I'd like to be able to log in from any of my pc's and be able to access all my files and the same from linux too. Is this possible? Also is it posible to set up both systems under a domain?

Re: [expert] Changes to the ps command
Albert E. Whale, CISSP writes: Guillaume Marcais wrote: Isn't it a move to behave accordingly to some POSIX standard? Which is probably out of the scope of Mandrake... Just a guess, Guillaume. POSIX and UNIX standards all agree that ps -ax is not valid. You may use ps -e for the (apparently) desired effect on any POSIX-conforming system. Fortunately, Linux ps will interpret ps ax as a BSDism. AIX and Tru64 also do this, but they won't guess you meant ps ax if you use ps -ax by mistake. You'd be completely out of luck on systems running a normal UNIX. It's like this: ps ax works on Linux, AIX, Tru64, and *BSD ps -ax works on *BSD only ps -e works on all UNIX and POSIX systems including NT, Linux, HP-UX, IRIX, UnixWare, OpenServer, OS/390 OpenEdition, AIX, Tru64, OpenUnix, Sinix, CX/UX, PowerMAXX, DYNIX/pts... I'm leaving out Solaris, because it has both a pure UNIX ps in /bin and a BSD one in /usr/ucb. Normally the UNIX ps is used. But wait! On a Linux box, you can do this: PS_PERSONALITY=bsd export PS_PERSONALITY (or for a csh user, setenv PS_PERSONALITY bsd might do the trick... but csh is defective anyway) For anyone that writes scripts, this functionality destroys anyone's credibility as all of the ps processing commands now depict the following message: The change is particularly important for script writers! Consider what ps is REQUIRED to do if you run ps -aux on a system with a user named x. According to the POSIX and UNIX standards, that command asks that ps print: 1. all processes with a TTY, except session leaders 2. all processes belonging to user x If the Linux ps sees that user x doesn't exist, then it throws away the - and reparses the command line. The second time around, ps aux parses correctly. Now suppose your script gets out into the wild or ends up being an important part of some business. Somebody creates a user called x. Ouch!

Re: [expert] Configuring apcupsd
Anne, I am presently running apcupsd, and if I recall, it required nothing more than rpm -Uvh acp.rpm on my 7.2 box. It has been running since '01 without a hickup. The trick is to figure out what information your APC box will deal out. (Whether it is a smart APC or not) Then just set (or play around with the UPS type in the config to get the maximum amount of info) The type of cable and the pin assignments are an issue, but there is plenty of info on this on the web. Good luck! I'd tell you more, but I haven't had to dork with it in years and Altzheimers is taking its toll.

The former version is quite less complicate to setup and so you can try by chance in the apcupsd config file to find out which cable you have. Yes, I'm on serial. Other suggestion is to get apcupsd source code from apcupsd.org. There you'll get apctest. And then you may play out with apcupsd 3.10. Sorry if I couldn't help more.

Re: [expert] urpmi problem
Praedor Atrebates said: I am trying to update/upgrade my KDE to the texstar 3.1.3 rpms. When I run urpmi kdebase kdelib kdegraphics kdenetwork it downloads about half of the required rpms (dependencies) but then craps out with: Installation failed, some files are missing: [snip] You may want to update your urpmi database I DID update my database. I just did it again, just now, and ran the same command again - yet I get the same mess above. How do I get past this? They MUST exist as it is in the list the urpmi itself generates based on what exists in the first place. This is the error that urpmi always gives when it fails to find all of the RPMs in the cache that it was expecting. This can be the result of one of three factors - urpmi.update had not been run first (we can rule that one out here), the RPM didn't exist on the server (unlikely, but it occasionally happens when the hdlist.cz file on the server has not been properly updated), or one or more of the download attempts failed. This last is probably what happened here; as each download is a separate access to the server, some of them may have occured at a moment when the server had reached its maximum number of allowed clients, in which case those connect attempts would have been rejected, while subsequent ones may have succeeded just fine. This behavior can be mitigated somewhat by using wget with urpmi, rather than curl (which is urpmi's default downloader). Try: urpmi --wget kdebase kdelib kdegraphics kdenetwork You'll get more feedback on the connection process, so you'll be more able to determine what's going wrong here. I have the urpmi command aliased to urpmi --wget on my system, and urpmi.update is similarly aliased.

