[newbie] dns and mdk8.0
I've been off the list for a couple of months, but I've got a name resolve problem that's driving me nuts, so here I am again. My mdk 8.0 box fails to resolve hostnames after connecting to my isp. I've even re-installed thinking that something was screwed with the original installation--to no avail. My local lan works fine, though. What's weird is that my configuration files are exact copies of the files that work on my mdk7.1 and 7.2 machines. here's my resolv.conf: search myispname.net nameserver xxx.xxx.xxx.xx #my isp's first dns server nameserver xxx.xxx.xxx.xx #my isp's secondary dns server This is what it is NOW, after trying a dozen other things. My original resolv.conf (which still works on my older mdk boxes) is: search mylocaldomain nameserver xxx.xxx.xxx.xx #my isp's first dns server nameserver xxx.xxx.xxx.xx #my isp's secondary dns server bind and dns cacheing is installed--which wasn't done by default. The search order is: hosts, bind multi on In the kppp dial-up the box to disable other dns servers when connecting is checked, and my isp's DNS addresses are correct. I'm really at my wit's end, and am convinced that mdk8.0 has done something differently than the earlier distro's, so that I need to change or create a configuration that I haven't before. Any help would be appreciated. And, btw, nslookup doesn't give me anything--just a after a little message that says it's obsolete. And, after connecting, I can't ping my isp--destination host unreachable. And, I repeat, my config files are EXACT copies of those on my other boxes--only the localhost name/address is changed to protect the innocent. Kppp is set up exactly the same way on all the boxes. eryl
[newbie] IBM Websphere HomePage Builder for Linux -- Opinions?
Dear friends: I've recently downloaded the IBM Websphere HomePage Builder v. 4 for Linux (60-day trial version). I would very much appreciate your opinions on this program. First, you can get the program from: http://www-4.ibm.com/software/webservers/hpbuilder/linux/download.html Here are the files: [sher@localhost IBM-HomePage]$ ls -la total 43052 drwxrwxrwx2 root root 4096 Jul 12 04:23 ./ drwxrwxrwx 20 root root 4096 Jul 12 02:39 ../ -rwxrwxrwx1 root root 8065661 Jul 9 08:31 hpb4pug.pdf* -rwxrwxrwx1 root root 19874235 Jul 9 07:39 hpbuilder-4.0-1.i386.rpm* -rwxrwxrwx1 root root 14483967 Jul 9 08:26 hpbuilder-tutorial-4.0-1.i386.rpm* -rwxrwxrwx1 root root 1638464 Jan 20 17:17 hpbuilder-wine-4.0-1.i386.rpm* [sher@localhost IBM-HomePage]$ The Websphere HomeBuilder runs a special IBM version of wine. Installation is absolutely automatic. You just rpm -Uvh the wine file, then the Websphere rpms and that's it. You then type hpbuilder as user with the appropriate argument, e.g. $hpbuilder -e brings up the Webpage editor. $hpbuilder -c starts the WebArt Designer interface. That's it. You don't have to mess with the wine file AT ALL except to install it. Once installed, the Websphere HomePage Builder automatically uses it to launch its various programs without any action on your part. Wine remains totally invisible after installation. [sher@localhost IBM-HomePage]$ hpbuilder Usage: hpbuilder [options] -a start the 'Web Animator' program -c start the 'WebArt Designer' program -e start the 'Web page editor' program -f start the 'File Transfer' program -g start online user's guide -t start the 'Multimedia Tutorial' program -u clean up temporary file -h produce this help message -v report hpbuilder version [sher@localhost IBM-HomePage]$ The program costs $69, so, if it's the right thing, it would certainly seem to me to be a reasonable price to pay and a great way to support those who support Linux, in this case, IBM. Now, this program is also available for Windows. MY QUESTION OF THE DAY: In looking over the program, which has extraordinarily extensive documentation (the User's Guide is over 250 pages long and in PDF format, to boot! -- you got to give IBM credit here), I was very impressed (as a newbie, of course) by all parts of the program. HOWEVER, the Linux version uses Netscape 4.x as its browser of choice. My question is: If you design pages using Websphere and Netscape 4.x in Linux, how will these pages look in Windows (and on the Mac)? Websphere does support the latest technologies and standards and protocols. However, and here are my two questions, will using the Linux version of Websphere with Netscape 4.x as the test browser guarantee a) that pages and sites generated with Websphere will look just like the pages generated with the Websphere for Windows version? and b) that pages and sites generated with Websphere, either for Linux or Windows, be compatible with both IE and Netscape and Mozilla in general, whatever the platform? I could ask IBM these questions and I will. However, I wanted to get the opinions of USERS. It's not just a question of $69. It's a question of an ounce of prevention... I would like to know in advance whether Websphere for Linux (and secondarily, Websphere for Windows) is the right tool for the job. I'd hate to create web sites and pages and then find out I have been using the wrong program. One thing I am sure about. I would like to avoid at all costs using any Microsoft web program like FrontPage. I have already seen what Word97 can do to a web site, and I want to stay away as far as possible from Microsoft's standards and tools. I would prefer to use a neutral tool that can handle all platforms. I think the IBM Websphere program may be just what I need. But I need confirmation from experts and users who have actually used it extensively. Thank you very much for listening and I hope to hear from you all.

