn't
support
High capacity Hard Drives.  I've read somewhere (which was full of bad links)
that you don't need Overlay software to make the bios recognize the hard drive
if you use Linux.
My cd-rom on the 486 is not bootable.  I also have a k-6 350 with cd-rom, which
will boot, except that I get corruption when I try to dual boot with it(another
long story).

 Can anyone tell me if there's a way to install Linux on a 127MB disk then
install Mandrake onto the large drive?

 Another question that might help, is there a small distrabution that has
network card support and will communicate with a WIN98 machine over a network?

 Maybe this is a better way of putting it:

PC 1  Aptiva with CD-ROM and CD-RW running win98FE, ethernet card 10/100

PC2 Valuepoint 486 with 127 mb hard drive *recognized*, 20mb hardcard
*recognized* 1.2GB hard drive *not recognized*  currently running WIN3.1
 CD-ROM or eithernet card can be added.   But CD-ROM isn't a boot device.

I'm quite confused on how I should install Linux on the 486.

[newbie] loadlin

[Herve ROMANO]

I'm using Linux Mandrake 7.0 at work and I would like to stay hidden. A floppy disk 
boot is possible but a boot from DOS using loadlin would be better.

So I made the standard manipulation :
1 - Logged as root and in a console window :
cp /boot/vmlinuz-2.2.14-15mdk /dev/DOS_hda1/dossiers/linux/vmlinuz
2 - I made that ".bat" file under DOS:
   @echo off
   smartdrv /C
   c:\dossiers\linux\loadlin c:\dossiers\linux\vmlinuz root=/dev/hda7

But the system hangs after few seconds of booting. Everything works fine until the 
line"autorun done". But the following lines are:
Attempt to access beyond end of the device
... (a lot of error lines concerning the device)
Kernel panic ... etc ...

And then I need to reboot.

If I use the "-d" option the only message is :
Uncompressing Linux 
CRC error
-- System halted

(nothing else)

What's wrong? Everything works well with a normal boot with Lilo or with the floppy.

The configuration is 1 HD with a primary partition used by dos (C: = hda1) and an 
extended one with two logical drives for DOS (D: = hda5, E: = hda6) and then the linux 
partitions.

Second question :
To restore a normal boot (without lilo), is the command line "fdisk /mbr" (under dos)? 
I'm not sure of that thing because the last time I installed and used linux was in 
1996 (it was faster with my old 486-66MHz/8Mo than today with that PIII-450MHz/64Mo!) 
and I don't want to crash the thing (it's not my computer).

Thanks

Thanks Rial,

The curious thing is that the thing has run great for so long until I installed
7.0-2 to get some new features I wanted.  The disk cache makes a lot of sense except
that the machine was left in this "hung" mode for several hours last night until I
got home to check it out.  I wonder if it is possible that something might be
interupting the disk write (several people have sugested Java in Netscape)

Things to ponder

Sounds like your DNS or routing is wrong.  

If your straight dialin and use kppp go to the DNS setup tab and put your ISP's DNS

Re: [newbie] browser

[Rial Juan]

Oh, please. Never ever give someone the advice to use --force with rpm. I
totally screwed up my old redhat 5.2 that way, about a year ago.

Instead, identify and download the package that would satisfy these dependencies
and install it first. Or just put 'em on the same line alltogether like this:
rpm -Uvh netscape-file dependency-file

I would NOT use Lnx4Win on any CPU.  If you have a crash in Win you will

NOT good.  If you use the 'lilo', which is the BEST, you install
Linux/Mandrake to a seperate Partition.  Lnx4Win is installed PIGGY
BACKED on Win is the best explanation I can give.  It is NOT in a

Re: [newbie] xterm not refreshing correctly

[nodyak0]

I am sure you have tried using some of the other window managers.  I have
found that the 'Icewm' is very easy to use and can move around very easy.
 A different windows manager may give you a clue on this prob.  If it is
repeatable in a different manager then it is system wide if not it is
just in kde or which ever one you use mostly.

Re: [newbie] Network Neighborhood equivalent

[Bernardo Rodrigues]

Steven,

Look for LinuxNeighborhood on the Net. It somehow appears to be similar to Net Neigh 
of Windows. However you'll need samba running and the samba clients installed. I'll 
search my backups and see whether I have a copy for you.

i did the install with the low level of security.  is there any way to
get the security lower than that?  all i really need is access as root,
that would be ok with me.  any suggestions?

Sorry Seth I really don't know that much. I learn a lot by trial and error. In
other words I fool around with my system until I screw something up. Then I
reinstall and start over. I should get a life :)
My guess, check the install log in the root home directory and look for
errors.  But I don't know how to fix them :(

Check the mail archives for newbie.  I think you need the no_accel
option in XF96Config.  There might be other work arounds tho.

Assuming  this is an x problem, try booting in init 3 (linux 3
at the boot prompt).  this will get you in in a terminal mode.  Perhpas you
can make adjustments there.  Try running XF86Setup.

[newbie] Lnx4Win

[Louis D. Imershein]

Hi folks,

I'm trying to use Lnx4Win to install Mandrake on my windows laptop, 
but not having any luck.  It complains about not being able to access
root device 08:01.  Any ideas what I might be doing wrong?  Hardware
is a Micron TransPort ZX, running Windows 98.

thanks in advance for any help,
