[newbie] Text out of the screen (console mode)

[Gigi Giorgi]

Hi all,
I've just installed 7.2 and almost all goes well but when I switch to
console text mode some characters at left side are not visible because
they are out of the screen (about two characters are outside the
monitor). X works just fine on my Millenium G400.
Thanks in advance and sorry for my poor english.

just create a new empty directory (folder) on your hardrive.
for example, 
mount /dev/hdd /mnt/mycdrom

my cdrom mount point is ~/1disk/ and make a symlink to /cdrom/
i put "1" to it so its easy for my to pointing it out from command line

Re: [newbie] WindowMaker beeps every hour!!!

[Ribbo]

Hi John,

doesnt sound like a problem, perhaps that sound coming from your dock
application.
if you run X from tty1, from windowmaker hit ctrl+alt+F1 and look at
the screen. is there any error described.
or maybe it comes from one of the dock you use.
try to load wmaker without the docks with "wmaker --no-dock" command
on .xinitrc , and see if you still got that sound.

i love windowmaker, but i hate those docks :)
i prefer gkrellm to display my sys-information.

i belong to a macintosh discussion group as well, and i have to say that
this had happened only twice, since then i think the listmoms have set a

i have never seen any removal requests ...  it's a lively discussion
group, with average of over 50msgs per night for me, so i'm sure there
would have been people who unwittingly signed up not knowing the volume
of the emails they would be getting.  

would the list moms (ok ok, list administrators) here be able to filter

RE: [newbie]

[Fireman71]

In essence all a mount point is is a directory in you file system ie.
/mnt/cdrom or /mnt/floppy. they are only empty directories until you mount a
device to them. What mounting does is attach the device, in this case you
CD-Rom, to that directory in your file system so that you can access it.

I'll probably get flamed for using this analogy but oh well :)

In windows your CD-Rom is assigned drive D:, you floppy is A: and the
harddrive is C: etc. All those letters are just telling windows where to
find a particular device at. Linux does basically the same thing except it
uses a different naming scheme. In linux the cd-rom is usually /mnt/cdrom
and the floppy is /mnt/floppy. Actually in linux your mount points can be
almost anything you want them to be.

Thats mount points in a nutshell as i understand them. Now for mounting...

In windows when you stick a cd in the drive windows automatically mounts it
at drive D: while in linux you have to mount it yourself. In windows when
you put the cd in, the drive tells windows that "hey, the user stuck a cd in
me" while with linux you tell linux "Hey, i stuck a cd in the drive and you
can find it here (where you mounted it at)."

There is an exception to this in linux though. It is called automount and
uses entries in fstab to do all the mounting for you automatically. You will
have to talk to someone else to get more info on automount though, i was
lucky to understand the above analogy when a friend explained it to me.

Hopes this helps,
Ian K. Harrell

My Linux partition wasn't recognizing or using my swap partition.  So I used
Diskdrake so that the partition was recognized as the swap partition.  I
think maybe at this point I should have rebooted but instead I used Linxconf
to set the swap partition.  At this point I did reboot, but now I can't get

What is the best thing to do at this point?  Should delete my Linux

it's previous state before I made the changes?

Hello,

I thought you might wanted to know, I got a 3com/usr 3cp5610 to work, by
adding the following to the startup scripts...

exec setserial /dev/ttyS4 irq 9 port 0xb000 ^fourport ^auto_irq skip_test
autoconfig spd_vhi

The ^fourport is the key since setserial otherwise will believe the card
has four ports instead of just the one shown in /proc/pci (I spend a night
figuring this out, so I will pass this on to somebody else, so they can
save the hassle). skip_test is important too for setserial to believe
there is an 16550A instead of the 16550AF there really is.

On the same irq 9 I have several PCI devices: pcmcia scsi, USB, sound and
modem, which all seems to work.

Subject: re: 3Com 3CP5610 modem

Regarding the 3Com 3CP5610 modem and Linux

This is what worked for me on a Gateway GP6.  I don't have much 
experience with Linux or x86 PCs so I don't know if this will work for 
you.

