Take a look in the Mandrake Control Centerhardware and look at unknown/other and see if the webcam is listed. Mine shows up as a Xirlink Inc. C-it WebCam.

HTH OK, in continuing troubleshooting this problem I've been having getting my webcam going, I ran in a console, as root, tail -f /var/log/messages. I then plugged my webcam into the USB port, and it told me that no driver claimed the device. OK, so probably not going to be able to get that cam going, no big deal. But, watching the messages scroll by I saw two things that got my attention: Feb 17 16:05:55 slammingrooves sensord: Sensor alarm: Chip via686a-isa-6000: CPU core: +1.73 V (min = +1.98 V, max = +2.49 V) [ALARM] followed by: Feb 17 16:05:55 slammingrooves sensord: Sensor alarm Chip via686a-isa-6000: CPU Fan: 2934 RPM (min = 3000 RPM, div = 2) [ALARM] Now, I have the sensor output showing in gkrellm, and the fan speed is virtually always at 2990 rpm. The temp will occasionally go as high as 42, but is usually around 39, where it is right now. Are either of these warnings something I should be concerned about? I've no experience with this kind of thing, and I understand the temp reading is usually ballpark, at best, but what about that CPU core voltage? Am I within acceptable guidelines (sensor alarms notwithstanding), or should I be worried about this? Thanks... Roger, I think the alarm is showing because your readout is below the minimums set in the sensor config. I use ksensors and have had to reduce the minimums to reset the alarm for lowvoltage and low rpms. HTH Right, I figured that part, but what I really want to know is, should I be worried about the amounts showing, especially with the voltage? I have no problem ignoring the message so long as I know that I'm not powering the CPU incorrectly. -- peace, Rog http://www.slammingrooves.com Want to buy your Pack or Services from MandrakeSoft?

Re: [newbie] LimeWire Problems
Hi, Miark is right. I am just being a bit more elaborate. It could be an issue of the version of your java executable or it could be that your java is not in your PATH. On Tuesday 18 February 2003 00:57, Miark wrote: Which Java is installed? I think you need the j2re for it to work, which you can download from MandrakeClub. According to the Limewire website, you need at least 1.3.1 (JRE) installed. You can get the JRE from club and also from the Sun web site at: http://java.sun.com/j2se/1.4/jre/ Java needs to be in your PATH so if you type java -version in a terminal you should get something like this: java version 1.4.1_01 Java(TM) 2 Runtime Environment, Standard Edition (build 1.4.1_01-b01) Java HotSpot(TM) Client VM (build 1.4.1_01-b01, mixed mode) To get the java executable in your PATH, you need to add the line: export PATH=/path/to/java/bin:$PATH either in the file .bashrc in your $HOME directory (for this user alone) or in /etc/bashrc (for all users) You then start Limewire with: java -jar /path/to/LimeWire.jar That worked for me, good night. b.

You might try right-clicking on Properties on your cdrom icon to double-check the settings. Over here, I don't see anything wrong, and I installed 3.1 sometime ago. FWIW, I do get a popup box about not being able to launch kfmexec, but konqueror does pop up witht cdrom's contents. In previous upgrades I've had to move the old .kde over and recreate a new .kde, but in the last upgrade I didn't do that and it seems to have kept all the previous settings. For me, it was a relatively clean upgrade. I could not get the cdroms to read no matter where I was, even as root. Permissions were there and fstab looked right just couldn't see anything on the cdroms. I ended up with such a mess that I reinstalled the whole system. Now I am back to having the updates and the -24 kernel and am d/ling the texstar 3.1 packages again. Lost the last batch somewhere. So, did you d/l everything including the devel packages?

