[newbie] deleted partition HELP!
Sorry for the outside writing, I need to restore my partition table, as it has been erased accidentally. I have important data on the /home partition that I cannot lose. Would anyone know of a good restoring app that is not too hard for me to use? I need something fairly easy, or at least have someone help me, step-by-steply if its too hard and all there is. Thanks to all who help. __ Do You Yahoo!? Send your FREE holiday greetings online! http://greetings.yahoo.com Want to buy your Pack or Services from MandrakeSoft? Go to http://www.mandrakestore.com
[newbie] device /usr busy? SAY WHAT?
Hey group I just got some weird errors when I went to either shut down or reboot the server. It said something like /usr was busy and it retried to umount again approx 3 or 4 times, has anyone else had this error and know how to correct it so on bootup it does not have to do a fsck of the usr ? Thanks
Re: [newbie] device /usr busy? SAY WHAT?
No Ijust have regular Mandrake 8.0 with nothing but ext2 all round. On Tuesday 12 June 2001 08:05 am, so spoke Michael Leone: I saw this, when loading VMWware in kernel 2.2.18 (it used one of it's SUSE pre-compiled kernels - i.e., NOT a Mandrake kernel). So, since I have multiple kernels to boot to, I use VMWare in kernel 2.4.5. This made it compile it's own kernel modules, and I haven't seen that problem since. Are you running VMWare? And on a ResierFS partition, as I am? - Original Message - From: Chubby Vic [EMAIL PROTECTED] To: [EMAIL PROTECTED] Sent: Tuesday, June 12, 2001 5:14 AM Subject: [newbie] device /usr busy? SAY WHAT?

On Sunday 20 May 2001 02:06 pm, so spoke Franki: I don't think the PC100 or PC133 thing is the issue,,, Unless your CPU needs PC133 (ie it has a 133 or 266 FSB or front side bus), it will only use 100 anyway, so it doesn't matter what you set it as... One thing to try, is upgrading your bios to the latest version,, Some motherboards don't know what to do with a 256mb dimm, or they do it wrong,, so upgrading your bios is the way to fix it.. Its not that hard to do either... find out your motherboards brand, model, and revision (if applic) then go to their web site, and download the new bios for your board... Make a dos bootable floppy, (with nothing else on it.) then unzip the file you got from the manufacturer, and copy the files to the floppy.. usually the files will be awdflash.exe and a file with the extension .bin the bin file is the actual bios file... boot from the floppy, and when you get to a dos prompt, type: awdflash Then just answer the questions,, it will ask if you want to back up the old one,, and then it will ask for the filename of the new one, enter that, (and the extension .bin) and continue,, and it will write the new bios,, (do not reset the computer or cause a powerdown until it tells you its ok to you can waste your mainboard if you stop it in the middle of writing) If you did that, you will have a new bios (see the new date on the start screen), so then go back into your bios, (hit delete on boot and you will get it.) and set the defaults again,, then change whatever is necessary for your setup, then save and exit,, and you'll be off and running. It may fix your issues... and it can't hurt anyway,, I do it all the time with all my systems. The instructions above are for Award bios's (if you want to know what type you have, cold restart you PC and read the start screens.) AMI and the others are very similiar for updating the bios, and it can often fix alot of issues that you normally wouldn't have attributed to a bios problem. one last thing you can try... is slowing down your memory to see if it helps,,, go into bios as described above, and I think its chipset settings that you want, in there, set you memory for lower performance, (higher numbers generally mean lower performance.) if that makes no difference, all you need to do is select setup defaults to change things back again. hope this helps regards Frank -Original Message- From: [EMAIL PROTECTED] [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED]]On Behalf Of Irv Sent: Monday, 21 May 2001 2:33 AM To: newbie Subject: Re: [newbie] Computer Freezes under Linux 7.2 WindowsME - Original Message - From: PENA FAMILY [EMAIL PROTECTED] To: newbie [EMAIL PROTECTED] Sent: Sunday, May 20, 2001 3:41 AM Subject: [newbie] Computer Freezes under Linux 7.2 WindowsME I just recently added an additional 512MB (2x256MB DIMM PC133) for my video editing needs.

