[newbie] Problems with ipw2200 and MDK 10.1
Hi. I have a laptop running MDK 10.1. After looking through several howto's/forums/etc. I did the following trying to get my ipw2200 to work: 1) Download and install kernel source 2) $ su # mkdir /lib/hotplug/firmware /etc/firmware # tar zxvf ipw2200-fw-2.2.tgz # cp *.fw /etc/firmware # cp *.fw /lib/hotplug/firmware # urpmi ipw2200-dkms-0.19-1mdk.noarch.rpm 3) Use the KDE configuration tool to configure the connection 4) Edited /etc/sysconfig/network-scripts/ifcfg-eth0 - since it wanted the MAC address to be loads of zero's. When I do # ifup eth1 I get: grep: /etc/sysconfig/networking/default/ifcfg-*: No such file or directory interface 'eth1' not found Determining IP information for eth1.failed This is not really strange since there is no 'default' directory in /../../networking. Can anyone help me with this? -Henriette Want to buy your Pack or Services from MandrakeSoft? Go to http://www.mandrakestore.com Join the Club : http://www.mandrakeclub.com

I was assuming KDE was the Window Manager. Alt+F2 in KDE gives you a "Run box" to enter a single command. kdesu is simply a way to run a single command as root. The alternative is to open a terminal and enter su to become root user, then all commands will run as root. e.g. konqueror & (The '&' runs the command in background so the terminal can do other things.) derek -- www.jennings.homelinux.net http://twiki.mdklinuxfaq.org Want to buy your Pack or Services from MandrakeSoft?

Is that the blue screen where it says something like "Press Esc for details" above a progress bar? If so, press Esc when it first comes up, and it will show you details of the boot process, so you can see exactly where it is hanging. I recently built my own pc, with a Soyo SY-KT600 DRAGON Plus v.2.0 motherboard, and had similar problems. First it was hanging on the "Checking for new hardware" step. Never did determine exactly why, but I just booted into failsafe, and did a: chkconfig --del harddrake to disable the new hardware check. This check is unnecessary for 99 out of 100 boots anyway, and you can shave a few seconds off your boot time by disabling it. If you ever need it, you can always do a "chkconfig --add harddrake" to re-enable it. Then it hung again, this time trying to bring up my Ethernet. Turned out that that the built-in nic, a Via VT6102 [Rhine II 10/100], is one of those obscure ones that requires the following line to be added to /etc/sysconfig/network-scripts/ifcfg-eth0: MII_NOT_SUPPORTED=no (Nice double negative there!) I couldn't find any info on what exactly this means or why having the default of "yes" causes a hang, but it's been reported in the past with certain other nics. Again, I booted into failsafe, and used vi (a horribly primitive, ugly and painful editor, often referred to as the "evil" editor, but an essential command line survival tool) to edit the file. After that, it booted fine. So try to see what is causing the hang, then try a failsafe boot and see if you can fix it. Also, if it boots in failsafe, you can try the command: telinit 3 This will put it into multi-user mode, but command line only, no X. If it is the graphical configuration that's causing the hang, as Anne suspects, then this will work fine. If this fails, it's hanging on something else. And BTW, a "telinit 5" will take you into regular GUI mode. HTH -- Ron ronhd at users dot sourceforge dot net Opinions expressed here are all mine. "As you know, necessity is the mother of invention.

My Mdk 10.1 Official distribution was enclosed to an Italian linux magazine. I suppose instead that the official pkg shipped onto 3disks of mdk distro contains that package. If so, is it normal (I mean conforming to free software and open source rules) that a package sold out by a magazine as Mandrake 10.1 differs from the original so to lack of such important packages (as libGConf2_4-devel, libgtk+2.0_0-devel and libgtk+-x11-2.0_0-devel)? Can anybody provide answer to this question? Thanks, Rodolfo Want to buy your Pack or Services from MandrakeSoft? Go to http://www.mandrakestore.com Join the Club : http://www.mandrakeclub.com

According to Mikkel's suggestion, I did my changes and then edited /etc/fstab and /etc/lilo.conf to reflect the changes in *all* the partitions involved, also the ones whose bootloader is installed in the first sector of the root partition, not only the one whose bootloader is installed in the first sector of drive (MBR).

