That sounds like either a motherboard problem decoding the key signals or a splash of soft drink on the keyboard. Either one is a factory return item. The other possibility is that a virus wrote itself into the BIOS, but the chances of this on a laptop are remote indeed as many do not even have a falsh capability for the BIOS, and those that do are not particularly standard in how it is implemented.

It also may be that you installed a Ximian GNOME package which usually lags about six months in actually supporting mandrake so they break our menus until that point. BTW, most of the functionality, but not the look & feel, of Ximian is already in the Mandrake rpms. Or you have managed to catch the menu editor halfway through a save which can always have interesting results--we do have a "ShowBusyCursor" lockout because people used to quit it whioe it was still saving and I have not seen what you describe since Vincent locked out the early quitting. Anyway, anytime something is done to the local menus, there is a hidden file called .menu-updates.stamp created and also there is the ~/.menu folder which concerns the actual menus. There are additional items down in /etc but those need not concern you--those are regeneration methods, mostly , these days. so $ rm ~/.menu- (tab for completion) $ rm -r ~/.menu -f $ su Password: (your root password # update-menus -v (Watch out there is a cosmetic bug here that it needs a return pressed to show a prompt after it is done) # exit $ logout (or better ctrl-alt-backspace) login from the login manager You should have functional menus If you installed GNOME from a non-mandrake source, you will not have the GNOME menus that came with the install. That is because we take the trouble to make the menus pretty much the same across desktops (and the Linux Standards Base has not addressed that issue for standardization yet, just Debian and Mandrake do that.)

This is all very helpful information and I'm starting to get a better understanding of how these menus work. But I still can't solve this one. Although the original poster indicated he had removed KDE, I'm not sure if that's the problem. At least in my case, I never removed KDE. Also, it's not just the KDE-related menus that are gone. All menus are gone. And they are gone from all window managers. I basically have from "Run Command" and down still there but everything above is gone. The original poster stated "Everything has been lost from my menus except the freshly installed Gnome apps." which sounds to me to be the same problem. When I go "Original menu" style, I do get all those menus, but they do not relate to the apps I have installed. I can get the "What to do ?" menus to show, but not the "All applications". And they are the ones that really fit best with what I actually have installed. They *do* appear in menudrake. According to menudrake, everything looks perfect.

Re: [newbie] Can't block dos attack
Try the script below, which should take care of the problem. Of course,
this isn't a dos attack, it's a virus attack (one of the viruses going
around attempting to infect an iis server).
Which kernel are you using? If it's 2.4.x, iptables is the way to block
things out. (in that case let me know, and I'll adapt this to deal with
iptables).

[newbie] interfaces not coming up
Hello Mandrake gods, Here the problem. I am attempting to install Mandrake 8.2 on an HP Kayak XM600. Everything works fine except for one crucial piece. I am unable to get the interfaces to come up (eth0 and eth1). eth0 is an 3Com 3C905C TX and eth1 is a Linksys LNE100 TX. I have used both of these cards in other systems so I know they work. I have installed Mandrake 7.1 on other systems with these same models of cards and never had a problem. The cards are detected correctly and I set them to use DHCP. The only log entries that I have found that pertain to the problem simply say that eth0, and/or eth1, failed to receive a valid response from a dhcp server. However, I can plug another system into the same interface I am using on my router for the system I am having problems with and I can get a dhcp address no problem. I am at wits end with this system. I have tried Mandrake 7.1 and 8.2. All to no avail. I cannot figure out what I am doing wrong. Also, I have set dhcpcd to run at boot. /pulling hair out now Any ideas/suggestions greatly appreciated.

[newbie] Need Help configuring Mozilla/*.pdf
I have a site that I must get *.pdf forms from, but xpdf persists in cutting off one side so that I cannot print the form correctly. I discovered that the Linux version of Acrobat does not do this, but Mozilla persists in opening all *.pdf files with xpdf, even though I have set acroread to open that file extension. Can someone tell me what I need to do to change the helper application to Acrobat from xpdf? Or, as an alternative, what do I need to do to correctly show and print forms with xpdf? I didn't have any trouble at all getting Opera to use acroread, but I can't figure out how to get Mozilla to do it. thanks in advance, e. Want to buy your Pack or Services from MandrakeSoft?

