Great news, Laryry.  I'd guess it was the cups update - I seem to remember 
seeing somewhere that it supported many more printers.  Anyway, thanks for 
all the info - I'm sure it will help someone else later - and ignore my last 
post with all the questions: they're no longer relevant.

I've forgotten whether you are trying to use local windows drivers or samba to 
your machine's drivers?  The gs+dj500 would be only if it's using your local 
drivers, I would have thought.

Sorry to ask so many questions, but I'm a little confused now.  BTW - I 
presume you did check those lines in smb.conf that specify whether you're 
using win drivers of samba drivers?

This bit is one part of the problem (apart from the no-disk-in-the-drive).  
Check /etc for one of the files mentioned above, and delete it if you find 
one (or both).  They are temp files left behind when something goes wrong.

Thing is, Chuck, that fsck seemed to get itself into a twist and couldn't fix 
it, whereas the rescue route didn't seem to run fsck, yet did fix it.  It's 
all very puzzling.

Chuck - wouldn't it be sensible to switch off the firewall altogether until we 
are sure that she has a connection set up?  Then you or someone else 
knowledgeable could help her get the firewall right, knowing that there 
wasn't two problems?  As far as I know she hasn't actually managed a 
connection yet.

Hi Steve, there is a file in /etc/urpmi called, "inst.list". This file contains a list 
of packages that need to be installed rather than upgraded.
In my 9.0 system, this list contains kernel specific packages.

I assume you can add others here that you want installed rather than upgraded too.

HTH. Regards.

Hi Rob, I'm so glad you asked this questionI've been trying to do the same 
thing on my 9.0 system, with the same result. It's back again after each reboot. I 
don't have a solution unfortunately.
I actually wanted to just rename the thing, and did, calling it "CD_Floppy". Nice 
short name ;-).
When I next rebooted though, there was "Removeable media", back again, along with my 
newly renamed "CD_Floppy"!

This thing doesn't want to go away. I eagerly await an answer too.

Best regards.

in one of the apache conf files  (in /etc/httpd/conf) there is a section

Mandrake 9.0 takes up about 1.3 Gb on my system including KDE, Gnome

I don't know what size Windows 2000 is on you system, but you should

[newbie] OT (kinda) CD based distros

[Jerry Barton]

Just had a bit of a foray into cd based distros - tried out knoppix, virtuallinux, and 
BBC ( bootable business card ).  All very cool.
BBC is a great recovery tool which still manages to pack quite a punch for 40 MB.
I was impressed with knoppix and i'm in no way putting it down but I really liked 
Virtual Linux 1.1 
http://www.virtual-linux.org/nuke/index.php
since it's very FAMILIAR looking!  (based on mandrake 8.1)
Anyone else tried this one out?  I chanced across it on distrowatch's new cd-based 
distribution section and now I can take Mandrake with me wherever I go!
It set up all my hardware (by running setuptool) though not all automatically (the x 
setup for example didn't work off the bat-had to change monitor/card).
It detected my tv card (xawtv is included), comes with koffice, gnumeric, abiword and 
other office tools, the GIMP and other graphics tools, lots of multimedia tools, web 
and network programs, and much more.  Great way to show off GNU/Linux, and Mandrake in 
particular for those of us showing others alternatives.

I'm gonna use it to help my best friend convince her fiance to go with Mandrake and 
not windows (or at least try it first) when they get their computer.  She's learned a 
lot over at my place while her fiance's off in Kuwait and doesn't want windows 
"corrupting the new machine" (her words).

Re: [newbie] problem - file/directory permissions using samba AND nfs SOLVED

[Steve Jeppesen]

Please, anybody reply if they know of problems that could arise out of
this "fixed" premission problems.

What I ended up doing, is to set create mask and directory mode to 0777
(even with public = yes) for the samba side and for NFS, I (big gulp
here) ran the command umask 000 from my p.c. - what that does is
basically anything I create from or on my mandrake box is to set the
mask at 0777.

Anybody have any advise against doing something like that?  If nobody 
can state a good reason not to do this, I will have to set this up in my
.profile from what I have read on the web.  I have not even begun to
look for that .profile file at the moment however.

Any advise (bad or good) is very welcome!

