[newbie] Another Voodoo enigma? 3.3.6 installed.
OK, I'm convinced there is something seriously wrong with the XFree86 setup/server in 8.0. Some may recall when I tried to use 8.0 on my spouse's amd k6-2 450 last week and couldn't get it to use 4.0.3, so no 3d acceleration or aa fonts, etc. I was lucky enough that it at least installed on one of mine with a voodoo3 which uses a pentium, tho the acceleration leaves alot to be desired. So I wondered if the amd use is related However, an experiment tonight blew that theory out of the water and leads me to the problem at hand: I installed 8.0 on a celeron 433, 128 ram and voodoo3 2000 tonight. I wasn't given a choice of versions concerning XFree86 and it installed 3.3.6. Why do you suppose I can use 4.0.3 on one machine and not another using the same exact video card? Now I didn't try to force it to use 4.0.3 cause I went that route with the amd last week and couldn't boot into X. so what gives? I used 4.0.1 2 with 7.2 and had good game play on this very same machine. Any help for my poor little celeron or amd machines? (Man I knew I should've gotten a TNT!) -s

the last part of the output:

At this point, it freezes. The cursor that's usually there disappears,
never reappears, and my computer just stares at me.
To get past the freezing, I tried:
boot: linux mem=128M ide2=0x1420,0x1427,10. The first I/O Range listed
in my Windows system configuration is 0x1420-0x1427, the second one is
0x1414-0x1418, which includes the third number on the last line of the
output, 0x1416. I have no idea what that third number means in Linux's
output
However, then it has reading issues because it can't read the drive.
Here's what it says now:
output

From there, it goes on and keeps loading. I get to the install screen,
select the language, say it's a non-SCSI drive, etc. It goes through the
first part of the installation. The first time it has to read the
harddrive (right after choosing the SCSI/non-SCSI drive, I believe), it
freezes and comes back with the error: test_for_bad_drives: can't even
read (Input/output error)
I know this is related to my drive again, but I can't figure out how to
configure it to get it working. If anyone could help, I'd appreciate it.
If anyone could even interpret some of this stuff, such as what all
these messages mean in my output, I'd greatly appreciate it.
ide1 looks like it's my Secondary IDE Controller (which my CD-RW is on),
since the two addresses match what Windows tells me they are.
What's wierd, though is that the Intel 82371 AB/EB PCI Bus Master that I
have has the same addresses as the Secondary IDE Controler, except the
0x1408-0x140f in the first line starting with ide is 0x1400-0x140f (the PCI
Bus master has the 0x1400-0x140f address instead of 0x1408-0x140f address).
The PCI Bus Master is listed under Hard Disk Controlers in my System
properties in Windows. I don't know if this means anything.
ide2 seems to be my Promise Technology Ultra66 IDE Controller. The I/O
Ranges for the ide2 IRQ value seem to be right.

Re: [newbie] EMACs: How save after editing a text area?
(X)Emacs is able to read write remote files using FTP transparently. The only difference is how you enter the your file name. To access a file located on another machine (with running FTP server!) /user@host:file eg. [EMAIL PROTECTED]:~/public_html/index.html You can even use tab completion! (X)Emacs will ask for your password after you pressed enter or used tab completion for the first time. It will be stored for the rest of your (X)Emacs session. I'm not quite sure if you need to load any extra packages for that. The XEmacs and GNU-Emacs we have installed here do it all automagically but I've heard of a Ange-FTP package for GNU-Emacs. You might need that. You load additional packages with M-x load-library Enter and then type ange-ftp Enter.