It is a problem because the partition numbers are not stored as part of the partition table, but are determined by what is found at boot time. What you can do is make your changes, and then edit /etc/fstab and /etc/lilo.conf to reflect the changes. Probably the simplest way in this case is to do the install of the new OS, mount the / partition of the system you have now broke, edit fstab and lilo.conf on the "broken" system, and try it. The other way is to create the partitions for the "new" install with fdisk, fix fstab and lilo.conf to reflect the change, and tell the installer what partitions to use. If you send a copy of "fdisk -l", /etc/fstab, and /etc/lilo.conf, we can help you with the changes. Or we can take this to the expert list, and start teaching you to make the changes yourself.

[newbie] Problems with more than two linux partitions
Hi. In 10 Gigabyte space I have 4 linux partitions (besides the swap partition), each of them about 2.5 GB size.

[newbie] Problems with ./configure (2)
Hi. I'm trying to install 'scim' in my Mandrake 10.1 system. When I do '$ ./configure', the output contains the following: checking for gconf-2.0 >= 1.2.0... Package gconf-2.0 was not found in the pkg-config search path. Perhaps you should add the directory containing `gconf-2.0.pc' to the PKG_CONFIG_PATH environment variable No package 'gconf-2.0' found checking for gtk+-2.0 >= 2.0.0 pango >= 1.0.0 gdk-pixbuf-2.0 >= 2.0.0... Package gtk+-2.0 was not found in the pkg-config search path. Perhaps you should add the directory containing `gtk+-2.0.pc' to the PKG_CONFIG_PATH environment variable No package 'gtk+-2.0' found checking for gthread-2.0 >= 2.0.0... Package gthread-2.0 was not found in the pkg-config search path. Perhaps you should add the directory containing `gthread-2.0.pc' to the PKG_CONFIG_PATH environment variable No package 'gthread-2.0' found I began searching for gconf-2.0.pc. Obviously, '# urpmi gconf-2.0.pc' gave the output 'no package named gconf-2.0.pc'. Then I did '# urpmf gconf-2.0.pc' and got: Note: since no media searched uses hdlists, urpmf was unable to return any result You may want to use --name to search for package names. , and the same with '# urpmf gconf-2.0'. Then I tried with '# urpmf --name gconf-2.0.pc', but got no output. Then I tried with '# urpmf gconf' and got a very long list of different packages, but none with 'gconf-2.0.pc' in it. I expect similar problems to occur also for the packages gtk+-2.0.pc and gthread-2.0.pc. How to supply the error message? How to know what's the right package that has to be installed?

You are best off uninstalling both the compiled version, and the RPM version and then installing the RPM version again. Generally when compiling from source I like to either compile a .src.rpm which will create an RPM package I can install, or else use 'checkinstall' (its in contrib) which is a script to create an RPM from source. That way my RPM database will know all about the package I have compiled and it is easy to remove and conflicts are avoided in the future.

[newbie] Problems with ./configure
I'm trying to install abiword.

Any idea of what the problem is and how to fix it?

Re: [newbie] problems adding disk and moving /var data
Hi there, sorry for the late reply, just came back from a little holiday/xmas shopping :) anyway, I know now what I was doing wrong, probably a typical newbie mistake! When all data was moved to /var2, I had no more /var! I should have created a directory /var (empty) to mount the new filesystem on. When booting, /etc/fstab refered to a folder that did not exist :-S Thanks for the advise anyway!

In brief to move /var to a new partition the steps are :- 1/ Make a new partition and mount it on var2 2/ Copy /var to /var2 with cp -a /var/* /var2 (/var2 should now contain the files previously on /var including symlinks) 3/ Revise /etc/fstab so /the partition currently mounted as /var2 will be mounted as /var 4/ Reboot derek -- www.jennings.homelinux.net http://twiki.mdklinuxfaq.org Want to buy your Pack or Services from MandrakeSoft?

