[newbie] Squirrelmail and dyndns
Hi all, I have now setup an account at dyndns.org (nifty!) and I can access the main page of my home system by going to http://nwyfre.homelinux.org. That is much more convenient than the cp14---... But still I have a problem getting to and into Squirrelmail. Main page displays fine. The link on the page won't work (changed that hard to http://cp14blahbla). But going to http://nwyfre.homelinux.org/squirrel also complains: the url is again changed to http://nwyfre.merlijn/squirrel/ (the local machine), and the bad gateway message comes up again (code=DNS_HOST_NOT_FOUND). So where am I going wrong? The pc is defined in /etc/hosts as 192.168.0.2 nwyfre.merlijnnwyfre Do I need to change something there, I wonder. It has always been okay like this, but somehow the name translation now seems to go wrong through here. Perhaps I need to remove the nwyfre.merlijn entry? Thanks for all your help and patience.

[newbie] Bad gateway
Hi everyone, I have set up squirrelmail on courier-imap at my home PC (Mandrake 10.0). When I am on the machine things work well, but when I try to load Squirrelmail from another location, I get the famous message: Bad Gateway The following error occurred: [code=DNS_HOST_NOT_FOUND] The host name was not found during the DNS lookup. Contact your system administrator if the problem is not found by retrying the URL. My setup: I connect to the net through a cable-connect. My provider hands out an IP-address through DHCP. The provider authenticates through a code for my PC. When I go to my webserver (http://code) I get the welcome screen I set up. When I try to load Squirrelmail though (http://code/squirrel) the Bad Gateway comes up. This also happens when I try to connect to it directly through the IP address. Interestingly enough: when this problem occurs, the URL changes to the local machine name (nwyfre.merlijn) that I set up at home. And that, indeed, is not in DNS. I have checked the settings of the directories, these should be fine: ls -l /var/www/html total 32 drwxr-xr-x 2 root root 4096 Aug 14 2004 addon-modules drwxr-xr-x 2 root root 4096 Feb 15 17:30 images -rw-r--r-- 1 root root 251 Feb 20 22:23 index.php -rw-r--r-- 1 root root 785 Feb 21 09:01 info.php -rw-r--r-- 1 root root 713 Feb 20 22:23 menu.php drwxr-xr-x 2 root root 4096 Feb 15 17:29 org drwxr-xr-x 16 root root 4096 Jan 22 04:41 squirrel -rw-r--r-- 1 root root5 Feb 16 21:29 standaard.php I suspect there is something in Apache that needs tweaking but I am not too educated with that (yet).

[newbie] C++ question
Hi all,
Perhaps this is not the place to ask, but I am getting nowhere searching
the web.
I am trying to learn C++ programming. At my work (for which I need to
learn this) I am futzing with a program which so far works. The machine I
use runs on Tru64 Unix. When I try to compile the same program at home,
the compiler (I use g++ at home) tells me that all kinds of things are
unknown.
The header-files could be the problem, I suspect, but I don't know where
or what. Part of the programcode I wrote:
#include iostream
#include strstream
#include fstream
#include stdlib.h
// ###
void VoegToe(char* foto, int hoog, int breed, char* bestand)
{
cout Toevoegen... endl;
ofstream fout(bestand, ios::app);
if (!fout)
{
cout Er is iets mis! fout ?? endl;
return;
}
Of course, the code goes on, but the compiler already tells me that cout
and endl are not defined already. Can someone shed some light on this?
Have I forgotten to install some devel-packages (I have looked at this but
could not find anymore to install.) Or do you need more information?
Thanks for help or pointers,
Paul

Re: [newbie] Big prob: partition table mess
What I want to try next is to put the disk-test program on /tmp (if I can write to that, have not tried yet) and see if I can make it run. And then see what comes out of it. I assume it will be working quite a while on a 120Gb disk. I tried testdisk. It tells me everything is fine where fdisk tells me that validating the partition table fails. I then removed the last partition (hda10) and rebooted. Validating with fdisk told me everything is fine. Then I created a new hda10, 100 blocks smaller than the previous one. Reboot. fdisk validate says all is fine. I reboot into MDK 9.1 and the disk read fail-messages start flying all over the place again... I am now quickly running out of options of a less radical incling... Paul Want to buy your Pack or Services from MandrakeSoft?

Re: [newbie] Big prob: partition table mess
Hi Paul, There is a utility called TestDisk that can analyze and repear disk partitions tables: http://www.cgsecurity.org/index.html?testdisk.html Okay, I ran testdisk, and it told me that everything is all fine and wonderful. Only thing it told me was that the MDK rescue CD did not have the regular partition table marker. I then let it write a new MBR and rebooted... to see some DELL utility that allows me to install win- don't mention it. Rebooted with the CD, rewrote LILO and rebooted. And the problem persists... Next thing I will try (but not today) is remove the last partition on the disk and reboot. I'll see what gives then. I'll keep you posted! Paul Want to buy your Pack or Services from MandrakeSoft?

