Take a look over there (www;linuxant.com), you can get a free 30day trial to check if it (wrappers using windows drivers on linux) works for you. That way, at least you'll be able to connect to your LAN using ad-hoc mode and if you like it: donate a few $'s for the trouble they took. I suppose one should be able to get the card working with native linux drivers but I haven't had the heart to get to work on it, it's not worth it. On the whole one is better off selling the card to somebody else (a winders or non-choosy user) and buying a prism2 chipped card. Be it windows or linux they simply offer better performance aka realtek is pushing shoddy stuff again:( The prism2 card can be used as an accesspoint (linux only) if wanted and offers a "monitor" mode option.it's simply more value for money. There's probably more good hardware out there I'm not mentioning, but I wasn't planning on testing them all. The atmel chipsets work under linux for instance but aren't to my personal liking either.poor performance and no tools.

Re: [newbie] PCMCIA Problems, Mandrake 9.2.
I have done as instructed and there was no output. My system must not even know that I inserted the wireless card. I took a screen capture of my system setup in windozs, if that might provide some insight on the situation. http://web.mit.edu/jobevers/www/linux/system.snapshot.jpg Thanks. Job Before inserting your card open a terminal and as su/root type "tail -f /var/log/messages". Then insert the card and see what the output says about it. That way you (and us too) will have more of an idea what might wrong. If it says "non supported card" it's time for some googling. It's a cardbus device so you should be getting references to PCI devices as well.

[newbie] confused by Samba
Hi all, I'm having another go at trying to get my Mandrake desktop to talk to my WIN2K laptop. I tried a while back but gave up. I think I'm confusing the basic concepts here - I had the impression that I had to use Samba, but just now tonight I've just been reading some help pages and they seem to only talk about using Samba for windows users to log on to the Linux box. Am I trying to use the wrong tool for the job? I want to be able to see the files on the laptop, so I can do some editing etc while I'm away from home and then transfer my work to the Mandrake machine without first booting into windows to do the transfer. Even better would be if I could get it so I could run Dreamweaver on my Mandrake box [using Wine???] so I could edit the files right there on the laptop, and continue on next time I boot the laptop away from home again. My logic would seem to tell me that I have to have a username and password set up on the WIN2K box so I made one, but I can't find anywhere in Samba to specify the new username and password. I found a Wiki page on "Samba basics" which says "WebMin and SWAT both have methods for dealing with this, and are easy enough to use that I won't cover them." Well that sounded encouraging, so I installed Webmin. After much stuffing around and seemingly downloading the same set of files 4 times I got Webmin running [don't ask me how...]. But in the Samba Share Manager page the only thing I can see that is relevant is the link "Edit Samba users and passwords". But clicking on that only gives me the message "No Samba users defined" - without giving any hint as to how to define them. I did some more reading and googling without finding a helpful instruction page [man Samba doesn't help much, for example! LOL].

When you installed Mandrake you ticked the 'Mail server' box in the 'Install Packages' screen didn't you? If you do that Mandrake Installer will install the mailman package which will screw up Postfix until mailman is correctly configured. To get around it :- urpme mailman Then edit your main.cf and remove the references to mailman in :- alias_maps = hash:/etc/postfix/aliases, hash:/var/lib/mailman/data/aliases so it should be :- alias_maps = hash:/etc/postfix/aliases There is also a mistake in your mynetworks line. It should be :- mynetworks = 192.168.123.0/24, 127.0.0.0/8 You do not need to include your exterior IP address. You should also edit /etc/aliases to define a real human user who can receive error mails from postfix as in :- # Person who should get root's mail. This alias # must exist. # CHANGE THIS LINE to an account of a HUMAN root: troy Then remake the aliases database with newaliases derek -- -- www.jennings.homelinux.net http://twiki.mdklinuxfaq.org Want to buy your Pack or Services from MandrakeSoft?

This may be a dumb question but is the cdrom drive that he's trying to use to read the cd fast enough? I mean if it was written at say 8x and its an older cdrom drive that can only handle 4x will it work properly?

If the cdrom was incapable of reading the CD then the boot process wouldn't have begun at all. What is happening is a glitch during the load, which for some reason does NOT occur when the system (here) is booted from floppy, and THEN the cd is read. (A problem with the installation process per se) So therefore I was forced to install the Power Pack cd's with a floppy boot on the AMD server; which did work fine.