I'm using gmail, please make sure you send your reply back to the > list, thanks. Can't see a whole lot wrong with what you did, but maybe I am missing something in your explanation. Anyway FWIW, here's how I would do the move: - make a partition on the new disk - init 1 to boot into single user mode - mount the new partition as /newvar - cp -a /var /newvar - cd / - mv var oldvar - mkdir var - change fstab to mount the new partition as /var - reboot Having verified that all is working, you can now safely: rm -rf /oldvar If you prefer to use a GUI editor to change fstab, just create a copy of it with the change in place before booting into level 1, then: mv /etc/fstab /etc/fstab-old mv /etc/fstab-new /etc/fstab in place of the "change fstab..." step.

[newbie] problems adding disk and moving /var data
Hi, I've installed my proxy server (squid) on a mandrake 9.1 on a VMWare running on a Windows 2000 Server... just to start and learn more about Linux. I have a lot of servers installed, so my 4Gb disk is getting a little bit full. I had 3 partitions, /, /home and swapspace. I tried adding a new (virtual) disk with diskdrake, wanting /var to be mounted on the new filesystem. That folder is most likely to expand the most and the fastest. I got a couple problems with diskdrake so I mounted it on /var2 and thought "I can fix that later..." Anyway, I later moved all existing data from /var to /var2 after stopping all services, removed /var and wanted to mv /var2 /var didn't work :-/ I changed /etc/fstab so the new disk would mount on /var next time but no such luck. Instead a new /var folder was created and /var2 was emtpy (after rebooting and reconfiguring /etc/fstab I found my data again). Could anyone please give me a hint how I can proceed to move /var to the new disk? Tia, Jan PS. I'm using gmail, please make sure you send your reply back to the list, thanks.

I only get eth1 when I type ifconfig eth1... This sounds like you didn't install the firmware properly. For 10.1 you need the firmware version 0.54. Once that was installed in the right place, I could go past the point of choosing between "manual" or "automatic" and properly set up the device. However with the version 0.54 (wich is the one included in 10.1 Community) i could not get encyption to work, I had to upgrade to 0.55. sebastian Want to buy your Pack or Services from MandrakeSoft?

I did have problems with the CDs when I installed 10.1 thus I installed most of it with urpmi thus I don't know what packet I need since I would install it with urpmi...

When I set up a new network connection, I have wireless as an option but even though I tried to set it up that way I always end at the option "manual" or "automatic" setup, no matter which option I choose.

[newbie] Problems with 10.1 and wireless (ipw2100 - intel centrino)
Hi all, sorry if I bother you with an old topic but so fare I haven't found anything which really helped me with my problem in the mailing list. I have an Dell Inspiron 510m with a Pentium M. The PC is fine apart for the wireless. 10.1 detects my card but apparently I had to download and install the firmware of the card as well and now firmware and card are installed, it's detected but I can't use it. Frist thing which is strange is the output for ifconfig: [EMAIL PROTECTED] minos]# ifconfig eth0 Protokoll:Ethernet Hardware Adresse 00:0D:56:E0:61:15 inet6 Adresse: fe80::20d:56ff:fee0:6115/64 Gültigkeitsbereich:Verbindung UP BROADCAST MULTICAST MTU:1500 Metric:1 RX packets:0 errors:0 dropped:0 overruns:0 frame:0 TX packets:5 errors:0 dropped:0 overruns:0 carrier:0 Kollisionen:0 Sendewarteschlangenlänge:1000 RX bytes:0 (0.0 b) TX bytes:378 (378.0 b) Interrupt:11 Basisadresse:0x5000 loProtokoll:Lokale Schleife inet Adresse:127.0.0.1 Maske:255.0.0.0 inet6 Adresse: ::1/128 Gültigkeitsbereich:Maschine UP LOOPBACK RUNNING MTU:16436 Metric:1 RX packets:182 errors:0 dropped:0 overruns:0 frame:0 TX packets:182 errors:0 dropped:0 overruns:0 carrier:0 Kollisionen:0 Sendewarteschlangenlänge:0 RX bytes:11462 (11.1 Kb) TX bytes:11462 (11.1 Kb) No wireless... but if I type ifconfig eth1 I get the wireless card: [EMAIL PROTECTED] minos]# ifconfig eth1 eth1 Protokoll:UNSPEC Hardware Adresse 42-4F-C0-00-24-85-04-30-00-00-00-00-00-00-00-00 BROADCAST MULTICAST MTU:1500 Metric:1 RX packets:0 errors:0 dropped:0 overruns:0 frame:0 TX packets:0 errors:0 dropped:0 overruns:0 carrier:0 Kollisionen:0 Sendewarteschlangenlänge:1000 RX bytes:0 (0.0 b) TX bytes:0 (0.0 b) In my opinion this is strange...

