Re: [expert] UDMA66 problem
I don't have the optimisations enabledI have tried everything to get it going...it's been frusterating to the nth degreeI have a standard floppy...like I said it works fine in 7.0 after doing the fix (cd /dev rm cdrom ln -s scd0 cdrom) no problems at allbut install 7.1 and it refuses to work...removes the drive from bios locks on and I can't even eject the darn thing until I power completely down.I dunno guyit's about to drive me nuts...LOL Jim The information that it works in 7.0 and doesn't in 7.1 is suggestive of something else. The creative CDRW 4224 is enabled for DMA, and 7.1 would likely use it by default. Now I do assume you are trying to open a data disk and not an audio disk (because the audio disk doesn't use "files" per se) and it freezes on you. This suggests it might be overdriven or be treated as a HDD. I have a Creative CDRW (same model) on my K6-2 500 system and 7.1 worked the first time, but I did NOT choose during the install to enable hard disk optimisations. I later enabled them for the hard drive alone using the hdparm command. (and besides man hdparm, there is VERY useful discussion of it at http://forum.mandrakesoft.com) If you enabled them during the 7.1 install, that might be something to back off a notch and see what happens. Nexxt question--do you have a standard floppy or an LS120/LX120? Special considerations apply to those little demons, but there are workarounds. I just moved from an LS120 to a regular floppy--no duplication. I don't understand why I am unable to duplicate the behavior here. What else is different in our systems? I just moved the CDRW to another computer with a K6-2 300 and a VIA MVP3 chipset. The other was a VIA MVP4. Still no duplication. My drive works under 7.0 and 7.1. This is most odd. I will try reinstall tomorrow and enable HD optimisation and see if it makes a difference. Actually 7.0 should introduce a problem with a CDRW. The 'append="ide-scsi"' is set up and the module loaded but the ln -s /dev/sr0 /dev/cdrw is NOT performed. So you cannot access it under 7.0 til you tweak. That problem was corrected in 7.1. I'll let you know if I duplicate the behavior under 7.1 that you are experiencing. Civileme

If it's not working then it's LIKELY a problem with something in your system -- i.e. an incompatibility with timing or something like that. From what I"ve read since you brought this up, Mandrake 7.02 didn't support UDMA/66, so it would make a LOT of sense that hardware that worked in Mandrake 7.02 won't work in 7.1, at least not at UDMA/66. Hardware specs are everything, and if the manufacturer doesn't follow the specs, you're SOL. As someone else suggested -- ditch the IDE CDRW and get SCSI. That's what I did -- I went out and bought myself a SCSI CDRW and it's been pure pleasure to just open up XCDRoast and tell it where to find the ISO I want to burn and then let it go. :-) John

Re: [expert] DISPLAY variable Java?
I ran into a similar problem once. The problem you are running into is that the Image classes in the Java package make use of the java.awt.Toolkit. For that class to work correctly, it has to connect to a graphics system (i.e. X ). Since Windows 'always' has a graphics engine running, it would work fine under Win/WinNT. If your server isn't running X, then you may not be able to use the Java graphics code to generate the dynamic image. You may want to look at some other utility that will do the same. If your server is running X, then you need to check the .Xauthority for the user the webserver is running under. It could be a permissions problem.

[expert] REPOST: BUG in netconf
Title: Did anyone understand my posting? Did anyone at Mandrake verify this problem? Am I on track here, or totally ignorant of how ipchains works? (Pffft, pffft, is this thing working? Testing, one, two, three. Testing.) - There is a bug in netconf. Please follow the description of the problem below. I want to forward traffic between my two subnets, 192.168.1.0/24 (subnetA) and 192.168.2.0/24 (subnetB). Also, I want to masquerade subnetA to the internet. When I enter the rules into linuxconf (/networking/firewalling/forward firewalling) I should enter the forward rule between subnetA and subnetB before (using the weight option) the masquerading rule.

Re: [expert] Mdk7.1 on laptop
I am sorry...I should havce changed the subject line...I was responding to someone with a laptopbut I am getting desperate here...LOL Jim Hey Jim, I'm not an 'expert', but I just read your message and it seems that you're not real happy. It sounds like somebody dropped the ball as far as getting back to you on your problem. I just want to offer a little encouragement here; Mandrake is probably one of the most 'user-friendly' packages out there right now (IMHO). I'm using the AMD K6-3 chip in one of my desktops and Mandrake has always worked just fine. Your subject does say that you're using a laptop however, I guess that could make all the difference. I seem to recall reading a lot of posts about laptops, a little more complicated seeing that so many manufacturers try to accomodate windows. I know that most of the people on this list do sincerely try to come up with good answers to help other people out, and that said, do you mind if I ask what are you having trouble with? Mike "Jim P." wrote: well in response to this I have to say, at your advice I have changed almost everything in my sytem for testing. I changed cpu's because you said there was a problem with AMD K6-3 chips, no help...I rearranged the way the drives were accessed...no change...I removed a driveno change...this SIR was all at YOUR advice and when I reported to you the problem still existed I did not get any further responses. NOW sir I have been dealing with this since the day of release and have posted the problem over and over and over, with no help...Mandrake sent me a fairly nasty letter advising me they DO NOT support 7.1 As for obligations, I have been patient posting over and over the same problem and got no help...some attempts yes and for that I am greatfulbut when the problem remained there was no further help. It doesn't matter to me if I upgrade to 7.1 any longer, as far as I am concerned when my 7.0 is obsolete, I will replace it with a competing brand name, yes I have purchased 7.0 deluxe edition and paid 60 bucks for it 3 days before the release of 7.1now tell me kind sir...would you not be frusterated too?

