Re: [newbie] Shaw @home Cable Modem Setup
Open netconf -> Host name and IP network devices -> Adaptor 1. Check "Enabled" and "Dhcp". For Net device put "eth0" and for the kernel module put "eepro100". Accept all of these and reboot just to be sure. Now run "/sbin/dhcpcd -d -n -h COxxx-A eth0" - you should be able to connect to @Home. To have this execute at startup just add this line to your /etc/rc.d/rc.local file.

Re: [newbie] i need help with installation
ok, ata 100 is an ide based solution. Not SCSI 2 ata 100 can be turned off in the bios, reducing the system to a more normal ata 33 which is supported.

Has anyone had problems with their 8.0 installation and seting up the bootloader? I can't seem to get there.

Re: [newbie] need help loading debugger
Ok first about your CD rom. if you are using linix Mandrake 7.2 you should have Drake config installed. At least I do but I not running linux4Windows. Run drake config (go into) -> "linix config - system configutartion" -> file systems -> access local drive. From there you should be able to mount and unmount your CD ROM. I have installed Linux 7.2 (stand alone I dont know anything about this lnx4win) and have no problem with this CD rom bizzo as I belive supermount mounts and unmounts it for me. As for the debugger I have never heard of ddd (typeo?). there is a gdb debugger though and I will tell you the probelm I am currently stuck on. Linux Mandrake dost not have the debug symbols in there libraries/kernal ??? (I'm not sure which) by default. so you cant use a debugger until you recomplile some part of it. For instance I deliberatly caused a access violation (segmentation fault) in my code and although the kernal nukes my app with segmentation fault is does not do a core dump that I can run a dubber over to find the offending line :( This souldnt be hard to fix / turn on I have only just stated looking for a solution. regards Michael Bushby. ) mike smalheiser wrote: > ok, this is the first time i've ever posted a question, and i'm not very > knowlegdeable with linux at all, so forgive me if i ask questions with > painfully obvious answers. first off i guess i should say that i am > using linux mandrake 7.2 complete. i am trying to learn c programming, > so i need the gcc compliler, the make utility, and a debugger. the book > i am reading "teach yourself c for linux programming in 21 days", > reccomends that i use the ddd debugger. i typed in gcc -v, and make -v > in the console to make sure i had the compiler and make utility > installed, which i did, but i can't find anything on the debugger. i > don't know if i have one installed or what. there is a cd that came > with my book that has all the stuff for the compiler, and make utility > and ddd debugger. i was wondering how to install the debugger off of > the cd if anybody could help me with that. i don't really know how to > use the redhat package manager. and secondly, that leaves me with the > question , is my cd rom mounted? i'm not really sure how to tell if it > is or not, and if it isn't, i don't know how to mount it. i have linux > set up ontop of windows 98 with lnx4win. if i put a cd in the cd rom in > windows, and than boot into linux, linux will read the cd that is in. > but if i put a cd in, while already in linux, i get errors, and it > won't read the cd. if anybody could help me out, i would so greatly > appreciate it. i'm sorry this is so long, i don't know if you are > supposed to keep these messages short or not. > thank you very much, > mike > _ > Get Your Private, Free E-mail from MSN Hotmail at http://www.hotmail.com.