[newbie] Mandrake 8 Text Install / Second CD
I've been installing LM8, and the installation confirms as successful (Ihave to use text install). But on boot the system fails due to a series of"Permission Denieds" after etc/rc.sysinit.I've tried reinstalling a number of times but get the same result. The lasttime I noticed that the installation appears to falter at about 87-90% ofthe packages with what appears momentarily to be some kind of Perl error,ejects the installation CD and then continues as if nothing has happenedsubsequently confirming successful install.I don't think the installation has succeeded and wondered if anyone had anyideas as to what the mysterious error may be or how to work round it?I don't think it's the CDs. They're Cheapbytes CDs. Also, I took theopportunity to use them to install on a computer with a differentconfiguration and it installed ok. The ok install used the Mandrakegraphical installer, ejected the CD (at the same place as the problemoccurred in the text install) and prompted for the second CD. The textinstaller did not prompt for anything it just carried on into post installstuff. Suppose it could be that the text installer is corrupted or perhapsbuggy? Anyone else had a problem with the text installer?Thanks,Richard

Nico, Nathan, everyone: Thanks for your responses! I realize my question was a little misleading, so I'll try to ask it differently: If you use Emacs to browse the web, do you ever fill out forms that have a space for free form comments, sort of what I call web email? Those are HTML textareas and whatever you do to save those back to the web is what I need to do to edit pages on TWiki (TWiki pages consist of HTML textareas within TWiki HTML templates). I'm trying to find an example and then try it out. I found http://www.dlink.com/tech/contact/ -- if you look at the bottom of the page in an ordinary browser you find Description or Question in large bold face type, some other text, and then a large box to enter your comments. That is a textarea and what I want to be able to fill out in Xemacs. Unfortunately, when I loaded the page in Xemacs, I had a lot of trouble trying to navigate to that box -- I don't think I ever did. My original question can then be phrased as, if I do manage to fill in that box in Xemacs, what do I do afterward to tell Xemacs I'm done, and it should save (send) the data back to the web? And, now a new question, how do I navigate to that textarea and open it for editing in Xemacs? See http://twiki.org/cgi-bin/view/Support/UsingEmacsToEditTwiki for a description of how I was able to open a textarea for editing in TWiki, but I realize this is a little different because TWiki has some CGI and other magic which occurs before displaying the text box for editing. PS: If you try to edit the TWiki page cited above, you will not be able to until some damage that occurred on Friday, May 25, 2001, is fixed.

Re: [newbie] LimeWire Again
Hi Marcia, what you need to do is key in the following in a terminal window to start the installation: java -classpath LimeWireOther.zip install To launch LimeWire after installation, you might want to create a link to the executable script for convenience e.g. in my case a link pointing to: /home/myusername/LimeWire/LimeWire I am using the IBM Java Runtime Edition (JRE), though as I understand any JRE, including Kaffe, should work with the other version install for LimeWire. I could no longer run the linux version of the LimeWire installer either after stepping up from LM7.2 to 8.0.

Re: [newbie] suspend to ram
I am not the original poster of this message, but since I own a laptop this is something that I'd like to know how to do as well. I will describe the process in hopes that someone knows how. Suspend to RAM or Hibernation, is when the computer copies the contents of the RAM of the computer and also usually the video ram to a file on the harddrive, and then powers down the computer completely. The next time the computer is turned on, the information is transferred back into RAM from the hard disk and you are right back at the point where you originally hibernated. There are two basic benefits to hibernation as opposed to shutdown. The first is that hibernation is much faster than shuting down and then rebooting. You can hibernate in about 20 seconds (depending on how much RAM the machine has) and resume in another 20 seconds. To fully shutdown and reboot a LM 8.0 machine into KDE takes about 5 min (on my computer). The second thing is that you can leave a text editor window and hibernate. Then, when you restart you can immediately start editing the text again without having to open any file. It appears right on the screen. I hope this has clarified the question. On Monday 28 May 2001 12:09, mp wrote: under linux mandrake 8 possible? thank you Ummm Not sure what you want... If you put the mount parameter noatime in the file /etc/fstab, then the disks will not be spun up to change the data time parameters, and if you set power management properly, disks will spin down. Add to that the lock screen feature, and you have a computer in hibernation, waiting for a password, except network processes are open. So how is the suspend to ram feature different than that? What purpose does it accomplish? Linux people are more used to non-stop computing, so we need an explanation. Civileme _ Get your FREE download of MSN Explorer at http://explorer.msn.com

Perhaps someone will correct me on this, but I believe SMTP-Authentication is *not* supported in kmail.

