[newbie-it] kernel mandrake 8.1

La directory /usr/src/linux non esiste. C'è una strada alternativa? Guardando il Software Manager, tutto quello che riguarda il kernel sembra già installato Grazie per l'eventuale aiuto Fabio

[newbie-it] configurazioe di un USB ISDN TA
Ciao a tutti sono un nuovo utente di Linux utilizzo la distribuzione MANDRAKE 8.1 e sono alle prese con la configurazione del mio "modem" USB ISDN TA (suppongo della Trust technology) Sto passando le notti davantigli HOWTO ma ho trovato poco riguardo agli USB ISDN TA Ho gia' controllato il sito http://www.linux-usb.org senza successo Sul sito della SuSE ho trovato questa procedura: -- You want to use a USB ISDN terminal adapter with SuSE Linux. Procedure:The following BIOS options have to be set: USB enabled USB IRQ enabled PnP OS installed disabled The variable "START_USB" in the file /etc/rc.config must be set to "yes". Easiest way to change this value is to use YaST1: - System administration - Change configuration file After a system restart the following modules should have been loaded: usbcore usb-uhci or usb-ohci You can check this with the command lsmod as superuser root. Now configure your ISDN modem with YaST1. Therefore open the following dialogue: - System administration - Network configuration - Configure PPP network Now you are in the Wvdial configuration menu. Please select "Autodetect modem". Now your modem should be detected. A standard analog modem would have been configured correctly at this stage and only the provider has to be specified yet under "Configure the current profile" or you choose one of the preconfigured call-by-call provider. But ISDN modems (also called terminal adapters) don't act like analog modems and they need a special initialization string. This has to be set with - Configure the current profile - Expert menu Select "(Standard-Analog-Modem/non-ISDN) Modem Type" for your terminal adapter. If you don't find an entry for your device, you must search at your terminal adapter manual for an AT command, that switches on the point-to-point-transfer mode. Mostly it can be found with the keyword "syncPPP". Type in this init string as "Init String 2 (sent to modem after first)". -- ma non trovo il file rc.config e i moduli usbcore e usb-uhci sono abilitati anche se appare la dicitura (unused) scusate la lunghezza del messaggio spero che potrete indirizzarmi per la retta via Fabrizio

[newbie] probs after kdeutils update
i'm a newbie, so u have been warned!!! i think i have done something really stupid with my mandrake 8.1 i saw the other day that karchive didn't work and i wanted to get 'a new version'. i searched the internet and saw that this karchive tool is to be found in the package kdeutils. therefore i decided to install a newer version of kdeutils. the installation program said me 'i hadn't got some libraries', but one way or another i forced the installation, resulting in a not working kdeutils. (as i said, i am a newbie and didn't read any readme files as i am not used to that in windows) so now i have a new kdeutils with the rest of my kde in an older version. :( (i also want to mention that i did an installation with mandrakeupdate during that very same session. it could be that i have done an update of a part of the kernel without knowing it, i assumed everything would be ok as it was an automatic mandrakeupdate, or something...) the result is that my networkconnections are lost and that my windows-, floppy- and cddrive-mounts are gone. so my question is can i undo this change? or is my only hope for recovery a reinstallation? thanx in advance, daan _ MSN Foto's is de eenvoudigste manier om je favoriete foto's te delen, te bewerken en af te drukken. http://photos.msn.nl/Support/WorldWide.aspx Want to buy your Pack or Services from MandrakeSoft?

Re: [newbie] Mandrake 7.0: can't install rpm files
On Monday 28 January 2002 03:17, you wrote: From your description it sounds like something has become knackered in the Mandrake 7.0 configuration. You should not be encountering architecture issues. If you're inclined, the first thing I would try is backing up all pertinent data on the Mandrake partition that you need to keep, then reinstalling from scratch. That may solve your problem without upgrading. However, if it was me, I would get Mandrake 8.1 if I was going to reinstall. This is without a doubt the best Linux distro I've tried yet. Hi all, here are some specs. *Intel Pentium 4 1.8GHz-133 *Intel 845E Chipset *512 MB RAM *80GB IDE HardDrive *TNT2 M64 32mb Video Card *Linux Mandrake 7.0 *Linux-kernel 2.2.14 *I recently purchased a new PC and installed linux Mandrake 7.0 using DrakeX. The PC has been partitioned as follows. Win98 partition 5Gbytes /boot / 17Gytes swap 1024Mbytes /home about 50Gbytes (the rest) Description of Problem When I try and install any additional packages within linux using any one of the rpm package manages (i.e. kpackage, drakerpm etc) I get an error reading: package name is for a different architecture. Ive tried many packages that came within the CDs (including i586 rpm files). The same error was given following each attempt. In addition I uninstalled several packages already installed during the DrakeX installation and attempted to reinstalled them. I got the same problem. I need to install additional packages in order to run a research software package. I dont understand why Im getting this architecture incompatibility problem. Is the Intel 845E chipset incompatible with mandrake 7.0? Do I need to upgrade to Linux Mandrake 8.1? I eagerly look forward to a reply. Manuel http://my.yahoo.com.au - My Yahoo! - It's My Yahoo!

