Re: [expert] mozilla quickstart in Mandrake ???
Too right!!! You tell him!!! I've also found that having 512MB RAM on my laptop REALLY helps - and even SDRAM is so cheap these days one would be mad not to get some - otherwise it all comes off the hard disk in the end so no amount of 'trurbo' software will do anything. With enough RAM - Linux seems to work ultra-efficiently by using hard disk caches and buffers - it's really good. Load an app once and it will load very quickly every time after that. Windows does bugger all with the RAM - it either sits there or gets chewed up by some stupid windoze app. So do yourself a favour and go and shell out a few bikkies for say 256MB RAM and you will be amazed what difference that makes..

[expert] orphaned packages?
OK, call me anally retentive if you must but ... Debian has a utility called deborphan that sniffs out packages (usually libraries) that no longer have anything else depending on them and that can be removed. AFAIK it doesn't actually delete them, it just tells you what they are. Is there a way to do the same thing on Mandrake 9 or does this rely on something in debian's dpkg and/or the .deb format?

[expert] Mkinitrd Necessary for building kernel?
I've rebuilt my kernel and it works fine.(Now running 2.4.19). No problem on boot up... no problem at all. However, after rebuilding the kernel, I saw some other instructions that said it was necessary to create an initrd image. I hadn't done that and everything seems to be fine. However, curious person that I am, I went and ran mkinitrd and created the initrd image for the kernel. I then put the information into lilo.conf, ran lilo and rebooted. Everything booted fine... no problems... just as without the initrd image. My question is simply, is the initrd image necessary? What does it do? Is it supposed to speed up the boot process? I can't really see any difference in boot up. I know it's being loaded at boot up because I see message saying it's being loaded and then unloaded later during boot up.

[expert] Kinda strange find behavour
I've got a cron job that runs every night, to get rid of Mozilla cache files.
In it, it does:
cd /home
for d in `ls`
do
if [ -d $d/.mozilla ]; then
find $d/.mozilla -type d -name Cache -exec rm -rf {} \;
fi
done
And every morning, I have an E-Mail waiting for me saying:
find: davidg/.mozilla/default/5smx6y8d.slt/Cache: No such file or directory
What's weird is that if I go to the {RandomSetOfCharacters}.slt directory
under .mozilla/default, I find that the Cache directory is, in fact, gone
(Mozilla will simply recreate that directory when it next is started, and
that's fine - but that's besides the point here). So the question is: Why
do I get this message. It looks like the find command is being executed
twice for some reason, and I can't figure out why.
Anyone have any ideas?

[expert] Setting Static Routes.
Hi guys, Recently, I was called upon to do something that I have never done before.. We have a Dlink router and it can do NAT or route, but not both.. (it had four ports on the back, so I was hopeful, but it wasn't to be as it was just an integrated switch) we need to supply NAT to our internal machines, but host several public IP's as well. My solution was to set the router up to route directly to a linux box I setup, and it can do the NAT for the internal machines (two seperate private network ranges) That linux box has three network cards in it.. one is a privite IP in the 192.168.0.0 range. One is a private 10.0.0.0 range and the last one has several public IP's on it.. (ie: eth2, eth2:0, eth2:1 etc) The router is connected to that public Interface on the linux box.. (which just port forwards to internal servers.) The public interface is the internet gateway for all via NAT of course... Anyway, it was mostly working, but I had to set some static routes so that the machine would know what interface to send out on for each IP range... Never having done that before.. I searched for a config file. but found nothing.. I ended up using netconf from linuxconf to do it... (its a mdk7.2 box) and it allowed me to set routes to other local networks and it worked fine... In other words, I set it up something like the following: 192.168.0.0 IP's = eth0 10.0.0.0IP's = eth1 I don't like using GUI tools at the best of times, but I hate it when I don't know what they are doing.. Do static routes need to be created via gated? ir iproute?? where can I set them up manually? is there a routing version of fstab?? by that I mean a config file read at boot that sets all the default static routes? Any suggestions would be much appreciated. rgds Frank Want to buy your Pack or Services from MandrakeSoft? Go to http://www.mandrakestore.com
Re: [expert] Kinda strange find behavour
David,
Find is actually caching the Directory Information, before it sorts through it
all.
Put the Following Option into your script:
-maxdepth 1
This will make find examine the directories that you want to delete, and not the
underlying filestructure underneath.

