[newbie] Installing perl modules from CPAN - missing files
I tried to install Getopt:Simple via CPAN on my new Mandrake 9.2 (download edition) box. I get this Error: Unable to locate installed Perl libraries or Perl source code. It is recommended that you install perl in a standard location before building extensions. Some precompiled versions of perl do not contain these header files, so you cannot build extensions. In such a case, please build and install your perl from a fresh perl distribution. It usually solves this kind of problem. (You get this message, because MakeMaker could not find "/usr/lib/perl5/5.8.1/i386-linux-thread-multi/CORE/perl.h") As the note indicates - there is no perl.h in the indicated directory (but the directory is there) Are these files in any paticular package? "urpmi perl" seems to indicate everything is installed. Brian Want to buy your Pack or Services from MandrakeSoft? Go to http://www.mandrakestore.com

[newbie] System tray(s)
Under mandrake rpms for kde 3.1.x and 3.2, once you add a system tray to a panel, you can't add one to a child panel (at least I haven't been able to under M9.2). The command to add a tray under Panel Menu>Configure Panel is greyed out and unavailable once a tray is present on the master panel. However the kde 3.2 environment created with the KDE-supplied konstruct allowed me to add the system tray to a child panel as many times as I want to.

Assuming your sound card is supported by the ALSA sound system,this is what to do. Install alsa-utils, alsamixergui (and newt if it is not already installed) Make a backup copy of /etc/modules.conf In a root terminal run alsaconf A text based GUI will set up your sound card and write a new /etc/modules.conf file. (Thats why you need to back up the old one!) Copy the lines from the old modules.conf into the new which are not related to sound.

Granted I have a lot more Mandrake experience than RedHat, but my personal observation is that Mandrake makes a better server distro. For instance I do not see any equivalent in RedHat of the 'Server wizards' (Install the drakwizard RPM and they appear in Mandrake Control Centre) Nor as far as I can see does RedHat have anything like msec which will routinely secure your system. I think also Mandrake came out with Samba3 well before RedHat. All the server apps you could possibly want are included, mostly with sensible defaults already set up in their configuration fiiles. Mandrake also gives you several choices. For example both Apache1.3 and Apache2.0 are included, as is Samba2 and Samba3. For mail servers Mandrake defaults to Postfix which is more secure than the Sendmail RedHat defaults to.

Extract the necessary files from the appropriate floppy image. To do this, mount the floppy image as a loopback device in your tmp directory and then copy the appropriate files to your boot directory. cd /path/to/hd.img mount -t vfat hd.img ~/tmp/ -o loop=/dev/loop3 cp ~/tmp/vmlinuz /boot/vmlinuz-hdimg cp ~/tmp/hd.rdz /boot umount ~/tmp Make an entry in /etc/lilo.conf if you use LILO or /boot/grub/menu.lst if you use GrUB Example entry for LILO bootloader image=/boot/vmlinuz-hdimg label=hd-install root=/dev/ram3 initrd=/boot/hd.rdz append="ramdisk_size=32000" vga=791 read-only As always, after you have finished editing /etc/lilo.conf, you need to run /sbin/lilo before your changes take effect.

This leaves as a possibility of resetting your / (root) partition to hda6 in the bootloader (so it can find your "/boot" directory), but would probably mess up the other schemes in /etc/fstab if it did load (it should load with a bunch of errors none the same). To test you could make yourself a slackware9.1 boot floppy(bare.i usually) and when that loads type "bare.i root=/dev/hda6 noinitrd ro" at the boot prompt. If it doesn't "panic" but loads your mandrake; you're in business and will be able to recreate lilo from there!:) Another option is to simply delete the partition you created and have everything renamed to what it was.

And I do remember the sizes and names. At the start of the extended partition was hda5. It was about 5 gb, and was my main partition for Linux. Next came my swap.