RE: [expert] SVG for Linux
You might try Mozilla 1.5 beta. IIRC the SVG viewer is compiled with GCC 3.2 so you need a version of Mozilla compiled with that to get it to work. 1.5 is the first Mozilla to be released compiled under 3.2 David -Original Message- From: Alan Wilter Sousa da Silva [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] Sent: Thursday, August 28, 2003 11:32 AM To: [EMAIL PROTECTED] Subject: [expert] SVG for Linux Hi List!

List, I need to know how to write a shell script that ftps a couple of files up each day. Any one have any ideas? Tim This should help you get started. Just modify the following to suit your needs and run it from a cron job. #!/bin/bash ftp -n -v ftpserveradress EOF user username password binary# or ascii cd remotedir mget filename # or mput quit EOF Be warned that the password is stored in plain text in this script, so if you're not connecting to an anonymous ftp server, you put your password at risk using this method. If you need a secure transfer, man sftp. It allows a batch file that contains the commands (similar to the above) and can be run non-interactively. -- Thomas K.

RE: [expert] SVG for Linux
I'm afraid to say that's not the solution. I did 'mozilla example.html' and got it: LoadPlugin: failed to initialize shared library /usr/lib/adobesvg/libNPSVG3.so [libgtksuperwin.so: cannot open shared object No such file or directory] Methinks libgtksuperwin.so is the culprit, since such file is not present in mozilla distribution since version 1.2, I guess. I'll still look for a solution, hoping someone can anticipate me. Cheers, On Thu, 28 Aug 2003, JOHAM,DAVID (HP-Boise,ex1) wrote: You might try Mozilla 1.5 beta.

[expert] Problems with nvidia acceleration!
Hi everyone! Before i had glx and mesa working fine and i could use it with kde's screen savers that uses glx. Lately i have noticed that mesa does not work any more. I have checked my configuration and it seems to be correct. I have also reinstalled the nvidia driver. I am using 9.1 with all updates installed. I have also updated my kernel to the latest. Anyone have an idea what could be wrong? Magnus. Want to buy your Pack or Services from MandrakeSoft? Go to http://www.mandrakestore.com

Anyone have an idea what could be wrong? 1) The Nvidia driver replaces the Mesa libraries with its own GLX version. 2) If you updated the kernel, you must reinstall the Nvidia drivers after that, to create the module that will work with that kernel. To do this, you will need to install the corresponding kernel-source RPM first. 3) Fix the date on your system (see attribution line above).

[expert] ML9.1: Why difference between screen position of ML8.2 and ML9.1 with same settings in xvidtune -show ?
I have two linux OSes on my computer: ML8.2 and ML9.1. I notice that the screen position of [EMAIL PROTECTED] is different although xvidtune -show show the same settings and the same monitor has been choosen in Monitor setup (I don't have a modeline in XF86Config-4, it's just one automatically made by X with the DDC Monitor info). In ML9.1 (XFree4.3) the screen is horizontally a bit too large such that maximal opened windows loose part of their sides. I can correct this in ML9.1 by using xvidtune but I don't like changing the default modeline and if I use the On Screen Display of my monitor to adjust the screen ML8.2 (XFree4.2) looks too small. Why don't the screens of ML8.2 and ML9.1 use the same monitor space as the settings as shown in xvidtune -show are the same? What other parameters play a role in here and is it possible to set the screens exactly the same? Thank you, vatbier Want to buy your Pack or Services from MandrakeSoft?
