[newbie] nvidia on kernel 2.4.13-12mdkenterprise
Hi all I've been trying to get the nvidia (closed source) drivers to work with 2.4.13-12mdkenterprise but I'm not having much luck. First I tried the source rpms but the kernel source rpm wouldn't compile - Can't insmod NVdriver thingy even tho NVdriver was in the right place. Then I compiled the tarballs which gave no errors and installed correctly - or so it told me ; ) However, I have done this about 8 times now and I've even tried clean reinstalls of ML8.1 (twice) but no go. I have to mess around with XFdrake but testing the config always tells me that there was an error and to change some options. Eventually I choose my monitor (Philips 107S), NVIDIA-GeForce2 DDR (generic) graphic card, 800x600 16bits resolution, XFree 4.1.0 server, quit (without testing), edit XF86Config-4 and startx - everything works fine initially, even tuxracer, tuxkart and gears work fine. But if I log out of X or reboot I start getting segmentation faults on most things I try to do in konsole (bash). The strange thing is once I start getting segmentation faults like trying to open kmail from konsole I can still start kmail from clicking on the menu. Gears, tuxracer, tuxkart, etc won't run at all then. I've tried both nvidia's 1.0-1541.1 and 1.0-2313. I've also upgraded XFree86 but that didn't make any difference. I've tried the depmod -a and reboot thing too but that also made no difference. So basically I give up on trying to use 3D on this kernel. I have a separate installation of ML8.1 on 2.4.8-26mdkenterprise (sharing /boot, /home and /usr/local) on the same computer with NVIDIA_kernel-2.4.8-26mdk-enterprise-1.0-1541.2mdk.i586.rpm installed and working fine (no segfaults) - but supermount is broken in that kernel. The reason I am using enterprise kernels is for the large amount of ram. My graphics card is nvidia GeForce2 GTS PRO 64MB w TV-out. I apologise for the long message but I was just letting ya'll know what I've tried so far. I'm not worried if nobody can help me on this one but any advice would be greatly appreciated. skinky -- But what ... is it good for?

[newbie] Error after KDE starts
Hi, I have this error Sound server fatal Error, CPU overload aborting, inside a KDE error box. from then on there is no system sound, ie sounds associated with actions etc. But the sound card still works and so does the sound from the TV card. I think this is arts that is failing. I did read that it was a KDE problem, but would like to know if others have seen this and if there is an error. The system that I get this on has had the nodevfs option enabled and also the usb fix. The system is a dual 400 MHz machine, so I don't really think that the system's CPU is overloaded, and that there is another fault. This error doesn't always happen, but when It does, the machine doesn't shutdown fully and I have to press reset. At least that's what I have observed.

I used Putty to log in but it never asked me for my pass phrase, just my username and password. I why should Putty or the ssh server on the other box be asking for your passphrase. ssh is a secure terminal server and putty is a terminal client app that allows you to make secure terminal connections to a computer using Openssh or some other ssh server/client setup. there are no passphraseses involved here. therefore none are asked for nor are none needed to be given. Just username and password for authentication and access. I managed to lock myself out by not including eth0 in the Bastille trusted interfaces config. Could this be the cause? I'm about as far from a firewall expert as you can get, but this certainly does it pretty effectively and would preumably stop ping in its tracks too. I'm assuming here that you are on a LAN of course... /Brian Want to buy your Pack or Services from MandrakeSoft? Go to http://www.mandrakestore.com
Re: [newbie] wizdrake
I have never used it, but I remember reading once that you also have to install wizards_lib In fact Mandrake software manager lists a whole slew of Wizard libraries. I would also be a bit worried about installing kaffe. Kaffe is an Opensiurce Java VM, and its possible that by installing it you might have changed the symlinks to your Sun Java if you have it installed. Check out the symlinks /usr/bin/java and /bin/java to make sure they still point to the Sun java VM (assuming you have it installed) Derek On Thursday 13 December 2001 10:18, Alan Dunford wrote: On Friday 07 December 2001 20:23, you wrote: Congratulations.

[newbie] Slow image activation
I have a total of 4 Linux machines (OK, some of them dual boot, but let's not talk about that) on a home/office LAN. One of them is a dedicated server, which offers some NFS exports. Everything works very nicely, except that programs take forever to load the first time. Just to fire up a konsole can take 10 seconds plus - this on a machine rated at 2800 bogomips with lots of memory. After things have been up for a while (don't know how long, but many minutes at least), everything is quick again. Haven't tested exhaustively, but it seems that with the LAN unplugged, none of this applies. Monitoring with top doesn't reveal any CPU hogs - kapm-idled is getting almost everything, but I see the same behaviour on each client machine, so presumably the server is the common factor. Can any system admin gurus suggest a place for me to start looking? thanks /Brian Want to buy your Pack or Services from MandrakeSoft? Go to http://www.mandrakestore.com

Re: [newbie] NVIDIA - Making Head-Way!
I really have no clue... but I'll throw out some suggestions anyway. Take these with a grain of salt. Try setting X to run at the same color depth, and resolution as UT, and see if that fixes it. I believe on a lot of these, the color depth must match. The color depth is configured in XF86Config-4. The resolution can be cycled by Ctrlaltkeypad +. It will cycle the res's you've configured for use.

Just hit the delete key and let people like me who rely heavily on the gurus, but know enough to answer the simple ones deal with them. cheers /Brian Want to buy your Pack or Services from MandrakeSoft?
