Re: [newbie] nVidia drivers (again) NEED HELP FROM KERNEL GURU!
Hmm glx is installed fine i guess. The kernel wont install thats weird i never seen that one before ... did you do any changes to it? Do you use a custom kernel or is it the default ? What kernel version is it? The default mandrake8 kernel should work fine. Thing is i dont know allmost anything about kernel configs i think we need to consult a specialist here Did you hear that civileme? we need your help =) On Tuesday 24 July 2001 07:06, Curtis Matthiesen wrote: Hi there, Here is a quote from a previous message I sent, which I didn't get responses on, regarding not having the Nvidia drivers installed according to the sh file that checks etc., here is what I said: Hi there everyone, I just installed the RPM's for my Nvidia card and then I modified my XFree file, and then I ran the nv_check.sh, and this is what my results show, I understand everything except the last portion: Welcome to the NVidia Driver Installation Checker. This shell script is meant to help you debug your installation of the beta NVidia Linux drivers. It is not 100% foolproof. In particular, you will definitely want to make sure you have the correct options in your XF86Config to make X work properly. This script cannot debug your X setup. That being said, it should prove useful if are having problems with the drivers and want to check the validity of your driver install. At no time will this script EVER make changes to your system. It is simply a diagnostic tool - fixes of any kind will have to come from you. Press enter to continue... OK, the first thing we need to do is make sure your XF86Config file is set up correctly. In order to do this, I'm first going to try and find where this file might be... checking /usr/X11R6/lib/X11/XF86Config... not found checking /usr/X11R6/etc/X11/XF86Config... not found checking /etc/XF86Config... not found checking /etc/X11/XF86Config... found checking /etc/X11/XF86Config-4... found I'm going to be doing my checking using /etc/X11/XF86Config-4. If this is not actually your X config, then quit this script with Ctrl-C, remove or rename the file, then run this script again. Press enter to continue I'm going to check your XF86Config file for the following things: 1) Loading the GLcore and glx modules 2) Specifying the nvidia driver instead of nv Checking for the Load glx statement... Loadglx It seems to be intact. Now lets see if you're loading the correct video driver... Driver nvidia Everything seems fine in your X config file. This is not 100% guaranteed to be accurate, but lets continue anyway (press enter)... The next step involves making sure you have the proper files in the right places, and that the kernel module loaded correctly. Press enter to begin the test. First lets make sure you don't have the old modules still present by mistake... Checking /usr/X11R6/lib/modules/extensions/libglx.a... Checking /usr/X11R6/lib/modules/extensions/libGLcore.a... You don't appear to have any conflicting older drivers. Now lets check if the new driver files are in place... Checking /usr/X11R6/lib/modules/drivers/nvidia_drv.o... Checking /usr/X11R6/lib/modules/extensions/libglx.so... Checking /usr/lib/libGL.so... libGLcore.so.1 = /usr/lib/libGLcore.so.1 (0x4003e000) Checking /usr/lib/libGLcore.so.1... All the files seem to exist. Now I'm going to see if your kernel module is loaded correctly... Here is what I don't understand: the NVdriver kernel module does not seem to be loaded. The 3D drivers will not work without it...please compile it for your kernel, set it up to insert the module on boot, then run this script again. Remember if you are having trouble compiling the module, try adding -D_LOOSE_KERNEL_NAMES to the Makefile. Now, I read your message and I removed the RPMS and then proceeded to do what you suggested regarding the TAR's, and this is what happened when I did the make installs: This is what happened when I did the command in the NVIDIA_kernel folder: [root@cs821261-a NVIDIA_kernel-1.0-1251]# make install rm -f nv.o os-interface.o os-registry.o Module-linux NVdriver cc -c -Wall -Wno-unknown-pragmas -Wno-multichar -O -D__KERNEL__ -DMODULE -D_LOOSE_KERNEL_NAMES -D_X86_=1 -Di386=1 -DUNIX -DLINUX -DNV4_HW -DNTRM -DRM20 -D_GNU_SOURCE -DRM_HEAPMGR -D_LOOSE_KERNEL_NAMES -DNV_MAJOR_VERSION=1 -DNV_MINOR_VERSION=0 -DNV_PATCHLEVEL=1251 -I. -I/usr/src/linux/include nv.c In file included from nv.c:50: /usr/include/linux/modversions.h:1:2: #error Modules should never use kernel-headers system headers, /usr/include/linux/modversions.h:2:2: #error but headers from an appropriate kernel-source make: *** [nv.o] Error 1 [root@cs821261-a NVIDIA_kernel-1.0-1251]# rpm -e NVIDIA_kernel error: removing these packages would break dependencies: NVIDIA_kernel is needed by NVIDIA_GLX-1.0-1251 [root@cs821261-a NVIDIA_kernel-1.0-1251]# rpm -e NVIDIA_GLX
Re: [newbie] nVidia drivers (again)
Here is a snip of the nvidias own readme that you find from the same section of nvidias homepage there where you can download the tars. This snip concerns the tar install prozess . I repeat: Use the tars not the rpms and follow the instructions from THIS readme DONT use the instructions that you find inside the tars!!! They are wrong. snip Installing/Upgrading by Tar file Instructions for the Impatient: $ tar xvzf NVIDIA_kernel.tar.gz $ tar xvzf NVIDIA_GLX.tar.gz $ cd NVIDIA_kernel $ make install $ cd ../NVIDIA_GLX $ make install Instructions: To install from tar file, unpack each file: $ tar xzf NVIDIA_kernel.tar.gz $ tar xzf NVIDIA_GLX.tar.gz cd into the NVIDIA_kernel directory. Type 'make install'. This will compile the kernel interface to the NVdriver, link the NVdriver, copy the NVdriver into place, and attempt to insert the NVdriver into the running kernel: $ cd NVIDIA_kernel $ make install Next, move into the NVIDIA_GLX directory. Type 'make install' -- this will copy the files into place: $ cd ../NVIDIA_GLX $ make install Note that the make install for each package will remove any previously installed NVIDIA drivers. - (sec-03) EDITING YOUR XF86CONFIG FILE = When XFree86 4.0 was released, it used a slightly different XF86Config file syntax than the 3.x series did, and so to allow both 3.x and 4.x versions of XFree86 to co-exist on the same system, it was decided that XFree86 4.x was to use the configuration file /etc/X11/XF86Config-4 if it existed, and only if that file did not exist would the file /etc/X11/XF86Config be used (actually, that is an over-simplification of the search criteria; please see the XF86Config manpage for a complete description of the search path). Please make sure you know what configuration file XFree86 is using. If you are in doubt, look for a line beginning with (==) Using config file: in the your XFree86 log file (/var/log/XFree86.0.log). This README will use XF68Config to refer to your configuration file, whatever it is named. If you do not have a working XF86Config file, there are several ways to start: there is a sample config file that comes with XFree86, and there is a sample config file included with the NVIDIA_GLX package (it gets installed in the /usr/share/doc tree). You could also use a program like 'xf86config'; some distributions provide their own tool for generating an XF86Config file. For more on XF86Config file syntax, please refer to the manpage. If you already have an XF86Config file working with a different driver (such as the 'nv' driver), then all you need to do is find the relevant Device section and replace the line: Driver nv with Driver nvidia In the Module section, make sure you have: Load glx You should also remove the following lines: Load dri Load GLcore if they exist. There are also numerous options that can be added to the XF86Config file to fine-tune the NVIDIA XFree86 driver. Please see Appendix D for a complete list of these options. Once you have configured your XF86Config file, you are ready to restart X and begin using the accelerated OpenGL libraries. After you restart X, you should be able to run any OpenGL application and it will automatically use the new NVIDIA libraries.

