[newbie] libstdc++
Hi to everybody. I was not able to install an rpm package (kmusicdb) because there is an unsatisfied dependency on the library file libstdc++-libc6.1-2.so.3. However this file does exist in my /usr/lib directory. Indeed it is a symbolic link. ll /usr/lib/libstdc++-libc6.1-2.so.3 returns lrwxrwxrwx1 root root 31 Feb 11 16:23 /usr/lib/libstdc++-libc6.1-2.so.3 - libstdc++-3-libc6.2-2-2.10.0.so* ll /usr/lib/libstdc++-3-libc6.2-2-2.10.0.so* returns -r-xr-xr-x1 root root 280232 Sep 1 17:21 /usr/lib/libstdc++-3-libc6.2-2-2.10.0.so* Can you help me?

[newbie] Mandrake and ISA cards
Hi, I want to report some problems of Mandrake 8.x which were not present with Mandrake 7.x, it is just an info for Mandrake developers. I installed MDK 7.x on two machines with ISA cards and it was a success: all hardware detected automatically and I got all my hardware working automatically. On the contrary, when updating to MDK 8.x, on one machine the ethernet 3com509 card was not detected and I moved back to MDK 7.x. On the other machine MDK 8.x detected the soundcard (classic soundblaster) but I was not able to get it working, detected my LS120 zip drive, but it did not mounted it because, having also a scsi controller, the system created an /etc/fstab very confused, my floppy 3.5 mounted on /mnt/floppy2 and hdb (my ls120) mounted on /mnt/floppy, but it does not work. On my PCI machine at home MDK 8.x installed succesfully. I saw the soundcard problem common to many people in newbie community but it seems not solved.

And there are the ALSA drivers as an alternative to the OSS/Free (AKA kernel) drivers. You didn't change any hardware before installing LM8.1 which could have caused conflicts? No , as far as I remember At boot I have the following message: Soundblaster audio driver Copyright (C) by Hannu Savolainen 1993-1996 sb: Creative ViBRA16X PnP detected sb: Sound Blaster Vibra16X sb config failed (out of resources?)[-2] This seems to be the problem.

[newbie] /dev/hdb for ls120 missing
Hi to everybody, I moved from MDK 7.1 to MDK 8.1 by reinstalling everything. I have a scsi computer but I also have a spcial ide device (LS120 120Mb floppy drive) which was automatically recognized by MDK 7.1. At boot of my new 8.1 system the device is recognized as before, since at boot I receive the message: Uniform Multi-Platform E-IDE driver Revision: 6.31 ide: Assuming 33MHz system bus speed for PIO modes; override with idebus=xx PIIX4: IDE controller on PCI bus 00 dev 21 PIIX4: chipset revision 1 PIIX4: not 100% native mode: will probe irqs later ide0: BM-DMA at 0xd800-0xd807, BIOS settings: hda:pio, hdb:pio ide1: BM-DMA at 0xd808-0xd80f, BIOS settings: hdc:pio, hdd:pio hdb: LS-120 F200 08 UHD Floppy, ATAPI FLOPPY drive ide0 at 0x1f0-0x1f7,0x3f6 on irq 14 ide-floppy driver 0.97 hdb: No disk in drive hdb: 123264kB, 963/8/32 CHS, 533 kBps, 512 sector size, 720 rpm The device has also been declared in the automatically built /etc/fstab file: /dev/sda7 / ext2 defaults 1 1 /dev/sda6 /boot ext2 defaults 1 2 none /dev/pts devpts mode=0620 0 0 none /dev/shm tmpfs defaults 0 0 /dev/scd0 /mnt/cdrom auto user,iocharset=iso8859-1,umask=0,exec,codepage=850,ro,noauto 0 0 /dev/hdb /mnt/floppy auto user,iocharset=iso8859-1,umask=0,sync,exec,codepage=850,noauto 0 0 /dev/fd0 /mnt/floppy2 auto user,iocharset=iso8859-1,umask=0,sync,exec,codepage=850,noauto 0 0 /dev/sda1 /mnt/windows vfat iocharset=iso8859-1,umask=0,codepage=850 0 0 none /proc proc defaults 0 0 /dev/sda5 swap swap defaults 0 0 But when I try to mount the device I receive the message: mount: special device /dev/hdb does not exist Indeed the file /dev/hdb does not exist! I see that in MDK 8.1 the organization of the directory /dev has changed a lot with respect to 7.1, now all devices declared in /dev are symbolic links, but I have not found ide devices even in the /dev/ide subdirectory.

Re: [newbie] can't access scanner (USB)
Peter Rymshaw wrote: I'm dual booting with W98, trying to make full switch to Linux step by step. I have a Visioneer 6200 USB scanner which Linux does not seem to be able to recognize. (The USB shows up in Mandrake Control Centerr, but no scanner.) I installed all RPMs named SANE and now have a ton of programs with that name, but still no sign of scanner and I have no idea how to access a sane window to see if there is any thing there that I need to configure. Is my problem simply that the scanner is not compatable, or is there something else that I need to do? Is SANE the right tool? I had a similar problem with an epson scanner. The mailing list helped me to solve the problem: I just edited the file /etc/sane.d/epson.conf I commented the line with SCSI epson and I uncommented the line with /dev/usbscanner. That's all I needed. Perhaps you should have a file similar to epson.conf with the name of your scanner.

[newbie] Epson USB scanner on Mandrake 7.1
Hi, I cannot install Mandrake 8 and so I would like to install an USB Epson scanner (1240) on my Mandrake 7.1 system but kernel 2.2.15 does not support USB scanners.

Re: [newbie] g77 compiling
Norman Teferle wrote: Dear all, can anyone tell me what command line arguments I have to use to compile Fortran 77 code on my Mandrake 8.0 box. The programs were compiled on IRIX6.5 using f77 with following command line options: -32 -O1 -C -r8 -static -check_bounds -c file.f -lv77 Some of these options do not seem to be supported on Linux using g77 and produce numerous compilation errors. The main problem you will find is that, to my knowledge, g77 does not support the option -r8 whichj means set default declaration REAL equivalent to REAL*8. Most of the options are also in g77 you can check them with man g77. Bye -- Renato Tognaccini, Dipartimento di Progettazione Aeronautica, Universita` di Napoli Federico II, Piazzale V.

[newbie] slocate and logrotate
Hi , I am running Mandrake 7.1 and I have the following problem. The process logrotate, executed each day by cron daemon, runs for hours (about 8 hours), when it stops, slocate process starts and it takes all the morning to do its job therefore I almost dedicate my CPU to perform these two processes each day!!! I already updated logrotate and syslogd from the net. I have a Pentium III (450 MHz). Do you know why these processes run so long?

Download the updates to logrotate and syslogd (almost correct). Those fix the problem. You can find them on rpmfind.net and also on the FTP sites for Mandrake. Paul Thank you for your help. However I updated logrotate and syslogd, but the problem is still present. I also removed all *.tgz files in /var/log, but no news. Can you help me?
