Anne I stand corrected, but the fact of the matter is that yellow is in segment forY yellow blue - - M magenta red _ _C cyan mauve _ _B blue red _ _G green green _ _ R red which means the red and the blue primary colours are cross wired somewhere, either in the driver in which case it is in all three ghostscript drivers, and across two ghostscript versions, or as seems more likely it's in the spooling control mechanism. Now kde have added to their programme, kde CC - system - printing manager - settings , besides their old tabs of general, HP-GL/2,and driver settings , two new tabs for :- Image : here a little picture is displayed and 4 colour settings brightness, 100 hue(colour rotation) 0 Saturation 100 Gamma1000 these are all the default there are also some contols for image position and image size I'm guessing, but my money is on this software being screwed. It's not really a new programme it's been around before and at one time was part of qtcups or kups, which are no longer completely available and I believe the intergration into kde in this programme has a glitch in it which has the effect of cross wired blue and red . That's my current theory. It seems like a sound one at the moment, but I don't entirely rule out driver error. Text here you set page margins and text format.

Re: [newbie] Sound with Quake 3
For me it is runing the sound in this way: a) I am using kde; so in the kde control center I put the arts to shudown automatically after 20 seconds without use; of course I put also in the services that there is not sound when I start a program; if not when you start Quake3 arts will be automatically enabled. b) just wait at least 20 seconds after the last arts-sound and quake 3 run fine, great sound.

Re: [newbie] Printer Problems M9.0 and Lexmark Z53
Joseph Braddock wrote: Okay, I tried my printing and guess what, it no longer prints correctly and I can duplicate your problems. This is strange as I have printed numerous photos since installing 9.0 (download). I do recall doing a Mandrake Update that did something with cups, gimp and ghostscript. I don't know if those affected it or not. I'm in the process of trying to figure it out and will let you know what I find. I am quite sure it is not a spool problem but probably a driver or cups problem. I'm in the process of downloading the drivers from Lexmark's site and will bypass the cups-gimp driver and see if that's it. Www.linuxprinting.org states that the z53 should work perfectly with the z52 driver, so I'll try that, too. If you find anything out, let me know and I'll do likewise. After it's resolved, maybe we can post it to the list. Joe Most certainly, I've tried replacing ghostscript with ghostscript-7.05-30mdk.i586.rpm the latest version. No improvement at all. I suspect either kde or cups both to my mind are involved in the spooling . Take a look at the kde-CC - system - printmanager - settings - image section, this is new in it's current position as part of kde, M8.2 did not have this programme here. The only doubt I'm having in regard to this theory is, if this is right, then why on earth isn't everone having this problem, so by that reasoning it points to the drivers itself and there is a new driver called Lexmark Z53(or Z52),Foomatic+gimp-print-ijs added to the existing 2 ghostscript drivers of CUPS+GIMP-print v4.2.2, and Foomatic+gimp-print, so obviously there have been changes with our drivers, no bad thing initself as there were a few glitches to my certain knowledge, but I believe what ever is causing the problem is due to a crossed wire in the colour management, in that all red sections of the picture are coming out blue , and all blue sections of the picture are coming out red, hense the wobbly image. I'm pretty certain of that now, just do yourself a test page and note the piechart colour wheel actual colours against the testpage demo on screen. They are all screwed up. The Z52 and Z53 are practically the same machine, there isn't much difference, I have both and they work on either set of drivers just as well normally. Now, in regards to the Lexmark's own driver , hitherto I have only got it going once. It works very well when it does and everything is there including lexmark printer maintenance, however just downloading the rpm driver and installing it and then going to MCC printer control center and choosing that driver does not make it work , there is additional configuration which I once got right and was something to do with symlinking the spooling together , lpq, lpq-cups, lpqr-foomatic, lpr-kprinter, lprm, lprm-cups, lprm-foomatic, and some more I cannot remember, I wish you luck as far as getting any sense out of Lexmark, they don't really know how it works either. I believe they merely paid someone in linux to write them a linux printer programme , and marketed it as such, but it does not install and work easily. Having tried the latest ghostsript drivers, I suppose my next experiment is to see whether a newer version of cups, but I'm loathed to mess with cups its such a complicated programme and takes oodles of detailed knowledge. For what it's worth I don't think we stand much chance of getting the linux stuff to work. All we can do is report things and hope that someone fixes it for us.