After installing the modem card and starting up the system, Windows 
took over and "installed" the card. I assume it stores some parameters 
in the NVRAM used by the BIOS. I tried a lot of things to force 
interrupt values and ioport values through Windows and ended up wiping 
out my Windows setup to the point where I had some difficulty getting 
it to boot up in any system. Once I got over that problem, I found a 
way to avoid Windows completely after the initial sort of "plug and 
play" setup.

The process turns out to be pretty simple.

Boot up in Linux after the card has been installed and the  Windows 
initialization has occured.

In a terminal window, type

cat /proc/pci

Scroll down until you find the data for the serial controller. Mine 
looked like:


Bus  0, device  15, function  0:
Serial controller: Unknown vendor Unknown device (rev 1).
  Vendor id=12b9. Device id=1008.
  Medium devsel.  IRQ 10.  
  I/O at 0x1890 [0x1891].



Make a note of the values for IRQ and I/O port. In my case they were 
10 and 0x1890 respectively.

Then in the terminal window type

setserial /dev/ttyS1 irq 10 port 0x1890 autoconfig 

where you use the correct values of irq and port for your system as 
obtained from the "cat /proc/pci" output. Then, you need to create the 
symbolic link between /dev/modem and /dev/ttyS1 with the ln command. 
Once that is done, you should be able to access the modem using 
minicom. If that works, and all of your PPP stuff is set up OK you 
should be able to log onto the internet. I don't think it really 
matters which COM port Windows uses for the modem. 

At this point you will need to use the setserial command each time you 
reboot your machine. To make it automatic, enter the setserial command 
at the end or your rc.local file so that it is executed automatically 
each time you reboot.

The only problem I had after doing this occured after I installed a 
new SCSI controller card into the GP6. Windows installed the card but 
later, when I went to use the modem in Linux, it didn't work. What 
happened was, Windows changed the irq and port settings for the modem 
card. The original values for the modem had now been assigned to the 
SCSI card and the modem had two new values. Changing those values in 
the setserial command to the new ones  found with "cat /proc/pci" put 
everything right again. It's been working for several months with no 
problems. 

Several others have used this procedure successfully. I don't know if 
anyone who has tried it has failed. Good luck.

Re: [newbie] Mandrake 7.3/8.0 - getting ready

[Richard T. Waters]

Since my last question was not as dumb as I thought, let me see if I can get
lucky twice.

If I understand what you are suggesting, since I have 128 meg of memory, I would
make the swap 256meg.  It seems to me
that in the past I have read that once the swap gets above 128, Linux doesn't do
much with the extra size.  Am I totally daffy,
or was this a limitation that recent releases has remedied.

If I have a 10 gig drive, can I assume that boot stays at 64 meg?  Would / stay
at 3.5 or do I want to double that
and leave the remainder for /home?

Thanks!

Re: [newbie] Upgrade to 7.2 on a Dual Boot Laptop

[bascule]

make sure you have boot disk for your current linux system, this way if 
anything goes wrong you can use a boot floppy and run fdisk /mbr and still 
get to windows (maybe you knew that :-) ), then boot from the 7.2 cdrom or if 
your notebook doesn't do that then make a linux boot floppy from the 
cdrom.img file in /images directory on the 7.2 cd and use this to boot,
the only problem i can see here is if your notebook has external floppy, i 
have no experience with such and i do not know how such things boot,

then all you have to do is to choose 'upgrade' from the mandrake 
installation, i would recomend choosing the 'customised' installation option 
so that you can make  sure that diskdrake hasn't 'nullified' your windows 
partitions!

caveat: some folk had probs with upgrade and had to do a new installation, 
same applies here except you must do a customised or expert installtion and 
avoid any 'auto' arranging of your disk space else you will nuke bill's stuff,
warning - on my machine i get a little bug whereby if i use diskdrake during 
installation to assign mount points etc. i have to format any partitions at 
the diskdrake screen, the system would hang at the next step where it asks 
what partitions to format so i would choose none as i had already done that 
and i had no prob.; no need to format /home in any event of course

to sum up: don't let anything 'auto' partition/format whatever; have 2 boot 
disks (1linux + 1windows boot, don't format /home (unless you have nothing to 
keep and haven't configured many programs for users)

any help?