[newbie] Cups 1.1.6 Conflicts and HP612
I'm replying to Bill about his HP612 printer, and to the post about the CUPS 1.1.6 conflicts. Bill,...the reason your HP printer isn't working is because you've got "printpro" installed. Log in as root, open a terminal, fire up kpackage, and manually remove any and all printopro entries. Then using either kpackage or the Mandrake update, update "ghostscript", then get cups, cups=common, and cups-drivers. Install them in the correct order (what other way is there?) and check in DrakConf for the section called "Startup Services". You should find a new entry called "cups-lpd" . Click the button to have it start on boot-up, and just for the fun of it ( a trip down memory lane ! ) , reboot your PC. Go into DrakConf, open up "Printer Configuration", delete any printers you may already have in there, and re-install your 612. It will probably detect it automatically, but if not, try any HP printers with a 600 series model number, the lower the number the better. Now, Dennis, your already on the right track. Follow the instructions your getting and delete your previous versions of cups. If another package needs one of your cups packages make a not of the package, delete it, and re-install it after you've finished with cups. Next, you have no choice but to install a new copy of ghostscript. If the new version of cups wants a newer version of ghostscript, then get it, and install it. Otherwise, stay with the one you have. A word of advice here. Any package with the text "devel" in the name, is an add-on which is only required if you want to write programs for the main package it refers to. Therefore, if you wanted to write a new printer-driver for "cups", you would need cups-devel", and ONLY then. If your not a "Code-Warrior" (see programmer), then those nasty "devel" packages are just taking up room on your hard drive for nothing. One more thing,...use "kpackage" to do all of the installing and un-installing. Log-in as root to use kpackage. Go to "www.rpmfind.net" to download the "rpm" packages you need, and then install them in the proper sequence. You'll be needing ghostscript, cups, cups-common, and cups-drivers. Follow my instructions in the first paragraph above and you should do fine. Good luck to both of you. -- Dan LaBine Maximum L.A.N.'s Ltd Registered Linux User #190712

I have entered all the correct monitor settings. Other distributions work well with my monitor and these settings. I have experimented with different settings etc. but the display is consistantly bad. The picture is offset to the right -- there are dotted lines running down the screen -- the picture is not sharp.

Re: [newbie] sendmail
Robert, Fetchmail is also already loaded on your system. The first thing you want to do is to run Pine for the first time. This will get the dir in /var/spool/mail ready to accept messages for you. It will also give Pine a chance to get setup for running. The next thing you will want to do is make sure all the settings in Pine are as you want them to me. As I mentioned to you in the previous message the preference in Pine where it wants to know the name of the smtp-server you can leave that blank and Pine will by default use the systems SMTP whether you have Postfix or Sendmail running. If you already have the host name configured then you can enter that in there. Ex: machinename.host.com In my case, and I'm using Sendmail/fetchmail/procmail to do the mail sending and receiving my SMTP-SERVER is mdw1982.dyndns.org machine name = mdw1982 domain = dyndns.org Otherwise just leave it blank and everything will work just fine. To use Fetchmail to bring the mail down from your ISP you can do one of a few ways. The simplest way to do this is to issue the command in a terminal window like this; fetchmail mail.charter.net When it asks you for a password you type in the password you authenticate yourself to your ISP with when you log into the mail server to collect your email. If your Linux system username differs from the one that is your user name with your ISP, which in this case is "wormie", then your sendmail command would look something like this; fetchmail -u wormie mail.charter.net If this is the case then you're going to have to set up an alias on your system so that when ever fetchmail gets the mail from your ISP for "wormie" it will no "who's" /var/spool/mail/$USER dir to deposit the mail into. If you find that you do have to setup an alias let me know and we can go over that at the time. Once you're sure that everything is working correctly you can setup fetchmail to collect the mail on a more permanent basis using fetchmailconf. That will help you configure a .fetchmailrc file that everytime you connect to the internet it will automatically connect to your ISP's mailserver and download the mail for you. You can run fetchmail as a daemon in the background by typing fetchmail -d 150 -u wormie mail.charter.net This will check the mail server every 3 minutes for new messages. And you can force a check by issuing the command on the command line by typing fetchmail After the mail is brought down there remains only one thing and that's to read it. enjoy, Mark Robert Boggs wrote: > > Mark, when I typed all that you told me to about postfix, I got the > following. postfix-19991231p108-5mdk.

