RE: [newbie] KDE2 in 7.2 download
Hi I have attempted to install the 7.2 download 2 CD version last weekend and had similar problems. Additional comments: (1) Ditch the Drake partitioner and use the non-free Partition Magic 5.X program instead. The Drake partitioner will not work properly with Quantum Fireball drives containing a FAT16/FAT32 partitions and obviously from the number of complaints on Mandrake lists, there are many other types of drives it will not work on as well. (2) KDE 2.0 is prone to crashes and too resource intensive. (Yes, I installed the final version.) (3) No matter what type of install is attempted, 7.2 will install non-system packages which were de-selected and not install other packages which were selected. (4) KDE2/this-kernel-version causes constant disk activity. (64MB RAM, swap 128MB). CTRL-ALT-BACKSPACE is totally ineffective to shut down a process gracefully! (5) USERDRAKE is clearly broken as are many others. (6) Many configuration scripts are broken. (7) The installation process needs very much work. There are a number of interesting ideas in 7.2 but they are just that: ideas which have been incompletely implemented. As an avid Mandrake 7.1 user I find this to be sad.

Re: [newbie] Upgrade kernel
Where did you get the new kernel from, and how did you install it? A Mandrake kernel installed as an RPM should have no problems with Supermount. AFAIK, only Mandrake has Supermount in their kernels (correct me if I'm wrong). If you compiled from sources, or used a non-Mandrake kernel, then there's a chance that you don't have Supermount compiled into the kernel. In that case, the easiest solution is to upgrade to the latest Mandrake kernel, currently 2.2.17. Otherwise, you could wait for 2.4 (again, get a Mandrake version), which is due in December (provided that Linus meets his own deadline).

I have no experience with Linux and find the installation manual unclear on this point. I have also searched the newbie archives. My 15G HD now has two partitions: 7.14G (C:) Windows and Windows applications that are already installed--AND--7.13G (E:) reserved for Linux--not yet installed. (I need to be able to dual-boot to either Windows or Linux.) My questions: 1. Is there a way to insure that Linux is installed on the E:\drive? If so, is this choice made in the Recommended, Customized, or Expert class of installation? 2. Or---do I need to remove the E: partition and let Linux make itrsquo;s own partitions? If so, can one make sure that both OS have about equal HD space? Any help will be greatly appreciated . . . Jacqueline Michell Ummm, well, just delete partition E and use customized install. On the blank end of the disk click with the mouse pointer and let it set up root (/ mount point) swap /usr and /home. If you want to choose sizes, make root (/) at least 500Mb /usr at least 3 G, and swap about 250 Mb. Let /home have the rest. Windows will NOT see any of those partitions, but you can make the first partition(drive C: which linux will call /dev/hda1) have a mount point called /mnt/windows which will give you access from linux to your windows files. There is a program available by searching freshmeat.net called explore2fs at this location which will allow windows to see your linux files, but I do recommend that you not use it to write to the linux partitions from windows. Writing in the other direction is much safer, i. e. let linux read your windows files. Civileme

[newbie] Mandrake on an old system - Firewall
I got Mandrake 6 from a friend to install it on an old system. He figured it would work.

I want to set up a firewall on it, figuring that Linux provides the necessary power and security to the system. That's why there are 2 net cards in it: when I get connected to the Internet by cable, I put this baby between Internet and my home network.

Dear All, I am trying to get on the internet again with Linux mandrake 7.2. I was on a few days ago until I installed Suse 7 and tried to do networking there which crashed my Linux mandrake 7.2. I then reinstalled my 7.2. I have not been able to get my internet going since. Everytime I check my eth0 config files I get a device or resource is busy. Linuxconf does not see my card and cannot load the module. I know this is because Suse stole the module, address, and or Irq. I thought the best antidote would be to use fdisk and get rid of Suse. I did that however the problem has not been resolved. All of my configuration files are set up (in LM 7.2) just as they were before Suse ruined it. What is the best remedy here? My goal is to just have Linux Mandrake 7.2 working great and on the internet again. I do not want Suse anymore. I definitely like Mandrake 7.2 better but wanted to try Suse because my mp3's would not play correctly in LM7.2 and the Hearts game shows no faces on the cards.Since my reinstall of LM7.2 my mp3's play great , but still no faces on Hearts. I can live with that as long as I get my internet back. I do have 2 IDE harddrives. Linux Mandrake 7.2 is on the first one or hda and Suse was on the second or hdb. Is there something I can do short of reformatting my drives and reinstalling Linux 7.2? Thanks for your assistance. Sincerely, Marcia GET INTERNET ACCESS FROM JUNO!

