[newbie-it] path di sounddrake
non riesco a configurare la mia scheda sonora (una vecchia Sound Blaster 16 bit che con Red Hat 6.2 funzionava alla perfezione). Ho provato con sndconfig incluso in Mandrake, messo gli IRQ, DMA, ecc.. giusti ma non riesco a caricare il modulo all'avvio... mi d errore come se gli IRQ fossero sbagliati... eppure lo stesso tool con la Red Hat funzionava. Vorrei provare con sounddrake, ma non ce l'ho installato e non riesco a capire quale RPM lo contiene. Qualcuno potrebbe dirmi il path di sounddrake? Dovreste vederlo andando dal desktop KDE su DrakConf/Hardware Configuration/ Option/Probing Options/Soundcards. grazie

Your xine appears to acess "/dev/rdvd", which is your "raw dvd input

Re: [newbie] laptop install
Hi! I have Mandrake 7.0-2 on an Inspiron 3800. I had some problems with the install but once I did the partioning manually everything worked fine. However, my machine (acquired in June last year) comes with a built-in Winmodem which is not supported by Mandrake 7.0-2. Same thing with the ESS soundcard (actually, the modem and the soundcard is the same hardware), but I think Mandrake 7.2 supports the soundcard. Don't know about the modem, though. I'm using DSL (via a PCMCIA Ethernet card and Roaring Penguins pppoe-software) and that works great. There are som really good resources on installing Linux on laptops on the Web. You can probably find them by searching for Linux and Inspiron 3800, but let me know if you want me to dig out the URL. I've got it somewhere...

[newbie] Re: How to find packages?
use the package manager in drakeconf, and install afterstep, you should find that it will tell you what packages you need and automaticaly install them for you.. hope this helps. Thank you for your help, but no, unfortunately it doesn't help. When I installed Mandrake I also installed AfterStep, and it worked just fine. The problem is that I stupidly tried to upgrade AfterStep to a later version. What happened then was that AfterStep stopped working altogether, and when I asked the AfterStep people about this, they told me that I needed to install some additional packages. So you see the packages needed to run the version of AfterStep included on the Mandrake CD are not enough. That does not mean that the packages I need are not included on that CD though -- they may well be -- it just means that I don't know how to go about to find them. DRX -Original Message- I need two packages: one called "XFree86-devel-4.0.1-28mdk.i586.rpm," and the other was described like this: "I don't know how the other one called, but it should be for headers for development with graphics libraries." 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? The reason I need them is that I would like to use AfterStep, and I have been told by the AfterStep people that I need to get these two packages in order to be able to use AfterStep -- even though I chose "everything" when I installed Mandrake.

Any suggestions?
Thanks,

You can do one of many things. First, let us check your font server
(xfs) status.
(as root)
/sbin/service xfs status
If it says something to the effect of;
xfs (pid 659) is running...
Issue this command next
(as root)
/sbin/service xfs restart
then rerun your X server:
startx
If you don't have your xfs server running, input this command:
(as root)
/sbin/service xfs start
then run your X server:
startx
If your X server still will not load, try this "soft" hack using your
favorite editor:
(as root)
Open up your XF86Config-4 file and go to the line:
FontPath "unix/:-1"
uncomment this line. It should look like this:
#FontPath "unix/:-1"
Save and quit out of the editor. Restart your X server once again:
startx
I guarantee that this should make it work. If I am wrong, you can call
me Susan! LoL (still do this as a last resort)
Once your X server is running again, you can recomment your FontPath
once again:
(as root using your favorite editor)
go back to the line:
#FontPath "unix/:-1"
and remove the uncomment:
FontPath "unix/:-1"
Save and quit. Your X server shall now run as good as new.

already mounted cannot continue, same for /hda9. It drops me back to

it
won't unmount (says it's in use). hda9 unmounts fine. (incidentally,
hda8
is my /usr partition) I'm assuming umount is running from /usr or using
libc on that partition, and thus cannot unmount it. How do I unmount it
then? And why would this have happened in the first place? When I

both hda8 and hda9 are already mounted already (again). Any clues?

It's not on either of the CDs that have WP8, nor the CD with Corel PhotoPaint. Mandrake seems to be hoplessly lost.

