Re: [newbie-it] Directory del Kernel
Nonono, non dovrebbe essere così. Anch'io ,come te ho installato prima la 8.0, poi la 8.1, con i CD di installazione, ed effettivamenti non vengono caricati i sorgenti Kernel. Secondo me li devi installare a mano dal Cd; li trovi in formato RPM in CD1 - /Mandrake/Kernel-2.4.3-20mdk.i586.rpm. Secondo me...

Allora ho guardato nel software manager per vedere se c'era qualcosa tipo: Kernel, src o .config (Immagino che il file sorgente è del tipo src); comunque nè sulla root, nè sui cdrom ho trovato il KernelXXX.src.* o cose del genere. A questo punto mi domando: io penso di essere in grado di trovare in rete dei file del tipo: Kernel XXX.src.rpm, ma che io sappia se 'downloddo' un .src.rpm poi sulle mie directory o resta come sta o lo lancio, ma se lo lancio faccio qualcosa di più che depositare un sorgente sulla /usr/src/linux. Se lancio un kernel.rpm immagino che reinstallo il kernel, cosa che in questo momento è già presente e configurata. Dunque se per installare un driver devo scendere fino al sorgente del Kernel mi sottometto volenteroso a questo sacrificio, dunque la nuova domanda è: non avendo trovato traccia del sorgente sulla root e sui CD, cosa devo scaricare da rete e cosa ci devo fare ?

[newbie] Fujitsu/Siemens Celvin EasyPC Mandrake 8 Install (2).
Hi again, Out of curiosity, I tried installing Red Hat 7 on the Celvin. Red Hat also called the SiS 530 video for a SiS 620, but interestingly, both the 530 and the 630 configurations worked with the IBM P50 monitor. Red Hat has a setting for adjusting what I assume is video card memory during video card configuration. The default setting was 8192k, which was also what worked correctly. I am however, only interested in getting Mandrake 8 to work on this machine, so... the question is whether there is a way to adjust the video card memory settings when I select the video card, during the Mandrake install procedure? Was this something I missed?? BTW, I found out that to serve Apple Talk I need to get netatalk server software. I don't think netatalk is on the Mandrake 8 Power Pack version CD's, is it?

Re: [newbie] Sources for RPMs
In your package manager you should add a security update site from the list. Note some sites are rather better than others. I use sunite.se which I find reliable. It takes a LONG time for the databases to synchronize (about 5 mins) so do not worry if nothing seems to happen. Once you have done that then pressing the 'Update' button will give you a list of security/bug fix/enhancement upgrades released by Mandrake for the 8.1 release. DO NOT upgrade your kernel using this method even if you see it in the list. There is a procedure for kernel upgrade on the Mandrake site. For upgrades which are not issued as a Mandrake update advisory such as the Evolution you mention then you could add a 'Cooker' source into your software Manager which will then show you ALL upgraded packages. I do not recommend that however because there will be literally hundreds of them, and some will not work because they have bugs, while others will have many dependencies which will cause you grief as a newbie. A better solution is to browse www.rpmfind.net for packages you are interested in. If you use konqueror then you can install a package simply by clicking on it. If there are dependencies you will be informed and the upgrade will be terminated. Many packages you see will be Cooker ones, which may have too many dependencies for your taste. In this case try looking at some other sites where you may find upgraded packages especially built for the 8.1 libraries. One of my favourites is Texstar's site at www.pclinuxonline.com Tex builds RPM's of applications and puts them up on his Eastwind ftp site. They are first class and will always work with a standard 8.1 system.

Re: [newbie] Doubts with compiling an Ethernet pcmcia driver.
You do not need to compile anything. That driver is already included in your Mandrake 8.1 distribution. If it was not autodetected during installation then this is what you do. Using a text editor as user root open the file /etc/sysconfig/pcmcia The first line of the file should read PCMCIA=yes the second line should be PCIC=i82365 (probably) On your next boot it should then autodetect the card. HardDrake should show it as a network card, and KDE control CentreInformation should show details of the PCMCIA interface. HTH derek On Monday 14 January 2002 03:00, Anuerin G.

