from:"Mandrake"

I just installed Mandrake 10 from CD.  The install is pretty
basic -- no office, development environment and basic network
services.  From the new machine, I can ping other computers both
inside and outside my network.  I cannot ping the new machine
from other machines on my local network, nor can I access any of
the network services (ssh server).

I've checked all the usual stuff (IP address, netmask) and it's
accurate.

What else should I look for?

Neither of them are installed (already have a NetBSD firewall). 
What's really weird is that this machine also cannot ping itself
by either of its addresses (127.0.0.1 or fixed IP 192.168.2.1).  Any
other ideas?

And before you ask, my local network is 192.168.2.0/24 so as to
not interfere with VPN connections to a remote 192.168.1.0/24
network.

Winning response... thank you.  I changed the security level from
4 to 3 and can now ping and ssh to the new server.  But now I
have another question...

Is there a way to use a higher security level and tweak it to
enable certain types of access.  E.g., I don't really care about
not having ping, but would like to have ssh.  I see a couple of
files (security.4 and security.5) in /etc/security/msec... is it
possible that the .4 and .5 correspond to levels and lists what's
allowed?

[newbie] Audigy 2 ZS Sound Problem fixed and here is what I did

2004-03-19 Thread Mandrake User

I recently did a clean installation of Mandrake 10.0
Community. The installation process lived up to
Mandrake's fame as a user-friendly distro. Only
problem I had was the Audigy 2 ZS sound card could not
work. 

If you have the same problem, you might be interested
to know that the optical raw needs to be turned off
(which is on by default) in order for Audigy 2 to play
sound. I used Alsa mixer to turn it off. Not sure
about other mixers but I recommend using Alsa.

In addition, Linuxquestions.org is a very nice website
for newbies to ask questions as most are very willing
to offer suggestions there.

Thank you all who tried to help in one way or another.
Cheers!

[newbie] Soundblaster Audigy 2 no sound in MDK 10 Community

2004-03-18 Thread Mandrake User

Hello robin,

I have an audigy 2 LS and can't get it to work on Mandrake 10.0 as well. I checked mixer settings and volume was on. Soundcard was correctly detected and module loaded. I looked through everywhere and did everything I could but still cannot get it to work. The same soundcard was working fine in Mdk 9.2 but ceased to function in Mdk 10.0 community(clean installation with cd 1-4). I will be very happy if I can get it to work.


Here is my old thread in this mailing list:




Already searched google, all the linux forums I know
as well as Mandrake sites. Not much info. on Mandrake
10.0 Community it seems. I posted my problem on some
forums, still awaiting for replies.

Sound card is detected, module loaded and mixers
turned on...what did I miss? hmmm

I found an old post that suggested "ls -L -l /dev/dsp"
, any idea what does it do? Anyway, when I tried it,
here's what I got:

  Well, your soundcard seems to be recognized okay.
  The culprit could be alsa being turned off. Is it
 on purpose? Also
  try to install aumix, from what I have (thanks to
 Anne) it's better
  than kmix. HTH, Fajar.
 
 My Audigy Platinum was not satisfactory under 9.2
 until I changed the 
 driver.  The oss driver was the default, and I
 changed it to 
 snd-emu10k1, the alsa driver.

RE: [newbie] 9.1 a no go while 9.0 worked fine. Update.

2003-03-30 Thread mandrake

Derek,
At the # prompt I entered:urpme NVIDIA_GLX NVIDIA_kernel and got the error
message:
unknown package.
Decided to Reinstall 9.0 and did a much better job (more attention to
detail).
However, I reformatted the / partition but did not reformat the /home
partition.  Now a number of strange things are happening. KDE will not load
and problem with (SIGSEGV) and so on.  I will Install a 3rd time and wipe
both partitions and have everything fresh.  
I am learning a lot about installing.  When 9 is running I will try to learn
something about the programs.
Thanks
Leo

That error will because the system is picking up your old NVIDIA_GLX glx 
extension instead of the Mesa glx extension the open source driver uses.