Actually, ed, and Femme, if you run fsck itself, it usually automatically
determines the filesystem type, and then runs the appropriate file system
checker, when then checks the filesystem, and repairs it.. The only time I
have had it work incorrectly, was when the filesystem was pretty much beyond
repair anyway..

Actually, ed, and Femme, if you run fsck itself, it usually automatically 
determines the filesystem type, and then runs the appropriate file system 
checker, when then checks the filesystem, and repairs it.. The only time I 
have had it work incorrectly, was when the filesystem was pretty much beyond 
repair anyway..

Hi Margot!  I haven't followed this whole thread but if I may say, your ISP

the firewall to DROP Packets on those ports.  And if you use an FTP Client 
force it to use PASV (Passive) mode.  If I understand the ftp thingy 
correctly, that forces it to let the other FTP Site control your clients 
connection.  Plus it makes your client harder to trace when its active b/c 
it shows no outbound packets.  Course I could be totally wrong, and if I

There are MS user groups here in Turkey.  Like Indonesia, most people 
here buy Windows and Windows programs on the street for about $3.

There are rumours that the government may try to root out software 
piracy, which would be good for Open Source.  One of my friends (who 
runs a small hardware company) is about to install OpenOffice because 
his pirated MS Office is getting too risky to have on his computers.

Has the Linux security bubble burst?

http://www.informationweek.com/story/IWK20030124S0013/1


I thought that was a pretty sensible and balanced article.  One thing I 
did take issue with,though, was this:

"Consider just two cases in point: The Open Source Mozilla project ran 
three years late in development, and that was just a browser, not an 
entire operating system. Linux itself took about 7 years before it was 
even remotely ready for prime time. In the face of software gestations 
this lengthy, I think it's hard to argue that open source's supposed 
"fast fixes" actually mean much in real world benefits. "

Actually, Open Source gestation is generally pretty quick (especially if 
someone says "security flaw", which has every coder in the room putting 
on a big pot of coffee so they can stay up and fix it).  It is true that 
Linux took a long time to evolve into an OS that ordinary users could 
use - what do you expect from an OS whose founder initially described as 
"just a hobby - nothing big and professional like GNU."

Mozilla is a special case.  It was set up by Netscape, who didn't have 
piles of money to throw at software developers, and suffered from a lot 
of infighting in its early days. In some ways, Mozilla was one of many 
reasons Netscape losty the browser wars - Netscape 5 was ditched, it was 
years before a new version came out, and when it did, in the form of 
Netscape 6.0, it was appalling - slow, buggy, you name it (although the 
version of Mozilla shipping at the same time was pretty decent).  Now we 
have a version of Netscape based on (I think) Mozilla 1.1, and it beats 
the hell out of IE, but it's too late.

But as I said, the Mozilla project was a special case.  People often 
forget that "Open Source" doesn't just mean Linux or FreeBSD.  It 
includes such basic programs as Apache and Sendmail, without which the 
web would not exist.  They don't have a fast development cycle ,in terms 
of new versions, because there is rarely any point - if it ain't broken, 
don't fix it.  but if a security vulnerability turns up, it's fixed 
before you can say "Slammer".

It might be a good idea to review what modules are

That way, if you've got something exotic, you've got a

Not saying that LM won't autodetect everything.  But the

Dell Denmark  will deliver an Optiplex with only a

Something you could try is to delete all the .kde* files from your
~/home/yournamehere/ directory as well as and files in the /tmp that
have DCOP or .KDE-YOURNAME in them - then after that, try starting KDE
again...

It could be several things - path statements, lib path statements or
environmental variables that cause KDE to "lag" when starting up...try
the above resolution and see if that fixes ya.

[newbie] Kmail 1.5 (kde 3.1): mailing lists not working

[Joan Tur]

-BEGIN PGP SIGNED MESSAGE-
Hash: SHA1

Hallo!

After having upgraded to 3.1 (I've been using RCs) I see that when creating a 
new mail message from a folder with the "contains a mailing list" property 
set to on (and having specified the proper mail address) the empty new 
message hasn't got the destination address already written down.

That has happened with all RCs (it was working fine under Kde 3.0.x).

