[newbie] UltraATA 100 IDE
Are UltraATA 100 IDE drives backward-compatible to conventional IDE? I'm running a dual Windows XP / Linux-Mandrake box with an Asus A7V133 motherboard. I've decided to add a second HDD 1) to rip my CD collection to and 2) as backup media for my primary HDD. I'm finding some pretty good deals on 7200RPM, 200GB HDDs in UltraATA 100. My version of LM (7.2 (I know, I know)) doesn't support UltraATA 100, so I'm running the HDD on the conventional IDE bus. I'd rather not upgrade the Linux side right at the moment. Can I continue to use the conventional IDE bus? Thanks. Mark Shaw Want to buy your Pack or Services from MandrakeSoft? Go to http://www.mandrakestore.com Join the Club : http://www.mandrakeclub.com

[newbie] Reinstalling WinMe and Grub
Hello, I have a dual-boot Windows Me / LM7.2 machine (Asus mobo, AMD uP). The Windows side has become unstable (imagine that!) and I'd like to reinstall it. My understanding is that the boot sector will be overwritten when I do this, meaning Grub will need to be reinstalled as well. Can someone walk me through the safest way to proceed with this?

[newbie] Resolving HW conflicts
Hi All, Short version: I need a general methodology for determining what resources my peripherals are using; i.e. a list of files to examine or diagnostics to run that will tell me that my soundcard is using IRQ n / port m / DMA x / whatever y, my modem is using IRQ etc etc Long version: I'm running LM7.2 on an Asus/K7 platform with Winders Me in another set of partitions. When I set this thing up I had a lot of trouble with the modem; finally got it working by forcing (via BIOS changes) the PCI slot the modem inhabits to use IRQ10 instead of allowing it to autoconfigure, and reflecting this change in my setserial command (also sets it to tty4). This mobo has onboard sound, so rather than invest in a soundcard I just used that. Winders liked that fine, but LM never saw it. So recently I bought a SoundBlaster 16, and finally installed it over the weekend. Winders likes this too; no problems there. On the Linux side, however, the modem has quit responding. The sound card was detected and set up by sndconfig, and I do get sound, but for some reason sndconfig thinks it's an Ensonic. Obviously there's some sort of conflict. So what I need to do is either change the modem settings (in which case I need to know what IRQs/ports/etc are free), change the SoundBlaster settings (in which case I need to know the same *plus* the extra SB parameters for snd- config), or ... well, or something else, you tell me.

Re: [newbie] Bypassing KDE Logon Screen
http://perso.mandrakesoft.com/~civileme Download the file Xtart I wonder -- is this something I should try? I posted several messages some time ago about having lost the default LM login screen (with the cartoon penguins) and with it the ability to use window managers other than KDE. Did you create a .xinitrc file in your home directory? Xtart checks the window managers assigned valid menus on your system and offers you a text menu of them. It does not use .xinitrc. It does not use chksession, and it does not use .Xauthority. It is a simple tool to give you access to all your wms from Console. It reads only the files in the directory /etc/X11/wmsession.d/ and does its own variant of chksession. Anyway, the problem I'm having occurs before I log in. What used to happen before I had this problem was that the machine would boot up, and when it was done I would see the graphical user/password login screen with the cartoon penguins representing users. If I remember clearly, there was also a dropdown chooser that I could use to select KDE, Gnome, etc. on that screen. (There was also a shutdown button, which is what I really miss most.) NOW what happens is the exact same thing, only instead of the login screen I describe above I get a KDE login screen. Remember, I haven't logged in yet, so putting anything in my home directory isn't going to help me -- what I need to know is what's the system equivalent of the .xinitrc or whatever, and how I need to set it to get the old login screen back (along with the ability to choose window managers and shut the machine down without logging in). This is LM7.2 if that helps. Mark Shaw Want to buy your Pack or Services from MandrakeSoft? Go to http://.mandrakestore.com

[newbie] Reinstalling without pain?
Recently I had a system crash that wiped out my LM7.2 desktop completely (the one with the cartoon penguins) and left me with only standard KDE -- which is okay, I guess, but I really want the other one back. After trying and failing to get help both here and via the MandrakeExpert feature of the LM website, I've decided to just bite the bullet and reinstall the OS. I have /home as a separate partition, so I don't think any of my users' (me and my SO actually) stuff will get blown away, but: Is there anything like a canonical list of files one should save before reinstalling? I'm thinking of stuff like /etc/ passwd, rc.local, etc. I can come up with a few of these myself without too much thought, but I bet one or two of you out there have already faced this problem and might have something to say about it Anything else I should keep in mind?