The message file entries are like the following and there were a ton of them, i just included a few as samples: Jan 12 17:16:08 router kernel: auditIN=ppp0 OUT= MAC= SRC=209.58.110.227 DST=204.116.24.143 LEN=40 TOS=0x00 PREC=0x00 TTL=241 ID=64210 PROTO=TCP SPT=21 DPT=21 WINDOW=40 RES=0x00 SYN URGP=0 Jan 12 17:21:20 router kernel: auditIN=ppp0 OUT= MAC= SRC=212.194.119.109 DST=204.116.24.143 LEN=48 TOS=0x00 PREC=0x00 TTL=115 ID=37628 DF PROTO=TCP SPT=1647 DPT=21 WINDOW=16384 RES=0x00 SYN URGP=0 Jan 13 16:04:26 router kernel: auditIN=ppp0 OUT= MAC= SRC=203.69.167.151 DST=204.116.24.143 LEN=60 TOS=0x00 PREC=0x00 TTL=48 ID=21029 DF PROTO=TCP SPT=4289 DPT=111 WINDOW=32120 RES=0x00 SYN URGP=0 In /var/log/httpd/access_log I found several entries like the following, again just a sample have been included: 148.246.25.158 - - [12/Jan/2002:22:19:02 -0500] GET /default.ida?%u9090%u6858%ucbd3%u7801%u9090%u6858%ucbd3%u7801%u9090%u6858%ucbd3%u7801%u9090%u9090%u8190%u00c3%u0003%u8b00%u531b%u53ff%u0078%u%u00=a HTTP/1.0 400 347 - - 141.238.17.66 - - [13/Jan/2002:11:25:35 -0500] GET /default.ida?N NN NN N%u9090%u6858%ucbd3%u7801%u909 u6858%ucbd3%u7801%u9090%u6858%ucbd3%u7801%u9090%u9090%u8190%u00c3%u0003%u8b00% 31b%u53ff%u0078%u%u00=a HTTP/1.0 400 347 - - 66.82.52.10 - - [13/Jan/2002:16:03:32 -0500] GET /default.ida?NNN NN NN NNN%u9090%u6858%ucbd3%u7801%u9090% 858%ucbd3%u7801%u9090%u6858%ucbd3%u7801%u9090%u9090%u8190%u00c3%u0003%u8b00%u531b%u53ff%u0078%u%u00=a HTTP/1.0 400 347 - - Does anyone have any idea what these entries represent?

[newbie] Quick Software Manager Questions (3)
Hello, I just read Derek J.'s message about how to make Software Manager update its database so I can start browsing the list of packages on my cds or the web. I assume that this is done before looking at the cds so that any newer versions be found. So is the Software Manager smart enough to know that if I am looking at foobar 1.2.03-3 on cd#4 and foobar 1.4..07-5 is available through the update to tell me this or somehow stop me from installing an old (but newer than what is already installed) version from the cds? Also is it smart enough not to let me install either version of foobar if foobar 2.0.2 is already installed (or at least warn me that I'm about to go backwards)? I have looked at the cds a little bit in the last couple of days and would like to try the update but want to know for sure I understand how it is going to behave (or not). Last question: I know not to try to update my kernel using this method. Are there any other files/programs that I can't update with the Software Manager or warnings such as not updating the desktop I'm currently logged into? I believe I read that it doesn't actually count until the file in question is reloaded (as in a reboot) but am not sure. -- Wes Gregg [EMAIL PROTECTED] Registered Linux User # 252649 Want to buy your Pack or Services from MandrakeSoft?

RE: [newbie] Kernel update question [How to]
Running the RPM -ivh did add the new kernel's boot info to the bottom of lilo.conf, and it included the read-only directive. If/when I decide the move solely to the new kernel and nix the old kernel, should I remove this directive? The default boot info does not include this.

