If you are trying to mount the CD and then play it, you don't do that with an audio CD. Just put the CD in and close the tray and then select the player of your choice. If you use CD Player then the play list should load automatically. If you use ALSA or XMMs you have to make selections to get it to go. But the point is that audio cds don't need a mount command.

[newbie] Kernel 2.4.8-31.2mdk (error messages on bootup)
I just installed kernel 2.4.8-31.2 to upgrade from 2.4.3-20. Later. I tried to install kernel 2.4.17.1-1 which did not install, because of failed dependencies. On reboot, I noticed a few error messages during boot-up. I wonder what they mean, and whether they're serious: Change_root: old root has d_count= 2 Trying to unmount old root . . . <3>error -16 Change root to /initrd: error -2 Everything seems to be working OK with the 2.4.8-31.2 kernel. I'm wondering whether these error messages were generated by the .17 kernel? Is there any possibility that the attempt to install the .17 kernel has left a "residue" that is messing something up? Do I need to "uninstall" it, even though it was never really "installed". If the .17 kernel attempt did interfere with the .8 kernel, should I uninstall & re-install it? What would the command be to uninstall? I'm rather new at kernel installation. In hindsight, I probably shouldn't have messed with the .17 kernel.

[newbie] Hmm....maybe call it installation source?
Hi, all I have copied the files from all 3 CDs onto an ftp server so I can do ftp installs, but when I select new software to install with software manager, I still have to put in the CDs. Instead of shuffling CDs in and out of CD-ROM, is there anyway to have package manager retrieve file from the ftp server automatically? Another question is that I would like to replace some of the rpm with newer ones so that no upgrading is required after installation. If I tried just simply replaced the rpm file, it will just tell me that it cannot find the (original) rpm file. I have a feeling the questions are related to hdlist.cz in base folder, but have no clue on how or what to use to edit it. Any help is appreciated.

Has anyone experienced problems with mozilla stalling when you visit a site using flash. I've noticed via a number of other posts regarding problems with realplayer hanging that the solution was to issue the command 'artsdsp realplay'. I've since noticed that if you run mozilla using the same command ie 'artsdsp mozilla' I don't experience the same hanging problem with the flash plugin when I visits the sights, it loads and plays immediately. I then reverted back running mozilla without the artsdsp prefix and it hangs. So this may be a work-around, it worked for my system anyway.

[newbie] 8.1 CD player problems
I recently upgraded from 7.2 to 8.1 and am in the process of hunting down the inevitable bugs that usually result from upgrades. I must say, however, this version update was the smoothest I've ever experienced. Good job, Mandrake! I'm running KDE 2.2 as the environment on an Asus motherboard I built with an Athlon 650 CPU, 128 meg., two HDrives, one floppy, and one CD. Neither KDE's CD Player nor Grip will open and play a music CD. Both are unable to open the cd device (as a user or as root). Data CDs read fine from Konqueror. Could this be a problem with "supermount"? That feature has not been present in my earlier installations of Mandrake (and Red Hat). The following two lines appeared in my /etc/fstab after the 8.1 installation: /mnt/cdrom /mnt/cdrom supermount dev=/dev/hdc,fs=iso9660 0 0 /mnt/floppy /mnt/floppy supermount dev=/dev/fd0,fs=vfat 0 0 The supermount feature has been a bit unpredictable in mounting and unmounting the CD, but I'm learning the quirks and how to live with it. Could the music CD inability have something to do with the device definition of fs=iso9660 in the fstab file? Has anybody got this all figured out? Thanks.

[newbie] 8.1 program install=kernel panic
I have a problem with 8.1 can anyone help please? I have PII233 128Mb ram and ATI rage turbo agp graphics card,NE2000 compatible network card and generic scsi isa card for blackwidow scanner. I am flummoxed, every time I try to boot from cdrom to install 8.1 the install locks up (during expert) or reboots on other install options. The error at lockup is always RAMDISK: Compressed image found at block0 Uncompressing <0> CPU 0 :Machine Check Exception:1604 Bank 0:b2800800 Bank 3:b2080a01 Kernel panic:CPU context corrupt This happens with 8.0 and 7.2 and suse7.3. It did not happen with redhat 6.1 or mandrake 6.0. I have PII233 128Mb ram and ATI rage turbo agp graphics card,NE2000 compatible network card and generic scsi isa card for blackwidow scanner. I have changed the bios in loads of combinations but nothing works. I would love to get 8.1 working so that once tested I can install it on my main workday computer and perhaps laptop.