[newbie] Problems with Emacs after installing RPM's
Hello to everyone. I have a problem difficult to state, that is why, if the answer already exists out there, i didn't manage to find it. I will try to describe shortly: it seems that, after installing RPM packages (in Mandrake 9.2), sometimes (randomly), there are undesirable side effects. Examples: - after installing some packages (i don't remember which ones) i lost the icons of the Mandrake menus, and some other modules got lost, so KDE didn't work properly (for example, KDE key shortcuts didn't work the way i had defined). All these problems disappeared after installing EasyTag with RPM's. - after installing drivers of ALSA, i got Emacs starting with a delay that was way longer than tolerable. Emacs worked fine, at the usual speed, but it took several seconds (up to around one minute sometimes) for its window to appear. This problem disappeared upon unknown solution (unknown to me, of course) - finally, today i installed NTP package (contained in 9.2 distro CDs), and after that, i found arrow keys redefined in Emacs, so that they deactivate the mark, what is really annoying. I think i can solve it, but it beats the hell out of me how did it come. Maybe installing packages have nothing at all to do with those problems, but it is the only event that i can put in connection with them.

Reboot your system one time. If the stick is recognized correctly, and it probably will be, and your new entry for it is added to fstab by Harddrake/kudzu, go to the MCC and turn off Harddrake--uncheck the box for starting "on boot". Reboot. If the stick is still working you can leave Harddrake off, unless you install some new hardware. Harddrake is a cool tool, but I never leave it on once I get my system working because it can mess up and discover hardware that I already have installed. It is especially bad about re-recognizing USB components. As for your CD/DVD--aren't those scsi emulated?? I haven't got one, but I "thought" that DVD drives were /dev/scdX not /dev/hdX.

This way you can change things back to what you had before. Now run "alsaconf" as root and follow the instructions. When it starts it will ask you to shut down alsa and sound, it will attempt to do it its self but its not 100% (it worked for me, without me shutting them down). If you want you can turn them off your self as root with "chkconfig alsa off" "chkconfig sound off" and check to see if there off with "chkconfig --list" and turn them back on with "chkconfig alsa on" "chkconfig sound on" if "alsaconf" doesn't restart them, it should though. Alsaconf wrote a new /etc/modprobe.conf and sound still works. You can try it and see what happens like I said you can put things back if not.