After installing your kernel with # rpm -ivh kernel-2.4.x-xmdk.i586.rpm look in /boot where your new vmlinuz/images will have been installed. Sometimes the new kernel installation adds the new kernel vmlinuz (boot image) to /etc/lilo.conf for you (usually at the bottom of the file). If it has not already been added for you, add it yourself. For example when I installed a new kernel (2.4.16.3mdk-1-1mdkenterprise) I added: image=/boot/vmlinuz-2.4.16.3mdk-1-1mdkenterprise label=24163-1-1mdkent root=/dev/hda5 read-only optional vga=normal append= hdc=ide-scsi hdd=ide-scsi devfs=nomount mem=1152M You can use similar parameters to your existing kernel listing in the lilo.conf file. The label can be anything you like so that you can identify it when lilo gives you the option at boot. If you want to make the new kernel your default to boot, just change the default= (near the top of the file) to your new kernel label. After saving the file, you must run lilo for changes to take effect. In a terminal as root: # lilo or # /sbin/lilo Then reboot and enjoy! skinky -- oxymoron: Microsoft Works Want to buy your Pack or Services from MandrakeSoft? Go to http://www.mandrakestore.com
[newbie] Linux and Disk Managers
Hi, I am having a problem getting Lilo to work on my machine. I have a motherboard with an old 1996 bios that doesn't support hard disks larger than 8.4 gig. Maxtor's MaxBlast disk manger software provides an extension to the bios code to allow my 20 gig drive to work. I have tried to install Mandrake 8.1 several times always with the same result: When I reboot, LIL is printed to the screen then it hangs. When I first installed MaxBlast, I allowed it to partition the drive. When I tried to install Linux the disk partitioning software got confused and trashed the whole partition table. I thought that perhaps Linux didn't like the way MaxBlast created the partitions so I used a Win98 boot disk and fdisk to create the two Windows partitions. Tried to install Linux again today and still get the LIL thing. Is there a way around this? Thanks, Larry Want to buy your Pack or Services from MandrakeSoft? Go to http://www.mandrakestore.com

I mean, how do you make it run ? Off a floppy? Does it add any info to your bios? Does it come before your harddisk boots ? - Have you tried using a system disk to boot mandrake? - Have you tried using loadlin to boot linux from a dos system ? loadlin vmlinuz root=/dev/hda5 for example, and you must have a kernel in that partition, I assumed its name is vmlinuz, and hda5 is your / partition. - Do you have your linux kernel, I mean the boot partition at least, within the first 8 GB ? - Is your hard disk set to LBA or normal mode in your bios ?

Using fdisk /MBR or even formatting the entire drive Will Not Remove ez-drive. It Must be uninstalled. Renun MaxBlast, in the Advanced setup or config there should be an option for uninstalling ez-drive. You can then install 8.1 which can see the whole drive without relying on the BIOS.

FW: [newbie] Cdrom supermount
I had the same problems and found some work-arounds (not real fixes): 1. Download the initscripts RPM from the MandrakeUpdate *bug fixes* section. It mentions that supermount init scripts were miscoded. This won't fix all of supermount's problems, however. Hopefully, 8.2 will do that. 2. 8.1 changes your CD device name from cdrom to cdrom0 and the links between the two are buggy. No matter how many times I fix the cdrom link, some script somewhere returns the buggy one. 3. fscd (the file name of CD Player in KDE) lists your CD player as /dev/cdrom in its options dialog box. On my machine, CD Player would crash every time I tried to change this option from within the CD Player program. I checked in DrakeHard (or HardDrake?) and saw that my Cd was named /dev/hdc. So, I found the config file for kscd (can't recall now where it was ... I'm not at that machine right now... used the find function and searched for *kscd*) and used an editor to change the device name, by hand, from /dev/cdrom to /dev/hdc. Rebooted the machine and... the angels were singing! 4. Grip, another CD player, needs options set on the command that starts it. Use the KDE menu editor to locate Grip so that you can see the properties of the startup icon (icons that fly out of the K menu won't let you see properties). Add -d /dev/hdc (or whatever your CD is called in HardDrake) to the start-up line for Grip, save and reboot. It should work, too. Problems seems to lie with device names and links between them.

