[newbie] mesa GL removal
So, I'm a big gamer, but still want to tear myself away from the windows OS. I'm starting to learn more and more about how linux works and interacts with it's hardware. One of the things that is still illuding me though is having successful, reliable 3d support. After succesfully screwing up all hopes of doing this with my 7.2 installation it gave me one more reason to upgrade to 8.0 which I did promptly. So, this time following the instructions from nVidia exactly I forged ahead with high hopes. However it appears that the original mesaGL that come with X (I'm guessing) still remain in vestiges. I post I read on here a couple of days ago warned them to make sure to remove all the mesaGL stuff and to do this by following the nVidia readme. Well it doesn't specifically say anything about removing mesaGL, it appears that it's just "bypassed" by replacing the symlinks. Is this a correct observation? And if so, why isn't mine working? :) No matter what I try to play (so far just quake2, Unreal Tournament, and Tux racer demo) I always get some kind of error ranging from missing mesaGL and GLU library (seen during the make command for Tux racer) to svga perssion denied... broken pipline (quake2 execution) and completely not running at all or very slowly (Unreal Tournament). So it all amounts to this. I NEED HELP. I don't know what works with what... In windows installations the latest opengl support came with the latest drivers from nVidia, does this also apply to the linux versions of this driver? Do I need the OpenGL utilities library? Also, I've heard that the drivers for nVidia concerning the performance of my AGP port are poorly written and I should stick with the original drivers but use nVidia's openGL stuff. There DOES appear to be an option that can be added to X config file that changes it... would this be the proper way to do it? Basically I think I've gotten to much conflicting information. At this point I would settle for a step by step howto of exactly I can have 3d support using openGL on my system.

[newbie] Whats up Mandrake?
With every new version of Mandrake I install, less and less of my hardware is picked up. Whats up with that? Plus now Hardrake hangs everytime I try to detect hardware. Before anyone suggests that I have defective hardware, let me just say that RedHat6.2 and 7.0, Storm linux, Win95, Win98SE, WinME and Win2000 all install and pick up all the hardware just fine. I have been told before that Mandrakes criteria for hardware is stricter than all the above mentioned OS's and that is fine, but how can you advance the use of Mandrake if you need new and perfect working hardware? Don't get me wrong I love Mandrake's Distro, its just so easy to use but I always pay hell installing and getting everything working. Just my 2 cents Confused Mandrake user

[newbie] USB Burner,mdk 7.2 or 8? and CD-RW Linux equiv to Direct CD???
Hi everyone.. After a rather nasty experiance with a server reload and reconfiguration caused by not doing regular backups.. I decided that I would give this otherwise unsavory task some thought.. I have a Hewlet Packard USB CD-RW drive... which is basically a HP IDE CDRW (it used to have a 8000 series drive, but I changed it to a 9500 series) in an external case with a USB adaptor and a power supply. I want to get it to work in Linux, (I currently have MDK7.2 with the 2.2.19-4MDK kernel, ReiserFS on a PII450 128mb ram BX Chipset and a 20 gig ata100 harddisk (although the bx chipset supports only 33 I think.) Anyway, that computer, when loaded with win98SE and win2000 worked fantastic... now I want to get the same results with Linux. I know I can get it working in Linux by removing the drive from the USB case and just installing it as an IDE drive, but I really need to keep it in the case as I use the drive to back up other machines as well. But I have heard many bad stories about USB and linux, particularly with Burners. Has anyone got a setup like that working? If so, what did you have to do? and what version of MDK were you using? Also, assuming it was possible to get it working, does linux support re-writable CD's? and if so what programs (preferably GUI but not necessary) would I use to backup over multiple CD's. I am writting this while my win2000 notebook (which I am writing this from) is backing itself up via the above burner now..) If it can't be done, thats a shame as USB burners are fantastic, anytime I want to burn something, I pull the burner out of the cuboard, plug it into the notebook and start burning, no setup, no restart and no coasters anyway, any help or suggestions would be much appreciated. kindest regards Frank Frank Hauptle / / _ ---/ / (_)__ __ __ --/ /__/ / _ \/ // /\ \/ / -//_/_//_/\_,_/ /_/\_\ Gshop Network Payment Solutions.

