[expert] urpmi.addmedia and urpmi.update - long
After having worked for a while, urpmi seems to be dead again, for no immediately obvious reasons. Here is what I had done until now, way back when, before it even worked the first time: - disabled supermount (the obvious): # supermouont -i disable - commented out the line #passive_ftp=on in /etc/wgetrc ... and this is how I had it running for a while. Now I am trying to update sources by adding a Contrib section, by doing a: # urpmi.addmedia -h Contrib ftp://ftp.mirror.ac.uk/sites/sunsite.uio.no/pub/unix/Linux/Mandrake/Mandrake/9.0/contrib/RPMS and here is what I get: added medium Contrib examining synthesis file [/var/lib/urpmi/synthesis.hdlist.Installation CD 1 (x86) (cdrom1).cz] examining synthesis file [/var/lib/urpmi/synthesis.hdlist.Installation CD 2 (x86) (cdrom2).cz] examining synthesis file [/var/lib/urpmi/synthesis.hdlist.International CD (x86) + documentation (cdrom3).cz] examining synthesis file [/var/lib/urpmi/synthesis.hdlist.International CD (x86) + documentation (cdrom4).cz] examining synthesis file [/var/lib/urpmi/synthesis.hdlist.Commercial Apps CD 1 (cdrom5).cz] examining synthesis file [/var/lib/urpmi/synthesis.hdlist.Commercial Apps CD 2 (cdrom6).cz] examining synthesis file [/var/lib/urpmi/synthesis.hdlist.Supplementary application CD (x86) (cdrom7).cz] examining synthesis file [/var/lib/urpmi/synthesis.hdlist.Supplementary application CD (x86) (cdrom8).cz] examining synthesis file [/var/lib/urpmi/synthesis.hdlist.update_source.cz] retrieving description file of Contrib... retrieving source hdlist (or synthesis) of Contrib... retrieve of source hdlist (or synthesis) failed no hdlist file found for medium Contrib examining synthesis file [/var/lib/urpmi/synthesis.hdlist.Contrib.cz] problem reading synthesis file of medium Contrib unable to update medium Contrib I checked - and the site I am trying to use for Contrib has a file: synthesis.hdlist2.cz file, which I am hoping to find via the -h parameter fed into the urpmi.addmedia.

[expert] Damnable RPM building...any way to continue?
Failing to find src rpms for KDE 3.0.5 for mandrake, I had to resort to Redhat 8.0 src rpms. I can get around the differences without too much difficulty except for one brain-dead feature of RPM. A feature that I hope I am wrong about and someone will correct me. I just spent about an hour trying to build a kdelibs-3.0.5 src rpm. It was almost finished but then crapped out because of a kdoc problem. Rant Building an RPM should NOT be dependent upon noncritical issues like documents or other nonintegral froo-froo. Perhaps Mandrake could FIX Redhat's broken RPM by making it more fault tolerant so that rpm builds can be completed inspite of missing or failing a noncritical portion (like doc generation)?! /Rant OK, that said, my build attempt died when qt2kdoc was trying to run to convert, I believe, qtdocs into kdocs: qt2kdoc /doc/html There IS no /doc directory which is what I suspect the problem was. I am still unable to find the file that tells the make process to look for qt docs in /doc/html but that is besides my point. Is there a way to continue an rpm build rather than have to start all over again? It was DONE compiling and was simply doing extraneous froo-froo tidying up before creating/writing the rpms.

[expert] Game Uplink do anything?
Before I replaced my Radeon graphics card with an NVidia, I was unable to run many games (Tuxracer, uplink, bzflag, and the like). Now I can however, now that I can start uplink, I get no where and have no idea what it is supposed to do. I start uplink, the screen blanks for a moment, I get info about trying to contact the uplink public server (ppp0 traffic spikes for a bit) then nothing. Uplink shuts down without so much as an error message or beep. What does it take to get uplink to do anything at all? I am looking for something to do for the frickin hours it will take to try to rebuild kdelibs again and wonder what uplink is like. praedor Want to buy your Pack or Services from MandrakeSoft?

Re: [expert] Mandrake and USB camera confusion
Todd, I assume you mean by upgrade to use the cd1 9.0 install disk. I'll try removing gphoto2 rpms as you said. Here's the post you asked for. Sorry it's so long. Update- tried to remove gphoto2 in rpmdrake, but it said a bunch of kde packages needed to be removed, so I opted out. Anyway, rpmdrake now works again. I can't be sure how, or why, except I had removed all those entries for the digital camera trip. I removed and installed another smaller package as a test. It was incredibly slow. It seems to hang with my cdrom blinking in patterens of 9 blinks for about 3-4 minutes. Then the tray opens, and asks for the cd, as normal. I'm using a Lite on 48x12x48 cd burner as the cdrom on this machine, and the 9 blink hang up doesn't happen on my backup machine with a regular cdrom drive, and a standard 9.0 installation. Apparently, this has something to do with the cd burner doubling as the cdrom drive. Is there any way to correct this huge slow down? It's as if it's going through some long involved and unnecessary procedure before rpmdrake can install/remove anything.

[expert] IP look for
Hi experts. I need to know if there is a way of knowing the IP address of my home computer across the net. What i mean is that if i'm in the work and call to my home so they turn on the box, how can i do it to know from my work the IP address. I know the first 2 IP numbers(XXX.XXX.NNN.NNN, the X are the known numbers) so is there a way of scaning the remaining address so i can look for the one that accepts ssh connections??? if there is a way IS IT LEGAL??? The thing is that i cannot ask for someone in my home to look for the IP because: 1st I don't want to give access to them 2nd The person that's on my home all the time dosn't know how to work with a computer.