[newbie] Wine
Hi Group, I have LM version 8.1 installed this last week and choose to install the wine package. However, I am unable to figure out how to get it working... It seems that the fake windows directory structure is already in place for me at /var/lib/wine. I switched to su and copied an application to the wine directory (sol.exe from a Windows 98SE machine). Then, I switched back to my regular user and typed wine c:\sol.exe. A lot of text was on the screen related to fonts. Then, the last failure was an exception error and that was it. Sorry for not producing a better report. I found the configuration file in my ~/.wine directory. But, I am a little confused as to if there is something already setup (or not). I mean is there an environment setting already associated with this file. Do I need to move it? I am pretty green when it comes to Linux after a couple of years vacation from it... Is there any How-Tos for setting up wine with the preconfigured Linux Mandrake install. Or, is there a better method in general. Thanks, Joe Want to buy your Pack or Services from MandrakeSoft?

My MDK8.1 have informed me that may ehternet card (pcmcia) is an Asix AX88190 Fast Ehternet card. I have MDK installed on toshiba notebook. After going to Asix Corp web site I got the linux driver for it. The package consists on 2 scripts, readme.txt, pcnet_cs.c (C source file) and other crazy file. The readme.txt is very strange to a Linux newbie, and (in realy) I don't know what to do with these files. I suppose that after compiling something, something should apear at DrakNet combobox (at ehternet kernel module) and the only thing to do is select it, but the things don't happen like this. Can any one help me with this ? I realy apreciate some clue. Thanks in advance. Marcos.

Re: [newbie] USB Scanner not seen
I was reading up on this myself. Andy's right in that the 1650 does work, but the 1250 does not because it doesn't use the Epson scanner language like the rest do.

Apparently I was wrong. I have an Epson Perfection 1650 USB scanner chosen partially because it is supported by SANE under Linux. I am running Mandrake 8.1 which has USB support. But the scanner does not show up in /dev/usb, though usbview shows it as present. And, of course, it doesn't show up --- nothing does --- in sane-find-scanner run as root.

[newbie] PCMCIA ethernet card: eth0 not getting initialized at boot time...
Hi all, I have this small problem. I have a Micronet 10Mbps pcmcia ethernet card. It got recognized during installation. But now, it doesn't get the card module connected to eth0. If I do ifup eth0, then all is well. I just would like to have the card initialized correctly at boot time instead of always having to su and ifup the card... I remember when I installed LM 8.1 (I'm now using a cooker snapshot on that laptop) that I was connected to the network and this problem didn't appear and in this installation, it wasn't connected and voila, we have this problem. If somebody knows the exact reason, please let me know. I guess it hasn't anything to do with cooker because I had the same problem with LM 8.0 and after reinstaling (with the network up) all was magically OK again...

[newbie] printing from MacOS to a Linux server
Hello (Last one for today) I have installed a Linux server for about 10 clients. There is a printer connected to it with the parallel port (an inkjet printer). I have installed appletalk (netatalk) which runs fine. When I run nbplkup, 3 zones are shown. Don't ask me why, but most of the machines here show 3 zones, so I assume it's normal. I still cannot see the printer from the client machine. I found many pages explaining how to do for the server side, but close to nothing about what I should do from the client. Am I supposed to see the printer in the chooser on MacOS9, or with the printer tool in MacOS X? I forgot to mention that CUPS runs. Can anybody figure out what I have missed?

