During the fsck, some executables may have been 'lost' (look for a dir /home/lost+found), this has happened to me in the past (I once lost all GTK libs, LOL! Try that for awhile...). Best bet is to uninstall them and reinstall them.

But, I've not used webmin to admin Apache in quite some time since I started editing my own config files for it. So I can't say with certainty. For the most part I understand the Apache2 config files are much the same as the previous version. At least they looked mostly the same to me, so webmin should be the ticket.

[newbie] hanging box
HI I have a problem with my machine hanging. It has been getting progressively worse. I am forced to do a hard reboot (I believe) as the keyboard does not respond. At one point in the reboot I am prompted to perform a file system integrity check. I have up until recently been saying yes to this. It seemed like a good idea. What I am finding however is that it is getting increasingly hard to get past this point in the boot process - it hangs again during the check. This was not too bad at first as by the 3rd or 4th time it generally passed and would boot OK. Now I can't seem to get past the check - after the 12th attempt I just skip the check, - but now I am hanging a great deal more (6 times in the process of writing this email!). What do I need to do in order to track down the cause of the problem? I have lost some functionality (often used menu items for example, though sometimes the executables are still OK and I can add the menu item again, other times the program stops working), and the software installer is no longer present in the Mandrake Control Centre after a message popped up while using it that said it was not a valid executable ?! It seems reasonable to me that corrupted files on the HDD could conceivably cause this behaviour. How do I check the drive for problems, or am I barking up the wrong tree?

However, you don't have DHCP on your machine because the Windows software is using zeroconf to automatically provide an IP address. Run DrakConnect from the Mandrake Control Center. Choose the Wizard and let it autodetect. You should see a Lan connection -ethernet card(s) detected with a check box that should have an X in it. Choose Next. Uncheck the Automatic IP box and enter an IP address on that line. You can use a 10. address like 10.0.0.20 and enter 255.255.255.0 for the netmask. Enter something for the hostname, use whatever you like. I would leave the DNS Server and Gateway blank, as well as the zeroconf hostname. That should get your lan card working and then you only need to edit your /etc/hosts file and create an entry for your machines to connect to them. That should read: 10.0.0.20 machinename 10.0.0.21 machinename2 etc. You have to perform similar actions on the Windows machine to be able to connect to the Linux one. -- Bryan Phinney Software Test Engineer Want to buy your Pack or Services from MandrakeSoft?

I'll describe it in Win98 terms, which I'm sure you will be able to translate to W2K terms. In Control Panel, select Network. You should have TCP/IP set as a protocol. Get the Properties pages up. On one tab you will see 'Obtain an IP address automatically' Select the other option, which will then offer you a series of boxes to fill in. Put in 192.168.0.10, say for one box and the other one should be, say, 192.168.0.20. It's important that they are on the same subnet, which means that only the last number is different. In both the Windows box and the Linux one, the netmask is 255.255.255.0. I don't think you said which one is to have the Internet connection? Whichever has that is the 'gateway'. On the other machine you will need to give the address of that machine as gateway. Use the wizard in Mandrake to set up the linux box. It's just the same as setting up the windows one. It's late here, and I need to sleep. Try this, and come back if you need to. One thing, though. When you have to give the workgroup name, remember that capitalisation matters. I find that it's best to change it to all lower-case on both windows and linux machines. If you need help before I'm back, someone else will join in to help you.

[newbie] NVIDIA sound problem
Hi
Y'all may have beat this one into submission in the past ... but I just
got this new machine.
ASUS A7N8X-VM motherboard with integrated NVIDIA nforce2 IGP and MCP
chipsets.
Nothing seemed to work after the initial MDK 9.2 install. I disabled
the onboard LAN adapter in BIOS and temporarily installed an old 3COM
NIC. On the reboot, harddrake picked that up and configured it. At
least I got a net connection.
With urpmi I downloaded and installed the following:
NVIDIA_GLX_4496-2.2.92mdk
NVIDIA_kernel-2.4.22.21mdk-4496-2.2.92
NVIDIA_nforce-2.4.22.21mdk-1.0-02663
Now, the onboard LAN adapter is working nicely (removed the 3COM NIC).
I get the NVIDIA splash screen which indicates that the graphics adapter
is running with drivers it likes best (I hope).
With MCC, I tried to add the "nvaudio" drivers to the soundcard.
Sound functions still seem to be screwed up. On boot up, I get this
message:
modprobe: can't locate module nvaudio
sound: loading sound module (nvaudio) failed.
My original (before all the downloads, etc) '/etc/modules.conf' file
looked like this:
alias sound-slot-0 snd-intel8x0
above snd-intel8x0 snd-pcm-oss
alias eth0 3c59x
probeall usb-interface usb-ohci ehci-hcd
probeall scsi_hostadapter ide-scsi
With the above configuration, I DID get the KDE start-up "rumble"
sound. However, my microphone and line-in inputs didn't work.
My '/etc/modules.conf' now looks like this:
alias sound-slot-0 nvaudio
above snd-intel8x0 snd-pcm-oss
alias eth0 nvnet
probeall usb-interface usb-ohci ehci-hcd
probeall scsi_hostadapter ide-scsi
KDE not longer plays it start-up "rumble" ('can't find /dev/dsp'). The
inputs still don't work.
How do I get system to find the correct "nvaudio" drivers?
Thanks for any suggestions/pointers