On Sunday 15 April 2001 09:12 am, so spoke mike hodder: On my zip drive there's a small, translucent plastic button. When the drive is accessed the button glows green. I've watched that button glow for a year. I used windoze and always ejected the cartridge via a software command. I never thought to press it until I read your suggestion. So, I give it a try, just to see what happens, and low and behold, the drive ejects the cartridge whether I umount it first, or not. I knew as soon as I sent my request for help that it sounded pretty lame. I knew I'd get some reply about pressing the eject button, something I knew I didn't have one of. Well... Thanks very much from a newly commissioned officer of the brain dead newbie division. I assume I need to umount /mnt/zip before I eject the cartridge?

Um... press the eject button? ;-) Seriously, though, if the eject button isn't working, then probably you need to unmount it first. I know my cdrom works that way. I insert a cd, then mount the drive. Once I am done with it, I need to unmount the drive before I can eject the cd. Dave

Then Rex, I told him what to post and he did not ask anything about "off the record" he just assumed that because I was grumbling about my machine that it was what I wanted posted and took it as dictation, so I kicked him. Now Griffin goes and does the same thing even *after* I specifically asked him to not print what I say until I say the words "on record" and then after I say "off record" he is not to take anything I say as dictation until I say "on record" again, plus he spammed a few people using my computer. -long sigh--- I can't seem to find anyone I can trust to do my e mails while I'm away. While they will pile up, I can do them all myself, but I will almost never seem to get back to anyone or get anything done on here. So thats about once this year and twice last year. Those who have been quoted as saying "good help is hard to find" were not kidding.

No Griffin can't be more vague, because he is FIRED, hear that Griff? Get your stuff and get out of my office. Scuse this, Griff is aparently a bunk secretary, so he is out of here. My point that Griff so miserably failed to make was that when one tries to log in to the ftp server here, is all one gets is the error message: Connected to kittypuss.org. 500 kittypuss.org FTP server shut down -- please try again later. ftp Re-installing produces same result. running inetd and in.ftpd produces same result, restarting all network functions produces same result.

Maybe I'm getting old (though I've always been a bit misanthropic;-), but when it comes to communication, I prefer a text-based deal. I don't chat much, but I've tried some of the gui apps, some of the avatar systems on the Web. All in all, I prefer ytalk. But I've not taken the time to figure out why talk isn't cooperative either in lm7.2 or in RH 6.0. It wouldn't be so bad if talk actually worked -- primitive as it is -- but I, for one, haven't figured out why it just sits times out even when set up on the boxes where the people are. Meph

[newbie] My evaluation of New Traktopel Beta Mandrake 8
Hello list. Upon installing the new Beta Mandrake Traktopel 8 release on a system using an AMD K6-400 cpu, 192Mb system ram, S3 Virge video card, 10Gb Quantum harddrive UDMA 33, with VIA chipset, AWE64 Soundblaster ISA card, a zip250 using the zip zoom card (aic7xxx), an old unix BTC cdrom, and lastly a Plextor 8/4/32A Cd recorder. I found the installation went ok in expert mode, one little hang up on setting up networking, it would not let you click on yes or no, BUT, you could bypass this by going on to the next step, then when it cama back, you could just click on uhh, skip or something like that, and do it later after installation finished. I really liked the option when you booted into expert mode, it would let you select another cdrom device to go to, which I did, my faster Plextor drive, altho I had to boot with the slower drive, but I could just switch drives when it asked me that. I had to downgrade sendmail, and tweak apache, and kde2's user agent with Konqueror's user agent is still broken broken broken busted broken busted busted broken...BUT other than that, it still was a *very* useable system and I think I might keep it for awhile until the stable release comes up. Good job Mandrake. Pretty dang good for a beta, if the beta was that decent, the stable release ought to kick butt.

Re: [newbie] commands
Oh gee THAT was HELPFUL -- NOTTT!!! How about giving the guy some USEFUL info Such as--- To change directories, type cd /bin and that will place you in the directory /bin one down from root level. To go to the directory /usr type cd /usr and you will be in it. Then if you want to be in /usr/local you can do it two ways: type cd local or type cd /usr/local Note that the first one is assuming you are already inside the /usr directory. And from anyplace on the filesystem to simply go back home, type cd and whatever user you are logged in as, you will go to that home directory such as /home/user1 (assuming it is a valid directory and user on the system) On Tuesday 13 February 2001 08:35 pm, Eugene C.

