[newbie] Samba - Half there?
Running on Mdk 8.2, in a triple boot with W2K and Win98. If I am to progress at all I must be able to work while the rest of the family are on the LAN. That is, 1 W2K m/c and 2 Win98 m/cs. I need to share a FAT32 directory, identified in Linux as /mnt/win_d2/Public, and to make my m/c the gateway for ICS. I requested Samba and ICS when installing, so I'm fairly sure all necessary services will be installed. I have created users on my Linux partition, giving them the same name and password as they use on the Win m/cs. I have entered Samba passwords. Then, using Micky's PC for testing, I checked to see what was happening. I can see Anne_linux in Network Neighbourhood. Clicking on it shows me my 2 CUPS printer setups and a folder called Homes. Clicking on this asks for a password - and I can go no further. From my Linux screen I can see Micky/Public from Control Centre/Mount Points. 1) What did I do wrong? 2) How should I have entered Micky into the Samba Users Config. file?

I'm NOT having trouble installing KDE all by myself, or Gnome either, for that matter. I've installed 7.2 dozens of times and 8.1 four or five. The problem is the way Mandrake 8.1 tries to take over the desktop. With 7.2, in Gnome, I could drag and drop icons from the menus to the desktop, a very nice feature. With 8.1 I can't. When it loads I can see the blue background screen, then my wallpaper covers it, then another blue screen covers that, then my wallpaper again covers the whole mess, this time with the Mandrake icons rather than the ones I'm used to. And these icons can't be changed, at least not by the methods I'm used to, nor can I drag and drop from the menus. I'm assuming, perhaps erroneously, that the difference between this and the previous behavior is the Mandrake_Desk package, which didn't exist in 7.2. There are other aggravations, too, but I'll spare you. Ummm, remember what happens in 7.2 if you open some GNOME programs under KDE??? You watch GNOME icons invade your desktop! In 8.0 that was resolved, (almost) but opening Nautilus and calling for help from WM or KDE again caused the invasion (OK if you did not invoke help) Hmmm. Your experience is vaster than mine (and I don't use KDE that much). I wasn't aware of these interesting behaviors. But you can run without Mandrake Desk if you want, and you can use the local menu editors, too (just NEVER use the Mandrake one). The operative command is urpme mandrake_desk It will likely take the Mandrake icons with it, but if it does not, you can delete them and they won't come back. I might try that, just out of curiosity. If necessary, how do I restore it if I want to? I realize, of course, I could just delete the relevant files in my home directory and start over. Also, why do you say NEVER use the Mandrake menu editor? I *have* used it, although I haven't always been happy with the results. Thanks, Dale This may not be relevant but I will add my penny's worth of experience with LM installs and desktops. I have had LM's 7.0, 7.2, 8.1, and now 8.2 in the last couple of years ,nothing with 7.0 and 7.2,but with LM 8.1 + 8.2 I have never experienced anything quite as strange as previously described, but , I have to say that from time to time , perhaps 1 in 15 boot ups to desktop you arrive to find your customary tidy arrangement in Icons spread all over the desktop in one enormous chaotic jumble. You have to start again, and reboot. Sometimes you cannot move the icons back to order, every time you try to do so the icon in question merely flies back to whereever it wants to as soon as you let go of the hold . I then have to reboot , it usually clears that problem , but the icons have learnt a new chaotic jumble and then have to be reordered, and yet another reboot to fix things in place again. I have never experienced unknown icons appearing, though. John -- John Richard Smith [EMAIL PROTECTED] Want to buy your Pack or Services from MandrakeSoft? Go to http://www.mandrakestore.com
Re: [newbie] Samba - Half there?
It looks like you have missed out a few steps. The simplest way to configure Samba is to use 'Webmin' If it not already running install the webmin rpm and then in a browser url enter https://localhost:1 (note https !!) accept the certificate you are presented with and log on as username root. In webmin select ServersSambaWindows File sharingConvertUnix users to Samba users (at bottom of page) Select convert users then Edit users. Delete any user which got converted you did not want, and for any user you do want edit them and select 'new password' and give them the password Windows users must offer when trying to access a share. Go back to the page headed 'Samba Share Manager' if the shared folder you created before is listed then edit it, if not create a new shared folder. Select if the folder is browsable, and also set up any security you desire on that folder. (Might be a good idea to start with little security until you get it working) BTW: The special share called 'homes' will make the home directory of any user who logs into Samba shared. Go back to Global Configuration 'Windows Networking options' enter the correct windows workgroup name Now go back to 'Samba share Manager' and restart samba (botton of page) Your Samba shares should now be visible to windows machines, and the passwords should be accepted. To see the Windows computers in Linux I recommend komba2 It gives you a GUI very like 'Network Neughbourhood' in Windows.

