[newbie] Browsing Symbian phone (A1000) Kbluetooth a'la Motorola suite
Has anyone had luck browsing a phone like this? I can see OBEX Object push but I don't seem to have the (kioslave I think??) service to allow me to view the directory structure of the phone via Kbluetooth. I can search for the phone and find it. I can check services and find a few, but none that allow me to view the drives and directories and up/download files a'la the Motorola Suite for Windows. Anyone have any luck with this?

[newbie] USB Mouse problem
Maybe if I try asking one question per email. Like others, my USB mouse never works when I boot MDK. I have to log on using keyboard only, then use Cursor keys and enter and tab to change the mouse to something else, eg PS2 then I can change it back to PS2/USB and everything is fine. Next time I boot up, it is broken again. Tried changing /etc/X11/XF86Config by hand to /dev/input/mice but that does nothing. Tested all in root and in normal user mode (which asks for root password when I start mcc) but no help. Just have to set it again each time I start up.

[newbie] Log Off/Reboot/Halt
When I want to log off, the only option I have is LOG OFF. There's no Reboot or Halt option. Randomly (it seems) I get the dragon log off/reboot/halt menu, but not very often. I can go into the settings and set SHUTDOWN to EVERYONE (after logging back in as root. That is, log off, log in as root, set it to EVERYONE, log out). I can select REBOOT but I get a blank page appear with two buttons at the bottom of it (REBOOT and CANCEL iirc). Hitting REBOOT many times does nothing at all. I can hit CANCEL then HALT and that works. This happens every time I boot up. I have to go through it all over again cos MDK doesn't remember my settings.

Re: [newbie] USB Mouse problem
Rob.

I tried changing /etc/X11/XF86Config by hand too but it didn't work. The problem was produced because of the security level i put in the instalation. It's a bug. If this level was too high, the mouse didn't work. I know that it maybe sounds weird, but that's what happened to me. Now i am with the same Mandrake, the same PC, a lower security level and the mouse works fine. I hope it can help. Ivo. Worked perfectly during installation as you said..

[newbie] USB Mouse, Browser, Log on/Off, etc
Howdy. I've just installed 10.1 I've not used MDK before, but have experience with Solaris and FreeBSD. I'm trying to learn how MDK does everything via gui. Every time I boot my computer (whether as root or a normal user) my USB mouse doesn't work. I have to use TAB and cursor keys and ENTER to select a generic ps2 mouse then it works and I can select generic USB mouse. I tried editting /etc/X11/XF86Config and putting in /dev/input/mice but that doesn't help. Every time I exit and come back I have to set the mouse up again. #2: I'm guessing I can only set my default browser as root? Firefox asks me every time I start up. I would have thought it'd save it somewhere each user has access to so everyone can have their own default browser. #3: Log on/off I know where to enable this feature for EVERYONE in MCC, but if I start MCC as root or log onto it and enter the root password from a normal user account, it won't save it for future use. I have to do it every time. Randomly (it seems) I get the dragon log on/off menu. Most of the time even if I set it in MCC the only option I get is LOG OFF. From that menu I can select REBOOT or HALT. If I select REBOOT, I get a small blank window in the middle of the screen with two buttons (CANCEL and REBOOT iirc). Hitting REBOOT many times does nothing, but HALT will work. Kaffeine doesn't seem to like playing normal DVDs. I'm guessing this is just an encryption problem? It always errors out with the plugin not found error. AVI's on the hard drive work fine tho. Logging onto a Windows share. I can connect to my globally shared drive when I boot up, but I don't know how to configure MDK to mount my 'home drive' a'la the NETLOGON.BAT script which runs if I boot into Windows. Should I just fstab this mount or something? Thanks. Want to buy your Pack or Services from MandrakeSoft? Go to http://www.mandrakestore.com Join the Club : http://www.mandrakeclub.com

Re: [newbie] PHP commandline
Paul, I read a little of that article too. I believe it was from Linux Journal. IIRC, it stated that it was included by default if you compiled PHP by yourself. It went on to give a command you could issue (php -v, I believe) that would let you know whether or net CLI support was included. Hope that helps. Good luck.