TIA

Re: [newbie] Very slow loading KDE and gnome

[et]

the problem was not a matter of playing QT. I had observed that after a failed 
attempt to install QT via crossover demo, I had observed a symptom simaliar 
to what the complaint was , which was, long (1.10 min) delay in startup 
between kde login and kde being up and running. it seemed to me that after 
that attempt it took much longer to start kde than it had before. we have had 
some discussion about removing a line that gets KDE to scan for netscrape 
pluggins as default each boot.

 mplayer plays all QT files  ... better than Apple's player does, and 
certainly better than using Xover to play the M$ version of Apple's

from  http://www.mplayerhq.hu/homepage/dload.html   Get the codecs

Have checked with eurobell - they say they do not use chap or pap but pta

Title: RE: [newbie] Internet Connection Problem (long, sorry!)



 
Dennis,
Sorry for delay in replying - not been well. Thanks 
for your suggestion, but this was one of the first things I tried as I read it 
in another thread.
I thought it might work because I installed Zone 
Alarm on the W98 machine a while ago and then had to uninstall it again when it 
prevented all internet access - similar problem to the one I have now - eurobell 
said their service was "not compatible" with Zone Alarm!
Sadly, switching off the firewall didn't help 
this time - do you think I need to uninstall it completely as I had to do with 
Zone Alarm?

Try opening MCC and then security and turn off the firewall 
by clicking on the square that says everything, no firewall, then apply and 
then try your internet connection again. If that solves the problem you 
should be able to turn the firewall on again and still get a connection.

I've gone into the KDE Control Module - File Associations Configuration

How does it play the file? With an embedded applet, or in a separate
app? Check in the File Associations that there's "open file in new window"
selected. And also, i've found KDE tends to forget when you tell it 
to use an app that is not on the kmenu. Select xmms from the

I was already using a cordless USB so all I had to do was shut down,
hook-up the 700 and it worked.
If you are moving from a PS/2 you will probably need to run mousedrak.

I ordered mine from Amazon just after Xmas.
It was $66 and they were offering a $20 if it was purchased before 12/31

After hijacking this (i think) thread the other day with my own "print from

discovered in the last day seems (in my case anyway) the problem has to 
do with the fact that the drivers from the windows side are not Postscript. 
and the cups are expecting Postscript. I found after chasing some of the 
links Anne posted that the problem for me was cured by 

"use client driver = yes the Global section 

and also added guest ok =yes to the printers section, 

and finally changed the print command to: 
print command = lpr -P %p -o raw %s -r "
 
this allows the windows drivers to be used and does not expect postscript if 
it is not a postscript kinda printer

RE: [newbie] Creating & Installing SSL key for HTTPD

[Franki]

if you encrypted the domain server key when you created it..

then you have to enter the passphrase when you see "starting httpd" at
boot..

or you can write a shell script to enter it for you and add it to ssl.conf
but that kind of ruins the point of encrypting it in the first place if you
leave a
file containing the password on the system.

*shudder*... quicktime. something about that format I don't like. Yeap. looks 
like I'll have to suffer the massive file sizes for now and play around with 
the various settings and options later. Good job this LAN has 6 hhd's to 
store to.  8-)

When I viewed the test file I made I noticed it hadn't set any key frames so 
skipping through it back and forth wasn't very fast or easy. Not an option 
from the command line for such a feature? It's not a great problem coz should 
I wish to keep anything I can always set key-frame rate after editing the 
[oh-so-annoying] adverts out and then recode to say, DivX format.

Cheers for the help Jerry, Very clear and concise.

RE: [newbie] Anyone using a Soltek mobo?

Anne,

When I get home I will tell you the name, but I dual boot w2k and mdk 9
(used to be 8.2,8.0 and a 7) and at the moment it is up nearly 24/7 I
occasionally reboot into windows to play a few games that winex does not
work with.

You can change the format that streamer records with 
from man streamer:

EXAMPLES
   streamer -o foobar.jpeg
  write a single jpeg file.

   streamer -o quicktime.mov -f yuv2 -F stereo -r 12 -t 120
  record a short quicktime movie (120 frames / 12 fps =>  10  sec-
  onds).

streamer --help

Thanks, Derek. - Now, when I run dmesg anew, it seems that

[newbie] Atmel based USB Wireless adapters

[Derek Jennings]

If anyone is interested in Wireless USB adapters such as the Linksys or Belkin 
models. There is now a short writeup on them with Mandrake 9.0 on my home 
page.

