[newbie] PostFix Errors
Hello, This weekend I decided to re-install Mandrake 7.0. It was running fine, but I wanted to experiment with getting system sounds working under Gnome with my Aureal sound card. Thus, I decided to remove KDE all together and just go with Gnome. The good news is that the system sounds work. :) The bad news is that I ran into MAJOR problems by not installing KDE. I think its an installation bug. First, when I installed, I selected Custom, unselected KDE and Apache, and installed all of the packages. I configured my networking correctly, it went to try and install crypto and I got an error. No problems, finished the install and rebooted. Upon rebooting I got the error: localhost /etc/rc.d/rc5.d/S80postfix: /etc/sysconfig/network: No such file or directory I noticed a few other errors as well. Mandrake still loaded, I logged in as root, ran DrakConf and noticed there were no networking configured. I configured everything again, tried to activate the changes and was told an error occured. I checked the logs and saw all sorts of error saying "[: =: unary operator expected" I did an init 1/init 5 and still got all sorts of "unary operator expected" errors, but when I got into Gnome I found that my network is working fine. I'm still getting all sorts of these errors when I boot, and although everything works, I'm concerned that something is going to "break." I reinstalled the OS one more time (with a newly burned 7.02 ISO), selected the same options, and am still getting the same errors - yet everything works fine. Any ideas? Thanks... -Necro
Re: [newbie] Permissions on a directory
Open up /etc/fstab and then on the line that describes your vfat partition, add "umask=0" as one of the options. For example, here's mine: /dev/hdb5 /windowsvfat user,exec,nodev,nosuid,rw,conv=auto,umask=0 0 0 I think you can also use linuxconf to change that option too. I have a 6GB HD that is formatted to vfat that I would like to use as both my Wind'ohs and Linux 'scrap' drive to store my documents, downloads etc. I can store stuff here from W but as soon as I try to save anything under Linux anywhere on the drive it tells me I don't have access. I have tried the usual ways to change the permissions but cannot get anything to work. -- Anthony Huereca http://m3000.1wh.com Press any key to continue and any other key to quit

Re: [newbie] iostream.h C++ development problems
I'm not an expert programmer, but isn't the header file you want "iostream.h"
and not "streamio.h"? I could be wrong and all, but I've never seen streamio
and I can't find it on my system even though I installed everything even
remotely related to development.

[newbie] Compiling the Kernel

I've managed to compile the kernel correctly (make mrproper;make menuconfig make bzImage;make dep;make modules;make modules_installs), then I managed to copy bzImage to /boot/vmlinux-2.2.14 and linked vmlinuz ( soft link ), then I updated lilo by adding a "test" addition to lilo with my new kernel. I did all that but when I rebooted I get messages like System.map has incorrect kernel version, and Modules-info.map incorrect kernel version.

RE: [newbie] PCMCIA
Actually I tried that. but went about it a different way. this is the recommended way I heard on how to do that. here it is, but it still did not fix the problem. :( edit the /etc/rc.d/init.d/pcmcia and edit the second digit on the chkconfig line. For instance, change chkconfig: 2345 45 96 #change the number 45 to like 9 or something chkconfig 2345 9 96 then run this command. chkconfig --del pcmcia; chkconfig--add pcmcia this did indeed make the pcmcia start before the eth0 init and it starts with a [OK] but then it goes to bring up eth0 and still fails. when I do a cardinfo it tells me there is no pcmcia driver in /proc/devices ? if I do a ifup eth0 it says delaying eth0 initialization. I also tried a pcmcia start from /etc/rc.d/init.d like this ./pcmcia start it tells me Starting PCMCIA services: module directory /lib/modules/2.2.14-1mdklinus/pcmcia not found. this is really a pain.

If you like me and this "failed" bothers you, go into /etc/rc.d and take a look around. You'll notice several files like rc1.d, rc2.d etc. If your booting init 3 "ex: dos prompt" then go into the rc3.d dir, if your booting straight into the GUI mode "ex: Gnome or KDE" then go into the rc6.d dir.

