You didn't do anything wrong. Linux has a complex system of permissions, attatched to every file folder and device, it sound to me as though you tried to do this as a user, not as root. Just log out , in the user box type root, give password, and then you will arrive at a root desktop, and proceed. You can also type su into a terminal and give the password for root, and then from a root terminal you can call up a text editor. Are you quite sure the jumpers on the back of your writer/rom are set to master, and your device is on ide2 line. Absolutely 100% positive. just put a second hard drive in last week. the origonal set up had the CDRW drive and origonal hard drive on the secondary IDE channel, CDRW as master, hard drive as slave. i put both hard drives on the primary IDE channel and set them to master and slave as needed. well, that's actually not 100% true...ASUS tech support told me to make them both CS to get the system to boot up. and it worked. then they both got switched back in order for win98 to work while installing the 2nd hard drive, and then i did the install of md9.1. i know i'm going way too much into more detail than necessary (and have a habit of doing so), but hey, it's better than me saying uhhh, yeah, uhhh, i think so. It's always better to give too much detail than not enough. The only comment here that I can think of is either have both ide lines with devices set CS on the jumpers, (meaning the position on the ide cable determins the authority, ie Cable Selects) or, as I prefer , choose which device is master and which slave. I do it that way so I'm in charge and absolutely certain which way round things are.I guess I distrust chips and software to get things right. while we're on the subject of editing the fstab file, i've got something else that needs done along the same lines. when i finally went and installed md9.1, i had my 20gb hard drive partitioned 2 ways, 5g and 15g (md9.1 is on the 15g partition), and had my 100g hard drive partitioned 5 ways. well, i didn't have one of the partitions on the 100g hard drive set up fully before installing md9.1, so i had to go about that later. i got every other hard drive partition to show and be fully accessable from linux except that last one. here's the hard drive listings in fstab /dev/hda1 /mnt/win_c vfat iocharset=iso8859-1,codepage=850,umask=0 0 0 /dev/hdb1 /mnt/win_c2 vfat iocharset=iso8859-1,codepage=850,umask=0 0 0 /dev/hdb5 /mnt/win_d vfat iocharset=iso8859-1,codepage=850,umask=0 0 0 /dev/hdb6 /mnt/win_e vfat iocharset=iso8859-1,codepage=850,umask=0 0 0 /dev/hdb7 /mnt/win_f vfat iocharset=iso8859-1,codepage=850,umask=0 0 0 /dev/hdb8 /mnt/windows vfat defaults 0 0 none /proc proc defaults 0 0 as you notice, /dev/hdb8/mntwindows is the one i'm having problems with. so once i figure out how to get write permission for the fstab file, would i change that last one to /dev/hdb8/mnt/win_g vfat iocharset=iso8859-1,codepage=850,unmask=0 0 0 It hardly matters what the partition ( let me call it a partition for clarity, as you have more than one harddrive) is called , you can give it any name you like in fstab , so long as you create a mount point in /mnt directory of the same name. so if you want to call /dev/hdb8 /mnt/win_g then go ahead and do it, but make sure you also have a /mnt/win_g in /mnt directory. To do this either, 1) navigate via /home to / , then to /mnt and in the window space rightmouse click , down to, create new directory, name it and press enter. or, In a root terminal , type, mkdir /mnt/win_8 enter then to check your work, cd (means change directory) /mnt enter then , lsand a list of directories in /mnt will be displayed. Also, while at it, in your example , /dev/hdb8/mnt/win_g vfat, etc etc, their ought to be a space between /dev/hdb8 space /mnt/win_g vfat, etc etc. It looks to me that you don't have one. Great care with the nomenclature of fstab is very important. you may ask, why partition the 20gb and 100gb hard drives so many ways? No need to appologise , I do the same myself. It's handydandy to have spare partitions. It beats me why so many people have just one partition for a