Re: [newbie] Mandrake 8 and digital camera miniDV ?
btw. if you want to download an avistream from your cam use dvgrab its a comandline tool you use it like : dvgrab test.avi and it will save the actual playing stream into the file test.avi nice tool but you dont see whats comming you can only whatch the resulting file with an apropriate movie player. The problem is actually not the support of the dv or firewire hardware (like in windows lol it took me ages to get firewire working with my sonycam under windows win98 doesnt work at all win2k works sluggish with almmost allthetime hardware related crashes etc. finally win98SE worked ) no the problem with linux and firewire is the lack of good capturing and editing software sad to say. But many devellopers work a lot on those pieces of software and we can hope for the near future that good and capable software comes out into public.

Re: [newbie] Nvidia installation FAQ !
Shouldn't it be make install ? That article repeats the README file from the tar and if i remember right that didnt work. Just untar the tars and type make install in both kernel and glx directories. Then add: load glx and replace: nv with nvidia in the /etc/X11/XF86Config-4 file as it says in the article. After that you should not use kdm as loginmanager, use gdm instead or boot into runlevel3 and startx manually. Worked for me tuxracer ut etc. all working fine. On a GeForce2 GTS.

Re: [newbie] Update Programs Via Mandrake Update?
Ok today came the security update for openssl and my mirror has it (i checked) it has the same name as the installed package only a .1 is added at the end of the name mandrake update wont see this it actually appeared in the installed section of mandrakeupdate but if i do a : # rpm -qa | grep openssl openssl-0.9.6-7mdk (MandrakeUpdate shows both as installed) it is NOT installed so i downloaded it manually and did : rpm -Uvh openssl-0.9.6-7.1mdk.i586.rpm and it updated fine . I mentioned this problem before cause i think it is important, cause it renders MandrakeUpdate absolutely useless since it is made for security updates . So we will have to leave MandrakeUpdate to the developers and get back to comandline and kpackage ... sad cause i think MandrakeUpdate is a great idea for a prog. If im missing something here please tell it to me cause i LOVE MandrakeUpdate and i would really like to use it.