An easy solution would be much nicer. An easy solution might not be there but your install probably is still there. Looks to me you hosed up your partition table or at the least changed the existing partition order. Before you go any further strain your memory and see if you can jot down what your partition table looked like before you started messing in it. By that I mean mount-points, names, order and especially size. If you can remember the sizes you might be able to recognize the original partitions.

I can't remember whether it's Esc or F1, but one of them will take you to a text screen where you can select rescue. There's an option there that will restore your lilo.

[newbie] Gnome and Evolution - Broken
Awhile back I upgraded to 9.2. Everything worked for awhile and then I somehow broke Gnome and Evolution. I didn't have time to fix it so I started using KDE and have been checking my mail through ssh. I now have time to fix it, but I can't even remember what I did that may have broke it. Anyway, when I start Gnome it looks like it is going to boot up find but then none of the applets on the taskbar show up, none of the desktop icons show up, and I have a blank screen with a empty taskbar. When I try to add items to the taskbar I get an error. When I start Evolution, I get the following errors: Cannot activate component OAFIID:GNOME_Evolution_Mail_ShellComponent : The error from the activation system is: Unknown CORBA exception id: 'IDL:omg.org/CORBA/INV_OBJREF:1.0' Cannot activate component OAFIID:GNOME_Evolution_Addressbook_ShellComponent : The error from the activation system is: Unknown CORBA exception id: 'IDL:omg.org/CORBA/INV_OBJREF:1.0' etc... I managed to learn from google that if I kill the bonobo-activation-server then Evolution starts up fine. Some other search results leads me to believe that if I reinstall or upgrade bonobo-activation-server then all (Gnome and Evolution) should be ok? If that is true, how do I go about doing that?

Re: [newbie] OT: Port Scan?
Wow! Thanks for the quick response and great advice. I've changed my router to drop the packets instead of deny them. Hopefully that will deter future things like this from occurring. As an aside, one thing I've also noticed in the last few days with my network is that my DSL has gone from an average speed of 75k/sec to 150k/sec. That's T1 speed just about, isn't it? I haven't upgraded my subscription or anything, so I have no clue why it's happening. I really like it though! Thanks again for your help.

[newbie] 9.2 ProSuite - confusing mismatch of CDs and rpmdrake media
Hi folks, I've recently received my 9.2 ProSuite and generally was able to install a basic system without too much hassle. However, things get odd when I try to install new packages. rpmdrake's "All packages, by medium repository" listing shows these entries (sorted by me by cdrom): Install Server CD1 (cdrom1) Install Server CD2 (cdrom2) International CD (cdrom3) International CD (cdrom4) Commercial Apps CD (cdrom5) Commercial Apps CD (cdrom6) Sources CD1 (cdrom7) Contrib Java CD (cdrom8) Contrib CD (cdrom9) update_source However, I have only the following physical CDs in my ProSuite 9.2 box (ignoring the DVD which I am not using). I have guessed at the matching between these discs and the "cdrom" numbers listed by rpmdrake (last column): Installation Server CD 1 (x86) 01SPP-9211 cdrom1 Installation Server CD 2 (x86) 01SPP-9212 cdrom2 International CD (x86) 01SPP-9210 ? Supplementary Applications CD (x86) 01SPP-9207 ? Commercial Applications CD (x86)01SPP-9205 ? Java Contributions from jpackage.org01SPP-9213 cdrom8 Sources CD 101SPP-9208 cdrom7 Sources CD 201SPP-9209 ? IBM DB2 Univ. DB for Linux v8.1 01SPP-9206 ? Perhaps the "01SPP-92xx" numbers give some clues. Has anyone any advice? I could not find anything explicit on the main ML website "products" section and found nothing on MandrakeExpert. I seem to have the "extra" CDs "Supplementary", "Sources 2", and the IBM DB. However, I'm missing one "International" and one "Commercial Apps" plus "Contrib" (not "Contrib Java"). This last one is particularly bad since I am a music geek and all the midi/recording/softsynth stuff seems to be on "Contrib CD (cdrom9)".