[newbie] Full install with Mandrake 10?
Hey everyone! I wasn't able to find much on this in the archives, so I'll give it a shot here... We just got Mandrake 10 in our computer science lab. We were using Redhat 7, and Mandrake seems a whole lot better. My question is, how can I do a complete install of all packages? It does not seem like I am able to select everything during installation, even if I select the Select Individual Packages option. For instance, we need to use bind and the dhcp server for one of the classes and these packages can only be installed after everything else, via the mandrake control center or through an rpm. I mostly want to be able to install everything for experimental purposes and doing it all in one shot would be nice. Anyone have any insight into this? It would be appreciated!

[newbie] CD-RW device problem
Hello list, I have the following Cd burner: SONY CD-RW CRX160E It appears to be mounted fine as K3B and xcdroast can both see it. Unfortunately, both act as though there is no disc in it. Another symptom is when I am installing software from the CD's the software installer asks me to place the CD in /dev/hdc (which is the cdrom in question) when I do, it keeps asking me for it. A third similar symptom is when I place a CD in it that does have stuff on it and it will not read it or even place that cool automount icon on the desktop. If anyone knows of a way around this, I would appreciate the help. If you need more information, tell me where to find it and I will provide it. On a side note, this pc was upgraded from RedHat 8.0 and xcdroast worked just fine. Thanks, -Jason __ Do you Yahoo!? Yahoo!

Once you have loaded this, then you can type the command 'su'. This will ask you for a password. Type in you root password that you made when you installed Mandrake. Then, you can type 'urpmi program name' which will install the program, if it is in the urpmi database. Or, if you've downloaded an RPM from the internet, then you can type 'urpmi /path/to/downloadedRPM' which will install it. HTH, John Drouhard Oh, I see. So 'urmpi' is actually a command line tool that can only be executed by root. Is that correct? At least it works that way on my system. Thanks for the help, John.

[newbie] Problems installing libstdc++ library?
Hello Folks, First off, I'm running the latest and greatest Mandrake Linux 10.0 Official. I seem to be experiencing difficulty getting a library installed in /usr/lib. I downloaded AIM 1.5 for Linux and I cannot install it because I have an older libstdc++ libary in /usr/lib. When I try to install the AIM RPM package, I get a message saying this: aim-1.5.286-1.i386 cannot be installed due to unsatisfied libstdc++-libc6.1-1.so.2). Apparently I have an older version of this library. I tried downloading this version of the library and the system refuses to let me download directly to /usr/lib saying access is denied.

Use URPMI to install software If you try to install RPM packages built for other distros you will *very Quickly* fall into dependency hell. Virtually any package you might be interested in is available as a Mandrake Linux RPM package installable using urpmi. Urpmi sorts out all these dependency issues for you. To learn about urpmi read the section on the Twiki in my signature. urpmi uses software repositories where you can download literally thousands of packages. As it happens AIM is not one of them. One reason AIM is not available as a Mandrake package is because compared to other alternatives it is shite. If you want AOL instant messenger compatibility install gaim or kopete using your Software install GUI. They are miles better than AIM.

Re: [newbie] Adding entry to lilo.conf
Dunno if you had this answered yet or not, please see below: Trey Sizemore wrote: I currently have both Windows and Mandrake 10 RC-1 installed on my HD using lilo to dual boot. I have added Arch Linux 0.6 to the mix and want to be able to boot this from lilo. Before I hose something up, I just wanted to ask the correct way to add this to lilo. Is it as simple as adding an entry like 'image-/dev/hda9' and 'label=Arch' to my /etc/lilo.conf. If you are really a newbie (posted to this list) then don't edit it by hand. Use the Control Center to add the Lilo entry. At the end it will auto-run the Lilo binary to activate your changes. If I want to access the Arch drives from Mandrake, would I also need to add the entries to my fstab? Attached are my existing lilo.conf and fstab files. Also do this from MCC. It's as simple as defining the mount point and telling it to mount it. From then on it will be mounte dthere at boot. HTH Cheers Jason Want to buy your Pack or Services from MandrakeSoft?

