Re: [newbie] Re: Why is 7.2 so much slower than 7.1
take a very close look at the programs that are running automatically at boot time. That could be the source of your problems. Abe Original Message --- From: Michael [EMAIL PROTECTED] Date: Wed, 07 Mar 2001 15:29:08 -0700 I ran " $ free" and saw that I was heavily into my swap, to the tune of around 227 M. I switched to Gnome and everything is running much faster. I've been monitoring my memory / swap usage, and the most swap I've used in Gnome is about 40M running Moz 0.8. That program eats up buffer / cache too. The thing that's really weird, is a buddy of mine is using 7.2 and KDE on a 200 PI with 64M and his system runs fine. I think somehow I must have sprung a memory leak or something. Oh well, I'm actually starting to like Gnome a lot. It's much more stable than it was a couple of years ago. Thanks, Michael Glen Leinweber wrote: Michael, This is a guess... I wonder if 64MEG is close to the limit for 7.2? Perhaps 7.1 fits KDE and one or two apps fits into 64M without going to swap. Once you get into swap, things really slow down. I've often heard that more RAM often solves speed problems.

Re: [newbie] 7.1 to 7.2 dilemma
NO,NO,NO, don't upgrade from 7.1 to 7.2--do a fresh install. If you use Gnome, like I do, I don't think I'd bother just now. KDE2.x is pretty, but I still like Gnome, and IMO, Gnome is more stable. If I were you I'd just wait for the stable version of mdk 8.0 and get the 2.4 kernel. I say this after installing 7.2 on all but one of machines.

I've shut a bunch down, mostly servers that I'm not running, but there are a few that I'm not sure about. Namely: xfsrawdevicesnetworkirdafetchmail Do I need these to run a home workstation, (connected to the internet, but not wanting to run any servers or anything like that at this time)? -Paul R

[newbie] masq and napster
hi all ! i have set up a linux adsl router and i have enabled masq and ipchains on it. so far i can do everything from my windows box behind it (mail/irc/web/ and so on) except napster. i read the napster+masq howto and i read various deja topics about this issue. this is what i did to get it working : 1) i opened my firewall to all connections coming from port or port 8875 (the napster servers) 2) i did a portfw for ports 6699 and 6700 to my local win box. 3) forwarding is enabled (of course, otherwise i wouldnt be able to use all the other services) napster still remains at "geting info" state and never begins downloading. i use napster 2.0 beta6 has anybody ideas about this ? and one furhter question : i just got a 512/64 adsl line, and i am using it over the linux router. now when i am accessing websites, speed is REALLY slow, i think my earlier isdn line was faster than this. (i am heavily disappointed) i tuned the win settings with the tune program from speedcorp which made it a little faster, but it still sucks ! on the other hand i can get (at really good times, from servers in my country) max. 50 kB/s download rate. can anybody give an advice on how to "tune" the linux router or the win box ? greets --quay -- -Quaylar- Icq# 30932448 [EMAIL PROTECTED] !

[newbie] Grub timeout!!!
resending as the first time it seemed to dissapear into a black hole! I run a dual boot win98 Mandrake 7.2 system. I used to run a Randish Boot manager on my MBR to boot between different OS's. I installed Mandrake 7.2 putting GRUB on my root partition. However once I realised that now my root mandrake partition was now /hda6 and hence not bootable by Randish boot manager so I decided to install GRUB onto my MBR. Which I did succesfully but now it just spits me straight into windoze (the default) without any delay so I can't select a difference choice. I have changed /boot/grub/menu.lst and added 'timeout 10' to it (it wasn't there originally)first below 'default 0' and then moved it to the top to no avail. I have also tried to install LILO but it comes up with the error partition not found and dies.. so I had to reinstall GRUB again. Regards -Tom Webster
[newbie] Re: Why is 7.2 so much slower than 7.1
I ran " $ free" and saw that I was heavily into my swap, to the tune of around 227 M. I switched to Gnome and everything is running much faster. I've been monitoring my memory / swap usage, and the most swap I've used in Gnome is about 40M running Moz 0.8. That program eats up buffer / cache too. The thing that's really weird, is a buddy of mine is using 7.2 and KDE on a 200 PI with 64M and his system runs fine. I think somehow I must have sprung a memory leak or something. Oh well, I'm actually starting to like Gnome a lot. It's much more stable than it was a couple of years ago. Thanks, Michael Glen Leinweber wrote: Michael, This is a guess... I wonder if 64MEG is close to the limit for 7.2? Perhaps 7.1 fits KDE and one or two apps fits into 64M without going to swap. Once you get into swap, things really slow down. I've often heard that more RAM often solves speed problems.

