Gil Gil, you should provide more details in your message for us to be helpful! A cut and paste of the output of shell commands, in particular, could help understand what's going on on your machine. Does ping 127.0.0.1 work? You should see something like 64 bytes from 127.0.0.1:... repeated on the screen until you press CTRL-C. Understand that telnet is composed by a client (invoked as # telnet) and a server (named telnetd, note the final 'd'). Normally the server is _not_ installed by default. On MDK9.0 the server package is named telnet-server-krb5-1.2.5-1mdk To make sure the server is installed, type # urpmi telnet-server-krb5 You should get a message like everything already installed. I installed the telnet server on my MDK to check. First of all, it's a xinetd service, so it will not normally be shown by ps (I was wrong on this regard in my previous message). xinetd is a daemon that monitors the incoming calls on all ports and starts the registered services on request. So, try this: # service xinetd start Do you get an OK? To double check, type # ps -ax | grep xinetd you should see two lines. Then, go to /etc/xinetd.d and do an ls. Do you see there a file named telnet? This is the telnet server configuration file read by xinetd daemon when it detects an incoming request on the telnet port. Open it with a text editor and check that it contains the line disable = no (it means that the telnet server is enabled). Finally, open /etc/xinetd.conf and check that it _does_not_ contain any only_from lines. If it does, delete them. There's not much more to telnetd configuration. good luck, raffaele [EMAIL PROTECTED] wrote: On Tuesday 25 February 2003 09:36, Raffaele Belardi wrote: Raffaele it seems that i can't start telnet service when i do service telnet start i get ok but in mcc the status is stop hosts.allow and hosts.deney are empty.

Others can supply the info and links, but I will give you one... http://kt.zork.net/kernel-traffic/kt2214_54.html#2 Basically WD disks are bad juju for linux. The real problem here may be one of mathematics, though. WD has this penchant for producing single-platter disks with one rack of heads each side (weigh it on a scale against competitive products and you will find the WD disk lighter) This means that the track number may be overflowing what Kdiskfree has available for track numbers with a resulting problem in viewing the disk. At one time the linux kernel would carve up big WD drives differently than the BIOS would with results that were just fantastic, but no other drives had ANY problems. This was true in Mandrake 7.1 and 7.2 for certain, but was corrected in kernel 2.2.19. Now, stop trusting kdf and let's see what dmesg says. Post the results and we'll see what the kernel says about free space. If there is still a problem, most likely the kernel's math will have to be adjusted for the most recent WD cheapness shortcut and another item will have to be added to the kernel's internal blacklist of cantankerous drives requiring special handling.

Others can supply the info and links, but I will give you one... http://kt.zork.net/kernel-traffic/kt2214_54.html#2 Basically WD disks are bad juju for linux. The real problem here may be one of mathematics, though. WD has this penchant for producing single-platter disks with one rack of heads each side (weigh it on a scale against competitive products and you will find the WD disk lighter) This means that the track number may be overflowing what Kdiskfree has available for track numbers with a resulting problem in viewing the disk. At one time the linux kernel would carve up big WD drives differently than the BIOS would with results that were just fantastic, but no other drives had ANY problems. This was true in Mandrake 7.1 and 7.2 for certain, but was corrected in kernel 2.2.19. Now, stop trusting kdf and let's see what dmesg says. Post the results and we'll see what the kernel says about free space. If there is still a problem, most likely the kernel's math will have to be adjusted for the most recent WD cheapness shortcut and another item will have to be added to the kernel's internal blacklist of cantankerous drives requiring special handling.

If it doesn't play your cds, go to Derek's linux page www.jennings.homelinux.net and read the section there.

A possible reason: ppp will not connect if you have default gateway already set when ppp is asked to connect. And you probably have default gateway already set.

Most of what I've learned regarding the uses of ISOs, CD-Rs, CD-RWs etc in GNU/Linux came from the page at the link below or is linked from there. It's a good place to start. http://www.cpqlinux.com/cdrw.html Eroaster is a front end for cdrecord. It only reads IDE devices that are 'SCSI emulated' and you'll need to add IDE-SCSI to append the stanza in: /etc/lilo.conf that shows your CD-ROM. eg.: hdx=ide-scsi where 'x' is the a, b, c, etc of the drive. All of the editing you want to do there has to be done as super user (su) or root. In your case you should add hdc=ide-scsi for your cd-rom to the append lines. This will sometimes cause it's own troubles too. Once you add the phrase to the append line that's there open a terminal and as su (root) type: sbin/lilo -v then at the new prompt: reboot -n. You should be able to have eroaster recognise the cdrom as a read device after that reboot. Hopefully. If I've made any errors I'm sure one of our list-mates will correct me. Or just find (in any mirror's contrib directory) k3b and install and use that instead for copying disk to disk. This is a link to one place you can find it: ftp://mirrors.secsup.org/pub/linux/mandrake/Mandrake/9.0/contrib/RPMS and you can use the KDE package manager to install it so it'll appear on the menus. I'm absolutely _not_ certain if any of the above will do you any good since it's not the method I use. If I need to copy a disk I just copy it to a hard drive (any of the 4) and burn the copy from there. Small relatives are bad news on any CDs that aren't backed up; even though they never seem to touch the ones that have been copied and can't get at the originals. When I hear Shiny Frisbee!!!