Two questions: 1) How do I check to see what fixes have been installed? 2) When updates are installed is there another step necessary to build a new Kernel or does that happen automagically or do I not understand the process? (which is quite likely) The reason for this second question is I have a concern,that was also mentioned in another post, about booting from a kew kernel and not being able to fall back to the working one should something happen. mandrake will just add the kernel to the list if you download and install it via urpmi... do a google for easy urpmi and update the urpmi sources.. then type urpmi kernel it should bring up a newer kernel for you to install. then do the same thing typing urpmi kernel-source then when all done you can reboot and the new kernel will boot ... there is a list at lilo boot .. your old kernel will be at the bottom of the lit and probably say 2210 or something likethat .. an updated kernel is 2.4.22.21 i think so look for something arround that number. -- jason pearl [EMAIL PROTECTED] ++ Keep your friends close and your enemies closer-Tupac ++ Kurrupted Visionz Phx, AZregistered linux user #307811 MDK 9.2 LinuxMachine# 193475, 227341 AMD64 Opteron 1.6http://counter.li.org ASUS SK8N signature.asc Description: This is a digitally signed message part

Which gets me round to it... mencoder is heaps faster, and probably better quality than transcode. It is under heavy development also, with transcode only just ticking over. If you want gui though, you won't find anything else that holds a candle to dvd::rip. It kicks butt. Only vidomi is easier to use IMHO, and that is doze only. There are a couple of annoying things that dvd::rip does (or rather doesn't) do, but they are probably things that only I like when ripping, so I wouldn't sweat it. For me there isn't much of a choice but... In short, if you don't have a love affair with the CL, then dvd::rip is you choice. Cheers Anton Well, it's not that I've anything against the CL as such but a cursory glance at the manual shows transcode to be nearly 3000 lines long about 60 pages of intricate to learn text, I ain't about to assimulate that in an afternoon.

Do you mean that you can send mail from your Postfix server to your cox email account but not to anyone else? If so, do you get a bounce message or is your message refused when you send it or does it just not get received? If the ISP blocks outgoing port 25, you will send a message to an external address and it will just disappear. You can still send mail to local ISP accounts because port 25 traffic is only blocked at the router for outgoing traffic, internally, it still works. The local mail server accepts your mail because it recognizes that your IP is internal to its network, so it accepts the traffic. If that seems to be what is happening, then your outgoing port 25 is probably blocked. If your port 25 is open and you want to check it, simply try to telnet to port 25 of your external WAN IP address. If your postfix server responds, then port 25 is not blocked. I am pretty sure that you should NOT be using the cox mail server address. Any mail bound to your myvnc.com domain will not be recognized by the cox mail server and will be refused. If they have agreed to accept mail for your domain and let you download it from them, you should use their mail server. The MX record at no-ip.com needs to be the hostname of a mailserver. If you were using an external mail hosting service that collects your mail and then sends it to your machine, this is where you would put the name of that mail server hostname. Otherwise, I am pretty certain that you leave that blank. You can also set wildcards so that all requests to your domain are sent to the IP you have updated. So, www.no-ip.com, mail.no-ip.com, ftp.no-ip.com, etc. -- Bryan Phinney Software Test Engineer I never bet a bounce back and nobody can telnet to me even with my router port opened so i guess the outgoing 25 is blocked? so does that mean incoming is blocked also? -- jason pearl [EMAIL PROTECTED] ++ Keep your friends close and your enemies closer-Tupac ++ Kurrupted Visionz Phx, AZregistered linux user #307811 MDK 9.2 LinuxMachine# 193475, 227341 AMD64 Opteron 1.6http://counter.li.org ASUS SK8N uptime: 10:15:52 up 3 days, 15:37, 3 users, load average: 0.07, 0.02, 0.00 pgp0.pgp Description: PGP signature

I would rather have my own mail server then to use cox cable. thanks Depends on how much you want to depend on it. I don't pay extra and mail that is bound for my dynamic domain name gets sent to my current IP address where my router sends it on to the mail server which is configured to accept mail for my dynamic domain name. If the mail bound for my mail server is not for a real local user, the connection gets rejected and dropped and I get a notification that someone tried to relay mail through my server. However, as someone on the expert list pointed out earlier, there is some risk involved in running a mail server off of a dynamic IP address. If someone else that is running a mail server inherits your IP address before the dynamic DNS service gets the new IP and they happen to be running an SMTP server that is configured to accept mail for all domains regardless of where it is bound or who the message is to, they will intercept your mail. I don't worry about that because the only people using my domain are family members and all of our mail is PGP encrypted. Even if you intercepted some of the messages, you couldn't decrypt them so they would be useless to you. However, it is something to consider. -- Bryan Phinney Software Test Engineer Where is a good place to look on info on setting this up... i have choices for forwarding mail or a mail reflector.. i know port 25 is blocked by my isp. im assuming its just inbound that is blocked.