[newbie] Mandrake 8.0 Installation - Monitor Selection for Laptop?
Greetings all - Hoping that someone can assist a total Linux neophyte with a minor? install problem. I am trying to install Mandrake 8.0 on a Toshiba Tecra 8000 _laptop_. Using the standard installation with recommended devices selected install proceeds fine until the monitor selection screen. No matter what I select at this point in the process the system returns an error 32bpp not supported. It appears that the installation program is only listing 32bpp drivers... as I have tried many different selections to no avail (same error) and sometimes this trial and error has caused the installation to hang. What adapter should I select - or how can I get the installation to display 16bit drivers for X (as this is what the Toshiba supports... with 24bit emulation possible)? Everything else in the installation appears to be fine but I can't get past this monitor selection screen so the install never finishes properly.. although it will boot to Linux after cancel (but with no X windows or automatic X windows startup). Hopefully this will be an easy fix! Thanks in advance for any info. James
[newbie] 8.0 is almost Windows-easy (long)
To all those who have been reluctant to try Mandrake 8.0 because of others' reported problems: Go for it! I've been playing around with Linux on my desktop since Red Hat 5.2, and have stayed with Mandrake through the past few releases, but I am by no means an expert when it comes to *any* operating system. My computer is a fairly ordinary Pentium III machine that has two of the supposed no-nos: a VIA chipset and Western Digital drives. Despite all this, Mandrake 8.0 installed as easily as any version of Windows I've ever tried (3.1 through 98SE) and is has been almost completely trouble-free after a few weeks of operation as a desktop (not server) machine. Granted, Mandrake 8.0 is not perfect, but it's weaknesses are really my fault. Take USB: My system as a Visioneer scanner, a Hewlett-Packard 8230 CD burner and an HP Deskjet 932C printer connected to the USB bus. Mandrake's installer detected the printer as the Deskjet 930C (same printer less some home-oriented software) and works beautifully using the 930C drivers; the same was true using Mandrake 7.1 and 7.2, but with 8.0 the detection and setup are even smoother. This is a major improvement over Windows 98SE, which requires a less-than-intuitive installation procedure and sometimes won't work with the 932C at all. The CD burner was detected but not properly installed, something I could probably correct if I'd just sit down and do a little reading. (Version 7.2 knew *something* was there but couldn't couldn't identify it, much less install it.) As for the scanner, I knew before I bought it that Visioneer scanners were never intended for use with anything except Windows -- and for that matter, getting it to work under Win98SE isn't exactly a no-brainer. I'll probably end up giving the scanner to my Windows-using sister and buying one that I know is supported by Linux. Anti-alias fonts seem to be a non-issue with me. I checked the use antialiased fonts box, increased the default font sizes to 14-point (I have a 19-inch monitor, but I also sit several feet away from it), and stayed with the default Helvetica and Courier fonts -- everything looks beautiful except the End KDE session? dialog box, and that's no big deal. Oh, did I mention that I'm using an nVIDIA TNT2 Model 64 video card with the default nv driver? I don't play games a lot, so I don't know just how good this setup would be for demanding 3-D graphics, but for my uses it's just fine. The biggest problem new Linux users have, IMHO, is laziness when it comes to reading documentation. Granted, longtime computer users don't usually need the manuals for initial setup and Windows users quickly become spoiled by Microsoft's do-it-all installers; but when it comes to Linux it's always a good idea to read at least the first few pages of the installation manual before attempting installation. After it's installed, you will almost certainly want to refer to the manual a time or two in order to get everything working to your satisfaction. No, I don't always follow my own advice when it comes to reading the manuals -- but at least I've learned that when something goes wrong, almost always it's my own fault for not reading and following the instructions. Keep those manuals handy, read them in the bathroom, read them instead of grabbing the TV remote during commercials, do whatever it takes to benefit from the knowledge printed on those pages! (And if you're really a newbie to Linux, don't even *think* about trying to install Linux without a good manual. Buy a boxed set now, and leave the downloaded distributions and disc-only purchases from Cheap Bytes until you know your way around this Unix-like operating system.) The *second-biggest* problem people have with Linux is trying to run it with inadequate hardware. Yes, it imay be possible to run a minimal Linux system on a 386 with 4MB of RAM and a small hard drive -- but to do anything really useful you'll want at least a fast 486 with 16MB or more of RAM, and recent Mandrake releases are designed for Pentium-and-better processors. If you have enough RAM and hard drive capacity to run Windows 9X, you can install Mandrake, but I personally recommend at least 64 MB RAM and at least 2GB of available drive capacity; my computer has 128MB and a total (on two hard drives) of around 16MB, which is overkill today but may be just right in the future. The hardware category includes peripherals too, of course, and this is where newbies and experienced Linux users alike seem to get into a lot of trouble. With Linux, the latest and greatest isn't necessarily a good idea but checking the Linux Hardware Database definitely is. Microsoft has the clout to essentially force manufacturers to make their devices Windows compatible, but Linux doesn't -- not yet, at least. As a result, many of the Linux drivers for peripherals are written by Linux users rather than the hard-parts

