[newbie] Novell Client for Mandrake

[Eko Budiharto]

Hi,
I am new with Mandrake. I am using Mandrake for users as a client in my 
office. I would like to ask how to access Novell v. 3.12 from Mandrake 9.0.
How can I do that?

Edit /etc/modules.conf and find the line that begins with

alias sound-slot-0 snd-.

and comment it out with a # and the line following it.

Put in this line:

alias sound i810_audio

so that your modules.conf looks like this (this is mine)

alias usb-interface usb-ohci
#alias sound-slot-0 snd-card-intel8x0
#above snd-card-intel8x0 snd-pcm-oss
alias sound i810_audio
probeall scsi_hostadapter usb-storage ide-scsi
alias eth0 sis900
alias /dev/nvidia*   NVdriver


Save and Exit.

(and thanks to Civilme for posting this fix well over a year ago)

Do you mean you want to be able to feed the downloader a HTML page, and have it
download it and all the links embedded on that page? If so, then Downloader for
X (NT) can do this. You need to set the "depth of recursing" variable to the
level that you want to go down through the links. To download a whole site, set
this to 0 (unlimited). You may also want to toggle the "Allow leave this server
while recursing via HTTP" and "Only subdirs" for some extra control. The "Change
links in HTML file to local" can be useful here, too.

Being that Galeon = Mozilla -> all you have to do is to get the Flash
plugins for Mozilla, then Galeon follows suit.

AFAIK, the 2mb capacity is 'unformatted' and 'formmatted' means that
the drive is low-level prepped for use, timing tracks and so forth
have been written. At that point it's a 1.44 meg capacity device. Then
you get to format it (i.e., make a filesystem).

Of course, "formatting" in linux is a two step process - fdformat and
mkfs. People used to Windows and DOS think of it as one unified
process.

If you add the -M flag, yes. :) Actually it will say "prepare medium
in /dev/fd0" or something similar - it doesn't know or care that fd0
is a floppy.

I thought that's what i did :). I was tarring directly to /dev/fd0. 

> better yet, why not use cpio?

Why not? My feeling is that tar is a lot easier, and probably a lot
more portable. I look at the cpio man page and there are all sorts
of different formats and to me (and probably a lot of newbies) it's
more complicated than it needs to be. 

Besides I don't think you save anything with it as compared to tar. 


But there are lots of people (bsd types maybe) that are really
conversant with cpio. I figured it would complicate matters more if
it were brought up on a newbie list :).

I found the info on the sound chip, it is a via 8233 and Tom B. says it should 
work also but it is a memory hog.  I don't have but 192mb of memory in the 
machine so think I will do as he suggested and let it use the asound sound 
card. Thanks for the support.

Thanks Tom, I will take your advice. Since I don't really have any other pci 
cards to install (needed or otherwise) I am going to leave well enough alone. 
I put a different heatsink and fan on and now the comp stays up all the time 
and everything is working.  Good enough to test rc2 on.  Thanks again.

from the 1st level help desk is bitching about some poor user on the
other end of the line. I just didn't think it belonged on a newbie list,
that's all. Please, if I'm overreacting, forgive me.

I don't really think the guy was trying to help with something he knew
nothing about, more like he was trying to gain a better understanding of
what your problem was.

I really believe that job of the 1st level help desk person is much more
demanding than many people realise, and although not as technical as
some would like, it really does take a patient and empathetic person to
be a good 1st level help desk employee. And we are not all such :)

Cool, let's move on and be happy :)

Well, an apology wasn't necessarily wanted or required. I have no right
to go demanding apologies on this list. I just needed to get something
off my chest, that's all. Thanks anyway.

I'd have to agree on this part.  I didn't even know you could put XP
on a machine with such little ram, especially when M$'s requirements
are 128 MB at least.  And where I work, we even have computers with
512 MB or ram running XP Pro, and it can crawl sometimes when running
multiple apps.  As from my personal experience, mdk 9.0 boots up FAR
faster than XP (a stock install, nothing modified, using a Cisco
Aironet 350 wireless network card), and even my iBook with OS 10.1.4
on it.  I am booted and logged in ready to run apps before my mac or
my co-worker's XP machine are even finished booting. He has a Dell
Precision with a 2 GHz CPU, and 256 MB of ram .. I have a Dell
Latitude C610 with only a 1 GHz CPU, and only 128 MB of ram.

