this whole thing baffles me because i got one a while back and i did not know it would 
draw this whole issue up about key words like porn and hate words. it only sent me 
back for the word porn though.

In the new versions of al distributions the problem should be fixed. It
includes the Xfree servers version 3.3 or higher.

[newbie] Is there any way to make the mouse smoother?

[Chen, PeterX]

I finally got Mandrake up and running!  Love the Window managers

Is there anyone I can make my mouse move smoother?  I've tried the
accelerate and threshold settings.  They don't seem to do the trick.  The
mouse is so smooth in Win2K.  Is there any way I can get my mouse to perform
the same way in linux?  Can I set the mouse resolution like you can in
Win2k? (setting it at 100Hz).

Re: [newbie] Installed SuSE yesterday

[Alan Shoemaker]

Caroldo you purposely state things in a obfuscatory
manner.  In your original post you talked about fiddling
around instead of telling us what it was you actually
attempted to do.  In both posts you've never said what
/size/brand/model of monitor you have or what you see (black
screen, fuzzy image, white but no visible image) when it
doesn't work.  In this post you tell us you've got a tiny
drive, but not what size it actually is.  It's as if you don't
really want help, just a place to tell people about your linux
adventure.

How about some facts and/or some detailed descriptions of your
actions in the next post.

Re: [newbie] graphical instalation

this might help. when you insert mandrake it goes into its installation and it looks 
like it will be a text based install. wait for a little while before turning your 
computer off. make sure you pick the graphical installation also.

No problem. There you have :

And not far from there, you also have the patches for the other loki games
(heretic, railroadtycoon II, myth2, ...)
You d/l the patch, run it (as root if you want to install the stuff in
/usr/local/games/quake3), then you replace the quake3/baseq3/pak0.pk3 by
the one that stands on your Quake CD. Note that if don't have enough place
or don't want to waste it, you can just make a symlink ;-) (but it takes
more time to load the game and the arena's, of course)
If your GL drivers are correctly installed, you just type :
cd /usr/local/games/quake3
./quake3

[newbie] watch what you say on this list

[WolfRyder]

Following is a copy of an email I am sending to the "filtering" site that 
linux-mandrake uses. This is in reference to the email thread about 
"Parental Control".

I received an email just now saying my email was " inappropriate subject 
matter ". It was logged by you. I don't understand why, though. I was 
answering an email on a listserv of which I am a member and we were 
discussing filtering software for Linux as opposed to parental monitoring.

I don't understand why I was singled out for this type of monitoring when 
the other people the list used the same word as I, but were not censured 
(as far as I know).

You can bet I won't be discussing the merits of software filtering on that 
list again. If they use this service to strike fear in the hearts of it's 
participants when discussing possible writing of filtering options, it's 
not a site I wish to respond to at all.

I am therefore unsubscribing right now.

Com1 and Com3 are traditionally IRQ4.

[newbie] S3 Trio 3D video

[Victor Richardson]

Back in Feb. & March I tried to install Mandrake 7.0 on a Netfinity 3000
server (PII 450, 128 megs, etc.) with a S3 Trio 3D video and never was
able to get X working at all. From what I understand, there wasn't any
stable driver available at the time. I don't need high end graphics,
just enough to do basic server and file tasks within X.

Does anyone know if this problem has been solved, or, any simple work
arounds (my skills are very limited)? Please feel free to direct me to
any possible information sources.

There is a problem with rev 1.1 motherboards (a sticker on bac near the ISA

Re: [newbie] Quake

[Glenn Johnson]

I have the registered version CD. (Quake 1). There's a Quake how-to in the 'how-to's' 
(on the Linux cd's and all over the web) that provides flawless guidance. Only trouble 
I had was getting my mouse to
work the way I WANT it to. It did work by default, just not the way I like it. The 
Quake how-to tells you how to install the game and what you need to download, and how 
to unpack and configure what you
downloaded.

If you have the game on cd and want help, lemme know

[newbie] Boot Disk, Instructions for Use?

[John Wenger]

Would someone please direct me to online instructions for
using a Mandrake boot disk on Mandrake 7.0?  Even better
would be instructions here on how to use one.

I just made a boot disk using 

mkbootdisk 

where  was taken from the output of uname -a.

I rebooted from the floppy, and typed "rescue" at the lilo
prompt,

and got the response:

Kernel Panic: No init found: Try passing init=option to
kernel.

I am not sure what this means, and don't know how to
proceed.

I suspect that I can research this by reading up on lilo,
but booting from a floppy does seem like a newbie kind of
question, right?