Hi there, I am wondering a few things... SUBJECT #1: E-MAIL Can any of the e-mail programs (like K-Mail, Evolution, etc...) that are on here be configured to read and send messages via Yahoo e-mail (the free one)? I don't want to keep on using Netscape to load up the Yahoo e-mail page to read my e-mail, I want to be able to browse the web while going back and forth reading my e-mail. I know I can open up another window, but that takes up time and puts lag onto Netscape. SUBJECT #2: Real Player 8 I recently purchased the Desktop Edition of LM 8.0 which only has 3 CD's in it. I figured I might as well update my real player to version 8 also. I went on to their website, put in the necessary information and downloaded the file. I then I did the RPM package, appropiately, it asks for CD #4 which wasn't included with my setup because of it being the Desktop edition. If I downloaded it, why would it ask for the CD? I would understand if when I was installing it, it was on CD #4,but with the desktop edition it was 3 CD's not 4. I think it was the professional edition or something like that had the 4th - 7th CDs because it came with more. SUBJECT #3: USB Scanner I recently did what a lot of people suggesting for my USB scanner. I still can't get it to work. I downloaded the newest version of SANE, it said it was already installed. I had this when I booted up the system: NOTE, spaces are NOT accurate. Loading USB interface [OK] Mount USB filesystem [OK] Starting USB daemon[OK] So I know it knows about my USB, does that usually goto IRQ 11? If that is the case, I think i know the problem, but my soundcard which does use IRQ 11 works perfectly fine. Should I put my sound card in another PCI slot then try this again?

Re: [newbie] EMACs: How save after editing a text area?
Randy My original question can then be phrased as, if I do manage to Randy fill in that box in Xemacs, what do I do afterward to tell Xemacs Randy I'm done, and it should save (send) the data back to the web? Sounds like you're using w3 inside XEmacs as your web browser. I haven't used w3 in ages, so I tried visiting the page you mentioned and saw why you're having trouble. Unfortunately, I don't think there's much you can do at this point. It appears that either HTML tables aren't properly supported or the page in question won't display properly in a browser that doesn't understand JavaScript. I suspect you are going to have to use another browser to view that page. -- Skip Montanaro ([EMAIL PROTECTED]) (847)971-7098

Re: [newbie] suspend to ram
Actually, that's not true. You can remove the battery from a laptop and unplug it as well and hibernated data will still be there because it is stored on the hard drive. A hibernated computer uses no electricity whatsoever. The time saving comes from the fact that drivers and startup programs don't have to be loaded. They are just read from a file on the hard drive straight into ram and the boot process is therefore skipped.

