Re: [newbie-it] problemi con l'audio
Ciao a tutti, ho anche io un problema simile a questo. Ho reinstallato la mdk 7.2 di recente, e anche a me da un po' di tempo l'audio non funziona. Dopo aver provato a configurare la scheda audio (soundblaster 128) con hard drake ricevo la risposta: errore nella chiamata a modprobe! /lib/modules/2.2.17-21mdk/misc/es1371.0: init module:dispositivo o risorsa occupata. /lib/modules/2.2.17-21 mdk/misc/es1371.o:insmod/lib/modules/2.2.17-21mdk/misc/es1371.o failed /lib/modules/2.2.17-21mdk/misc/es1371.o insmod sound-slot-o failed questo problema mi si manifestato da un po' di tempo a a questa parte, prima la rilevazione hardware andava benissimo,e tra l'altro ho anche la scheda di rete che non va, mentre prima andava benissimo (rilevava l'indirizzo dhcp dal pc che in casa ci fa da server). Ho notato che la sk audio e quella di rete hanno lo stesso irq , il 5. Pu quindi dipendere da un settaggio del bios? Lo stesso aurora, durante il boot mi segnala di non riuscire a caricare il modulo audio, e che pu dipendere dall'irq o dall'indirizzo i/o. Per questo motivo qualche giorno fa ho scritto che avevo problemi di compilazione, perch ho trovato che durante la compilazione possibile attribuirne uno diverso... qualcuno in grado di aiutarmi o darmi qualche spunto di lavoro?

I assume you are in a GUI.
Type:
DrakConf
and next click on "Tools for booting"
choose configure LILO/GRUB
click on "OK"
next choose "Add"
Choose "Linux"
Give it a label (title) name like "scratch-kernel"
Point "Image" to your kernel by clicking on the "upside-down triangle"
The "Root" should be correct. If not... make it so (Star Trek).
Append whatever parameters you have to pass. Mine has nothing specified
in this box.
Click on the "Default" box if you want this to be your default kernel.
Choose "Ok"
Click on "Done"
Quit out of DrakConf and (believe it or not) reboot.

This can have bad effects on your installation. Try using the "Reccommended" installation method, then repeat installation using "Customised" - Update , not "Install" . Remove any packages you don't want on your system prior to doing the Customized Update. What you need here is a stable installation first, then add the extra's that you want. Have you tried doing your previous installations exactly the same way each time? If so, you may have a bad sector on your hard drive, and the same package is causing the same problem each time because it's on the bad sector. In which case it only appears that this package is causing your problem, but in fact the drive is the problem. Can you get by without the seiko printpro package? At least for now? I'd like to suggest that you install as per above suggestions. When the PC is running smoothly ( a day or so ) do the updates ( DrakConf / Update software ), and then do the Seiko / Printpro package. Something else,...If you have a second PC connected to the Internet, find a reliable Update mirror site, and then DOWNLOAD the updates, don't let the "Update Software" utility do it. Burn the updates to CD, and use "Kpackage" to update the P2 450 system. Make sure to use the "Check Dependencies" option in Kpackage when doing the updates. I've found some minor problems with the updater, where it doesn't always install library files related to random packages, but Kpackage will warn you if any package needs additional files before allowing you to install anything. Download the libraries or whatever it needs and install them first. Hope this info helps. -- Dan LaBine Maximum LAN's Ltd. Registered Linux User #190712
Re: [newbie] hmmm.... LM 7.2 installation queries
On Sunday 18 February 2001 01:36, you wrote: Hi all, I've just decided to give Mandrake a go (Redhat otherwise) am having some fun getting the LM 7.2 installer to work...: 1) perl script errors on trying to mount "/" in the diskdruid (??) program. I'd set the mount point format the disk, but then trying to mount it would generate a perl script error on line 218 of some script. Perhaps it's not necessary as it does eventually get mounted anyway... just curious to know what the deal is. 2) Erroneous disk space requirements reported: Regardless of what I select on the high level package selection screen, it always reports hefty disk space requirements. Manual calculation would indicat that the selected package groups would require say 1.1GB, yet the installer would turn around stat that 2.6GB was required. why is this? How can I get around it? 3) Xserver lockups on resolution test. After successfully detecting my S3 Virge/DX video card, and having spcified my exact monitor type (Samsung 17GLi), the test of the minimal resolution I'd selected (800x600x16, or did I select any??) would just result in a permanent black screen. I've not really ever had this problem before (to my recollection) under Redhat Debian. 4) Missing files after install. After an eventual successful install (various bypasses to the problems above) some tools seem to be missing: Xconfigurator - should that not be in /usr/X11R6/bin just like XF86config is?; On boot of an older machine (installed via ftp from the newer one) init is loaded but then asks what runlevel to switch to! I've not checked, but perhaps the rc.d ( associated) directories are screwed up? I'm wondering if perhaps these files ( others) are missing due to the fact that I'd had to let the installed trim the installation base down from 2.6GB to 1.3GB, as described in point 2 above. hmmm surely these files would not get the chop so easily? Well, I like the look/feel of LM, but these issues ain't no fun. RH7.0 and DB2.2 installs went relatively flawlessly, so the impression ain't too good.