RE: [newbie] Hit counter for a web page.
Dennis, the only part of the stats counter that needs to be apache.apache is the directory were the stats, ips and counts and archives are stored.. because the web server needs to be able to write to those directories.. everything else should just be owned by your user.. so, to to the parent dir of the directory where you put the counter files. and do this: chown -R apache.apache counter (where counter is the dir with all the stats files and dirs in it.) The most important part of installing cgi scripts is checking the error logs when it fails. so the following command might help: tail /var/log/httpd/error_log It will tell you what the problem is. Other things to check.. 1. Did you edit it on a windows machine?? if so, you will need to see if it added windows return chars, if so, you need to remove them, install dos2unix and run it on the files. 2. Did you upload as binary or ascii? perl is just text files so can't be binary. 3. as a way of improving your chances, change all the perl .pl files to 777. chmod 777 *.pl in the dir where you saved the stats counter script file. 4. some webservers are not setup for .pl perhaps you should try changing it to .cgi let me know how it goes and I will help as I may. rgds Franki -Original Message- From: [EMAIL PROTECTED] [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] Behalf Of Dennis Myers Sent: Sunday, 6 July 2003 10:48 AM To: [EMAIL PROTECTED] Subject: Re: [newbie] Hit counter for a web page.

[newbie] Multiboot using BRUB
Hi, First THANKS to members giving me pointers and site addresses while I was learning GRUB.(Still learning) This is for members new to linux GRUB. This is a WONDERFULL bootloader - (LILO is fine.) If you start to understand its workings you can produce magic with it. Make a GRUB bootdisk - copy your HD menu.lst to it. Now your MBR on your first HD/or whatever with the list may get wiped/corrupted(sometimes it even do not need any reason at all) and you can still boot any of your OS'ses on any partition/drive from this bootdisk with no problem - it will seem it is from HD. If you have to make a choice - choose GRUB.

[newbie] tricking linux to accept changed partition
Hi, This is for experimentation. Setup : 2 HD's - hde hdg .Mdk9.0 on second HD - hdg6 Remove drive one. Using GRUB bootdisk - booting hdg6 which is now changed to hde6. Before this (after file backup) I edited the fstab that the references to the previous partiton hdg6 now is hde6.(Wel I think it should be hde - I have no way to find out- no system running) When booting I edit the references in this menu-option to refer to (hd0,5) hde6. It boots fine untill it displays : kernel panic . No init found. Try passing init=options to kernel. Ok if all is normal this line should read INIT : version xxx Well even before this some other errors creep in - like from mounting reiserfs it becomes a lot of errors.(If mounting failed then no file can be found?) OK this is absolutely new ground to me - know nothing about kernel parrams/etc. When this happened the first time I did the fstab changes hoping this wil trick the kernel. (ha-ha). System search revealed several int files/directories several places. Cat the one in /etc/sysconfig/init refers to colors and some stuff but no partition. When does fstab come in while booting. I also tried mapping but only one drive - map to what?. It is easy to trick DOS. It seems that a lot more or not possible to trick linux. Maybe there is to much involved that makes linux drive and partition specific. If this means a major overhaul it will not be worth the effort. Like a new install or whatever if this situation arises. Please what else need be edited or whatever to make this work?. Maybe I am expecting to much? Johan May this be a good day for learning Want to buy your Pack or Services from MandrakeSoft?

Re: [newbie] root
OK this can be done - but I think - if you knew how you would probably not do it - you can compromise your system to bad people.(Do not even think it will NOT happen to you) I now it is a hassle to to use console and you would rather use GUI. I asume that you are new to this according to your question. Here is some suggestions to avoid that. Change to console. Use su then password or su - (with a minus)then password - the last one makes the root environment available. Should you like GUI (like in home on your screen) type konqueror - there now you can move around in your system like root. Can open files by right clicking and using open with...a lot of editors available. Should you like to to edit a file in console- move to the directory then like .. gedit foo.conf ( or any other text editor ..kwrite and more) you can edit/print/save/whatever like root. while you are in console-root you may move/access any directory or file - now again do not access files you do not know what they do - you can make your system in-operable. Now when you close console all root privileges are gone and system safe.