RE: [newbie] UPDATE from 7.0 to 7.1 is Ridiculously SLOW
I understand that now but it is poor design. An index and data base of some kind similar to DARE I SAY IT the windows registry or some other design that has what is there would be what is needed. There is a long way to go here. It does not take that long to upgrade a large AS/4000 with a new OS, and there is a LOT more to depend on. Thanks to the supersede/prereq/coreq ability of the PTF system. Something similar and on a smaller scale is needed. It is totally ridiculous and totally pour to take that lung. An upgrade should ALWAYS take less time than a new install in a well designed system in my opinion.

WHY then is it slow on update but faster on new install? The hardware does not change. My slower system which has 2 IDE CDROMS is faster by far. My CDROM drives are not on the same cable, they are on the auxiliary IDE controllers. Definitely NOT on the same cable for the IDE and of course the SCSI is a different adapter altogether. I don't know what the problem is but that is not the answer. Gill The drive you are using will have only a minor effect on the time. A new install takes roughly an hour wereas an upgrade install can take anywhere from 3 to 15 hours to complete. When you do a new install all the programs and settings are copied to your hd as is, therefore it takes only a short time. When you do an upgrade install the installation program must check every program, setting, dependency,etc., that is currently on your system against every package on the CD to see if an upgrade is needed, make any needed changes and still try not affect any "data" or settings you might have entered. The more you have customised, and the more programs you have added the longer the upgrade will take. Charles

If your using XFree86 4.0 then it is in the InputDevice section like this. Option "Protocol" "IMPS/2" Option "ZAxisMapping" "4 5" Option "Buttons" "3" 3.3.6 has the same things but I think it is in the "Pointers" section and just: Protocol=IMPS/2 ZAxisMapping=4 5 Buttons=3 But don't quote me on that. Edit the file and "When in Rome do as the Romans" whatever you input should mimick the current entries. The Quotes are required here. It sounds like you have a USB mouse but have it connected to a PS/2 port so it should work with the standard driver. By default Mandrake 7.1 install sets the mouse type to just PS/2 and that breaks the wheel stuff. I also had to edit /etc/X11/Xsession and comment out the part where they run imwheel -k and put my own line in just above it that says imwheel -k. Also because of problems witht he pid file I had to recompile the imwheel and make it suid root, or you could just set the suid bit on the imwheel binary. That is a security risk, but I wanted my wheel. I'm not sure how to run it without the SUID bit set. What is the pid file and how do I find and recompile and install again (if that is what is done ?) the imwheel program? How do I set that bit. I am not worried about security, this is just a hoe machine to play with. Of course does this mean I am always root and can accidentally destroy things, not good! ? I hope it gets better support and setup SOON. :-) By the way the optical sensor is THE BEST thing that ever happened to a mouse. ABSOLUTELY no problem with dirty wheels any more, and it is very precise motion, and needs no pad. If you do not have one, get it, you will be glad that you did. One of the two I have has two side buttons that you can program. Default is forward and back although I turn them off. I hit them too easily accidentally.

[newbie] Network problems with proxy
Under windows I can have my cable modem on one NIC and 192.168.0.1 on the other and using a proxy server called spoon proxy. I can then use in the other system (windows) 192.168.0.2 and set Netscape to use a proxy of 192.168.0.1 and all is well I can get to the web. Under LINUX this used to work but I got some new cards. At this time I have the ability to ping my windows machine at 192.168.0.1 from my Linux at 192.168.0.2. I have the gateway set to 192.168.0.1 as before When I try to get anything on the web with the same proxy setup in Netscape I had been using it says host contacted, waiting but it waits forever. I get no reply. Any particular place to start to look for this? It is frustrating that windows-windows works perfectly but windows as host (cable here) to Linux SUDDENLY is not.

Hi everybody,
I have been trying to install MDK7.1x on to my older Dell Dimensions XPS
200s MMX('ala 1997).
I have a two drives configured with a Creative CD-ROM and Iomega ZIP
drive. The original OS is Win95.
Original Hard Drive (sorry I do not have the name)
A) 3 Gig. drive connected the first bus (I'm not sure of the brand
name)-has Win95 on 1st partition
Recent Hard drive (Fujitsu)
B) 10 Gig. drive connected to the second bus (Fujitsu - purchased last
year)-has Win98SE on 1st partition
MDK Installation 7.0
MDK7.0 never installed on the 10 Gig. as it went to text mode and
appeared to not recognize the hard drive. All I could see was the large
penguin in the top left corner while slowly scrolling up line by line.
The MDK7.0 installation CD is for Pentium i586 and higher.
MDK Installation 7.1 Helium
So then I tried MDK 7.1. The installation got as far as searching and
configuring IDE and then it froze.
I tried stopping the installation and it finally blacked out to DOS. The
message indicated that some of drivers were older and may have to be
upgraded? Has any one experienced anything remotely similar?
This is a 10 Gig. Fujitsu, and its not that old.
It appears that the configuration may be a bit screwed up after adding
the additional hard drive.
Actually, I had a colleague configure this.
Any ideas?

It is obvious that for serious work for the home user, LINUX is NOT there yet. Maybe some day. Install trouble and lack of applications are the villains.