[expert] Wireless woes: New initscript package seems broken, and high loads kills connection.
Hi, after having upgraded to the latest initscript package I suddenly couldn't connect with my wireless card (Linksys) which has worked fine since I installed Mandrake 9.0. I went into Mandrake Control Center and reconfigured it, and the connection was up again. However. when I clicked Apply in Mandrake Control Center the connection went down again, and wouldn't come up no matter what I did. In the system log it said No Link. Finally I got the old initscript package off the CD and copied all the /etc/sysconfig/network-scripts/* from the package, and my connection came back up and have worked fine again. Does anyone know what may be wrong with the new scripts, because if it's something easily editable I would rather have the updated scripts installd than a mix of two versions of initscripts. My other problem: During high network loads (downloads over DSL etc.) the wireless connection often goes down and I have to restart the network service or pull the card and re-insert it to get back on-line. I have tried with two different drivers: orinoco_cd and wvlan_cs which both work with my card. Same problem. This makes me suspect pcmcia_cs or even the kernel itself, but I have not been able to find a solution. One clue is that when the connection goes down ksoftirqd hogs 95% CPU until the card is pulled or the network services are restarted. This does not happen when I connect using a cable, or if I boot into Win2K and connect using the same card. It happens with several different base stations as well. If someone knows anything about this please point me in the right direction. TIA for help. I am running Mandrake 9.0 with stock 2.4.19 kernel (LT winmodem drivers added). TIA for help. -- //Christian -- This is now. Later is later. -- Want to buy your Pack or Services from MandrakeSoft? Go to http://www.mandrakestore.com

Ah, so what's happening is that it's deleting the found Cache directory,
and then wants to look in the (now deleted) Cache directory to see if
there's another directory called Cache. I can see where that would cause
the error message in question.

I think it just might. :-) Thanks for the information!

Re: [expert] Mandrake kernel 2.4.19 royally screwed my sound
-BEGIN PGP SIGNED MESSAGE- Hash: SHA1 There should be no problems at all ESPECIALLY if you build your own 2.4.18 kernel. You will still have the 2.4.19 kernel there is you goof up 2.4.18 so you can try again. As it is you can select from a set of kernels for install during installation anyway. What you will get is a fully working supermount, fully working sound, and none of the other problems that came with the new improved 2.4.19 kernel. You will occassional run into a new stable kernel that's royally dorked up in several ways (2.4.19 is the latest), so it is nice to be able to go back to a perfectly fine working kernel like 2.4.18, in this case. I've had to do this periodically in the past, primarily due to supermount problems. I will not run a kernel that wont give me supermount. It is indispensible for a number of things, not the least is its complete convenience - besides, Linus has made it known that he likes it and ultimately intends to make it part of the kernel rather than have it forever as an extraneous patch. praedor On Friday 15 November 2002 11:59 am, Franki wrote: Are there any other probs that come about loading a 2.4.18 kernel in mdk9.0?? if there isn't, I might try compiling one myself..

Re: [expert] Mkinitrd Necessary for building kernel?
Not at all. it depends on how you configure your kernel. E.g., you use an ext3 partition bu yu don't compile support for ext3 directly into the kernel, but as a module; so you need an initrd to mount the partition at boot. Wooky Rick Friedman wrote: I've rebuilt my kernel and it works fine.(Now running 2.4.19). No problem on boot up... no problem at all. However, after rebuilding the kernel, I saw some other instructions that said it was necessary to create an initrd image. I hadn't done that and everything seems to be fine. However, curious person that I am, I went and ran mkinitrd and created the initrd image for the kernel. I then put the information into lilo.conf, ran lilo and rebooted. Everything booted fine... no problems... just as without the initrd image. My question is simply, is the initrd image necessary? What does it do? Is it supposed to speed up the boot process? I can't really see any difference in boot up. I know it's being loaded at boot up because I see message saying it's being loaded and then unloaded later during boot up.