Re: [newbie] A Qestion of Memory
John, You've done well so far, finding a bug that is apparently the same problem you are having. The next thing you must do is try to determine whether the 22 Apr 2002 report that the problem is fixed in CVS means that the fix: * should be in the version of KSpread that you have (meaning that the bug really is not fixed, and you should update the bug to tell the developer it is not fixed), or * should be in a version of KSpread that is already released but you don't have yet (meaning you should think about upgrading), or * should be in the next version to be released (meaning you need to wait for a new version to be released -- unless you want to try to compile your own upgraded version which I do not recommend -- just because I would find that painful to do). I don't follow KSpread well enough to know which is the case, but based on the 22 Apr 2002 fix date, I suspect we have to wait for the next version of kde/kspread to be released. If you do have to update the bug report, you can do so by emailing more information to [EMAIL PROTECTED] Include all the information that is relevant, save a sample file that demonstrates the problem, and offer to send it the developer on request (unless you have a web site or something similar where you can make it available for download).

Note the FCC number, and any part numbers that are on the Lucent or whatever chip. You can go to www.fcc.gov.oet/fccid/ and determine the manufacturer and model number. Your next stop should be www.idir.net/~gromitkc/winmodem.html. Part way down the page, click on the Download Entire Table link and run a search for the FCC number.

[newbie] OpenOffice Fonts
I recently installed OpenOffice from the OpenOffice.Org site. Overall I find it is very satifactory. However, one thing bugged me; the quality of the font display was terrible. Having also installed the Windows verison of OpenOffice on my desktop at work I knew the fonts could look better, so I decided to see what could be done to fix them on Mandrake 8.1. As it turns out, the steps to fix the font display are fairly simple if you have access to a windows installation. There are two parts to process. Part one fixes the font display of the OpenOffice program itself. Part two addresses the fonts udes in OpenOffice Documents. Part One. 1. Copy all the truetype fonts from the Fonts folder in the Windows folder to temporary folder on your Mandrake system. Only copy the files that have a ttf extension. I used a Samba connection to my Windows desktop to copy to the files over to my laptop. If you don't have network you could copy them to a floppy or burn them to a CD. 2. Login as root and run DrakFont. a. Click the ADD fonts button and locate the temporary folder you copied the TrueType fonts to. You should see a list of all the fonts in the FILES window. If you don't see the fonts check to make sure you have selected the correct directory. b. Click the OK button and another window will pop-up listing the fonts. c. Click the Install All button to install all the fonts. 3. Exit out of DrakFont. Part Two. 1. While still logged in as root. Open a terminal session and change to the OpenOffice installation folder. If you used the default location when you installed OpenOffice, it should be in /opt/openoffice1.0. 2. Run spadmin by typing ./spadmin and a printer administration window should appear. Don't forget to include the ./ in front of the file name. 3. Click the Fonts button then the ADD button. 4. In the Source directory box type in the path to same temporary directory where you copied the TrueType fonts to. Or you can use the browse button to browse to the directory. 5. Click the Select All button then the OK button to install the fonts. 6. When the process is complete you should see all the fonts in the window. Click the Close button to exit the font display window then click the close button on the Printer Administration window and you are done. That's it.

Linux drivers have been written for some Lucent chipsets, but others are not going to work. The best way to ID your modem is to open up the box and look at the modem. Note the FCC number, and any part numbers that are on the Lucent or whatever chip. You can go to www.fcc.gov.oet/fccid/ and determine the manufacturer and model number. Your next stop should be www.idir.net/~gromitkc/winmodem.html. Part way down the page, click on the Download Entire Table link and run a search for the FCC number. If that doesn't work, try searching for Lucent. You'll also find links to other information about Lucent-based modems on the first page.

Re: [newbie] Digest version of Newbie available
In general, Linux requires two partitions: one for / and one for swap. I've heard that if you have enough RAM you can do without a swap, but I don't know if that's true. Anyone ever done that? Further, most people install with 3 or more partitions. Mine right now has /, swap, /usr and /home all on their own partitions. PartitionMagic 7.0 is a wonderful thing. You can add, delete and resize partitions without losing data. It's incredibly slow and inefficient, though, (mine took 8.5 hours to repartition a 40 gig drive that was about 75% full) so beware.

I sent an e-mail that apparently hasn't reached the listserv yet that I was able to read it with my DVD drive. Strangely though - it turns out that the only files I saw as being on the CD when I read it from my CD-RW were the files located deep in the /mnt/cdrom2/Help/Manual/navart directory. Even stranger is that not even all those files showed up when I viewed the CD using my CD-RW. Very puzzling indeed. Nonetheless, I got it to install. Unfortunately, I can't get it to run now. I did everything exactly as I've done the last two times I installed it - made a shell script to kill the arts server before running quake3, etc etc etc - still it doesn't start up. It changes the resolution to the installation default 640x480 and then and then says received signal 11 - exiting. Now, The only time I got that signal 11 error was when I first tried to install and I ghad the sound server problem - but that's fixed since I'm using a script which kills the sound server first, so I don't know what's going on :-\ Anyone able to help?