I'm not even getting THAT...at least not on my EIDE drive
('course it's one that's been around a couple years, so
it's not optimized for UDMA...only an 850 meg drive G)
Now, just for giggles, I"m gonna see what I get on my UW
SCSI drive...
IDE:
[root@slave1 /root]# hdparm -tT /dev/hda
/dev/hda:
Timing buffer-cache reads: 128 MB in 3.18 seconds = 40.25 MB/sec
Timing buffered disk reads: 64 MB in 36.08 seconds = 1.77 MB/sec
/dev/hda:
Timing buffer-cache reads: 128 MB in 0.88 seconds = 145.45 MB/sec
Timing buffered disk reads: 64 MB in 2.88 seconds = 22.22 MB/sec
that's an IBM-DPTA-371360 7200 rpm, 2mb cache on ata/33 IDE with
hdparm -m64 -c1 -u1 -d1 -k1 -a128 /dev/hda in rc.local
/dev/hdb:
Timing buffer-cache reads: 128 MB in 0.85 seconds =150.59 MB/sec
Timing buffered disk reads: 64 MB in 6.19 seconds = 10.34 MB/sec
that's a WD AC38400L 5400rpm, 256k cache on ata/33 IDE with
hdparm -m16 -c1 -u1 -d1 -k1 -a128 /dev/hdb in rc.local
I just ran those, many runs yields about 142+ for both HDD's.
The 22.2 for the IBM is normal and constant. For the life of me I
can't get the WD to run any better (info hdparm suggests a lower
-mvalue for WD's), it's disc reads vary from 10.3 to 11.1
Motherboard's a Soyo 6ba+III (ata/33) oc'd at 135mhz FSB, but I
doubt the oc enhances HDD performance. The pci bus is 135/4 (damn
near spec of 33.3mhz), so I'm sure it doesn't hurt HDD performance
either. Single p3-450 cpu at 4.5x135 (608mhz)
SCSI:
Same exact specsmust be my motherboard can't handle
anything faster. :-/ Heh, course I'm only using a dual-PPro
system here... :-)
John
I know I must sound sort'a snippish 'bout this, but I really
think the best way to run ata/66 is to install an old 40 wire IDE
cable and disable it ;-) It's been shown that ata/66 only improves
burst speeds and that 'real world' performance is more times hurt
more than the little bit /66 helps. Maybe you can guess i've never
been a scuzzy fan either ;)
'bout the only time ata/66 performance is impressive is when
running HDtach on Winblows, all it does is measure burst rates

RE: [expert] Strange problem with the users with Samba
I'm still a bit confused on your problem. I had several Samba problems in the same configuration area as well and unintentionally became quite knowledgable at the million ways NOT to configure Samba. Perhaps you could provide a 'ls -l' of the dir itself plus its contents. Here is an example of a locked-down directory on my system that is used for development. It was the best I could do with the notoriously poor security in Windows. I could have used masks of 0660 as well but most Windows boxes seem intent on declaring everything executable (and this directory is not accessed in Linux normally).

[expert] RealProducer Plus Version 8
RealProducer Plus Version 8 is now available from Real Networks. However, there are a few things I find disturbing. I called them to find out what happened to the GUI version (that came with V6.0), they told me that there is no plan for one. It is their belief that "linux-people prefer using command-lines". This is after talking to several people at Real that had little or no idea what Linux was. It's unfortunate that Real continues to operate in the clouds with the assumption that linux is still some geek's hobby.

Re: [expert] Mdk7.1 on laptop
My experience with loading Linux on my IBM Thinkpad went ok except for getting the sound card (YamahaOPL3) to work properly. I tries Slackware7, All RedHat versions and Mandrake 6.0, 6.5, and 7.0. None of these worked with my sound card because there was always a conflict and would lock up the computer when some sound events were played. I tried Mandrake 7.1 and found that somehow they have fixed the problem. So that is what I am using now. Mandrake 7.1 looks like a great version of Linux. Don On Wed, 28 Jun 2000, you wrote: Hey Jim, I'm not an 'expert', but I just read your message and it seems that you're not real happy. It sounds like somebody dropped the ball as far as getting back to you on your problem. I just want to offer a little encouragement here; Mandrake is probably one of the most 'user-friendly' packages out there right now (IMHO). I'm using the AMD K6-3 chip in one of my desktops and Mandrake has always worked just fine. Your subject does say that you're using a laptop however, I guess that could make all the difference. I seem to recall reading a lot of posts about laptops, a little more complicated seeing that so many manufacturers try to accomodate windows.