Just my $0.02 worth.

Couldn't you recreate the bit in the smb.conf that has the "home" shares
setup and point them to places you want? Otherwise, you should be able
to create new "groups" for these users, and using the "Security=Share"
per each share, have certain ability for some users and not for
others...(but they're going to need to be added as users on the Samba
machine)

Especially in using SWAT, you should be able to get it all going - the
idea, though, is to have "groups" of users - so creating new "groups"
should be the starting point - then creating the shares the way you
desire.

Either I'm doing something right or something wrong - I can see all the
"dot files" in tar's and the likes - everything - so maybe it's a Konq
setting that's been flipped for me? I know that somewhere I did set Konq
to view hidden files and backup files (same with Naughty-Lust) - so
maybe that's the go with that - because Konq treats a TAR as a directory
or a file structure?

I have to disagree with that - XP does have quite a bit of "new"
functionality built into it - and, IMHO, does have better performance
overall than Win2k. NOT THAT I'M TOUTING M$ WINDOWSXP, y'all - but being
that I have to service/support/install/configure it constantly, this is
what I deal with.

XP DOES have quite a bit of eye-candy, but overall, it can be made to
fly IF one prepares the installation properly and IF one configures the
system from the get-go. Stability and performance can outdo Win2k - but
as stated, it's a matter of tuning, tweaking and thinking.

Still, though, I run linux on my personal stuff - safer overall, far
more stable, far more secure, far less intrusive.

Most EULA's are not legal contracts. In civilised countries the right to
disassemble is enshrined in law (ironically it comes in Europe from trying  
to keep car manufacturers from running monopolistic scams not from the
software people doing the same)

In the USA its a lot less clear. You can find laws explicitly claiming both,
and since US law is primarily about who has loads of money, its a bit
irrelevant

Ok - the http location is:

http://thor.prohosting.com/~kilgoret/files/

There's a few files up there - nothing monumental, though. Don't mind
the site, it's just a storage space for me and I ain't gotten offa my
butt to do anything further with it for quite some time (waiting for my
damn ADSL to get here so I can move everything home.)

Cheers y'all!

RE: [newbie] port monitor sought

[Andrei Raevsky]

Hi,

Thanks for your answers, but I have to say you've got me confused.  Damien
says that firestarter will report connection attempts (exactly what I
need) whereas Rob says that firestarter is a firewall and does not
"monitor ports".  Since I only use dial-up for my computer and I never use
it as a server, I really need something simple.  What happened to me was
that I was on an IRC when somebody obviously took my IP and attempted an
ftp access; he/she also tried to access swat on port 901.  What I am
looking for is not something which needs to work on its own, but only
something which would warn me 'ftp access attempt on port 21' or 'swat
access attempt on port 901' and offer to authorize it or not (this is what
ZoneAlarm did on my old MS box).  Alternatively, I how can I best
(remember - I am a total newbie at all this) block all my ports (except
http to browse) and open them only only when I need them (in my case
probably only ftp from time to time).

Sorry for the primitive question...

And thanks,

Andrei

It can export to mbox and they can be done file by file for each folder. I 
have ~50 folders (incl subfolders)
I noticed that other way if I use maildir format in Kmain is just to copy the 
directory contens from sylpheed to kmail directory 
'cur' or 'new'), also manual work work.
I just thought that maybe somebody has some more advanced ways of doing that 
like some scripts that would convert the whole set  'all in one'.

It was my understanding that GTK++1 and GTK++2 would co-exist OK.
ie two shared libraries foo.2.x.x.so and foo.1.x.x.so could both exist, and 
applications would use the library that they were linked against. My problem, 
as I understand it, is that I have GTK++2.0.6, and (the latest) Glade 
requires GTK++ 2.2.4 or better, and that GTK++2.2.4 would support any apps 
that were linked with GTK++2.x.x.

