[newbie] Linux-Mandrake 7.2 on Compaq Armada 1750
Hello, I'm fairly new to linux and I'm still learning how to use it. I just connected to the internet using Win2K internet sharing connection. A great accomplishment for a newbie, I suppose... Anyway, ahead with my problem... I just installed the current version Linux-Mandrake on my Compaq Armada 1750. The installation was smooth, I did not encounter any problems. The only thing that I am not happy with is that there is no sound. Has anyone found any sound drivers for linux? I have tried to look up the information on the sound drivers for Windows, but I haven't been successful in retrieving any information. Besides the sound thing, I am having problems logging out of a KDE session. Whenever I try to logout, it just sits there. I can still move the mouse around and everything, but nothing will open. I have left the computer alone for about 10 minutes to see if it needed more time to logout. Has anyone else had similar problems like this? Is there a set of steps that I should take before logging out?? I should mention that I am using a 3COM 10/100 LAN Cardbus (model 3CCFE575BT) for my network connection. I have noticed that when I have the card inserted into a slot, it takes longer to enter a KDE session. Could this be the cause to the problems that I'm having? Any information would be greatly appreciated. Thank you. Richard F. Galaz
Re: [newbie] gates gets Linux
Well, that's only true if you use a window manager like KDE. Others, like Gnome, use double-clicks. So, a single-click is not "the Linux way". The Windows gui can be configured to act like Internet Explorer, which also means single-clicks. This isn't an OS question, it's a gui question. One of the "bad habits" is having to double-click when a single click will do. For those of us who use both OS's it's quite distracting, and I think the Linux way makes more sense. -- [EMAIL PROTECTED] "They said I was mad; and I said they were mad; damn them, they outvoted me" - Nathaniel Lee
RE: [newbie] Resolving resource conflicts in Mandrake 7.2 complete
In most computers IRQ allocation on PCI cards is SLOT dependant. I'm sure a few people here will think otherwise, but it's true. You can change the IRQ both cards will use, but the change will occur in unison... I.E. both will go to 10 at the same time, etc. What you need to do, is move one of the cards to another PCI card slot. Some vendors now provide "maps" of the IRQ allocations on a per slot basis... I wish they all would to clarify things for a lot of people... For example the AGP slot and the first slot (closest to the AGP slot) normally share the same IRQ no matter what you do. Slot two w/slot 5, etc... actual hardware may vary... -JMS -Original Message- From: [EMAIL PROTECTED] [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED]]On Behalf Of Mark Lee Sent: Tuesday, December 05, 2000 2:27 PM To: '[EMAIL PROTECTED]' Subject: [newbie] Resolving resource conflicts in Mandrake 7.2 complete Hi, I'm new to the list and have a question regarding resource conflicts in Mandrake 7.2 Complete.

Re: [newbie] gates gets Linux
Hey Tom, Is it true about hardware providers paying fees to M$ so that Windows supports or approves their hardware? In other words, no fee - no drivers. Have you ever heard about this? I just wanted to clear that up. Roman Tom Brinkman wrote: A lot has been said about 'when Linux is ready for the average users desktop'. Mostly inferring that this is a good idea to begin with. I think not. What needs to be happening (IMO) is the users and desktop need to get ready for Linux, et al. It appears, most seem to think that Linux has come a long way in the last few years. Some in a Winblows sense. I sort'a kind'a agree. Linux use to (only) run on quality, standard hardware. Now it's tryin to run on any ol' thing ... kind'a like a Wintendo clone. Lin-modems, lin-printers, lin-sound, lin-video, lin-mice, lin-, etc. While Linux and most other Un*x flavor OS's have progressed remarkedly in the last few years, the desktop systems have been goin' further an' further south. Most of y'all recognize the 'winmodem' situation, but fail to see that this is only the tip of the iceberg. There's a sh!+load'a win-hardware out there now, and the situation's become worse and worse over just the last few years. Many of y'all are tryin to run Linux on win-hardware. Specially those that post " but it works great in Win..." This is a USER problem, IMO. Keep this in mind when you evaluate Linux's climb in usability. It's been a real hard up hill climb against hardware that is more'n more intended, and designed _only_ to be used with Windoze. IOW's, goin' south. Hell, a lot of it won't even work with NT or DOS. Heck, a lot of it doesn't work too well with Winblows! Situation's becoming so bad that even Wintendo 95 thru ME is havin' problems runnin on the newest hardware offerings. While I'm convinced that the BIG ready mades (ie, Dell, Gateway, Compaq, etc) are the most overpriced cheap junk fosted on the unsuspecting public they have one MAJOR factor goin for them. They all design their limited, substandard, proprietary crap ... to work with Winblows. *This makes most of the people happy, most of the time.* What I believe many of y'all think of as 'ready for the desktop' Windoze doesn't work with any hardware... any hardware is intended to work with Winblows. Well, sort'a. In the last year or so with the advent of 'Moore's Law' processors, and chipset/ram/motherboard/ peripheal's inabiliity to adequately keep up, the public (read, USER) who's willing to accept this as progress, and also accept cheapness, corner cutting, substandard (read, 'onboard' or 'built-in') hardware as OK ..

