Can you check the account the funds were drawn on? Mandrake had a fsck from NATEXIS BANQUE POPULAIRES (who handles the visa payment to North America) where the account was over debited 100x (oops,,, what decimel point?), so that silver membership might have wiped out your reserve. Good for you tho, a silver membership does help Mandrakesoft as much as almost anything you can do, and it is worth it in discounts too, if you consider the early ISOs, and stuff like the AMD64 ISOs. well this is what was posted to the club, about the problem I mentioned. 1. Natexis, our payment platform provider, is responsible for the software bug that essentially multiplied the amount due by 100 for some orders. 2. The bug is fixed now and the platform is once again safe and operational since Monday May 17. 3. To our knowledge, this bug affected about 250 customers who paid by Visa card essentially in North America during the month of May 2004. 4. At no point, was the wrongfully debited amount credited to Mandrakesoft, we always received only the correct amount (which partly explains why it took us some time to notice the problem). 5. Natexis gave us yesterday (Tuesday, May 18) a set of files from which we have identified the affected customers. The information provided by Natexis in those files is not of great quality (they were not able to provide us the transaction number). So it is possible that some customers we believe affected are not (which would be good) and that some customers we do not know have been affected (which would be bad). 6. Natexis tells us that they have contacted Visa and your bank on Monday the 17th. They will credit the amount wrongfully debited from the customer account, then will debit again the correct amount. This process should happen ?within one or two days?. 7. We have sent an e-mail to all the customers we believe have been affected. So if you had billing problems and did not receive an e-mail from us, please write to us at [EMAIL PROTECTED], with information about your order. 8. We apologize for the inconvenience suffered by our customers and will keep working on this untill all problems are solved. -- linux counter #167806 Want to buy your Pack or Services from MandrakeSoft?

That's what I was getting to with the remarks about the DHCP NIC coming up just fine while the static one doesn't on my box, if all I believe is the boot messages. As a matter of fact I have both cards on my box and they work so the problem is likely in configuration. First off, the KDE configuration tool won't work to fix or diagnose this. You need to use the MCC aka Configure Your Computer in MDK 10. Is it detecting the on board NIC correctly and how does it have it all set up. Open up the MCC and check the Hardware first. Then go to the Network Internet tool and check things in there. In fact, this is where you can fiddle around with the connections. As for the logs you can find your boot log in /var/log/boot.log Secondly, are you using the same interface for both a LAN connection and your DSL? Is this computer the one pointing to the internet and your other computer(s) on the LAN behind it or is it just part of the LAN? I know this sounds like a lot of questions but I need to understand what's happening on your machine.

this problem is germane to your particular box or video card.

Greetings LX,
I'm running a circa 1998 system with Mandrake 9.1 (in the process
of building LFS {Linux From Scratch} 5.0) on the following hardware:
Asus P2B AGP motherboard with the Intel 440BX chipset and Award BIOS
(IIRC, I know it's not a Phoenix BIOS)
Intel Pentium-II MMX 350-MHz cpu
Matrox G100 AGP video card
I've been rock-solid since turning off the ROM Shadowing. Prior to
that, 3/4 of a year with erratic errors and when I had to do a
reinstall of Mandrake 9.1 because of file system corruption, it
would take over 100 attempts to get through the loading software
phase of the install, with a chance to bomb on the LILO setup as
well. I'm a patient guy, but this was getting ridiculous. It's
also a testimony of my resolve to not use Windows on the Internet.
:) Also, others on this list may remember my cries for help during
2003.
If there's another problem causing this problem besides ROM
Shadowing, I'd love to hear what the alternative solution is. Just
in case you're right and I haven't solved my problem.
Thanks,

