[newbie] OpenGL for NVidia cards?
Hi all! Just read the Quake II how-to. I'm wondering, why in Linux OpenGL is only for 3dFX cards, where it is (IMHO) poorly implemented, and not for NVidia's Riva TNT2? I have the latter, that's why it's so frustating... Is there any plans to make OpenGL for TNT2? If the question is stupid, I'm sorry. :-) Thanks, -- Koly
Re: [newbie] freewwweb
I use freewwweb as my provider (one of them) and have never had any problems (though they are not as reliable I think as www.worldshare.net ). Are you sure you have your user name and password configured right. Remember that the user name for freewwweb is your email address, for example [EMAIL PROTECTED] It will not work unless all of this is in the user field. If this is not your problem, let now and we'll take it from there. Caleb - Original Message - From: M. L.

[newbie] freewwweb
I am trying to use 'freewwweb' as my linux ISP. I have entered both of my DNS numbers and I believe I have KPPP configured correctly. I have previously used KPPP with a regular ISP with no problem. However as soon as I connect I get a PAP authentication error. I have confirmed both my user name and password with 'freewwweb' and they are correct. I might also add the I have tried using windows dial-up networking and I get a similar response --- it tells me to verify my password and try again. Does anyone have any suggestions on this?

Well, for starters, if you got the boxed version of Mandrake, you may have the rpm version already. check out the 5th and 6th cd's, if you've got them. If not, check out www.rpmfind.net to find 'em. If you are bound and determined to use the tarball you downloaded, then put it in /tmp, then from that directory, type 'tar xvfz some.file.name.tar.gz' This will cause some text to fly by; the stuff at the far left is the new directory that the tarball unpacked into. For more information, try 'info tar' or 'info gzip'. P.S. I think I'd recommend the rpm files, as I found a cool one on the CD's that basically acts as the plugin that allows netscape under linux to view pdf files inline.

Re: [newbie] installing acrobat reader
Kpackage is for .rpm files. For the tar.gz file you will need to run tar -xzvf This will untar the file and from there you will need to run the install for the linux version of AR. Do you know xpdf can also read .pdf files and is packaged with linux?

[newbie] Netatalk and Mandrake 7
I would greatly appreciate help getting netatalk to work with Mandrake 7. Netatalk is *NOT* included on the ISO image; I therefore downloaded the version referenced on the Mandrake WWW site. It appeared to install correctly, and actually runs. However, it seems to NOT properly use the password file, perhaps because of the shadow password system. That is, I can connect as a Guest user, but not as any named user requiring a password. Thank you very much, David
RE: Re(4): [newbie] need KDE login screenshots....
That doesn't seem to be working for me. I hit to switch to a new terminal, and then I login. Then when I type "startx -- :2" it gives me a list of the options, which I figure is because I never really give it an option with the space between the "-" and ":". So, I then tried "startx --:2", but then that gives me this: -- Fatal server error: Server is already active for display 0 If this server is no longer running, remove /tmp/.X0-lock and start again. When reporting a problem related to a server crash, please send the full server output, not just the last messages Then it hangs, and I have to hit c to bring back the prompt. And no I do not have a ".XO-lock" file in /tmp. The same exact thing also happens with "startx --: 2" or "startx -- : 2" (notice the slight changes in spacing) if that would affect it any. I know I've gotten two X sessions going at once before, but apparently I didn't do it the way you instructed. > startx -- :2 > Good try though! > -=Ron=- > > > -Original Message- > From: Paul [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED]] > Sent: Tuesday, May 09, 2000 2:44 PM > To: [EMAIL PROTECTED] > Subject: Re: Re(4): [newbie] need KDE login screenshots > > > On Tue, 9 May 2000, Dave Lers wrote: > > I think when you log in on tty2, you can run a second X session by running > > startx : --2 > > or something along those lines.

[newbie] Installing SCSI card
I've been trying to get this SCSI card installed completely for a long time. I am just being introduced to Linux and only know how to navigate and edit files. I don't really understand the relationship between all the different conf files. I really need detailed instructions on how to do this. I am using Mandrake 6.1. I inserted a Adaptec 2940UW SCSI controller connected to an AIWA Travan 20 Tape Drive. 1. When linux boots up, no SCSI host detected. 2. I entered "modprobe aic7xxx" Which seemed to have done something. When I look at the "dmesg" I see that the Card is found and the tape drive as /dev/st0 3. How do I may sure it is working? I entered "mt -f /dev/st0 status" and I get some info on the tape drive. 4. However when I try any other tape command: mt -f /dev/st0 erase" or "mt -f /dev/st0 rewind" I get the command line again and nothing happened. I just want some movement on the tape so I know it's working. 5. Can someone give me a bunch of commands to try. This is a new tape, so I don't care it it is formatted or erased. 6. One other thing. When the machine is rebooted, the module is gone and I have to do the modprobe again. Anyway of installing the module during bootup. I tried "depmod" but I just am not getting the command structure right. I don't quite understand what all the options mean. So if someone can help me out here also. I appreciate any help for this newbie. Pat

[newbie] Executing files from Xterm
I just installed Mandrake Linux 7.0, and it seems great except for a very fundamental and frustrating problem. This is a very simple vanilla unix command line question, but it is not behaving like the unix I'm used to. When I select a subdirectory (e.g.: /home/ted/devapp/bin/), I am able to see a script called configure that I want to run. Now, I can see the file is there by ls . , e.g.: [root@schucky bin]# ls -l configure -rwxrwxrwx 1 root root 962 May 2 19:28 configure* [root@schucky bin]# ls -l ./configure -rwxrwxrwx 1 root root 962 May 2 19:28 ./configure* but I get an error when I try to execute it from the same prompt: [root@schucky bin]# ./configure bash: ./configure: No such file or directory Now what could I possibly be missing? The file is there, but when I try to execute it from the command like I get this bizarre 'not found' error. I have *got* to be missing something very fundamental...please clue me in. Thanks!!!