[newbie] My review of KDE2.1 beta 2
Hello from the States. I would like to offer my review for kde2.1beta 2 I for the most part liked all the new features, altho some of them were broken, such as the blank kcontrol thing, rendering it useless in root account. I also liked the new config menu for Konqueror but the user agent editor was broken would not save the settings that you put in. I lost the theme from Kde2 where the close X box was on the left, where I wanted it, and in the beta2 I could not find this theme anymore all the themes were with the close box on the right which I did not want, just preference, not crippling by any means, but a strong preference. The theme manager altho functional, was slightly impaired due to the fact that you cannot add any themes to it, nor find the original theme that kde2 had by default. It did sort of fix the Konq crashing, but the knotifeir was broken, kept crashing causing the crash notifiyer to keep coming up and be irritating. Over all kde2.1beta2 was a nice update of features, but at this time I do not feel it is for me to stick with this and I went back to kde2 original. I look forward to other's reviews of this beta and to hear from them about the next review, I might hold off on updating to any betas until I hear from other people first, as I should not have messed with my main machine, but I still thank Chris for making them into rpm form and I thank KDE for trying. Thanks Vic
Re: [newbie] AWE 64 ISA PNP
My most sincere congrats in getting sound to work in suse! I have never been able to do it, I thought there was no sound in that dist. My hat is off to you. In Mandrake, one must run an app called sndconfig if you cannot find it on your system, go to http://rpmfind.net and type sndconfig into the blank search space and press your Enter key or Return key or click on Search button on that web page and it should come up with some rpm files to sndconfig. Then rpm -ivh sndconfig.rpm (that file may have a longer name) and it should install, then switch your machine into runlever 3 by either clicking shutdown console mode or from a virtual terminal or xterm or konsole type telinit 3 and it should go into text only mode, then log in as the root user and type sndconfig and it should begin setting up your card, just follow its lead. Hope this helps. Vic On Sunday 11 February 2001 03:37 pm, Lucio Costa wrote: Hi, I`m a beginner in Linux world.

Re: [newbie] mount point
Hi To create a mount point all one must do is create a directory that they wish to mount the device onto such as: cd /mnt mkdir cdrom Then they can do a mount -t iso9660 /dev/hdb /mnt/cdrom assuming that your CD rom is on device hdb.

On Sunday 04 February 2001 11:35 am, so spoke nlilly: In order to use a cdrom burner you have to use scsi emulation for that device. Here's how to do it: Determine what device your burner actually is. listing the /dev directory should tell you. I have two drives with my burner as the second drive... lrwxrwxrwx1 root root3 Jan 7 08:30 /dev/cdrom - hdc lrwxrwxrwx1 root root3 Jan 7 08:30 /dev/cdrom2 - hdd ...//... brw---1 nlilly cdrom 22, 0 Sep 27 06:31 /dev/hdc brw---1 nlilly cdrom 22, 64 Sep 27 06:31 /dev/hdd 1. Enter into your lilo.conf at the end of the vmlinuz entry append="hdd=ide-scsi" 2. Reboot. 3. After rebooting, issue the following command as root. modprobe ide-scsi The entry in lilo preps the system to look for your burner and treat it as a scsi device. The second installs the emulation module into the kernel. This will also report the identity of the ide drive as it progresses. From this point on the burner will be linked to /dev/scd0 as opposed to hdd and your fstab will look something akin to the following:[ nlilly@a13c058 nlilly]$ less /etc/fstab /dev/hda1 / ext2 defaults 1 1 none /dev/pts devpts mode=0620 0 0 /dev/hda7 /home ext2 defaults 1 2 /dev/cdrom /mnt/cdrom iso9660 user,exec,dev,suid,rw,fs=iso9660 0 0 /dev/scd0 /mnt/cdrom2 iso9660 user,exec,dev,suid,rw,fs=iso9660 0 0 /mnt/floppy /mnt/floppy supermount user,exec,dev,suid,rw,fs=vfat 0 0 none /proc proc defaults 0 0 /dev/hda6 /usr ext2 defaults 1 2 /dev/hda5 swap swap defaults 0 0 From this point on the available burning utilities (X-cdroast, e-roaster, cdrecord, etc.) Will see the drive and be able to use it.

