Re: [newbie] Adding another Linux distro to MDK lilo.conf
Trey Sizemore wrote: I originally had on SUSE 9.1 installed on my HD. When I added MDK 10.1, I chose not to install the bootloader as I was going to make an entry in the SUSE grub.conf to boot MDK 10.1. For some reason, MDK overwrote the MBR anyway and now I have lilo with MDK options and I'd like to add SUSE as an option (currently on hda1). It's been a while since I played with lilo. Do I need to first make an entry in /etc/fstab for SUSE on /dev/hda1 and *then* add an entry in lilo.conf for SUSE? This is what I changed in the MDK lilo.conf file: default=linux boot=/dev/hda map=/boot/map keytable=/boot/us.klt prompt nowarn timeout=100 message=/boot/message menu-scheme=wb:bw:wb:bw image=/boot/vmlinuz label=linux root=/dev/hda8 initrd=/boot/initrd.img append=devfs=mount acpi=ht resume=/dev/hda7 splash=silent vga=788 read-only image=/boot/vmlinuz label=linux-nonfb root=/dev/hda8 initrd=/boot/initrd.img append=devfs=mount acpi=ht resume=/dev/hda7 read-only image=/boot/vmlinuz label=failsafe root=/dev/hda8 initrd=/boot/initrd.img append=failsafe acpi=ht resume=/dev/hda7 devfs=nomount read-only image=/boot/vmlinuz-2.6.5-25cvs20040728163444-default label=SUSE root=/dev/hda1 read-only but the issue is that there's no such thing as /boot/vmlinuz-2.6.5-25cvs20040728163444-default as far as MDK is concerned. Dual booting involves resolving where the /boot directory that the system is booting from is going. If you have not already created a /boot Partion you have ended up with two /boot directories one in each OS / base, and lilo only knows only of the one, the one it has in mandrake / base. There are two solutions, either, create a single /boot partition and reinstall both OS's, in which case all the boot files for both OS's are installed automatically by both OS installers in the /boot partition. or, copy the /boot files from the dead /boot directory across to the live /boot directory, the one lilo knows about in mandrake / base. The stanza for suse looks ok to me, but I have limited experience with suse and so cannot be sure. The one previso I would have is the number of characters for the kernel to boot from, there are limitations in lilo for most labels and kernel versions but they have to be precise enough to be able to activate the correct kernels. when you are done run /sbin/lilo to confirm the entries are correct and make sure lilo accepts you final result.

[newbie] Installing on Compaq Presario 900 laptop
My compadre has a Compaq Presario 900 with DVD and WinDVD is all mucked up--it keeps giving a create overlay failed error. I googled and tried a bunch of things to fix it, to no avail. I could get DVD's to play using PowerDVD, but it's just a trial and costs $50. I suggested installing Mandrake for playing DVD's, but I'm having second thoughts because my experience with Compaq several years ago was a nightmare of non-standard, Compaq only crap. After googling some more on the Presario 900 and linux, I see that it is possible but might require some work. Most of those docs were for older releases--RH8, MDK 8.2-9.0. I'm just wondering if it might be easier now with a newer release, and if anybody here has gotten MDK running on one of these machines.

Base price in any computer store, if you can actually find an external serial modem as opposed to an external usb modem will run $60. That is pretty much why I made the suggestion, for $18, you really can beat the ease and convenience of just getting an external serial modem for Linux rather than messing about with all those linmodem drivers and perhaps still not being able to get all your apps, like fax software, etc. to work with them. -- Bryan Phinney Want to buy your Pack or Services from MandrakeSoft?

Re: [newbie] Full install with Mandrake 10?
There is not an option for total install and if you have one of the power-packs it would be a pretty huge install indeed. I would suggest choosing Select Individual Packages as you mentioned and then press the next button and painstakingly go through proceeding list and select what you want. DHCP will install during set up. When looking through your list of options tab network servers and mark 'DHCP'. Then you are good to go. A short cut for you (if yo really want a FULL install) might be to simply select the header box of each tab. That should auto-select everything below it. Although I can't swear to it.

