[expert] Recommendations.
Hi Guys, Could do with some recommendations. Trying to resurrect an old machine here and put it to some practical use as a print/email server. I've just put in a new un-partitioned/formatted 20 gig drive, and thought for once, I'd try and put the partitions in the right order! The problem is, the machine's bios is from 96 so wont go over 8gig, and ideally I want to put on a small partition (bout 4 gig) for Winbloze 95, just for compatability sakes (and other people in the house who aren't up to speed with linux) as some of the hardware in machine lacks drivers under linux. So, what's the general concensus these days? I probably still want to put a /boot in under 1024, and will use lilo for dual booting when it's necessary. So, format and partition under W95 first, or start an install for MDK 7.2 and use Partition Magic? Should I really update the bios...?

[expert] Bug in Tetex / terminfo
Hi Folks, while trying to fine-tune the tetex environement, I noticed that texconfig couldn't find the linux-termcap entries. This is due to the fact that /usr/lib/terminfo has moved to /usr/share/terminfo. 2 Ways of fixing this. Or you symlink the /usr/share/terminfo directory to the /usr/lib directory, or you edit the texconfig script and adapt the Path.

So, format and partition under W95 first, or start an install for MDK 7.2 and use Partition Magic? Should I really update the bios...? Well, for one thing, W95 only (did I say "only"?) supports 2 GB partitions, as it uses FAT 16, not FAT32. Unless there is a driver and format utility for it I don't know about. You may not need to upgrade the BIOS. Try this process and see what happens. If you are planning to use it as a print and mail server, then 1) 20 GB is overkill by an order of magnitude, and 2) why W95 other than just to dink around with? If you are using it as a W95 box, it can't very will function as a mail server. That said, I'd build a primary partition of 2 GB with Mess-DOS' fdisk, format that and install W95. Then I'd use a recent Linux distribution like the latest tomsrtbt to build three extended partitions, one of them fairly samll, the other two of roughly 1/2 of the rest of the drive each. Then I'm make at least 2, maybe three 30 MB partitions for booting. Why 3? That way I can have three active Linux installations: my current one, the one to which I am migrating, and the old one from which I recently migrated. I'd build a nice big /home partition and maybe another for mail spooling. I'd make an over-sized swap partition, knowing full well that I can set the swap area within that partition with mkswap. I'd try to get the swap partition more or less in the middle of the hard drive to minimize head travel at swap time. Then I'd install a recent Linux disty on that. I'd leave the rest of the hard drive alone untill I needed to make new root partitions for future Linux disties or other purposes. Then, before I did ANYTHING else, I'd go out and buy myself a good backup tape drive, like the HP DDS4 drive, and start building myself a bare metal restore zip disk and set of scripts. Or I'd get BRU and use the OBDR feature of the HP drive. I'd test that stuff thoroughly before I had anthing more invested in that hard drive than the installations. -- -- C^2 No windows were crashed in the making of this email.

POP-3 is a way to RETRIEVE mail only. When you send mail, you utilize SMTP. It sounds like the most likely explanation is independent of all of the above though. Either your SMTP options in your E-mail program are incorrect (i.e.: an invalid SMTP host) or the DNS server (that the SMTP server you connect to to send mail) can not correctly resolve the domain of your mail host that is the final delivery point. The (traveling) life of an E-mail - Sender's mail client sends mail (SMTP) to it's listed SMTP host. The SMTP host then decides if the user is local: Yes, Skip to Drop step No, Pass mail on Pass mail onto server that holds the desired recipient (again utilizing SMTP) Drop mail into recipient's mailbox Recipient checks for mail (POP-3) - As for on-demand POP-3, that is controlled by the inetd daemon. When a request to the POP-3 port is received, inetd calls the POP-3 server program which then processes the actual request (to retrieve user's mail). The same goes for IMAP if you choose to *retrieve* your mail that way. Summary: your POP-3 settings on your server should not have anything to do with your server's ability to receive mail. Look either at your sending e-mail program's SMTP setting and/or check that your server's DNS entry is current and correct.

[expert] pppd question
First - I don't really belong here. I am NOT an expert. But I do need expert advice/answers What is the difference between Linux-Mandrake 7.1 and its pppd files/KDE files and the same files that come with Linux-Mandrake 7.2 isos? I had pppd "dial on demand" working in L-M 7.1 with the information provided in the man pppd file and some information that I found posted on the Internet, basicly an "how I got it to work" website. The same configuration files that worked with L-M 7.1 do not work with L-M 7.2. I am lost on this and I will gladly answer questions about what/when etc. I would offer more information now but i don't know what you need to know to help me.

