 After you do the CTRL-z, type bg and the 'job' will continue in the
 background. Type fg and you can bring the job back into the foreground again.

[expert] Netmeeting server

2002-11-25 Thread Franki
Hi guys,

I am just starting to look into starting a netmeeting server for our
companies tech guys to communicate...

netmeeting seems to be the go because the requisite OS's have clients
available..

my problems are as follows..

1. total inexperiance in netmeeting and H323 :-)
2. Some of the workstations that will be client are NAT machines.. ie they
don't have public IP's.
3. one office is 5000km away from the rest.. so this is a good reason to use
netmeeting over the net in and of itself.

Now I'm researching this on google now.. and there are netmeeting howtoos
available, but I thought I'd ask here before I go looking into generic
solutions, as if there is an easy way on mandrake9.0 and I don't use it..
I'll kick myself later.

Can anyone help me out here??

basically I would like any of the netmeeting clients to log onto our central
netmeeting server and be able to see/chat/collaborate in an easy transparent
fashion..

Is it possible?

 Mine (Mandrake 9.0) actually says /usr//etc/man.config. Which by

 Huh? I type

 and I get zero files, because /usr/etc is empty on my machine. Where
 did you pick up that convention?

Emacs, actually. It's a convention at the application level, not at
the file system. So if the application doesn't support it, it doesn't
support it.

I suspect what's actually happened in this case is that the
configuration has replaced the default location with /etc/man.config
in the binary (so the binary doesn't support the above convention),
but *appended* it in the man page (because the man build script gets
it wrong). However, simply being aware this sort of thing can happen
makes it much easier to read the thing correctly :-)

 However, the Mandrake 8.2 man comes with the manpath command:
 manpath - determine user's search path for man pages
 
 So you can simplify all this to:
 MANPATH=`manpath`:/new/dir/goes/here
 
 Yes, I could do that. However, the only reason I am playing with
 MANPATH at all is that I have developed some bash functions to swap
 versions of Perl. I modify PATH to get at the one I want. I was also
 modifying MANPATH. I may just decide to just use perldoc instead. Or
 maybe not. Depends on how much I want to muck around. I have real
 work to do to.

Well, if you want to replace your MANPATH with the default value, and
then append something to it:

unset MANPATH
MANPATH=`manpath`:/new/dir/goes/here

But that'll upset anybody who's modified it from the value you last
set it to.

Much better to:


case :$MANPATH: in
  ::) MANPATH=`manpath`:$NEWPERL/man ;;
  :$OLDPERL/man:) MANPATH=`echo $MANPATH | \
sed 's/$OLDPERL\/man/$NEWPERL\/man/'` ;;
  *) MANPATH=$MANPATH:$NEWPERL/man ;;

Re: [expert] crossover plugin

2002-11-25 Thread Mohand Talanana
Hi,

For me every thing works fine.

In principle when you install crossover, a directory called plugins 
is automatically created
in ~/.mozilla or ~/.netscape directory (it depends on the browser 
you installed).

As your installation is done as root therefore this plugins directory 
is installed
as /root/.mozilla/plugins (or in  ~/.netscape).

Once these things verified, copy that directory (I mean 
/root/.mozilla/plugins) to
any normal user home directory. Now, every thing should go all right.

Good luck,

Muhend

IIRC though, when I first installed it - it explicitly gave me a warning

Mandrake Linux release 9.1 (Cooker) for i586

It's been sayin that for over a month now.  Ya know I wouldn't 
remember till just after I hit the send button, but there's another 
variable in how I added the new HDD and formatted ext3. At the time it 
was a very recent 9.0 install, very few cooker rpms at that point. So I 
saved my /home/tom/, and did an expert-reinstall and used diskdrake to 
setup the new drive during the install.  Still haven't gotten around to 
installing Windoze in the fat32 partition I made ;  I used ext3 'cause 
I've got d/l RedHat 8.0 CD's, but I haven't gotten around to those 
either ;)

There's a bunch of us usin 9.1 cooker as our daily driver. Except 
for a few minor glitches that have never lasted more'n a day till the 
next updates are on the mirrors, I've found it to be just as solid as a 
stock 9.0 install, but with a better XFree86 4.2.1 (some 3d/accel for 
nVidia cards with the open source driver) and KDE 3.1rc3 (very nice).

Re: [expert] gcc that can't build executables?

2002-11-25 Thread James Sparenberg
Nailed it... had to re-install rpms for gcc and poof it re-appeared in
working form (yes I could manually find g++ but it wasn't working right
for reasons beyond me.)  So anjunta 1.0.0 built.  Oh and my original
problem was with 0.9.99 ... that one still gives the same error.  I'm
putting it down to a bad build on their part and moving one thanks all
for the help.

 complaining about there being no cpp (but there was).  All I did was create a

 Did you install all the relevant gcc packages?

You can test the functionality of your changes yourself without having

Try passing noacpi to the kernel.  APM is the first generation power
management hardware/software.  ACPI is the second generation power
management hardware/software.  If the system boots with ACPI enabled, it
automatically disables APM.  See if passing noacpi to the kernel (at the

your system to power down properly.

This is off the top of my head.  I've not delved deeply into this.

A *lng* time ago (8.0 days I think), GPM was goofing up the scrolling in
Konqueror. I never had a problem with Mozilla though. I fixed it by turning
it off in /etc/sysconfig/mouse by setting the line wheel=yes to wheel=no.

This might fix the scrolling problem...

Not sure this is totally correct. True in that ACPI function is not

I've tested two motherboards with acpi and the apmd program works fine 
with these motherboards. The motherboards used were 1. Abit KG7-Raid 
and  2. Abit VP6. Both systems will go into suspend and shutdown fully 
and correctly. I should state that the Abit VP6 will when not booting 
with the smp kernel as apm is turned off in this kernel as not being safe.

