[newbie] Shorewall and NFS
Well, I'm sitting behind a hardware cable-modem router with a builtin firewall and most people tell me that I'm relatively (love the vagaries of that word!) safe behind it. Still, in the interest of being safety minded, I installed and am running Shorewall (this is under v9.2). The problem is, I can't get my other 2 comps on my LAN to work with NFS when Shorewall is running. My main comp is the NFS server and my sons are the clients. They get a RPC timeout with Shorewall running. I searched google and the Mandrake archives - there were tons of Shorewall and NFS messages but nothing I needed. I tried this in /etc/shorewall/rules: (AFAIK, 111 and 2049 are the ports needed for NFS) ACCEPT net fw tcp 111,2049- ACCEPT net fw udp 111,2049- and restarted Shorewall but it didn't help.

This is from Google: The Unix epoch is the representation of points in time as the number of non-leap seconds since 00:00:00 UTC on January 1, 1970, introduced by the Unix operating system, standardised in POSIX, and later adopted by the Java programming language and JavaScript. Because many computers today store the number of seconds as a 32-bit signed integer, the Unix epoch is often said to last 231 seconds, thus ending at 03:14:07 Tuesday, January 19, 2038 (UTC). -- /\ Dark Lord \/ Want to buy your Pack or Services from MandrakeSoft?

RE: [newbie] Lost printer - Epson C42UX
Had a similar problem with my Epson Stylus Color 777 on Mandrake 9.0 and Mandrake 9.1. I had to uninstall and reinstall cups and it's libraries, then reinstall the printer through harddrake. I already asked the question about this problem, but I didn't get any answer, so this is the only workaround I found to work. I had to do those steps about once a week. To uninstall cups, type urpme cups in a console, as root. It will complain about dependencies, uninstall them too. Next step is to reinstall cups with the following command: urpmi cups (still as root in a console). It will install its dependencies too.

FWIW, not to be confused with (and mostly used by laptops), ACPI - Advanced Configuration and Power Interface Tom, do you know why enabling/disabling ACPI and or APIC (now that I *think* I understand the distinction...;-)) would have such an effect on stability? I have found since disabling ACPI that my system is less prone to lockups, actually haven't had one in a week now. No, I don't really know why, but many varied systems have ACPI troubles. I believe Mandrake's default is to disable it for just that reason. It's really only need by some laptops anyhow. Just about all desktops do just fine using APM for power management. Also, doing some Googling, as I mentioned above, I found that disabling APIC is claimed to have positive results in terms of preventing some file system problems (in my case, file copy(s) failed, segfaults, cd's wouldn't burn because FIFO timed out, etc.) that required a reboot. I've added noapic to lilo.conf as suggested in my Google of some mailing list archives, but I haven't rebooted in a coupla days so no anecdotal evidence yet, but that seemed to be the consensus. I never needed to disable APIC, even tho this motherboard I got recently (Asus A7V600) gives me a few IRQ warnings in dmesg. 3 5, and a 'spurious' 7 (whatever that means?), but I'm not usin any of those anyhow. No conflicts, no problems. noapic, like mem=nopentium, never seems to have any affect at all on any AMD systems I've had using 2.4.x kernels.

Re: [newbie] Reading PDF attachments from Mozilla containing spaces in the title
Somebody scribbled about [newbie] Reading PDF attachments from Mozilla containing spaces in the title We're having trouble opening PDFs directly from Mozilla(mdk9.2) that contain a space in the file name. Adrian - if you haven't solved this you might try checking your Preferences in mozilla, and specifically look at how the PDF helper is being called. Usually it's something like 'xpdf %s' where %s stands for the file name. You might experiment by placing double quotes around the %s part -- the double quotes will prevent the shell from seeing the PDF file as a list of filenames rather than one complete filename that includes spaces. Secondly I'm assuming this only happens when reading the mail within Mozilla. Is that correct? -- David E.