Re: [newbie] Cameras was: More problems as if
Yeah no kidding. And winprinters are rotten to the core and all through to the other side, I wish they did not exist, along with wimpblowdumbs (winmodems). I hope that Canon is not planning to make any winprinters if they have not already, and I agree with your statement on Canon, they should have stuck with making cameras, my dad has a great Canon AE1 camera and the photos it can take blew me away, well that was back in the 70's-80's but still sure is a nice camera. I am considering getting a digital camera, would you or anyone on this list know of where I can go snoop to find a list of linux supported digital cameras?

Re: [newbie] Mandrake 7.2 crashes
I am not sure but I *think* it has to do with the chipset on the SOYO SY-5EH5 motherboard, I have heard that those sony motherboards are weird, so it might be that something in the chipset is not allowing Linux to grab onto the hardware, I guess like the other guy said you could test out the thing running in runlevel 3 uhh, I can't remember what he said for grub but in lilo boot type linux 3 and it should get you into runlevel 3 which is text only. I hope this has helped some.

Duh on me---Re: [newbie] Is it so much to ask---
Ok now I get it. I guess I was thinking of the www.linuxprinting.org too-hard method, so you mean the linuxconf built-in method (Big DUH on me!) Dang, those canons must be weird, I never have bought one, but many thanks for the warning, I do not now intend to get a canon printer, I am glad I stuck with HP. Thanks again for the info! :) On Tuesday 30 January 2001 07:09 pm, so spoke Mark Weaver: If you're talking about using Lpr it will indeed. At this point in Cups' developement, as far as Canons are concerned at least, Lpr is still the method of choice. At least for those who wish to retain more then 70% of the sanity they were born with while they're still under the age of 80! Please don't get me wrong. I think Cups is a good thing...as long as you're not using, or trying to use a Canon printer. Where HP is concerned you can't beat Cups with a stick. Not even a pair of sticks. Drum sticks that is...and you know who you are! Anyway, I firgure it this way. Those of us that are hell bent on sticking with our Canon printers are just going to have to stick with using Lpr until Mandrake version 8.1 is in full release. That would be at least by Summer 2002 easy. By then Cups should be a killer printer support platform. ACtually I think Canon should have stuck with making Cameras and never gotten into the printer market. And I should have my head examinded for friggin buying one. After this it will be HP for me...or an Epson. Now THOSE are printers. O, and by the way. You can very easily and quickly install a printer using Linuxconf to print with Lpr. Only thing is you have to make sure that Cups, Qtcups, Kups and anything else C,K-ups in it is totally uninstalled from the system before you will be able to install and use a printer with LPR. That just da way it is. rpm -qa | grep cups Issue the above command in a terminal to see if you have Cups of any kind installed on the system. This will catch qtcups as well. then issue this command to uninstall those packages from the system. rpm -e -force package-name *use the -force argument only if necessary *where package-name is place the name of the package listed from the rpm query. *package name MUST entered exactly as it appears in the output rpm -qa |grep Kups Do everything for Kups packages that you did for Cups packages. The procedure is the same. Then Open Linuxconf-Miscellaneous services-Printer-Add/Edit printers-Add. You will be prompted to create a printer when you do you will then define that printers properties. When you click on that printers name in the little box you can further define that printer. There is a panel with 3 tabs across the top. On the first tab you define the max file size. On the second tab you choose the device: /dev/lp0 /dev/lp1 /dev/lp2 custom Lp0 is the typical and default choice. 3 and last tab is where you choose the printers filters, resolution, paper size, and quality. The most important of these though is the filter. Choose the wrong filter and you won't see your printer printing...anything! That's really all there is to setting up print services using Lpr and Linuxconf. Quick...cool...and clean! And the friggin thing works with my Canon!!!

