[newbie] Cannot see contents of burnt data DVD
Hi all, Installed k3b-0.11.14 and dvd+rw-tools-5.21.4.10.8 last night. On firing up k3b I get a warning: cdrdao does not run with root privileges It is highly recommended to configure cdrdao to run with root privileges to increase the overall stability of the burning process. Solution: Use K3bSetup to solve this problem I tried clicking on the K3bSetup button via k3b's GUI and from a konsole but they both cannot find the K3bSetup2 program that is called. I closed the warning message box and went ahead and burnt a data DVD. This is what was returned in the finished report in case it can help anyone: System --- K3b Version:0.11.14 KDE Version: 3.1.3 QT Version: 3.1.2 growisofs --- Warning: creating filesystem that does not conform to ISO-9660. /dev/scsi/host0/bus0/target0/lun0/cd: engaging DVD-R DAO upon user request... /dev/scsi/host0/bus0/target0/lun0/cd: reserving 2292080 blocks /dev/scsi/host0/bus0/target0/lun0/cd: Current Write Speed is 2.0x1385KBps. 0.02% done, estimate finish Sun Sep 12 02:09:41 2004 0.04% done, estimate finish Fri Sep 10 16:37:37 2004 99.95% done, estimate finish Thu Sep 9 06:49:59 2004 99.98% done, estimate finish Thu Sep 9 06:50:00 2004 Total translation table size: 0 Total rockridge attributes bytes: 3293 Total directory bytes: 0 Path table size(bytes): 10 Max brk space used 0 2292070 extents written (4476 Mb) /dev/scsi/host0/bus0/target0/lun0/cd: flushing cache growisofs comand: --- /usr/local/bin/growisofs -Z /dev/scsi/host0/bus0/target0/lun0/cd -use-the-force-luke=notray -use-the-force-luke=tty -use-the-force-luke=dao -dvd-compat -speed=4 -gui -graft-points -volid X101 -volset -appid K3B-DVD -publisher -preparer K3b - Version 0.11.14 -sysid LINUX -volset-size 1 -volset-seqno 1 -sort /tmp/kde-magnet/k3bJcICfb.tmp -rational-rock -hide-list /tmp/kde-magnet/k3b1FcLFa.tmp -full-iso9660-filenames -allow-lowercase -iso-level 2 -path-list /tmp/kde-magnet/k3bnABAbc.tmp The problem is that my mandrake 9.2 box cannot see any content on this DVD fromat all however when I put the DVD into my windows XP laptop drive all the files are there fine!

Re: [newbie] enable sendmail/postfix without official domain name
... To declare an alias for root edit /etc/postfix/aliases and at the bottom it tells you to define the local user to be an alias for root. Insert your user name there and then as root run 'newaliases' and restart postfix with 'service postfix restart' You will then get the mail for root user. That's really fine now - but I have a last question (sorry ;-): How do I get rid of the name _root_ in front of the email-address (root [EMAIL PROTECTED])? The full address shows exactly the _virtual_ server and domain-name, but the user name _root_ is obviousely causing problems on my main pop-account (rejected due to security reasons...)

[newbie] LAN Question
Hello All, This is strange. In my office I still have 2 pc's with MS on them. My laptop and my pc have Mandrake 10.0 and all are set up on my LAN. Both, my laptop and my pc can see all the files and hard drives on the MS pc's, however my laptop cannot see my pc and my pc cannot see my laptop. They use to see each other. I have gone thru all the settings and everything seems to set correctly. Not sure why this is the way it is now. I must be missing something.

Samba client allows you to see other computers, and samba server allows them to see you. Check drakxservices and if samba refuses to start check the logs. If samba is running, then check you do not have a firewall in place.

Better solution: I'm thinking you may be greatly served by a software package called 'Webmin' which is available through urpmi (rpmdrake/Mandrake Software Center). I remember it as being a pretty easy way to configure your samba server. drakwizard has a wizard for samba, no clue on how good it is. If you want to learn solution: Open /etc/samba/smb.conf in your favorite editor find the line: workgroup = MDKGROUP change it to match whatever the winxp one has or whatever it is you actually want it to be, and /etc/rc.d/init.d/smb restart In Win98, go to (from memory, so improvise until you find it) Network Settings - Identification tap and find the workgroup name and change them to match the winxp settings. The thing about samba is it SEEMS much harder to configure than it is. For just sharing files on your home network, you can ignore 90% of the options.

Is that correct? Samba needs to have users and passwords configured. The users for your Win boxes must be identical, and have an identical password to the samba users on the Linux boxes. The Win boxes also have to belong to the same WORKGROUP as the Linux boxes, identified in your /etc/samba/smb.conf From here on, do everything as root. /etc/samba/smbusers needs to be written in the format you see inside--this is mine Unix_name = SMB_erylon SMB_hilary SMB_sarah SMB_eldon root = administrator admin nobody = guest pcguest smbguest The samba password needs to be set (in a console, as root) smbpasswd -a erylon would make one for me. Make one for each user (avoid hassles, just use the user system login password) /etc/samba/lmhosts gives samba a roadmap to IP/computer names of network machines. 127.0.0.1 localhost 192.168.0.101 BoxName1 192.168.0.102 BoxName2 192.168.0.103 BoxName3 etc Don't eliminate the 127.xx localhost entry. Add all 4 of your networked machines. /etc/hosts allows remote hosts to be identified by the samba box. The convention is: 127.0.0.1 localhost.localdomain localhost 192.168.0.101 BoxName1.workgroup_name 192.168.0.102 BoxName2.workgroup_name The localhost entry is required.Add an entry for each box on your network (there are easier ways, but this always works) This allows specific addresses to access the samba machine. This is the way I do mine, there are others, but this is secure enough for me, and simple. On a small network an IP for each machine here is no problem. On a large network you might want to us a range of addresses. ALL : 192.168.0.101 192.168.0.102 192.168.0.103 192.168.104 You probably want to configure your /etc/samba/smb.conf file to allow a share on your Linux boxes I make a directory /home/public (directories under /home can be easily made into a share) and give it world permissions: #mkdir /home/public #chmod 2777 /home/public. With msec enabled (which it is by default), you'll have to jump through some hoops or it will change the permissions on you (I disable msec because I know what permissions I want on directories and msec irritates me to no end). The entry for the share in the smb.conf file would look something like this: [Public] comment = public folder path = /home/public admin users = @workgroup_name write list = @workgroup_name force group = @workgroup_name read only = No inherit permissions = Yes guest ok = Yes Of course, substitute your actual machine names, workgroup name, user names, and actual ethernet addresses for each box in the above examples.