[newbie] Confused
I am having a problem that has me stumped! I have a machine running Suse 9.0 flawlessly. I decided to replace Suse with Mandrake 9.2. The install goes perfectly. UNTIL the system reboots and I get a BLACK screen. I heard the KDE jingle, but no image. I have TRIED every setting with NO luck. System: Asus A7V33 MB, AthlonXP 2100 CPU, 512 Meg RAM, NVidia G4 Ti4200 vid card. Monitor is a vpr Matrix 17" LCD. Reloaded Suse and it works fine. Yes, the drive was reformated before and after. So what doesn't Mandrake like about this system that Suse likes? Want to buy your Pack or Services from MandrakeSoft? Go to http://www.mandrakestore.com

You might try going into the configure your desktop Or what was the old KDE control center and choosing Components>Session Manager and check on "Restore Manually Saved session" then log out and log back in again. If it saved your settings then go back to the same place and check it back to "Restore previous session" and it should always come back as you set it up. It sounds like it is remembering what you had set when you logged on before making changes. Otherwise you may have to go to the config files for the various things like sound and make changes directly to them.

[newbie] Not saving hardware settings
Hey, I recently was reading a thread about menu changes not being saved but I'm afraid that I have a different problem, Mandrake doesn't seem to be saving some of my hardware settings. When I booted into it today, my network didn't work. I had to go into the Control Center and run the wizard again, and then everything was fine. Then my sound didn't work again. When trying to get into harddrake to fix this, I kept getting an error that the program was quitting unexpectedly every time I started it. I fixed this by logging into KDE as root (bad, I know) and then harddrake worked and I was able to get the sound working. Next, I logged back in as my regular user and all was good.

Re: [newbie] Install mandrake 9.2 on AMD k6-2 350MHz
Morten, FYI...I have an AMD K62-550 running at 375 and it installed MDK 9.2 with no modifications. I think the memory is something like 64 megs, I'd have to go check the server, but I think that's correct. No hitches in the installation whatsoever; it's an older mobo too. As far as yours, it may be a bad memory setting in the bios or you may get some results from changing your memory out or making other config changes. Try installing lesser memory or different memory. The problem is definitely not the cpu. Unless of course the cpu is defective. But I doubt that.

Maybe I'd be > better off just compiling it myself? The contrib for a release, or contrib for the current cooker development tree, is a package tree consisting of packages built for the environment that would result from installing that version. Cooker is always cooker, whether you're talking about the main tree (/cooker/i586/Mandrake/RPMS) or contrib. The compilers, kernels, and all development libraries are compatible. They are often _not_ compatible with the "stable" release that was branched from cooker at a temporarily frozen moment in time. Having said that, it's quite possible there is enough compatibility in that specific package (anjuta) that you may never notice a problem. In other words running cooker packages on a release install is a crap shoot. It seems you have gotten away with it. This time.

CDs won't hold that much data. The list for the "disk" you want (contrib), whether you're cooking or using an 'official release', is always hdlist2.cz. On the other hand hdlist.cz is the equivalent of all three disks of the download edition plus a large number of packages not on those disks due to space limitations and Release Manager choices.

My reading of the > list above is that hdlist2.cz is for this directory: Inside the contrib directory are those two synthesis.hdlist.cz files. One is called synthesis.hdlist2.cz, correct? It isn't correctly named in that context, but it is the right name for where you are starting from, which is the /Mandrake/base directory. The hdlist2 name is correct there since *all* of the hdlists reside in that one directory. As to the question of "Which is the correct list for the contrib software repository?" think of the cooker directory as main for software source purposes. hdlist.cz with no sub of any kind will be the list for that "disk" correct? Now contrib is the next large software source for that version of Mandrake Linux; but on it's own it isn't a complete distribution. It depends on "main," so the list for it must need the next numerically sequential hdlist, OK? Since there was no hdlist0 (zero) and there's no hdlist1, then the correct one must be hdlist2. Now does it make sense? How bad did you say that cold was?

[newbie] Where's the Kernel Source from a Source RPM
12/28/03 Hello All, I'm endeavoring to build a low latency kernel from the 2.4.21 kernel source provided on my Mandrake 9.1 PowerPack CDs. I urpmi'd the kernel source from a copy of the kernel source rpm I'd placed in /usr/src. I can find the include header files. But were did the source code go??? What directory was it placed in??? Are all those files hidden and 'ls -l' won't list them??? And in what language are these source files, C perhaps? As a second question, is there any way you can open up an RPM and find out where it will place the files??? Thanks All, The Other. PS to John Richard Smith-- I've joined the linux-audio-user list at: http://www.music.columbia.edu/mailman/listinfo/linux-audio-user/ from there I've gone to-- http://myweb.cableone.net/eviltwin69/ALSA_JACK_ARDOUR.html to learn about building low latency kernels and installing ALSA, JACK, and ARDOUR.

