[newbie] A question about RPMDrake
Since urpmi has a feature to keep updated packages in a cache directory for later, does RPMDrake adopt this feature as well?

Re: [newbie] A question about RPMDrake
Thank you for the answer and I hope I am not overstaying my welcome. If I were to do something like configuring Samba shares, do I have to login or SU as root? I figure that because I need to alter the smb.conf file. === Main Mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED] School/work-related Mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED] Please make sure you're using the right mail! __ Post your free ad now! http://personals.yahoo.ca Want to buy your Pack or Services from MandrakeSoft?

[newbie] 'easy to use tool' (html-output?) to analyse login attempts from illegal users...
I just figured out that there have been several attempts to login to some remote 10.0 linux boxes. For the moment I use grep to find these 'users' but I am shure that there is a better way to analyze. I would prefer a html-like overview to summarize this information... ;-) -- (° Best regards //\Harald T ZIPKO V_/_ No html - Mails! -- Want to buy your Pack or Services from MandrakeSoft?

... Have you tried webmin? What exactly do you mean? I am using webmin to remotely manage this Mdk box - but I can hardly figure out which module to use in order to summarize _illegal login attempts_.

Re: [newbie] Using a graphical terminal remotely

[newbie] Changing Defaults in OOo??
Hi all.I originally sent this to the OOo users list. I'm trying to change the default font and *font size* for text documents in OOo. I do not seem to be able to change the font size and save as the default. I would be willing to create a new style or template or whatever is necessary so long as when I open a new document it opens with my choice of font and font size. I've tried creating a custom style but it is only good for the open document. There's got to be some relatively easy/direct way of doing this, I just can't seem to find it. Also I am unable to change the default format for saving documents. As it is now the default is for MS Word. Nothing I do seems to change it. Choosing Tools Options Load/save General and selecting text document, changing the Always save as field from MS Word to OOo 1.0 changes it only as long as OOo is running. Once I close the program it reverts to the MS Word format.In addition to being very inconvenient, I find it offensive that the default should be to the MS format. OH yes, I'm running Linux Mandrake 9.2 if that matters. Here are the responses I got. For your document default, you need to create a new document and set your defaults. Then save it as a template, and set that template to be your default. Then when you open a new document, the template will be imported and the defaults obeyed. You can also add styles to the template if you like. I don't know what to tell you about the save preferences. ~ Langsley, Please have a look in the FAQ : http://user-faq.openoffice.org as what you want to do is explained there - changing the default template. ~~ What it says at the above URL. How can I setup styles for my default document? If you do a File = New without specifying a template, your default template will be used to set up the new document. You can change this to suit your preferences for example by changing the attributes of the standard styles or by adding your own custom styles. You then need to save this as a template, by File = Templates = Save to save it with a filename like MyDefault.stw. Finally, to make this your default File = Templates = Organize, select MyDefault.stw and and Commands = Set As Default Template. My response. OK I followed the directions from shane: For your document default, you need to create a new document and set your defaults. Then save it as a template, and set that template to be your default. Then when you open a new document, the template will be imported and the defaults obeyed. You can also add styles to the template if you like. Everything went fine through saving as template. I now have a document template with my name. After that though it falls apart. I can find no way to use the template for anything other than document I used to create it. I the followed the directions from the FAQ: How can I setup styles for my default document? If you do a File = New without specifying a template, your default template will be used to set up the new document.

Finally, to make this your default When I do this I get the following error message. Error writing document name.stw General error Error input/output error. Actually I had tried all of the above before writing. I have since tried this on two separate machines both running Mandrake 9.2 with the same results. Now what?!?! So far that's where it stands with the OOo list. Nobody seems to have an answer. Am I actually dealing with a Mandrake issue here, and not an OOo problem per se?? I'd sure like to get this resolved. Any help would be greatly appreciated. TIA LTR }}:{( [EMAIL PROTECTED] Want to buy your Pack or Services from MandrakeSoft?

Re: [newbie] Mandrake 10 destroying Windows XP boot
They way I did it was to install XP fully, then reboot to the Mandrake 10 CD. Then install using a small /boot partition in front of the windoze partition and then the rest of mandrake after windows. Worked perfectly Troy T.