[expert] modem card seen by lspci but no ttySx created by devfs

It founds my 2 onboard serial ports, but not the modem. I know from an other

I've had no other problems with these 3 comps (like during installation) but 
I'll try that to see if helps with powering down the other 2 comps.

BTW, I got the Shuttle motherboard on Civileme's recommendation - he said 
that Shuttle seemed to follow standards better than a lot of other companies 
- I don't know if this is still true or not. Motherboard compatibility seems

My point is that with 9.0, Mandrake seems to be paying less attention to

attract.  Don't get me wrong; I'm a strong Mandrake supporter; but at
least one release in every major release (since 6.x) are less new user

Hi All,

I am trying to use artsrec and artscat to record and playback sound in KDE3, Mandrake 9. 

I could succesffully record and playback in GNOME using ESound and it's utilitiesesdrec and esdcat.

In KDE artscat works but artsrec recorded files are completely silent. I have my mic (recording source) and Input Gain set to full using KMix.

Anyone has any suggestions, ideas, comments?

Yup...  the other day I deleted update_source to resolve this problem;

Well...  if I don't give a name, it complains about 8.2:

I tried moving the 8.2 file out of /var/lib/urpmi but that didn't help

Re: [expert] Does cooker 9.1 correct i845(x) IDE problems?

2002-11-25 Thread James Sparenberg
i845 being intel's latest chipset is part of the problem.  It's causing
problems I'm told with WinXP for some as well.  I do remember some
discussion on the cooker list about the time it got unfrozen (from the
9.0 release.) on this and the discussion may have been taken offlist.
(however with as busy as that list is... they could still be discussing
it and I'd miss it :) )  But there might be something there.. I've also
seen some stuff in the kernel mailing list.  But since I only read what
relates to me now... I didn't pay attention.

 saved my /home/tom/, and did an expert-reinstall and used diskdrake to 
 setup the new drive during the install.  Still haven't gotten around to 
 installing Windoze in the fat32 partition I made ;  I used ext3 'cause 
 I've got d/l RedHat 8.0 CD's, but I haven't gotten around to those 
 either ;)

Just a note... If you want to load RedHat with Reiser just partition and
do mkreiserfs under MDK ... then install RH to the drive... it will work
with and use the reiserfs  it just won't let you create reiserfs. 
(It will let you use any desktop of your choice as long as it's blue and
damned if they will tell you how to replace anything.  So much for the
choice Linux is supposed to provide.)

 There's a bunch of us usin 9.1 cooker as our daily driver. Except 
 for a few minor glitches that have never lasted more'n a day till the 
 next updates are on the mirrors, I've found it to be just as solid as a

printer. All was ok. I could print from my workstation (LM 8.1) to the 
server-side remote printer via CUPS  my network. 

So, I decided to raise the security level of the server using the Mandrake 
Control Center (from Standard to Higher). All went ok for raising the 
security level! Then I tried printing to the remote server printer. 

The job would appear in the client-side CUPS WWW Admin page and then 
disappear as if being properly accepted by the remote server-side CUPS 
server. However, the server-side CUPS server never showed the print job. 
NADA, Zilch, zero!

So, I lowered the server's security to Standard from Higher and the 
ability to remote print via CUPS resumed. I then tried a security level of 
High. CUPS remote printing was ok. I then raised it to Higher again. CUPS 
remote printing was broken, again.

According to the Mandrake Center, a security level of Higher is best for 
servers. I found that a very high security level BREAKS CUPS remote (via 
network) printing. So, a compromise is in order

Anyhow, I just wanted to share this item with everyone.

   Anyway, unless there is some implied version info, there is nothing

  One thing about urpmi that doesn't thrill me is that its configuration

 Configuration is in /etc/urpmi.  Data is in /var/lib/urpmi.
 

I agree in principle, but I also feel that if this were truly the case,
backing up and restoring /etc/urpmi/ or mailing someone an entry from
/etc/urmpi/urpmi.cfg should be enough to get a working system.

The text accompanying the MCC and installer msec settings should be
entered as a bug report :-) Level 4 is terribly difficult to use and
will break a great deal of stuff -- I wasted a day and a half last week
trying to figure out what was wrong with Nagios before realizing that
msec had broken ps for non-wheel users by chmod'ing /proc and figuring
out that the linux-secure kernel has capabilities turned on which broke
several monitors.

RE: [expert] Baffled on permissions

2002-11-25 Thread Franki
yeah, and if you are ssh'd in,, start it like this:

ssh -C -X hostname.domain

from your linux box..

then you can start mozilla and check it in a pretty gui :-)
(the X in that ssh command means to forward X, so when you start mozilla,
its display is forwarded to your ssh client..)
very handy, you can run mandrakeupdate and stuff like that as well...

until mandrake makes a robust console app for mandrakeupdate, I'll continue
to do it this way.

You can test the functionality of your changes yourself without having
to drive 50 miles to the site.  I'm assuming that the proxy server is
running on the firewall.  SSH to the box and edit /etc/lynx.cfg and make
it use the proxy on localhost.  Then you can check to see how the
changes you have instituted are working out using lynx.

RE: [expert] Mozilla 1.1

2002-11-25 Thread Franki
I'm using mozilla 1.2 and haven't yet noticed any significant differences...

except that it won't take themes for the older versions.. and that it has a
crash report feature so that crashes can send data back to mozilla.org for
testing..

still, its nice..

 There are some known bugs in Mozilla right now. I've had the same
 problem. The only solution is to reinstall Mozilla Main package and
 mozilla mail. Once you've done this all should be fine...

Jason,

Mozilla-1.0.1 still works real well. :) I haven't seen it yet, but is
there really all that much difference between 1.1 and 1.0.1?