Thanks for your help. > Kevin I don't know about the usb support on 7.2, your chances may be better on the next release 8.0. With that said, from what I have seen and my setups I went with two internals since I could get two for less than a usb or serial external at the time. Here is the thing, data transfer on usb is supposed to be high speed, but a cdrw can only handle so fast a speed as the buffers and read will allow. When a cdrw is designated a 4x4x6 for example: 4x write and 4x rewrite and 6x read with the x standing for the speed = to 4 times 150kbs or 600kbs of data transfer for a maximum. So you see the usb is capable of the data transfers of most any cdrw but it is the cdrw speed that governs the process. The other factor to consider is the buffer mem of the cdrw the higher the number the less chance of getting a bad burn.due to what is called buffer overrun. You now know everything that I know about cdrw's. Hope this helped or at least did not hurt. If anyone out there sees an error in my discourse please jump in here and correct me. Good luck, -- Dennis M. registered linux user # 180842
Re: [newbie] sendmail
Robert, Unless you REALLY want to use Sendmail, you will have to uninstall postfix first. then you will have to reinstall all the sendmail packages that are on your install CD's. If you don't want to go to all that trouble though you can just as easily use Pine and Postfix. To check your system for postfix, or for that matter Sendmail or any other package just use this on the command line to search the system for the packages that are loaded. rpm -qa | grep Example: "to check for sendmail" rpm -qa | grep Sendmail On my system the command returns this to the screen: [root@mdw1982 office]# rpm -qa | grep sendmail sendmail-8.9.3-20 Give it a try and let us know what you get. Other then that all that is necessary for you to utilize the already installed SMTP on your system is to leave that part "undefined" in the Pine preferences and it will use Postfix/Sendmail by default. Which ever is intalled on your system. Mark Robert Boggs wrote: > > I am having trouble getting sendmail.

What are the speeds 4x4x6...vs8x4x32, etc relative toI am > having trouble > understanding how to judge relative speedis a 4x4x6 fast enough ? The first number is write-speed (cd-r), the second is rewrite-speed (cd-rw), the third is read speed. 1x is the "normal" cd-speed, which is about 300 kps, or 74 min to burn 74 min of music/650 mb data. Mulitply the speed by those numbers. Ie. 4x4x6 means 1200 kps for both writing modes, which means about 18 min to burn a full cd. Reading would be at 1800 kps. Keep in mind that your system must be able to feed the writer with data at that speed (normally not a problem, but stranger things have happened), unless it has burn-proof technology (pause writing on buffer underruns).

[newbie] Ip MASQ
I was setting up IP MASQ so that my internal network can access the internet. I found information at the linux howto documentation. Basically my problem was that it told me to add lines for a firewall to the files /etc/rc.d/rc.firewall which i did. Then it told me to add a line to /etc/rc.d/rc.local so that it runs the firewall. My understanding is that if I type /etc/rc.d/rc.firewall it would run, however it give me the error I cant remember what it is but i believe it basically meant the it could not run the file because the file it self was not runnable. I type chmod 700 /etc/rc.d/rc.firewall like it said in the howto but i still cant run it. Can anyone tell me why?
RE: [newbie] repost : lan problems
Go back to basics... With your lan card you should have gotten a utility disk. On that disk are two important programs (assuming that you are using a 10base2/10baseT card). The first program sets up the hardware on the lan card. It allocates IRQ's/IO, etc and permits you to test the settings. Built into the same program or separate from it is another utility which permits you to set up once machine as a MASTER and the other as a SLAVE for testing purposes. Hopefully both lan cards are identical. Connect everything up. Boot up from a dos disk and use the LAN CARD's utility disk. Check the settings for conflicts. There is a self test in there too. Run it and make sure it passes. Make sure that both cards are set to 10base2, NOT 10BaseT. Finally use the Diagnostic utility to send packets back and forth from the two machines. Does this work? If not you have a hardware problem. If it works you have a configuration/software problem. -JMS -Original Message- From: [EMAIL PROTECTED] [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED]]On Behalf Of Quaylar Sent: Sunday, March 04, 2001 3:49 PM To: [EMAIL PROTECTED] Subject: RE: [newbie] repost : lan problems heres a weird thing i noticed just a few minutes ago: i checked the eth interfaces in both linux and win. under linux "ifconfig eth0" showed up "packets sent : xxx" whereas xxx increased when i tried to ping the win machine. so i know for sure that icmp packets from the linux box to the windows box pass the eth interface. then i had a look in win, rightclick on lan connection and saw : status of LAN connection : 0 packets sent 0 packets received i did a ping from the windos machine to the linux machine and looked again at the status window: status of LAN connection : 0 packets sent 0 packets received >>> so it seems that there are absolutely no packets leaving the win machine over the ethernet card. i wonder where they are going.could this be a routing problem ?. i dont understand this, i set all the ip information in the properties of my LAN connection. any ideas ? --quay