Installing an Atmel based wireless device involves editing and recompiling the 
kernel,so it may not be the sort of thing inexperienced people want to do.

Actually, yes.  But it was the full install, not a demo.  And Quicktime

[newbie] Sharing printers via SAMBA

[Jamie . Kerwick]

I have a problem accessing my SAMBA shared printers on a Windows machine. I
get 'Access Denied - Unable to connect'.

The weird thing is I have a couple of public shares, which to me seem to
have the same access settings as the 3 printers, and they work fine.

The printers print OK on the Linux Box

I have atteched my smb.conf file, it's a pretty hacked together job, that I
did months ago and don't remember what most of the settings do :(

Can anyone point me in the right direction, 

Thanks,

Jamie

Well done Jerry, I typed in exactly what you stated and it started to capture 
the TV program to the harddrive. Playback was a bit weird coloured in places, 
but that is an MPlayer problem here, as I tested video on the windblows 
laptop and it was fine to view/listen to.

Thanks Jacobite.  75KAV and 75DRV5-C are on the list offered by my vendor, so 
that's hopeful.  The system has to be a dual-boot, so I wanted to be sure.

If you edit the file /usr/bin/startkde around line 104, comment some lines out 
like this :-


# Laurent kde2.2-30mdk scan-nsplugins
#if [ -x /usr/bin/nspluginscan ]; then
#   /usr/bin/nspluginscan
#fi

Now next time you startkde it will not waste time searching for new 
netscape/konqueror plugins. This saves about 15 seconds on my system.
The downside is. When you *do* install a new plugin. You have to press the 
'Scan for new plugins' button in KDE control Centre before it can be used.

Get a faster processor and more RAM. Or use Blackbox, Fluxbox, Xfce . .

Like what? Just curious because I use Fluxbox but use some KDE and Gnome apps

Well, try this

Put in CD1 and reboot

Select Upgrade

add the connection sharing packages  (Networking Computer Server and client)  
--that's a little overkill but should do what you need.

Or figure out which packages you need to load and select just those in 
individual package selection.

Offhand I would suspect a packaging error on the beta or a media-vs-drive 
problem with one of the packages...  If you get an error report during 
upgrade, then it iss the latter and you have a bad burn in terms of 
compatibility with your system.

Well Fred, mine (KDE and Gnome) takes about the same time 
to load. I don't know if there is a logfile, but when I 
look at the file *.xsession-errors*  it reports scores of 
errors. Had the same problem with 8.2

Those errors don't seem to affect anything, though.

That's why I mostly use fluxbox.

[newbie] Very slow loading KDE and gnome

[Fred Fraley]

When I start KDE, from the graphic login screen, it takes 1:10-1:15 before I 
get to the KDE splash screen, then another 1:00 on just the loading 
peripherals section.  Everything else seems to load fairly quickly.  Gnome is 
about as slow, but I haven't timed it.  IceWM and WindowMaker load in just a

Is there any way I can generate a log file showing each item loaded with the 
time so I can see where the delay is?  Anyone with another suggestion?  I use 
IceWM most of the time, but some things just seem to work better on KDE or 
gnome.

[newbie] modem Olitec 56k V90 PCI + Mandrake9.0

[[EMAIL PROTECTED]]

Hi there
I have some troubles with the installation of my modem.
I have download the right driver (I think!). I start the installation, and it seems to 
be OK.
Then, I am told to runhsfconfig to end it. I do it and then can read the message:
"This package does not contain pre-built modules suitable for your system:
Distribution: Mandrake-9.0
Kernel arch: i686
Kernel version: Linux-2.4.19-16mdk

My driver is an Olitec version, for the right modem and for the right linux version.

Thanks for any ideas

Re: [newbie] HELLLLPPP!!

[cannewilson]

Thanks for the quick reply, Raffaele.  I don't know how it was fixed, but
fixed it is.  I did as you suggested, but wasn't sure what to choose from
the rescue menu, so I went for 'mount your partitions'.  It found the old
8.2 kernel, and said that my partitions were already mounted, and returned
me to the menu.  I didn't know what to do next, so I chose reboot.

