On the other hand, I shall eventually upgrade to Mandrake 9.* in the hope that
the bug will be fixed that occasions the need to reboot 8.2 every couple of days;

No typo. My wife sings in a choir. One of the members downloaded bunch of 
music samples from the net and I promised to make a music cd out of them. 
XMMS or Noatun play them allright but when I tried to convert them to wav 
like usual mpg it failed. 
Will try mplayer if I find a way to download it.

Re: [newbie] IBM install from HELL !!!!

[Harv Nelson]

Hi

When I have encountered problems like this, one program that has helped me is 
a little utility called "aefdisk".  It is available from the usual sources or 

www.aefdisk.com

I use it with:

aefdisk /delall

That blows away the mbr and writes a clean new one.  If this works, anything 
that was on the disk will be useless.  But I guess that is what you want.  
Give it a spin.  You'll have to include the system files on the floppy.

I used Charles solution and it worked. I think it was Charles. I installed the 
dhcpcd package and had a internet connection on first boot of a clean 
install.  This looks like something that will have to definitely be fixed 
cause it delt me fits and I am no true newbie. Really really new newbies will

As for the cdrw disks, I think you are right. I could not get 9.1b3 to 
install, it would hang part way through in different places. 9.1rc1 Installed 
without a hitch, well except for the known hitches. So I think I will only 
use the cdrw's as a storage device and make sure I can read them at that.

I use gcombust for this, you just drag your wav files into it and hit 'burn'. 

For converting mp3 to wav, here is some little script. (it's an early one so 
don't judge me by it - it's patchwork from others scripts, but it did it for 
me)

You need mpg123 and sox installed (which I guess is pretty much standard). 

Put it into a text file and make it executable with 'chmod u+x mp32wav' and 
move it into /usr/bin or something in your PATH.

If you start the script with "mp32wav *.mp3" in a folder with mp3s or from the 
Nautilus script folder) it creates a subfolder "wav" and converts all mp3 
into wav files with the same name exept '.mp3' becomes '.wav'

b.
---
#!/bin/bash
# mp32wav

mp3file="$*"
mkdir wav

for file in "$@" ; do
#echo "$file"
wavfile=`echo "$file" | sed s/\\.mp3/.wav/`
printf "%-50s %-50s\n" "$file" "-->  $wavfile"

# to encode wav-->mp3
#lame -h "$file" "$mp3file"

# to encode mp3-->wav
mpg123 -b 1 -s "$file" | sox -t raw -r 44100 -s -w -c2 - "wav/$wavfile"
done

Thats what I thought.  Actually, what I was going to do is see what format a 
regular audio cd was in.  I'd like to take some of my mp3 cds and convert 
them (if possible) to play in my car cd player.  I think I read a while back 
the this can be done by converting them to .wav files, but I may be 
incorrect.  If so, I know I can use mplayer to do this.  The audio cd will 
load up and play with KsCD but not XMMS or Mplayer, any reason why neither 
work?

Your pre-recorded CD is, I assume, an audio CD with an audio track (or 
tracks).  Your MP3s are stored in a computer-readable filesystem.  Audio CDs 
are not mounted the same way, and that's likely your issue.

When you put in your audio CD, do you then open a CD player like XMMS or KsCD 
to play the disc?

Yenta_Socket is the pcmcia card manager, and Yes it is using IRQ10 just like 
your sound card, and the USB.

I do not think it is going to work until you get the IRQ lines distributed 
better.
As I said before. If you cannot force IRQ lines in your BIOS, disabling unused 
devices such as usb controllers, built in sound/MIDI/Joystick etc, or 
physically moving cards about will often reassign IRQ's.

I  forget, did you tell us what kind of motherboard this is? I once had an ECS 
K7S5a which was a real pig with this issue. Like yours it insisted on putting 
everything on one IRQ line unless particular cards were in particular slots.
I was glad when it died on me and I could get a decent motherboard.

Thanks Civileme, coming from you I definitely take it as a compliment. 
Thanks also for your help to many of us on this list.  When I first
started using Mandrake (7.1), you helped me more times than I could
count, and now I'm in a position to try to help others, and this is the
best way I can do it.

I wasn't trying to recruit anyone else to go out and do the same thing,
only asking people to keep their ears open for other similar resources
so that we could gradually begin to network them together.  I know that
I can't be the first person to come up with this idea.  I figure that
most towns have some kind of LUG and that would be a good place to
start.  Thanks for your feedback.

Michael

[newbie] pre-recorded cd and permissions

[Chris]

I put in a pre-recorded cd in my drive a bit ago, clicked on the cd icon and 
got a box that said I don't have enough permissions to open /mnt/cdrom, tried 
my other drive, got the same.  A cd that I've recorded mp3's on works just 
fine.  Why won't a pre-recorded one?  And what may I have to do to fix it?

Have you checked the configuration of your ICQ in Windows? There is an
option to keep your contact list on the server - I know that I had
problems with it a while back - but found that option - once I did that
I was able to get my contact lists for ICQ in GAIM, LICQ, KXICQ, KOPETE
and GnomeICU...