Most of the time MandrakeUpdate will work; however, certain programs that handle regular expressions and pattern-matching DON'T work the same when a different locale is in place, thanks to newly-implemented POSIX standards.

Re: [newbie] Enable/Disable Telnet.
In mandrake 7.2 you can (after installing openssl ans openssh packages clients servers etc.) add ssh modules to linuxconf so you can configure it from there too linuxconf control control files and system configure linuxconf modules there you can enable linuxconf to show your ssh setup so you control it from there. ps: i think linuxconf is an underestimated very usefull tool if you need to fastly do things (if you got time you can still inspect your config files manually).

Thanks Well glide2 doesnt work under xfree4.01 instead it uses glide3 DRI and running unrealtournament for example will work only if you install the latest 3dfx drivers but see if you can run tuxracer or quake3 demo if it works you have a funktioning dri . Glide wont work as i said. So glide apps such as UT you will need to tell to use opengl instead. At install UT asks you which driver to use but if you need to change it after install make sure your /ut/sytem/unrealtournament.ini has these settings: [Engine.Engine] GameRenderDevice=SDLGLDrv.SDLGLRenderDevice WindowedRenderDevice=SDLGLDrv.SDLGLRenderDevice RenderDevice=SDLGLDrv.SDLGLRenderDevice but as i sayd UT requires latest 3dfx drivers. i paste now a message from the 3dfx.glide newsgroup that helped me to get ut running it describes a voodoo4 install but itll work for a voodoo 3 you only need the apropriate packages. original message from Bill Teeple: http://linux.3dfx.com/open_source/download/voodoo5_dri.htm I downloaded all the binaries: tdfx_dri-4.0.1-1.i386.rpm tdfx_drm-1.0-3.src.rpm Glide_V5-3.10-2.i386.rpm first I installed the Glide like the directions say too... but I kept getting CONFLICTS WITH EXISTING... blah blah blah - so I did rpm -i Glide_V5*.* --force and it took. Then I installed the tdfx_dri-4.0.1-1.i386.rpm driver but the online instructions say to do a rpm -Uvh (which is an upgrade) but I had none of that - I decided to use the same method as the Glide above (rpm -i tdfx_dri-4*.rpm --force) (again-you will need the FORCE portion because it thinks you already have the correct driver). Now pay close attention to the DRI installation above - You will get at least two errors dealing with /usr/X11R6/lib/libMesaGLU.so.3 and /usr/X11R6/lib/libGLU.so.3 (You should be able to ignore these, but just in case, I believe these are symlinks to libGLU.so.1.2.0 Then you have to rebuild the DRM tdfx driver... so follow the online instructions for this one and when you are finished install the RPM with the -i --force options (pay attention - the default destination after you rebuild on Mandrake is not what 3dfx tells you it is - NOT /usr/src/redhat/RPMS/i386/tdfx_drm-1.0-3.i386.rpm but /usr/src/RPM/RPMS/i686/tdfx_drm-1.0-3.i386.rpm) Last but not least... the instructions on the site tell you to edit the XF86Config file in the /etc/X11 directory... but if everything goes as planned, there is a file there with most of the settings you need -- /etc/X11/XF86Config.dri.ex and you can open this up in a text editor and either copy over the parts that are different from your current XF86Config file, or just overwrite your existing XF86Config file... I overwrote mine... did a CTRL-ALT-BACKSPACE to re-initialize X and up it came (except in 1280x1024 mode - a little too small for my taste). So I re-edited the file and that was that. end of original message After all this i was able to play ut and it works nicely (even rendering in a window!) About other glide aps i dont know but i believe that you can run allmost everything using openGL instead of glide2 try a little and tell me im interested in any news good luck =)
Re: [newbie] Enable/Disable Telnet.
Hi you can enable disable allmost all services in linuxconf also you can tell if the service should start at bootup its easy and usefull linuxconf network severtasks intenet sevices and then linuxconf control controlpanel control service activity telnet is controlled by inetd (7.1) and xinetd (7.2) so you need to have that enabled too good luck btw. ssh is nicer than telnet try it!

I have two computers networked together and can ping both machines and share the Internet. My question now is: How can I access the others machines file using a graphical interface? Is there a way to use Konquer to show my other machine when I open it? In 7.0 I was using the file manager to access the other machine and can't seem to figure out how to do it in 7.2. I'm very new to networking and believe that this may be a very simple problem to remedy. Thanks for taking the time to read the question and offering suggestions. Riker Use samba you need to share your drives with samba you can use linuxconf to set it up and enable it and then you can mount the share with this command: # smbmount machinename\\sharename /dir/where/you/want/to/mount/it -o uid=userwithwhatyouwanttoaccessit for detailed instructions read the smb howto