Thanx, Jargon A few points :- With security level set to highest (paranoid), you are going to be quite restricted. If you are just getting to know Linux then you might find it easier to work with 'High' or 'Higher' Otherwise you will may get quite frustrated at how much the security system interferes with you. One way the security system will interfere is on the ownership and permissions on your shared folders. The msec security script will check on which user/group owns folders and the read/write/execute permissions on them. If the permissions do not conform to the levels appropriate for your security level msec will **change the permissions** without consulting you. This confuses the socks off a lot of people. To define the permissions you want to use on your shared folders use drakperm in the security section of Mandrake Control Centre. Samba cannot override the permissions on the linux folder, so any Samba user can only have the permissions appropriate for the user thay are logged in as. It is not necessary to have a 1:1 mapping between Samba users and Linux users, but if the Samba access is not to be anonymous, then the Samba users must be mapped to a Linux Group or User. In your case I suspect anonymous access would be all you need unless you want to either set up 1000 Samba users, or else implement an LDAP authentication server. If you are using anonymous access then you must map your users to the guest user 'nobody' and the shared folders must allow access to 'nobody'. You will find an example configuration for an anonymous share in the default /etc/samba/smb.conf file. It is not clear if you have webmin working or not. After installing the webmin package run chkconfig webmin on service webmin start That will make the webmin server run automatically when you boot the server. Then https://server_ip_addy:1 from any browser on the local network will access webmin (Note https not http) The Samba module in webmin is simply a graphical way of editing the /etc/samba/smb.conf file HTH derek -- www.jennings.homelinux.net Want to buy your Pack or Services from MandrakeSoft?

Greetings LX,
I'm running a circa 1998 system with Mandrake 9.1 (in the process
of building LFS {Linux From Scratch} 5.0) on the following hardware:
Asus P2B AGP motherboard with the Intel 440BX chipset and Award BIOS
(IIRC, I know it's not a Phoenix BIOS)
Intel Pentium-II MMX 350-MHz cpu
Matrox G100 AGP video card
I've been rock-solid since turning off the ROM Shadowing. Prior to
that, 3/4 of a year with erratic errors and when I had to do a
reinstall of Mandrake 9.1 because of file system corruption, it
would take over 100 attempts to get through the loading software
phase of the install, with a chance to bomb on the LILO setup as
well. I'm a patient guy, but this was getting ridiculous. It's
also a testimony of my resolve to not use Windows on the Internet.
:) Also, others on this list may remember my cries for help during
2003.
If there's another problem causing this problem besides ROM
Shadowing, I'd love to hear what the alternative solution is. Just
in case you're right and I haven't solved my problem.
Thanks,
The Other
The key word above that caught my eye above was, Matrox. As a matter
of fact, for a short while I had a Matrox in the 1990's, and I remember
some sort of video shadowing anomalies with it.
Would you do me a flavor? In the interests of Science? To test this
theory of mine, that this is perhaps germane to the video card itself,
would you turn on system bios shadowing, but leave video shadowing off,
and see if your system remains stable. I'm curious.
If in fact you've already tried this, just let me know. Otherwise, I'm
all ears.
LX
P.S. Phoenix Bioses suck.
P.P.S Have you flashed your mainboard to the latest bios available for
it from Asus.

[newbie] X problem Strange Activity revisited?
List, Below I have attached an excerpt of dmesg from the other night. Of particular interest is the messages from X about an illegal attempt to access hardware. I left my machine with the desktop locked and was doing other things. I returned and found a login screen. I tried to log back in but was immediately kicked out. I was able to login using an Alt+Fn screen and tried to check things over. Eventuall I just rebooted and was able to then login. It was a particularly stormy evening and I did note some messages verifying that the ups was logging brief power outages (lightening strikes?). I am concerned since I noted in a recent thread about seeing shorewall messages on my local terminals (alt+F1 etc).

[newbie] How to fix linmodem for 2.6 kernel
Hi, I'm an improving newbie - that means I can do most of the things that linux deems to be essential like downloading weird libraries and recompiling kernels without having to ask too many questions from the helpful folk online. However I'd appreciate it anyone out there can answer this one. I have an internal linmodem (Intel v92ham) which I have installed sucessfully under several different linux releases using various 2.4 kernels including this one (slackware 9.1 with 2.4.22 kernel) But all attempts to run this modem with a 2.6 kernel seem doomed to failure. First the script only allows compilation with 2.4 kernels and second I think that 2.6 requires the resulting modules to be of type .ko. So, can I compile my old sources under 2.6 and convert them to .ko somehow? Can I get new sources compatible with 2.6? Do I buy a new modem? New system is mandrake 10 (from linux format magazine) with 2.6.3 kernel K7S5A board with athlon 2000 256 MB memory (onboard sound), GEForce FX5200, Dell 18 LCD And it all works a treat, except for that dratted modem Oh, and the scanner - but that's another story Best Regards Harry Anderson Want to buy your Pack or Services from MandrakeSoft?