Everything went fine on the Linux side - but choosing Windows from the boot options caused a freeze, with a flashing cursor on black screen. The XP recovery console couldn't cope with the Linux partitions being in the FAT, so I ended up with a complete repartition, reformat and reinstall of XP. Not wanting to go through that twice, is there anything I should be doing with Mandrake other than following the default setup? EZiest way - DELETE XP. Can't argue with that. However, if you really must keep XP around, do the install by booting from the Mandrake CD *after* you have XP installed (leave some unpartitioned space, at least 5 or 6 GB). Sounds from what you said you installed Mandrake from within Windoze, not the way to go, AFAIK. If you install Mandrake by booting from the CD, it will use the unpartitioned space, and install LILO with a Win option, and play nicer. -- JoeHill Registered Linux user #282046 Homepage: www.orderinchaos.org +++ Where the state begins, individual liberty ceases, and vice versa. -- Bakunin Want to buy your Pack or Services from MandrakeSoft?

If it is a problem that may be encountered by many users, it is also useful to put in on the TWiki. Anne - -- Registered Linux User No.293302 Hi Anne, and all. I went to the http://start.at/modem as suggested and looked up the modem in question a 3Com/US Robotics internal PCI modem, model number 0762 The information there: Chipset data: Manufacturer Texas Instruments a custom chipset for U.S. Robotics Applications PCI bus full hardware modem. Linux support The Kermit family modems are supported by setserial and the Linux kernel. Setup hints for older versions of setserial. Indicates quite clearly that the modem is indeed a hardware modem (which I already knew). It also indicates that the modem is fully supported, that I was not so sure of. I also have a full hardware PCI modem (different brand etc.)but still a hardware modem in this machine which works but which MDK 9.2 identifies as a winmodem. Taking all of this into account and not wanting to devote any more time to simply getting a supported modem to work, I returned the internal PCI modem and replaced it with an external, serial connect modem which worked immediately. This decision was based on much else I've read here on this list. My advice: Don't buy ANY internal modem and expect it to work with MDK or probably any linux distro. It may well work but it just as well may not work, no-matter whether or not it is a fully supported hardware modem. Why take the chance, go through the aggravation and expense, time and repeated trips to one's local parts supplier when buying an external, serially connected, modem will work with no problems. Perhaps this is an over simplification but it sure seems to me that there are just too many difficulties associated with any internal modem and Linux to make them worth even considering. I know when talking to people I'm trying to convert to linux on the desktop I'm going to recommend that they go out and buy an external modem. Of course none of the above trouble shooting would have been possible had I not had a second machine with a working internet connection. So, even though I found the information to be interesting and even helpful, It would be unavailable to anyone whose only PC was the one with the misidentified/unusable modem. If one has Windows installed on the machine with the modem one is trying to get to work with Linux, one could, of course, log on to the internet via windows to do all of the above. However I consider telling people to use Windows to solve their Linux problems worse than offering no solution at at all. We, even the complete neophyte, must be able to solve our Linux problems using Linux. If we can't do that, we can't, at least I can't, with good conscience, tell people to make the change from Windows on the desktop to Linux on the desktop. I know that there is a good deal of valuable, usable, friendly, support available to the Linux newbie. I consider this list to be one of those valued, friendly, sources of support for me. I am equally convinced that any and all support must be available either in the form of the printed word, preferably in manuals shipped with the distros, or accessible via Linux itself, either in the form of user-friendly help programs included with the OS or via the internet. It is essential that we, even the complete newbie, be able to solve our problems with Linux without resorting to ANY other OS. I hope that wasn't too much of a rant.

[newbie] LCD Monitor-Unusable signal
Hi all. I bought a beautiful new Samsung 191T plus 19 inch TFT LCD monitor. It has a resolution of 1280X1024 @75Hz. I'm running MDK 9.2. When I attach the new monitor and reboot everything goes fine through the entire boot process, then just as x starts to load (at least I think that's what's happening) the screen goes black and I get a dialogue box saying unusable signal. I don't see any way around this. Is there some way to setup my system using my CRT monitor so that when I attach my LCD monitor it will produce a usable signal? Or is there some way with the LCD monitor connected to do some sort of configuration of my system to make it usable? The monitor came with Linux setup instructions but I'll admit I don't really understand them and if I can't get a picture at all how can I configure anything?