I've got full backups on both machine in case the whole thing goes south I can be back up in 30 minutes. thanks in advance, It isn't quite clear from your description where the CRC error comes in. CRC check characters are generated by shifting the data through a hardware shift register with feedback loops that essentialy divide or multiply it by a polynomial, a special one that can generate all the elements in a field of 4 billion unique elements, and by appending this to the data stream. Supposedly, the receiving hardware duplicates the action. It is not very likely that two 512 bit data streams differing by one or two bits will generate the same CRC (what is left in the register after the multiplication). If this is happening when you are trying to boot the install kernel, then I would ask if you used MD5sum on the isos downloaded. And, was the floppy written from the CD you burned or taken from a downloaded image? It is possible that there is enouigh eccentricity between the burner and the CD reader that a CRC error could occur, and if the floppy was prepared from a read of the CD, then the error could propagate unchecked because floppies are a little too inexpensive to have CRC circuitry and just store what they get. If this is happening after the install, it is likely the death knell of a WD disk (which blows off the CRC). If it is happening at the install, I would say you have a coaster. Civileme

Re: [newbie] Help - USB Printer - Urgent
I have found out that some printers work excellently on the parallel port and do not work at all on the USB. Because it worked on the parallel port under Mandrake 7.1 it will also work on the parallel port under 7.2. All drivers of 7.1 are also available under 7.2. Note that they are presented in another form now, because Mandrake 7.2 uses the new printing system CUPS. There are also many new drivers, especially GIMP-Print, which gives very high quality, especially on Epson Stylus printers. Try the following to get the USB working: 1. keep the printer turned on. 2. Edit /etc/sysconfig/usb adding a line: "PRINTER=yes". Restart the affected daemons: service usb restart service cups restart and see whether one can istall your printer now. If not, use the parallel port and send me the output of the "lsmod" command. Till Ashley Moore wrote: I've connected my Epson Stylus 740 using USB to my LM7.2 m/c How do I go about accessing it.

I've got full backups on both machine in case the whole thing goes south I can be back up in 30 minutes. thanks in advance, It isn't quite clear from your description where the CRC error comes in. CRC check characters are generated by shifting the data through a hardware shift register with feedback loops that essentialy divide or multiply it by a polynomial, a special one that can generate all the elements in a field of 4 billion unique elements, and by appending this to the data stream. Supposedly, the receiving hardware duplicates the action. It is not very likely that two 512 bit data streams differing by one or two bits will generate the same CRC (what is left in the register after the multiplication). If this is happening when you are trying to boot the install kernel, then I would ask if you used MD5sum on the isos downloaded. And, was the floppy written from the CD you burned or taken from a downloaded image? It is possible that there is enouigh eccentricity between the burner and the CD reader that a CRC error could occur, and if the floppy was prepared from a read of the CD, then the error could propagate unchecked because floppies are a little too inexpensive to have CRC circuitry and just store what they get. If this is happening after the install, it is likely the death knell of a WD disk (which blows off the CRC). If it is happening at the install, I would say you have a coaster. Civileme
Re: [newbie] MDK72/CUPS-Paralel port problem
Check your /etc/modules.conf file. It should contain alias parport_lowlevel parport_pc pre-install plip modprobe parport_pc ; echo 7 /proc/parport/0/irq Add the lines if they are missing and give the command depmod -a Now the modules for the parallel port are loaded automatically as soon as one tries to access the parallel port.