I can get around the differences without too much difficulty except for one brain-dead feature of RPM. A feature that I hope I am wrong about and someone will correct me. I just spent about an hour trying to build a kdelibs-3.0.5 src rpm. It was almost finished but then crapped out because of a kdoc problem. Rant Building an RPM should NOT be dependent upon noncritical issues like documents or other nonintegral froo-froo. Perhaps Mandrake could FIX Redhat's broken RPM by making it more fault tolerant so that rpm builds can be completed inspite of missing or failing a noncritical portion (like doc generation)?! /Rant I dunno if I can agree with that. One thing I like about RPM is that it makes it easy to reproduce an identical package from the SRC rpm. If it continued then there's too much room for error when publishing an RPM. OK, that said, my build attempt died when qt2kdoc was trying to run to convert, I believe, qtdocs into kdocs: qt2kdoc /doc/html There IS no /doc directory which is what I suspect the problem was. I am still unable to find the file that tells the make process to look for qt docs in /doc/html but that is besides my point. Is there a way to continue an rpm build rather than have to start all over again? It was DONE compiling and was simply doing extraneous froo-froo tidying up before creating/writing the rpms. If I do an rpm --rebuild or rpm -bb kdelibs.spec, I am stuck starting over from scratch from untarring to reconfiguring to rebuilding. Is there a way to resume a build? You can use the --short-circuit option to start the skip to a different section of the specfile. I've only used it a couple times and it depends on what gets cleaned up.

In the case of kdelibs, RedHat exports a variable called QTDIR that's
used as a predicate for /doc/html. When expanded it will point to
/usr/lib/qt3-gcc3.2/doc/html. Because Mandrake doesn't export this
variable it expands to /doc/html, which doesn't exist. To build kdelibs
it does require qt-devel (which owns ${QTDIR}/doc/html) so on a RedHat
system the spec can rightly assume that the directory exists. One major
benefit of RPM is that each package doesn't have to do all the
dependency checking itself. To require the spec file to check that each
dependent package is correctly installed would defeat the main benefit
of RPM.

I would think the second invocation of ta to produce:

but it doesn't. Is there something I don't understand?
I think the error you're getting is from when/where the positional
parameters are expanded:
If you do
alias foo='echo x $1 y $2 z $3'
foo a b c
You'll get
xyz abc
This is because it doesn't know about the positionals and is just doing:
echo x $1 y$2 z $3 abc
To get around this you can use a sourced function:
function foo{
echo x $1 y $2 z $3
}
You can put this in your .bash_profile or .bashrc to be available
anytime.

Re: [expert] IP look for

You can register your own dynamic dns name, and have a client running on your box to update the DNS record on their server, that way you dont need your box's ip address.

Re: [expert] second mouse ?
I used the info below to get my usb mouse working in Mdk 8.2 : The following lines in my XF86Config-4 file allowed me to use both a USB mouse and the mousepad in my laptop with mandrake 8.2. However it doesn't work in mandrake 9, only the usb mouse works. I believe you need to add a line to your Server Layout section. You will already have a line for Mouse1, just add a line for Mouse2 and use the SendCoreEvents as below. Section ServerLayout Identifier layout1 InputDevice Keyboard1 CoreKeyboard InputDevice Mouse1 CorePointer InputDevice Mouse2 SendCoreEvents Screen screen1 EndSection This will have Mouse2 just send it's events to Mouse1, and let both of them work.

Then again I'm running the manually installed 1.2.1 from Mozilla.org now. They're also duplicated (probably for multiple username reasons) in /usr/lib/mozilla1.1/plugins. Does any of this help? http://www.mozilla.org/htdig-cgi/htsearch Regards; -- Charlie Edmonton,AB,Canada Registered user 244963 at http://counter.li.org Matrimony is the root of all evil.

Re: [expert] second mouse ?
Hi all, just wanted to say I got mine working by adding that line, with one change... My XF86Config-4 File now reads at the top: Section "ServerLayout" Identifier "XFree86 Configured" Screen 0 "Screen0" 0 0 InputDevice "Keyboard0" "CoreKeyboard" InputDevice "PS/2 Mouse" "CorePointer" InputDevice "USB Mouse" "SendCoreEvents" Since my second mouse is a USB type. The scroll function even works =) Under Input Devices it looks like: Section "InputDevice" Identifier "USB Mouse" Driver "mouse" Option "Device" "/dev/input/mice" Option "SendCoreEvents" "true" Option "Protocol" "IMPS/2" Option "ZAxisMapping" "4 5" Option "Buttons" "5" EndSection Hope this helps anyone who has the same trouble as I can now use my touchpad and usb mouse at the same time.

Re: [expert] second mouse ?
Myabe define 2 different layouts, thats the way i do it on my laptop (still not tested on mdk9) This should work, providing both of your mice at working separatly.

[expert] Camera and sceen colours ok - printer not. Help!
I am trying to get my printer to print so the output colours are as they appear on my Canon Powershot A40 and on screen. My printer is an Epson C62 Everything appears shifted towards red. I have tried using Gimp to adjust it but know nothing about what I should alter. I believe some printers can use a photo cartridge but don't know if that is true of mine or if that would cure the problem. I am running Mandrake 9.0 kernel 2.4.19 and using gtKam as the interface to gphoto2. Does anyone have any ideas please? tia, norm -- Noose Head? Lambs Slaughter? Lemmings Cliff? Link?