The simple solution is to uninstall the old Nvidia drivers.
You can do that from a root console with the command
urpme NVIDIA_GLX NVIDIA_kernel

[newbie-it] X-CD-Roast su mdk8.2

2002-04-16 Thread Paolo - Mandrake


Salve a tutti.

Ho installato la mdk8.2, ed ho visto che ha attivato in automatico il 
supermount: e' una funzione davvero utile.

Premetto di avere un lettore CDROM 32x TEAC, un masterizzatore WAITEC WT624 
ed uno scanner Artec AT6, il tutto SCSI su un controller Advansys.

Il problema e' che X-CD-Roast si rifiuta di funzionare:
Se inserisco un CD con dei dati che voglio masterizzare, X-CD-Roast mi dice 
che il CD e' vuoto (Ho provato ad inserirlo sia nel lettore che nel 
masterizzatore...)

Ho provato a dare il comando da root:

supermount disabled

Ma il problema persiste.

Ho anche modificato il file /etc/fstab togliendo le linee che richiamano il 
supermount, e aggiungendo (da Linuxconf) i dispotivi appena rimossi, per non 
fargli usare il supermount.

Ho riavviato il tutto, ma niente da fare.


Ho notato anche che il comando 'cdrecord -scanbus' mi risponde cosi':

You cannot have any other system on a machine running SNF.  Dual-boots

Well you don't update newer kernels, you _install_ them.  Download and

The name is different so it will install alongside the older kernel and

compiled for an older one, which is a sad situation.


Yeah, I know that.  But basically, if I succeed in installing my new kernel-2.4.18 
over my default kernel-2.4.8 of Mandrake 8.1, it would also be called an upgrade 
'cause I won't use my old kernel anymore.

Going back with my problem, anybody knows how to upgrade a newer kernel version using

[newbie] Error messages during shutting down

2002-01-11 Thread Mandrake Newbie


Hello everybody!  =)

I'm currently using Mandrake 8.1 on Asus CUVR4X-C motherboard, Intel Pentium III 800 
Mhz, 384 MB SDRAM and 20 GB Seagate Barraccuda 7200 RPM hard disk drive.

My problem started when I successfully installed kernel-2.4.16.9mdk-1-1mdk.i586.rpm in 
my Mandrake 8.1 system.  As most (if not all) of you know, Mandrake 8.1 has a default 
kernel version of 2.4.8.  Basically, I did upgrade my default kernel.  I installed my 
new kernel version using the command of:

# rpm -ivh kernel-2.4.16.9mdk-1-1mdk.i586.rpm

Also, my partitions and filesystems are:

/boot - ext2fs
/usr  - XFS
/home - XFS
/opt  - XFS
/var  - XFS
swap
/ - ext2fs

...and I also add lines in my LILO for my new kernel to boot-up.

Actually, I am encountering error messages during shutting down my system.  Below are 
the error messages that are displayed during shutdown:

/etc/rc0.d/S01halt:  line -76: 5401  segmentation fault  $*

What does the error messages mean?  How will I get over it?

So far, I haven't encountered any problems yet using my new kernel 2.4.16.9 installed 
except for the error messages during shutting down.

Thanks in advance for your help.

Hello, gurus!

I was trying to change from my default runlevel 5 to single user mode (runlevel 1)

I am using Mandrake 8.1, default kernel 2.4.8.

How do I upgrade on this?  Do I still have to change from my default runlevel 5 to 
single user mode (runlevel 1)?  What is more appropriate rpm command in upgrading my 
2.4.8 to 2.4.13 kernel, the rpm -ivh package_name or rpm -Uvh package_name?  If 
I'll issue the command of:

# rpm -ivh or -Uvh package_name

do I still need to configure or something or it will automatically set up?

Thanks for your help.

God bless you...

[ Sorry for this OT. ]

Hello!  =)

Can you point me to a complete URL where I can download a good book on Perl for free?  
As much as possible, it would be free for download 'cause I don't have enough money to 
buy expensive books.