[newbie] Big prob: partition table mess
Hi all, I rebooted the linux box this evening, for the sound had gone. At loading linux, I saw tons of messages ldm_validat_partition_table: disk read failed. After going into rescue with CD 1 (mdk 9.1 here), I could mount all partitions, but validating the partition table with fdisk showed that there were about 200 blocks more allocated than the disk can hold. Anyone have an idea how I can repair this without destroying the entire system? I am at a loss at the moment. And webmail on an old machine is not my preference.

[newbie] Mac - Mandrake at the CLI
Hello All, I need to transfer some files that I downloaded on my Mandrake Box to my Mac. I am running samba on both machines, so they can see each other on the network. The problem I am having is, when I open nautilus on my mandrake box and browse to the share on my mac, the program stalls out. I was wondering if there was a way to transfer files over my local network from one machine to the next using the trusty command line. Thanks, -=Thinker Sure - Assuming OSX since you said samba - use 'scp' Requires you have ssh installed on your Mandrake machine. You'll have to turn it on in the Mac sharing preference pane. Then from the Mandrake box type (all one line) scp [EMAIL PROTECTED]:/Users/mac_user_name/Documents/fileyouwant /home/mandrake_user_name/Desktop adjust the /path/to/file name as required Use scp -r to transfer recursively HTH Brian PS You could try using Konqueror instead of Nautilis.

Re: [newbie] strangness with PPP modem
On Fri, 23 Jan 2004 20:21:24 +1300 John Rye [EMAIL PROTECTED] wrote the words: some snippage... Well, I might dare to say that after changing my /etc/ppp/options file to what you have in yours it seems that I am staying connected a bit longer, but still not for very long. Also increased all the wait times in KPPP. What exactly does this line 'lcp-max-configure 45' do? Can anyone translate? Take look at the pppd daemon manual page (type 'man pppd' in a terminal without the quotes) for the full description. Actually I did read it, I just didn't understand it. =) Cranking the value of ipc-max-configure beyond about 45 is probably a bit pointless - it's there to increase the time available for authentication with your ISP.. Ah, well that is a lot better of an explanation than the man page had. Yea, that isn't going to help me at all. I tried setting it to 145 and it seemed to time out faster. I'm going to try different values see what happens. Also try the google thingy. Ok - looking back I see I mis-read the error message being returned - It's 16 not 19 - this means your own modem is hanging up before the connection is established. As far as I can see there is nothing in the pppd options to control this time, but there is in the kppp setup. Go to kppp - Setup - Device and increase the Modem Timeout value to it's maximum (which I think is 120 seconds), see if that helps any. If that doesn't improve things your next option is to start fiddling with the S-registers of your modem. This is very modem specific and will depend on your particular modem AND whether you have the documentation for it's command set. I don't even know what a S-register is, and I got no documentation for the modem. I emailed the company for a data sheet, but they are ignoring me. I'm afraid that if you go this path you're pretty much on your own ... :-)) Try this out and see what happens. You might also be able, if you're ready adventurous, to increase the modem timeout value in kppprc if 120 seconds is still not enough - it's something I haven't tried - if I haven't connected within 2 minutes I tend to try again later on the assuption that the ISP's portals are overloaded. Cheers John I've cranked up every setting in sight. I think I'm going to have to accept that this modem doesn't like Linux and either live with it or get a new modem. Thanks for the comments.

Adrian Well it's a late reply and probably not very helpful but at least your soundcard is detected and the ALSA drivers are loaded. How about logging in to KDE to test sound? Also, do applications 'appear' to play, like a moving progress indicator? I will take late replies. That's better than none. =) Ok, applications do appear to be playing. Right now XMMS is playing a song. The progress indicator is moving along, the EQ lights are bouncing up and down. Everything looks good right. Just no sound. I logged in to KDE, no love there either. Also nothing from the command line, such as 'play filename.wav'. Good luck! -Frans I mean no offense cause I have done this, did you check which jack you plugged into on the sound card? Most of them will want the green colored port. I Have also noticed that in some cards the pcm will stop sound if turned up to 100. Try shutting down also igain seperately and line and line1 while something is trying to play sound. HTH

Apparently, when you create a FAT32 partition during installation Linux mounts the partition as readonly. Or more specifically, doesn't give permissions for any other user. This makes sense.

RE: [newbie] Telewest broadband connection - nogo
Gave him a cup of coffee, said watch me do it, and yell whoa if you think I'll break something. LOL. That's great. When I was setting up 9.1 with my cable service it was really simple. I used Comcast and all I needed was the hostname that Comcast needed to 'see' on my system. During installation, I selected DHCP, popped in my hostname and everything has been good to go. You don't need the proprietary software (in most cases at least) that the cable company wants to install. Usually all it is is their custom version of IE and a bunch of links to go on your desktop.