The only reason I know why it wouldn't do so is when you have somewhere defined to use an empty password. Have a look into ~/.my.cnf resp. /etc/my.cnf (if either exists) and look for a line like password= Nope. No files... Regardless, you can force the command to ask you for a password by adding -p: mysql -u root -p mysql WAHO, asked for password. WAHO I am in. [root@rwideman2 root]# mysql -u mysql mysql ERROR 1044: Access denied for user: '@localhost' to database 'mysql' Of course, some arbitrary user is not allowed to access the database where the access rights are stored (named mysql). But at least, it let you login. Ye, i was thinkin the password just got totally corrupted then i couldnt do anything the link i had up had on it...nothing worked. [root@rwideman2 root]# mysql --user=mysql Welcome to the MySQL monitor. Commands end with ; or \g. Same as above, it let you login as user mysql, but you have no right to access the database mysql. This is my 2nd day (yesterday was my first) to mess with MySQLI am definitely on a learning curve with this. I tried the password editing options listed on http://www.mysql.com/doc/en/Access_denied.html and still cant fix it. That you have missed the part about --skip-grant-tables apparently? Nope, i tried it, nogo. That is to be expected. Removing MySQL will not remove any database (in order to protect you from data loss) and the access rights are stored in a database. So you are working on the same databases with the same privilege settings. I figured this but wasnt for sure. What do you mean by that? The database *files* should be under /var/lib/mysql. That you have some DB is obvious by the fact that you once managed to login (without any database, you would get something like could not find file 'host.frm as error). Meaning i did NOT create a DB or do ANYTHING except change the root password within MySQL. Its the learning curve kicking in... I tried to verify the files that were installed by: The commands and results you quoted already show that apparently MySQL is installed correctly. You just have problems to login for whatever reason. But see the suggestions above. Is there away to completely remove mysql files and start over? If you de-install MySQL (via rpm) and then also do /var/lib/mysql, /etc/my.cnf and ~/.my.cnf, you should got everything MySQL-related. MMM, will keep this in mind, but dont need it now.

Thanks for the help but you have told me to do this 3 times now, it didn't work the first time and it didn't work for the guy I mentioned from cooker either. I reinstalled beta 3 and it did not work again. Seems like there is a bit of a problem with Realtek network cards. Mine is a RTL 8139 but there is a guy on the cooker list with a RTL8129 with the same problem. The route for the gateway is setup eth0 is there everything seems fine. So it looks like this is a show stopper for beta 3 for me and anyone else with a realtek card. Yes I have done the acpi=off and so had he. It has been logged at bugzilla https://qa.mandrakesoft.com/show_bug.cgi?id=1566 so now it's wait and see.

It's not desperate - I got things working again, as I0 said, but I do like to know what's going on. Hmm. I haven't tried this in acroread specificallty but it happens in xpdf - but the Print seems only to transform the file from PDF into Postscript, and deposits a file of that type in /tmp, which I can then print. I noticed that when doing my taxes last week: I had to print some PDF docs (from the IRS, naturally). I'm currently trying to duplicate this situation - but I use KDE 3.1, and found a PDF doc to print. By rightclicking on the file, opening it in a background tab (way cool feature by the way) and then selecting print, I get the page out of the ptinter in a few seconds. Maybe there is a specific issue with Acroread. On the other hand, printing the PDF within Konqueror has been problematic and I've noticed difficulties with it in the past. Looks like it works in 3.1, but I haven't tried it in sometime. If that doesn't work, you might try converting the file to postscript manually using gs, and then printing the postscript file. Interesting. The thing is, though, that most of the time it prints OK, although sending a very large file seems to trigger this condition. As long as I keep the file no bigger than 100 pages it generally works OK, but once this has been triggered it happens every time until something 're-sets', at least a re-set is what it feels like. It seems that printing from some other app clears the bottleneck, whatever it is. Anne -- Registered Linux User No.293302 Want to buy your Pack or Services from MandrakeSoft?

[newbie] Modem Question
Hi All, Just a quick question on my modem for my laptop. It is detected by Mandrake (I'm using 9.0) as PCTEL 2304 WT V.92 MDC Modem. When my computer boots into Linux, I get a message saying that Device at 0:1f:6 is unavailable due to resource confliction and looking at my hardware list in the control center that device would be my integrated modem. I was wondering what, if anything, I have to do to resolve this confliction and if this modem is supported by Linux at all. Any help is appreciated, even if nothing can be done. Thanks in advance.

