[Kassem Nasser]

Hi all ,
I am using currently Mandrake10.0 and I was trying to run an OpenGL
program when I got the following error:
Xlib:  extension "GLX" missing on display ":0.0"
And by the way anybody knows any mailinglist specific for OpenGL.
Can any body help me out

Re: [newbie] ssh: read from socket failed in a fresh 10.1

[cervixcouch]

Its a shot in the dark, but besides ensuring that ssh connections are
allowed at the firewall, have you tried going into the hidden directory
.ssh in your home directory and deleting or emptying the file
"known_hosts"?

I found out the Video card is an NVidia Riva 128. This video card does not
need special Nvidia drivers or kernel modules, and should be supported by
the default "nv_drv" driver for X. 

Since I don't recall fussing with Nvidia drivers where I did the 9.2
install, this makes sense. 

Are there other things I could be looking for that might cause this kind of
freeze? 

Thanks again!

Mark

I also had a similar experience when helping a friend upgrade to
Mandrake 10.

With 9.2, he was happily dual booting with Windows 95 (98?).
After upgrading to 10.0, selecting the "windows" option produces
a black screen with a blinking cursor.

However, if I go to BIOS and tell it to boot off of the Windows drive
first, Windows boots fine and appears to be undisturbed.  

I believe he tried switched to grub and got the same result.
Is there any way to make lilo or grub boot Windows again? It's on a
second drive all by itself.

That was to the expert list and does not apply to newbie.

If you still want the rpms for imlib2-1.1.2 I have attached a spec file
which will allow you to build the appropriate Mdk rpms for them and
install using -Uvh

It builds as shown for Mdk 10.1 but if you are running 10.0/9.2 add
%define __libtoolize/bin/true 
below the existing line 
%define release 0.1mdk.cae

It's fixed now, ie., I have a way to back off the change to version 1.1.2 and
urpmi the 'official' MDK version. Done it twice now, in fact, just to make sure
;-)

Turns out, AFAICT, that the old 'medium contrib uses an invalid list' error was
the stumbling block. It could be coincidence, but once I got rid of that error
(been meaning to do that for awhile...) and ran 'urpmi.update -a -c -f && rpm
--rebuilddb && updatedb && ldconfig -v', all behaved as it should.

Thanks to all who replied, and esp. to Charlie who replied to me offlist and got
me to finally nix that 'contrib' warning.

Urpmi is weird and wonderful, tha's fer sure.

As an aside, if I install the Mandrake RPM for libimlib2, PyPanel 2.0 still runs
(though it shouldn't) and so does Eterm, but not Esetroot. If I forcibly remove
the Mandrake RPM, and do a make install of the newer version, everything works.

I think I'll hold off upgrading any other libs for awhile, I'm pushin' me luck.

If comcast is anything like Earthlink, shouldn't it be smtpauth.comcast.net?  
Also, the only EL will work for me in Kmail is in the security setting 
Encryption is set to TLS and Authentication is set to "login"  In the EL 
support group they tell me that CRAM-MD5  will work, however it gives me 
the same error as you.

Should, but doesn't (man, when I make a mess...):

My problem is now compounded by the fact that rpm thinks libimlib2 is already
installed, but it's not. I've tried rebuilding my RPM database, still no go (see
other posts).

Knowing as much as you do about RPM's, is it that big of a deal that my version
of libimlib2 is different than the devel libs (which I need to build Pekwm) and
the 'loaders' and 'filters'? IIRC, you're an Enlightenment guru too, no? ;-)
Could I build and install the 1.1.2 versions of all the Imlib2 components, and
if so, how?

Pekwm seems to be running fine, even though it was built against the older devel
libs...

Your reply is very much appreciated, considering your last...er...comments :-)

rpm -e libimlib2_1-devel-1.0.6-4.1.92mdk (add --nodeps if needed)
and then
rpm -Uvh /usr/src/RPM/RPMS/i586/imlib2-1.1.2-1mdk.i586.

It should now install cleanly

Yep, see upcoming post, should be arriving right about now. Weird shite, but so

Okay, so on a tip from offlist, I ran this:

urpmi.update --wget -a -c -f && rpm --rebuilddb && updatedb && ldconfig

*Still*, urpmi thinks libimlib2_1 is installed, though it is not.

Shite!

