[newbie] Modem Question
Hello to the group. I am pretty new to Linux. I have an old computer laying around that I would like to convert into a linux machine. It is a Dell Dimension L550r (PIII 550mhz) It came with a winmodem installed (Which no longer works). I am looking to replace the modem with a linux compatible modem, But I am having a hard time finding anything online. Can anyone recommend a good internal and/or external modem that would be compatible with Linux and my computer? And where to get it? I appreciate any input.Thanks and Best RegardsBill M[EMAIL PROTECTED]

Well, I actually have such software for Windows, at least, I think that I probably do on some CD backup someplace, I don't use it now but was very into experimenting with the different video formats at one time and did some custom editing of disks just to see how it worked. I am not aware of any such software for Linux although I would be the first to admit that I could be out of touch, with no DV Camera, there simply is not much call for me to mess with video editing tools except out of technical curiosity and I think that I quenched that pretty much with my previous experimentation. -- Bryan Phinney Software Test Engineer Want to buy your Pack or Services from MandrakeSoft?

As I said, any software, including, say, windows cd-rewriting software might use the call. Remember that these drives haven't been around long, so there may not have been enough cases yet for it to be recognised for what it is - after all we are used to horrific problems in windows, so it wouldn't be worth a comment. Maybe I'm being unfair, but I don't think so. The next few weeks will tell. Second - do recognise that Mandrake is a cutting-edge distro. People like it because it gives them the latest and greatest. That makes it inevitable that if something really weird happens, like an ATAPI drive that turns out not to be ATAPI-compliant, Mandrake has a high chance of being the first one to fall foul of it. Lastly, These drives are not ATAPI-compliant, and they are sold as such. In the UK that is an offence, under the Trade Descriptions Act. I would be surprised if that were not so elsewhere. As for convincing your friends, I'm sure you now know enough to make sure that you know whether they have a drive likely to be affected. You know how to guard against it by installing the patch. Once again, it is demonstrated that problems with Linux are identified quickly. In this case a software work-around was provided for the time it took to get LG to publish the fix.

[newbie] Freezing under 9.2 installation
Hi, First I downloaded Mandrake 9.2 from rawtree. I tried to install it, after download, and got freeze when it was installing packages. The freeze I get is complete freeze at a random time, I need to reset the system from the reset button. I tried to change settings on the BIOS and got freeze again. I have a PCI IDE RAID card. So I removed it to see if it would stop freezing, bot got no success. I thought it was a rawtree problem. So, I just downloaded the public ISO, and got the same problem. Two times I got success installing 9.2 by keep moving my mouse until the package install complete. But when I start to use the system, it freezes at random time. Anyone can tell me what can I do to find out what is happening. When I install slackware I got no problems. The system I have is: Athlon XP 1800+ mobo Asus A7N8X-X (nforce2 chipset, no dual channel support) 512 MB of generic 333 MHz DDR memory 3 HDD (40 GB Seagate, 26 GB Quantum, 20 GB Samsung) TV Tunner Generic Card (Philips SAA730 chip) MSI Geforce FX 5600 256 MB 3Ware IDE Raid card MSI CD-Writer (this one I always use to install) LG DVD Drive (due to that issue, I never installed using it). Well, I hope I can get help. Mandrake is the system I really like, and I need to use Linux to my pos-graduation works. Thanks all

I would assume that you would explain it the same way in that instance as you would in the instance that they are using an unsupported modem, scanner, RAID controller card, sound card, etc. How is an unsupported drive any different? In fact, it is better in this instance in that a firmware upgrade will create a supported device. Much better than for a RAID card or scanner that is totally unsupported and never will be supported. If they are looking for something that is foolproof and involves no reasonable effort or accommodation, I would humbly suggest that you might be doing them a disservice by promoting Linux to them. -- Bryan Phinney Software Test Engineer Want to buy your Pack or Services from MandrakeSoft?

They should not have to do that. yes, but assuming those drives only break for Mandrake, maybe not even other distros nor windows .. then some could (reasonably imo) argue that the hardware is okay and it's Mandrake's fault. I'm just thinking how I'm going to explain this to somebody I might promote linux to: how can I explain that it's his hardware's fault when he sees it working right?

