I have an Asus A7V133c m/b w/ an Athlon T-bird 1.3. It's not an OEM
board. The other drives I have are /dev/hda some old shitty cd-rom,
/dev/hdg a maxtor 30 gig running at ATA-100, /dev/hde a quantam 30 gig
ATA-100. You think being less than 2 years old kernel support would have
gone beyond my 12X drive? I've gotten some pretty old, crappy hardware
working w/ new kernels (IDE controller cards and whatnot). I wasn't
using windows as a "hey it works in here why not linux", just that if it
was something physically wrong (i.e. not a driver/config problem) it
should show up every time I use the drive regardless of OS. here is the
output of the hdparm command.

[newbie] From DHCP to static and back
My default setup is to get TCP/IP settings from a DHCP server. Quite often I have to change this setting to static when moving to another network. What I am now doing is releasing DHCP settings with "dhcpcd -k". When I want to go back to the DHCP setting I enter "dhcpcd -n" and everything works fine. However (why always a however?), I have noticed that, according to "ps -ax", instead of one dhcpcd process I have two processes in memory: the original one and the one with the command line "dhcpcd -n". Is this normal? Or is there something I am doing wrong or missing?

It's not just the ready-made one's with this problem. I've found that MANY all-in-one's either don't have the option to disable the onboard video, or if even if they have the option, it doesnt work. I have a ASUS sp97v board with a dead onboard vga and a PCI vga card I disabled the onboard card using a jumper on the motherboard to do so, and yet X still detects the card and attempts to use it, however the memory is freed and everything works if I tell X to not use that card. He should look on the board, near the onboard VGA connector, to see if there is a jumper to disable the onboard stuff.. It will allow the board to give up it's shared vga memory, and might even actually disable the onboard video like it's supposed to. -- Chuck Burns <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> Want to buy your Pack or Services from MandrakeSoft?

For some reason, the 9.0 startup scripts turn dma off for optical drives. For this instruction, I will assume your cd-burner is /dev/hdc scsi emulated as /dev/scd0. For your machine, replce the hdc with whatever ata channel your burner is on. Go into the directory /etc/sysconfig and you will see a file called harddisks. Copy this file as root to a file called harddiskhdc. cp harddisks harddiskhdc Edit the new file with your favorit text editor (mines nano) and uncomment the line that says '# USE_DMA=1' so it looks like this USE_DMA=1 and save the file. Since dma is off, it is very likely that hdparm is already installed on your system, but to doublecheck, type rpm -qa | grep -i hdparm if you get no output, you need to install hdparm, so type urpmi hdparm, and follow the instructions. Now when yopu boot up, DMA will be turned back on. Another method would be to remove hdparm completely, which will prevent it from being turned off to begin with. The problem with this approach is that you won't be able to use hdparm to tune your hard drives. urpme hdparm to learn more about hdparm, type man hdparm. - -- Greg -BEGIN PGP SIGNATURE- Version: GnuPG v1.0.7 (GNU/Linux) iD8DBQE+SwhDwDpHP6GALAARAk++AJwO5VVbl/vpUItJyCsVsts9c29NuwCghN0+ //X97CjRQAFrIG3Y8Q+ETsk= =BznK -END PGP SIGNATURE- Want to buy your Pack or Services from MandrakeSoft?

[newbie] HP Computers
Hey there.. It looks like I found my problem that I've been having for awhile. This may be what is stumping many of you users of HP computers who decided you wanted linux, and a better video card. Since my computer (HP Pavilion 7935) came with onboard video.. and not its own card, when I tried configuring my computer for linux, I ended up selecting 'configure both heads independently'.. referring to (Head 1): My onboard display adapter.. and (Head 2): my other video card. When I did this, my computer was complaining (though I only found this out after logging the startx output messages) because when you put in a new video card, the onboard video disables itself entirely, and yet linux was trying to use the onboard video. This also leaves me with 16MB of set-apart RAM I can't get my hands on, but.. that's not too big of a deal. Anyway.. I just thought this might help some people who don't know why their HP computer doesn't like linux. :) I have put in a GeForce4 MX 440-SE (PCI) and it seems to be working fine now. Hope this helps some of you :) Sincerely, John S. Chalice a.k.a. crysaliq -- http://crysaliq.home.attbi.com Want to buy your Pack or Services from MandrakeSoft? Go to http://www.mandrakestore.com

If i am going to install something i open the GUI, if the requirements arent met i use CLI rpm to check..."rpm -qa|grep package-name". If its not there and the GUI doesnt have access to getting the rpm then i DL it from http://rpm.pbone.net/ or http://rpmfind.net and then install the rpm via CLI rpm. Its a hassle. Oh well...