[newbie] Case Sensativity on web pages

Thanks on advance -- Want to buy your Pack or Services from MandrakeSoft? Go to http://www.mandrakestore.com remove the linux disk and connect the new disk, install windblows onto that. Then connect the win disk as primary slave or secondary master/slave and put your linux disk back to where it was. boot up linux and change your /etc/fstab file so that you can mount your windows partition in linux. I don't really think that this is necessary, but do it anyway. now assuming you use LILO, modify the /etc/lilo.conf file to point to your windows disk, add the foll lines: other=/dev/hdXX optional label=dos next run /sbin/lilo, reboot and when prompted enter dos and hope for the best. hdXX is your windblows harddisk, it could be hdb, hdb1, hdc etc. depending on where your windblows disk is connected. NOTE!! i have never done this before myself. and what i said seems to make sense to me, but i cannot be sure. so please be carefull and backup any impotant data before.

Re: [newbie] Correct md5sums after burning a CD?
Randy Kramer wrote: I've checked the md5sums after downloading, and also after burning (using md5sum /dev/cdroms/cdrom1), but after burning the md5sums can be different (for various reasons) without necessarily indicating a problem. I burn my cds under Windows using Adaptec Easy CD Creator Deluxe, version 3.5c. Before burning the cd's you run the MD5 on an ISO image file. After burning the cd's you are running MD5 on some of the files () on the cd. These should be different. If you really want to check, after burning the cd, extract the iso image from it, and run MD5 on that iso. Then compare with the MD5 of original iso. These in my opinion must be same.

[newbie] CDPlayer - cdrom2 no disc
My cdwriter is /dev/cdrom, and my CDROM is /ev/cdrom2. I can play audio cd's, using CDPlayer in KDE, using only cdrom. If I change the preferences in the CDPlayer to /dev/cdrom2, I get ejected - no disc. (I've also tried it Gnome -- same thing.) However, I can start and play the audio cd (and it plays but still shows no disc) by pushing the external forward button on the machine. This doesn't seem normal. Is there anyway I can get the software to recognize the drive, and get it to play? Permissions are correct, and cdrom2 has abeen added to my group.

[newbie] KPrint: cannot change default A4 paper size
Ever since I've installed LM8.0, I've had this problem - no matter what I change it always defaults to A4 -- aargh!. During the support period, they told me it was a bug. I'm using cups 1.1.7-11 mdk. Have any else had this problem? Is it cups that causes the problem, or qtcups the interface? I'm wondering whether it might be because I'm still using the standard KDE 2.1.2. Would an upgrade to KDE 2.2.2 help? Anyone have any ideas what I should upgrade to get rid of this very annoying bug? Tia, Andre -- Please pray the Holy Rosary to end the holocaust of abortion.

Go figure. K so.. New question! (Right i see you're all scared now. Good!) I went into the Security tab in Control Centre. On install of Man. 8 or 8.1 the security setting always goes to Welcome to crackers! Yet i've changed it numerous times to Medium, as soon as i logout/in, it goes back to Welcome.. K so what the hell am i doing wrong...or rather wtf is Man. 8x doing !??? Well, the security level variable that is used to display security level is not being properly set when you enter the routine. If you want to check the security level, do this printenv | grep SECURE_LEVEL 0 is Welcome to Crackers 1 is Poor 2 is low 3 is medium 4 is high 5 is paranoid I also configured the little firewall utility in the Security panel. IS that Bastille's firewall!? Yes, with default settings If not, where do i find their utility? I did install it... bastille-netfilter status (as root) Final Question (ya i'm full of them), I had found a driver for my MS Trackball Explorer. My HDD crashed a while back lost the bookmark *B HISSS to windows :(*. I have yet to be able to re-find the driver. Learn to use bookmarks :-) Any idea where i can look? I wanted it b/c i have a 4 button trackball (5 if you include pressing the wheel) and Man.8x doesn't use all the buttons. It tends to dupe the functions on some of the other buttons. Help?