Re: [newbie] OT Travelling -- was drakxtools
I think that would be a really neat program, that is, if our messed up us government would go for it, I would choose to visit Africa (If I could stand the heat, but from the pictures I have seen from my uncle and aunt, it was such beautiful countryside) and my heritage country (Britain) and Italy (My mom went to Italy and she loved it, I wish I could have gone, some tomatoes she brought back and they were the best dang tomatoes I have ever tasted that is for sure) and Japan and Asia (China). I wish I could learn more languages, all I can speak other than English is a little Japanese, a few Chinese words, and some Arabic words--enough to ask where one can find lodging, food and the loo. That would be my travel wishes. On Sunday 21 January 2001 03:10 am, Chris Drury wrote: Amen brother!

[newbie] Where O where did Soundstudio go???
Hello list. Would anyone know what happened to 'SoundStudio' ? I think the leeds.co.uk web page that housed it has disappeared, or at least I cannot seem to find it. I am looking for a good sound editor, and sox is good, but sometimes I am not in the mood for commandline, and need some GUI visuals. thanks Vic
Re: [newbie] What's your favorite Plextor burner?
I like the Plextor PX-W8432T lower price than the higher speed one and I don't really care to burn at high speeds than 2 or 4 anyway, slower burn, better copy. Just my 2 cents On Saturday 20 January 2001 06:50 am, you wrote: Hi everybody, As I am on my way to the store this weekend, I thought I'd poll people using Plextor.

[newbie] Can't print
My printer does not print. I can't make cups go linuxprinting.org is too hard can't do it. Please give step by step instructions. I have black and white HP Deskjet, thats all, no numbers. Please help, I am without a printer if I can't make it go.
[newbie] Won't install, and I do have the glibc rpm in
Why won't SoundStudio install when I already installed the stupid glibc 2 that it asked for? [root@kittypuss Downloads]# rpm -ivh SoundStudio-1.0.5-1mdk.i586.rpm error: failed dependencies: libc.so.6(GLIBC_2.2) is needed by SoundStudio-1.0.5-1mdk [root@kittypuss Downloads]# I do not comprehend It is lying, I have it installed Is it broken?
[newbie] Feature suggestion
Hello I think it would be nice to have a feature put into a future mandrake version, capable of being disabled of course, that would, when rpm or an app cood not find a library, it would do a search the entire filesystem until it found one that would make the app work, or if it were not on the system it would then access the net and search for it automatically, asking the user if when it found it, if it was the right one, if the user did not know it would then try downloading and installing several different oens until it worked, and if desired, a go-along-with me type tutorial could also be ran at the time to teach newer users about the internal processes of a linux system, this feature and its subfeatures could all be disabled at the user's request if they already knew what they were doing in the case that it would be useless to them. What about that?
[newbie] Uh oh bad rpm
Attention list, do not install SoundStudio-1.0.5-1mdk.i586.rpm it is a bad rpm. [root@kittypuss Downloads]# studio Error in startup script: couldn't read file "/home/lenny/rpm/BUILD/SoundStudio/init.tk": no such file or directory while executing "source $MYFILES/init.tk " (file "/usr/bin/studio" line 33) [root@kittypuss Downloads] It was built wrong, the make forgot to exclude thier home directory from when they were making it.
[newbie] Stumped
Well, I guess I will have to stick with the old version the current version of SoundStudio only seems to want to give me alot of %$# If someone could explain this, I would be very grateful, because I sure as heck can't. This is beyond my comprehension at the moment. Thanks in advance. Oh and thanks to Keith for at least getting me started in solving this mystery. I will keep picking away at it here for a few hours today.

Re: [newbie] Re: GNOME or KDE
I can't decide, I like both KDE and GNOME, I use them interchangeably, so if I had to choose between them I would be stuck there like a runaway if else loop. On Saturday 20 January 2001 01:14 pm, Jesse C. Chang wrote: Thio Yu Jin wrote: Why is Enlightenment so much better than KDE or Gnome? It's not better, just different. But here are some reasons why I prefer using it when I'm not root: 1) It is one of, if not the most configurable window managers around. 2) E has some great features, like the pager, desktop dragging, etc. 3) KDE and Gnome are more "standard" in their approaches (being more like Win/Mac OS); if I wanted that, I'd have gotten a Mac (actually, I still want one for doing professional music stuff...). 4) Eye candy, eye candy, eye candy. I still use KDE as root, however, when total accessibility and ease of accessibility are all I care about. Jesse

What I don't get is why there are even "classes", unless you are in school. I went to computer school, so I guess we were 'classified' hehe.