I RTFM and found nothing relevant in the Table of Contents
of either the User or Reference Manual for 7.0.

TIA,

John

Re: [newbie] Modem Help

Is your Viking modem an external  or internal modem? The problem that
Linux has with modems is not with drivers but in knowing where to find the
modem.What problem are you having?
As for your friend there is nothing that he can do that will let his
winmodem work in Linux. I understand that their are people trying to work
out ways for  winmodems in Linux. One such being linmodem.org, but I have

RE: [newbie] Correction to my earlier post!!!

[Jose M. Sanchez]

Do you have only one drive in your computer?

If so type "fdisk /dev/hda" from the console prompt in Linux.

I.E.

# fdisk /dev/hda

The number of cylinders for this disk is set to 1027.
There is nothing wrong with that, but this is larger than 1024,
and could in certain setups cause problems with:
1) software that runs at boot time (e.g., LILO)
2) booting and partitioning software from other OSs
   (e.g., DOS FDISK, OS/2 FDISK)

Command (m for help): p

Disk /dev/hda: 255 heads, 63 sectors, 1027 cylinders
Units = cylinders of 16065 * 512 bytes

   Device BootStart   EndBlocks   Id  System
/dev/hda1   * 126208813+   6  FAT16
/dev/hda227  1027   8040532+   5  Extended
/dev/hda52730 32098+  83  Linux
/dev/hda631  1027   8008371   83  Linux

Command (m for help):

---
(q gets you out safely...)


Notice I typed the "P" command to see what the partitions are on the hard
drive.

If you see a /dev/hda1 with a "System" type of something OTHER than Linux,
Swap or Extended, then your Winblows installation is still there...

Try booting from a DOS floppy disk to double check.

If you can see the C: drive from a DOS floppy boot, you merely need to
modify Lilo to allow you to boot Windows.

If on the otherhand you see a Swap, Linux or Extended entry for /dev/hda1,
then you have overwritten your Windows installation while installing
Linux/Mandrake.

RE: [newbie] Can't Install

[Jose M. Sanchez]

If you have your CD set up on the IDE channel, either Master or Slave on
Channel 0 or 1, Mandrake -SHOULD- detect it.

Note however that there are a few "generic" CD_ROM's which do not identify
themselves as such.

Mandrake will be unable to detect these as CD devices.

This is a problem with the hardware, NOT with Mandrake, as the device is not
identifying itself as a CD-ROM...

This sounds like what you are seeing...

RE: [newbie] Modem Help

[Jose M. Sanchez]

You don't need "drivers" if it not a winmodem.

Merely set up the modem on a COM port, either COM1 or COM2 to make things
easier for you...

If you have on board serial ports on the motherboard, you might have to
disable one in Bios... then set the modem to use the same one.

It is preferable to set the modem up for COM2.

If you have done all of this, then use Drakconf to set the symbolic link
from the actual device to the modem...

I.E.

/dev/ttyS1 ---> /dev/modem for COM2:

or

/dev/ttyS0 ---> /dev/modem for COM1:

That's it.

Hi Derek.

Have I got you right, you have booted from floppy?
If so, why haven't you booted from the first CD? That's the way I did it, I

Hopefully this helps you!!!

It is an IRC thing. You have to tell NICKSERV that you want to register

japanese writing.  Sorry I can not be of more help.

To be honest I am not too impressed with it.  Maybe when an approved version comes
out it will have a wider range of fonts.  Also when I load up a page from my working
directory it insists on placing some korean writing at the top of the document and
sometimes in between.Do you have the same problem or have you fixed it.

If it is a motherboard with a VIA chip-set and you installed a Athlon
CPU there are anywhere from 2 to 4 BIOS patches that you need to install. I
was lucky with mine its manufacture date was recent enough that all the
patches were on the included CD.

RE: [newbie] CD Rom not accessible

[Ron Greer]

Well, it depends on what all you have in your system.
/dev/hdd is used for the secondary slave device you have installed.
Is there any chance that it may be /dev/hdc or /dev/hdb ?
Also, check to see if maybe it's already mounted somewhere (do a 'df' and
see if you see /dev/hdx anywhere [with the exception of probably hda])
I'm also assuming this is an IDE cdrom...
If not, you may try mounting /dev/scd0 or /dev/sg0 (scsi cdrom and scsi
generic respectively).

Thanks for all of your help and quick responses!!!
The /dev/hdd doesn't work at all for any type of disk.  I've tried music 
cd,
linux-mandrake 7.0 install cd, and a dos cd, none work with /dev/hdd.
The /dev/cdrom mount I spoke of before accesses the floppy drive.  I
just don't understand what's going on.

