[newbie] Mandrake Software Services updates and getting booted from a Mirror Site
05/31/03 Hello All, No problem here, just an bit of good news. Was suggested that I post this to the list for your encouragement and edification. Or whatever floats your boat!:) [prev]--- Last night I got Mandrake set up to do Security, Bug Fixes, and Normal updates. I then asked for everything to be installed, something like 258MB of files. I'm on a 56Kbs modem, so I went to bed. This morning it looks like the mirror site had booted me just before the updates would have finished. I was wondering if Mandrake had the sense to be able to find the files that had been downloaded so they could be installed, or if it was dumb and would re-download the files. Mandrake has sense. I'm going through the Mandrake Update panel and selecting each file to be updated singly. If the file is on my computer somewhere, Mandrake is performing the update. What a relief. I was afraid I'd lost 9+ hours of downloading. I was nearly through the Ghostscript update (a big file) when I was bumped. If Mandrake is really smart, it should continue the download from the place where it left off. I don't have time this morning to find out, but when I get back from work later today we'll see. [end prev] Haven't gone to work yet (catch up day), so here's the final update on this. Mandrake is smart; but not a genius. I had to download the entire Ghostscript file again. It's OK. The download and upgrade went smoothly. The Penguin Liberation Front (PLF) has an excellent FAQ at http://plf.zarb.org/faq.html On that page take the link to 'James Robinson's urpmi documentation (English)' and read/print it.

Re: [newbie] BlueYonder
quoting Len Lawrence's missive of Friday 30 May 2003 11:19 pm: whack All that is very encouraging. Mandrake is smarter than any version of Windows, more configurable after the fact, and you can count on the people here to help more than you ever could any Windows forum/list/user news group. Right? Right on. Just as an aside that 2.0MB service seems to be about equivalent to what my ISP here calls Shaw Lite which denotes a lower bandwidth service roughly equal to what's available from the phone company for aDSL at the same (roughly +/- $5) price of CDN$29.95 per month. 1.5 MB download, 756 KB upload speeds. The regular cable or Shaw High Speed Internet is rated at 8.0 MB down and 1.5 MB up. The cost is CDN$42.95 per month, or that plus digital cable for CDN$89.95. One must purchase the set top digital cable box for an additional CDN$89.95 for that though. Or (barf!) rent it monthly. I'm only comparing prices etc for the simple reason that I think you poor benighted souls in the U.K. pay far too much for service. Amongst other things. I'm also wondering when the provider here will start bundling telephone service as well. g I hope some of this helps you. It sure does Charlie. Will go right ahead and order the service.

An updated urpmi fixes it. I did update all of 9.0 before this. It seems as though 9.0 is disappearing. How would I update to 9.1? Is that a good idea, since I've installed quite a lot of stuff, and done a lot of customizing? Updating to 9.1 is real easy. Just grab a download edition (if you have broadband) and reinstall over your 9.0 but do not format your /home partition and then you will not lose any of your data or personal configuration. The system configuration in the /etc folder would be lost, but if you save your old /etc somewhere in your /home you can refer to it later when rebuilding your system. The alternative is to select 'upgrade' from the 9.1 install CD, but while upgrade is a lot more stable than it used to be, a lot of people do not trust it and prefer to reinstall. BTW: The download edition is not inferior to the Powerpack in any way. It is the same as the first 3 CDs of the Powerpack, and the applications on the other CDs are available on line, or through the Club. DJ Club membership is a way for those users who want to show their DJ appreciation for the distro to contribute something, and get a few DJ benefits in return. I'll probably join after this settles down. :-) DJ Make urpmi sources for update, contrib, and plf Then optionally DJ make sources for texstar,Club, unsupported/MandrakeClub Any suggestions for where these are(the command line?)? I found the command line for update, club, and plf, but not the others. If you look at the file structure of any mirror you will find unsupported inside mandrake-devel. Then refer to 'man urpmi.addmedia' to work out the command to use. derek -- -- www.jennings.homelinux.net Want to buy your Pack or Services from MandrakeSoft? Go to http://www.mandrakestore.com

First, it is quite possible that the cd size would show something bigger if it is using 1000K per MB instead of the proper 1024. Second, to make sure the iso is good before you try to download it again, there is a file on the mirror called md5sum. in there is a checksum from a program called md5sum. You can get a copy of this utility free on the Internet and use it against your iso. then compare the output from your iso to the file from the mirro. If they match, your iso is good.

