Run drakxservices - you'll find MySQL in there already - but unticked
- so make sure it's ticked, click START and from now on, every time you
fire up your linux box (why would you shut it down?) it'll start as a
system service.

This seems to be somewhat problematic chip. I wrestled it last 
fall. Following instructions from the ALSA homepage to the

some games just remained silent or crashed (xmms and CD-player 
worked OK as well as KDE sound). It did not crash on my comp, 
fortunately.
As I am not really demanding about sound quality but wish

into my box. Works without a hitch.

But there must be more to this... The way I understand
it is ATI is better.  The only thing holding them back
on my decision here is support for Linux.  Now it
seems that isn't really an issue according to Jure?

I want the best image possible - but I also don't want

and give up on ATI before shelling out $150+???

Re: Re: [newbie] Mandrake 9.1 Installation problems

I have previously tried the most recent drivers. Makes absolutely no difference which
is why I stuck with the Mandrake supplied drivers this time around. I wanted to make
sure that there was no issue with using something that hadn't been proven to work and
I am pretty sure that the stock drivers supplied by Mandrake are working for most
others or there would be bug reports about them and I see no bug reports on Mandrakes
sites about it. Thanks for the suggestion though. Any others? Anybody see something
that I am missing in the log file?

The first thing to do is. Download the most recent X drivers from the nvidia
site. And follow the appropriate instructions for installing the driver into
the kernel.

Well apart from a warning about not being able to read your monitors 
capabilities from the hardware which could lead to not having many screen 
resolutions available your log shows that it all came up and ought to be 
working.
Is this a twin head card? could the display be on the other port?

To get X working you could use the Opensource nv driver.
Just edit the relevant parts of your XF86Config-4 like this :-

Section Module

Statistically, ATI has more probs with their drivers than Nvidia. You
*can* and I am quite sure, with the help of the people on this list,
esp Femme Fatale and Tom Brinkman, be able to get an ATI to work with
Linux, but as I say, Nvidia is a no-brainer, I have *never* had a single
prob with my various Nvidia cards, right from my old TNT2, my GF2, and
now my GF4 Ti. In *fact*, when I got my Ti, I just powered down, took
out the GF2, popped in the GF4 and I was good to go.

You are correct, ATI has implemented some pretty impressive features, so
if you want em that bad, and you're willing to risk doing a little
tweakin here and there, go for it. We'll be here for you.

Well, I won't, cuz I don't know shite about gettin ATI cards to work,

The open source community will never accept DRM, and will never build it

The worst case scenario, as you have pointed out, is still not very
attractive. That it will be *illegal* to produce software that is not
DRM enabled. 
Possible but unlikely. I can see a few ignorant/bought US senators going 
for it, but the EU? No way, especially with Germany's third largest city 
running Linux. So, for that matter, do the NSA and the Department of 
Homeland Security.

In that case, we will all become rebel outlaws, a position
I most heartily accept, as I know you do. Let me be a criminal. Let them
put me in prison for using a non-DRM-enabled OS on my PC. How many
prisons are they going to build? Are they going to put Linus Torvalds in
prison? The next Nelson Mandela, LOL, his arrest record would be hacked
out of existence in seconds, the entire judiciary would be shut down
within a day. To paraphrase a great man, they know not what they do,
and who is going to do it back to them IN SPADES...
The idea of Linus in prison, although far-fetched, is extremely amusing, 
as would be the backlash.  Most of the Internet runs on Apache, and if 
there's one thing Linux hackers know well, it's Apache.


Another thing to keep in mind though, the geeks are always one step
ahead of the technocrats. They simply do not understand what they are
dealing with. The last time they issued a challenge to crack their
digital watermark (that took them months to build), the data came back
cracked in under a day? And how long do you think it would take to get
around those encrypted e-mails?
Interesting.  Got a link?
The phone company has been combatting phreaks for how long now?
I didn't know phone phreaking was still going - I first read about it in 
the 1970s, and assumed it had been eclipsed by the Internet.

Microsoft does not have enough brains to figure out basic security after
over 30 years in operation. They will never outpace the hackers among
us.
Amen to that.  But I still think the important thing is the legit side - 
making alternatives, informing the public, fighting legal battles and so on.

  Maybe I wasn't clear enough. The latest version is in cooker and 
will only run on cooker 9.2.  Besides all those deps you got, you

you tried to satisfy those. If you were ever able to get done, 
you'd be runnin cooker 9.2. FWIW, and an example of current heavy 
development, urpmi-4.3-15mdk is now the old version, today's is 
urpmi-4.4-1mdk

   Originally I believe that's a fair complaint. But urpmi
  has been under heavy development and improvement. Latest
  version for the up coming 9.2 is urpmi-4.3-15mdk  and works
  very well. 
.There will always be more problems with 
  non-Mandrake packages tho. A lot of this due to improperly
  packaged rpms, not urpmi.   
.
  That's the main point I wanted to make. 3rd party or non-Mandrake 
packages/tarballs, specially closed source proprietary ones are 
gonna be a problem whether you use urpmi or not. You'll be better

Is this a twin head card? could the display be on the other port?

