Hello, all...
Fairly new to this...I'm running Caldera OpenLinux 2.3...everything was
going smoothly
for about 3 or 4 days (after a bunch of Ethernet headaches, that is
!!)...and now my
monitor's started acting up.
Every so often it will go black, then come up again, but I can see that
it's not actually
losing power. Moreover, I've noticed on a few occasions that when it
comes back up, it's
in a different mode.
Any ideas as to what's happening and/or what I can do about it ??
Thanks for your time/patience...

Subject: TV-out with ATI EGA Wonder & Mandrake
Date: Tue, 16 Jan 2001 18:04:40 GMT
I have assembled some old parts to create a linux box (running Mandrake
7.0) that plays mp3's through my home stereo. It is networked and I can
control it through any of the other boxes in the house but I would like
it to work in a more stand-alone fashion. Since my TV is right beside
the stereo, I figured that this would be fine as a monitor. I just want
a command line, I don't need X. I picked up an old ATI EGA Wonder video
card the other day which has a composite output (RCA plug). When I feed
this into my TV (through the video in on the VCR) I get a readable
display but the problem I'm having is that once the screen fills up with
text, it doesn't scroll off the screen properly. I am only able to get
one screen of text, new stuff doesn't appear.
If I boot from a DOS floppy everything works properly, old text leaving
at the top of the screen, new text at the bottom, so I don't think it is
a hardware problem. My best guess is that Mandrake is somehow assuming a
VGA or better display but I have searched everywhere and I can't figure
out how to tell it I just want CGA with 25 lines of text per screen.
Any help would be greatly appreciated. I can make the thing work fine by
ALT -F*ing and repeatedly logging into a new console but this is
annoying and my wife needs something a little more user friendly.

Make sure you include DNS in your host.conf file, otherwise it won't
use DNS to lookup names...

Subject: Netscape mime types/helper applications
Date: Tue, 16 Jan 2001 11:02:04 -0800
I have a question regarding setting up Netscape to run certain helper
applications when files with a specified extension are clicked on. When
I go into edit --> preferences --> navigator --> applications and I
enter a new helper application type, it asks for a file extension (easy
enough), an application to use (easy enough) and a mime type. For mime
type I don't know what to put...I copy an example of another type
similar to it (like application/video for example) but when I click ok
and the dialogs go away and I try to click on a file of that extension
in netscape, it starts to display the application as a bunch of garbled
text in the browser on a new page. So my question is, how does one set
up mime types in netscape? I'm assuming that this is what I'm going
wrong. Thanks much in advance,
Jason

Years ago I downloaded a document, "A Gentle Introduction to TeX", a manual

Manitoba, and found it very useful. I don't remember where I got it from
but a search using google or some other engine would probably locate a

In the RH7 CD #2 H:\RedHat\instimage\usr\lib\python1.5\site-packages
directory, there are, among other things, the following files:
gtk.py
GTK.py
gtk.pyc
GTK.pyc
The immediate result of these names is that the files, and thus, copies of
the CD's, can NOT be stored in an FAT or FAT32 partition.
Is this deliberate? Is there a work-around?

Some other things to think about include:
What is /dev/cdrom pointing to
Why the hell is it called /dev/cdrom (You do have a real cdrom, don't

Have you recompiled the kernel, and missed something out, do you need to

Ok, this was the missing link (and actual answer to my question).
It tells me how to insure sanity on the paths.
What's the incantation for fstab? Should I use:
'/dev/hda10/usr /usr ext2 auto,rw,exec 1 1'
(assuming /usr is on /dev/hda10) or will simply 'mount /usr'
work? (I don't see how; how would the system know that '/usr' is
on '/dev/hda10'?)

I started the gpm process, and then my mouse behaved erratically under
console-mc. I ran my mouseconfig to be certain that the appropriate
options were selected (PS/2 mouse, emulate 3-buttons), but the mouse
continues to be uncontrollable when running console-mc. In order to
use console-mc I must PF10 in order to stop the mouse acting this way.
Is there another to determine mouse properties/behavior on the
console? Perhaps a config file to tweak or something?

Hello folks,
As part of my ongoing saga to try and get kmidi working with Mandrake
7.2 I
downloaded and installed KDE 2.0.1
(including the missing rpm from an mandrake unsupported dir mirror)
and compiled and installed qt 2.2.2.
The first thing I noticed was that some of the files in the
kdemultimedia RPM which are present in the
kdemultimedia-2.0-8mdk.i586.rpm I downloaded and installed before kde
2.0.1. As of yet I haven't worked out how to extract only the missing
files.
I have seen no reports of kmidi crashing under 2.0.1 (deja search) so
is this a peculiarity of my setup or a known problem. Any help would
be appreciated,

Subject: 2.4.0 + Slackware -> No boot
Date: 16 Jan 2001 20:28:47 GMT
After installing v2.4.0 of the kernel on my aging Slackware (the
version before version 7) system, the machine will not completely
boot. The kernel starts loading and gets the point where it says
something about "Net/4 for SMP..." or message like that and then
stops. The machine works fine with 2.2.17 and I am really not sure
what the problem maybe with 2.4.0. There are no obvious error messages
being reported either. Are there changes that need to be made in /dev
with 2.4.0? I did not change any of the hardware and am still able to
boot the 2.2.17 kernel.
Any suggestions would be greatly appreciated.
Thanks.

Subject: Printer daemon
Date: Tue, 16 Jan 2001 15:56:32 -0600
I am new to Linux. I have a ThinkPad A21m running Caldera 2.4. The
ThinkPad is connected to a Canon BJC 2000 printer. After bootup it is
impossible to print. The LPD daemon is set to start with bootup. The
printjob, whether it comes from StarOffice or from a simple Text Editor,
reads in the printer queue as "active", but no printing occurs. When I
go to printer setup, after removing the current print job, and stop the
daemon and restart it, then printing happens just fine from any editor
upon request. I shouldn't have to go through this extra step, however,
just to initiate printing. It should initiate on its own after bootup.
I tried changing the switch on the LPD daemon so that it didn't start
with bootup, but that only made matters worse. Then, a request to print
freezes the screen.
Grateful for any help.

If you look in /usr/src/linux/redhat you will find template .config
files that RedHat uses to build there distro kernels. After you run
"make mrproper" copy the template file that describes the kernel you are
using into /usr/src/linux/.config and then run "make xconfig" (or what
ever config you use) and then follow the rest of the kernel HOWto
instructions. BTW Also have a look at the "readme" file in
/usr/src/linux as it has a lot of good info building the kernel.

I've just completed installing RedHat 7.0 onto a partition on my laptop and
when the installation went to create a boot disk, the disk drive just spun
and spun and never completed the task. When I ejected the floppy (after
about 5 minutes) the completed screen came up and I went to reboot back into
windows. That was successful. However, whn I attempted to use the boot disk
the disk would spin and 40 40 40 40 would get written to the screen. My
question is this....
How do I reboot into linux using the CD so that I can produce a good boot
disk? Or how do I make one from scratch? And where can I find good
directions on doing that?