Note that I'd also much prefer to have DR-DOS on my first drive, if anyone out there has experience with it (and pointers for getting/installing it?) I found some stuff on Caldera's web site, but its all bigger than the 2 gigs I've got on my 1st HD. Any idea on how to get the other 8 gigs from DOS 6.2, until I can get DR-DOS installed? (and does DR-DOS find my full 10 gigs as well?) Thanks in advance! ;-) Ronaldyour question made me curious. I have Caldera DR-DOS 7.01 on my primary IDE drive, but I'v only partitioned the 1st 200mb for it. It is the home for Partition Magic 6.0 and BootMagic. I bought it from CheapBytes (it's in the book section) for about $25. Anyway, I booted up on DR-DOS and fiddled with the fdisk program for a while. I appears to max out at 8 gig (the 1024 cylinder limit). So I suspect that 8 gigs might be your limit on that 10 gig drive. But perhaps, if you were to partition it with Linux fdisk, DR-DOS might be able to use the space anyway. Good luck. yhs drdos 7.03 can be downloaded, and a "tcpip stack" and 32 bit drivers also, at http://disvr.cjb.net/dos/dls.html. Consider using the extra 2 g's for optimization instead, like mounting it on /usr/src or /usr/lib or /home/your/download. Drdos has fdisk /x to put 3 logical partitions on your hd if you have *lots* of dos files :-) Alan

[newbie] printing problem after upgrade from 7.0 to 7.1
Hi all, I recently upgraded my machine from LM7.0 to LM7.1, and the printer stopped working. Would appreciate if anyone can help. The printer is a Epson Stylus 600. It is connected to a scanner, which in turn, is connected to the parallel port. It was working fine when I had LM7.0. It still works fine under Win98SE. When I try sending jobs with lpr, it just doesn't do anything. I tried PrinterDrake, and neither the ASCII nor PS test page will print. Oddly, if I cat an ASCII file to /dev/lp0, it does print. Can anyone provide some hints? Regards, Andy
Re: [newbie] partition info destruction
I'm not quite sure your win-partition is gone. If your LM-setup past the point where the boot disk has been made, use this, else you could retry the Linux-install disk upto the point where you can use fdisk. It will probably show your partition as a type '82' (Linux Native). You can change your partition here to type 'b' or 'c' (FAT32). After that you should be able to reboot with your Win bootdisk and save your data. That partition is gone. You should never have told it to install there. - Original Message - From: [EMAIL PROTECTED] To: [EMAIL PROTECTED] Sent: Friday, November 24, 2000 6:34 PM Subject: [newbie] partition info destruction Ok, this is what happened...

Re: [newbie] partition info destruction
All may not be lost. If you can run a floppy version of Linux, or an older (manual) install, use Linux's fdisk to set the partition information for that old DOS partition to be fat32 and "active" or bootable, or whatever they call it, save what you have done, and reboot.

[newbie] how do i config. samba?
Hi all. I've just installed Mandrake 7.2(KDE). I would like to ask what configuration is necessary for samba. On my last linux (rh 6.2), nothing special had to be done for samba. Well, on mandrake, it doesn't work. I have used SWAT to make an smb.conf and set the workgroup and net-bios name. I have tried using xSMBrowser(broadcast) and Konqueror but nothing. This is a broadcast network btw. I cannot see any windows shares. In fact, when I run xSMBrowser from a terminal here's what I get: spawn nmblookup -d 1 -S -M querying on 10.38.255.255 name_query failed to find name and inside the xSMBrowser I get: Unable to find domain master. Apart from that, when xSMBrowser starts (I'm just mentioning it because it gives out more info, I am far more interested in getting SMB to work with Konqueror) this is what it outputs: Reading /etc/smb.conf ... Done reading (13 lines, Workgroup=UNKNOWN, Wins Server=none). Which is strange because in smb.conf I have my workgroup set to my actual workgroup, not Unknown. Apart from that, if I experiment using my computer as a WINS server (or master, I don't remember exactly the option if fiddled with) I can see 3 or 4 machines (not access them) and I CAN access my machine. Any other configuration I am missing? Any help will be appreciated.

Re: [newbie] Mandrake 7.2 Disk image
you don't need a floopy drive the cd itself will be bootable once you copy the image to a cd. all the files are there including the bootable files, that is why it is called an iso image, everything on the cd is in the image. All you need to do is burn the iso to a cd and it will be fine. It will boot like it is suppose to and have everything you need on the cd - Original Message - From: "Mr S Ganesan" [EMAIL PROTECTED] To: [EMAIL PROTECTED] Sent: Tuesday, November 28, 2000 1:56 PM Subject: Re: [newbie] Mandrake 7.2 Disk image They say that the iso image on the Mandrake site must be used as a cd image and then only burnt on the cd. thereafter everything will be fine.

Re: [newbie] Mandrake 7.2 Disk image
Ok, if your bios supports it, you can change the drive order that it boots the OS from. My bios supports it and all you do is to go into bios and change the bootorder setting from something like this: A:, C:, CDROM to something like this: CDROM, C:, A:, then save and exit. Put CD in cdrom drive and boot up and it will boot to your cdrom drive, and the linux CD. Once you have installed linux, you can then later go back into bios and change the boot order back to the way it was originally. Good luck.

There's been several updates to KDE2 culminating in KDE2.1, which is now on cooker mirrors. As of 11/20 CVS, Kdevelop (2.0) would either crash on start, or if it manged to start was unusable.