If I remember correctly, as root, edit the following file: /sbin/ifup Look for a section that looks like this: f [ "XXX$DHCP_CLIENT" != "XXX" ];then case $(basename $DHCP_CLIENT) in dhcpcd) [ -n "$DHCP_HOSTNAME" ] && DHCP_ARGS="-h $DHCP_HOSTNAME" [ -n "$NEEDHOSTNAME" ] && DHCP_ARGS="$DHCP_ARGS -H" DHCP_ARGS="$DHCP_ARGS -h chomehostname $DEVICE" ;; You can see that I have added the parameters "-h chomehostname". Replace "chomehostname" with your @Home hostname. I *think* that's how I got things to work, I don't remember clearly. This is done on LM 7.2, and assumes that you are using the dhcpcd client. It also assumes that you have tried to manually call dhcpcd -h your_host_name, and it worked..·!" Digital Wokan wrote: > I have yet to get DHCP to work as a client to @home.

Please send in plain text not HTML and drop the color background Thanks from all. As to your modem. If you have a PS/2 mouse it uses the first serial port resources and take presidences to any devives actually connected to said port. Connect your modem to the other port and it should be auto seen and you can configure it during boot.

RE: [newbie] Installing a SCSI card
Well you can give it a try from the command line with insmod aha152x aha152x=0x340,11,7,1,1,0,500,0 this makes certain assumptions about the parameters that you are supplying of course. In particular the IRQ (11) and the port (340). If this works then you can modify /etc/mod.config in accordance with these requirements. I've only just got this driver to work on my machine so if you are struggling after trying insmod, give me an e-mail and I'll go into extreme detail of my own struggle. regards Daryl -Original Message-From: [EMAIL PROTECTED] [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED]]On Behalf Of BobSent: 04 March 2001 19:21To: [EMAIL PROTECTED]Subject: [newbie] Installing a SCSI card Hi folks, Im having trouble getting my SCSI card working on a new install of MD 7.2.

RE: [newbie] repost : lan problems
No definitely NOT! Something is wrong! The resistance is FAR TOO LOW! You have a short in the cable somewhere. Put a terminator at one end. Disconnect the connectors at the computer so you have a "straight line". [-+---+--- ] Where "[" are the terminators The "+" represents the T connectors Measure the resistance at the open end. It should be the value for the terminator at the other end PLUS a few ohms introduced by the cable... I.E. 54 ohms for a 50 ohm ThinNet resistor... Now do it the other way. Now put both terminators on and measure at the T. You should get 1/2 the resistance of the two terminators plus the resistance of the cable... I.E. 28 ohms or so if you are using 50 ohm terminators... 9 ohms is far too low and will cause the cards to see the cable as "open". Also did you set up the cards to utilize 10Base2 instead of 10BaseT? Most cards come with 10BaseT set as a default and have to be adjusted with software which reflashes the card's settings... -JMS -Original Message- From: [EMAIL PROTECTED] [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED]]On Behalf Of Quaylar Sent: Sunday, March 04, 2001 2:56 PM To: [EMAIL PROTECTED] Subject: RE: [newbie] repost : lan problems jose, today i tested my wiring : over the 15m BNC cable (with both T and resistors connected) i have 9 ohm resistance.

[newbie] New CDRW installtion problem
I am trying to add a new HP9150 IDE CD-RW drive to my L-M 7.2 system. I have an existing CDROM (now the slave) and the new cd writer (now the master). I can read both drives as IDE CDROMs in Linux, and I can read and burn CD's in Windoze. I also have an Adaptec SCSI card and a small scsi drive that I use for swap. I know (I think) that I need to use ide-scsi to make the burner appear as a scsi device. And then to change the sym link for /mnt/cdrom to /dev/scd0. I also have added a lilo parameter hdc=ide-scsi I have read the help at http://www.mandrakeuser.org/hardware/hremov3.html as well as at http://www.linuxdoc.org/HOWTO/CD-Writing-HOWTO.html#toc2 If I follow the steps given in Mandrakeuser.org -- which basically say to change the sym link for 7.0 installations, it won't recognize the IDE drive as a scsi drive. If I follow the steps listed in the CD-Writing Howto, I don't have sr_mod.o module to complete the installation. Should I try and download this module? When I insmod ide-scsi the module loads without complaint. With both methods when I try cdrecord -scanbus I only see my SCSI swap drive. I'd appreciate any help you can offer. -- gvc

