[newbie] Bad signatures in 9.2
Greetings all. For family reasons, I have been off the list (and rarely on the computer) for about ten weeks, and have just joined again. I wanted to try Mandrake9.2 so, before spending my hard-earned pension on the package, I have installed it from three magazine cover disks just to test. KPPP wasn't installed, so when I installed it from the CD, I got the error message that the signature was invalid. I ignored the message. I have downloaded and installed all the upgrades and they were without errors. However, if I try to install anything from the rediris contrib mirror, I get the Invalid Signature message on each package. But they will install if I ignore the message. I didn't get these errors with 9.1 My query is, are the errors likely to be caused by some file missing on the cover disks, or is it a known problem with 9.2? I can't find anything in the archives about it. What do I need to do to overcome this little problem, or do I just always ignore it? Otherwise, I am very impressed with 9.2 and will save up my pennies for the package version!!! Many thanks for any help. Keith Want to buy your Pack or Services from MandrakeSoft?

[newbie] using a shortcut to gain access to a PPOE connection to the internet
Greetings all, I am using a PPOE connection to the Internet. The connection works perfectly, however, I would like to create a shortcut on my desktop that initializes the connection. So far the only way that I can create the connection is through: Configure Your Computer ( Mandrake Control Center, which requires root access ) -- Network Internet -- DrakConnect -- and Pushing the connect button in the dialogue window. Subsequently, another method is to create the connection in a manner that accesses the connection at boot up. Which, takes a very long time in my opinion. Does anyone know of a way to create a shortcut to a specific connection profile on the desktop, without having to use root access and without loading the connection at boot.

This is easier and more likely to succeed than writing to the standard, because MS doesn't always get it right. In my view, as a software engineer, sending a CACHE_FLUSH command to a CDROM is a bug. But if the standard allows it then it is sort-of reasonable. Destroying the device when it receives that command however is a much larger bug.

Sounds more like a DHCP issue than a hardware issue. Who's handing out the IP's? Do you have your own DHCP server running on a router/firewall, or is it your ISP? IIRC, DHCP servers have a setting, TTL (Time To Live), and if you boot into and out of the two OS's, each needing an IP, the DHCP server may be assuming one is already assigned and not handing one out, hence if you unplug the cable, the server senses a new host on the network and dutifully hands out an IP. If you *do* boot into Mandrake and don't get an IP, you should be able to get it going with (as root): service network restart what does it show in /etc/sysconfig/network-scripts/ifcfg-eth0? you should have something like this: DEVICE=eth0 BOOTPROTO=dhcp NETMASK=255.255.255.0 ONBOOT=yes -- HaywireMac ++ ICQ # 279518458 Registered Linux user #282046 Homepage: www.orderinchaos.org ++ Mandrake HowTo's More: http://twiki.mdklinuxfaq.org ++ Rule of Life #1 -- Never get separated from your luggage.

[newbie] networking two computers.
Hello, I am trying to connect two computers together and share an internet connection. I have been reading over and over again the two following documents: http://www.mandrakeuser.org/docs/connect/cmlan.html http://www.mandrakeuser.org/docs/connect/cmlan2.html but despite my best efforts and many tries, I am not sure what I am doing wrong. Sol runs Mandrake 9.2, has two ethernet cards, one connected (eth1?) to the internet via adsl. Terra runs Mandrake 9.1, has one ethernet card connected to Sol via a crossover cable. on both Sol and Terra, I have: # cat /etc/hosts 127.0.0.1 localhost 10.0.0.10 sol.lan sol 10.0.0.11 terra.lan terra On Sol, I have: # route -n Kernel IP routing table Destination Gateway Genmask Flags Metric Ref Use Iface 201.131.41.10 0.0.0.0 255.255.255.255 UH0 0 0 ppp0 10.0.0.0 0.0.0.0 255.255.255.0 U 0 0 0 eth0 191.161.1.0 0.0.0.0 255.255.255.0 U 0 0 0 eth1 127.0.0.0 0.0.0.0 255.0.0.0 U 0 0 0 lo 0.0.0. 201.131.41.10 0.0.0.0 UG0 0 0 ppp0 I have tried to run the networks configuration wizards on both machines, but I am still very confused as to what IP address I should enter where.

IIRC, DHCP servers have a setting, TTL (Time To Live), and if you boot into and out of the two OS's, each needing an IP, the DHCP server may be assuming one is already assigned and not handing one out, hence if you unplug the cable, the server senses a new host on the network and dutifully hands out an IP. It would be good to tell us all the hardware. Sorry if i missed it from before. Is it just cable/dsl modem and the computer? If that's the case, i would think that shutting down (after halting, turn turn the computer power off) would accomplish the same as unplugging the cable, as far as the modem is concerned. You might also just switch to static ips, if you are behind a firwewall, and set ti to the same number for each OS. eric -- Mandrake HowTo's More: http://twiki.mdklinuxfaq.org Want to buy your Pack or Services from MandrakeSoft?