In those files is a needs clause. If it needs kde then it disappears when kde is removed. Those files are written directly into the mdk rpm spec files and are cleaned when things are removed. If you remove KDE surely you did not expect anything depending on KDE to stick around. Konqueror does have an embedded version, true, but that version is not included with the distro. Now menu files can be in the system menu or in the user menu (which are specific to each user) and they can appear for a specific desktop 'Needs kde' 'needs gnome' 'needs blackbox' are sometimes clauses There is considerable room for expansion in the menu structure. The "what to do?" is an example. It is also easily possible to add another clause to each menu item which defines a level so that a user could rate his own level and if for example choosing newbie, see only the simplest of apps. This is easily done. What you will notice about our menus is that, to the extent possible, they stay the same across desktops. KDE and GNOME-specific items that just need the widget set for each of those do propagate across desktops, and are on some of them submenued as "KDE apps" or "GNOME Apps". In other words the system did what it was told which wasn't what you expected. Civileme Want to buy your Pack or Services from MandrakeSoft? Go to http://www.mandrakestore.com

> I am trying to get my venerable Star Gemini-10X working under LM 8.1 and > CUPS but cannot find an appropriate driver. The Gemini-10X is a 9 pin You have one of those too ;). I got mine early on in 1984 (back then I was using a TRS890). The printer doesn't work anymore, but IIRC, it's pretty close to 9 pin Epsons of the era. The epson 'emulation' (basically it's an MX-80 clone) is very close to Epson, but there are subtle differences when using graphics -- specifically the dot widths are spaced differently with Epson as compared to the 10X. This led me to briefly contribute printer definition files when I was working at Symantec back in 1986. The printer expired long before I was introduced to Linux, but I think yuo will have some cussess witht he Epson 9 pin drivers: specifically 'eps9high' in GhostScript. I recommend starting small, perhaps try printing test pages with Ghostscript using that driver. If it works correctly, you might try CUPS with the appropriate printer driver. You may get discernable vertical spaces in the output using the Epson 9 pin drivers though - that's the effect of the spacing differences in the Gemini 10X. > Warren Want to buy your Pack or Services from MandrakeSoft?

I have a very similar (perhaps the same) problem. It first started after I installed WINE from source. If I choose menu style "All applications" in MenuDrake, I get nothing in the K menu even though all menus are present in MenuDrake. If I choose "What to do?" menu style, then those ones are there. But checking on "Add link to All applications menu" doesn't add any such link. It seems the applications menu is somehow messed up. Finally, if I choose "Original menu", then I *do* get the original menus. Unfortunately, these are unrelated to which apps I have installed.

Immediately after the install, I copied the 8.2 /home backup into 9.0, which instantly broke the whole system. I sort'a knew it would ;) KDE wouldn't even start. Re-installed 9.0, and the first thing I did was copy in from backup, my /Mail dir. Then Kmail had all my saved, old to current emails and folders. In trying to copy in 8.2 kmailrc files (I saved the existing 9.0 rc files first), kmail broke. So I reinstated the 9.0 kmail rc files, and reconfigured the newer kmail version. It took a few minutes, not "many hours". I had a similar experience with KNode, several others. All in all, copying in what I could from my /home backup, and reconfiguring everything I normally use, including installing a few apps that don't come with Mandrake took little more than an hour, maybe two at most. Granted I've had to do all this many times in the past with Mandrake version upgrades, so I pretty well know in advance, what will/won't work, what can be saved/what shouldn't be. A lot of this knowledge comes from lurking on the cooker mailing list. Since June, I've kept 9.0 current using 'urpmi --auto-select' on cooker mirrors. Occaisionally, some package upgrades will overrite a old config file. Sometimes configuration is moved, and the old config is obsolete (eg, ~/X11/fs/config for Gnome2 apps). The developers try'n hold this to a bare minimum, but sometimes it's neccessary. Which is just part of why a saved 8.2 /home won't work with 9.0. Other major reasons are the vast changes in libraries and gcc. So for example, stuff like flash, (Sun) java, and other 3rd party closed source stuff is mostly worthless. At least until they get around to upgrading their apps to the new gcc/libs. The vendors will have to, Mandrake can't do it without their source, or for legal reasons. Many cookers have reported some success with getting nvidia's src.rpms and other 3rd party stuff to rebuild on 9.0 using IGNORE_GCC_MISMATCH=1 on src.rpms. I haven't bothered. In the past week, cooker has moved from gcc 3.1.1 to 3.2, requiring that most all packages in 9.0 be completely rebuilt. Practically the whole distro. I can't upgrade with just a dialup, so I'm stuck with roughly 9.0b1 till I get 9.0beta2 CD's. When they come out, I already know a complete wipe and fresh install will be wise, if not just plain neccessary. So, much less 8.2 isn't compatible with 9.0, 9.0b1 isn't even compatible with 9.0b2. While an upgrade might be possible, it _would_ probly take "many hours" and lot'sa fixin. Easier an simpler just to wipe, re-install, and do a little reconfiguring, save from backup whatever's possible, re-do what isn't. I never could figure out any worthwhile purpose for desktop icons other than to clutter things up, any OS. The menu works just find for starting stuff, sometimes better. First thing always I do after a fresh install is to delete all /Desktop icons except for Trash, which I move so that the icon no longer appears.