I want to let everyone on the list know how helpful lanman has been this week in getting me back up to speed. We completely took the server down to bare hardware, and slowly brought it back to working order. Along with it we redesigned my network so that I am nolonger hiding behind the gigafast router and instead am using my server to provide the job. Yes it took a few long distance phonecalls to canada to figure it all out *boy i'm dreading that phone bill* BUT, he spent his time when he didn't have to. He asked for nothing in return. He even told me that quite honestly I shouldn't have been having to do all the hoop jumping I was having to do to get things to work. He could have just thrown up his hands and said, I don't know its not behaving normally so I give up, but he didn't. Somethings he fixed, some I figured out, but we both had good laughs and I think I've made a friend.

I think your right Erylon.

[newbie] mdk 9,2 vs Engarde Commuinity your opinion requested
Hi everyone; First let me start out by saying I know I goofed. I turned off iptables and got hacked. so now I'm trying to consider the best distro for ME. The server was nat'd behind a gigafast router onto a private IP so I thought I was safe. Thats what I get for thinking. At anyrate, I've been using Engarde for a few years and had never been hacked while using it. But it doesn't have X capabilities out of the box, because its designed to be an extremely secure server envirorment ONLY. My goal is for my server to handle mail, dns,web, mailing list, mysql, php(?), and an e-store. It will only serve 2 domains. It really is not important that X is on there at all. It is only important that its smart enough to protect me from me. So that I know my customers data is safe and secure. I'm willing to invest time to learn the intricasies of a distro but I want to pick one and stick with it. Otherwise I'll continue to chase my tail and never learn anything. Both distro's have excellent commuinity support. Your thoughts are appreciated. Troy T.

Re: [newbie] What is the best way to configure the network?
ok, I'll work on getting this thing changed over to a static. I don't want to use the cable company because they want $100/mo for it. There is a local company that offers wireless DSL with a static for about $50/mo but I don't know if it would be secure enough to run a sever on. Also since I'm in Kansas I don't know what the weather would do. They've tested my house and say I have a great signal if I choose to use their service. I already have one domain registered with go-daddy.com but I haven't registered the other yet. I really appreciate all your help on this Lanman Troy - Original Message - From: Lanman [EMAIL PROTECTED] To: [EMAIL PROTECTED] Sent: Sunday, January 11, 2004 1044 N6REJ Subject: Re: [newbie] What is the best way to configure the network? Troy; Before you can set up both domains, you need to have DNS running. Since you don't have a static IP address, you can't register your DNS server in the normal fashion, so you're going to have to use EZ-IPupdate. It's located on the download CD's, so even if you have a commercial version of the CD's you should be able to find the RPM package for it and install it. Mandrake Control Center is good for that. EZ-IPupdate will give you access to the sites below which will provide you with a domain name for free. Once you have that running, it will update the DNS servers at the site you chose, whenever your ISP changes your IP address. Even if you keep the IP address for a year and a half, they will eventually change it, and EZ-IPupdate will automatically contact the site and update your IP address, usually withing half a day. Here is a short list of the sites that offer the free service; http://www.ez-ip.net * http://www.justlinux.com * http://www.dhs.org * http://www.dyndns.org * http://www.ods.org * http://gnudip.cheapnet.net (GNUDip) * http://www.dyn.ca (GNUDip) * http://www.tzo.com * http://www.easydns.com * http://www.dyns.cx * http://www.hn.org * http://www.zoneedit.com Once you have that running, and they've given you a domain name, you can come back to the Mandrake List and I'll give you a hand with running both domains. In order to save time, you might as well install BIND while you're at it. We'll get to that later. It may take up to 2 or 3 days for your domain name from EZ-IPupdate to become vaild, so you'll have to be patient. While you're at it, have a look at some of the other ISP's in your area for an inexpensive DSL or ADSL provider. You might be surprised with what you find. There's one near my place that provides ADSL connections with static IP's for homes at $50.00/month, and that's a 3.5Mbps connection.