I've looked at: http://pcmcia-cs.sourceforge.net/ and I downloaded the file from: https://sourceforge.net/projects/pcmcia-cs/ but I don't know if I should start unpacking this file and compiling everything or if MDK has some way of setting it up. The system seems to know that something has happened when I plug it in, so maybe it's just a matter of loading modules into the kernel. I have no idea. Thanks for any info, -Noah No do not compile anything. Everything is already available. If you did not have a pcmcia adapter in your computer when you installed then you need to install pcmcia-cs which is already on your CDs. Just use your Mandrake Software Manager. You will also need to install wireless-tools RPM (from your CD) Next take a look at the file /etc/sysconfig/pcmcia and make sure it says PCMCIA=yes Now do a reboot with your card plugged in and you should hear some 'beeps' when the Pcmcia slot is activated. Now just go through the networking wizard in Mandrake Control Centre, and hopefully it will detetct your card type and offer you the wireless parameters to set up. The important ones are :- MODE Managed or Ad-Hoc ESSID to match your network RATE 11M KEY your encryption key either in Hex as 11:22:33:44:55 , or in ascii as s:mykey You did not actually say what type if card you have. So we will have to guess if it is a supported model. If it does not work type dmesg in a terminal and look for the setup messages for the pcmcia slot.

First it should be said that there are currently very few viruses that can affect a linux distribution, so from that point of view you probably don't need one. The majority of viruses in the wild exploit vulnerabilities in M$ software and/or operating system. The main reason for installing one under linux is to prevent infected mail/downloads coming in, then being relayed to unprotected windows machines. If this is your concern I can recommend Kaspersky - I use their software on all our windows machines. It is not free software, but you get a full year's worth of signature updates, which are updated daily if you require that level of protection, and support if you ever run into trouble either with the software or a new virus.

The other solution would be to make sure there is only one program called java in your PATH. You definitely need Sun's j2re for it to work, and it won't work if you have kaffe installed as well. You could work with Kaffe and have the rt.jar or classes.jar in your Java Classpath (=the PATH for java). Kaffe is fine - they just do not have the framework, it is only a runtime.

done that, still no response to ping from 192.168.254.17. To avoid problem with my hub I used a crossover cable to plug directly both machine running 100Mps NICs.

Re: Re: [newbie] Ethernet Interface
It sometimes happens that the autonegotiation used by Ethernet devices to select 10/100Mbps, half/full duplex fails. In this case you can force the interface to a particular mode. The driver used for your card should be 8139too (you can confirm this by looking at the file /etc/modules.conf one line should read alias eth0 8139too ) There is a tool available which can set the mode of your interface. Install the net-tools RPM from your Mandrake CDs using Software Manager. (TIP: enter 'urpmi net-tools' in a root terminal for a faster way to install software) Then try mii-tool in a root terminal to see if that can read the card status. To force 10Mbps operation half duplex (normally needed with a hub) mii-tool --force=10baseT-HD eth0 These settings will not survive a reboot, so if they fix your problem let me know and I will show you how to make them permanent.

[newbie] FPSE2k2 - Apache help..
Hi all, A couple things I'd like to ask for some help or pointers to thorough documentation on.. I'm lost on so many levels right now concerning FPSE's and Apache.. I decided I was going to learn how to build websites through Frontpage as something amusing to do on the side, and to help out a friend on maintaining already built sites. I have Apache installed on MdK 9 just fine, and I can publish with FP2k2 and access the sites just fine from other machines. No big deal so far..here's where my questions begin. 1) Upgrading Apache. I downloaded a newer version of Apache and followed the instructions..or did I? Where does Apache live on a stock install of MDK9? If I point it to anywhere it doesn't matter, the scripts finish fine and say it was successful, but when I run a http -v it still tells me 1.3.26 and NOT the version I was hoping it had upgraded to. 2) Frontpage Server Extensions. What a pain. (to me) Again here's a question of where does what live at default? But with this one I actually managed to point it to the correct httpd somehow, but this also involves DOWNGRADING the current version which I would prefer to avoid. I can start the install, go through the configuration, but at the very end where it asks for the user and group so it can chmod it errors out saying there is no active local server on 8080, it fails out, I run a httpd -v and it shows me the version the FPSE downgraded it to. So to sum it up.. How would I PROPERLY upgrade Apache? Where does it live? /etc/httpd ? How do I PROPERLY install the FPSE's and KEEP the current version of Apache that I am running and not have this error out on me during the config? ANY help would be greatly appreciated, and I will be glad to do whatever to clarify issues further if someone does deem me worthy to help ;p Robert Want to buy your Pack or Services from MandrakeSoft?