One way you could do this is to create a single user boot mode in lilo by manually mounting /root, editing /etc/lilo.conf and then booting up there. Probably easier to simply issue the lilo single command when booting from the hard drive, though. Another option is to boot up into failsafe mode, then from the ncurses prompt, choose to mount volumes to /mnt, then go to Maintenance mode, it will prompt for root password, enter it and you go to single user mode, from there you should be able to issue the passwd username command to change the password. Another option, if your machine is up and you have webmin running, hit the machine from another machine and go into webmin. https://ip.address:1. Login as root and go to system, users and groups and from there you should be able to change the password and reenable the account if it has been disabled. Another option, if you have more than one user account, ssh into the machine and su to root, issue the passwd username command. I recommend failsafe, it is probably the easiest to do. Webmin is also easy but assumes you have another machine attached to the LAN to access it. The last method requires another user account and that sshd be installed and active on the machine. -- Bryan Phinney Software Test Engineer Want to buy your Pack or Services from MandrakeSoft?

Assuming that's correct, here's something that might help you: http://www.emachines.com/support/view_faq.html?faq=1004986892#7 It says the motherboard has a Trigem Korea Socket 7.

[newbie] Apollon (from plf) on mdk 9.2 won't run.
I have installed apollon from the penguin liberation front (plf) source but can't get it to run. When I run it I get: [EMAIL PROTECTED] elizabeth]$ apollon kbuildsycoca running... apollon: relocation error: apollon: undefined symbol: _ZN7Apollon10giFTSocketC1EP7QObjectPKc [EMAIL PROTECTED] elizabeth]$ Mutex destroy failure: Device or resource busy I have tried uninstalling it and reinstalling it with no effect. The history of this is that I installed it initially and then (accidentally) ran it as root (forgot to 'exit' back to user account). It started to the configuration screen where I put in a user name and clicked ok. It then failed to start. Now, even after a reinstall, it won't bring up even this initial setup screen (for root or a normal user). I have never had the actual main program load on that machine. I would think it might be a bad package on plf but I've definitely installed apollon successfully on another 9.2 machine. My suspicion is that it is something to do with running it as root initially. The system must be holding some sort of state information or something which isn't removed with the package- I just can't find it. I don't know if it's relevant but this machine, for space reasons, does not have GNOME or most of the development libraries installed. I wouldn't guess this would make any difference as it is a KDE application. It is up-to-date with mandrake updates. Just for completeness the commands I'm using to install/uninstall are (respectively): 'urpmi apollon' and 'urpme apollon-0.9.1-2plf.i586 gift-0.11.4-5plf.i586 gift-fasttrack-0.8.5-1plf.i586 libapollon0-0.9-1plf.i586 libgift0-0.11.4-5plf.i586' I'd very much appreciate any light that anyone could shed on this! I hope it's something obvious that I'm missing! Thanks in advance, Andrew. Want to buy your Pack or Services from MandrakeSoft? Go to http://www.mandrakestore.com

I hope like me you will be "gob smacked" by the quality and breadth of the applications on your CDs and available for free download. If you want to support Mandrake financially you might consider a subscription to Mandrake Club rather than purchasing a box set. The cost to you is much the same, and Mandrake make much more money out of it. Everything in the box set is available for download from the Club. You will find learning Linux will be both enjoyable and infuriating.

I chose to install the default firewall (drakfirewall) but it does not seem to work very well. I tested it at GRC.com. It shows the ports closed and I am responding to pings.

SSH should work "out of the box" There is no need to touch anything to do with PAM There are two ways of running ssh, as an sshd daemon, or called on demand by ssh-xinetd You can select how it is run in Mandrake Control Centre>System>Services If it is run by xininitd then it will check with /etc/hosts/allow and /etc/hosts/deny before allowing access. I always run ssh as an sshd daemon and do not have the slightest trouble with it. The sshd daemon will use the config file /etc/ssh/ssh/sshd_config So long as that file contains PasswordAuthentication yes You should be able to log in with your root password. (That is the default) A good way to faultfind ssh is to run in debug mode. service sshd stop (to stop the daemon) sshd -e -d2 (to run in debug mode) messages will now be output to the terminal during the login.

Hi, IIRC the Cyrix M-II would use Socket 7, which was standard at the time. However, this doesn't tell you exactly what your motherboard supports - Super 7 can use Socket 7, but not vice versa. The fastest processor (for Super 7) was the AMD K6-2+ 550Mhz, but it's possible your motherboard's won't support the bus speed and multiplier combination needed. I would suggest, however, that you not upgrade. IMHO it's not worth the time and effort - you would probably need more than the installed 32MB (maybe a larger HD too), and considering you can buy a boxed Celeron 2.0 Ghz (just a random example) for under $70, it seems a rather expensive exercise.