RE: [newbie] ZIP drive under Linux-Mandrake 8.1?
Negative. /etc/fstab is read by mount everytime it needs to mount something. Additions are no problem.

Re: [newbie] Starting Apache + PHP
Hi Todd, Just received your message today (Feb 1st!). In the meantime, I dumped the LM8.0 versions of Apache/PHP and tried source. Not much better. Anyway, I re-installed LM8.0 versions and, yes, in commonhttpd.conf there are those lines which I uncommented. Now, either as user or root, with the test file in /var/www/html, I still get text. So, how did you activate php? What did you do if you wanted to run a test to see if it was working? Where did you do it from (and did you try as user with permissions to the group apache? What should I expect to see? Unfortunately, I've trashed Netscape's mime-types after trying manually to insert the type: whenever I try a php file, it asks me where I want to save it. If only I could remember where I deleted entries like that in Netscape . . . : This has gone beyond an obsession. I've sort of lost track exactly why I want php installed, if the installtion causes so much grief, what about when it's in use? Anyway, thanks for the tip. If you've got any other suggestions to get this php thing php-ing, I I love to hear them!

I wondered what they were talking about -- and I have checked them all! In desperation, I finally decided to go source. I d/l the binary from Apache, and after my first attempt, I still cannot see my test file. I'll have to check my PHP config. I think my version of Apache is pretty recent. You don't have a file commonhttpd.conf in /etc/httpd/conf? Maybe do a find? This is about half-way through my commonhttpd.conf, and I just uncommented the last two lines: # AddType allows you to tweak mime.types without actually editing it, or to # make certain files to be certain types. # # For example, the PHP 3.x module (not part of the Apache distribution - see # http://www.php.net) will typically use: # #AddType application/x-httpd-php3 .php3 #AddType application/x-httpd-php3-source .phps # # And for PHP 4.x, use: # AddType application/x-httpd-php .php AddType application/x-httpd-php-source .phps I guess the nice thing about installing it from Mandrake disc is that it's already configured. I didn't touch any PHP file. Is moving up to 8.1 (or soon, 8.2) an option? Perhaps, that's the problem: I'm unclear where any files that I make should go. Are they supposed to be put in the /htdocs area in apache's directory? Will they work from elsewhere? I've also set up a /public_html directory in personal home directory. My web files go in /var/www/html. If your root is /htdocs, that's where I would put them. I'm not sure but what you may need to give permission to normal users to use PHP. Maybe try alt.os.linux.mandrake, a PHP or Apache group.

[newbie] Installed Applications
There appear to be literally thousands of applications that get installed when you install Mandrake 8.1. I chose the expert level install, and thought I was being real good about choosing which packages to install and which one not to install. But now I'm not so sure... it appears I missed some I needed and installed others that don't seem to do anything. So all this aside, my question then is this: How do you decide what to install and what not to install? is there anyone that actually knows what all these applications do?

Re: [newbie] glibc change
On Friday 01 February 2002 12:08, you wrote: Glibc is the core of the Linux operating system. When you tinker with that, you are basically tinkering with just about everything in the system. I won't say that it can't be done, mainly because I've done it...with previous distros. But I will tell you that you're getting into a can of worms here. The dependencies will thread through a whole _bunch_ of packages on your system. To nutshell it, you will be using the --force option with rpm quite a bit. And of course, whenever you do that, you know that carries a large amount of risk with regard to the working state of all packages involved. Which basically involves almost everything. I'm not trying to discourage you here; in fact, I think you ought to try it. There may be someone here who has had direct experience with glibc upgrades and the Mandrake 8.0 distro; if so, I hope they will come forward. For myself, however, because of the snake bites I've had in the past with glibc upgrades, I prefer to move to the next distro in line; in this case, Mandrake 8.1. If you want a memorable experience, go the glibc upgrade route. If you want a time saving experience, go the route of the next highest stable distro. Good luck...and maybe someone else here has a glibc magic wand for you. Hopefully, anyway. Hi everyone, What's the safier way to install the more recent glibc libraries ? I just want to know how to upgrade from the glibc of MDK8.0 to those from MDK8.1. I have already try to upgrade my system with the CD's but I lost my system.

Looking at my old trusty Amiga, obviously with a full GUI, with the YAM (mailer) plus voyager (web browser) and shell plus top, I see it using only 3.8MB and it`s running ntp in addition to comparable stuff on Mandrake e.g. screensaver. This is one of those frequently asked questions, and that is as it should be cause people migrating from other OSs don't see this at all. Linux does not like a void and will use RAM for caching data on your system. A bad explanation but check out the last few days in archives. There was a very good explanation just a day or two ago on how linux uses RAM and frees it up as needed.