Am I deluded?

err, before it stopped working.

I know I upgraded the dreaded webmin lately, but I do not think I did anything 
with it. I do not even know how to try to do anything with the monstrosity. I 
do not think I am guilty. I uninstalled the old version of webmin and then I 
installed the new version. Then I uninstalled the new version of webmin and 
reinstalled it because I started getting bootup messages saying that some 
related samba conf file was missing. I do not get any warning or error 
messages anymore.

However, when I use the "Mandrakee Control Center rpmdrake" uninstall window 
to veiw the version of the installed webmin rpm I get "webmin-0.990-6.1.mdk" 
but when I use the install window of the "Mandrake Control Center rpmdrake" 
it tells me that the same package is installable.  I went and used the 
command line urpmi and did this:

urpmi --test webmin

I got the following message:

everything already installed

How should I proceed to get the network working again?

BTW, this is what the /etc/hosts file contains:

127.0.0.1   localhost.localdomain localhost


Thanx,

am able to connect. Can't figure that out. I will look at the sys logs
and see if I can tell what changed. I was also getting a comp shut down
when the screensaver goes blank. Anyone know what that might be? I
changed out my cpu fan and made sure it is running so will have to see
if that solves the problem, otherwise could it be bios or the APIC

As long as you've got another sound card, I'd avoid the onboard 
chip.  I have onboard snd-via82xx : VIA Technologies|VT82C686 
[Apollo Super AC97/Audio], and tho it works fine, it's a bit of a cpu 
and memory hog.

[newbie] IPTABLES manually

[Todd Slater]

I drop Nimda and Code Red infected computers with iptables, but if I
have to reboot, or if I use a gui like Firestarter, it starts fresh and
I lose those IPs from my rules.

If you have built a firewall manually with iptables, how do you get it
back when you reboot? I figure a script would do but I'm curious how
other people handle it.

[newbie] Trouble contacting DHCPD

[Bo Rosén]

I'm fairly inexperienced regarding networking, but wanted to try the
ltsp.
My would-be server is running Mandrake 9.0 and has an Internet
connection on eth0 with a fixed ip and I've tried setting up eth1 with
192.168.0.1 which seems fine so far, according to ifconfig.

I've installed the core and kernel packages for the project and set up

When I start dhcpd I get these messages. Is it a faulty nic or is it not

If you have IPTables installed as an rpm then it is a service.
It should not be a server.  It should be DLed (the source) along with the 
kernel source and recompiled.
Unless you have DLed the sources like this and reconfigured everything
yourself then it is installed as an rpm/server like he states.
Uninstall iptables/ipchains and then DLed/install the sources.  Its much
better and you can see the list of rules/chains with "iptables -L".  If
nothing is listed then nothing is loadedthis doesnt matter how you
have it installed.

Have you used UML?  It sure doesnt sound like it.

Its built into the kernel and it has its own filesystem and everything.

Hey - gave that up as a waste of time.  I'm pretty sure it was a war between 
Netscape and Mozilla, and there was no way I could stop them fighting.  
Netscape seems to have won, so I'm sticking with that until the next install.

It's worth noting, though - let others beware.

Konqueror will show .hiddenfiles in a tar if you select 'Show Hidden

is it possible to run msn messenger through a mandrake box ( gateway )

Or can I use a voice messenger client in linux to connect to my son who

I have a cable internet connection , and the linux box is the main and

phone calls are far too expensive.

any suggestions?

this is where you need to start looking at your system hardware
as devices, not names associated with description or function.
capacity becomes what it is, not 1m44 that oos decided so they
could keep things simple. ram memory management is another example
of short sided thinking, as is chs limits and lba, as is oos.

better. other oos is redundant.

if a device is considered as removable,
why not consider it as continual, also?
this is logic and reasoning allowed
by using unix and linux.

Anne 'Windows Update (win98)' is meant to go and see what's available. then 
the utility on your machine sorts what you have, and thus what to download.
I don't update my 98 at all. Just install my legacy progs and NEVER conect it