Well, I've done searches within the newbie and expert lists for
"rpmdrake" and I see almost no vocality on a positive note for rpmdrake
2.1. This isn't from memory, this is from a hard search for "rpmdrake"
thru all emails I have. My lists here date back to 1999. I saw no
naysayers convinced in the discussions on the expert list, may they come
here on this thread and correct me if I am wrong. And if they still
don't like rpmdrake 2.1, I'd appreciate hearing about that as well.

Perhaps or perhaps not; I think it varies with the situation. Be that
as it may, the point was "favorable reaction", and not " the statistical
weight of dissenters". On the point in question I maintain that there
are historically almost no peeps pushing rpmdrake 2.1 according to the
list mail. Except maybe the developers.

I happen to agree with you here. I also think that this UI should have
been put to a vote before it was changed; it would have saved much
debate and the end product would have been better.

1) The customers pay the company that pays for the development.
2) Wether the decision was arbitrary or not depends largely on the
average joe's leverage in the decision, which I maintain was not alot.

What it was put in place for originally has absolutely no relation to
what it has evolved to and is being used for now. Be that as it may,
basically you are saying that the Mandrake users should not determine
the direction of the Mandrake tools UI.

That debate concerns licensing issues and has nothing to do with
rpmdrake, which btw is a Mandrakesoft creation and is already included
in the distro, where the Nvidia drivers are *not*.

It's absurd. this was changed in 9.0 and I was quite disappointed it with it too, ttytt. the most important feature of 8.2's rpmdrake was that you could see... right there in front of you... what files it would put where if you installed it. with rpmdrake in 9.0 it's not there.

I am somewhat new to the cooker list, and I just migrated to 9.1 beta. The difference is that now I've actually made the transition from "theory" to "practice" in my involvement with rpmdrake 2.x, and it isn't positive. I just don't believe the 4-way interface is as good as rpmdrake 1.4. Behind the scenes the "engine(s)" may be new and improved, but the interface just isn't getting it. I don't understand *why* it was changed, and I have not talked to anybody that does. It seems to me that this should have been a discussion/vote within Mandrakeclub prior to the time that the change was made. I assumed that that was one of the reasons that Mandrakeclub existed. >But what do I know, it's much easier and quicker to manage packages > on the CL anyhow ;~ppp I use rpm to install downloaded individual rpm's and rpmdrake to install from CD and update the OS from the net. Usually I get the latter two items done pretty easily from the rpmdrake 1.4 UI. But since I've been using LM91 Beta 3, I've developed a strong aversion to using rpmdrake. I used to could start rpmdrake 1.4 from an Eterm and then as I conducted actions in the UI, it would report back to Eterm exactly what it was doing, connecting to, unpacking, installing, etc, et al, ad infinitim. Very handy; very good UI experience; a good teamwork job between the CLI and the UI. Now with 9.1 all that is history. >BTW, in the recent discussions of updating 9.1b3 from mirrors, I > failed to mention there's a new tool 'urpmi.setup' available.

I don't spend all day playing with rpmdrake. But when I do use it, I like for there to be a decent UI sitting there waiting. With the advent of rpmdrake 2.1 it is now probably time to get a handle on the CLI procedures for urpmi, at least in the interim period that it takes for rpmdrake 1.4 to be voted back in.

The people that don't like a change are always the most vocal about why they
don't like something, which is why when you go back and look, the evidence
will always point to the dissenters outweighing the people that like it.
Take the recent discussion about the new mdkkdm as a case in point. I
personally hate it and think it should go away yesterday. You, however, may
like it and think it is the best change Mandrake ever made. The Internet is
full of posts from me making a case for why it should be gone, but because
you may like it, you didn't say anything.

I don't think a development decision made by the company that pays for the
development a tyrannical one, and this was definitely not arbitrary. I also
think Club voting was put into place in order to determine if fluxbox or
blackbox goes on cd1 or 2, not determine the development direction of the
Mandrake Tools. No matter how many people vote to put nVidia drivers in the
distro, they won't go in.

Because you try to use class C before it is defined (you declared it
above, but the definition comes afterwards).
As long as the class is only declared, you may only use it in limited
context. For example, you may create a pointer or reference to the
class, you may also define new types based on the class (typedef).
But when you define class D, the compiler tries determine the memory
layout of the class, and thefore has to know more about C than it does
at that point.

Anders, I can't comment about command lines but I've seen this with other pieces of software. Usually, when I lose something here, and it won't restart its because its not completely dead. You can do a "top" or to bring up KDEs' System Guard and see if part of that process is still running.

So it should be possible to dynamically adjust the list as sources are added/deleted. Every release of Mandrake has nice new goodies like this, but all too often very few people ever find out about them. I hope this little app is clearly marked somewhere since the people who need it most are the ones who are least likely to find it. derek (An example of a neglected new feature is the Samba setup wizard - To set up a basic Samba server, all you have to do is press the Samba wizard button in Mandrake Control Centre.