[newbie] ISA NE2000 compatible failure.
I wonder if anyone can help me, I'm installing Linux-Mandrake 7.0 on a machine that I have previously been running as RedHat 6.0. For this install, I have re-partitioned my drive to give myself more space for /usr, and chosen to install everything. The install seems to go fairly well, except when it comes to configuring networking. I have a no-name NE2000 compatible PNP ISA NIC, which is configured to not use PNP. My BIOS is set to not use PNP. The card was configured for I/O 300, IRQ 3 (COM 2 is disabled in the BIOS, so it is not conflicting for IRQ). This was working happily under RH6.0, but when it comes to loading the module, it fails, even after I put in the I/O address and IRQ. I have tried changing the IRQ on the card to 10 (a setting my other RH6.0 box is using happily) and re-installing, to no avail. The options it is asking for are: io - I've been using 300 probe_pci - I've tried putting a 0 or n here, as well as leaving blank irq - 3 or 10, as the card is set bad - ??? Now, I'm not sure what "bad" is, so any help anyone can give me woould be great. -- Politas ___ Get 100% FREE Internet Access powered by Excite Visit http://freeworld.excite.com

[newbie] Graphics problems
Dear Sir/ Madam, I have the UK version of Linux-Madrake 6.5 and am trying to install this on my computer. However my graphics card and monitor is not supported so I have to configure it myself. I have a Creative Labs GeForce 256 Annihilator PRO grpahics card and a Belinea SVGA non-interlaced 1024x768 monitor. I will input this data along with the amount of memory the card has, the frequencey sync ranges of the monitor etc into the X configurator. But, when I type the command startx into the 'DOS' part of linux where i log in, it will either say that there is a device but no monitor can be found. After a lot of playing about with teh settings, I can load linux, but it is as if the screen has zoomed in and so three icons can fill up the whole screen and windows can not be seen. I have treid using different resolutions but nothing is happening. Can you tell me what to do to solve this problem. Thanks in advance Sebastian Sutherland

[newbie] mandrake 7.02
I have Mandrake 7.0. I purchased it from LinuxCentral but where can I find 7.02
Re: [Fwd: Re: [Re: [[newbie] Swap space 128 Mb?]]]
Well I would look for a crack for vmware on alt.linux.crackz , alt.linux.warez or see if you can trade or sell your current printer. On Sat, 11 Mar 2000, Wayne mewed: Mike, I have said it before and I will say it again. The more I use Linux, the more I dread going back to Windoze. UNfortunately I have a Windows printer (GUI) and it WILL NOT work under Linux. I have thought about gewtting VMWare but cannot afford to buy the license for version 2 which I need because of my video card. ALso, I am still a bit of a gamer and I need Windows for this. I also have a Windows TV tuner (box) for my Asus GeForce. Any one know of a way I can get this running under the Penguin?

Re: [newbie] Appending Ram
Thanks for the advice-- it worked. I hadn't noticed append line seemed to contain duplications. It wouldn't work until I created a new lable (linux2) in linuxconf and specified 128 ram.

Please My girlfriend is going to buy a new computer that support the Ultra-ata 66. She wants to put Linux in her computer but I don't know how it works with U-66. The problem is: The system works without this protocol o it doesn't boot at all? If the problem is only due to a non used protocol, maybe using the U-33 I think that the system will work pretty good too. in fact, maybe I'm wrong, if a good hard-disk has a band-witht of 12MByte using a U-33, or U-66 shouldn't be a problem because the bottleneck is in the speed of Hard-disk and not in the controller.

Re: [newbie] mandrake 7.02
Billit's actually 7.0-2 and you can effective update your 7.0 cd by downloading the appropriate floppy image from: ftp://ftp.linux.tucows.com/pub/distributions/Mandrake/Mandrake/updates/7.00/images/ and making a boot floppy to boot from instead of booting from the 7.0 cd itself.

[newbie] No swap partition? :(
Recently changed from mandrake 6 - 7... Ive never had so many freaking problems in my life! Ive noticed my comp being quite a bit slower with all my apps running... I run kpm to see whats going on, and I dont even have a swap partition. I thought mabye the installer didnt create it. So I go and reinstall mandrake 7, and I choose my own value for swap (the installer wanted to allocated 250megs for swap! Yikes!). I put 70meg swap. Im all setup, I run kpm and it still doesnt show my swap.. comp is still slow! Whats going on? Also, dmesg shows this: Adding Swap: 72256k swap-space (priority -1) Please help :\
