[newbie] Kaudioserver hang in 2.2.9 kernel

 Hi

 I've a problem with *ALL* kernel 2.2.9 ...

 you can see two Defunct and two Zombies (often there is only the audio)
 These are unkillable (I tried -KILL _TERM -9 0 -1 nothing to do) and so I
can't unmount root...
 I've have a SB64 PCI and it use es1370.

 Please help me. Thank to all in advance!

Re: [newbie] unmounting

1999-06-04 Thread Roberto Angelo

Hi,

 probably you are using Mdk 6.0 with kernel <= 2.2.9-19mdk keep new here

 http://coruscant.netrevolution.com/pub/Kernel/ 

 you ave to check how many kernel packages are installed in you machine

 rpm -q -a | grep kernel

 if you have a PC (and it's no a portable) you don't have need of pcmcia
 problably you don't have neet BOOT too, header and so on
 You have to uninstall the disk optimization if its activated (see at startup
screen) as follow:

 rpm -q -a | grep hdparm to have a nome_rpm (if it's installed)
 rpm -e [nome_rpm]

 upgrade initscripts too,  initscripts-4.16-24mdk.i586.rpm  
 you can get the rpm here:

 ftp://ftp.mandrakesoft.com/pub/bero/fixes/

 good work and excuse me for double reply

Re: [newbie] unmounting

you have to upgrade your 2.2.9-18 or 19mdk kernel to 23 

http://coruscant.netrevolution.com/pub/   keep new kernel

remeber to upgrade initscripts 24mdk too (you can find it in mandrake site on

If you can see at bootstart "hd optimization" remove hdparm too

 rpm -q -a | grep hdparm
 rpm -e [name that you can see over]

[newbie] kernel 2.2.5 error on CDROM

1999-05-17 Thread Roberto Angelo

Hi,

 I've a problem with the kernel 2.2.5-15 (installed from kpackage, I believe is 
kernel-2.2.5-15.i386.rpm). This kernel (2.2.5-mk5 works reguraly) hang my cdrw yamaha 
4416E bios 1.0b on SuperMicro P6SBA.

 Temporaly it's seem resolved by removing /dev/cd* but I mail you file that can be 
usefull to fix it (file0.txt before changing - file1.txt after changing)

 The strange error is more more frequently on burned CD respect the silver.

Re: [newbie] Guide to configuring ATAPI CD-R for Mandrake

I would burn my CDs on Linux but with a IDE-CDRW as Yahama 4416 the
common progs as cdwrite, cdrecord and Gcombust seem not works (and
explain that I have to activate the IDE-SCSI emulation).

 Hi,

 there is a good chance that with 2.2.5 version of kernel and after
there no need to be recompile kernel. I suppose it to see the strange
mode of acces to my yamaha 4416 EIDE.

 If someone can adds more, do it please.

  In my SiS 6236 card config file (/etc/X11/XF86Config) I have added
the line

 Option "no_linear"
 Option "sw_cursor"

   as you can found in the README.SIS (find / -iname readme.sis)
   First of this my X windows was black black and only icos was visible.
   Attention because only 8 bpp colors depth are allow with "no_linear"
   and gimps don't works

  -

 My SiS6326 AGP was a problem because X was black and only the icons
was visible
 Try to find newbie-digest the 3-4 old number to view all discussions.
 The solution at my home was:

  add the lines at /etc/X11/XF86Config in section device:

  Options "nolinear" or "no_linear" I don't remember
  Options "sw_cursor"

  This implies that you can use only 8 bpp colors
  Somebody resolve the problems using 24 bpp and low dot clocks
  Other resolve adding "no_btlbit" e "no_btlimage" with all colors you
want
  Probably you have to try "noaccel" too.

  Use this command 'find / -iname readme.sis' and read the file
istructions
  Probably you need 'man XF86Config' too.

  Good work and feedback as if you found a solution.

  I've a Yamaha CDRW 1644E, EIDE/ATAPI and I' would use cdrecord but 
  I don't know how to se ide-scsi emulation.

  I've patitionig a friend's hard-disk in two using FIPS. Naturally to
 not loss windoze I put linux in the second. The HD's map is FAT32,
 SWAP, EXT2.
  I install linux and all was ok untill I tried to start: it was halt
 the system.
  I supposed that is because of 1024 boot limits. (?)
  This HD is a Samsung 3,2G with 824 LBA cyls.
  