Favorable reaction where, exactly? I haven't seen any and I've scanned
all three lists. There's one thread on Expert regarding this titled
"Re: [expert] rpmdrake 9.0, a step backwards :(". This thread contains
the major commentary on this subject that I've been able to find. In
addition to that there is also no support for your "favorable reaction"
theory when you look at the votes on the RPM Voting pages for
rpmdrake-1.4-18mdk. It's gone all the way to page 2 out of 10 and as of
right now is up to 47 votes. After today it will be 49 cause I will be
casting my two cents in the wishing well.
Among the dissenters on the thread above in the Expert list were Dale
Huckeby, Toshiro, David Guntner, Franki and Piero Piutti. James
Sparenburg made the following excellent point:
"Ok now the discussion has gone on to the point of creating two equally
problomatic camps. My question is there a middle gournd. Can the UI of
old be merged with the codebase of new. The answer is yes."
Of the ones that were *for* the new rpmdrake, there was Todd Lyons
alone; and I was unable to discern anybody else in the thread that made
it clear that they were liking rpmdrake 2.1. Bottom line is that I find
no basis in reality for your statement concerning a "favorable
reaction."
> I think it is here to stay.
And I think it depends on the votes. And it should. THAT should be the
determining factor, and not some arbitrary tyrannical decision handed
down from an ivory tower.

[newbie] Rpmdrake in 9.1 needs to be stomped and burned
Whew. I tell you what guysI love 9.1 in general and so far things have been working OK. But this new rpmdrake UI is the worst idea I've seen in a long long time. I wish I had one or two gallons of holy water, some wooden stakes and some nightvision goggles so I could put this undead monster to it's final rest. Rpmdrake in LM82 was very eloquent and I got addicted to it in record time; all functions right there at your fingertips, including update/install/removal/source configuration. I got used to using it almost on a daily basis. Contrast this with 9.1, where you have rpmdrake butchered into four seperate chunks, each one of which does not allow access to any of the other pieces. To get things done you have to go back to one of the other icons, which brings up a seperate incarnation of rpmdrake doing the separate thing. In LM91 beta 3, to duplicate the functionality of one LM82 Rpmdrake UI instance, you must activate all four icon instances of rpmdrake listed in MCC. Then you end up with four seperate windows, each one of which looks identical to the other one except for the title bars. It's absurd. Now try running the "new and improved" rpmdrake from an Eterm. It puts you into "software packages installation" mode. Can you affect what mode you want it to go into? Not according to rpmdrake --help. There is not a method listed to do so. Translation: "Mandrake Update" mode: unavailable. "Remove software" mode: unavailable. "Software Sources Manager" mode: unavailable. Previously all these functions were easily accessible from within the LM8X rpmdrake UI. NOW you have to activate a seperate icon for each one. El dumb-o. The positive side to all this is that in the Mandrakeclub RPM voting page, you can let it be known if you do not like LM9X Rpmdrake by casting your vote for Ctardif's entry, listed as "rpmdrake 1.4 (9.1/i586)". This would bring back the old rpmdrake. FYI...the version of rpmdrake that LM91 Beta 3 has off of the CD's is rpmdrake-2.1-4mdk.

I tend to like curl better, but it seems wget is often more bulletproof. So, if curl is installed, urpmi.update -a --wget && urpmi --auto-select --wget Will make urpmi use wget. From the man page, "Wget has been designed for robustness over slow or unstable network connections; if a download fails due to a network problem, it will keep retrying until the whole file has been retrieved.

Usually, when I lose something here, and it won't restart its because its not completely dead. You can do a "top" or to bring up KDEs' System Guard and see if part of that process is still running. If it is, just kill it, then restart your app. Works for me here. :-) -- /\ Dark< >Lord \/ Want to buy your Pack or Services from MandrakeSoft? Go to http://www.mandrakestore.com

Re: [newbie] easy to use HTML editor?
Angus, If you have a copy of Dreamweaver, you can get it to run under Linux. Check out http://www.frankscorner.org/wine/ to see how to get several apps to run under wine, including Flash and Dreamweaver. Dreamweaver's code is pretty clean, but there is no substitute for knowing HTML and coding it your way in a text editor. I use Quanta, Bluefish and Screem also under Linux when I don't remember the tags, but 9 times out of 10, I'm using gvim for the nice syntax highlighting features. I've never tried the install with wine, but I have other apps working under wine and Frank's site has been a good reference.

Re: [newbie] Installing fonts in Mandrake Control Center (mcc) -TIP
I agree. That would definitely be a cool idea to have some of the other listers on here post some tips and tricks about Mandrake. I'd even like to see it become a mailing list all its own. It would greatly help us newbies, and perhaps even the experts as well. Here here!