I just upgraded from 7.1 to 7.2 and notice that all my icons etc for gnome are missing...these I will have to examine further but have seen others suggesting fixes for this. However I seem to have one problem that I haven't seen anyone complaining about. If I start X and open a terminal (doesn't appear to matter which version) whenever I type a letter 'R' in that window the letter doesn' make it to the terminal and it appears that the window get focus or that the gnome desktop panel gets the focus. The upshot is that in X I can no longer manage to type an R. Any help available before I have to spend time looking at why would be helpful.

Re: [expert] could not open default font fixed
I've seen this problem when xfs is not running. Make sure it is up before running X. Also check for this line FontPath "unix/:-1" in the /etc/X11/XF86Config that tells X to look for fonts using xfs. If you don't have xfs installed, install it and run /etc/init.d/xfs start and make sure you have a xfs -port -1 -daemon running before starting X.

[expert] Install problem
I started using mandrake when 7.0 first came out. Installed easily and I loved it. I upgraded to 7.1 when it came out. My 7.1 system works fantastic and I also have it running on another computer in the house that acts as my email server and proxy for this mandrake box and my wife's windows me machine. I have run into a problem trying to upgrade to 7.2. Everything goes just fine until it asks for the 2nd disk. I put it in and it kicks it back out when I click on the ok button, the same thing for the 3rd and 4th disk, so I do the install with just the 1st disk. I discovered afterwards I'm unable to access my cdrom, I get an error saying it's locked and I don't have access to it. This occurs as a user or as root. Cdrom2 works fine. What I'm thinking is this drive gets locked during installation from the 1st disk and is unable to read the subsequent disks. Why would this happen? Hardware? I've had the same results on 2 different computers. I've tried the upgrade option and the install option using store bought disks and disks I burned from iso's I downloaded. Maybe I'll disconnect my cdrom and run the install from the cd-rw drive. I'm getting tired of doing installs. I sure do like what I've seen of 7.2 and would like to get it installed so that it works properly. There just seems to be too much missing not being able to use the other disks. -- Roland Hightower [EMAIL PROTECTED] http://www.kd5rh.net Linux-Mandrake 7.1 Registered Linux user# 183785 Keep in touch with http://mandrakeforum.com: Subscribe the "[EMAIL PROTECTED]" mailing list.

Re: [expert] Remote printing
As Mandrake 7.2 has CUPS as printing system now, the things are different: /var/spool/lpd is obsolete /var/spool/cups only contains spooled jobs, no config files /etc/printcap is generated by CUPS so thet KDE and other applications find the printers The configuration of CUPS is in the files in the /etc/cups directory. See also the documentation of CUPS on http://localhost:631/. For setting up an ethernet-connected printer, start "kups" choose "Printer"/"Add" and on the "Backend Selector" page choose the protocol of the printer: IPP, LPD, Socket, SMB. In the case of SMB and Socket you can even scan the network to find your printer. Check the manual of your printer to know which protocol it uses.

Re: [expert] Install problem
Hi, Do you have the autofs or the amd running (sometimes they are a pain in the neck)? Maybe they are mounting the drive when you insert it. Also, is you cdrw running with scsi emulation? Maybe you need to use another device file other than hd*, maybe a sr0 or something. If your cd is scsi, maybe it is installing the wrong driver for it. Good luck, Luis On Sun, 5 Nov 2000, Roland Hightower wrote: I started using mandrake when 7.0 first came out. Installed easily and I loved it. I upgraded to 7.1 when it came out. My 7.1 system works fantastic and I also have it running on another computer in the house that acts as my email server and proxy for this mandrake box and my wife's windows me machine. I have run into a problem trying to upgrade to 7.2. Everything goes just fine until it asks for the 2nd disk. I put it in and it kicks it back out when I click on the ok button, the same thing for the 3rd and 4th disk, so I do the install with just the 1st disk. I discovered afterwards I'm unable to access my cdrom, I get an error saying it's locked and I don't have access to it. This occurs as a user or as root. Cdrom2 works fine. What I'm thinking is this drive gets locked during installation from the 1st disk and is unable to read the subsequent disks. Why would this happen? Hardware? I've had the same results on 2 different computers. I've tried the upgrade option and the install option using store bought disks and disks I burned from iso's I downloaded. Maybe I'll disconnect my cdrom and run the install from the cd-rw drive. I'm getting tired of doing installs. I sure do like what I've seen of 7.2 and would like to get it installed so that it works properly. There just seems to be too much missing not being able to use the other disks. -- Roland Hightower [EMAIL PROTECTED] http://www.kd5rh.net Linux-Mandrake 7.1 Registered Linux user# 183785 Keep in touch with http://mandrakeforum.com: Subscribe the "[EMAIL PROTECTED]" mailing list.