  Please someone can tell me if exist a way to install correctly Linux
 without loss windoze (for many my friend's that is very important).
  
 --- mount ---

 but  I cannot mount it.
  If I mount this CD I see only a ISO9660 partition that contains a

 system.
  If OSTA UDF file system is supported by linux how I can get this

No, for example PS/2 mouse don't use a com but often COM1 & COM2 was
used and installed directly by BIOS so there aren't disponible to
accept a modem. So a modem appear or in COM3 or in COM4 (internal
only, ext will be connect to a installed COM as 1 or 2)

Re: [newbie] SiS Driver

1999-05-05 Thread Roberto Angelo


 My SiS6326 AGP was a problem because X was black and only the icons
was visible
 Try to find newbie-digest the 3-4 old number to view all discussions.
 The solution at my home was:

  add the lines at /etc/X11/XF86Config in section device:

  Options "nolinear" or "no_linear" I don't remember
  Options "sw_cursor"

  This implies that you can use only 8 bpp colors
  Somebody resolve the problems using 24 bpp and low dot clocks
  Other resolve adding "no_btlbit" e "no_btlimage" with all colors you
want
  Probably you have to try "noaccel" too.

  Use this command 'find / -iname readme.sis' and read the file
istructions
  Probably you need 'man XF86Config' too.

 Good work and feedback as if you found a solution.

 If you use Kppp in the modem commands you find about sound level the
AT command L1M4. My modem, for example, support only L1Mx where x stay
in {0..3}, so try to change 4->3 and L0M0 in L1M0.

  Two thing that I hope will be usefull:

 1) In my SiS 6236 card config file (/etc/X11/XF86Config) I have added
the line

 Option "no_linear" 
 Option "sw_cursor"

as you can found in the README.SIS (find / -iname readme.sis)
First of this my X windows was black black and only icos was
visible.
Attention because only 8 bpp colors depth are allow with "no_linear"
and gimps don't works 

 2) hotmail is Micro$oft, please try eudoramail or yahoo too

[expert] Some problems

1999-04-11 Thread Roberto Angelo

Hi,

I've some problems and in order of importance I expose you, if there is somewhere, 
someone that can help my in something. :-))
I've Mandrake 5.3 with 2.2.3a4-4 kernel upgraded.
Please answer to [EMAIL PROTECTED] too because I'm subscribed only at newbie 
digest and not at newbie.

 To gently Jeanette Russo: thank for your helps and ;-) have you Italian origin too (I 
supposed by your family name) ? 

--- Linux CD ---

 I tried to make a linux Mandrake CD, taking some data from one CD and other progs 
from another CD.
 My problem is that when I try to install Mandrake it reply that there no Mandrake 
CDROM inside the driver.
 I hope that copy cd one-to-one not is the only solution possible because the CD that 
contains my mandrake contains about 300Mb of WIN-PC shareware progs too.

--- mount ---

I've write a CD-ROM in file system OSTA UDF known as "packet writing" but I'cannot 
mount it.
If I mount this CD I see only a ISO9660 partition that contains a message about OSTA 
UDF file system ad a win95 driver for this file system.
If OSTA UDF file system is supported by linux how I can get this features ?

--- man command ---

[root@localhost /root]# man -c ls
Formatting page, please wait...
:34: warning: can't find character with input code 232
:51: warning: can't find character with input code 233
:52: warning: can't find character with input code 224
:90: warning: can't find character with input code 249
:245: warning: can't find character with input code 200
:297: warning: can't find character with input code 242  

and I can't see accented characters.

--- core ---

What's is the 'core' file that frequently I found in my /root directory (and 
frequently I remove) ? 

--- daemons ---

Are really useful this daemons for a single machine (no net), with only Internet 
connection but no e-mail or news utilities active ?

  224  ?  S0:00 klogd
  266  ?  S0:00 inetd
  280  ?  S0:00 named
  318  ?  S0:00 sendmail: accepting connections on port 25  

May I kill anyone ? And uninstall ?

Thank to all that will help me to free me by Windows slavish :-<