My previous post:
On my first boot into the system, there were 2 problems:
1.)  I noticed that LILO only gave me two optons: 
- linux
- dos
The 2 choices should be changed to:

- linux
- floppy

Sorry about the mistake.  I was in a frantic mood after realizing that LILO
didn't have an option for dos.

I'm posting this using SuSE 6.4 (I've run Mandrake 7.02, on my main machine,
since it was released) and I'm surprised that you found it easier. I've tried
every recent distro on my back-up machine and Mandrake 7.02 is still the
easiest to install and configure.

Re: [newbie] Installed SuSE yesterday

[Alan Shoemaker]

Carolyou haven't given us (the folks who try to help here)
a chance to assist you in fixing your problem.  You just
dashed in here and announced that you were switching to SuSE,
because Mandrake doesn't support your video card (which is
totally untrue).  How about a better (more detailed)
description of your problem with your x configuration, so we
can help you to get Mandrake running?

I for one am not here to read about how happy you are with
SuSE.  If you "gave up" then why are you still here?  If you
haven't given up then let's see if we can fix the problem. 
You've seen KDE now, so you can uninstall SuSE and reinstall
Mandrake, so we can get on with it  :-)

Alan

P.S. A wild guess might be that you have a monitor that
doesn't have correct synch figures in the data base and we
might need to use another monitor selection (or enter the
synch rates manually) to get things working for you.

RE: [newbie] VERION 7.1 PROBLEM

Well, The rtl8139 driver is not working at all. This is also funny because I
used the epic100 driver at a few different distributions and there the
driver is working.

When I load the epic100 driver he displays the correct IRQ and IO address.

Something else I could check?

[newbie] Can't Install

[Higgs, Derek (Derek)** CTR **]

Hi,
I am new to the world of Linux. I just purchase LINUX-Mandrake 7.0 deluxe
and it tells me to install from the floppy. I am attempting to setup my
machine to duel boot(Linux / Win 98). It does not recognize my cd rom and I
can't go any furhter.  It asks me whether I have a SCSI or Other.  I choose
other because I have and IDE.  It then shows me a list of manufactures, my
brand is not listed.  I chose the last option which said ide... and it asked
me for a module.  I have a generic brand IDE cd rom (Brand Name: AFREEY
Speed: 50X) I have a ASUS motherboard Pent III 550mhz with 128mg ram. Your
immediate help will be greatly appreciated. 

God Bless,

7.1 is a beta version not a stable version. You shouldn't use it in
production.

Re: [newbie] Configuration

[flupke]

Type netconf at a root prompt.
You can also do it with linuxconf.

Or if you are new to linux and like mental masturbation, you can do it
with the "modprobe", "ifconfig" and "route" commands. It's really
interresting and instructive, but it may sound like a waste of time if you
don't want to spend several hours understanding how it all works.

I agree.  I have Freesco running as my gateway right now, and I have an
old terminal set up so I can watch the dns queries out of the corner of
my eye as I am working in my computer/electronics/reloading/hobby room. 
Definitely has came in handy.  If I see a disturbing site name come up,
I check it out.  If it is objectional, well, that was the last time
anyone in this household will ever see it on my network.  Perhaps a bit
high-handed, but then I am the one responsible for making sure that
society gets a quality product in another 4 yrs, and I think this will
help steer towards that path.

[newbie] urgente!!!

[Eduardo Arauz]

buenas lista, tengo 3 problemas fundamentales con mi nueva instalacion de 
mandrake 7.0 los cuales son:

1 sonido: acabo de cambiar mi makina a un board nuevo con un procesador de 
500 mhz AMD k6 II y el sonido viene integrado al igual que el video. bien, 
linux reconoce el sonido del board integrado pero a la hora del test en 
sndconfig me sale un mensaje de error a la hora de hacer el test... es una 
linea larga q termina en algo como .so
como si no encontrara algo para poder hacer sonar la tarjeta.

2. montaje de cd rom: a pesar de tener (creo yo ) todo bien puesto en el 
fstab, al momento de tratar de montar algun cd  en mi cd rom o cd-R me sale 
otro error que dice que no se puede montar en el registro especificado o 
algo similar. ( tengo una particion de 700 mega formato FAT 16 para 
compartirla con windows y esa particion no esta formateada.. un amigo dice 
q es ese el problema.. no se)

3. conexion mediante PPP: a pesar de que en el tty1, me reconoce el modem y 
manda comunicacion, al momento de tratr de marcar a mi ISP el demonio se 
queda colgado en "inicializando modem" y de ahi tengo que reiniciar el 
Xwindow para poder seguir trabajando...

