Re: [newbie] Can't boot on iMac CDRW
I have installed Mandrake Linux 8.0 on my imac and I can't get in the boot menu. I have Boot rom version $0004.17f4 and rom revision $77D.45F6. I have three hfs+ partitions (number 9,10,11), an apple bootstrap partiton (number 12) and linux root on partition no. 13. If I type this in the open firmware setenv boot-device hd:12,\\:tbxi return shut-downreturn and restart the computer, a folder with a question mark appears on the screen, then the question mark changes into a mac os icon, happy mac appears and mac os starts loading. I also tried this (I don't know anything about the open firmware, so I just tried typing combinations of commands that I a saw in the installation tutorial): boot hd:12,\\:tbxi return boot and something like this flashed on the screen: loading elf finished and then the mac os started anyway:(. I have done the exact same thing and had the same thing happening to me. No commands at Open Firmware seemed to help:-( And noone on this list could help :-(( when I asked. So I dont have any solution for you. Gunner Carstens Want to buy your Pack or Services from MandrakeSoft? Go to http://www.mandrakestore.com

My smtp server requires password authentication, and I can't seem to figure out how to get kmail to send the authentication. Due to filters used by my ISP i'm now using postfix to send mail to the internet... try it!! ;) Also, because of a recent change in isp's, the smtp server is with a different company, and a different user name than the pop server. I'm able to get netscapes mail client configured for it, but I'd really like to go back to kmail. any ideas? You start Kmail,choose Settings/configuration,choose network in the left configbar, and the add in the right side of that window, choose POP3 and then I get a window where I can type in name login password host ... You can choose if you want the password to be remembered ... Then choose OK, Apply, and OK, and you should be all set .? /gunner Want to buy your Pack or Services from MandrakeSoft?

[newbie] KMail
I have used KMail with no problems for some months now. Suddenly it makes this problem: Sending failed: RCPT a SMTP error occured. Response: 553, sorry, that domain isn't in my list of allowed rcpthosts (#5.7.1) Return code: 553. The following transport protocol was used smtp://mail1.stofanet.dk25 As far as I know, I have made no changes to the configuration. Can anyone help with this, so I again can send mail in KMail? /gunner Want to buy your Pack or Services from MandrakeSoft? Go to http://.mandrakestore.com

[newbie] Sound suddenly not working
My sound was functioning ok when it for one user using enlightenment dissappeared. Now it also dissappeared for another user.As root I have installed gnapster and gotten it to function, playing an mp3 file. But now it will not play that either. xmms says: make sure another pgm is not using the soundcard,make sure that your soundcard is configured correctly, make sure you have used the correct output. For root in KDE sound is working. But not for one user using Enlightenment and another user using Gnome. Where can I start to look for possible answers? thanks /gunner
[newbie] mandrake-update service
I have tried to do some mandrake update for the first time and have experienced this (upgrading MR7.2): 1)getting ftp servers goes fine 2)getting list of updates goes fine 3) downloading files goes fine 3) preparing for install goes vvery slow 4) installing freeses everything, takes very long time (6 hrs for 10 update items - 15 MB of downloaddata) monitor goes completely black, at the end. 5) After reboot everything seems fine and (pehaps) I have been successfully updated !? I would just ask if this is normal procedure for mandrake update service to go like this, or I have to do it otherwise (I do it like the tutorial on the mandrake.com site. thanks gunner
Re: [newbie] mandrake-update service
If everything appears fine afterwards, then you should have nothing to worry about. If you go to a console screen (press ctrl+alt+F1), you should see the version number of your Mandrake displayed on the screen. I did not make myself clear. Whar I wanted to say was that I did security upDATE, not an upgrade to MR 8.0. When I try to update my system from the Software Update in DrakConf This is what happens: 1)getting ftp servers goes fine 2)getting list of updates goes fine 3) downloading files goes fine 3) preparing for install goes vvery slow 4) installing freeses everything, takes very long time (6 hrs for 10 update items - 15 MB of downloaddata) monitor goes completely black, at the end. 5) After reboot everything seems fine and (pehaps) I have been successfully updated !?

[newbie] Intel Pro 100 Netcard half duplex
Title: Intel Pro 100 Netcard half duplex I have had many problems connecting my LM7.2 to cablemodem. Part of the problem may be caused by the speed on the Intel Pro 100 Netcard. Someone told me that it could be good to force the netcard to run 10mbit half duplex. Can anyone tell me how I do that? Thanks /gunner
[newbie] RAM full
I'm using a Mandrake 7.2 on a Pentium 3 with 128MB RAM, on a newly installed system. I found it a bit slow and quite a bit of the programs - like KDE mediaplayer - won´t start up. I found out that with NO programs started from the desktop by me, the RAM is nearly full! I can see, that I'm running Apache, postgreQql and mySql . My question is, where do I turn these off from the startup procedure, so I have more RAM to use as user? I have installed the developer install, as I want to learn to program and use XEmacs. Thanks, Gunner