To get X working you could use the Opensource nv driver.
Just edit the relevant parts of your XF86Config-4 like this :-

Section Module
Load dbe # Double-Buffering Extension
Load v4l # Video for Linux
Load extmod
Load type1
Load freetype

You might like to try with this :

Section Device
Identifier device1
VendorName NVidia
BoardName NVIDIA GeForce4 (generic)
Driver nvidia
Option DPMS
EndSection


Previously, during installation, I selected and specified Opensource nv driver as well 
as opensource vesa driver with no glx or other additions, in each case the display 
fails to start x, and I actually end up with a completely garbled screen with weird 
ascii characters on it and a completely locked machine.  Mandrake does detect the 
Nvidia board and recommends the Geforce4 nvidia driver and the machine doesn't get 
locked up using it so that seems to be working better than opensource nv or vesa 
drivers.  I might try it again when I get back home anyway, just to be sure but I 
don't imagine that it will work better now, with a kernel patched for nvidia, than 
before when I chose those options during the original installation.

The other options are either stock additions from the Mandrake install or have been 
added due to the framebuffer issues.  For instance, the Nvagp option is to prevent agp 
from being used since there have been some reported problems with agpgart on kernels 
that have not been specifically patched for it.  I don't know whether mine has been 
patched for it or not but just turned it completely off in case it wasn't.  The 
ConnectedMonitor and IgnoreDisplayDevices options are there to prevent issues with 
long startup times as the driver tries to auto detect which display is connected to 
the card.  I have three connections on the card, a DVI port for LCD, a TV out and CRT 
analog connection.  I am using the CRT analog connection with standard 15 pin 
connector, so I disable DVI and TV in the options and specify that I am using the CRT 
option.

I have found one small possible issue, the Mandrake specification for viewsonic A90 
notes vertical of 50-180 Hz and the actual specification of the A90f (mine) is 50-150 
Hz.  I am going to alter that and try it again tonight but given that I tried lower 
resolutions that should have been under 150 Hz, I suspect that won't make much of a 
difference.  Also, display resolutions are being autodetected on the CRT and that 
should be correct, even if the config top ranges are out of whack.  Also, previously, 
I have specified unsupported ranges on the monitor and in each case I get a display 
error from the monitor itself telling me that the mode is unsupported by the monitor.  
I don't see such a message now so I suspect that this is not the issue.

Anyway, I will try your suggestions just to be sure.

 maybe, er, uh, Chris Rock? (Ya ever notice that for a 63 year old he
 ain't got very many wrinkles?)

You too could look like that if you were covered with a 'liberal' coating of

[newbie] Cleanup a failed install

2003-06-17 Thread Ralph Bagwell




I have now several suggestions and "howtos" on 
cleaning up my failed install from you kind people -many thanks - Seems that 
removing partitions for the Linux install is the answer - I am now doing what 
all said do - backing up to another drive on my LAN - 

I notice that Partition Magic offers the option to 
"Delete partition" - anything wrong with using that?

I am now wondering if I should somehow delete the 
LILO or can I just leave it . My next effort is to try to install Morphix to 
disk - it among others was the onlyversion that installed (the versions 
that workwholly from bootable CDs) and it offers desktop icon to 
install to disk - (perfect for a real newbie)

Re: [newbie] Cleanup a failed install

2003-06-17 Thread João Candido Araujo Milasch Filho




I'm sorry, i didnt saw the beggining of the 
discussion. But ill put my points here. when i do something that i mess up my 
system, and i want to reinstall it, i just put my installation cd, boot from it, 
use the same partitions for the new install, but i check the "format" option. 
so, before the file copy starts, the install program will format and clear the 
files.

when i dont want to reinstall, i do like you said. 
execute partition magic, delete the partitions where i've installed linux 
before, and resize my other OS partition or just live it for the next install. 


to clear out lilo from the boot, i just execute 
fdisk with the option "/mbr". If you are executing windows nt or nt technologies 
based windows, boot from a 98 floppy disk where you have fdisk.exe and execute 
the "fdisk /mbr". That will clear out lilo from the mbr.

i hope i helped

Re: [newbie] NTFS ?

2003-06-17 Thread eric huff

  I had the same problems as you did,Discdrake will not let
 you shrink the NTFS drive,this not a Linux problem.It's caused by XP
 building non-existent swap files on your Hard Drive,it does not matter
 how many times you run Defrag of Scandisk,it will not play.

The first time i installed, i had no trouble shrinkin it.  Latere, after 
getting rid of stuff in windows, (and haveing to reinstally ML9.1) 
diskdrake told me the partition was too fragmented to shrink.  As you, i 
had defragged many times.

Not sure why it behaved differently...

Rename the .kde folder in your home to something else. Next time you log into

need

 Can anyone lead me so I can google for the configure informations?

 The standard shorewall firewall in your computer can do traffic shaping to
 limit bandwidth.
 http://www.shorewall.net/traffic_shaping.htm
 However it needs to be enabled in the kernel as well. I am not sure if the
 stock Mandrake kernel has it. You might have to do a kernel recompile.