[newbie] /opt and /initrd directories
Hello all, I am currently going through my file system in order to learn more about linux and I have come across these two directories that are empty. /opt /initrd I was wondering if someone could tell me what they are for and if it will break anything if I remove them.

[newbie] Install Problems Compaq 700T
Recently, went out and brought 8.1. This is my first jump into linux, so I installed next to WinXP. Install goes fine, but after i tell linux to boot in LILO the computer just restarts. All options led to the same effect. WinXP was unbootable, so I wiped the drive clean, still the same problem. Any help? Stats.

[newbie] solution to ebda too large error?
I'm dual booting Mandrake 8.1 and Windows XP. When I installed Mandrake, I let it write LILO to the MBR, and it worked great. I could boot into either one without any problems. Then, I installed some security patches using the software updater thing, and suddenly I can't get into Linux anymore. I can get into Windows just fine, but when I choose Mandrake, it says: ebda too large and just hangs. I searched for this error message and found some people that had it saying that it was because the kernel was too large. They didn't suggest any solution though. It's funny that a security update could some how make my kernel too large...anyway, somebody know what I should do to fix this? Thank you. Want to buy your Pack or Services from MandrakeSoft?

Re: [newbie] Star Office as RPM ?
Thank you Michel, I downloaded star office in binary format from Sun's website, and as you said installing it was as easy as clicking on a .exe But since this was brought up, would any of the list gurus please kindly post a short list clearifying how do u know how to install the diffirent types of files ? I mean something like a small list : - file.rpm will be installed by the rpm - option command - file.bin with bla bla command - when to use the ./ , when do u need to chmod the file before u install ...etc Many thanks in advance to any volunteer :-) But really, installing either OpenOffice or StarOffice from the installation binary is about as hard as clicking on install.exe in a windows system. You should not need to install either from source. 1. go to www.openoffice.org 2. follow instructions there to download install641_linux_intel.tar.gz 2a. Go make several cups of coffee - this is a big file! 3. Open a terminal and use cd to go to the directory where you downloaded the file , for example cd /home/a_user/downloads ENTER 4. untar and gunzip the file (use the winzip-like kab application if you like, otherwise just use tar -xvzf install641_linux_intel.tar.gz ENTER from the command line, without the quotes of course). A directory called install with lots of files in it will be formed. cd to it: cd install ENTER 5 Now run the command ./setup ENTER 6.

Re: [newbie] Install Problems Compaq 700T
Yup, thats where I am now =D. Though Compaq never did send me just a windows cd, I got a 3 cd compaq install, so anything normal window fixes hadn't worked. Found and XP bootdisk image on the web, and went from there. Very strangely the first 2 times I had done fdisk /mbr, the computer restarted displaying only garbage symbols. *The trick was to fall asleep the third time, in which I woke up to the awful windows tune, strange but true* I am not concerned with running windows at the moment. I just want to get Mandrake up and running. Also just a note, I tried grub that had no luck. thanks Want to buy your Pack or Services from MandrakeSoft? Go to http://www.mandrakestore.com
Re: [newbie] /opt and /initrd directories
Hi Shanon, Here is the definition of the /opt directory, straight from the Filesystem Hierarchy Standard 2.2: /opt is reserved for the installation of add-on application software packages. If you are interested in learning about the Linux filesystem, the FHS document is a worthwhile read. You can find it at: http://www.pathname.com/fhs/ ..As for /initrd - I'm not quite sure. :) I hope this helps.

Re: [newbie] Install Problems Compaq 700T
booting linux in windows style http://www.linuxdoc.org/HOWTO/mini/Loadlin+Win95-98-ME-4.html 4.1 Step One: Edit (or create) config.sys on the root of Drive C. The contents should be similar to the following: --- [menu] menuitem=Linux, Mandrake Linux 7.2 menuitem=Win98, Windows 98 menucolor=15,1 menudefault=Win98, 10 [linux] [win98] If your system already has a config.sys file, put those contents under the [win98] section. The [linux] section is left blank intentionally. 4.2 Step Two: Edit (or create) autoexec.bat on the root of Drive C. The contents should be similar to the following: goto %config% :linux call c:\linux.bat :win98 As above, if you aready have an autoexec.bat file, put those contents under the :win98 section. 4.3 Step Three: Create a file called: linux.bat. Putting it in the root of Drive C is as good as place as any (but it can go anywhere so long as you reference the path or location). The contents should be similar to the following: @echo off c:\loadlin c:\vmlinuz root=/dev/hda3 ro The above example assumes that loadlin.exe and vmlinuz are located in the root of Drive C (or C:\) and that linux is installed on the /dev/hda3 partition. Your configuration may be different. The important thing here is to make sure that loadlin and your linux kernel file are properly referenced. Finished! That should work for you, as that is how I have things set up on my system, which dual boots with Win98. Yup, thats where I am now =D. Though Compaq never did send me just a windows cd, I got a 3 cd compaq install, so anything normal window fixes hadn't worked. Found and XP bootdisk image on the web, and went from there.