RE: [newbie] USR 5610 Modem on 7.2

[Ben]

Keith, I have the same modem, and had the same problems. Thanks to a member of this 
list(I won't mention Jon's name ::coughs::) I was able to get the correct information 
and get it working with Mandrake 7.0 under the 2.2.14 kernel. (Oddly enough, my papers 
required 2.3.* or higher. I tried downloading a few 2.3 sources and I could not get 
the modem working with them.)

You can find the information from the following file:
http://www.o2.net/~gromitkc/3cp5610.txt

You can find more information about other modems and such from the following site:
http://www.o2.net/~gromitkc/

Hope this helps. Just in case you need help with any of the instructions feel free to 
contact me.

Re: [newbie] DirectPC on Linux?

[BruceCadieux]

I don't think it will run on a Linux box. I have DirecPC with 9 machines sharing the 
connection. But DirecPC uses their own software to run it, and unfortunately that 
requires windows. I can say that DirecPC is an outstanding product for those without 
any other options. For $39.00 a month we get a consistant average download speed of 
600Kb/s. They claim 400 so we are way beyond their claims.

First of all, what version of Mandrake are you running...
and YES...this is the package I refer to...below...
but you also need the package called: timidity-instruments
 these packages should be on your CD...somewhere...

[newbie] X question

[Sarah Barwig]

Hello,

In short, how do I get KDE or GNOME to run. All I can get is twm.

In long:

I've just installed Mandrake7.2 on two boxes. (My first ever attempt at 
linux installation, so I'm feeling pretty good at this point.)

The first installation on a Dell Inspiron 7500 went swimmingly. Everything 
worked automatically like it was supposed to, and I rewarded myself with a 
game of TuxRacer.

Then, I wanted to also install on a Sony VAIO PCGSR-17K. Unfortunately, it 
being a teeny-tiny laptop, it has no floppy or cd-rom drive. So, I 
performed a bit of brain surgery, put the VAIO hd (IBM) into the Dell, and 
installed there. Install went great.

Returned the VAIO hd to the VAIO box, and booted up into linux.

No X. *sigh*

Today, after a bit of struggling, and walking up to strangers on the street 
asking if they know X (well, not quite, just people at work, but I did ask 
everyone...), I got the 4.0.2 drivers down from XFree86.org, convinced the 
config files that they wanted to use the savage driver, and startx now 
produces X. But, I've only got twm, and I can't get either KDE or GNOME out 
of the bugger. (I'd really like AfterStep Enlightenment, but that's for 
later.)

I'm sure I've somehow confused things from the Mandrake standard by doing 
the 4.0.2 XFree86 install. Can someone help me get back on track?

I was not able to find any sound card driver named Timidity on the Linux
Mandrake or tucows web sites.  Where can I download the software you mentioned?  

I found an audio file conversion program called Timidity on the tucows site. 
But, this isn't what you were referring to is it?  Here is the description:

   in real-time.

   TiMidity runs under Linux, FreeBSD, HP-UX, SunOS and

It's very simple!, go to drakconf the clic on tools for booting, then chose 
lilo or grub (grub in this case), chose dos or windows (i don't know which name
you called), then chose default, and thats it.
Ok reboot!

[newbie] No audio cd to blank cd copying apps

Neither xcdroast, eroaster, nor gtoaster will do it,
on the fly direct audio cd to blank cd copying.

Is there a way I can make an iso image using good

That is, if it is possible to make an iso of

RE: [newbie] Network neighborhood

[David Thompson]

 no flames from me, good friend.  You're not emailing the group, but
me as an individual.  I will send the conversation out to the group though,
along with my comments:

SWAT requires you to:

configure /etc/hosts
configure /etc/lmhosts
enable SWAT in /etc/services
  and in /etc/inetd.conf
configure /etc/hosts.allow
configure /etc/hosts.deny   (ALL:ALL)
then type in #killall -HUP inetd
then, from a browser on one of the clients type in http://192.168.1.1:901
and a box should pop up asking for my username and password.

After all of this, I should be able to configure SAMBA (according to the
guide I'm readng), but I'm stuck at the browser box coming up and asking for
my username & password.