Re: [newbie] How To Network Windows XP Pro and Linux Mandrake 9.1 Together
I don't know alot about it, but I can point you in some general directions. Xp has Internet Connection Sharing Wizard that is designed for this. Linux has Samba Mandrake has LinNeighborhood which is its eqv to Network Neighborhood. There are security issues which I'm not qualified to speak on depending on which is your gateway to the net. From what I understand its much more secure for linux to be the gateway vs xp.

Re: [newbie] Master HDD won't mount in dual-boot system
Don't know if this is relevant or not but I used to have a problem with one of my hd's where it did not won't to co-exist on the same controller channel as another. If it was all by itself on the controller channel it would be seen in linux just fine and the correct size. But when I put it with another drive, ESPECIALLY a seagate drive, it would change its drive geometry. Or not work at all. I eventually segregated it to its own box and it lives there still. I've also seen issues where if you use a cable that is not properly rated for the controller channel ( typically ide0 ) it will cause issues. Hardware can be frustrating sometimes.

I used to run both HDDs from an ATA controller card, but I got rid of that and put both drives on IDE 0 to simplify my system. That changed hdf to hdb without a problem (with appropriate changes to fstab), but somehow hde just went 'poof' and disappeared instead of showing up again as hda. A few things I can think of: hda should be jumpered for Master and it should be (if I recall correctly, someone will correct me if I'm wrong) on the end of the IDE cable. The slave drive should be attached to the center cable connector. Does your bios show both drives being detected and identified correctly? (assuming you don't have a crippled bios like a Gateway or some such). Do you get a message at the first boot screen (right after memory test) that shows the Master and Slave drive being identified? Have you tried moving hdb to ide1, and having hda alone on ide0? Tried booting with only hda plugged in? Lots of stuff you can do to determine what the problem is, but it acts like: 1. hda has no power plugged into it 2. hda is jumpered wrong, or in the wrong position on the cable 3. the IDE cable is bad, not plugged in, or plugged in wrong--red marker not to pin 1 (not impossible to do with some cable/drive combos) 4. the hd has gone bad Above all, I would say make sure that neither drive is jumpered for Cable Select. It causes far more problems than it solves. Anne The hda is working fine. It's the master on a dual-boot system and has the XP OS and most of my data on it. It shows up in BIOS during boot just fine. The hardware also seems to be detected in dmesg, but no drivers are available. And I just double checked the jumper and it's set to 'master', not cable select.

Re: [newbie] 9.2 - Cannot setup printer
From the manual If you want to use a parallel printer connected locally to your machine, make sure that the parallel port mode is set to ECP+EPP or at least to one of ECP or EPP and NOT to SPP, unless you have a really old printer. If the parallel port is not set this way you might still be able to print, but your printer will not be detected autmoatically and you will have to configure it by hand. ... Also CUPS is generally used for remotely connected printers.

I realise this is probably a very basic question, but I have a pre-done word contract that needs to have several fields filled out each time a new one is signed. I would like to store the data in a mysql database. The fields are all important and could be needed to be searched on at different times. I know which are my key fields, but I don't know how to do this. I would like it to be html if at all possible. If not OO is fine.

Just black screen. It doesn't even start loading program into memory. I had a heck of a time getting Mdk 9.2 onto a Pentium 266 Laptop, as the CDs were not being read properly. It sounds alot like your problem. I have a Dell Inspiron 3200, that now functions great, but at 266 speeds. Try installing using the network.img image, and setting it up to either upload the files via NFS or FTP. I hope you have a fast connection for either one. Rob I don't think you have to do that; I had the same problem, now that you mention it. I just burned the cdrom.img to floppy and booted from there; after that I was able to install via CDROM. If you have a CD-ROM that can't read the burned disks (I do.) then it is the only way to get Linux on the machine. And when that was the problem, it acted very similar to what was described. Works for me. Rob Well, I'm starting to remember alot of stuff about the AMD K6 install; and I think that my AMD system was freezing at the same point as what Morten described. If the cdrom was incapable of reading the CD then the boot process wouldn't have begun at all. What is happening is a glitch during the load, which for some reason does NOT occur when the system (here) is booted from floppy, and THEN the cd is read. (A problem with the installation process per se) So therefore I was forced to install the Power Pack cd's with a floppy boot on the AMD server; which did work fine. It may be that a cdrom.img floppy/CD install won't work on your machine; is that one of the avenues you tried? Hopefully Mort won't have to go that route, as CD installation is much faster.