HEEEPPP!! I am trying in vain to print from SO5.2, and feel I am slowly going mad. I have installe the printer when I installed Mandrake 7.2; the test-page prints, and I print wothout problem from KWord or KSpread. The printer as installed is listed in /etc/cups/printers.conf If I open http://localhost:631/ and go to the Manage Printer page, it tells me there are no printers installed. If I install one, it is listed in /etc/cups/printers.conf, but at the end of the configuration I still have no printer installed as far as the Manage Printers page is concerned. If I open Kups from the console, the status bar of Kups keeps telling me Cannot connect to CUPS server; check your options. If I add one, it is listed in /etc/cups/printers.conf, but at the end of the configuration I still have no printer installed as far as Kups is concerned.In the course of the installation, Kups repeatedly tells me I have no printer connected to // port #1 qtcups does not see any of the printers listed in /etc/cups/printers.conf xpp gives me short shrift, with the terse warning "No printer found, aborting" Only the Printer Configuration in DraxConf "sees" the installed printers, all the other config progs fail to see them.

Re: [newbie] Netscape takes an eternity
1)Netscape in and of itself takes longer to open than one would normally expect from an application. I would guess it is in some part due to how bloated the program has become. I finally gave up on Netscape for this very reason and began using Opera, which opens almost instantly. 2)Some of the problem could also be due to whatever you have your home page set to. If it's a page that takes a long time to load in general (ie a portal site that dynamically constructs a page based on your user preferences, like "my.yahoo.com" or something), then this could slow Netscape from opening in a timely manner.

[newbie]
First things first again, thankyou all for responding so quickly. I have looked into trying your solutions posted in the past Sridhar, but still to no resault. I am not a very good writer but I will try to outline the things I've tried and the questions I have a little better. First of all having dealt with widows so long I'm used to dealing with the simplified language of the 9x environment. In 'netconf' when it asked for 'host + domain' I asumed that it meant 'csXX-a' + 'ssdt1.sk.wave.home.com'. Unfortunatly that didn't fit, so I placed 'csXX-a' by it's self and the 'ssdt1.sk.wave.home.com' I place in the primary domain under dns ip and stuff. Then I tried the 'dhcpcd -d -n -h hostname eth0', and this didn't change anything. 'ifconfig -a' listed no ip and no packets sent, and I was unable to ping even my 9x ip on the same hub. So, I removed linux and reinstalled 98 got networking up did a 'ipconfig /all' to get all the ip's for dns, my ip, gateway, even dhcp server. It was here that I saw the name 'csXX-a.ss.shawcable.net'. So I went back and manualy configured everything, and still no luck. then using 'csXX-a.ss.shawcable.net' I tried again to get 'dhcpcd -d -n -h hostname eth0' to work. Finally I reset up my networking manually using 'csXX-a.ss.shawcable.net'. Nothing seems to work, and I know it is recognizing my ethernet card. I'm lost and kinda confused. I know my ethernet card is a 10/100... could it be trying to run it at 100 only? The kernal being used is 'eepro100'.

Then you either need to compile the kerenel again, this time building the ppp options in, or you'll need to: modprobe -v ppp_generic modprobe -v ppp_async modprobe -v ppp_deflate in order to use ppp -- Dale Earnhardt, the greatest stock car driver ever, he's won his 8th and His Greatest Championship Tom Brinkman [EMAIL PROTECTED] Galveston Bay
[newbie] Midi problems
Hi everyone! I just installed Mandrake 7.2 and I find that i can`t play any midifiles. When I opened Kmidi I got message "dev/sequecer busy, maybe another program using it" or something similar. And when I tried to configure Kmidi it says "can`t get any information from dev/sequencer". Any ideas what to do? Because I`m going to make music with Jazz++ midi sequencer, but I must first get the midi setup working. waw. and mp3 works fine Souncard is Soundblaster 16PCI using ES1371 driver. -- Heikki L.

I remember seeing this neat graphical display the first time I booted 7.2 but haven't seen it since. If this was Aurora and it shows as installed on my system(in KPackage) how do I get it to run automatically at bootup?