Last line on display is: Sending all processes the KILL signal . . . CAD rattles the HD, but produces no visible result. I have to use the reset button or power switch to finish the shutdown, and that always forces fsck on next boot. If I do 'telinit 1' and 'umount -a -f' before 'reboot', the shutdown messages differ slightly, but fsck is still forced on reboot. If I never try to access share .../I, the system will shut down and reboot properly. I also have a box with Mandrake 8.2, and it has no problem accessing any z1590 shares. Same two boxes booted to windoze or OS/2 also have no problem. Any ideas on what the problem is and how to solve it are most welcome.

it's something quite specific. Try freshmeat or sourceforge. But you'll probabbly have to do it yourself. It will come out quite easily in Perl or bash methinks.

Re: [expert] How to recover RPM database?
I've seen others say this: rm -f /var/lib/rpm/__* ^^ \_ Did you really mean that (the underscores) or was it a typo? Toshiro $ rpm -ql rpm [..] /var/lib/rpm/__db.001 /var/lib/rpm/__db.002 /var/lib/rpm/__db.003 /var/lib/rpm/__db.004 These last files, iianm, are used as lock files when rpm is running. If rpm crashes or is exited uncleanly and they get left, they can screw up any rpm-related program. If rpm is not running, delete any of these files and rpm --rebuilddb to solve a number of package manager failures. Now I understand, very good explanation, thank you! Toshiro.

Re: [expert] Scripts or software to add many new users
Sounds like you need to learn shell script... I'm guessing that what you need could be accomplished with a few lines (20?) of code. Check out: man bash man adduser man groupadd That should get you started... (If you need some examples, try 'locate *.sh'--there are tons of them. Check out a few that seem to do something similar to what you're trying.) There are also some (many?) pages on the internet--try a search for 'bash programming'. I found two that look promising (in about 30 seconds): http://www.tldp.org/HOWTO/Bash-Prog-Intro-HOWTO.html http://mirrors.sunsite.dk/ldp/LDP/abs/html/ -Jason On Thursday 14 November 2002 05:56 pm, Patrick Atlas wrote: Hello, We are managing hundred of users on a network based on Netscape Exchange Server (mail, news and web).

Re: [expert] IPTABLES NAT script doesn't work in 9.0
Wooky, just a hunch here. But about 2 years ago we had this problem with a FreeBSD box. pinging sites worked fine but when we tried to ftp or http we got broken and hung sites. Turns out that the proxy set up on it set the Fragmentation config to 1500 don't fragment 1500 fragment... now if you notice there is nothing specified for 1500 So when we reset our boxes to 1471 (packet + 8bytes of ICMP header + 20 bytes packet data) pings went through... at 1472 they got popped into the land of confusion. Try this ping -s 1472 xxx.com and see what happens... play around a bit with this to find the range. But it sounds like to me it's blocking and or dropping large packets but letting small ones like a normal ping (56 + 8 or 64byte) packets through just fine. Normally ping -s 1472 xxx.com works but ping -s 1473 xxx.com gets dropped... BUT if the forget the equal on 1500 then 1471 is as large as you can go on the ping. The other chance is that it's blocking anything over 1500 MTU and as a result if your box is set with MTU 1500 and there is any overhead added it could well slow you down. or block you all together. (Do not fragment might do this) Reseting MTU size is something I'd have to look up... like I said it's been two years...

SainTiss told me that in the newbie list (thanks!). As I said, I can ping/resolve hosts fromthe client, but it does not transfer (large chunks of?) data. Weird. Perhaps it has smthing to do with msec? Define transfer. Does http work? Does ftp not work? Does rsync work? Does ssh work? I suspect that you need to modprobe the ip_conntrack_ftp and ip_nat_ftp modules. Humm not really. The modules get loaded (the script takes care of that). Basically I am interested in http and ftp. http/ftp transactions do not work properly; i.e, I can't download a full webpage, I can't ls in an ftp site. The packets simply do not arrive. This looks like a MTU/MRU/MSS related problem, BUT, what annoys me is that everything works fine in MDK 8.1. And the configuration is identical.