Re: [newbie] Update Blew Away OO.o Again/Sound
Charlie, you said: The next thing you need to do is open a terminal, become super user and run the command drakxservices. Be sure sound is set to start at boot as well as alsa if that's what you're using. Just scroll down the list and find the services set to start at boot. If those two aren't in state running click the relevant Start buttons to activate them. I ran the drakxservices command and found that sound is indeed set to start at boot. alsa, on the other hand, is not. I tried clicking on start and got the message alsa driver not running I clicked on start at boot and clicked on the start button again and got the same message. So I deselected start at boot for alsa and closed the window. I then ran draksound. The info in the window is as follows, Your card currently uses the OSS es1371 driver (default driver for your card is es1371) I opened the drakservices window again to look for the settings for OSS. Of course there is no listing for OSS or es1371 in the drakxservices window. I reopened the draksound window and clicked on troubleshooting. This simply brought up a window telling me what various commands tell me. /sbin/lsmod said it would tell me whether or not the driver is loaded so I typed /sbin/lsmod at the command prompt and waited. Obviously nothing was happening, so, after a while I closed the sound configuration window. Once I closed the sound configuration window, the previously entered /sbin/lsmod produced the following. /sbin/lsmod Module Size Used byNot tainted ppp_deflate 4472 0 (autoclean) bsd_comp 5400 0 (autoclean) lp 8160 0 parport_pc 25544 1 parport 34472 1 [lp parport_pc] mga 98332 14 agpgart 48292 3 (autoclean) es1371 27788 1 ac97_codec 15828 0 [es1371] soundcore6340 0 [es1371] gameport 3268 0 [es1371] ppp_async9312 1 ppp_generc 24292 3 [ppp_deflate bsd_comp ppp_async] slhc 6564 0 [ppp_generic] af_packet 14856 0 (autoclean) sr_mod 19384 0 (autoclean) floppy 55932 0 nls_iso8859- 3484 2 (autoclean) nls_cp8504284 2 (autoclean) vfat11820 2 (autoclean) fat 38040 0 (autoclean) [vfat] supermount 84032 3 (autoclean) ide-cd 33956 0 cdrom 32608 0 [sr_mod ide-cd] ide-scsi11376 0 usb-uhci25136 0 (unused) usbcore 74988 1 [usb-uhci] rtc 9004 0 (autoclean) ext360048 2 jbd 39264 2 [ext3] sd_mod 12188 0 (unused) aic7xxx162160 0 scsi_mod93344 4 [sr_mod ide-scsi sd_mod aic7xxx] I wish I could say I understand any of this, but unfortunately, that is just not the case. It appeared that other commands listed only offered the information already contained in the sound configuration window, so I didn't bother running any of them. I did click on the help button and found that apparently alsa is a newer, more powerful alternative to OSS. But does that mean I should be using alsa in spite of the fact that OSS is apparently the default for my sound card? Or did I misinterpret the information in the sound configuration window? If alsa is what is needed, how do I start it? Thanks again for all the help and *patience*! LTR }}:{( [EMAIL PROTECTED] Want to buy your Pack or Services from MandrakeSoft?

In this box I have an Audigy Platinum. The default for that is OSS, but emu10k2 is an alternative driver. I found that I got much better results by changing to that. If you are offered an alternative driver, try it. You can always change it back if it doesn't help. Anne Following your suggestion I changed the driver to the other option offered. Then I thought how do I test it? I opened the Configuration-KDE-Look and Feel-system notifications and tested one of the wav choices. Still no sound. So I went back and changed the driver back to the original es1371. I returned again to the System notification configuration and tried again. Still no sound. So I figured I'd try playing with any setting options I could find basically setting everything to maximum. Still no luck. Then I clicked on player settings. I noted that Use External Player was checked but that no player was specified. I deselected the use external player option and tried again. I selected the KDE open wav file and hit the play button. The resulting sound rose me from my chair, startled everyone in the house, and sent the dogs barking to get out. After letting the dogs out,I adjusted the volume and tried again with much less startling results. So apparently the problem all along was that somehow or other the use external player option was selected at some point. During the update??