Joe, did you do "rpm --rebuilddb && updatedb" before you tried the reinstall. 
It might be that the old "headers" (?) need to be cleaned out. HTH

Except if you already have a "linux" entry, you'd want to name this one

I'm fairly sure that just updates my sources, it didn't help. I looked at 'man
rpm', and there's a --rebuilddb switch, but I'm gonna check the Twiki before I
run anything with 'rebuild' in it ;-)

For me it looks like he didn't install lilo (or grub) in MBR. Ask him is
his computer booting straight to XP? If so I'd say - yeah, no boot
loader. To fix it he'll have to boot from mandrake cd and press F1 on

When during the Mandrake installation process does he get this message?
Is he _booting_ from the first install CD, or is he looking at the CD
when he's in Winblows?

[newbie] apic noapic...

[Bac]

Ciao ragazzi, un consiglio per favore. Succede che quando mi allontano dalla 
mia box per qualche tempo, diciamo un oretta e mezzo per esempio, al ritorno 
trovo tutto "congelato"... non risponde più nulla e son costretto a 
resettare. Voi che dite, è un problema nella gestione del risparmio 
energetico, del tipo che mi spegne gli hard disk e buonanotte al secchio? 
Apic noapic potrebbe risolvere secondo voi? Si mette nel lilo.conf 
quest'opzione?
Grazie
Ovviamente Mandrake, 10.1 CE

  Just to be 100% sure that I understand correctly is he unable to boot into 
ML or XP after the installation. Your email makes it sound like he is having 
trouble booting into ML but from my personal experience booting into PX is 
generally the problem. 

I just went through that problem a month ago.

[newbie] Dual booting with XP

[Keith Powell]

I am trying to wean a friend off Windows and on to Mandrake, so I have sent 
him a set of Mandrake CDs to install. He was supposed to install it on its 
own hard drive, but has changed his mind and wants it on the same drive as 
WindowsXP.

I have received an e-mail from him saying that when he tries to install 
Mandrake, he gets a message saying to do a reboot and Mandrake will be 
loaded. This he does and then XP is started. He can get no further.

Has anyone any suggestions I can pass on to him, please -apart from telling 
him not to dual boot?

I have no first-hand experience of WindowsXP or dual-booting, so don't know 
what to suggest.

If any further information is needed, I will ask him for it.

Many thanks

Keith

I finally found a how-to.  I believe the problem was that I wasn't specifying 
CRAM-MD5 as the autentication method.

[newbie] NEC USB 2.0 PCI controller

[Miark]

Howdy all--been a while.

I bought a NEC 5-port USB 2.0 PCI controller so I can use my
external drives. (Well, I could use them before, but at USB 1
speeds, why would you want to?) MDK 10.0 can see it and
apparently is running the correct drivers for it:

  $ lspci 
  00:0f.0 USB Controller: NEC Corporation USB (rev 43)
  00:0f.1 USB Controller: NEC Corporation USB (rev 43)
  00:0f.2 USB Controller: NEC Corporation USB 2.0 (rev 04)

  $ lspcidrake
  usb-ohci  : NEC|USB [SERIAL_USB]
  usb-ohci  : NEC|USB [SERIAL_USB]
  ehci-hcd  : NEC Corporation|PCI to USB Enhanced Host Controller [SERIAL_USB]

but when I plug my external harddrive into it, the harddrive does
not show up. At least nowhere I can find it. The hardware itself
is fine as the set-up works fine in Winblows. Any ideas?

Miark

RE: [newbie] Permissions in a network

[Bill Shirley]

Yes, you can do this.  Make a unix group for these users.
As root:

groupadd staff

Now add users to this group.  There may be a GUI way to do
this but I would just edit /etc/group and add the users' name
to the staff group.

Now make the directory:

mkdir -m 2770 /home/staff /home/staff/sharedfiles
chmod .staff /home/staff /home/staff/sharedfiles

Now these users can share files by putting them in
/home/staff/sharedfiles

[newbie] KMail smtp authentication problem

[Brandon Rife]

Hi,
Is anyone using using Kmail  to send mail through  smtp.comcast.net?  
I'm trying out KMail in lieu of Thunderbird because I like the KDE 
integration but I am unable to send email.  The error is:

Authentication failed.
Most likely the password is wrong.
The server responded: "Authentication failure"
I've re-entered the password 10 times and I'm sure that it, as well as 
the user id, is correct and I do know that smtp.comcast.net requires 
authentication.  The same user id, password works fine with pop3 - I 
have no problem fetching mail using KMail.  I'm probably mindlessly 
missing something

Thanks!