Re: [newbie] Bootload Problems.
I ran into that today. I just installed a new computer: Gigabyte 7IXE, AMD Athlon 750. One HDD on IDE 0 as Master, other on IDE 1 as Master. I told the BIOS to boot from IDE 1 when no boot floppy present. Stuck in the LM Installation floppy and instaleed LM on IDE 1 (hdc1 in LM). At end of install, told LM to install the boot loader in the MBR, thinking it would put it in HDE 1. Well, it didn't. It put it in IDE 0! Merde. So tried to boot from IDE 1, stuck on "stage 1." More merde. Cranked LM up from IDE O tried to reconfigure LILO to boot from hdc1. Nope, sticks on stage 1. Grrr... So I can boot from the floppy or the Windoze disk. Nuts. I'm going to try cabling up the target HDD as IDE 0, install Linux and then recable to IDE 1, then tell the BIOS to boot from IDE 1. May screw up the hdd link in LM though. If it doesn't work, I'll RTFMs some more; see how the other option in the bootloader question works. CR

ciao,
If you setup your "/home" directory to be on a seperate partition, the
damage of reinstalling is minimal. You will not lose anyfiles that you
have placed into this directory but you should not choose to **format**
this directory when the partitioner asks you for this action. Format "/"
and mayber "/boot" if they are seperate and you should be ok.

[newbie] It's all LUCK, and mine was BAD
I put in a standard LM-7.2 setup from a 4 CD set. First it took two weeks to figure out what was wrong in fstab so I could mount the CDROM (and Mandrakesoft couldn't help), and finding a place to put mem=56K so the shared video ram would work. Still no one can tell me how to use a USB modem. The kernel supports it, my modem is listed as a supported modem (linux-usb org), LM-7.2 put in a huge amount of USB files and recognized two USB ports. I still get a Aieee kernel panic, swapper no syncing error if I boot in anything but graphical mode. Corel Photo loads but won't run because Fonttastic is missing. The MAndrake help page give directions to install it from the Install CD, but it is not on the Install CD. Corel WP-8 won't install, not from the Wbesite, not from two differenct CD's, one of them a Mandrake 6.5 CD. Windows may crash a lot, but at least it WORKS in between crashing. What good is Linux not crashing, if you can't get anything working? I'm new to Linux, but not to computers. I do tech support for modems. I can follow instructions, but when it says (man 8 mount) to look in /linux/fs/filesystems.c for a list of supported filesystems, when /linux/fs directory doesn't exist how can you do anything???