Re: [newbie] Supermount Toubleshooting Tips Info
Anne, and all: (Looking at the First suspect - me thread...it has traveled quite far and abroad compared to what it was first intended for. :-) So, I started a new one...) Since everything here is archived, I really like the idea that we organized what we have found to make it easier for searching. When someone needs to know, we point them to this subject line (if they are looking back in the archives) or use it as the basis for a search in their favorite flavor search engine. The archive, in the simplest of form, is a database. The list is the data and the filtering mechanism is the search engine provided by Mandrake on their site. The same is true, of course, with the use of a Web-wide search engine. Both of these methods work, but it would be nicer to see something more specific to this particular issue. If one of the listserv members was already Web capable, with a server that could be used to post findings through a fill-in form, we (and more importantly, Mandrake) could search specifically among records that are only on this issue. A nice dream, huh? Maybe not realistic, and probably a little too much work for the one making the server side happen. So, here's what I think we could do, instead. We post information on our system specs and experience with supermount here, in a formate that is consistent for maximum search results. Here's an example form, just to show the format I was thinking of: Subject: supermount Contact: Technoslick Email: [EMAIL PROTECTED] Machine: Workstation #3 System Specs Make: Clone Model: N/A CPU: AMD CPU Model: K6-2 CPU Rating: 500 MHz MBoard Mfg: EPoX MBoard Model: EP-58 MVP2C-M Chipset: VIA Apollo MVP3 AGP/PCIset Memory: 128 MB DIMMs x 2 SDRAM PC100 CPU Bus: 100 MHz Cache: 512 K Video: S3 Savage 2000 Video Memory: 64 MB Video Bus: AGP 2X Peripherals Installed Floppy: 1 x 1.44 MB CD-ROM_1: Liteon DVD LTD163 Connection: IDE (USB, Parallel Port, SCSI, etc.) Channel: 2nd (SCSI ID #) Position: Master CD-ROM_2: Phillips CD-RW PCRW404 Channel: 2nd Position: Slave Zip: No Other: (list LS-120s, and other devices that come under control of supermount) Findings: Generally, no problems, though I have found that backing out of the drive in Kongueror, ejecting CDs when possible, using refresh with floppies, works best. Sometimes, CDs hang and I cannot eject, but not that often. Etc., etc., depending on whether we want to track all devices that supermount affects or just CD-ROMs. In my opinion, if you are trying to give Mandrake the best possible poll of data, I would include normal floppy drives, LS-120s, Zips, USB devices that can be mounted and unmounted, etc. Now, the first thing that comes to mind is that this is a LOT of data to cough up and submit to the listserv. Those who don't know how to get all of this data, or are not capable of finding it all, would find it hard to complete a form fully enough to make it useful information. Most of us have only one or two machines. Most of this information can be gleaned off of Mandrake's HardDrake, or by other means at the console level. As a few post requests on how to find this information within their system, a few replies will provide permanent answer that can be searched for by newcomers to the list later on. The blank form can be copied from this post, or from whichever has the design we mostly agree upon. This strictly voluntary, and therefore should be respected as such. If there is enough of us who want to take the time to post a form, we should do so for Mandrake's sake, as well as out own. Those who think this is ludicrous, a waste of their time, etc,no problem, don't post one, but please respect those who did. I think the effort is worth it. By using a simple form, searches are prone not to miss all posts specifically on this topic. In a way, we all become unofficial beta test members, offering our findings in an organized manor for them to find a solution for those having problems. In time, as more members submit their equipment specs and findings, patterns will most definitely show themselves. Whether for Mandrake or ourselves, we create a mini-database within the listserv that helps, Mandrake, us and future newbies looking for answers as to why this doesn't work right for them. And, if it works well? We can use the same concept on other issues that seem to be inconsistently a concern for many. Here's the blank form from above. Those wishing to modify it for submission as the one that we should use can copy into their post. Feel free to add or delete as you all see fit, however, let's all keep in mind that we come from many cultures and walks of life. This is a very large committee, and as such, could drag out the creation of this form forever, if everyone has to be made happy. Let's get the labels down to where they at least make sense, and add only the information that helps Mandrake (and us) see the patterns.

It's ironic that Windows only recognises the built in IDE until the Promise drivers are installed and with Mandrake only the Promise Ultra is recognised! I booted to a Slackware CD and that recognises all the disks so it's something a bit odd in Mandrake I think? Want to buy your Pack or Services from MandrakeSoft? Go to http://www.mandrakestore.com

You have a system that is utilitizing both the primary and secondary IDE channels built into the motherboard, and they are using the standard IRQs 14 and 15, I/O addresses 1F0 and 170, respectfully.