Is 128mb of ram not enough or are there other settings to change? I used the mandrake drivers as it was easier for newbie me than installing driver from nvidia.com. Thanks in advance for help.

John __ you will need the NVIDIA.com driver, just make sure you have your kernel source installed. It is not as hard as you think to install it.

It shouldn't access hardware directly. AFAIK this just means the author of atkbd.c doesn't agree with the way XFree86 code accesses the hardware. I left my machine with the desktop locked and was doing other things. I returned and found a login screen. I tried to log back in but was immediately kicked out. I was able to login using an Alt+Fn screen and tried to check things over. Eventuall I just rebooted and was able to then login. It was a particularly stormy evening and I did note some messages verifying that the ups was logging brief power outages (lightening strikes?). I am concerned since I noted in a recent thread about seeing shorewall messages on my local terminals (alt+F1 etc). So I guess I'm asking did someone attempt illegal access to my machine or perhaps my apcupsd software is buggy?

The driver Mandrake provides is the vanilla XFree86 one, which does not support hardware acceleration - that's why everything is slow. You really need to get the nvidia driver. It's not that hard to install - see recent posts on this list. The amount of RAM on your machine doesn't affect video acceleration, since the card uses its onboard RAM. I'd still advise getting a bit more RAM eventually, though, as it's always a good thing. 512MB is plenty for anything short of advanced video work - I have 512MB and have hardly ever used swap space.

I'm running SpamAssassin to filter out junk, but before mails get to the SA filter in Kmail they first go through a bunch of others. Kmail's facility to allow you to use regexes for filtering means I kill a lot of spam without even having to invoke SA. The same flexibility means I can sort and manage mail is all kinds of useful ways. I've always had the habit of using separate apps for different jobs, which means you can always use the best available. I'm agree with this. My ISP uses SA, and quite intelligently tags spam with an s for each SA score. I've set up a Kmail filter to automatically junk anything that my ISP's filter tags with 13 or more s's. After that, my own SA's bayesian filter parses the messages with less than 13 s's and I apply more of my own rules and junk anything with a score of 4.0 or higher. Not much spam gets by and I rarely have a false positive. To keep this on topic, Opera 7.5 is an excellent browser with a very attractive interface.

Sir Robin Hello thanks for the quick responses. I have one question regarding the kernel sources. I installed the stripped down version earlier and tried the nvidia driver but it could not compile or could not find the necessary headers. Is the full source version necessary or do I have to specify a location somewhere? Thanks John _ Want to buy your Pack or Services from MandrakeSoft?

[newbie] Help with on-board AC97 Audio (mdk10)
Hi all I have an hp pavilion 713a machine, with Microstar MS-6577 Motherboard. This has an Avance AC97 audio chip on board, which works fine under the pre-loaded XP. I'm trying to migrate it to Mandrake (10.0 Community), and running into the odd obstacle or two... Firstly, the drivers themselves. Configure your computer says the hardware itself is working fine (there are no error messages). I've tried using the alternate drivers as listed here, but with no better success than the default (snd_intel 8x0). The diagnostic procedures tell me to run a series of commands, and I've done these, but the results are cryptic: chkconfig --list sound reports a series of 0: .. 6:, with off or on. chkconfig --list alsa does the same. What do these mean? Nextly, the mixer. I'm using KDE desktop, so up comes Kmix. The help files for this tell me nothing about what the red and green buttons (above and below the sliders) are for - can ANYONE tell me? Also, I can see a Mix Mono output, but after having fiddled the drivers the stereo one has disappeared - is this a symptom of the lack of sound out? Yes, I can right-click the slider and split the control, but the right one snaps to the left setting, so that doesn't turn it into stereo, it's really a mono one. Has anyone any pointers here?