[newbie] How to restore LM7.2 desktop?
After a system lockup-and-reset over the weekend, I no longer get the default LM7.2 login screen and desktop. I'm talking about the login screen with the cartoon penguins representing users, and the ability for an ordinary user to shut the machine down from that screen. What I *do* get is a KDE login screen, which works, but I'd like to get the other one back. How can I go about this? Thanks!

[newbie] Lockup kills KDE
I just had a system lockup while trying something with Electric Eyes -- no keyboard, no mouse, no nothing. After a while I resorted to hitting the reset button. Now I no longer get the same login screen -- what I do get is what seems to be a standard vanilla KDE login prompt (no choices of other window managers, no goofy penguin cartoons), and very limited toolbars etc. once the WM does come up. No idea yet what else might be screwed up. I'd kind of like to restore the system to its previous state without reinstalling the entire OS (LM7.2). If it comes to that it'd be non-disastrous as I did choose a pretty safe partitioning scheme (separate partitions for /, /home, /usr and swap), but to completely reinstall seems overkill. Where should I start with this? Any system logs I should look at? Is there a group of packages or whatever I can install to take care of this? Remember that at the moment all I really want to do is get the LM7.2/KDE desktop back. Perhaps even more importantly: what should I do the next time the system locks up like that? Thanks Mark Shaw
Re: [newbie] Debugging print jobs
That works fine. I suspect the problem lies with the PostScript produced by pcal itself. I just tried opening it up in ghostview. It opens up fine and looks very nice, but I can't print it from ghostview either. Try opening kups or qtcups and configuring your printer from there. Make sure that your printer is online (i.e. through CUPS), and print a test page (the page is a postscript file) when you're done. On Sat, 28 Jul 2001 23:56, Mark Shaw wrote: Still nothing.

[newbie] No sound
Machine is an AMD T-bird 1.2GHz in an Asus A7V133. This mobo has onboard audio, which works fine under Windows Me. Under Mandrake-Linux 7.2 I get no sound at all. HardDrake finds it and seemingly installs it without errors, but then when the midi sample plays nothing is heard. sndconfig finds VIA Technologies | VT82C686 [Apollo Super AC97 / Audio] but says it's not currently supprted. This was with v. 0.55 of sndconfig; upgrading to 0.64 didn't help (in fact the onboard auidio isn't found at all after this). For grins I tried opening a midi file with the KDE midi player, and it told me it couldn't open /dev/sequencer. I can turn Soundblaster Pro emulation on in the BIOS, but thought I'd check here first to see if anyone had any other ideas or experience with this. Thanks! I really haven't worried too much about this since building this box back in March, but now since I've down- loaded the QuakeIII demo :) Mark Shaw
[newbie] Security issues
Up to now I've been connecting to the internet from home through a corporate firewall, both under Windows and now Linux. So I haven't given the issue of security much thought. I plan to get a private ISP pretty soon, though. What should I be worried about if I'm connected under Linux? What could a malicious person actually *do* to a Linux box on the internet? Would they be able to access my HDD without having to log on as a user? If so, would that access be read-only, or rwx?