[newbie] make mrproper, how do I get back to before?
Hi Everyone, I am looking for a bit of help, and please forgive me if this is a dumb question. I compiled a Mandrake flavored kernel for a blind friend of mine in Ohio that contained a patch to enable speech output from the gitgo to his synth. It was a success. Anyways, during the process of building this kernel for him one of the steps was to run: make mrproper Okay, well now when I went to configure a newer version of VMware it needs to rebuild some kernel modules and when it goes to look in the /usr/src/linux/include and below directories. It complains of missing header files, spacifically version.h . Can anyone please tell me how to get back to the original Mandrake 7.1 source tree with all the proper headers etc. in place. Feeling really stupid, Perry

Dear Philomena, Linux M 7.2 was not sharing a partition with Suse 7. I have my 7.2 on my first drive which is over 6? gigs and I had Suse on my 2nd drive which is 2.5 gigs. I have deleted Suse with fdisk. I just cannot get onto the internet so far even with the same settings that got me on before (Linux 7.2). I imagine that Suse and LM 7.2 could coexist very harmoniously however I must have done something incorrectly. Yes, my card is listed and recognized in Harddrake but is not initialized. What next?

[newbie] 2nd HDD How to mount?
When I installed 7.2, I decided not to put a linux partition on my hdb- big mistake! now I can't get at it in windows and don't know how or if it can be mounted in Linux.

[newbie] a twist on standard backspace problem
I read the KDE2 FAQ and followed their suggestion to place the following lines xmodmap -e 'keycode 22 = BackSpace' xmodmap -e "keysym Delete = BackSpace" in my .xinitrc file. The backspace key works fine when I first log in now (deletes char to the left of cursor and moves cursor to the left) but somehow at some later point in the session the keycode 22 gets mysteriously changed to Delete and then the Backspace key doesn't work as desired anymore. Any suggestions on how to determine the application that is changing keycode 22 from BackSpace to Delete and how to prevent this behavior in the future? I'm using XFree4 if that is important. Thanks.
Re: [newbie] gates gets linux
When you think about it, M$ using Linux code is not such a bad idea after all. I'm sure that someone will eventually find out that their "software" (is it worthy of such a title?) contains Linux code. It is not uncommon for one closed-source company to sue another over code theft, but usually it's MicroShaft that's on the offensive. Their "products" will be under heavy scrutiny, as anyone who verifies M$'s code theft will most likely be showered with fame and fortune. So too will lawyers seeking to prosecute MickeySoft - whether they win or lose. M$ is *very rich*, so the damages payout for breaching the GPL will be enormous, and they will probably be forced to open some or all of their source code in order to comply to the GPL. Another reason why this could be a blessing in disguise is that from now on M$ is in catch-up mode. They managed to crush the competition in the past by simply developing faster. If they are using Linux code they must wait for it to be developed for Linux and then spend time finding a way to implement it into their archaic infrastructure. As can been seen with the Mozilla project, it can be far more difficult and time-consuming to modify an existing project than to start afresh.

Re: [newbie] gates gets linux
While MicroShaft *did* buy a reasonably large stake in Corel, these shares were non-voting. In other words, M$ cannot influence Corel's decisions directly. However, it can act indirectly. For example, it could threaten to sell all of its Corel shares at the same time, sending Corel's stock price plummeting. This would deter investment in Corel.

Re: [newbie] Mandrake 7.2 Disk image
If you burn the ISO to the cd, it should be bootable... The problems will come up if you try and boot an older system. If you have Windows installed, have it reboot to command prompt, the do: c: d: (where d: is you cdrom) cd\dosutils\autoboot autoboot it should do the rest for you...

Set up 16 or 32 bits per pixel with XFDrake, the problem appears only with 24 bits per pixel.

I say yes and then it tells me that lp is not ready. Needless to say, nothing comes out. Try the following possibilities: 1. How did you install the printer? During installation, with DrakConf/printerdrake, kups, the web interface, or lpadmin? Did the program which you have used autodetect the printer? Which driver did you choose. If your printer is not listed under the supported models, try at first the Canon BJ 200, try also the BJ 10e. 2. When you start kups and choose "Printer" - "Add" and in the wizard "local printer". Is your parallel port detected? Update cups to 1.1.4-7mdk from http://www.mandrakesoft.com/~tkamppeter/packages/ and check again. If you have compiled the kernel by yourself, make sure that it supports the parallel port. The device file of the parallel port is /dev/lp0. Try also to print by sending data (text file) directly to /dev/lp0: cat .bashrc /dev/lp0 do you get any printout? Do the LEDs of your printer blink? Do you get any error message? Till
Re: [newbie] Two Questions for thought
The printer uses the same driver as the DeskJet 550C, start "printtool" and search for the entry "HP DeskJet 550C/560C/6xxC series". After selecting that you will have the possibility to set the paper size and the printing quality. Choose 24 (Floyd Steinberg color) or 32 (Sometimes better than 24) bits per pixel to gain highest quality. For the sound card try "sndconfig", it succeeds to configure some sound cards where "sounddrake" has problems. Till Jay wrote: Till Kamppeter wrote: What version of Linux Mandrake are you using?