You might want to try using Webmin to setup the printer - I've found
that especially with Canon printers in MDK it seems to work a tad bit
better than using the MCC for setting it up. I'm sure I'll get a
thousand flames for that, but it works for me. Also, being that there is
a new version of Webmin, you might want to upgrade it as well - once you
get Webmin up and running, you can go to the Webmin configuration and
run an update. Nice tool.

[newbie] cd players?

[bascule]

is there a cd player that will recognise a cd in either of the drives without 
having to config seperately each time i swap drives? one that can let me 
choose which drive to play from and that has a bar to choose what part of the 
song to play from? i want the functionality of the basic cd player that 
windows has always had - at least up to win9x anyway,
also, how does one get xmms to play cds, the plugin is installed, configured 
and enabled but how do i use the gui to play the cd?

No, Canon is rather economical with its distribution of information ands as a 
result canon drivers lag behind others in recency.

Almost all printers are listed along with how well the drivers work at

www.linuxprinting.org

As for the printer, try setting 360x360 dpi in the printer settings (run 
printerdrake in a terminal su'ed to root).  It is the 720 that is causing 
problems.

One of the reasons for recompiling the kernel is to get the maximum out
of your system - when you recompile, you're not using just "generic"
settings that the distributions kernel uses - keep in mind that the
distro kernel was MEANT to be generic and "all encompassing". Your
kernel would be specific to your machine and hardware (and
requirements).

It's like building an engine for a car that specifically works for that
car only. High performance.

**
That's interesting. I seem to have straightened out the duplicate KWord entries in the 
right click menu by editing the file associations for .kwd files. I removed KWord from 
the file associations for .kwd files, applied the changes, and then re-entered KWord 
into association w/.kwd files.
I now have only one entry in the 'open with' menu to open in KWord, and another to 
preview in KWord (which doesn't open a separate KWord window, but opens within Konq). 
This seems like it's working "correct".
I still get the same warning as before however, about KWord getting 2 offers!

Must be a glitch, as you point out.

Thanks for the feedback John. :-)

Right.
With your set-up you need it.

But in my case with a LAN and in D-Link bugzilla  case where a special
router is used between the NIC and the modem then dhcpcd must be
installed.

BTW, in case you do not receive them I noted that in the latest DrakX
snapshot

* network/network.pm: dhcp fix

Will see if it actually does when RC2 is uploaded.

Re: [newbie] OT - Linux Job Resources

[Michael Lewis]

Thanks for kudos Andrei.  Believe it or not, your's has been the only
response so far.  Sometimes I wonder if I should even bother.  If it
were not that a number of people have indicated that they really like my
site here in Colorado, and an occasional response like yours,   I would
just give it up.  Sometimes it seems like no matter what you try to do
to actually help people, they're more concerned with debating the
Israeli / Palestinian conflict, or whether or not Sadaam should be taken
out.  Those threads seemed to go on forever.

Again, Thanks!!

Re: [newbie] right click

I already checked that nothing about the right click,

Speaking of which my Auctiontech 56K PCI call waiting modem is not a 
"Winmodem" and works great with Red Hat and SuSE, but when installing 
Mandrake, it tells me that I need to set it up with the winmodem drivers.

Luckily I have Cable and really don't need the modem.

I'll do that, Also, sorry if I asked something that has already been asked. I 
have only been using mandrake for about a month or so. I moved from about 4 
years of Red Hat use. I loved RH until I tried 8.0. That was enough to make 
someone want to go back to windows!

Right

result is as following

everything already installed

But as I see I realli don't have the file /usr/lib/libexif.la

In usr/lib I have 4 files of libexif

/usr/lib/libexif.so.7.0.0

/usr/lib/libexif.so.8

For IceWM (standalone, not within KDE), there's a configuration utility 
called IcePref. There you'll find a "Mouse Buttons" tab where you should 
be able to disable right click.
Or, you can edit directly ~/.icewm/preferences.

Then I don't understand. Why would you think it's better to urpmi 
iso's?  iso's aren't upgradeable, installable  ... which is what 
urpmi is for.

iso's (image files), are meant to be d/l'd to your system (HDD), 
and then either burned to CD's, or used for installing from the HDD.

I don't know what "mpga" is (just a guess: an MPEG audio-only stream?)
but you can probably convert it to WAV with MPlayer. It's simple.

mplayer -ao pcm -aofile Outputfile.wav Inputfile.mpga

If you do not have mplayer installed, i recommend it to you very much.

I have the habit of configuring my internet connection After install.
Thus my machine insisted on dhcp when I tyried to configure it later.

I did a new install and 'configured' static IP during initial install and this 
seems to work fine (uptil now, 10 min later)

collection when I get home.

   Well, I don't use RW's. I see no good reason to with CDr's at 30¢ 
each. There's a very good reason not to, specially for iso's. RW's, 
even when brand new, will not be as 'readable' as CDr's will.  I 
often suspect those that report problems with iso CD's failing to 
install properly, fail to mention they're using cd-rw's.

   d4x is just a download buttler. It doesn't find, d/l, and install 
updates as urpmi does.  d4x is just a GUI frontend for wget. It just 
make d/l'ing multiple files, specially more than one at a time, easy. 
It definitely will resume failed d/l's and allows you to throttle how 
much of your bandwidth to give to d/l'ing, among many other features.

