[newbie] RPM major numbers <- 3 problem
When trying to upgrade some packages with "rpm -U packnamehere" I got the following error message only packages with major numbers <= 3 are supported by this version of RPM This has happened on several upgrades I have tried before but now its become a problem due to it happening on a package that I need to upgrade. Anyone have any ideas on how to get around this problem or fix it? Ian K. Harrell [EMAIL PROTECTED]
RE: [newbie] Problem with Telnet
I think I know what's wrong. I check the /var/log/secure, it says "error: cannot execute /usr/sbin/in.telnet: No such file or directory". Does this mean I don't have the deamon installed?

[newbie] mandrake 7.2
Hi all, Now I dont know about you but I have had nothing but problems with 7.2 and alot of you have as well judging by the posts. So I uninstalled the sucker and reinstalled 7.1 and I am so much happier. I mean dont get me wrong here 7.2 has alot of neato things but nothing works. So what good is that ? So anyways I think Im going to stick with 7.1 as IT WORKS ! Thank you, Chronos.

Hi, I am having a problem with telnet into my linux box too. I can telnet into remote sites, but cannot do it other way around. It always tells me that "connection closed by foreign host". In my /etc/inetd.conf I had it setup like following. telnet stream tcp nowait root/usr/sbin/tcpd in.telnetd -l -a Can some one give me idea? what does "-l" and "-a" mean ? oh... i setup security as medium when I first install the system.

[newbie] No Cd-rom or CDrw as root?
Wow, just installed the cheapbytes 7.2 and even as root I don't have access to my cd-rom or cdrw. Also, I can't configure sound all of which worked just fine on 7.1.
[newbie] 7.2 lack of xserver
Hi all, I burned a new Install CD for 7.2. This time I got a complete copy based on the total bytes transfered. Funny thing, this time around Aurora doesn't come up by default and on boot up I get no Xserver. I am totally unimpressed since this is the same machine that 7.0 and 7.1 loaded on without a hitch. Cups was installed and when I said ok to print a test page ( My old Epson 800 Stylus esc wasn't listed so I chose generic) I got about ten pages of garbage and it didn't act like it was going to stop there so I shut the printer off. I would have to say that I am totally unimpressed with 7.2. It seems like Mandrake Soft has taken a couple of steps backwards for ease of installation. At least for me. I think I will save my money and buy some more ram or something and not waste it on 7.2. Maybe they will get 7.3 to be more user friendly. Yes, I did try the xf86config and that just made matters worse. No xserver to be had. Bummer, It seems to me that there is a lot of disparity in the success people are having with the installation. That to me is not the mark of a good distribution. That's my rant, I'm tired and going to bed. If any one has a idea as to why I can't get an xserver this time around, I'm willing to listen, being the stubborn sort, I don't like to give up.

[newbie] Stupid printer question
Well ladies and germs, I snooped in the newbie and the expert archives and I saw some things about lpd but, not enough to inform me of what I need to do. I have an od HP Deskjet, just Deskjet nothing else after no number or anything. It is obviously a black and white printer but, I still wonder how to get the lpd running, I can dump text into the /dev/lp0 port and I'm running Mandrake 7.0-2 So I cannot install KUPS or cups, can't upgrade just yet, I have some more issues to deal with. I think I am seriously missing something about the lpd daemon as it will not do anything, netscape print function just errors as: lpr lp lp printer unknown, is it possible to also use fonts with this printer? Thanks Vic
Re: [newbie] printing
Marcia, I have the Epson Stylus Color 850. I took care of the light print quality by going to the 'Printer' icon on the desktop. Click on 'Properties' and 'Advanced'. You will find a folder called 'Extra' and a highlighted text after 'Quality'. When you click on the highlighted text, it will open up the options. Mine was originally 180x180. I went to 720x720. This feature is probably available somewhere else in KDE, but I haven't found it as yet.