Re: [newbie] deleted partition HELP!
Oobups, sorry forgot those parameters, lemme try that again. Ok the drive is a 20Gb drive, with basically a blank partition table, but with the actual partition boundaries still there. /dev/hda5 (I don't know for sure) was mounted on /home it was the thrid therd 3rd partition inward, I don't remembner the devices, but each directory was mounted in this order. /boot then / then /home each dir was mounted to its own device on the drive, but I don't remember what they were. I know all of the filesystems were native linux (ext2) and the last one was a linux swap. I will display here what the fdisk said. Disk /dev/hda: 255 heads, 63 sectors, 2501 cylinders Units = cylinders of 16065 * 512 bytes Device BootStart EndBlocks Id System /dev/hda1 1281 1907 5036377+ 83 Linux I do not that its right, because it was "blank" before I tried to run Partition Magic Pro on it, this was the best PMp could do I guess. I would like to know if the ext2 explorer thing would work since these are all ext2 partitions, excapt the last one of course being a swap. __ Do You Yahoo!? Send FREE video emails in Yahoo!

Re: [newbie] Is CGI set up ... FIXED -(permission related)
Mitch, I have not experienced the problem you're having. As a test I took a cgi script that I have running on my web server and changed both the owner and the group to root, and the script still executes. It might be possible that there is an entry in your configuration that prohibits scripts owned by root from being served.

Re: [newbie] Shell Script
Thanks but I keep getting the same answer. I did*** give permission, as root, for anyone to run the script. I used chmod 755 scriptname, while logged in as root. Still, it wouldn't run from the web page, but it would run from the command line. It just wouldn't run. Period. Then, all I did -- one single thing -- was change ownership with chown to the user who owned the home directory in which the script was located. So, my question was, can root not give permission to run a script in a user's home directory? I know the obivious answer is: sure! But, nevertheless, my script would not run with permission from root. It just wouldn't, until I changed ownership to the user. I can't explain it, which is why I'm asking. Am i missing something here? If so, please tell me -- because there's something going on that apparently no one knows the answer to. It seems obivious and simple and basic, etc. But it's not. Why do I keep getting answers like, "Change permission" ... "There's a difference between permission and ownership" "Read about permissions, it's all explained" ... I know I know !! :) See past postings. I do know the difference between permissions and ownership. Changing the permissions did nothing; changing the ownership did -- which is _why_ I came here for some enlightenment. My question is: how could changing the ownership of the file to a user would magically allow the file to run, whereas having the file owned by root would not allow it to run? The file is in the user's home directory. Thanks for the help, but I give up :). No one seems to understand what I'm asking. Oh well ... I know it doesn't make sense. That's why it's sooo weird. How else can I explain it? I guess it's just time to let this one die. After all, the script is working now.

No, you should not confuse permissions and ownership. Ownership and permissions are independent. When you run ls -al from the shell, you have the permission string first and then the owner and the group. As root, you can allow anybody to run anything. Suppose your script is called rootownedscript, you can allow anybody to run it by typing chmod o+x rootownedscript (o means other, x means execute, therefore chmod o+x = make executable for other). Well, if you read the manual (type man chmod from a terminal), you will know everything about chmod. But as a warning, be careful to what you allow to your users... I wouldn't recommend to allow diskdrake or other funny tools to be allowed to all users... > I had written a perl cgi script, and it wouldn't run from the web page, > as > it turns out because I had created it as root.

[newbie] Strange behaviour after MandrakeUpdate
I am running 8.1 I have used MandrakeUpdate and selected the 3 categories (Bug fixes, Normal, Security). I installed everything except the Kernels (3 packages). After that, once rebooting, the following happens: 1. During boot the network is available (I can ping the Linux machine from outside). As soon as the Login Screen becomes available (or shortly after) the network is unreachable. The Linux machine is not visible from outside and it cannot reach other machines. But it can ping itself (using 192.168.0.1 or the machine name). 2. The Graphical Login wants to reconfigure my desktop as if it was the first time. When I select the first step (the KDE desktop but it is the same with Gnome), then the NVidia screen appears and I am prompted again with the Login Screen. The only way I can access my system is via a non-graphical console Could someone tell me if I did something wrong when I used MandrakeUpdate (I mean, should i only have used the "Security" category ???) or if this problem was exprimented by other people? How could I get a working system back (other than re-installing MDK 8.1 again) ? Thanks a lot. Best regards /stefano Want to buy your Pack or Services from MandrakeSoft?

Re: [newbie] file sharing
limewire.com has a linux clinent out, it's writen in java, so make sure you have SUN's java installed (kaffe didn't cut it for this program) it uses the gnutella network, but will connect much better. If you have trouble connecting, change the amount of connected hosts from 2 to 99, this will always give you a good connection :) mark On Wednesday 09 January 2002 12:34 am, you wrote: > On 07 Jan 2002 21:16:24 -0800 > > chuck <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> wrote: > > To be more specific, I am looking for a P2P file sharing client.

The answer to your question is yes. You can use both, but not at the same time. One must be chosen as the default.

I have tried to configure it using hardrake but this card is not in the list. Moreover the boxes to fill with IRQ, DMA etc are not visible. (Bug in hardrake ??) Moreover I have found puzzling information about this card: I have seen on the mandrake site that this card "has been used and reported as compatible by someone of the MandrakeSoft team ". On the ALSA -site it is quoted that "Support for cards or chipsets is undetermined as of yet." Does anyone know how to install this card ? Thanks for any help ! Regards.