Re: [newbie] It's all LUCK, and mine was BAD
Welcome to linux. This is what linux is all about (stress.) You can use an easy reset technique that lets you start again. (NOTE: A very bad idea would be to get another distro. I have tried eight gazilion (actually 3) and sadly this is the easiest to use... The easy reset technique is as follows: 1. Delete your current Linux mandrake system and reinstall linux 2. Complain to the computer who makes your modem and ask about linux support. A likely response is "We don't support it." (followed by the representative hanging up on you.) 3. Get a new modem that says all over the box things like "Supports linux" and "Tested with linux" and even "Comes with linux." 4. Find out that the company dosn't provide technical suport for using the modem with linux. 5. Go to Mandrakeexperts.com and type in your question (As soon as you press submit the site goes down. I have tried this numeras times.) 6. Have a nervious breakdown I have gone through all these steps myself except for with a USB ethernet card. (The "linux supported"(false advertising)was a non-USB one where you have to break your back and open the computer. Hope this helps.

Re: [newbie] How to find packages?
Have a look at http://www.rpmfind.net. You can use packages labelled "Mandrake". Mandrake Cooker and Red Hat use RPM 4, which is incompatible with Mandrake 7.2's RPM 3. To use these, you will have to download and compile the source (.src.rpm) packages.

Where do I find these packages? Somewhere at the Mandrake FTP site? Or are they included somewhere on the CD? If so, how do I find them?

ciao,
If you setup your "/home" directory to be on a seperate
partition, the damage of reinstalling is minimal. You will not
lose anyfiles that you have placed into this directory but you
should not choose to **format** this directory when the
partitioner asks you for this action. Format "/" and mayber
"/boot" if they are seperate and you should be ok.
Very true but also a way to keep configuration-faults 'alive'
especialy on the xserver side.
That is true if you have placed configuration information into your home
directory that directly affects your system hardware to work. It is my
impression that "/home" stores "personal" information and configuration.
I have been upgrading betas and what not for over fourteen months and I
haven't had any problems with sparing my "/home" directory. If anything,
that is the only directory that needs to be spared unless you plan to
switch the type of filesystem that it is under (ie ext2 converted to
Reiserfs), then you would need to backup.

[newbie] Epson_777 Yaaeee! and booooo.
Well, I finally have gotten the above referenced printer to work. I'm not sure what the deal was. It began working after I uninstalled cups, install lpr, uninstalled lpr, and couldn't reinstall cups from cd due to insane depencies (?). So I downloaded a newer cups drivers from rpmfind (tho a version lower than on the mandrake updates which also had unreal dependency issues) and now it works, even in Word Perfect (which has given me fits in the past). Abiword, Kword work also. But with Star Office the *test* page prints correctly under local default, but the typed page is printed without any top or left margin so it seems tho the settings are set at 25.40 mm each. Anyone experience this and was able to figure out why and how to fix it? TIA, -s