[newbie] LAN problems
Hi, having some probs with my network... I have one laptop running ME and 6 mandrake machines running samba. The laptop has no problem read/writing files from any location to anywhere else. It also has icons on it's desktop to double-click to open a share. Also these shares are mapped as different drives. ie: linux1/home -> F:\ linux2/home -> G:\ etc... What I was trying to do was set up the RC5 clients on the linux2-linux6 machines to use a shared buffer on linux1 machine, and that's when the prob hit me... How do I specify on a command line on, say linux2 box, the full path to a directory on the linux1 box? regards magnet Registered Linux user 281659 Registered machines: 163839 - Mdk 8.2 163840 - Mdk 8.2 163841 - Mdk 8.2 163842 - Mdk 8.2 163843 - Mdk 8.2 163844 - Mdk 8.0 Home network: 6 x AMD Athlon 1.2 GHz all running Mandrake.

Re: [newbie] grep search
Hi,
You may use the find command. find allows you to go through a directory
tree and perform some tests and actions on it. For example, in your case
you want something like
find / -path /mnt -prune -o -type f -exec grep "my exp" {} \;
Here, the / means start in /, the '-path /mnt -prune' means if the path
is of the form /mnt, don't go into it, the '-o' is a logical or, '-type f'
means only regular files, and the -exec says what command to execute
(the '{}' is replaced by the file name). find has many other option, all
of which you can read about in man find. Note in particular the -mount
option, which might be a simpler way to do what you want

I wrote a shell script which copies various files to a directory, then .tar.bz2.gpg's it, then copies it to a remote server. This does an excellent job without effort. The system configuration (services, security, configuration files) is fine and worth doing, but package configuration is another matter. The problem with Linux is choice: you can't assume people will use certain packages.

Re: [newbie] ip forwarding(?) with iptables......
There are some things on the market to help with IPTables: Mason: http://dhp.com/~whisper/mason/ or Fbuilder Plus http://www.icewalkers.com/softlib/app/app_01535.html Anybody ever used these and know if they are any good?

[newbie] Alpha port.
Hi I have an Alpha server that I am having to run RedHat on. But I prefer Mandrake and there was talk of there being a port developed for these machines. Anybody on here know whether its likely to ever happen or whether its been canned or what? J -- Sent using Kmail.

[newbie] Hows this for an idea for Mandrake.
Hi guys, We know that its always better to install rather then upgrade, But I get really sick of reinstalling endlessly to get the latest stuff.. and I was thinking about that. Wouldn't it be a fantastic thing if Mandrake created an "Export system & user Settings" drake tool.??? and a drake import settings. this tool would go and collect settings from running services, users and security, and you could save the config to a floppy, wipe the drive, reinstall and insert the floppy and run the import drake, which sets it all up for you again.. (that way you get to have the latest config files, rather then keeping files like smb.conf and putting it in the next version..) what do you guys thing? is that a good idea or what? rgds Frank Want to buy your Pack or Services from MandrakeSoft?

If Mandrake does not recognise the specific model, then just accept a 'Generic monitor' and put those parameters in the "Monitor" section of your /etc/X11/XF86Config-4 file.

The 'stuff' that's moved from old to new is just .rc files and similar (kmailrc and so on); there's many hours of configuration in those. Certainly not any of the desktop icon themes, for example!