NOW sir I have been dealing with this since the day of release and have posted the problem over and over and over, with no help...Mandrake sent me a fairly nasty letter advising me they DO NOT support 7.1 As for obligations, I have been patient posting over and over the same problem and got no help...some attempts yes and for that I am greatfulbut when the problem remained there was no further help. It doesn't matter to me if I upgrade to 7.1 any longer, as far as I am concerned when my 7.0 is obsolete, I will replace it with a competing brand name, yes I have purchased 7.0 deluxe edition and paid 60 bucks for it 3 days before the release of 7.1now tell me kind sir...would you not be frusterated too?

Re: [expert] UDMA66 problem
If you are using a Western Digital drive, make sure that the Mode is set to UDMA66. They provide a floppy disk to do that with. If this is not done the drive can behave differently. This system is using two 7200RPM WD drives on the UDMA66 IDE3 port. Don On Thu, 29 Jun 2000, you wrote: Civileme wrote: 7.0 didn't really support UDMA/66 without a lot of tweaking. My guess is that your WD drive cannot do UDMA66 even though it was advertised to do such. Not impossible, but my drive doesn't work with any DMA mode in 7.1 (and it worked in 7.0 and in MSWindows). Another question directly related to that problem is what are the software or config files which have or could have an influence on the drive performances? I'm nearly certain that my problem doesn't come from the kernel. I know also that it's not hdparm (I tried the version included in 7.0). Philippe

Re: [expert] Metro-X
Calvert, looks like possibly some DNS info is missing on your system. Edit /etc/resolv.conf, and add the domain name, and primary and secondary IP addresses of your ISP's server. Or you can use KPPP, and enter these values into the GUI setup, and the DNS infor will have a temp entry in /etc/resolv.conf.

Is this directory accessed from the linux side? Or is it made public in the global section? Is "produ" in /etc/passwd? Send: ls -l /home/users/docutech ls -l /home/users/docutech/fitxers-docutech cat /etc/smbusers I don't know if additional info will shed any light on the subject. You might also try joining the samba mailing list or searching the archives at: http://us2.samba.org/samba/archives.html Bill -Original Message- From: [EMAIL PROTECTED] [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED]]On Behalf Of Leopold Palomo Sent: Thursday, June 29, 2000 5:50 PM To: [EMAIL PROTECTED] Cc: Bill Shirley Subject: Re: [expert] Strange problem with the users with Samba Bill Shirley ha escrit: You sure didn't provide much information! Send a: cat /etc/smb.conf All right, I'm sorry. I all the time complain about the people that don't send information and I do the same. [docutech] path = /home/users/docutech/fitxers-docutech valid users = produ admin users = produ write list = produ force user = docutech force group = users read only = No Any ideas?? Thanks a lot for the interest. Best regards, Leo

I was away from the list for a while... but I do have the phenomenon in mind. I think the drive to make me nuts would be the shorter rideBG The hardware I have is very similar to yours. PLease let me see the output of dmesg cat /proc/pci lspcidrake cat /etc/fstab (AFTER you try installing 7.1 again) And I am very curious also why /dev/scd0 would work. CDRWs are normally assigned /dev/sr0, /dev/sr1 Could THAT be it? Is your CDRW acting like ONLY a CD-R? You did a manual /dev/scd0 in 7.0 but the 7.1 install would have done a symbolic link to /dev/sr0 They should both be block-major-11 but if the W portion isn't working I have no idea what that effect would be.

I have a CD-RW drive in a new Dell that I recently installed 7.1 on, and MDK set up a link from /dev/cdrom to /dev/scd0, not to /dev/sr0. Both /dev/scd0 and /dev/sr0 exist, but I note that the owner/groups are carver/disk and root/cdwriter, respectively (where carver is the current logged in user). I have not gotten around to burning any CDs yet, but we have found that it cannot properly read CD-RWs (reads normal CDs, CD-Rs, and music CDs fine). Could this have something to do with the device link? The supermount info in fstab refers to /dev/cdrom. Also, when I just did dmesg, I simply get a bunch of lines like: sr0: CDROM not ready. Make sure there is a disc in the drive. followed by sr0: disc change detected. So something is strange here--cdrom linked to scd0, but clearly getting messages related to sr0. [Also, why is dmesg simply showing me these messages and not the bootup info that is in /var/log/dmesg. I don't see these sr0 messages in any log file. Where are they being stored?] Thanks, Norm
