Re: [newbie] KDE 2.0 and stock 7.1

2000-10-26 Thread Sridhar Dhanapalan

I managed to successfully install KDE2 over an installation of Mandrake 7.0. 
Whenever I got a message of unsatisfied dependencies when trying to install 
the KDE2 RPMs, I looked up the files and packages up at rpmfind.net and then 
downloaded the latest Mandrake cooker versions.

 I have been reading the posts from Mandrake users working on the
 installation of KDE 2.0.  I have downloaded all the KDE rpm files, as
 well as the recommended menu, Mandrake_Desk, Open SSL, qt2, and pam.  menu
 wants the new rpm, which I downloaded.  However, when I try to install the
 new rpm, it lists the following unsatisfied dependencies:

 glibc= 2.1.92
 rpmlib
 libbz2.so.1
 libc.so.6
 rpmlib

 Since I had not heard mention of these in the previous posts, I thought I
 would check to be sure I'm on the right track.  If so, it might be helpful
 to create a "full" list of required files (and the order of installation) 
 for those Mandrake users who wish to upgrade to KDE 2.0 on a "stock"
 version of Mandrake 7.1.  It probably wouldn't be too difficult a task for
 someone who had sucessfully completed the process.

 Surely there are - or will be - many of us doing the conversion (at least
 until 7.2 is available).

[newbie] helix code installation problems

2000-10-26 Thread Michael Dolan

Hi I currently have mandrake 7.1 and I tried to install helix code. Its
works fine till i get to the packages list, it says that it can not retreive
packages.xml.

When I look in the console window,the install program is looking for the
file under caldera folder. I have no idea why but it does.

I was wondering if anyone else has had the same problem and if, so how do i
manage to fix it?  apart from downloading the files manually

[newbie] X11 R4 installation on LM7.1

2000-10-26 Thread Paul Kaplan

When I installed LM7.1, I chose to install X11 R3.3.6 (Hey it 
worked and 4.0 was still new).  Some of the KDE2 packages have 
lib dependencies in X11 R4.01.

Before I bugger up my X installation, I want to solicit advice on 
upgrading from 3.3.6 to 4.01 using rpm.

What is the best way to go about this (using rpm)?

TIA

Any ideas how to restore KDE as a working option?

2000-10-26 Thread Brian K. Garel

Mike,

You could check your processes and grep for httpd or you can try to locate
the httpd.conf file...if it is version 7.1 then it is 1.3.12...soemthing
and there would also be a /home/httpd/html dir and that is a good sign
that it's there...chances are though if you just did a fresh install and
can't bring up a local web page that it isn't therethe RPM's are on
the disk though.

Now I have a question

I'm trying to password protect my web sitesif I use my .htaccess and
.htpasswd files in my user dirs (  ~/public_html/  ) I get the proper
password prompt and it works finebut If I'm serving any pages of the
root server  (  /var/www/html/  ) and use the same files (with the proper
path adjustments made) it doesn't work.Does anyone have any thoughts
there?

Re: [newbie] Installation problem

2000-10-26 Thread abe

the ATA100 channel on the A7V is reported in windows as a SCSI device. 
It has to load its own BIOS at boot time in order to function and I do
not know if the linux kernel can successfully talk with an ATA100 BIOS
yet.  My won't boot if I move HD1 to the ATA100 controller which is a
bummer because even ATA66 drives get a huge performace gain from being
on that controller.

Obviously I haven't tested it in linux yet but in wandows on my ata66
controller my ata 66 drive gets burst trasnfer to about 48MBs and
sustained around 28-32MBs.  On the ATA100 controller it gets burst of
around 65-70MBs and sustained around 50.

I've been told that the 2.4 kernel addresses ata100 but I hear that the
2.4 kernel addresses everything that doesn't currently work in linux so
I'm starting to be a bit skeptical since I'm using 2.4.0 from mandrake
7.2b3 right now.

I don't know what the problem is then. I used it to to install Helix on my

One thing you might try is to choose a differet site and mirror to download
from.
I can not remember which it is now but unless I downloaded the installation
program fron the 2nd site listed then I got an error message and I had the
best luck also when I choose to download the pkgs. from the Helix site
rather than from one of the mirrors.
Go figure.