[newbie] multimedia player running and i can't stop it
i really did a number here. somehow i accidentily added every single file from my mswin hard drive to the noatun media player playlist. well, in trying to remove everything from the playlist, the computer started bogging down BAD. i closed the media player, restarted the computer. got back into linux, the media player starts up as soon as i get to the desktop (which i've noticed it will if i leave it open when i shut down), but i can't access it or see it on the tool bar or anything to stop it and remove all the files that were accidentily added. so, uhhh, can anyone help me? thanks.

This is a Packard Bell C-3UP 3button scrollwheel optical mouse. Currently available here in UK from PC World @ £9.99 each, while stocks last. So far it works well with M8.1, M9.0, and M9.1 , in both serial port and usb mode, though I prefer to use the serial port connection as it would otherwise use up a valuable usb socked. I don't really consider speed as an issue with a mouse. So unless anyone can suggest a solid reason to use a valuable usb socket for the purpose of a mouse I'm sticking with it in serial port mode. John I am pushing cordless mouses of all types these days, the PITA of corded mouses has made me crazy the last time, and fully agree with optical as the better choice in terms of use over time, but have not settled on a particular name brand as best, but i like logitec, for my self. Personally I'm not much interested in cordless, a standard cable optical scrollwheel mouse is fine enough for me. I looked at the latest logitech but couldn't get a decent deal here in the UK and as I wanted 6 as a minimum , that was that. But I cannot complain, I've just this afternoon installed another Packard bell C-3UP and they seem just fine so far. It's early days.

Re: [newbie] How cool!
Stephen; FYI,...Wallabees are shoes in Canada, not animals. About cooling your case, HP started fabricating plenums ( square or rectangular tubes made of plastic or metal that usually act as a path for air to travel -ie; in air conditioning systems in large buildings) for many of their newer cases. These plenums are hard-mounted inside the case and extend from just above the CPU to the back of the case where they expel warm air through a grill. Most of them have an additional fan mounted inside, and attached where the plenum meets the back of the case. These fans help the CPU fan by sucking air out of the case as the CPU fan picks up the warm air from the CPU. I thought you might want to know in case you have some materials on-site that you can use to duplicatre this. If you get a chance to look inside an HP pavilion desktop PC, you should see what I'm talking about. Hope the info helps (?)

Ok if all is normal this line should read INIT : version xxx Well even before this some other errors creep in - like from mounting reiserfs it becomes a lot of errors.(If mounting failed then no file can be found?) OK this is absolutely new ground to me - know nothing about kernel parrams/etc. When this happened the first time I did the fstab changes hoping this wil trick the kernel. (ha-ha). System search revealed several int files/directories several places. Cat the one in /etc/sysconfig/init refers to colors and some stuff but no partition. When does fstab come in while booting. I also tried mapping but only one drive - map to what?. It is easy to trick DOS. It seems that a lot more or not possible to trick linux. Maybe there is to much involved that makes linux drive and partition specific. If this means a major overhaul it will not be worth the effort. Like a new install or whatever if this situation arises. Please what else need be edited or whatever to make this work?. Maybe I am expecting to much? Johan May this be a good day for learning Could it be that GRUB is looking for the /boot (initrd and vmlinuz) directory that was on the drive you removed? It is actually more likely that it is looking for itself on hdg, which doesn't exist anymore, because it exists now as hde. boot to rescue mode and try to find a /boot/grub/install.sh script. Review it and make sure everything is pointed at the right place, edit as necessary, and then run it with './install.sh' This should repoint grub at all the correct locations. -- /g Outside of a dog, a man's best friend is a book, inside a dog it's too dark to read -Groucho Marx Want to buy your Pack or Services from MandrakeSoft?

Hi all, I installed Mandrake 9.1 a couple of months ago on a dual-boot system along with Windows 98. It worked quite well so far, but still it is more configuring and learning than actually /using/ it... I have been lurking a bit on this list via KMail, although I feel a bit slain by the sheer amount of messages coming in, most of them not in the least newbie for me... ;-) Internet connection worked, however. *s* Now I installed Shorewall to control my ins and outs.