It is this easy. You will get a dual boot system. G'day, Thanks to those who answered. I followed the instructions from Lanman and Adolpho above, and got this far: * I disconnected my 80G HDD - better safe than sorry LOL * I fired up Partition Magic and resized the existing NTFS partition down to 8G, and labelled it windoze. * I added another 8G partition, made it FAT32 [on a guess - I figured if Linux couldn't see files on a NTFS partition it probably couldn't install in one either:)], labelled it linux * set the remaining 22G [I wonder where the other 2G went???] as FAT32 and labelled it archive. I fired up windows and moved my data from C: to E: [the newly created archive partition]. So far so good - windoze sees all three partitions. Put in Mandrake 9.0 CD1, went through the languages, kbd/mouse, security - accepted the defaults as they seemed reasonable. Setup Filesystems shows a graphical representation something like this: +-++-+ | || | | /mnt/nt | /mnt/win_c |/mnt/win_d | | || | +-++-+ This **looks** right, but it's not seeing the labels, and it **seems** to be confused: what it calls win_c is actually E and what it calls win_d is actually F [D: is the CDROM]. To be fair, it does say just a guess in the details box when I click on each partition. But: there doesn't seem to be any way [that I can see] to be sure. And even if I was pretty sure that the second partition is the one to put Linux on, I don't see any way on this screen to tell it to do that. Auto Allocate says: not enough space for auto-allocating The wizard gives three options: - erase the entire disk - use the free space on the windoze partition - use the windoze partition for loopback I clicked on toggle to expert mode [with some trepidation, because clearly I'm not - LOL] and found a button to format the partitions, but I chickened out, because I can't be sure which partition is which. And anyhow, the partitions are already formatted FAT32 - do they need to be formatted again to put Linux on them?

-Original Message- From: [EMAIL PROTECTED] [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED]]On Behalf Of Anne Wilson Sent: Friday, 24 January 2003 23:21 To: [EMAIL PROTECTED] Subject: Re: [newbie] Searching 101 [...snip] A reminder of resources from time to time is useful, but for a newbie searching is doubly difficult, because often you don't know the question to ask or the term to search on. I'll pipe in here, as an absolute oober-newbie... I've been lurking here for a few weeks now, trying to get up to speed, and considering this is the newbie list, it's all rather daunting. I must say, 99% of the stuff you guys are talking about goes right over my head. I got Mandrake 9.0 on a magazine front cover CD and loaded it on an old machine, just accepting the defaults as it went through. It messed up the video, I just got a bunch of blurry diagonal lines on the screen, like an old TV. There were a few other things too, but I'll spare you the boring stuff - suffice to say it was two machines later before I got a desktop on the screen... But my [small] point is: imagine being confronted with building and operating some machinery you've never seen before, and all the instructions are in Japanese. You have to look up each kanji character in the dictionary, and try to piece together the meaning of each sentence, word by word. I think there was a story of someone doing a similar thing with a legal dictionary. There's an amazing amount of help out there, and a bewildering array of man pages, howto's etc, but they all [the ones I've seen so far, anyway] assume you already have a machine up and running and you know at least how to start and stop it. The first time I managed to get to a command line I thought the machine had locked up - there was no C:\ with a flashing underscore. Just one little example. I must say, this list seems much more newbie tolerant than some of the usenet groups, which is why I decided to stick my head up with this post. I'll go back to lurking now, and hopefully some of it will sink in and begin to make sense in a while... :) -- Merlin Zener piano and synthesizer Pattaya, Thailand. --- Outgoing mail is certified Virus Free.