Re: [newbie] Advice on Library Versioning in Linux

2000-10-26 Thread John Couturier

I don't know about other unices but in Linux that is the way
Library stuff works.  You usually have one actual file
libGL.so.1.2.3 then you have libGL.so and whatever other version
links you need as sym links to libGL.so.1.2.3.  It seems rather
silly to have version links I agree as libGL.so will always
point to the the most recent library and 90% of the time that is
the version you want.  Anyway your correct that is how it goes.

John

Sometimes you won't see the errors that you are getting unless you started

Look for the login manager in KDE, i think is under configuration.  There
you can tell it to not start directly to X.  All you have to do is type

 with Unix like systems; but I'm stumped on this one.
 
 I'm trying to build a program that uses the mesa3d libs the package
 (freedraft-0.38) uses the standard GNU configuration tools which are
 normally very effective. In this case however it is not finding the
 requisite libraries even though they exist. The problem seems to be due
 to library versioning I can make the configure scripts work by
 symbolically linking (for example) libGLU.so.1 to libGLU.so but this
 seems to me to be wrong in that I shouldn't have to do this if library
 versioning is working properly. I have run ldconfig as well as checking
 that /etc/ld.conf.so contains an entry for the path where the libraries
 are stored all to no avail.
 
 Can anyone help here???
 
 I also have a minor configuation query. When working on SVR4 it was
 possible to run man on the console and then press the DEL key to kill it
 and get back to the command promt without the screen being cleared. This
 was very conveniant because the remnants of the manual page were left
 displayed thus making typeing the syntax of an unfamiliar command less
 of a memory feat. I can do this in any of the terminal windows supplied.
 As soon as I press q to get out of less the screen is cleared. I would
 like to change this behaviour but I don't know whether it is a function
 of man less or the terminal app.
 
 Any ideas???

[newbie] Bad Disk - need replacement

2000-10-26 Thread Ray Martin

I was having a terrible time getting my CD-ROM to read my 7.1 install Disk.
It got to the point where I thought my CD was failing.  Then after a long
drive of thinking it dawned on me to look at the disk.  It is cracked
though from the inner hole in a straight line out about 3/4".  So it it
needs replacing.  Any ideas on how to get a replacement disk do I can
install 7.1.  I have a 56K connect so downloading it for 18 hours is not a
real good option.

Don't have the problem, and it is not a good idea to run on the net in
root mode. I'm not sure what is causing your situation. Maybe others can
help. I think that you should check all your settings in Netscape if you
can, and / or reinstall it.

[newbie] Video resolution oddities

2000-10-26 Thread Ben Steele

I installed Mandrake 7.1 (my first Linux) on Monday morning. Since
then, I've been trying to get my display resolution down to 800x600.  My
video card, a 32M ATI Rage Fury Pro ("detected as Rage 128 (generic)"), is
capable of much more than my 15" monitor can comfortably display, and X
defaulted to a painfully high resolution.  Selecting 800x600 (at any color
depth) resulted in a 1024x768 size display--too small to see
comfortably--and 640x480 is BIG.  Also, testing the newly selected video
mode invariably caused the display to become ridiculously scrambled and
impossible to use; I had to restart X to see the results of any changes.
Ctrl+Alt+"-" and "+" allowed some flexibility, but not a satisfactory
answer.
Finally, I tried setting it to 1024x768, which lo and behold gave
me a perfectly-sized 800x600 screen.  I should have thought of that days
ago.  =)
Is this little switch problem common to the 7.1 distro?  Also,
does anyone have any tips on configuring my particular video card in
Linux?
I'm having enormous fun setting up and learning Linux.  I could
get it done a lot faster if I didn't have to keep going to work and
sleeping and such, though.

Buchan Milne, sir --

Thanks for your answer.   I am going to have to get really brave and try what you say. 
 Bravery is required because I have no clue what "fix X" entails, sigh.  I'll be fully 
backed-up first, however, in case it turns out that I do need to reinstall the OS!

-- Take care!
I hope you and yours are prospering!