[newbie] urpmi problem

[JoeHill]

I wanted to install an updated version of Imlib2 (see 'Python help' thread).

At first, I built it, made a checkinstall RPM, did an rpm -Uvh , and
it installed okay.

Then I realized I had built it without using --prefix=/usr (bangs head against
table, table breaks).

So, I uninstalled it with 'rpm -e --nodeps', intending to rebuild imlib2
properly and reinstall. However, now:

rpm -Uvh /usr/src/RPM/RPMS/i586/imlib2-1.1.2-1mdk.i586.
Preparing...### [100%]
file /usr/lib/libImlib2.so.1 from install of imlib2-1.1.2-1mdk conflicts
with file from package libimlib2_1-1.0.6-4.1.92mdkfile
/usr/bin/imlib2-config from install of imlib2-1.1.2-1mdk conflicts with file

of imlib2-1.1.2-1mdk conflicts with file from package
libimlib2_1-devel-1.0.6-4.1.92mdk

...so, I thought what I would do is reinstall the *old* imlib2, but no go:

urpmi libimlib2_1
medium "contrib" uses an invalid list file:
  mirror is probably not up-to-date, trying to use alternate method
Everything already installed

even though it is clearly no longer installed:

[EMAIL PROTECTED]:~>$rpm -qa | grep imlib

libimlib2_1-loaders-1.0.6-4.1.92mdk

libimlib1-1.9.14-8mdk
libimlib2_1-devel-1.0.6-4.1.92mdk
[EMAIL PROTECTED]:~>$

So far nothing is *broken*, ie. I can install the newest imlib2 with just 'make
install' and everything appears to work OK, however I would like to have it
installed as an RPM so that MDK doesn't think it's missing at some point in the
future.

Thanks all!

Okay, I mailed a few people and got a link to the source, it's now up to 1.1.2:

http://sourceforge.net/project/showfiles.php?group_id=2

...wy down at the bottom.

You will need at the very least libtool-devel (urpmi libtool-devel) to build it,
probably also freetype2 devel libs and same for X11R6. Ziljian, the developer,
was very helpful, BTW.

I'm going to build a checkinstall RPM of it and install from that.
Unfortunately, I would seriously doubt that the RPM I build would work on a 10.0
machine or higher. Any RPM experts have an answer on that one? Charles? CHARLES,
I KNOW YOU ARE LISTENING/LURKING...LOL!

Long story short, I've got PyPanel 2.0 running now, there are some sweet new
features if you look at the changelog (tinting, nicer icons...), so give it a
shot :-)

Just in case I totally am reading this wrong and you are actually interested 
in using Linux to do installs of Linux via the network without CD's, etc., 
here is a link to a Network Install Howto that covers three distributions but 
is applicable to general Linux as well.

Just for the record, you might want to explain in a bit more detail what you 
mean by "monitor."  Do you mean something that relays information to you 
real-time, something that watches for a particular condition and then 
performs an action, something that gets triggered if a particular error 
condition occurs (such as loss of connectivity), etc.  The term monitor can 
be used in a lot of different ways and the ultimate answer depends on what 
you want to do.

So, you want to use Linux to automate the process of installing Windows XP?!?

Just off the top of my head, but I don't think that any Linux developer has 
spent time developing a particular distribution or version of Linux 
application to automate the process of installing Windows XP.

If sshd is running then all you need do is open port 22 in your firewall.
You can do that from the MandrakeControlCentre>Security>Firewall GUI

If you are going to open ssh to the internet you should appreciate that 
although ssh is more secure than telnet, it is only as secure as the 
authentication system you are using. So use strong passwords.

You can also prohibit login by root user by putting the line
PermitRootLogin no
in /etc/sshd_config  (It might be the default I do not remember)

Another measure you can take to increase security is to authenticate using ssh 
keys. This is described in a very good article written by Vincent Danen which 
seems to have disappeared from the MandrakeSecure web site but is preserved 
on a mirror at http://gorzow-wlkp.net/linux/dodatkowe/ssh_uk.html

I have an intel 536EP modem. I did manage to get it just about working under 
9.0 and 9.1 using the drivers from Intels site, but it was a gruesome task 
and involved a convoluted detection routine using minicom after each boot-up.

Under 9.2 and 10.0 I have never been able to get it working at all.

I know that it is not what you asked for, but my advice would be to ditch this 
modem and get an external serial modem which will just work out of the box 
with no hassle at all. I eventually did this and then kicked myself for all 
the time I had wasted on the 536EP