Well, for one if you need to get your network up and running, get into mcc(mandrake control center) and run the wizard. That way it'll stick after a reboot.

It emulates the windows api and allows windows programs to run under Linux. There are other programs that actually allow windows to run under linux. Win4Lin and VMware are these kinds of programs. Win4Lin is the cheaper option of you only need the Win9x (including WinME) at $89. VMware costs about $300 but actually creates a virtual PC and allows you to run just about any operating system. Both are commercial programs and you need to own a valid license for Windows too. With Wine you don't need a windows license. I personally use Win4Lin and I highly recommend it.

[newbie] Kmail signatures revisited
Hi Guys I asked this some time ago, and I think Derek kindly offered a solution, however cannot lay my hands on it at the moment. I use 'cat fortune' to add a signature to the end of any email I compose. Is it possible to also use a .sig file as well as fortune, so I end up with the folowing, or similar: -- Mark Annandale Mandrake 9.2 - KMail 1.5.3 -- The sum of the Universe is zero.

I've looked at several Linux email clients, and I've yet to find anything that even comes close to The Bat in terms of overall mail management/interface, filter and template power, or composition (TB! has many useful plain text editing options that I haven't seen in any of the Linux clients I've looked at or tried so far). I've also asked around on some Bat user's mail lists, and *all* of the Linux users say that they've never seen any Linux email client that comes close in these areas that are important to me (and to them). For those with high expectations with regards to email clients, while they might use Linux for many things, they still keep Windows around so they can use TB for their email. Others have said that the *only* reason they're reluctant to make a complete switch to Linux from Windows is not being able to run TB natively on Linux. What I really wish for is to have The Bat ported to Linux, so that all of us can benefit from this amazing email client! :-) I've been told that since The Bat is written in Delphi, it shouldn't be too difficult to port it to Linux (and yes...I've written to the TB developers asking them to do this). I just hope it can happen soon. I'm pretty happy with Knode as a news reader (haven't yet tried slrn or others), but I'm having a real hard time getting used to what I feel are pretty major downgrade issues moving from The Bat to any of the Linux clients I've seen so far.

Hi all.
I finally got 9.2 installed yesterday. It has so many changes it's
almost like learning a new distro. I'm sure I'll have many questions in
the coming weeks, but for now my question is: How do I connect to the
Internet from my desk top. At this point my only choice is to open the

The odds are that if you're configured to use email in MDK you already have Postfix installed. :-) :-) This brings me to another question or two... Where do I find it? Run webmin (you might need to be root first). You might be able to go here and login as rot: https://localhost:1/ Postfix is in the servers tab. If webmin doesn't come up, then you'll need to start it, and probably want it to run at bootup, anyway.

I always use rp-prpoe instead of drakconnect. You'll need
rp-pppoe-gui-3.5-3mdk
rp-pppoe-3.5-3mdk
(those are on a 10.0 system, you might have older versions on
your CD's. They may have even already been installed.)
After those are installed, run (as root) 'adsl-setup' which
asks you about 6 or 7 questions. It's very easy. Then (as root)
run 'tkpppoe'. That should bring up a little GUI, already
configured for your connection. Click on the tabs on top and
about all you need to change is to check the box by allow use by
non-root users.
When you installed rp-pppoe-gui it should have added a menu
item under Networking | Remote access | Tkpppoe Clicking on
that will start the GUI, with Start, Stop, Exit buttons. You
should be able to start your connection as user by clicking on
Start. There's a little window in the upper left that turns green
when you're connected, turns yellow under data load. If you want
a desktop icon all you need to do is create one pointing
to /usr/bin/tkpppoe . I just start it from the menu, and after
the connection is made, minimize it to the taskbar.
You might wanna watch it for a little while, just under the
little 'green' window there's a moving graph, and numerical
readouts of up and down speeds. 'Course if you minimize it to
the task bar you can bring it back up at any time to check
connection speed.
Now that's all from memory, so before you start, after the
rpms are installed, paste file:/usr/share/tkpppoe/tkpppoe.html
into any browser and read the docs. They're very clear and
simple, even has screen shots ;) If you want even more info

Open up kmix (or aumix) and check your sound levels. Mine defaulted to have the main and pcm volumes turned all the way down. Turn them up and you should be set.

[newbie] kdm
hi, Could someone tell me what the %^*^% is happening with KDM. It won't log me in at all. It is the one from the updates, and is still not working at all. It also seems to be a step backwards from the 9.1 (KDE) login manager. I am certainly a KDE fan but I just can't get KDM working... I have to keep trying about 10x before it slips me to a terminal so I can startx. Any clues greatly appreciated. Cheers Anton Want to buy your Pack or Services from MandrakeSoft?