Re: [newbie] No connection via Linux
If you installed by RPM then you can remove shorewall with urpme shorewall in a root terminal. I am not sure what the one-interface.tar.gz you installed is. Where did you find it? Shorewall will be installed automatically if you ask the Mandrake Control Centre to set up a firewall for you. The Mandrake Control Centre however has a habit of mixing up which interface is the Internet, and which the local network, especially with ADSL. If you look in /etc/shorewall/interfaces you can confirm which interface is which. derek On Sunday 06 Jul 2003 4:36 pm, meynsweb wrote: Hi all, I installed Mandrake 9.1 a couple of months ago on a dual-boot system along with Windows 98.

Not that much . I actually have automount with some eliments of supermount running at the same time, at the moment on my M9.1, as my xcdroast likes it better, and I can have desktop icon access to the cd's in the drives as well . I also find xcdroast loads and runs much quicker that way. It's nothing I can explain. But first try removing scsi-em and see what that does.

RWs can be a problem for any comp that did not write them. So I suggest that you take say the 3rd install cd and put that in and mount it. But before you do that check that the icon has the correct mapping. Do that by right clicking on the icon and select properties. You should see the nonmntcdrom or the mount script for fstab. You can create a new icon by right clicking on an empty spot on your desktop and selecting create new CDDVDrom device and then click the drop down and you will see the fstab list. select the corresponding cdrom device.

[newbie] Module Dependencies?
I tried to install Mandrake 9.1 which I downloaded off of various FTPs listed on the www.mandrakelinux.com website a few days ago. The install went smoothly, just about everything was working except my sound card (according to the installation program), but when I restarted it stuck on Checking Module Dependencies or something similar (I can't remember what it was exactly, but Module Dependencies does stand out in my mind). Now, I told it to boot the GUI automatically and I only installed off of three CDs am I missing some? I have a redhat distrib. with about 6 CDs and that worked fine for me. So basically, how do I get this distrib to boot? What have I done wrong this time? Thanks for any help you may be able to give me including something like stick with windows you moron! ;) Brian Want to buy your Pack or Services from MandrakeSoft? Go to http://www.mandrakestore.com

Now delete the old names in /mnt. Your case - use win_c - now test this first before editing fstab You may also use fdisk -l /dev/hda to check that you have your info correct. mount -t vfat /dev/hda1 /mnt/win_c The type must be correct (vfat, etc). This should work and you should now use mount and will see this partition displayed with the rest.(at bottom) I only make changes in fstab and I have no problems.

Re: [newbie] recognizing Windows
quoting Curt Tresenriter; Sunday 06 July 2003 02:48 pm: whack Also; if the Windows drive (C:) is hda1 why did you add it as hda8? If you want to read the contents as a user instead of root it may help to add user in the fstab too. Not really on that BOOM! thing, but I did want to get your attention. g =-o I'm listening! I was confusing the /mnt/win partition with the actual C: Got it all straight now. Thanks, Curt :-) Welcome. But you did catch it yourself before I posted anything. (-: d'uh mode I've noticed that a lot of Windows refugees, and quite a number of those that are still dual booting Windows, have trouble with a logical drive naming convention as opposed to what they're used to. Repeat after me: Windows is stupid! The first hard disk drive (HDD) or partition on that drive is always called C:. The second HDD, or the first partition on the second HDD is always called D:. The second, third and subsequent partitions or drives are called D:, E:, F: and so on and live on the first drive. GNU/Linux uses Unix style naming. The first drive is hard drive a (hda), the second hdb, the third hdc, and so on. Partitions are numbered on individual drives; i.e.: hda1, hda2hdb1, hdb2... and so on. Further partition naming in distributions such as Mandrake are based on their usage. Such as / for root, var for (system) variable, usr for user variable.guess what /home and /swap are for? g Which makes more sense to *you?* Sorry for the Well D'UH! posts everyone. /d'uh mode Regards; Charlie -- Edmonton,AB,Canada Registered user 244963 at http://counter.li.org Mandrake 9.1 Bamboo (cooked) 15:41:06 up 18 days, 20:58, 1 user, load average: 0.09, 0.08, 0.08 Fishing, with me, has always been an excuse to drink in the daytime. -- Jimmy Cannon Want to buy your Pack or Services from MandrakeSoft?