[newbie] StarOffice 5.2 - KDE integration kinda flakey

[David Nelson]

Hello,

I recently installed StarOffice 5.2 (SO) on my Linux-Mandrake 7.2 system, and 
I must say it is really cool. The only problem I have with it are some 
inconsistencies and cosmetic problems with its integration into KDE.

The folder entry for SO in the K menu does not have an icon to the left of 
its name like the rest of the entries in the menu. I figured I could fix this 
using the menu editor (menudrake), but the entry for SO does not show up at 
all in the menu editor. Worse yet if you edit anything with the menu editor 
then save your changes the SO entry is completely removed from the K menu.

This makes me think that SO setup program inserted items into the K menu by 
some non-standard unsupported means. I would appreciate it if anyone can tell 
me how to clean this up so that menudrake can see and manupulate the SO 
entries in the K menu.

BTW When I installed SO I did the net install option as root which placed the 
whole 250MB SO install in /usr/share/office52. I then logged into my normal 
user account and ran /usr/share/office52/program/setup which installed about 
3MB of stuff in ~/office52.

Thanks Much
David Nelson

It's configured both ways because so far to burn in linux you have to scsi 
emulate AFAIK. put a premade cd into the drive .go into the GUI which results 
from clicking on the 2 file folder-icon in the bottom of your screen. go up 
one level. click on the cdrom labelled icon which doesn't have a lock on 
it...what happens? if you get a directory listing of the contents, then what 
you really want to know is how to configure a given software program
to burn with cuz the hardware part is already ok.

I'm having exactly the same problem as you Rob and not being able to access
my CDRW is holding me back from exploring Linux further.  I've been
searching for a cure for this problem but no luck so far

Re: [newbie] Cd recorder works but-----

Why they dont put CDROMs aswell as CDWriters as scsi-emulation by default, is 
anyones guess, anyone know a reason not too? I have had no problems having 
CDROM as ide-scsi
 

[newbie] Not a question

[rob]

Hi there all
this is my first post. I have been following the group for some  time and 
have learnt a lot. I am using LM 7.2 and it is excellent`. I finally took 
the plunge and bought myself an external modem. So now I can surf the net on 
LM-and it configured my printer and other stuff. The only thing I am having 
problems with is my CDRW - I have followed the  tutorial but it still will 
not work. I thinkj it may be something to do with permissions and the fact 
that the CDRW is showing twice both as an IDE drive(which it really is )and 
configured under LM as a SCSI. I will keep on trying(and reading the posts).
The great thing about linux is the range of choice it gives to the user 
unlike some other OS I can think of> its harder to use at least initially but 
more rewarding by the same token
For total beginners Linux is hard. I was OK with W98-but I think experienced 
linux users forget that it is necessary to learn a whole new language to get 
to grips with Linux- so even help and advice can be useles if the beginner 
does not understand the language. I think LM 7.2 has made a great start with 
its tutorials- because they are graphically based they overcome some of these 
language problems. Anyway well done LM . I now only use W98 for games. I 
think one of the ways of increasing use of linux generally will be to make it 
easier to configure graphics cards- there is a huge potential market and a 
whole lot of people who would make to change to linux if they could play the 
games more easily. Even so- I have tried Heretic 11 on W98 and its good- but 
it looks and plays better under linux unfortunately I only have a demo for 
linux)

[newbie] ftp installation

[Bryant Morrison F47743C]

Is there any documentation on setting up a ftp-based installation?  I have
an extra PC with no CD-ROM, but a 3Com NIC installed.  I have installed
Mandrake 7.0 on another machine and have wu-ftp working with anonymous
logins.  I tried mounting the 7.0 CD to /home/ftp/pub/7.0, but received an
error from the network boot disk saying unable to find mdkinst_stage2.gz.  I
know the client is setup correctly because after setting up the NIC and ip
address (192.168.0.20), it can be pinged from another machine.  What I am
missing?

Thanks in advance for any replies.