There's so much talent coming here that I find it hard to believe we can't systematically find some direction in helping Mandrake resolve the idiosyncrasies, if not come up with the fix ourselves. Your comparison was perfect, to my mind. It's an intermittent problem that comes and goes, leaving some not believing the problem exists and others wanting to kick if for the trouble it has brought to them. I was thinking about what was said here by some, that supermount would either cause a busy cycle and lock up the device from changing media, or time-out and unmount when that was not what was desired. It would seem to me that the problem would be in the way the program decides when it should mount, how long it should stay mounted, and when it should unmount. It seems to make sense that the way the motherboard or BIOS handles things has an effect. I couldn't begin to explain intelligently what I mean. I just don't have that expertise, but I think Dark Lord's presumption stirs some thought. Too bad Mandrake's own software engineers don't frequent this place. I wonder sometimes if they have a clue at what we discuss here. If they do, they are lurking and not participatingunless one of you Brainiacs is really a Mandrake spy!

[newbie] Printer Problems , M9.0 and Lexmark Z53
I have lexmark printer working in M9.0 with the lexmarkz53-1.0-9.i386.rpm driver. The colour balance is a bit off, too blueish. I cannot see how to adjust that. I also have misalignment between the 3 primary colours almost certainly due to printhead adjustment being out. I keep trying to use lexmarks own head alignment programme but it does give me long enough to assess the printout before being timed out and returned to the beginning, so I never sucessfully complete it. A bit daft really. Anyway I quite sure now the 3 ghostscript drivers are plain flat broken. It's beyond me to fix. It's down to the driver craftsmen to fix.

Sorry, probably I have little idea about this but I had a similar problem and I would like to say something about: A) I ever thought that hard-drives should be connected in the way to be recognized before cdroms/dvd drives; have you tried to conect your harddrives to be hda and hdb? B) having two cdrom/cdrwriter conected in a computer, mandrake 8.2 wouldn't recognized any of them when I have attached in the second IDE as master the cdrom and as slave the cdwriter; just changing the cdrom to slave and the cdwriter to master, both were recognized and now are runing like a charm. Perhaps you can try those changes and use not only the cable selection, but the jumper on every drive to switch between slave and master.

Re: [newbie] Hard Disks not Recognised on Asus PB533-v Mainboard
I have a similar problem, but with a P4B533-E motherboard. At the beginning of boot, I receive an error about PCI resource collisions... oddly enough, my hard drive still runs at DMA just fine (at least, according to hdparm). Most of the research I have done on this problem shows that most people who receive this error just cannot get their hard drives to run DMA. My hard drive seems to run DMA fine (or, at least better than 3.0mb/sec)... but my CD-ROM drives do not work at all! I hadn't thought about switching them around as per this issue. My setup is: 1. Hard drive (60gig Maxtor, partitioned with WindowsXP and Mandrake 9.0) - on MBFastrack133 as master. 2. Toshiba DVD-ROM on IDE0, set as master 3. HP9100i CD-Writer on IDE1, set as master Perhaps I should check my jumpers.

Hello Marcia - The issue of winmodems is something I don't know much about. I think the Lucent chip modems are among the ones that can be persuaded to work, but someone who knows more than I do will advise you on that part. For the Mandrake setup, your situation is a little different from mine, where I have a connection over ethernet, then a modem, but this is what I suggest you do: Go to Mandrake Control Centre and let Mandrake detect your connections. It should detect your modem and offer to set it up. If it does, let it. It will make all the connection settings you need.

[newbie] OT: Hardware boot problems
Hi all, I know this is off topic, but perhaps a hardware guru has a tip for me. Usually my PC is on and running 24/7. This weekend I switched it off (friday) because I went to London. This evening (Sunday) I switched it on again. Somewhere in POST, it switched off and a led started blinking as if it had gone into sleep-mode or something like that. After a restart, boot went into Mandrake boot and during load of postfix it switched off again. This repeated about 12 times, each time in a different place. Also, at least 4 times, the CMOS CPU speed setting was wrong (900 instead of 1200 Mhz). Very worrying was when the PC switched off during fsck-ing a partition. (Of course, partitions get bashed when the system powers down during boot.) The last boot (clearly) worked, although it took over half an hour to check all partitions (some EXT2, some EXT3). Who has a clue what could trigger this weird hardware behaviour?