[newbie] Problems here.
I'm having some major problems with my sons 1.3 Duron powered Soyo setup. He's dual-booting Win98SE and v9.2 of Mandrake off an 80 gig Maxtor HD. He's got 384 megs of memory. I've had his system dual-booting with Win and Linux for about 2 years now - no major problems. About 2 weeks ago he told me he booted up but couldn't use his mouse. Logitech optical, USB model. I checked dmesg and there was a complaint about a USB dependency. I reran "depmod -a" and it seemed to fix it. About 3 days ago, he lost sound. He has onboard sound. I went thru the MCC and tried various things, finally having to force it to change to another driver and sound was returned. Next bootup, USB mouse services were lost again. This time, depmod -a did not fix it, complaining about a USB problem and /lib/2.4.xxx/kernel/sound/drivers/vx not being able to be used because I (root) didn't have permission. I've never seen or heard of this file before. So...I changed to that directory. No such file, can't rm it. Yet depmod -a insists its there. Finally, another failed attempt at depmod -a resulted in a *huge* list of failed dependencies. So...I attempted to boot into CD1 and do a rescue. This resulted in a kernel panic. Unable to proceed. Well, I thought I'll try the trick where you repair the system by reinstalling, just not picking all the packages that are already installed so it just fixes the base system. Fails at 2nd stage ramdisk. Well. I've got 10.0, boxed set, and everything important was backed up so I fdisked his Linux partition. I tried booting into 10.0 and and it failed, various times, at various ram disk stages. I tried booting with the 2nd CD and then switching, got a kernel panic a couple of times, and ram disk failures others. I tried rescue with disk 1 of 10.0 and got the same failures as 9.2. During all this time, Lilo was still functioning and we were able to boot fine into Windows (go figure the luck!). Finally, Lilo now reports a "time stamp mismatch" and nothing is bootable from his system, not Linux (even failsafe) or Windows. Because its showing the same symptoms with 10.0 and 9.2 (and remember that 9.2 had previously installed fine on this setup and been running since 9.2s' release) I'd lean towards a hardware problem. Other than that, at this point, I'm at a loss on how to proceed, short of dumping the HD and getting a new one (its not that old - about 1.5-2 yrs). Anyone have any useful suggestions, thoughts or ideas? Thanks gang. -- /\ Dark< >Lord \/ Want to buy your Pack or Services from MandrakeSoft?

Preston, if there are issues with accessing w98 partitions from within windows, simply because you can see those partitions in Linux doesn't mean that the issues don't exist. Attempting to copy those files off of damaged partitions may still result in errors, borked files, bad data, etc. Doing something to a damaged disk with Linux is no guarantee of success. However, given that you are trying to restore what appear to be damaged partitions, rather than trying to make a zip backup of the entire dataset, why not start small and work forward from there. Take the smallest drive and copy the contents into a directory in your Linux partition. Once you have the files there, you can remove the partition with DiskDrake, Create a new FAT partition and copy the files back. Hopefully, when you restart W98, the act of recreating the partition will have fixed whatever problems were preventing you from accessing it. Rinse and repeat with each partition in turn until you have an entirely new set of partitions. If you get errors when you try to copy the files under Linux, you can rest assured that there are data errors. Either stop there and try to get a good data restoration tool for windows to attempt to recover the files, or accept that there are losses and try to recover what you are able to and write the rest off. After transferring the files to the new partition, check them. If they are complete, you are good, if not, you still have the files on the Linux partition and if the files themselves are corrupt, well, they would have been just as corrupt if you had managed to zip them and write them to a CD, wouldn't they? My guess would be that there are probably going to be some data errors and bad CRC's when you try to copy the files, otherwise you probably wouldn't be having problems accessing windows partitions from within windows. If it were me, I would try to get a tool like Paragon Partition Manager, or Partition Magic and attempt to repair the partitions with that, especially if there are specific data errors when trying to copy the files. But that is your call. -- Bryan Phinney Software Test Engineer Want to buy your Pack or Services from MandrakeSoft? Go to http://www.mandrakestore.com Join the Club : http://www.mandrakeclub.com
[newbie] problems typing some characters
Hi there Whet hitting the " key, nothing happens. I have to hit " and then space to get a double quotation. Hitting " and then o gives me ö, so I guess this setup is to support special characters, but I dont want that. This happens in console and in X. Any ideas?

Re: [newbie] Problems with accents.
Re-reading better your mail, I see your problem is in the server, not in
the Windows clients. I am not sure my suggestion does the trick, sorry.

By default (i.e. after installation) the last two lines are commented
out, just uncomment them and restart the samba server.

hi guys.
I using Mandrake 10.0 to serve about 50 win98 clients with Samba.
My problem is:
any file or directory created by clients, that have accents (' ~" `
^), in the Linux (and just in the Linux server) I can't see the name
correctly... I see strange characters instead...
I need to make backups, from Linux server, so I need to resolve this,
cause the files will be stored with strange characters...
Maybe some problem with Samba, but I don't know...
Someone have a clue ?
Thank you
