The gui is rp-pppoe-gui It's on your CD's To run it, type 'tkpppoe' as root to set it up, after that you can use it as user if you select that option during setup. 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. Mostly I just leave it up 24/7 bringing it down only for system shutdowns (kernel change). alias dsl='adsl-start' alias dsld='adsl-stop' Just because these commands require root privilege, doesn't mean you're online connected as root.

[newbie] Spamassassin
Hi, I've installed Spamassassin (SA) from Mandrakce Control Center (MCC) package handler. I also use Webmin. When I try to administer SA, it tells me that [it] isn't set up in Procmails (PM) config. What do I needPM for? Doesn't SA work without PM? I would like to run Postfix (with MLs pop3), SA and some anti virus. Regards, Ralph Utbult

Re: [newbie] Mandrake 10.0 reboot hanging up
Many thanks, Bryan and Jason. I installed ACPI RPMs and enabled it through MCC last night but the problem is still there. In fact the situation became worse after enabling ACPI, I had to press power-off button quite a while ( 10 seconds) to trun it off when rebooting. Previously what I need is a gentle touch. I checked the lilo.conf file and found only acpi=ht, but no acpi=on thing, is this right? Surely ACPI was up. I also removed acpi=ht from lilo but it didn't work. By the way, I have set a bootup password. Will this cause any problem? Bests, Q.H. Want to buy your Pack or Services from MandrakeSoft?

No propert heading to suggest who is doing this. it plainly says that the email in question is an automated one and no reply is permitted. For sure it is some sort of scam, but what. I cannot see what it is after. I have not parted with money. I have not ordered anything. They cannot have an address to deliver too. So far it hasn't asked for any credit card details. It pretends to confirm details of a fictitious transaction. I have had more than one, for varying amounts. It seems to be some sort of mischievous prank . Like a virus does. Or perhaps some really devious attempt to sully someone's credit rating with reports of non-payment of these fictitious invoices. I don't know. So any suggestions.

The current resolution and depth work very nicely overall and I would hate to change that. If it's working you're lucky. I glanced back through my notes on customer systems using that chip-set on various motherboards and found a case of, some work at 1024x768, others are for kaka. 6/5 and pick'em, luck of the draw and the whim of the Gods of Silicon. I didn't do anything special to get it to work well. However, the display is very nice. Although the screen is really 15, it shows a bigger picture (and clearer picture) than my expensive 17 monitor (???). I didn't expect that from a budget system. The biggest thing is the colour depth anyway. Higher resolution does draw more memory and processor cycles but not to the same extent as going from 65,000 odd colours to 16,000,000. I doubt you would see the gradations of colour anyway. I can't. For some reason the difference is visible on this unit. It was worth a test but I don't think you need to go 800x640 as long as you stay at 16 bit colour. In any event, it didn't work :^(. How much memory are you using for graphics and how much do you have in total? The reason I ask is that on-board graphics with some rare (getting less rare but...) exceptions use the CPU for all playback functions unlike a separate graphic adaptor (read as video card) which has a Graphics Processing Unit. Let's start there. Good question. I don't know the answer. How does one determine the amount of memory being used for graphics? In the budget systems (on-board graphics etc) I've assembled for people Athlon XP+ anything is OK as long as there's enough memory, Duron maybe, Celeron not so much. I don't recall off the top of my pointy head whether that chip-set was ever used on an Intel board or only for AMD processors. AMD only I believe. I'm using a newer generation of the SiS chip-set in the system I'm writing this on. So is it a Duron? Actually, it is an Intel P4 processor (1.7GHz) with 256Mb RAM plus another 256Mb swap. I ran 'xvinfo' as suggested in the logs and got the following: X-Video Extension version 2.2 screen #0 no adaptors present That doesn't look too promising. A whole whack of stuff should be displayed by that command. Sorry for the length of this: nanook]$ xvinfo X-Video Extension version 2.2 screen #0 Adaptor #0: SIS 300/315/330 series Video Overlay number of ports: 1 port base: 56 operations supported: PutImage supported visuals: snip I had expected that mine would have been long as well. Actually, it was when I saw that xvinfo indicated no adaptors were present on my system that I decided I needed to ask someone about that. Am I right in assuming that the adaptors should have been installed or configured or whatever when I installed Linux? Of course, I could be on a completely wrong track, but I'm thinking that XFree86 has something to do with this and maybe mine is not recent enough. I'm using XFree86-4.3-5mdk. This came up again when I was downloading. Two of the libraries I needed apparently are included in XFree86-4.3-30mdk which comes with ML10 but not ML9.1 or 9.2. XFree86 in 9.1 only goes up to 4.3-8. What kernel? Have you upgraded? The kernel is 2.4.21-0.25mdk. I notice that the kernel with ML10 is 2.4.25. Do you know if trying to install and run XFree86-4.3-30 with my current kernel will cause problems? It's looking like I may have to upgrade to ML10 if I want mplayer to work correctly. Two things, where'd you find *that* kernel and why don't you download the update kernel? ftp://ftp.proxad.net/pub/Distributions_Linux/Mandrake/official/updates/9.1/RPMS/kernel-2.4.21.0.32mdk-1-1mdk.i586.rpm I need the kernel sources (for something else) and that file takes a couple of days to download using my system. ML9.1 comes with 2.4.13 or something. I did two upgrades of the kernel to get where I am now, so I know it takes a long time for me to bag the sources. If you're wondering why I always link to proxad in Paris it's because I know it's synchronized to Mandrake and it's fast. I know it's slow on dial up but it is a security and usability issue. I don't mind the download taking so long generally (it all happens in the background anyway), but I'm currently sitting on the fence debating on whether to upgrade altogether. I'm very happy with the way my system is currently working and this is a very busy time for me, so I'm not excited about upgrading.