Re: [newbie] Grip
that is really weird! I've done four installs of mandrake 8 so far and they have all been subtely different. I did a recommended install on my brothers machine and it yielded a system that was windows for all intents and purposes. I'm not sure of the exact numbers as far as size/bit rate goes between mp3 and ogg but if you look at http://www.vorbis.com I bet you can find that info. What I do know is that every mp3 I've ever heard sounded hollow to me like all the midrange had been scooped out. Ogg's sound full and rich and the highest quality gives small enough files that I don't have to trade off between free space on disk and sound quality.

The method you described is the normal solution for this type of application, but if he wanted to, he could also be using a local sendmail for it (although that could bring about its own set of problems). -- tlyons at mandrakesoft dot com http://www.linux-mandrake.com/en
Re: [newbie] Is my hosts.deny working??

OR, if you have a line in there such as: ALL:ALL That single line denies access to all services on your machine. Oops, sorry, no it doesn't. The hosts.allow and hosts.deny files are part of the tcpwrappers system (/usr/sbin/tcpd). This control access to services on your system that are run by the inetd superserver (or the new xinetd superserver) that are enabled to use tcpwrappers. Some other server daemons that can be run stand-alone (ie. not by the inetd/xinetd superservers) are now also using the hosts.allow/deny files. For example, sshd does. And you indicate that portsentry is manipulating those files for other reasons. But they are not specific port sentry files. Many other servers are completely indifferent to the hosts.allow/deny files: named (i.e. DNS), sendmail, httpd (i.e. Apache), nfs to name but a few. If these servers are running on your system, your statement induces a dangerously false sense of security. ALL:ALL in /etc/hosts.deny specifically applies *only* to servers being run by the inetd/xinetd superserver and any stand-alone servers that have been coded configured to use them. Cheers, Rob

Perhaps the problem is with MDK 8.0? Carlos

Re: [newbie] Mandrake 7.2 - start mail server, etc..
Where do I configure those names on Mandrake if I want mailserver.foo.company.com instead of pop.foo.company.com, etc.? I cannot recall which file one must edit to add and alias to the system. You can do this in linuxconf, but I don't recall which file has that data in it. Can anyone else comment on this? I'm curious myself. All, There are a few pertinent files when attempting to set up a mail server (especially one that you are trying to secure, all of which are under /etc/mail (at least on Mandrake 7.x). access - which defines which hosts / IPs have access to relay through your mail server. By default, relaying is denied on sendmail 8.9.x and later. sendmail.mc, where you actually make changes to sendmail's configuration instead of sendmail.cf local-host-names - where you define what aliases for the machine you want sendmail to respond to. If you have some specific questions regarding what is involved in securing an e-mail server, post it to the list, or reply to this e-mail address.

I would do more research on this I have two soyo motherboards both with VIA chipsets and both running LM 7.2 with no apparent problems other than my own ignorance. The Chipsets are the VIA Apollo sets. I did have problems when trying to use a Western Digital HD in the one computer but swapped it for a Maxtor 30 gig and everything is hunkydory now. One computer is running K6 II 330 mhz and the other K6 II 400 mhz over clocked a smidge to 450 mhz. So check around on some of the building your own sites and see what you can find out about the Athlon boards with via on them. VIA is supposed to be getting a fix for any problems involving linux ext2 or reiserfs systems. Also there was some discussion on the list in the past about problems with VIA and I think that too was in conjunction with WD hard drives. VIA is the largest of suppliers for other than intel boards or so I read on the net. Search and you shall find ... -- Dennis M. registered Linux user # 180842
Re: [newbie] bios question

The oses start and run fine, once I get passed the bios. *Problem: the bios takes over two minutes to boot and pass off to the os.* I can't find any irregularities Some servers do that as well. I wouldn't be overly concerned except that you say that up until this point was booting quickly. Look for some sort of conflict. master and only hdd on ide1, cdrom as master on secondary ide channel with cdrw as slave. Basic floppy, and 512M of 133 ram (max allowable: 768). Don't set the bios to auto for the cdrom drives. Set it to none. See if the problem stays the same or changes. If no differences, completely disconnect both cdrom drives and see if the problem stays the same or changes. -- tlyons at mandrakesoft dot com http://www.linux-mandrake.com/en