I am using XOSL as my boot loader which come with Ranish partition manager and i can install windows2k on the third partition while the first two partitions are FAT or NTFS! I however do not use hidden fat (it may work though, but i don´t remember what was the problem). I record the first two partitions as linux type using RPM even though they are windows type! This way is guaranteed to work for me. Windows98 is older and i think hiding FAT partitions is very likely to work.

I just got mine setup after searching for clues on how to setup a remote printer correctly. -- jason pearl [EMAIL PROTECTED] ++ Keep your friends close and your enemies closer-Tupac ++ Kurrupted Visionz Phx, AZregistered linux user #307811 MDK 9.2 LinuxMachine# 193475, 227341 AMD64 Opteron 1.6http://counter.li.org ASUS SK8N 23:25:10 up 2:07, 2 users, load average: 0.00, 0.01, 0.07 pgp0.pgp Description: PGP signature
Re: [newbie] Having trouble upgrading to kernel-2.4.22.26mdk

Following the instructions on mandrakesecure.net, I first upgraded bootloader-utils to bootloader-utils-1.6-3.1.92mdk, which, seems to install fine. Then, I attempt to install kernel-2.4.22.26mdk and get this error: [EMAIL PROTECTED] root]# urpmi kernel-2.4.22.26mdk Installation failed, some files are missing: ftp://ftp-linux.cc.gatech.edu/pub/linux/distributions/mandrake/updates/9.2/RPMS/./kernel-2.4.22.26mdk-1-1mdk.i586.rpm You may want to update your urpmi database So, I update my urpmi database with 'urpmi.update -a' and that seems to update properly, however, I continue to get the same error when trying to install the kernel update. I have no idea what files are missing. Currently, I am running the same kernel that was originally installed with the system, 2.4.22-10mdk, so this would be the first kernel update I have done on this system. I am new to Mandrake and linux in general so I would really appreciate any help in this matter. Thanks, Mike ok it still cant find your kernel.. sooo add a new urpmi repository thendisable the one it normall finds it at.. if u have x server then go to update media and uncheck the ftp://ftp-linux.cc.gatech.edu/pub/linux/distributions/mandrake/updates/9.2/RPMS/ if you still have problems ill give you the file from my ftp server... -- jason pearl [EMAIL PROTECTED] ++ Keep your friends close and your enemies closer-Tupac ++ Kurrupted Visionz Phx, AZregistered linux user #307811 MDK 9.2 LinuxMachine# 193475, 227341 AMD64 Opteron 1.6http://counter.li.org ASUS SK8N 23:27:45 up 2:09, 2 users, load average: 0.01, 0.01, 0.06 pgp0.pgp Description: PGP signature

[newbie] Crontab on MD 9.2
OK. I found another problem with Mandrake 9.2 that I can solve. My crontab doesn't run. Below is what my /etc/crontab file looks like. I have backup routines that are supposed to kick off and create tar balls of my files. But nothing happens. I don't get any emails from Cron saying that ran. Any ideas why Cron isn't running? /etc/crontab: SHELL=/bin/bash PATH=/sbin:/bin:/usr/sbin:/usr/bin MAILTO=root HOME=/ # run-parts 01 * * * * root nice -n 19 run-parts /etc/cron.hourly 02 4 * * * root nice -n 19 run-parts /etc/cron.daily 22 4 * * 0 root nice -n 19 run-parts /etc/cron.weekly 42 4 1 * * root nice -n 19 run-parts /etc/cron.monthly 00 3 * * * /root/vscan 00 5 * * * /home/laptop/laptop.backup 00 6 * * 0 /home/laptop/sunday.backups 00 2 * * * /root/updates 00 1 * * * /usr/local/f-prot/tools/check-updates.pl 00 7 1 * * /home/laptop/monthly.backups signature.asc Description: This is a digitally signed message part
RE: [newbie] Crontab on MD 9.2
The scripts can be executed by root and run fine with root. Do they need to be permissible by anything else? I am not at home at the moment but I can post the exact permissions on those scripts later. -Original Message- From: Tony S.