If you are using a windows driver disk that is something other than a generic driver, you might be able to get the vendor name from that, and then we will have more info to try to suggest some drivers to you. In short, we need to know who made the modem and hopefully what chipset or model it is. That information will probably be in the files generated, specifically ModemData.txt. Also, you can check the Driver Compiling.txt and it might actually give you instructions of where to find the driver, to download it and then how to compile and install. There might be pre-built packages available but for a lot of modems, you need to build them yourself. -- Bryan Phinney Want to buy your Pack or Services from MandrakeSoft?

Re: [newbie] xmms problem

Re: [newbie] Adding another Linux distro to MDK lilo.conf
John Richard Smith wrote: Dual booting involves resolving where the /boot directory that the system is booting from is going. If you have not already created a /boot Partion you have ended up with two /boot directories one in each OS / base, and lilo only knows only of the one, the one it has in mandrake / base. There are two solutions, either, create a single /boot partition and reinstall both OS's, in which case all the boot files for both OS's are installed automatically by both OS installers in the /boot partition. or, copy the /boot files from the dead /boot directory across to the live /boot directory, the one lilo knows about in mandrake / base. The stanza for suse looks ok to me, but I have limited experience with suse and so cannot be sure. The one previso I would have is the number of characters for the kernel to boot from, there are limitations in lilo for most labels and kernel versions but they have to be precise enough to be able to activate the correct kernels. when you are done run /sbin/lilo to confirm the entries are correct and make sure lilo accepts you final result. John Another way to handle duel booting is to run more then one copy of the boot loader. One way to do it is to have each OS load the boot loader on the boot recored of the /boot partition for that version. You then install another boot loader on the MBR. This boot loader just lets you pick the version to load, and you then get the boot loader for this version. some thing like: First boot loader: (/etc/lilo.boot) default=Mandrake boot=/dev/hda map=/boot/map keytable=/boot/us.klt prompt nowarn timeout=100 message=/boot/main-message other=/dev/hda1 label=SUSE other=/dev/hda8 label=Mandrake Then for the SUSE boot loader, change boot=/dev/hda to boot=/dev/hda1 and for Mandrake change it to boot=/dev/hda8. This way, when you instal a new kernel, the scripts in the RPM will update the lilo.conf file, and the boot loader for that distribution. You could also leave the Mandrake boot loader on the MBR, and change the SUSE config to boot=/dev/hda1. Then add to the Mandrake lilo.conf: other=/dev/hda1 label=SUSE If you realy want to have one boot loader handle both, you can mount the /boot partition form one OS on the other OS. Use sonething like /boot1 for the name. Then change any pointers to /boot to /boot1 for booting the second OS. But if you do any kernel updates on the second OS, you will have to manualy add them to lilo.conf on the first OS, and run lilo there. Make sure that the boot= section on the second OS lilo.conf does NOT point to /dev/hda! Oh yes, you do not have to use lilo or Grub for the first boot loader. There are other boot loaders that will handle loading the correct boot loader for each OS. System Commander and its clones come to mind...

[newbie] installing a screensaver in KDE
Got my hands on the matrix screensaver. I put KMatrix.desktop in /usr/share/applnk/System/ScreenSavers. Control center does not pick it up until I create the link in /usr/share/applnk-mdk-simplified/.hidden/ScreenSavers In works than, but later on (few days later the link dissappears). All those links there get recreated. By what process? How do I make this permanant? I keep having to recreate this link manually. Want to buy your Pack or Services from MandrakeSoft?

The rpm will also install a menu item named Tkpppoe under Internet | Remote Acess (KDE). Personally I find it easier to start/stop the connection from the CL usin aliases to save typing.

[newbie] WAY OT - From the And you thought YOU were a newbie dept.
I bought a refurbished TDK cd-burner online and it arrived in the mail today ... Just opened the box to inspect the contents and was amazed to see a new device I'd never seen before ... the Emergency Eject Pin ... that's right, an unwound paperclip! ... Amazing. I wonder how much extra I paid for this incredible bit of technology ... Even more amazing is the fact that it comes in it's own bit of packaging (surprisingly not in the protective packaging that hard drives come in ... ) and wih a complete set of instructions: 1) Insert the eject pin into the emergency pinhole 2) Carefully pull the tray out and remove the CD But wait! How do I get the tray closed again? Hm, could be some money in an Emergency Un-ject Pin ... Now where did I put that old back-scratcher? :^ Adam Want to buy your Pack or Services from MandrakeSoft?