Thanks in advance.  =)

Re: [newbie] Linux Mandrake vs Linux Suse

[EMAIL PROTECTED] wrote:

Generally speaking I am thinking that US is not that
strong on Linux market. RedHat is of course an
american company but it looks that is not that popular
as these two distributions.


I don't have any comments about this.  Sorry.


If I would like to compare two distributions(see
Mandrake vs Suse) which should be the criteria ?

Can we say that Mandrake is more user firendly than
Suse ? or Suse is faster than Mandrake ?
Are out there some clear outlined criteria on
comparing these Linux distributions ?


I don't have any comments about this 'cause I wasn't able to use Suse in the first 
place.


The reason is that I am a developer currently working
on Microsoft platform but I intend to enlarge my skill
set and knowledge with Java. For me Java has a bright
future on Linux and this makes me to focus on Java
development.


Good for you.


At the moment I need a good distribution to stick to,
let's say... . I had the feeling that Suse is a more
solid Linux distro, a more Server and development
focused. I may be wrong thinking in this way, but this
is the feeling which I have.


Well, it depends on how you configure your box.  There's no such thing as best 
distro.


I think will not be bad for Mandrake to include in its
distro more support for developers and especially for
Java.

I suggest that the following things should be included
on further Mandrake distros:
1. Java JDK
2. Java JRE
3. Most Java Application Servers -- Jboss, Orion, etc
4. Java IDE such as: JBuilder, IBM VisualAge, etc
5. Borland's Kylix
6. Other IDE and tools which may be of interest for
developers.


That's actually a good suggestion but I don't think they will.  Those packages that 
you mentioned are not Open Source and basically, I don't think Sun, Borland, etc. 
will just permit Mandrake without this so-called partnership.  Just like what Suse 
and Oracle did.


Many of the tools presented above are open source or
could be easily included on Mandrake's cds distro. 


I don't think so.  As I've mentioned, those softwares are NOT Open Source, AFAIK.  
Besides, as what I've said, it is not that easy to include those softwares in their 
(Mandrake) next version 'cause it needs the permission of the companies' concerned.  
If that's the case, Mandrake should include StarOffice also or probably OpenOffice.

Keep cool!  =)

What is your recommended UPS for a Linux Mandrake 8.1 server?  I'm in the search of a

Sorry for this OT.

Anyway, I would like to ask your opinion to what Socket A Motherboard for AMD Athlon 
1.x Ghz would you like to recommend to me?  I am planning to build my all-in-one 
server for my small Internet cafe.  Also, what UPS is good for this kind of server 
would you like to recommend to me?

By the way, I am planning to install Linux Mandrake 8.1 in that server and probably 
I'll make it also as the Linux Terminal Server http://www.ltsp.org/, that is if I 
can make it.

Thanks in advance.

I think the Open Source databases that I know as of the moment are PostgreSQL, MySQL

Apache is a web server while Squid is a proxy server.

You don't need to convert your Win boxes to Linux.

I assumed that your Win and Linux boxes are well-configured on their individual IP 
addresses.  In short they communicate each other.  You just need to install NFS, 
Samba, OpenSSH to your Linux box and Putty to your Win boxes.

[newbie] Problem with Xine 0.9.2


Hello,

I just downloaded the xine packages of lib and ui version 0.9.2.  I made a directory 
for xine at /usr/share/xine and ui is under the lib directory.  In short, the path is:

for lib:

/usr/share/xine/lib

for ui:

/usr/share/xine/lib/ui

I followed the xine installation how-to that lib should be compiled first before ui.  
I ./configure, make, make install successfully on my lib but when I start to make my 
ui, the lib PATH wasn't able to recognized/find by ui.  But I already set the PATH for 
the lib.  Have you encountered this problem before?  If it's okay with you, could you 
please tell me what is the step by step how to build my xine package?

BTW, I also want to delete some of my PATH patterns but I already forgot how I did 
this before.  Could you please tell me how?

Any help will be much appreciated.

Thanks in advance.