Linux will use all unused memory as a disc cache in order to speed up disc access. The instant another application needs more memory some of this disc cache will be released and memory reallocated. Linux is considerably more efficient in its memory usage than Windows which just leaves memory lying around unused. The only time memory is ever an issue is when a process has a 'memory leak' and uses increasing amounts of memory. You can check for this by leaving 'top' running.

[newbie] server behind router behind cable modem
I'm getting myself confused *sigh* I have a domain, camplighthouse.org my cable provider is gracious enough not to be bouncing the ip all over the place so its staying very steady at 64.72.62.150. My server and my workstation are both behind the router NAT'd and working great as far as getting to the net. The problem is the server. While going to www.camplighthouse.org brings up the default page, mail doesn't seem to work properly. I have two other domains that need to go on yet, *sigh* all three are minimalistic. Any guidance will be appreciated. Troy p.s. I'm using 9.2 Want to buy your Pack or Services from MandrakeSoft? Go to http://www.mandrakestore.com
Re: [newbie] Physical memory is to high.
The kernel not being able to work correctly with over 850mb is most likely reason it only stated I was using around 850mb when there was 1024mb enabled. That is not the reason the physical memory is being used so much. I have had memory problems a couple of times. Not with this system, with another. Memory can easily cause a problem with the os or an application or another peice of hardware. The system I am using is fully compatible. There is still a memory problem with the 512mb installed. It is possible the memory is causing the problem, although I want to check if a memory configuration problem is causing the problem before I would buy more memory. The chance of it being another issue besides the memory is pretty high. Will somebody tell me how to correct the problem or ways to try and fix the problem if they know?

RE: [newbie] editing Mpeg home video
VCD's use MPEG files. You need a program that will convert the quicktime files to the right framerate/resolution/bitrate so that you can use them as a VCD. Next, you need a program to create the VCD. I'm brandnew to linux but I do this on Windoze. I use VirtualDub/TMPEG to create the right file and then VCDeasy to make the VCD's. It looks like they make VirtualDub for linux and the program MJPEG tools (http://mjpeg.sourceforge.net/) creates mpegs to use for VCD's. --Matt -Original Message- From: [EMAIL PROTECTED] [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] On Behalf Of robin Sent: Saturday, December 27, 2003 5:09 PM To: [EMAIL PROTECTED] Subject: Re: [newbie] editing Mpeg home video dfox wrote: > Somebody scribbled about [newbie] editing Mpeg home video > >>Hi >> >>About a year or so ago I asked about a program that would allow me >>to split mpeg home videos into smaller sections. > > > Luckily, a new version of cinelerra was just announced on the PLF > mailing list.

Well the docs do recommend having a render farm ;-) I've just downloaded Kino. It doesn't have anywhere near the power of Cineralla, but looks better as a lightweight editor for those of us with less hardware at our disposal. On the subject of video file formats, does anyone know of a program that will convert .mov to .dat? I've got a bunch of Animatrix movies in Quicktime format that I'd like to make into a VCD (not that I really know how all those obscure files in VCDs work, but getting the .dat file working would be a start).

[newbie] Physical memory is to high.
The computer states that I am using, physical memory is to high. I have 512mb of memory installed. It says there is 508mb installed and the physical memory being used is around 500mb. There is only 8mb of physical memory left. The processes are using alot of memory. The average amount for the more maing processes is 12mb. Here are examples: -kdeinit: kded is using Total=11.9 RSS=11.9 Shared=10.2 -kdeinit: kdesktop is using Total=17.8 RSS=17.8 Shared=14.9 -X is using Total= 165mb RSS=36.7 Shared=5.7 I looked for a memory configuration program, couldn't find one though. The swap is 1.4gb and is not being used at all. There is no shared memory, there is only one user account and the root. The disk buffers are changing in between 14.15mb-14.20mb and disck cache is staying at 306.79 (during using the computer in the current session regulary for five minutes). If someone knows how to correct this problem will they tell me? This may help with correcting the problem. I did have 1024mb of memory installed, The same thing that is happening now was happening when I had 1024mb of memory. That is the reason I tried 512mb. When 1024mb of memory was installed the system monitor(s) said there was 872mb. The physical memory being used then was around 868mb.