[newbie] Internet Configuration bug
Dear Civilme: Just wanted to report a minor but critical bug in the Internet Connection Configuration. It happens both during Install and when trying to configure Internet Connection from scratch in the Mandrake Control Center. This little bug caused me no end of confusion and agony when I first tried to configure my Internet Connection in LM 8.0. Here it is: I have two NIC cards on my system: eth0 (3c905b) and eth1 (Syslink tulip). I connect to the Internet through eth0 and my LAN then connects my computer 1 to computer 2 by means of eth1. The bug occurs if you choose to let LM 8.0 detect your NIC cards AUTOMATICALLY. In my case, it selects LAN for my configuration. That's wrong. I do not connect to the Internet on computer 1 through LAN but through DSL. When I accepted this official detection by LM 8.0 and tried (several times) to configure my LAN, I then found it impossible to install Internet Sharing. I was very confused and almost gave up on Internet Sharing. But then I decided to go against this official detection and chose DSL, which brought up BOTH eth0 and eth1, configured eth0 for my Internet Connection and completed my Install. Then, when I booted up, both eth0 and eth1 were recognized, logged into KDE and clicked on Internet (Network Monitoring), which connected me to the Internet using my ADSL eth0. Once I was online, I went into Mandrake Control Center, skipped Internet Connection altogether, went directly into Internet Sharing and used the Wizard to configure my LAN. The Wizard reported that it would set up my LAN using my eth1 (tulip). Right on the money. It then automatically downloaded and installed all the necessary files and, bingo, in seconds, my second computer was connected to the Internet using ADSL. The point is that the automatic detection thoroughly confused me. I just assumed that LM 8.0's Wizard knows better than me what ought to be configured at this staqe. And LM 8.0's Wizard in this case was DEAD WRONG. I wanted to let you know so that this bug can be fixed or else some text be added to the configuration of Internet Connection AT THIS CRITICAL JUNCTURE of the Install. That's it. All my thanks for a great job and a great distro. Benjamin -- Sher's Russian Web http://www.websher.net Benjamin and Anna Sher [EMAIL PROTECTED]

Anyway, deleted that and the problem vanished for subsequent xterms. Try looking for something like that. Try ls -a for both root and user and look for hidden files which do not appear in both.

[newbie] XF86Config Issue.
Hi again, I have a question about entering monitor resolutions in advanced mode in another Linux flavor and PPC hardware, but as far as I understand, the principle should be one of the few universal elements in all Linux distros. I am trying to install Yellow Dog Linux on a UMAX Pulsar (Mac clone) but keep getting hung up on monitor resolution. There is not test mode as in Mandrake. An advanced mode example would be a monitor that can do 1280x1024 resolution at 85Hz, where the option for horizontal monitor sync would be 31.5 - 95.0. There must be someone out there with experience in this area. For anyone wishing to make snide wrong list remarks, I have tried the right list and no help was available. I also at the same time made a point out complaining that there was no test possibility during the install procedure like in my favorite distro - Mandrake. I am using a Matrox card and monitor resolution is usually set at 832x624 resolution at 75Hz, but settings show that I also could set it at 832x624 resolution at 85Hz, 800x600 resolution at 85Hz, 1024x768 resolution at 60, 67, 74.9 or 85Hz or at 640x480 resolution at 60 or 85Hz. What would the option for horizontal monitor sync be? How do I determine the vertical monitor sync? The monitor is an Apple Multiple Scan 15AV Display. According to the manual it is multiple scan, resolution range 640 x 480 to 1024 x 768 and with a 0.28 mm dot pitch. Cheers, Brian --
Re: [newbie] Compiling while using Reiser FS in LM8

Re: [newbie] WinGate and Mandrake Linux problem (again, again).
If you still cannot connect after you change your DNS settings try this: I run Wingate Standard 4.3 with Extended Network Service (ENS). The ENS allows non-wingate client machines to connect to the network. I dual boot my server and my workstation. The Linux workstation works seemlessly no matter what service is running.

However: I can't get the logic of adding all the extra programs that came with it. E.G. I know somewhere in there is IBM's ViaVoice program. snip yes yes, I had the same trouble finding kDelvelop and the like. try, when you're in your software manager, toggling between the catagorized list and the other one (kant think of the exact name). this will make it alphabetical and you can look thataway. :)