It started up and I selected 9.0 from lilo, which is the one from before
I installed win4lin - just in case there was a problem on the win4lin stanza.
 It booted fine, so I shutdown and rebooted on win4lin, as I usually do,
and everything seems fine.

I'd still like to know what could have caused the problem, if anyone has
any ideas.  But thanks for your help - it's saved my sanity.  This box does
odds and ends, but my linux box has my life on it.  I'm shutting this one
down now and going back to my own.

I've just realised that the reply sent earlier via webmail will not come 
through.  It was on these lines:

Thanks for a speedy reply, Raffaele.  I don't know exactly how it got fixed, 
but fixed it is.

I ran a disk bootup, as you suggested, but didn't know what to choose from the 
menu, so I chose 'mount your partitions'.  It found the old 8.2 kernel, and 
told me that my partitions were already mounted, returning me to the menu.  
Since I didn't know what to do next, I chose Reboot.

>From lilo I selected Mdk9.0 - the stanza used before I installed win4lin - in 
case the problem was in some way due to the win4lin stanza.  It booted OK, so 
I shutdown and rebooted into the win4lin stanza, which is my normal choice.  
Everything is fine.

I still would like to know just what could have caused this, if anyone has any 
ideas.  The only thing I saw wrong last night was that Galeon was reluctant 
to print out a web page.  Meanwhile, thanks again.  you saved my sanity.  The 
old windows box has its uses, but my life is here on this Mandrake box :)

While it might have a slight chance if you took src.rpms and

cooker is using much newer libs, particularly glibc, than 9.0 has.

Yes, that thought came to mind recently about not using smbusers as a

When I create smbusers group on the server, I checked first to see what
the gid was (507 in that case), so when I created smbusers on my p.c., I
changed the gid to match.  

Odd thing is (I fibbed on my last post - but included it because I knew
something like that had to be done) when I set hosts allow = @smbusers
in smb.conf and restart smb services, the server no longer appears in
the win clients network neighborhood.  If I reset hosts allow to =
192.168.1.0/255.255.255.0 it reappears in network neighborhood...must be
missing something else in smb.conf?

The groups thing must be working to some degree though, if anybody
creates a file/folder on the server thru nfs or samba, it shows up with
them being the owner and belonging to the smbusers group.  But
permissions are rx - NOT rwx.  I am guessing it has to do with mask or
umask settings, just not to sure how to fix that yet.  Thanks for trying
though Anne.

Any thoughts?

Are you sure this is the 'outside' address?  I would have thought that it was 
the 'internal' address that is meant to be the gateway.  192.168.xxx.xxx is, 
so far as I know exclusively for use in local networks.

This puts eth1, and presumably any other computers attached to it on a 
different subnet.  Did you intend that?

I would have expected all your computers to be on the 192.168.0.x subnet, with 
192.168.0.1 set as gateway.  Have you tried that?

I'm a bit out of my depth here, so I'll leave it to someone else to check out 
your entries.  One thing does occur to me though - I thought smbusers was 
what you might call a 'reserved' group, rather than just a user group, which 
was what I had in mind.  I wouldn't have used that name in the groups.  I 
don't do it c/l way, but I would have added user group netusers or something 
like that, and added the names.

Looking at /etc/group, I see a typical entry of

usb:x:43:anne,Andy,Micky,Nigel,Gillian,david

I presume that the 43 is the number assigned to the group on creation.  I 
presume you determined that before adding the line?  (Don't be offended - I'm 
thrashing about).

Otherwise, I can't think of anything else right now.

Larry - I'm thrashing about in the hope that my thoughts will get you thinking 
on new lines, not because I know the answer.  The ESP Ghostscript comment 
suggests to me that it is receiving a ps file - do you think that is so?  
Also, I am certain that I have read somewhere about settings on the windows 
machine, but so far I haven't remembered where I saw it.  It was something on 
the lines of 'if you have the choice of ECP and EPP' (I think that's right) 
it suggested the samba did not like one of them, so you should set it to the 
other.  I can't remember which, but you could try the opposite one to the one 
you have now.

If I can find the reference I'll post it up.  Meanwhile, check out