First it took two weeks to figure out what was wrong in fstab so I could mount the CDROM (and Mandrakesoft couldn't help), and finding a place to put mem=56K so the shared video ram would work. Still no one can tell me how to use a USB modem. The kernel supports it, my modem is listed as a supported modem (linux-usb org), LM-7.2 put in a huge amount of USB files and recognized two USB ports. I still get a Aieee kernel panic, swapper no syncing error if I boot in anything but graphical mode. Corel Photo loads but won't run because Fonttastic is missing. The MAndrake help page give directions to install it from the Install CD, but it is not on the Install CD. Corel WP-8 won't install, not from the Wbesite, not from two differenct CD's, one of them a Mandrake 6.5 CD. Windows may crash a lot, but at least it WORKS in between crashing. What good is Linux not crashing, if you can't get anything working? I'm new to Linux, but not to computers. I do tech support for modems. I can follow instructions, but when it says (man 8 mount) to look in /linux/fs/filesystems.c for a list of supported filesystems, when /linux/fs directory doesn't exist how can you do anything??? When it tells you to load 'fonttastic rpms' from the Install CD and it doesn't exist what can you do??? Don Face it--Linux is not for everybody. First, if you're going to install linux be very careful about what hardware you put in your machine. USB modems may work, but avoid the hassle of a "new" technology and get a modem that is proven to work with the operating system. I use NT4.0 a lot, and hardware is definitely easier to configure with linux. But, NT4 is the MS equivalent of linux, and you wouldn't even THINK about anything USB with 4.0, would you? By the way, the Mem= solution is posted all over the internet (I had the same problem a couple of years ago and found it in 15 minutes). And sometimes, the BEST learning experience is to re-install and re-install until you get it right. Especially when dealing with X-servers--and since you have a vidcard built into the mobo--well, I see that as a problem right from the get-go. Linux does not work well with with half-assed hardware solutions. The only card that I'll even consider when built into a mobo is scsi. I've gotten soundcards and video cards to work, but they were a hassle every time. Once you've made the same mistake a couple of times, then it'll sink in (not a criticism, I've been there--many times). Second, linux actually has several different versions, with the file systems slightly different. Where one system (which the help file is written for) says a file is may not be exactly correct. It's a failure of the help file, and possible one of the "forking" difficulties that is being talked about all over the linux community. And finally, check the archives of this list for the problems associated with the "fontastic install". I recall someone posting the solution to this within the past month. I seem to recall someone posting a difficulty with WP8 fairly recently, too--I didn't pay much attention since I've installed it on 7.0 and 7.1 and then never used it.

[newbie] Finding monitor specifications.
I tried installing 7.2, and when I tried to start linux it showed the login screen with the blocky penguin at the top left, then all picture died. I guessed it had something to do with my complete shot in the dark guess about my monitor specifications. I searched the mailing list archives, and I was right, but I still can't guess the right specifications. I have a Samsung SyncMaster 4Ne (it says that in big letters on the front of my monitor), but the samsung site doesn't awknowledge the existance of something this old. Original paper documentation for this system was lost during the last ownership - I have never even seen it. So, does anyone know of an -intelligent- way to go about guessing my monitor specifications? And, is there a way to change the configuration for the monitor without completely re-installing? An hour between getting to guess makes guessing completely no fun. Thanks, April

Re: [newbie] compiling for windows
Possibly, if you could emulate the compiler (using Wine or something). Natively compiling it in Linux? Hell no, better write your own. However, if you would like to port a Linux app to Windows, you could try using DJGPP -- a dos implementation of the gnu compile tools. If it's just a console app you can probably compile with no problems (it even fakes a lot of Linux services). If the specific app has a GUI, you'll need to do a lot of modifying (and get the library for Windows apps -- I can't recall its name). Don't ask me how to do that, I only know ansi C++.

[newbie] Install From hard drive question
I am having problems installing 7.2 from the CD's and I see in the documentation you can install from the hard drive but there is not alot of info about it. My main question is where do I put the the 4 CDs on my windows drive so the install can see them?
Re: [newbie] upgrade kernel?
for compile anything you want you'll need : -- compiler gcc (and some libs for making dependences of rpm's packages) --- kernel -headers -- kernel-source (from kernel you actually you have installed) -- the source files you want to compile -- another libs what depends on what the headers (from the source files you want to compile) need. You'll need to compile a new kernel when the new thing you want to add to is not possible to insert as a module. or when the new thing is essential during boot (for example filesystem suport for ext2fs ) Paul Rodrguez wrote: What problems are you having when you try to compile. -Paul R -Original Message- From: [EMAIL PROTECTED] [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED]]On Behalf Of goldenpi Sent: Sunday, February 18, 2001 6:06 PM To: [EMAIL PROTECTED] Subject: [newbie] upgrade kernel?

Get behind your monitor and look for serial numbers, part numbers, FCC id's etc. Then go to: http://driverguide.com/ There is/are search facilities there which _should_ point you in the right direction. You can also boot to your non-GUI console (At lilo prompt, type 'linux 3' (without the quotes)) and run 'Xconfigurator' (again no quotes') and from there try various monitor types, starting with the 'High Frequency SVGA' and so on until you find something which fits.