What I was referring to was creating the ifo files with thumbnails that allow you to create the cool menus that come on commercial DVD's. The ones where you can go through and see thumbnails of different chapters and select the ones that you want to start with, or the different special features, etc. In order to do that kind of thing, you need to have an editor that creates the ifo files necessary to support that and then you have to have a directory structure to store the thumbnails and link them to the particular menu entry. I have done some of that kind of thing on Windows, just when I was learning about DVD and VCD file formats but I have not done that on Linux. BTW, I have added a section on the twiki that covers DVD Drives in general, I think that it should at least point people in the right direction and tell them where to find tools. http://mandrake.vmlinuz.ca/bin/view/Main/DVDDrives You can also find this off of the hardware compatibility topic. Also, I have included a link to some scripts that are supposed to create the DVD-Video structure from a video file and burn it to disk. Lastly, XcdRoast claims to have experimental support for authoring DVD-Video, I haven't tried it and my own experience with XcdRoast for DVD has been mixed, but it might be worth a shot. -- Bryan Phinney Software Test Engineer Want to buy your Pack or Services from MandrakeSoft?

Re: [newbie] MDK9.1 on P100/32Mbyte - SOLVED
I managed to install and run MDK9.1 on a P100 with 64Mbyte RAM and a 300Mbyte Conner HD. I found out that the problem I had with the installation program crashing was apparently due to the kernel turning DMA on for my drive. I solved this passing the "ide=nodma" argument on the linux command line (you get there by typing the F1 key at spash screen). I'm using this system only as an mp3 player (only text tools). CPU usage is around 30% while decoding, swap space (30Mb) is never used, installation takes approx 150Mbyte of disk. I'll try to reduce RAM to 32Mbyte or less, to speed up the bios boot. Keep trying, it can be done :-) raffaele [EMAIL PROTECTED] wrote: I tried to install 9.1 on an old P100 with 32Mbyte of RAM and 370Mb HD. I used text-install, selected no packages.

Re: [newbie] do 9.2 isos contain the fix for lg cdroms?
Joeb wrote: Anarky wrote: any idea if the downloadable isos can still break cdroms or if they have a fixed version? The ftp ISO images (as do the boxed sets) still contain the code that can break a defective LG CD-ROM (not CDRW or DVD). I believe this was so there wouldn't be multiple version of Mandrake 9.0 floating around which would make bug fixes/troubleshooting pretty difficult (plus the CDs were already burned before the bug surfaced). The good news is that Mandrake has a link to the fix on LG's web site. The link, with a warning, is on the page that lists the various ftp sites for downloading the 9.2 ISOs. In my opinion, it could have been made more noticable, but it is there, none the less. The other good news, is that even if someone fries their LG CDROM, the link includes instructions on how to fix it after the fact. I haven't had an opportunity to try the fix (I don't use LG CDROMs), but I have downloaded the fix and all, so that if I install Mandrake on somebody's computer that has it, I can upgrade the firmware before installation. Hope that helps, yep, thanks. Want to buy your Pack or Services from MandrakeSoft? Go to http://www.mandrakestore.com

This is much tougher. There are several video editing packages out on the net, none of which I am familiar with since I don't own a DV camera. There is a project to create a DVD-Video authoring GUI called DVD-Create, but it is not in a stage where there is an actual tool to use. Copying existing DVD's is easier and there are tools for that but I don't know of any that exist currently for Linux. Also, since a lot of these types of tools require licensing from the guys that have patents on the industry standards, like MPAA and others, finding Linux developers for them can be tough. Many of the tools that are necessary to work with DVD Video would effectively be illegal under the DMCA since editing tools, by definition, can be used to bypass copy protection schemes. This would probably be one of those things that would cause me to suggest newbies should maintain a dual-boot scenario, at least currently. Hopefully, the DVD-Create project will move along and make that unnecessary at some point. Of course, there might be a budding cinematographer on the list that knows more than I do. -- Bryan Phinney Software Test Engineer Want to buy your Pack or Services from MandrakeSoft?

MUCH better Idea to have a separate box for firewall/router, and keep files on and inside box... Mandrakes mnf 'should' *be the ticket* for that firewall box, and 9.1 or 9.2 is fine for the fileserver. Actually the firewall _is_ IPtables, and is at the kernel level and shorewall is a configuration tool. keep shorewall fully configured on the file server toojust in case, and since there is no real noticeable negative. can't be too safe with your data.

You need to click the Module Config link on the Apache tab and tell it to use the correct httpd.conf file instead of httpd2.conf. My guess would be that you have both Apache 2 and Apache 1.3 installed but are running 1.3.

Do I really need to know about every one of these stray packets? Two solutions. The easy one is to remove the 'info' from the entries in /etc/shorewall/policy That will kill all shorewall logging of dropped packets. The second solution for those with plenty of time is to edit /etc/syslog.conf so that shorewall info log entries are not put into syslog and instead go in a different log.