Re: [newbie] Print Quality
Barry, Thank you. I found that printer icon and did the adjusting. I believe it made a difference accept I wish I understood more of what everything did. I did change the resolution to 720 and made some other changes. After that my printer printed darker but very very slow. It printed out something very quickly before I made these adjustments. What can I do now to speed up my printer? Thank you for your help. Marcia

[newbie] BT
Only just started using linux and am not farmilar with it or its systems, but my friends are. My problem is, Having installed Mandrake 7.1 on my system, I want to connect to BT INTERNET, this is a UK ISP, I can't get it to authorise me, it dials, goes to logging on to network, then drops, with message, "can't gain autherisation", I 'think' its cos BT uses NT. We have got it to work with Redhat and Suse 7, but we can't get it to work with LM7.1, can anyone help, or know how to fix this problem, I have no idea what info you require, what I can say is I have checked the following 1, Modem, works and dials ok, and will connect to other ISP's 2, Check with BT to see if there is any help available, NOPE! 3, Checked all passwords, made sure they are correct, 4, Checked conf files, and put details in the "secrets" conf file, that "redhat" uses, to see if that fixed it, NOPE. I am at a loss, can someone please point me in the right directions, surely someone has got this to work. Thanks in advance. Leon
Re: [newbie] No NUMBER lock?
(Note that this is straight from the man page for setleds.)
For X, you need to edit the file '/usr/X11R6/lib/X11/xkb/types/basic'. The
last section of the file is the "KEYPAD" section and looks like:
type "KEYPAD" {
modifiers = Shift+NumLock;
map[None] = Level1;
map[Shift] = Level2;
map[NumLock] = Level2;
map[Shift+NumLock] = Level1;
level_name[Level1] = "Base";
level_name[Level2] = "Number";
To set NUMLOCK on by default, simply change every occurrence of "Level1" to
"Level2" and change every occurrence of "Level2" to "Level1" (without the
quotes). Then restart X. Note that the behavior of the NUMLOCK light will
change as well (i.e. the light will be lit when NUMLOCK is OFF and will be
dark when NUMLOCK is ON).

[newbie] Mandrake 7.1 and BT internet
hi, Ok this question may have been posted 1000's of times before, but I can't find it in any archive or FAQ so here goes. I have Intel 400 system, just installed mandrake 7.1, I am very 'green' with regard this OS. My problem is that I can't connect to my ISP with it (BT Internet), the modem dials, it handshakes, then dies, with the message "can't gian authorisation". A friend of mine has used red hat and suse and had no problem, but tried to configure mine, and it was having non of it. I don't know what info you guys will require to help solve this problem. I have checked all the basics, modem operation, etc, my mate thinks it cos BT uses NT and this is the problem, as they don't tell you a domain to log on to. in fact they give you no help at all! Has anyone had this problem and could give me a 'detailed' laymans description on how to fix it, Thanks very much, regards Leon

Re: [newbie] (...) FINALLY!!!
I would first look if XF86Setup is installed on your box, run the command: whereis XF86Setup, and if it isn't there then I'd look for it on the CD's and install it. It is a very helpful tool for people who don't want to go directly into the files to config. By the way; startx is a seperate program with it's own config file called startx, the file you edit when you run xf86config or XF86Setup is the file XF86Config.

Re: [newbie] Problem with Telnet
There could be a few things going on here. One, try this command. telnet -l root localhost The -l parameter tells it what user is going to be telneting into the machine. Secondly.. Do you have SSH installed. I believe when you install SSH, it automatically restricts telnet access sicne it's not secure. IF you have your security levels up pretty high, you might now be able to telnet into the machine. Due to the fact that telnet is not secure. Off the top of my head I can't remember what file that is set it. But if you see a #telnet in that file then telnet is not enabled. I'd look for the file, but I managed to mess up my boot record so I can't actually boot into Linux right now! :0) If I didn't actually need Windoze in this house... I'd forbid it in my house!! tdh T.