Re: [newbie] idebus
On Wednesday 06 December 2000 03:46, you wrote: Hi all. Wondering if anyone knows what 'idebus' is and if there are any settings for this. I'm using Mandrake 7.1, and upon boot, there is a line that reads : ide: Assuming 33MHz system bus speed for PIO modes; override with idebus=66. My ASUS board is a P5SB with an AMD K6-2/400 and 192 meg ram. Isn't this a 100 MHz board? Would this be causing my system to run slower than I feel it should? I don't feel that I'm getting anywhere near the performance I should be getting. Thanks for your consideration... There are several buses on the board. The Front Side Bus handles memory and processor, and bridges to PCI and possibly ISA buses. That Front Side Bus is the one you hear so miuch about--The PCI bus runs nominally at 33MHz and the ISA Bus somewhere close to 8MHz. PCI is short for peripheral connect Interface, and ISA is short for Industry Standard Architecture, which is a dying standard. The IDE bus is for disk drives with Integrated Drive Electronics. It runs at several speeds and modes, depending on the technoilogy of the drives attached AND the capabilities of the motherboard. A 66MHz IDE bus is relatively new, though the 33MHz bus has been with us since 1998. There is little to show for the extra speed, and the special connecting cables except an occasional burst mode transfer speed increase, despite all the advertising hype. The true value of the bus and the architecture is that it deviated from programmed input/output (where the processor had to intervene in reads and writes) to Direct Memory Access (where the processor is interrupted when the transfer is complete) If this is really slow, there are several things that might be happening In a terminal type free and see how much memory is being used. It should show how much the system recognizes and how much is free (don't expect much to be free, linux believes unused memory is wasted memory, and memory accesses/caches are a LOT faster than disk). If it shows 64M, then you need to add this to /etc/lilo.conf in the paragraph with label=linux append="mem=183m" 192 might be OK, but that number I gave you won't cause a lock-up if you have built-in AGP sharing part of your memory, which the SiS530 Chipset does use. You will experience considerable speed increase by disabling the on-board AGP and adding a separate video card, except it would have to be PCI. An ancient Voodoo II PCI accelerator board with the 3dfx linux drivers would also probably improve the situation (you plug it in, put your video output to it then take its video out to your monitor.) XFree-4.01 does NOT provide accelerated support for the 530, so XFree86-3.3.6 is a better bet because it provides acceleration in 16 bit color depth for the 530. I have used three 530-based computers. None were speed demons, but none ever had a hiccup, and one of them ran 213 days between power failure caused reboots.

When, during the first install, a few too many errors cause major problems with running the system after a rebooted, I restarted the install process.

Yes...Av is right.

Overall I'm pleased with what I'm learning here without hassling with trying to keep up with the Jones's as far as distribution levels go. At this point I'm about ready to start planing a shift of mailing systems away from Netscape. It serves well but I haven't yet found a way to get Netscape to pick up all mail from all email accounts in one fell swoop - I have 5 accounts which I monitor!! When I used windows I had a bunch of batch files which switched the Ns preferences on the fly, but so far haven't sorted my thoughts on how to do it with Linux - I assume that I have to do some messing about with fetchmail, sendmail, postfix. But I have a fair bit of reading to do yet. It's coming - but any and all suggestions are welcome with the proviso that my preference is toward a GUI mailing proggy with threading. The reason for this quite simple - my vision is failing and it's easier to mess with fonts and colours in the GUI's.

Re: [newbie] Tripwire documentation???
There was a question as to why the soundcard would not play MIDI files .. I found out why.

Re: [newbie] gates gets Linux
I was under the impression that the fee was paid in order for the manufacturer to put an MS logo on their product saying "Yes it will work with MS crap". Even if it doesn't have the "MS Approved" propaganda plastered across the box, as long as the company provides drivers in some form, the product should still (theoretically) work on any OS that the drivers are written for. Got me thinking (don't know how accurate/realistic this is) - Manf A pays fee to MS - MS includes drivers in their OS but excludes from others Manf B flips bird at MS - writes their own drivers (for various OSs) and supplies them with product If the above is accurate, wouldn't it be more cost-effective for manufacturers to supply drivers straight to the end-user, rather than paying MS to deliver them through costly OSs? Not only would MS get less money, but HW manufacturers may gain revenue from users purchasing a product that will work for them on whatever platform they want to use. I'm sure there are many sound reasonings (financial and otherwise) why companies opt for the MS way of doing things - but it doesn't really make any sense to me Apologies for the drivel just waiting on that next hit of caffeine [EMAIL PROTECTED] 12/07 12:29 am Tom Brinkman wrote: On Tuesday 05 December 2000 05:34 pm, Romanator wrote: Hey Tom, Is it true about hardware providers paying fees to M$ so that Windows supports or approves their hardware?

RE: [newbie] gates gets Linux
I've never heard of that. What hardware vendors *do* have to pay for are certain types of certification testing. A few years ago it was almost all done by Microsoft. but a lot of it these days is "self-cert" by the company. However, if you don't make hardware that falls into that category then your hardware must be tested by Microsoft and they charge a nominal fee for that service. If your hardware passes then it is listed on the HCL (Hardware Compatibility List).