Re: [newbie] Java ?
Hello, I've just tried the throughput test at the page and I didn't encounter any problems running it using Netscape 4.77 under Mandrake 8. You don't need to install the netscape plugins package to get Java working in Netscape and neither is installation of a Java Runtime necessary - however, you might want to check under Preferences -- Advanced that Java is enabled in Netscape. With a JRE installed, the tests also work under Konqueror and Mozilla for me.

[newbie] linux4windows aka mandrake 7.2 trouble
Hey folks. 1st of all, I want to make it clear, even though I know DOS, windows, program very well (Pascal, C/C++, ASM, 3d, OS dev), I don't know much about unix and linux, so please excuse me when I say something silly about *x. OK, Today I got Linux... Having never worked with it, I ordered Linux for Windows aka Mandrake 7.2 claiming to be easy to install and harmless to currently installed windows. Well, the latter is true. The former, however, is not. After the installation LILO couldn't properly print russian characters stupidly assuming the fonts with cyrillic letters are already present in BIOS. Update of currently installed linux failed for no reason with some error: the list is empty, pressing OK doesn't do much and finally returns to the same error dialog window with the list is empty thing Then I reinstalled linux with English language and finally got LILO messages readable. After that neither linux nor failsafe options in LILO didn't bring me up linux. The computer hangs up completely after the message about amount of memory allocated for cache/hash/whatever (several lines below things like kernel version, amount of memory, computer speed and calibration of delay loop). There is no any response to keyboard, there is no access to any disks. It definetely hangs up. :( And I can't do anything about that. The 3-step-like installation, advertised on the box, is false (well, perhaps it may work on somebody else's computer but not mine for sure). I guess now I understand the meaning of the dialog: - Why writing own OS? - Don't like windows, failed to install Linux. :( Here's description of my computer: - eMachines 566-i2 eTower, Celeron566, 160MB RAM, 7.5GB HDD, intel 3D AGP for video/gfx (as far as I remember it's i810 chipset, memory controller/whatever and vide/gfx curcuitry are both in the single chip). The complete description of the computer is here: http://e4me.com/infocentral/product_etower566i2.html Is there any posibility to install this damn thing w/o changing the computer, without changing the OS? I mean, it's very frustrating to pay some bucks and receive nothing in exchange, so if it's possible I'd like to know how to fix the problem and use this particular linux on this particular computer.

[newbie] 2.4 routing question (easy one)
Hey Friends! I've gotten my mandrake security firewall all set up, and it's working great. Lan traffic can get out, IP addresses are getting translated, and outside queries are dumped. Great!

Here's a quick glance at my setup: T1 Router x.x.x.33 (subnet 255.255.255.224) | | Ethernet hub - () | | | | Mandrake Security Box, eth0 WEB server, eth0 x.x.x.48 (subnet 255.255.255.224) x.x.x.50 [X] Mandrake Security Box, eth1 192.168.1.10 (subnet 255.255.255.255) | | Office hub | | workstations 192.168.1.11+ I read a bunch of the how-tos online, and I don't quite have a grasp on how to enable this rule. I know I need to allow connections from eth1 to go to eth0 but not go through the default route that leads out to the internet Do I need to set up a iproute2 table? or can I just create the route?

Re: [newbie] what is a compressed image?
Eric, H... No LM version has paused at that stage longer then half a minute or so at that stage for me, usually just a few seconds. I don't know why it would lock up at that stage.

I believe it boots from this, but I am not sure. Someone more expert would know better then me. Sometimes it takes a few seconds for this stage to finish. The next step should be something like entering second stage install or something like that. At times it could appear to lock up at that point. Are you not waiting long enough or is it really locking up? Windows ME has nothing to do with what you are seeing. Wiping your hard drive will not help! Thanks for the reply and the info. I've already wiped the hard drive - oh well, I'm sick of windows too. I do wait a long time, but I know it's locked cause the ligts on the keyboard all locke up and the system is completely unresponsive.