(It is a hassle shutting down and restarting artsd after booting to have system sounds, though.) Right now, I can do everything I need to do in Konsole with a virtual console, so I can get along while figuring this out and fixing it. When I try to open Konsole, I get a segfault and core dump from libc.so.6 Tracking down the problem, I've found that in /lib/i686/ and /lib/ libc.so.6 it is symlinked to libc-2.2.5.so but in /lib/lsb/ it is symlinked to libc-2.2.90.so Looks like good setup for a conflict...and if I try to list the contents of /lib/lsb/ from _inside_ the directory, I get a core dump...from _outside_ the directory, with a full path, I get the list. My first inclination is to change the symlink in /lib/lsb/ for lib.so.6 to point to the libc-2.2.5.so to match the other two and allow libc-2.2.90.so live there, too, in case something needs it. Before I start changing symlinks, does anyone have an educated guess if this is the correct change...or if there is something else I need to fix instead? Also--can changes be made while running kde, do I need to use a window manager other than kde or will I need to boot CD1/rescue to make the changes without the filesystem mounted?

Re: [newbie] mozilla 1 on Mandrake 8.1 dependency problem
Les, Thank you for your reply. Did you upgrade from 0.x to 1.x? I did rpm -ivh mozilla-'whatever version'.rpm libnspr-'whatever version'.rpm but got the same error message: mozilla 0.9.9 conflicts with libnspr4-1.1-10mdk As for default mozilla, what I mean is that galeon is based on mozilla. So I must let galeon know that a new mozilla is installed. If you install mozilla 1.x from source, the readme says it must be installed in a different directory. I am not sure if rpm does that for you. But unfortunately rpm doesn't work for me. So I have installed 1.10 from source and mozilla works by its own just all right. I didn't want 2 copies of mozilla, it was the installation instruction that said installing new mozilla into the same directory would cause problem. Now the new version works fine by itself. What I want to do now is to let Galeon(which is based on mozilla) know that a new version is installed and let Galeon use the new mozilla. I used the packages from the mozilla web site, not from any of the mandrake releases, but it was easily done by just installing the packages at the same time. # rpm -ivh mozilla-'whatever version'.rpm libnspr-'whatever version'.rpm what do you mean by the default mozilla? if you mean how to change the menus in gnome so it points to the new mozilla just go to panel - edit menus in the gnome menu. if you launch mozilla from a command line just create an alias for the correct path. sorry i don't remember what is the preffered file to create aliases in for bash (which i assume is your shell). why do you want to have both versions of mozilla installed anyways? On Sun, 24 Nov 2002, Wei Wang wrote: Maybe this question should be for mozilla mailing list. But could anyone using mozilla galeon give me a hand here?

What am I going to do now? Trying to solve this problem, I downloaded a mozilla 1.01 from mozilla website. Hoping that installing 1.01 would allow me to install libnspr4-1.1-10, then consequently I could upgrade to mozilla 1.10. But the README told me that I have to install it in a clean(new) directory. So I installed it in /usr/local/mozilla (my old 0.9.4 is in usr/lib/mozilla). Now how can I make the system recognize this new version as default mozilla? I mean after I installed mozilla 1.01 in a different directory, libnspr4.rpm still thinks I have mozilla 0.9.4. What should I do?

I checked the dependencies of the mandrake mozilla packages and saw that I could uninstall mozilla, libnspr, and perhaps a couple of other packages. I then did a fresh install of the rpms that I got from the mozilla.org site, which is why I used rpm -ivh. If you use the mandrake packages perhaps you should try upgrading using rpm -Uvh. I've never used galeon, so I can't help you with that. As for default mozilla, what I mean is that galeon is based on mozilla. So I must let galeon know that a new mozilla is installed. If you install mozilla 1.x from source, the readme says it must be installed in a different directory. I am not sure if rpm does that for you. But unfortunately rpm doesn't work for me. So I have installed 1.10 from source and mozilla works by its own just all right. I didn't want 2 copies of mozilla, it was the installation instruction that said installing new mozilla into the same directory would cause problem. Now the new version works fine by itself. What I want to do now is to let Galeon(which is based on mozilla) know that a new version is installed and let Galeon use the new mozilla. I used the packages from the mozilla web site, not from any of the mandrake releases, but it was easily done by just installing the packages at the same time. # rpm -ivh mozilla-'whatever version'.rpm libnspr-'whatever version'.rpm what do you mean by the default mozilla? if you mean how to change the menus in gnome so it points to the new mozilla just go to panel - edit menus in the gnome menu. if you launch mozilla from a command line just create an alias for the correct path. sorry i don't remember what is the preffered file to create aliases in for bash (which i assume is your shell). why do you want to have both versions of mozilla installed anyways?

What am I going to do now? Trying to solve this problem, I downloaded a mozilla 1.01 from mozilla website. Hoping that installing 1.01 would allow me to install libnspr4-1.1-10, then consequently I could upgrade to mozilla 1.10. But the README told me that I have to install it in a clean(new) directory. So I installed it in /usr/local/mozilla (my old 0.9.4 is in usr/lib/mozilla). Now how can I make the system recognize this new version as default mozilla?

