Re: [newbie] gcc

2001-03-24 Thread Ralph Frisbie

I finally found the problem, you did it also.  To invoke
the c++ compiler, try the command:
g++   myfile.cpp

I'd guess the other spellings invoke different scrips or make
that don't cause the c++ iostream library to be available.

good luck,
ralph

[newbie] No CDROM2 in MDK 7.2

2001-03-24 Thread -

I have Mandrake 7.0 and 7.2 on separate  hard drives..  7.0 has cdrom,
cdrom1 and cdrom2 under /dev  and 7.2 has  cdrom and cdrom1 but no
cdrom2 under its /dev so I'm unable to run applications that use cdrom2
in 7.2.
How can I get cdrom2 into 7.2's  /dev?   Would it be feasible to just
copy from 7.0 to 7.2  /dev's?   If not, how should it be done?

Re: [newbie] Cd Icons on Desktop

2001-03-24 Thread s

its /etc/mtab that tells you what actually gets mounted at boot.  fstab is 
what you hope gets mounted.  Can you not mount manually in a terminal?

To make an icon, right click the desktop and choose which type of shortcut 
you want then fill in the blanks.  In this case it would probably be a cdrom 
device.

If you are in KDE or one of the other GUI desktops, you should be able to log 
off and when it goes to the graphical login with the different penquins and 
asks for the password you can change the desk top there. Just click on the 
KDE or ICEWM or what ever shows up below the login/password lines and it 
should drop down a list of all of the GUI's available to you. Take your pick. 
If you are doing just text boot up and are typing the line "startx" I am not 
sure what the line should be. Something like "startx gnome" but maybe some 
one else on the list knows that for sure. Choices are wonderful, onward,

[newbie] SMB Errors

2001-03-24 Thread Barry

Hi, I am having a problem with smb. On the home network I ahave a Linux box
(Mandrake 7.0 kernel 2.2.14), and a number of Win 98 machines.

Every 15 mins the Linux box downloads some files from one of the Win boxes.
This works flawlessly until the win box dies (as it is prone to do) and is
restarted. After this I get the following when Linux tries to download the
files:

smb_retry: signal failed, error=-3
smb_retry: signal failed, error=-3
smb_lookup: find //VWS_IMAGES failed, error=-5

So far the only way I have found to fix this is restart Linux, smbumount
doesn't work

Any ideas???

  It ~is~ there, on the CD.  I was a little disappointed finding
that few of the basic (necessary, imo) networking tools aren't
installed on the quick 'n easy install.  But not a problem, I
think it's in the RPMS directory as networktools or something.

  Open your DrakConf, go to PackageManager & look through all the
stuff.  You'll find numerous things you'll want to install & even
some things installed you'll want to remove.

  That's actually handled by ~/.xsession file.  At the end, after
any stuff you want to open, you put this:

exec /usr/bin/enlightenment

  In your case, you'd want exec /usr/bin/gnome or whatever the
actual path to whatever wm you want.  My whole .xsession (for
now) looks like this:

#!/bin/sh
# Execute enlightenment. ALWAYS make sure this is at the end of
# this startup file - and ALWAYS run things before it with an &
# at the end.
# For example:
#   xterm &
#   kpanel &
# It is suggested to use Enlightenment's Remember dialog for
# having apps spawned automatically on login.
panel &
xscreensaver &
exec /usr/bin/enlightenment

  Be sure you ~/.Xclients is a pointer to ~/.xsession too.

Send me your Xf86 file and I will see what I can do

But before you do that run #Xconfigurator again and choose your monitor
as "non-interlaced svga" and your resolution as 800x600 16 bit

[newbie] Grub Boot Problems

2001-03-24 Thread Jessie Bonner

I apologize for being a complete idiot newbie, but
I've got some problems.

I rebooted the other day from the Windows side and
instead of it giving me the GUI to pick which side I
wanted to boot, it gave me the grub prompt.

I was able to find out how to get back to windows, but
nothing has worked to get me back to Linux.

In fact, when I do a find /boot/vmlinuz I get nothing
in return.  I can find things on the windows side, but
nothing on the linux side.  

Any suggestions?

[newbie] ISDN Dialup

I installed Linux Mandrake 7.2 yesterday and everything went like a breeze.
My ISDN-car was found and installed (Dynalink tas106) and even my ISP in
Norway were on the ISP list with the corect settings (I double checked
them). But when I opened the dialer program (DarkMagick or something) and
started dialing it say that it didnt connect and that I should check the
settings again (witch I did several times). Now this is working nicely in
both Win ME and Win 2000, but not on Mandrake. Is there a logfile or
something i could check to see what went wrong? Or better yet, what do you
guys need to see to understand whats wrong? Now remember that im ULTRA
Newbie at this stuff so please put it as easy as possible.

Hello Stefaans

I tried Xconfigurator and I choosed many types of monitors that tested
well, in many resolutions and so I could enter X in failsafe mode, but I
still can't enter X in normal  mode (linux)  because the monitor enters
automatically in "suspend mode".
Can you help me editing the file XF86Config, or maybe this is another
kind of problem?

[newbie] wvdial questions

2001-03-24 Thread s

Hi all, 
I seem to be having problems with wvdial.  I can dial out as root, but not as 
s.  I chown and chmod all the scripts and /dev/ttyS2, but I get a "Cannot 
open /dev/ttyS2: Device or resource busy" error.  ???  But su to root and can 
dial.  Any suggestions?  (Don't really want to connect as root.)

Also how does one disconnect?  I been hitting ctrl + c, but it sees it as a 
error and I think there must be a better way.  In a terminal I can open 
another session, but what if I'm at run level 3?  ctrl + c?  Any thoughts?

(pppd connect is a bigger mess!  Same:  have to be root, and then lynx can't 
connect to any sites.  ?  Using:   pppd connect 'chat -v "" ATDT2210704 
ogin:word:  ' /dev/ttyS2 115200)  I wouldn't mind figuring 
out the pppd deal, because when I use muLinux, it's the same, can connect, 
but quark and rna cannot go anywhere.)  

TIA,
-s

Hi,
Sounds like PPP is the problem, I think you need root privileges to run
ppp so it terminates. Way around this is to set the 'Setuid' bit so anyone
who runs it , runs it with root privs.
Check these files:
/usr/bin/kppp
/usr/sbin/pppd
then as root do the following:
do a ls -l to find the permissions, you should get:
-rwsr-xr-x   1 root root 
on both files, notice the 's'
if its not set to s then do a 
chmod u+s [filename] to both files
make sure root is owner and group if not do:
chown root root [filename]

try this, if it doesnt cure it dont despair as there are a few more things
which might need checking  ;-)


Regards

Sard.