Hi Woodrow. I've got a WinTV-dbx model 401 (don't let the name fool ya) that
works well with Kwintv here under Mandrake v7.1.  Picked it up off of
pricewatch for about $80-90. Does TV and FM radio. I had to recompile my
kernel to support loadable modules, and add the latest bttv release (at that
time), but it works great now.

PS There is a pretty good newbinized mini how-to help file that covers
installing bttv and TV tuner cards.

Root typically installs SO (about 120+mb).  Then each user installs their own 
*account* in their ~ directory (usually about 3-4mb).  This is done by choosing 
"network install"  (I believe that's what it's called).  You needn't be on a 
*network*.  That's just what it's called.  It would be rather wastefull if let's say 
three different users each had to install the full 120+mb.
HTH,

Re: [newbie] Monitor goes dead.

[Riker]

I had a similar problem with an S3 TRIO and the only way I could get the
card to work was during the installation processes. Boot from the CD and
hit F1 when the CD first boots (you should see and option for it). Then
type 'vgalo' in the command line. Once I did this, my video came up and
worked pretty good. Hopes this helps, 'cause I know how frustrating this
problem can be. I worked on it for three weeks in my spare time.

Please let me know if this was a help, as I'm a newbie myself. :)

[newbie] slocate and logrotate

[Renato Tognaccini]

Hi ,
I am running Mandrake 7.1 and I have the following problem.
The process logrotate,  executed each day by cron daemon, runs
for hours (about 8 hours), when it stops, slocate process starts and it
takes all the morning to do its job therefore I almost  dedicate my
CPU to perform these two
processes each day!!! I already updated logrotate and syslogd from
the net. I have a Pentium III (450 MHz).
Do you know why these processes run so long?
Thank you and Bye
Renato

RE: [newbie] Problems with 7.2 and external modem

[Fireman71]

some more info this problem:

Feb  4 03:52:47 hp1 ifup-ppp: pppd started for ppp0 on /dev/modem at 115200
Feb  4 03:52:47 hp1 modprobe: modprobe: Can't locate module char-major-108
Feb  4 03:52:47 hp1 kernel: registered device ppp0
Feb  4 03:52:47 hp1 pppd[2157]: pppd 2.4.0 started by root, uid 0
Feb  4 03:52:48 hp1 pppd[2157]: Connect script failed
Feb  4 03:52:49 hp1 pppd[2157]: Exit.

I am wondering mainly about the modprobe error. Could this be the cause of
the problem with ifup not working instead of harddrake's refusal to detect
my modem? If so what might i be able to do to fix it?

Again, thanks in advance,
Ian K. Harrell

Subject: [newbie] Problems with 7.2 and external modem


After putting 7.2 on a machine i got from work (pentium 120, 32meg ram) i
decided to put it on my network and replace an older machine that i was
using as file/print server and firewall ip masqer.

I attached the external 3com/USR 56k Voice Faxmodem Pro Model #525 that i
had been using under 7.1 with no problems to ttyS0 on the 7.2 box and when
first booting the 7.2 it came up and detected my  modem as an external 56K
USR just like it did in 7.1 during the "checking for new hardware" phase.  I
then went to harddrake and let it do its thing.  It didn't detect the modem
at all but did find everything else.  I then used kppp  and it was able to
find the modem and connect to the Internet just fine.  Why isn't harddrake
able to find it?  In 7.1 harddrake detected this same modem perfectly with
no problem at all. What do I need to do to fix this? I cant use kppp to make
the connection since i need to be able to start it via telnet from another
machine and /sbin/ifup wont work until the modem gets configured. At least i
cant get it to work and under 7.1 it didnt work until harddrake had detected
the modem.

Thanks in advance,

Re: [newbie] Trouble with update

[Venkatesh Raghavan]

Hi All,

It seemd that a new CUPS update with libcups1
will be available shortly.

Now I come to the problem about PHP update.

I have configured my PHP4.0.3pl1-1mdk with
postgres database module.

Security updates to  PHP4.0.4pl1-1.2mdk is
currently available, but when I do the
update using "Mandrake Update" postgresqlcommands
in PHP script do not work.

Does anyone have the same problem?
Is there a solution to allow update and
also get the postgresql calls in my
PHP script to work.

Thanks in advance.

Venkatesh