When I look at the logs it seems that md.o is unable to be insmod'ed. I know that using a RAID Mirror as the root file system isnt the best approach. But due to hardware constraints I am forced to do this. I checked in the mailling list archives and I found a bug in the cooker archives but nothing was said. Is there any idea's anyone has?

Re: Re: [newbie] Ethernet Interface
OK...Some random thoughts You have 2 NICS. Are you sure you are configuring the correct one? Could eth1 be the device to use? Your NIC is on irq5 is anything else using irq5 ? An Interrupt conflict can cause funny things to happen. (KDE ControlCentreInformationInterrupts will show you) If there is a conflict, play with your BIOS settings or move the card to a different slot (if it is not built in) Disabling unused devices in the BIOS will also cause Interrupt lines to be be reconfigured. Also set the BIOS parameter PnpAwareOS=No What do you see if you type 'route' in a root terminal? Is the default route set up to use that interface? If not then delete the current default route with 'route del default' and create a new one with 'route add default dev eth0' HTH derek On Tuesday 18 Feb 2003 5:29 pm, [EMAIL PROTECTED] wrote: I followed your instructions and the card is now set to 10Mps half duplex but i still can't ping the other machine.

Install the net-tools RPM from your Mandrake CDs using Software Manager.

When my computer boots into Linux, I get a message saying that Device at 0:1f:6 is unavailable due to resource confliction and looking at my hardware list in the control center that device would be my integrated modem. I was wondering what, if anything, I have to do to resolve this confliction and if this modem is supported by Linux at all. Any help is appreciated, even if nothing can be done. Thanks in advance. Matt First thing to do is to look at the actual specs on your modem - the chipset might be PCTEL, but there might be another controlling chip on board - either which, there are many drivers (3d party) that you might be able to give a go at - one place to check would be at: http://www.linmodems.org/ You might not be able to locate a Mandrake specific package (RPM), but you might be able to get some source code to compile - which can be tricky, but most integrated modems - either Rockwell or PCTel can be made to work - and sometimes made to work better under linux than under Windows. See what kind of specs you can dig up on the modem, check the site above, get all the possible details together that you can, then see where we can go from there!

If you are sitting on the local machine when you're sending, you can set the outbound as SENDMAIL (in most programs) and then POSTFIX will send it out generally without a hitch. Now if you're on a machine on your network, and need to send mail out, you're going to have to do some configuration to your POSTFIX server in order to allow for relaying the mail - but that's not hard either. In th POSTFIX configuration, under SMTP Server Options, you can set Allow untrusted routing to yes - which should then allow any client on your network to pass mail though the SMTP server - and should also work on the email client on the local machine.

For most of us - MOST of us, having a swap file that exceeds the size of the physical RAM is useless and pointless. Unless you're doing really high end stuff that requires large amounts of TEMP and SWAP space. Burning DVD's and whatnot might be easier - but that's also dependent on how the program was written; if the program was written to require large amounts of swap/temp - but most of them really aren't. Using like Cinelerra, for instance, you WILL use large amounts of TEMP and SWAP - so having large sized partitions will get you faster and possibly cleaner results. But overall, the common linux geek, er, user, isn't going to require anything more than the size of their physical RAM - even the ones that download large amounts of porno movies and pictures - it ain't going to speed up their picture viewers or movie players very much.

Re: [newbie] PCMCIA wireless card

[newbie] KDE 3.1's keyboard settings :o?
Ummm.. I'm having a bit of a problem with my recently installed KDE 3.1 from texstar. I can't print letters with accents with it! For example, i need to type an a with an accent (spanish chars) and after a rather long while experimenting with keyboard settings, language and deadkeys - nodeadkeys stuff, i still can't get KDE to help me type my e-mails correctly. I can type perfectly on a text terminal outside of X, i can do it also on Gnome, but KDE, all i get it to do is to print the accent like it's a character of it's own: ´´´ i need letters under those! Any help would be greatly appreciated. Damian PS: yeah, i know if it ain't broken, don't fix it.