I start them, get the spinning disk on the taskbar, then it will go away, and sometimes 4 or five minutes later the app will pop up. I tried starting them from a terminal, but it doesn't tell me anything. Is this a common problem? I searched the mailing list archives, but didn't find anything on it. Any help would be appreciated.

Re: [Re: [newbie] Mandrake 7.2 and Promise UATA 100 Controllers]
I am not sure on this but kernel 2.2.17 does not recognize ATA 100
controllers. You'll have to use a 2.4 kernel to get support for that.

Re: [newbie] Printing to an HP Laserjet 4050TN over an Ethernet Network
The printer musthave a fixed IP, because it does server tasks. It is not possible to let it get an IP automatically from the DHCP server (the address would be everytime different). Do the following: Enter "ifconfig" and look which IP is assigned to the card for your local network. It is usually "192.168.0.1". So the network is "192.168.0.". Assign an address inside this network to the printer, but choose one which cannot be assigned by the DHCP server. With the default setting in /etc/dhcpd.conf you can choose the fourth number of the printer's IP from 2 to 15. So you can use 192.168.0.2 for example. Please check the printer's manual for how to set this addres on the printer. Till Philip Trauring wrote: > > How can I set the IP address when the network is using DHCP?

Re: [Re: [newbie] Mandrake 7.2 and Promise UATA 100 Controllers]
Okay, I spent yesterday jumping through hoops, and finally got things to fit
together so that they work not too badly.
M/B: ASUS A7V/KT133
Issue: Linux Mandrake Doesn't Undertand the Promise ATA/100 on the M/B
Here's the procedure I used:
* NOTE: This procedure ASSUMES that you attach the disk to the primary
UATA/100 device
1) Disconnect the UATA/100 Win2K disk
2) Attach the new disk to the IDE controller
{NOT the UATA 100 controller - there are 2 sets of disk controller
ports on the M/B)
3) Drop the Mandrake 7.2 CD into the CD/R drive.
4) Boot the system from CD
5) Do a bare bones install of Mandrake {don't even bother with X)
6) After the install is done, log in as root
7) Execute the following command: % cat /proc/pci
8) Somewhere in there, you will get a piece of output that has 5 hex
addresses listed. These should be the I/O range for the UATA/100 controller.
In my case the first two were 0x9000 and 0x8800.
9) Record those numbers.
10) Shut down
11) Disconnect the drive from the IDE controller and hook it to the UATA
controller.
12) Reconfigure the BIOS to boot from CD first rather than HDD.
13) Boot the box up - when the first Mandrake screen comes up, press 'F1' to
get into the alternate boot screen.
14) At the command prompt provided, type in 'linux ide2=0xy,0xz'
computing y and z as: high start address from step 8, and z as the second
start address + 2. On my box this turned out to be ide2=0x9000,0x8802.
15) At this point, everything should be happy, and you can go ahead with a
full install.
16) When you get to configuring GRUB, use the same numbers you used in step
14.
I haven't yet tried patching the kernel - that's next. But this was enough to
get moving forward.

I haven't installed one but I am getting one and I have researched it a

kernel patch for the card. Here's a URL for the HowTo which describes a

RE: [newbie] using a removable hard drive (DOS)
Yeah, I've got that figured out but my question I'm having is will linux
just ignore the second drive when it is missing or will it hiccup because it
expects a drive (in the bay) when it's not there?
Windows doesn't care, I can pull out the drive and put it back in (rebooting
of course) and it always handles it ok. Will linux do this too? Do I have
to manually mount and unmoun the drive each time?

You need two bays : one for Linux and one for Windows, { presume you also

If this is downloadable 7.2, try installing in "expert" mode and turning off optimizations. This particular MB/Chipset/Controller combo often chokes on some of them. Check the expert archives or Cooker archives for case histories if interested. If this is not downloadable 7.2, either download it or register your set and contact tech support by email; or get a cheap set of CDs from Cheapbytes or GatorOnline.

Other than that's prob'ly causing the drive to default to ata/33, it shouldn't be a problem.