[newbie] modem installation hassles
Sorry this is kind of long, but I wanted to get all the info in System: Asus A7v133 mobo / Athlon 1.2G OS: dual-boot WinMe / Mandrake 7.2 Modem: Multitech MT5634ZPX-PCI Modem is claimed to NOT be a winmodem, and there are Linux installation instructions in the user's manual. Manufacturer also has RedHat RPMs at his FTP site, but does not refer to these in the manual. Modem works fine under Windows. Device Manager lists it as being at COM3, IRQ9, I/O as follows: A400-A4FF A000-A0FF 9800-9807 The modem is in PCI slot 4 (I have 5 PCI and 1 AGP slots). Per manufacturer's Linux installation instructions, I examined /proc/pci for modem info. Parameters are exactly as those listed by Windows Device Manager (see above), except of course there is no COM port given. I thought about including the /proc/pci file here, but because of its size I posted it at http://mshaw.topcities.com/proc_pci.txt instead. I note that it indicates that IRQ9 is shared by the USB controller, and I seem to remember something about Linux not playing well with USB yet So, continuing with manufacturer's instructions, I obviously want to configure /dev/ttyS2. First I check it, as root: # setserial /dev/ttyS2 Output indicates UART unknown / port 0x03e8 / IRQ4. So now I reconfigure it: # setserial /dev/ttyS2 uart 16550A port 0xa400 irq 9 Checking again w/ 'setserial /dev/ttyS2' indicates that my settings have taken hold EXCEPT that it's on IRQ2. Not knowing what else to do, I proceed anyway. I want to use minicom to test the modem, so: # ln -s /dev/ttyS2 /dev/modem # chmod 666 /dev/ttyS2 # minicom -s (and save config file) Then, as a normal user: % minicom % minicom: cannot open /dev/modem; device or resource busy Hrmph. I get the idea that when the manual told me to set the port to the first I/O address found in /proc/pci, it might've meant first in the memory map, not first listed. So I re-issue my setserial command: # setserial /dev/ttyS2 uart 16550A port 0x9800 irq 9 and try again. Same result, only now minicom tells me that there's no such file or directory as /dev/modem, which I know isn't true via 'ls' and 'file'. Setting things back to their original configuration each time, I try all of the above with ttySn, for n == [1,3,4,31]. The results are always the same, and each time the port is stuck on IRQ2. (But when I set things BACK, e.g. restore /dev/ttyS2 to IRQ4, that seems to work.) I remembered that a guy here at work told me that COM1 and COM3 work best with IRQ4, and COM2 and COM4 work best with IRQ3. So I change the BIOS setting for PCI slot 4/5 from autoconfigure to IRQ4. Now Windows indicates that everything is as it was before, except the modem's now on IRQ4. And the modem works fine. But Linux won't boot -- it freezes on that blue page with all the boot steps and the penguin in the upper-left-hand corner. I dimly recall hearing/reading something about how Mandrake checks h/w configurations at install time, but not afterwards, so maybe this is why Double hrmph. So I set things back to the way they were and started working on this plea for help. :) Observations/questions: - The original Windows installation routine put the modem on COM5 (I forget which IRQ). Now that I'm reading the documentation a little closer than I was at the time, I find that this is normal. I used one of the .exe utilities that came on the installation CD to change it to COM4 because the Mandrake modem-installation GUI -- which I'm no longer using, obviously -- only listed COM1 through COM4. (It didn't work there either; that's why I changed it again to COM3 and started taking better notes.) I wonder what would happen if I just reinstalled the modem to COM5 and went through the above sequence again? - The /proc/pci gives I/O addresses as (e.g.) 0xa400 [0xa401]. What is the significance of the [0xa401]? - I wonder what would happen if I changed the BIOS again to force the modem to be on IRQ4, then reinstalled Linux?

[newbie] CDRW/DVD won't mount
I have a Toshiba CDRW/DVD combo drive. ML7.2 installed fine from CD, but now I can't read CDs -- even the ML install CDs -- on it. The ML install set me up with supermount; I verified that with my /etc/fstab. As a normal user I get a permissions problem with /mnt/cdrom. As root I get an I/O error when trying to read it directly (ls /mnt/cdrom), and a wrong fs type, bad block or [something else, don't recall] error when trying to mount it from the command line (it dismounted without error first). I poked around in /dev and discovered that I have /dev/cdrom and /dev/ cdrom1. Is this for the CDR and CDW functions or something? Anyway, I'm stumped. What's my next move? Thanks Mark Shaw
Re: [newbie] DiskDrake w/ PartitionMagic