[newbie] XFree86 4.0.1 freezes on P133... help!
Hello here :) I have an old P133 (without MMX), video is ATI Mach64. Trying to install Mandrake 7.2 (Odyssey) on it. I have big problems making XFree86 4.0.1 work. When I start X and initial KDE screen shows up strange things start to happen. Some (not all) text is garbled and screwed into unreadable mess (like hints in KGandalf or KDE panel menu). And soon after several clicks X locks up completely, mouse doesn't move, no keys work. Readme for Mandrake 7.2 says I need pentium but there is no word about whether it should have MMX or not. I already had problems with i586 packages that came with Mandrake 7.0 that use MMX (Mesa). So I'd like to hear an answer, could it be the case here? If not, I'd like to hear if there are any other solutions... -- Gregory
[newbie] Adaptec SCSI Installation AVA 1505
I have come into posession of an Adaptec AVA 1505 scsi i/f board (isa bus), which, if I can get it running will allow me to use my Colorado tape drive. The board appears to have generated a lot of mails on one group and another. What is common to all of them is that it is implied that the board is usable with the aha152x driver - which certainly comes with the 7.2 distribution. I have set the card's jumpers to use interrupt 9 and i/o port 140. It is installed in my sole, available isa slot. Using the command insmod aha152 aha152x=0x140,9 gives me the message Using /lib/modules/2.2.17-21mdk/scsi/aha152x.o: init_module: Device or resource busy Hint: insmod errors can be caused by incorrect module parameters including invalid IO or IRQ parameters I have tried including the device number (7) in the command. I have tried using modprobe instead (modprobe -a aha152x aha152x=0x140,9,7 etc) If anyone can come up with the magic technique I would be thrilled, grateful, ecstatic (insert adjective of choice). regards Daryl Johnson

Re: [newbie] Testing for bad RAM
On this subject of RAM incompatibility... I have a stick of RAM that someone gave me to boost me up past 64mb. When I first installed it it would do ok, but then it would get where sometimes it would show on boot up and others it wouldn't then (in evil windows since i haven't put it back after installing LM) my computer started popping up more errors and illegals than it ever had before. When I pulled the RAM it went back to normal (for windows). Is there a way for me to find out if the 2 sticks are just incompatible or if the 1 stick is just borked up?

Re: [newbie] [OT] What would be an ideal (but reasonable) LM7.2 desktop platform
Bogomips rating seems actually based only on Processor performance. Me not sure how the formula for calculating that, if you interested you can check out from /use/doc/*HOWTO*mini*BOGOMIPS* I took the rating from there, but I have to correct my bogomips rate. My actual rate is 1798 something the like. The rate 19xx must be the rate after overcloked to 1GH, I did it once. That is correct that the other equipment (ram, etc) dun affect too much to the rating. I got the experince long ago as I measured it on my 486-40 MH, if not false remembered I got 19.6 Wheatstone, .. have maybe other criteria. I think, the CPU and RAM would have no problem to be overcloked, it takes some ten thousend of years untill the silicon of those ram/cpu fully oxidized, further more silicon smells over 1000 degree of celcius, so dun worry of overclocking them. The thing there is, the award bios menu (abit mobo) for overclocking required the multiplier frequency to be set. If I want to overclock mah CPU to 1.2 GH, I think I should choose aboout 140 MH bus frequency with multiplier 9. It could be problem for mechanism of the ATA100 HD to deliver the data properly at that frequency (pci spec is 133 mhz), but It may dun hurt the HD .. Ok, I still interested on which parameter to use for mah "WinFast Geforce2 MX"-Graphich device and Phillips 107s monitor, ne1 has them ?

[newbie] modem
I am a total command line illiterate! I have an Actiontec Call Waiting modem that I was able to get working once. On re-boot and ever since I have not been able to connect. In Windows it is on com port 5 and linux is ttyS4. Two of the steps in the modem installation instructions are in question. 1. the line "chmod 666 /dev/ttySx" returns the error "don't know how". Replacing the x with 4 solves that problem. 2. "setserial /dev/modem uart 16550A prot 0xa000 irq 11" Is the syntax correct in this line? The same line was used earlier with "port" instead of "prot". This modem is recognized as a Lucent Tech modem and Actiontec is not listed in the configurator. Lee