Re: [newbie] 9.0 installation problems
Frank - this sounds familiar to me. When I first set up 9.0 I could boot into that, but not into 8.2. After much help from the list I found that it happened because I had a /boot directory in each install (which is what happens if you don't make a separate /boot partition). You need to know which of those is being read by the boot process. If you can't find out, try this solution on both of them - it will do no harm, although only one of them will be used. In the old /boot directory,find the file called initrd-2.4.whatever and the vmlinuz-2.4.whatever. Copy them into the new /boot directory. Do the same the other way round, copying them from the new into the old. You will end up with two similarly named files for each, in my case initrd-2.4.18-6mdk.img and initrd-2.4.19-16mdk.img, and the same for the vmlinuz entries. Boot is only reading one of these, and it needs to be able to find both versions, depending on which you choose in lilo. HTH Anne Thanks for the attempt but that isn't the situation here. My apologies for not making it clearer. The problem seems to be linked with my new motherboard in particular. It runs Mandrake 8.1 and 8.2 beautifully. It just won't install Mandrake 9.0 (I also tried RedHat 8.0 for that matter). I know the installation CDs are fine because I used them on other PCs. I know the CDRom drive isn't the problem because it reads the cds without a problem. It seems to be the actual installation that causes the freeze to the system. When booting from a disk after writing an cdrom.img to it, it still freezes just before the 2nd phase of the installation startup. The same goes for any attempt booting from the harddrive as I copy the entire 3 CDs to another hardrive in a fat32 partition and use a floppy with the hd.img image to boot. BTW, that is an awesome trick to accelerate installation for those whom are curious. It has other benefits too. If I try to do the install in text mode rather than vga mode I get up to this just before it freezes: Posix conformance testing by UNFIX enabled by Extint on CPU#0 ESR value before enabling vector:002 and Blamo! Just a blank screenNumLock jammed up, etc Not that part seems to be resolved (see mandrakeuser) but the initial startup after a successful installation seems to be the next problem I am hoping to get resolved. There isn't any redundant /boot files in my case because Mandrake 8.2 was erased from that drive already. I have a feeling that if I install 9.0 with the CTL/Alt/F2 and rm /usr/blah/blah/blah trick, I will probably be able complete the install and boot up to the newly installed linux if I do an immediate upgrade of the kernel using an old 8.2 rescue disk and the newest kernel burned onto CD ready to mount and install. This seems like the most promising idea I can come up with. Problem is, is it worth the time to experiment?? But thank you again for the immediate response Anne.

I was about to follow the Mandrake 9.0 installation patch specified on their website (with the CTL/ALT/F2 etc...) and then noticed that although you (Walt) were able to successfully install it with this technique, it would not boot up anyway. Did you ever get this to finally boot up nicely? If so, what did you need to do? I on the same boat K7VMM mobo. I think I may have found the fix. I will let you know the results tonight. Aparently the bug is common in many different ways (if that oxymoron makes sense.) All I have to do is boot off the installation cdrom with the noapic option added before boot. Go through the standard installation but add the noapic option in lilo.conf so that it is permanent. Supposingly it should turn out with a Viola!!, but we'll see. (Figures crossed) According to the MandrakeForum, this should help diagnose most periphial conflicts during startup without hindering its functionality from thereafter. Till we meet again. -Frank When you say 'noapic' option added before boot, do you mean F1, then type noapic (and possibly more?) at a prompt? Or what? I'm interested, because I could not install onto an older system than this one, and thought this may be worth a try. Anne Yes. F1 it, then type noapic and enter. If that works (meaning the install continues onward), then make sure you add it to lilo as well. Refer to this link: http://mandrakeforum.com/article.php?sid=2459 I hope that helps.

[newbie-it] Lucent Win Modem
Salve a tutti, ho questo problema: ho installato recentemente la Mdk 9.0, mi ha riconosciuto tutto quasi correttamente tranne il modem (un Lucent Win Modem). Ho letto da varie parti che i WinModem non sono supportati, ma ho comunque trovato il sito http://www.physcip.uni-stuttgart.de/heby/ltmodem/dists/mandrake/8.22a5/ltmodem-kv_2.4.19_16mdk-8.22a5-1.i586.rpm da cui ho scaricato il driver ltmodem-kv_2.4.19_16mdk-8.22a5-1.i586.rpm; utilizzando il Mandrake Control Center (drakconf), ho installato il pacchetto usando la Gestione Software ma il modem continua a non esistere, almeno controllando con la gestione dellhardware con il Mandrake Control Center (Hardware Lista Hardware) e non lo trovo neanche tra i device in /dev (mi aspetto ttyLT0 ma non esiste). Cosa posso fare E se proprio il Lucent è inutilizzabile, quale modem interno economico posso comprare ?? Quali caratteristiche deve possedere ? Grazie a tutti. Salvatore snac Naccari
[newbie] Learn From My Mistakes
Greetings all. I just posted an essay on my web site which I thought might be words of warning to the newbies, and amusing for the people who know what they are doing. Part of the essay is a review of Mandrake 8.2 -- which doesn't matter much since 9.0 is out now. Part of it is the story of how I tried to reconfigure my partitions and operating systems and how along the way I make mistakes and did dumb things. As always however, it was a learning experience. Find it at: 204eastsouth.com/linux08.htm I hope this keeps someone from doing some of the things I did. Enjoy.

[newbie] Mandrake on a low-end machine...
Hi All! My girlfriend is starting to write her thesis, and I don't want her to loose any data because of winblows. Her machine is a 166MHz pentium with 32 MB RAM.

Please share with me experiences of such machines + Mandrake, and tell me which word processor shoul I us (it has to be able to export in word97 format.)

[newbie] Mandrake 9.0 wishlist :-)
I wonder what you'd like to implemented in the 9.0 release.