 As for accounting you could run a Squid proxy server which would have the
 benefit of speeding up Interet access for you both, and you can use the
logs
 from Squid for accounting. (There are packages which will process the logs
 for you) Run Privoxy at the same time and you can get rid of annoying
adverts
 and pop ups for her. Now thats worth paying for!
 http://www.squid-cache.org/
 http://www.privoxy.org/

 Squid and privoxy are both on your install CDs

 On the other hand you could just be nice to her and let her have free
access
 :-)

Beg to differ, Doug. I'm running Galeon 1.3.3 and they surely go to the
unassigned section of the list, under no folders. Have you make an
adjustment in the settings to cause yours to do this? It's been like
this for as long as I can remember, as it is in Mozilla, too.

T

  
  
In Mozilla 1.3.1 (and previous as far as I recall) if you want to save a 
bookmark for the current page; click "Bookmarks" then "File Bookmark 
Ctrl+Shift+D," highlight the directory you want in the new dialog, then 
click OK.

The bookmark goes to the general list if you just click "Bookmark This Page." 
Ctrl+D There's also "Manage Bookmarks." Ctrl+B

The last few release of GNOME have lost functionality/features and suck in my 
opinion.

Regards;
Charlie
  

A way of adding bookmarks in Mozilla that I have found to be easier is
to:

-press F9 to open the sidebar
-select the "Bookmarks" tab (will then be selected the next time you
open the sidebar)
-arrange the bookmarks by alpabetical orer by clicking "Name" until
satisfied (this only needs to be done the first time you manage your
bookmarks in this manner)
-scroll down to the folder in which you would like to place the bookmark
-drag the icon to the left of the URL in the address bar straight to
the folder
-press F9 to close the sidebar (or leave it open)

It is much easier to access the bookmarks in this way than it to use
the Bookmarks menu in the main window because of the alphabetical
sorting. Scroll down to what you want...click on the folder to open
it...click on the bookmark itself to go to the web page.

I don't know if this works in Galeon.

Well, honestly, what happened the first few times was i was just 
burning everything as a straight data Cd like i would for a windows 
program.  that caused me 2 days of problems.  to go along with that, 
i did move the iso images around on my hard drive and i'm sure that 
didn't help matters, winblows probably re-arranged some things on 
it's own for me.  thanks mr gates.

 
 how many hours have you spent with it??? { do i hear a snicker }
 

how many hours have i spent with what?  trying to get the Cds 
working right and a good install or how many hours have i spent 
playing around with mandrake?  the installi won't even attempt to 
count.  there were problems.  as far as playing with mandrake 
itself...i've been splitting my time between windows and mandrake.  
it's a slow transition for me, and i still have no clue how to set up the 
mail stuff (see another e-mail i sent out for details).


 in essence, had you run md5 first thing after download,
 you would have found problem at front end.
 
 i, and others, are at fault for not insisting that you run md5

i'd almost be willing to put money on the problem being the way i 
was burning the CDs.  hands down.  although next time i will do the 
checksum program and make sure everything is good before i go 
through hell again.

  If you are using windows you need to download a copy of winrar

  Extract the image to a tmp folder and you will then have an iso

 I don't understand this.  You're d/l'g .iso images from 
 Mandrake's site and W98 see them as .rar's?  Doesn't make any sense 
 at all. 

For about a year or so, WinRAR has a built-in ability to see and open
ISO files. Furthermore, if you don't change the default settings withing
after installing, double-clicking or 'running' and ISO frm the 'Run'
command line with actually start WinRAR and show and open the ISO image.
It won't hurt it to do so as long as you don't attempt to extract the
contents. 

 This from several year old memory, but I completely borked 
 my Mandrake install, and had to use W98 to d/l the Mandrake .iso's, 
 then used EZCD Creator to make CD's so I could get back to Linux.
 No problem.
 
 If you're really d/l'g   Mandrake91-cd1-inst.i586.iso  it isn't 
 a rar archive and winrar won't extract it.

Yes, it will extract it if you let it, and do so properly. Whether
Windows can accept and protect the long file names and naming
conventions used in the files that are not Windows-legal is doubtful.

   It just needs to be 
 burnt to a cd as an image, not a data file. .iso are just one type 
 of image file, audio CD's are another, any OS. As has already been 
 suggested, check the md5sum of the iso before, and the CD after 
 burning. If those check, and the CD won't boot, most likely it's a 
 hardware or configuration problem.

 If your sister connect to your Mini Internet Provider Switch, and the switch is a managable switch, I thinkyou can configure the switch to make it doing a bandwidth priority. I forgetthe name of thatparameter . The parameter has number startform 1 until256 (I think). I know this from CNAP class.
 Or if you are an Internet Provider I think you have proxy server. Maybe proxy server can make bandwidth priority too. I'm only guesting hee.. hee.. This is all I got.

 an FYI:  Win98  later will see ANY compressed image (.iso, .rar,

   W98 should see it as a compressed file. Any OS should recognize
an image file (such as .iso) as a compressed archive. They are.
.tar's aren't compressed, .tar.gz's are tho.
snip my point was that yes the OS is displaying its icons  stuff