[newbie] printing and login

I have tried configuring it using DrakConf and also using printtool but everytime I try to print something using lpr, nothing happens. And when I check the queue with lpq, I see that it is empty.

Try running mandrake's x-setup again and select "show all modes" (on my pc it only showed up to 1024x768, but 1280x1024 worked fine), or run xf86config and enter the resolutions manually. tirsdag 06 mars 2001, 16:07, you wrote: I've just about got all the kinks worked out of my new 7.2 install. It looks like I'm stuck with a resolution of 800x600 max. One nuisance problem is that some of the windows are larger than my monitor, DrakRPM for example, and I can't resize the window to fit my screen. I can get around the problem in most cases using other methods to do the task but I was wondering if anyone had any suggestions to offer. Thanks.

Sorry if i annoy you people, but i had to reply to this.. Anyway, this is my LAST post to this thread no matter what. Case closed. Dave Sherman wrote: 1. Actually, humans were the LAST species to be created, on the sixth day. Ok, i'm not really an expert on this, sorry then.. 2. Nowhere does it say the earth is flat. It also doesn't say the earth is round. The Bible is not a science textbook. Actually it does say so. I would have given you the exact location, but i don't remember.. Anyway, i read it myself (someone showed it to me), so i know it's there. It doesn't say so in a scientific manner, though. It just shows that the people living in those days believed the earth was flat. My point was that what people believed to be right 2000 years ago doesn't need to be so today. 3. I wouldn't know about your "lots of other nonsense", since I have not really noticed it. Sorry if i was a bit harsh.. I respect other people's beliefs. I just meant that meanings on right and wrong was different back then (see above). KompuKit wrote: Oh Lord...forgive those...who have EYES,but can NOT see... and ears, but can not hear Ditto ;) Gerry

[newbie] My evaluation of New Traktopel Beta Mandrake 8
Hello list. Upon installing the new Beta Mandrake Traktopel 8 release on a system using an AMD K6-400 cpu, 192Mb system ram, S3 Virge video card, 10Gb Quantum harddrive UDMA 33, with VIA chipset, AWE64 Soundblaster ISA card, a zip250 using the zip zoom card (aic7xxx), an old unix BTC cdrom, and lastly a Plextor 8/4/32A Cd recorder. I found the installation went ok in expert mode, one little hang up on setting up networking, it would not let you click on yes or no, BUT, you could bypass this by going on to the next step, then when it cama back, you could just click on uhh, skip or something like that, and do it later after installation finished. I really liked the option when you booted into expert mode, it would let you select another cdrom device to go to, which I did, my faster Plextor drive, altho I had to boot with the slower drive, but I could just switch drives when it asked me that. I had to downgrade sendmail, and tweak apache, and kde2's user agent with Konqueror's user agent is still broken broken broken busted broken busted busted broken...BUT other than that, it still was a *very* useable system and I think I might keep it for awhile until the stable release comes up. Good job Mandrake. Pretty dang good for a beta, if the beta was that decent, the stable release ought to kick butt.
[newbie] What am I missing??
I had to re install my system from the LM 7.2 complete box. I was trying to reinstall my Aureal sound card with the new drivers from sourceforge and I am getting the following error message. root@localhost aureal]# make install cc -D__KERNEL__ -DMODULE -DAU8830 -mpentium -O6 -fomit-frame-pointer -Wall -pipe -I/usr/src/linux/include -c -o au_audio.o au_audio.c make: cc: Command not found make: *** [au_audio.o] Error 127 I have a feeling that I some packages didn't install. What packages am I missing to install the drivers? Thanks, Aaron
Re: [newbie] HP CD Writer 9500
I have the HP 9150i cd-writer... had the same problem til I re-installed again, mandrake 7.2. now it works fine...but there's a bug fix once you re-install that needs fixingit's located here: http://www.linux-mandrake.com/en/demos/Tutorial/CDburner/ just re-install linux...but do NOT format your /home partition and upon reboot,after reinstall...the drive will be emulated...and seen.

I have installed the cd rom burner into the system that is running Linux Mandrake 7.2 and have plenty of blank cd's . I tried the CDROAST program but it looks at the folder I have selected and scans the files then gives an error "broken pipe" I don't rmr the exact error but I was dinking around with the settings of the program and came across a section that looks like it needs a lund number and address for the cdrom burner I am guessing that the burner is too new to be seen by the software as a burner but it reads cd's fine .. in the app hard drake it sees the burner as well as its information ... is there a place that might have a driver file (not sure what its called in Linux) or do I just need to find the id/lund/??? information ( of witch I do not know how to do ) . I tried the cdrecord command with the -scanbus delimiter from the terminal but it did not find a drive . do I have the cd installed correctly?