   I use sunsite 'cause it's the primary mirror and updates often

   Well, I don't use RW's. I see no good reason to with CDr's at 30¢ 
each. There's a very good reason not to, specially for iso's. RW's, 
even when brand new, will not be as 'readable' as CDr's will.  I 
often suspect those that report problems with iso CD's failing to 
install properly, fail to mention they're using cd-rw's.

   d4x is just a download buttler. It doesn't find, d/l, and install 
updates as urpmi does.  d4x is just a GUI frontend for wget. It just 
make d/l'ing multiple files, specially more than one at a time, easy. 
It definitely will resume failed d/l's and allows you to throttle how 
much of your bandwidth to give to d/l'ing, among many other features.

   I use sunsite 'cause it's the primary mirror and updates often 
(hourly). Unless you update cooker several times a day, you'd probly 
be better off using one of the less busy mirrors listed on the mirror

Hi Angus,

Found the German text.  It reads :

Rechtsklick auf ein Koffice-Dokument -> Dateityp bearbeiten...
means: Rightclick on a Koffoce-Document -> Change Datatype

Und einen der doppelten Eintraege entfernen.
means: And remove the double submissions

Can translate it.  But could not DO it.  Do you know what he means?

G'day,
well this is a clean install of Mandrake from scratch, I've done
almost no stuffing around with it - I'm just beginning to find
my way around, reading things and watching the pretty visualizations
in XMMS :) So I don't think anything should be corrupted this
early...
But I tried, went to add/remove programs: it took me to a page
which let me add programs, but I couldn't see any way to remove
anything. Anyhow, I installed it again, thinking that maybe it
would write files over the old ones.
No change.

G'day,
I tried 'arts' [after trying a few ways I found you have to
click on the word 'null', go left with the arrow keys, delete
the characters to the right, and only then can you type in a 
new value. Oh, and yes, you have to hit enter before leaving
the page or the change won't hold...]
anyway, arts produces the same result - pic but no sound.

'xine --help' tells me the available drivers are null and oss,
but when I tried oss, it just flashes on the screen for a second
or so then disappears.

Anything else??

[newbie] wrong printer picked...

[linux]

G'day all,

when I installed Mandrake it didn't find my printer and
I accepted the suggested alternative; unfortunately it
now prints twice as wide as it should...

My printer is a Canon S200SP; Printerdrake lists the
S100 and the S300, but it actually chose the BJC-2100
Ghostscript+gimp-print[recommended].
I tried the S100 and got the same results.

Is there a driver for the S200SP available, and if so
where?

Anything else I should try?

TIA...

Thanks John for your reply and observations. I did a google for the warning message, and came up with a response for the exact message, but it is on a German SuSE mailing list, and, unfortunately I can't read German. :-)
The warning on the German list was in regard to "KOffice 1.2 Beta2-Installation".

Do you also have the double KWord entries in the right click context menu 'open with' when clicking a .kwd file? 

Best regards.

Yes it does present the same choices twice over.That is
what the message means , isn't it. Your being offered
two opportunities to open a kword.kwd file , obviously
a glitch in the programme, and incidentally, it does not
occure if you call kword from the start menu, there you
"choose" using the search facility your directory containing .kwd files and highlight one and the OK,
and obviously there is no double "Offer" .

Yes you are correct Angus.

For anyone having problems with DHCP and the Betas or RC1

The problem Is Not caused by the nic

During network configuration if you select DHCP, regardless of the type
of connection dhcp-client and dhcp-server are installed and Only they
are installed.

If you connect through a firewall, router or to a LAN you Need to
install dhcpcd.
You can remove the dhcp-client and server because you do not need them
on that machine but if you for some reason run drakconnect it will want
to install them again..

[newbie] Exchange email replacement?

[T E]

Hi all,

I am wondering what any of you recommend for a
Microsoft Exchange Server replacement from the Linux
world.   I was orginally considering the Bynari
product, but I hear postfix with fetchmail will also
work as well? The replacement will need to work with a
an Exchange 5.5 box AND support all the groupware
features such as public calendering and public contact
lists...probably accross subnets...  Any ideas?

   OK, I thought it had been reported. Unfortunately the alternative 
might end up being gettin another brand NIC that will work, if you're 
in a hurry ;(  D-Links are cheap, work well.  I've heard some less 
than flattering stuff about Syslink NICs lately, even security holes 
built into the hardware.

  Yeah, I got 1 & 2 before 3, but the mirror (sunsite) was a little 
slower than normal (busy as hell ;), and wouldn't allow 3 d/l's at 
the same time.  Took 2 hrs, 34 mins to get the first two RC1 iso's 
simultaneously usin d4x on a 1.5 mb adsl connection. NBD, I d/l'd iso 
3 while I was checking md5sums, and burnin 1 & 2  ;)