Put a hdparm line at the end of rc.local that reads 'hdparm -m0 -c0 -u0 -d0 -k0 -A0' Either a re-boot, or running 'rc.local' should then disable 32bit IO, DMA, and readahead.

[newbie] Mandrake 7.2 install problem - two HD's on UDMA66.
Hi folks! I have run into some serious problems installing Mandrake 7.2 on my box, having the following specs: - Abit BE6-II motherboard (not version 2), latest BIOS (UH) - Celeron 466 - 256 MB RAM - Two HD's on UDMA66 (HPT366), both IBM. /dev/hde - IBM 30GB, 7200rpm, ATA66/100 (boot) /dev/hdf - IBM 13.5GB, 7200rpm, ATA66 - DVD/CD and CD-RW /dev/hda - Pioneer 10/40 DVD/CD /dev/hdb - HP 9100i - Matrox G400 MAX DualHead - Creative 1024 Live! Installation goes quite well, but reboot after installation just chokes when init is starting. I heard someone mention that there is a bug in 7.2 that requires you to disable the primary slave drive in BIOS when installing 7.2. Then download and install a patch of some sort before enabling the slave drive again. Is this so, and could someone point me to where I might find the solution to this? I tried to search for this in the archives here, but could not find anything. Mandrake 7.1 installs just fine on the same box, but I ran into similar problems when I opted for 'disk optimization' during the installation. Boot got stuck when 'preparing disk optimization for /dev/hdf'. This leads me to suspect there is some problems with having a slave drive when installing 7.2? BTW, None of the drives are 'contaminated' with Windoze. -- Cheers! == Rune Kallhovd, CORENA Norge AS == = Software Engineer = = P.O.Box 1024, N-3601 Kongsberg, NORWAY = = Tlf: +47 32 73 7448, Fax: +47 32 73 6877 = == CORENA Home Page: http://www.corena.no ==

[newbie] ISA ethernet card Tx timeout
After moving one of my computers from redhat 5.2 to Mandrake 7.1 I am having problems with the ethernet card. As the subject says, it's an ISA card, using the ne2k module. io and irq are correct, as it detects the card and gives the correct MAC address. pings to the machine's ip (192.168.1.2) work, pings to and from another (192.168.1.1) do not work. Before the upgrade it was fully functional. I've seen some literature saying an older PCI card may have this problem, and to use the ne.c instead of the ne2k-pci module. So what should I do if I'm already using the ne.c?

Hi Dave, I am running 7.2 since almost a week now, but I am not at the computer a lot. Perhaps it rattles from 8am until 6pm (when I am not here), but I have not heard anything strange at other times. But then, the hard working disk etc. did not happen very often, perhaps once a month.

[newbie] Mod_perl + Embperl&Mdk 7.2
I tried to install machine with Apache,mod_perl and HTML-Embperl capabilities. First I installed Mandrake 7.2 custom-development. I chose apache, mod_perl, html-embperl etc.(perl modules). When I started up interface showed httpd and httpd-perl coming up. Then I tried just to see localhost, but none was there. First question: How does one give machine name(localhost,whatever) if it is not asked during install. Ok, got tired of such scramble, and decided to install Apache+mod_perl from source. Then I discovered that perl libraries are not where they should be, so Apache won't install. (hmm, install new perl from source and all modules that are needed :P) Ok, so I changed to custom-server install. Installed stuff, apache etc. During start shows httpd, httpd-perl, and even localhost exists if I look at it through some browser. Now I wanted to use HTML-Embperl, and decided to modify httpd.conf. So I added lines DefaultType text/html SetHandler perl-script PerlHandler HTML::Embperl Options +ExecCGI +Includes +Indexes PerlSetEnv EMBPERL_ESCMODE 4 PerlSetenv EMBPERL_OPTIONS 16 AddType text/html .html When I did configtest, it failed miserably, complaining about PerlHandler. So, my second question is: How to use Embperl, if it is installed? Where to write what? Greetings, Antti