[newbie] DVD-Rom not working
I installed Mandrake 7.0 on my P3-500 with all sorts of goodies and somehow managed to get everything working except the ATAPI Sony DVD-Rom drive. I found that the 2.2.14 kernel does not yet support DVDs but I thought that it could still access it as a CD-Rom drive. During boot-up, I get a status message that it's an unknown device. The message spells out that it's an ATAPI drive type 17 but it can't access it. The strange part is that this is the same drive that I used to boot up the Mandrake Linux CD and run the install and the install even added a mount entry for it in /etc/fstab. Any ideas on what might be going wrong here? Thanks in advance, Glen

RE: [newbie] No freakin clue?!?!?
Hmm... one of the generic ways to just change video resolutions and test it is by typing: 'Ctrl-Alt-+' for increasing resolutions, and 'Ctrl-Alt--' for decreasing resolutions. DrakConf should allow you to change your resolution from there also. If none of these options work, let me know and I'll give you some better help on modifying the config files. You might also try running 'xf86config' from the console and try re-configuring X.

Kathleenpoint taken :-) Sorry, I got irritated because she wouldn't shut up about SuSE and didn't seem to want any help with Mandrake.

How do you mean providing internet access to linux. if you are talking of having a shell account I think you will be lucky to find one, but if you are after just a normal account then any ISP can be used with linux, just like it can with windoze.

Re: [newbie] watch what you say
I think that I can say, with 99% certantity, that the filtering "problem" which occured is connectted to Mandrake or to this list. Did anyone take the time to go to www.tux.com before becoming outraged? I did. TUX is a Utility company. They sell electricity,natural gas and other related products and services. So what we have is someone on this list who works for Tux and is sending and receiving newbie while at work, and Tux is perfectly within their rights to filter all incoming and out going e-mail their employees receive while at work. WolfRyder. Ease off on the indignation it was nothing you did or said , and was not caused by this list. A word or phrase you used was on Tux watch list and because your address shows as From: in the Mail-Info you were sent an automatted response. Just let it go and forget about it.

You'll have better luck if you move the modem to COM1 or COM2.

Re: [newbie] CD-RW Support problem/?...URGENT
Michael, That burner should work OK. If it is SCSI there won't be a problem. If it is IDE you will probably have to turn on SCSI emulation in the kernel (if it isn't already). I think all burners should work ok with possible exceptions of the TDK VeloCD and an external USB burners.

Re: [newbie] Modem Help
I've discovered that, when you enter win98 and check
in the system properties for your modem, if it states
the modem as being HCF, then it is controllerless and
will not work with Linux...

Re: [newbie] Modem Help
Marc
ttyS3 is the right setting but the modem is on Conn 5 not Conn 4.
Did you run # cat /proc/pci ? It will give you a listing of all the PCI
cards on your computer and you will need the the IRQ and I/O listed under
Communication Controler to enter 2 more commands and to edit your rc.serial
file.
If you have not done this respond back and I will give you detailed info.

Carol, A quick search reveals that ChineseWall is an email filtering program and that TXU is the Texas Utilities Co. The most likely explanation is that someone at TXU is on the linux-Mandrake mail list and their company is filtering / scanning their incoming email and then sending the originator a warning / notice. I know, sounds childish but that's business. They didn't single you out, they are just being paranoid. Note to whomever is out there from TXU, chew on this. XXX tra care has been taken not to offend. This author fully supports anti - pornography efforts and has on occasion pulled the plug from the offensive unit. Perhaps you might consider re-evaluating some of your catch phrases or at least review your "archive" log and send apologies to those such as Carol who were truly offended. -- Joseph S.

I don't know the answer the your problem but you may want to go out to http://geheimnis.sourceforge.net and try geheimnis.

Roach, Type X-configurator at the prompt in command mode and you will be take you step by step through the procedure of setting up your vid card monitor and res.

Re: [newbie] Printer newbie help!
Andrew, Sorry to be so long before replying to your email. I've got an Epson 740 running beautifully on my Mdk 6.1 system. I got a driver for the 740 from http://lcewww.et.tudelft.nl/~haver/linux/epson.html. If you're still having some trouble, you might give this driver a shot.

Re: [newbie] watch what you say on this list
This "filtering" isn't done by Mandrake, but by someone's site who is subscribed to the list. I've gotten a couple back from the same site myself, related to some oddball word they considered "forbidden". Just blow them off as paranoid. They're free to run their site any way they feel. I think the Mandrake site archives all the maillist messages. But not all sites archive all their mail. We sure don't. The warning message only comes back to the person who originally sent the message, not to the list, so they aren't really singling out anyone other than the poor sucker on the list who isn't getting these filter messages. Michael >This is news to me. Not good news either. > >Not that I'm trying to be sarcastic, but isn't all mail archived anyway?