Por favor es urgente si alguien puede brindarme algun tipo de ayuda en 
estos problemas ya que pronto estare trabajando en eso en mi trabajo y 
necesito tener el linux a punto en mi casa. gracias!

a .sh file is a shell-script. .gz.sh means: it's compressed (.gz) and it's
executable from the shell (.sh) --> a self-extracting archive I suppose. Anyway,
to run it, simply do this:

  sh filename.gz.sh

or make it executable (chmod +x filename.gz.sh) and then run it like this:
  ./filename.gz.sh

and it should start installing.

The /dev/hdd doesn't work at all for any type of disk.  I've tried music

linux-mandrake 7.0 install cd, and a dos cd, none work with /dev/hdd.
The /dev/cdrom mount I spoke of before accesses the floppy drive.  I

Re: [newbie] D-Link 220-P network card not recognised

All I know about this card is that I ran it as a "ne-2000 compatible" last
year. Choose that driver, then fill in the right settings if it doesn't
autodetect, and it *should* work.

Re: [newbie] NEED HELP!

dos is the other OS.  That is what LILO refers to it as.  Don't worry just

Hey all,

I just got my Mandrake PowerPack and just completed the installation
process.  I installed linux onto a system that was running Windows 2000
Advanced Server.  The system has 2 hard disks and I used the Drax
"recommended" mode to do my install.  I didn't get a chance to pick which
hard drive to install linux on (so I'm assuming it installed it on the same
hard drive as my Windows OS).

On my first boot into the system, there were 2 problems:
1.)  I noticed that LILO only gave me two optons:
- linux
- dos
HUH?!  Oh GOD!!  Where is my other OS??!  I'm going to cry now.  Where is
the "dos" option in LILO?  Doesn't LILO detect a Windows OS and include that
as one of it's options?  Someone please help me with this one.

2.) (as if it weren't bad enough already!) My KDM fails to start!!!  I got
the regular console login.  The X configuration went fine during the install
process.  I get this error:

kdm: error in loading shared libraries: libqt.so.1: cannot open shared objet
file: No such file or directory.

HUH?!  In fact, when I do log on via console mode, if I let my system sit
there for several minutes without doing anything, the same error pops onto
the screen again.  What is causing this problem?  Can someone at least point
me toward a direction?  Or do I have to format, reinstall Windows 2000 and
all the servers that ran on it and burn my Mandrake  A!

Sniff sniff,

Peter

not sure if i can tell you how to fix your kdm issue but i can tell you that
lilo recognizes all versions of dos and windows as being dos. you should

[newbie] Linux 2.2.15 breaks rpc.nfsd in Mandrake-7.0 x86?

Subject says it all. Compiled and installed the new kernel (Yes, with NFS
compiled in). Now "/etc/rc.d/init.d/nfs start" pretty much fails and I

Do I need to upgrade my user-side nfs utils for correct interoperability

[newbie] quick question about blackbox on mandrake 7.02

[freeman]

I finally got a proper install on my low-end mandrake box
and I decided, because it is a slower machine, I would use 
blackbox X session to speed things up.  I actually enjoy 
using it and appreciate the opinions I got on this 
channel.  I do have one quick question though.  I went to
the Blackbox web site and downloaded a couple of themes
to spruce up the desktop.  But they don't tell what dir to 
tar to or how to get them into the menu bar.  Any help 
would be appreciated.

Re: [newbie] OT - Quake

[flupke]

No problem. There you have :
ftp://ftp.lokigames.com/pub/patches/quake3/linuxq3apoint-1.16n.x86.run

And not far from there, you also have the patches for the other loki games
(heretic, railroadtycoon II, myth2, ...)
You d/l the patch, run it (as root if you want to install the stuff in
/usr/local/games/quake3), then you replace the quake3/baseq3/pak0.pk3 by
the one that stands on your Quake CD. Note that if don't have enough place
or don't want to waste it, you can just make a symlink ;-) (but it takes
more time to load the game and the arena's, of course)
If your GL drivers are correctly installed, you just type :
cd /usr/local/games/quake3
./quake3
And then... YOU FRAG, YOU SHOOT, YOU KILL! :-)))

Re: [newbie] network configuration on boot

[flupke]

If netconf doesn't do it automatically (but it should!), add the line :
   alias eth0 3c509
in your /etc/conf.modules file to have the module automatically loaded by 
kerneld.

You can add the other lines in your /etc/rc.d/init.d/network file.