I can't buy the SanDisk reader I referred to earlier because I need to buy this with an amazon.com gift certificate and I can't buy anything offered through Office Depot :(. Anyway, I found a reader offered by SimpleTech that says its mass storage compliant. I can't find any reports about this particular reader and linux. Does mass storage compliant = linux compatible?

Rich is correct: Cable uses broadcast requests that are sent out ever few seconds to all comps on the Node that your neighbourhood is being served by thru the ISP you use. Think of it as party line telephones. You can tap into any such request figure out what everyone on the node is looking at on their comp. Some will be SETI requests, others for porn sites, still others MSN / ICQ chats...etc. Ethereal proggies like it will just tell you what is being broadcast and unless set correctly, won't give you destination IP's. Or it will give a destination IP and you can figure out which house it is from there. Its one of the downfalls of cable if you're a smart dooby with time on your hands: Its not nearly as difficult to crack as DSL can be with teh correct protocols in place. Not to say DSL is secure but its better in some ways. Oh Btw: the IP's doing the ARP request do seem to be coming from the same IP range, 24.xxx.xxx.xxx, mainly 24.118.xxx.xxx and 24.245.xxx.xxx. Thats your NODE for your neighbourhood. the 24.xxx is the actuall ISP's Block Node (given from their Tier 2 or 3 connection, usually AT T or MetroNet or UUNet). 24.118.xxx is the block node for very likely your geographic regional area. IE: Langley, Virginia. The next octet is your specic Local geo area IN Langley itself. IE: a suburb inside Langley. The last 3 are specific to your neighbourhood, with the last 1-2 numbers being for your house + the next one beside you usually. Sometimes just your own house gets 2 last numbers cause no one beside you has cable. Yeah, I thought it was no big deal. But at one time (with my old IP) I was able to look up at the cable modem and see how busy the network is (kinda both, internal and external networks) but now, forget it!

If it is one of those DSL modem cards that one installs on the computer, well, that can be a can of worms. Give us a little more info, and we can help a lot.

Mandrake Linux Security Update Advisory Package name: apache2 Advisory ID:MDKSA-2003:063 Date: May 30th, 2003 Affected versions: 9.1 Problem Description: Two vulnerabilities were discovered in the Apache web server that affect all 2.x versions prior to 2.0.46. The first, discovered by John Hughes, is a build system problem that allows remote attackers to prevent access to authenticated content when a threaded server is used. This only affects versions of Apache compiled with threaded server httpd.worker, which is not the default for Mandrake Linux. The second vulnerability, discovered by iDefense, allows remote attackers to cause a DoS (Denial of Service) condition and may also allow the execution of arbitrary code. The provided packages include back-ported fixes to correct these vulnerabilities and MandrakeSoft encourages all users to upgrade immediately.

Re: [newbie] ARTICLE: Microsoft to license UNIX code
Michael, I am almost at the top of the hill stage. She realises all of what you have mentioned. The genealogical software she uses isn't available on Linux. She has certainly been talking about wanting to use linux. This was one of my genealogically deprived spouses problems as well. We'd been using PAF, but have since gotten used to GRAMPS under ML9.1 and it's getting better. It's free, the author is always ready and willing to help, fix, patch or whatever is needed. You would have to use the ML9.1 rpm for this as the one from the gramps site wasn't compiled to use 9.1 properly. Their still catching up. At least get it installed and use both for a while and see how she likes it. It's all my wife uses now.

It's the long squarish thingee that if you press the little button, the tray magically slides out and can comfortably hold either a coffee cup or an ice cream cone. Works wonders with ice cream cones as long as you don't hit the little button again. It takes ages to get the bits of cone out of the cup tray. Yeah, but I've got 2 cupholders here. How can I use both without the top one knocking my Michelob off when its sitting on the bottom one?:-) (or should I use the top one for drinks and the bottom one for sandwiches/snacks?) -- /\ DarkLord \/ Want to buy your Pack or Services from MandrakeSoft?