While I am running alsa with OSS emulation and that allows aRts to work, even with aRts turned off manually, Q3 doesn't produce sound. This is a professional multi-channel audio card, so I think that the app needs a little more sophistication to drive it. aRts obviously can, but Q3 can't work with aRts. Q3 can't talk to the card directly either.

Re: [newbie] Problem installing a program
made the change, ran ldconfig Konsole no longer segfaulted...but it also wouldn't open. I meant to log out and log back in, but accidently rebooted...Xwindows started to load, stopped, runlevel changed (3, I think) and booted to CLI. I 'undid' the ld.so.config change, ran ldconfig, rebooted and Xwindows loaded as usual and of course Konsole segfaults again. Began checking through the core dump files, found ~15 files listed ... still checking, but appears that each is symlinked differently in the /lib/lsb/ directory than in other /lib/ directories. Now I'm looking for the offending program...one core file was a good piece of an rpm -- possibly a rebuild, but most likely a mucked up install. Thanks for your reply.

Right now, I can do everything I need to do in Konsole with a virtual console, so I can get along while figuring this out and fixing it. When I try to open Konsole, I get a segfault and core dump from libc.so.6 Tracking down the problem, I've found that in /lib/i686/ and /lib/ libc.so.6 it is symlinked to libc-2.2.5.so but in /lib/lsb/ it is symlinked to libc-2.2.90.so Looks like good setup for a conflict...and if I try to list the contents of /lib/lsb/ from _inside_ the directory, I get a core dump...from _outside_ the directory, with a full path, I get the list. My first inclination is to change the symlink in /lib/lsb/ for lib.so.6 to point to the libc-2.2.5.so to match the other two and allow libc-2.2.90.so live there, too, in case something needs it. Before I start changing symlinks, does anyone have an educated guess if this is the correct change...or if there is something else I need to fix instead?

Hence, I think, your confusion. What you probably need is libglib and libglib-devel. Also when installing libraries with devel components, place both the main and the devel- component on the command line at the same time. That way, you eliminate catch-22 dependencies. error: failed dependencies: initscripts = 6.40.2-6mdk conflicts with glibc-2.2.5-16mdk glibc = 2.2.4 is needed by locales-2.3.1.2-4mdk You probably took the wrong turn.

(Does this exist and what is it?) 4. Other suggestion...? -- Michael Why not try using hdparm to change/modify the buffering on the device? Make sure it's using DMA and it's using the proper PIO/XFer modes... (i.e. hdparm -X70 -d1 -p4 /dev/hdb ) ??? Give that a go before getting purchase-crazy... PS: I don't think a sticker's going to make that much difference - but if you want to peel'em off, well, they're YOUR cd's! -- Mon Nov 25 17:05:01 EST 2002 .o0 linux user:267497 0o. |____ | kühn media australia | / \ /| |'-. | http://kma.0catch.com | .\__/ || | | | | _ / `._ \|_|_.-' | stephen kühn | | / \__.`=._) (_ | email: [EMAIL PROTECTED] | |/ ._/ || | email: [EMAIL PROTECTED] | |'. `\ | | |icq: 5483808 | ;/ / | | | | smk ) /_/| |.---.| | mobile: 0410-728-389 | ' `-`' | Berkeley, New South Wales, AU Coralament*Best Grötens*Liebe Grüße*Best Regards*Elkorajn Salutojn I didn't get sophisticated -- I just got tired.

Re: [newbie] mozilla 1 on Mandrake 8.1 dependency problem
Dear WeiWang You need to download not only mozilla-1.1-10mdk but also mozilla-nspr-1.1-10mdk and maybe mozilla-nss-1.1-10mdk First you have to remove all of previous mozilla instalation by the command : rpm -e mozilla mozilla-nspr mozilla-nss mozilla-psm and then install the downloaded package and its dependencies from Mandrake Cooker (mozilla, mozilla-nspr, mozilla-nss and mozilla-psm) You need to download mozilla-psm package too if you have account on Yahoo Mail or Hotmail.

Re: [newbie] sylpheed installation on Mandrake 8.1
hello Wang Wei, if you're new to linux, if you're using Mandrake, it may be better to stick to using Mandrake specific rpms for installing software, instead of compiling from scratch. better still if you can find rpms specific for your version of Mandrake. you can find Mandrake 9.0 sylpheed rpms at http://gcutter.free/fr/logiciels/en.html On Sun, 24 Nov 2002 17:41:44 + Wei Wang [EMAIL PROTECTED] wrote: Sorry for the previous mail without title I am trying to install sylpheed 0.7.6 on Mandrake 8.1.
