[expert] Good news: System Crashes stopped
While I was looking for a way to speed the system up here (it had slowed to a crawl, if you had Evo, Opera, and several Eterms open...which I do all the time) I decided to reduce the number of Enlightenment desktops I had open, to gain some desktop speed. I took the system down to two from four. Since that time (it's been about a week and a half) the crashes have virtually stopped. Because I'm seeing these results, I tend to believe that the problems were related to memory and X. Of course the situation is so complex I can only intuit the real problem, but that is what it looks like. l8r, --LX -- Kernel 2.4.21-0.13mdk Linux Mandrake 9.1 Enlightenment-0.16.5-12mdk Evolution 1.2.4-1.1mdk Linux User #268899 http://counter.li.org/ Want to buy your Pack or Services from MandrakeSoft?

Re: [expert] Routing with 2 different subnets
** Guy Van Sanden (Freitag, 20. Juni 2003 15:51) It doesn't work because your on a different subnet from your router. Understood so far. Your PDA can only reach machines on the 192.168.1 subnet. Right. Instead, you could reconfigure the MDK machine to route between .0 and .0 subnets. So default route on the PDA should be 192.168.1.1 It is already. The packets are getting out to the internet. But they are not coming in. They got stuck at eth0 and are not transmitted to usb0. IOW: Packets go out from subnet .1 to subnet .0 to internet and come in from internet to subnet .0 but are not forwarded to subnet .1. I already tried and changed the usb0 to 192.168.0.10 and the usbf to 192.168.0.100 but then when I ping the pda from desktop it will not work because the machine wants to use eth0 instead of usb0.

I've got to boot with apci=off noapic for X, and don't have IRQ balancing

Vincent just curious what's the video chip? I'm wondering if there
isn't an IRQ conflict that arises because of something DRI does. Either
that or someone removed the non-existent SCO code on you.

It's an r128 chipset. I didn't have problems with 13mdk or 18mdk, but I was
fixing the XFS ACLs (19mdk-to-be) and all of a sudden it broke. Now when I
go back to 13mdk or 18mdk it doesn't work anymore so I'm not sure what the
heck is going on.
Accounted for pretty much a wasted day tho... =(
Sounds like something got overwritten when you moded for xfs and it's
overwritten what 13 or 18 would normally use.

even know where to begin looking to track this sucker down.

Re: [expert] strange freezing
Do you see anything in the log (/var/log/messages) before the reboot time? Sometime the kernel logs a driver failure before becoming instable and crashing itself. Does it happen at a regurlar timeof the day? (Like 4:00 am when the msec stuff kick in (on 8.2 at least)). Guillaume.

Cheers Are the keyboard lights blinking? 99% likely to be a hardware problem, temperature or insufficient power. Install lm_sensors and see what it tells you. Another possibility is a driver problem in the kernel, but actual lock-up-and-crash bugs (as opposed to gradually slow down or leak memory) usually get caught during development. Upgrading to a newer kernel would test that, but it's not likely to be the problem. -- Jack Coates Monkeynoodle: A Scientific Venture... http://www.monkeynoodle.org/resume.html Want to buy your Pack or Services from MandrakeSoft?

So I presume the disk is offline or something, and issued the following command echo scsi remove-single-device 1 0 3 0 /proc/scsi/scsi When I checked the newly created /proc/scsi/scsi, the device is still listed in the file.

Re: [expert] KDE K3b cdrw

Re: [expert] strange freezing
99% likely to be a hardware problem, temperature or insufficient power. Install lm_sensors and see what it tells you. lm_sensors is good, but it has a problem (at least in my experience): it gives strange values and you have to tune them, but since it's the only app that reads temp, voltages and so on, you don't have a program to compare the results with. In windows is different: you have your mobo's software you can use to tune up apps like Motherboard Monitor. Someone in the past suggested to use the values from the BIOS, but unfortunately the processor temperature changes very much and the same for voltages (they change less :-)), so you can't have the exact value (you could guess, but you would achieve no more than 3 *C precision).

Re: [expert] Routing with 2 different subnets
To understand what is going on your networks, use tcpdump on both network. Do something like: # tcpdump -i eth0 -l -n and # tcpdump -i usb0 -l -n Then send pings from your pda and follow the path of the query and response as it goes through you linux box. First ping 192.168.1.1, you should see a query and response on usb0. Next ping 192.168.0.1, you should see query/response on both usb0 and eth0. Your MDK router has done its routing job if that's the case. Now ping the outside world (google.com is my regurlar scape goat). If you see the ping query going through the linux box but no response ever from you the internet, it is probably, as mentionned before, because the internet router is not configured to NAT the packet with 192.168.1.0/24 source address. If you NAT the packet on the MDK machine, then you should be all set: # iptables -A POSTROUTING -o eth0 -j MASQUERADE -t nat Now the ping should work and you can monitor with tcpdump that the NAT takes place. Hope this helps and the assumptions I made on your network are correct, Guillaume. On Fri, 2003-06-20 at 16:56, Wolfgang Bornath wrote: ** Wolfgang Bornath (Freitag, 20.

Then, remembering that the gateway for the pda is 192.168.1.1 I set this IP into the router's static route but it also did not change a thing.

Now when I go back to 13mdk or 18mdk it doesn't work anymore so I'm not sure what the heck is going on. Accounted for pretty much a wasted day tho... =( Sounds like something got overwritten when you moded for xfs and it's overwritten what 13 or 18 would normally use. I honestly have no clue what the deal is. Kinda frustrating because I don't even know where to begin looking to track this sucker down. FWIW If I'm right there are 5 main components in affect here. 1. Init scripts (probably haven't been modded... shouldn't have been) 2. vmlinuz (this shouldn't have been overwritten) 3. modules (there shouldn't have been any writting there but..) 4. initrd ??? 5. System Map. I'd start by looking at the System map and seeing if moving back to one of the older ones helps. Since a new kernel creates a new one. If you change the link in /boot to one of the older (say 18) system maps does it change the way things work? If not I'd start looking to see if something got accidentally overwritten in modules. Last would be rpm -e kernel18 (then verify by hand that it is 100% gone. It won't be) urpmi kernel18 and see if it resets. James Want to buy your Pack or Services from MandrakeSoft?
