Re: [expert] FinePix S304 usb camera - latest attempt of many
Anne, Have you tryed with a Smartmedia card? I have a Fuji finePix S602Zoom that has the possibility to use bot: xD or Smartmedia cards; I just have tryed with Smartmedia and runs like a charm.

Make sure everything plugged in and powered on, to enable detection. Half way down boot-up messages, one that said (as best I can remember) mount: fs type umask=0 not supported by kernel During hardware detection it hung. After about 5 minutes I switched the camera off, and saw a message about disconnecting 'device 6', I think it was. I am out of my depth here. Can someone please tell me to what extent things are functioning correctly, and give me any pointers as to whether the problem can be tackled, or whether it indicates lack of kernel support for this device?

No, I never have tested xD, the camera came with a 16mb Smartmedia and i added a 128Mb one, but I don have any xD to test; the camera has the slot to put one but no one coming with it.

Anne, I added a line in fstab like this: /dev/sda1 /mnt/camera auto user,noauto,nosuid 0 0 I must say that I have supermount disabled (9.0), I created a hd icon on kde selecting /dev/sda1 as device. Also I had to created the directory (mkdir -m 777 /mnt/camera) Under 9.1 rc2 a line similar was automatically added to fstab and into the removable media ico I could create the hd icon.

Re: [expert] Boycotting MDL
Support for what?: miles of inocent dead?, more prissioners to Guantanamo without any human righs?, more test of big destructive bombs?... The President of the Governement of Spain is in favour of the war, but I am free to refuse him; are you actually free? in fact you are in the country of the freedom, or. perhaps not?. Just a thing more; if you don't use Mandrake 9.1 because you are the most patriotic american, you will lost the possibility of use the best linux distribution nowadays. Poor Ric! Let me put it this way: I spent a number of years living in Europe, and Asia, because I so strongly disagreed with the things my govenrment was doing. I'm very near to doing the same thing again. I don't agree with what they are doing. I don't agree with the war. I feel that there are far greater threats to the world than Iraq, and issues of far greater importance within the US that need to be addressed, and our president is refusing to address them. That does not however defer my support for my country. It also does not make me forget who my friends are. Eric, none of this is targeted at you. I doubt that you, or I could sway the direction of things. I also doubt that my support (or lack of) for MDK would impact you, the person. My statement is targeted at Mandrakesoft. They want my support. The US needs Frances support. Pressure from one, can effect the other. Ric Ummm, Ric, what is Mandrakesoft's position on the possible war with Iraq? How do you know that they, Mandrakesoft, aren't in favor of it and lobbying their government to change it's position? You don't and neither do I. What I do know is that this is not the proper forum for this type of discussion. Someone, I don't remember who, has set up a list for OT discussions. That might be the more appropriate forum (and no, I am not another self proclaimed list moderator).

Re: [expert] Kodak Digital Camera and MDK9
It uses CompactFlash. OK, then you need to conect it as a scsi device, those are the step you should follow (I hope it will work for you): A) be sure the next modules are loaded (as root with lsmod): usb usb-core usb-storage ide-scsi If some of then are not loaded, you shoud probe them (modprobe usb-storage, for example); if not error message the next time you must install with insmod usb-storage (for the same example). B) It is a good idea to create a dir to mount the camera in: mkdir -777 /mnt/camera (for example; you can select other montage point if you like). C) conect the camera to the computer using the usb cable; put the camera in the position of download images (usually the same position to see in the visor the images, if you have one). D) The first time you should test as root the montage: mount -t auto /dev/sda1 /mnt/camera If everything has gone well, as root you can open konqueror, nautilus or other file-explorer and going to /mnt/camera see the images stored in the CompactFlash. You can now copy the images or avi files to any directory in you HD. ARemember to umount (umount /mnt/camera) E) If D has run for you, you can make a change in the /etc/fstab file to allow any user mount and umount /mnt/camera. For this add the next line inf /etc/fstab: /dev/sda1 /mnt/camera auto user,noauto,nosuid 0 0 Remember that a blank line should be at the end of the fstab file (add it if is needed). Now, still as root: mount -a And any user will be able to mount and umount the camera when conected. As I use KDE, it is easy create a new icon (create---new hd-- and select as montage point /dev/sda1), so you can mount and umount easily the cameras as a removable media.

[expert] First 9.1beta frustrating experience
Dear friends, After 13 hours I downloaded the beta1 and try to test it using my /dev/hdb13 partition that was previously using LiNeX (Linux distribution from the Extremadura Spanish community). But I have a real nightmare: a) My wheel mouse wasn't runing fine, in the selection packages I had to use the intro key. b) No possibility to cancel lilo installation (I liked to mantain the 9.0 lilo configuration and later add from 9.0 a new entry for 9.1beta). c) No X configured (nvidia geforce 4 and monitor Philips 107S); I try to do it but having supermount enabled the disk didn't mount in anyway. I try to dissable supermount (supermount -i disable) and activate the new fstab configuration (mount -a) but two partition that I have mounted for echange of files with 9.0 had XFS file system and there were an error: XFS not in enabled in the kernel :-(. After that I thought I could mount the cdroms by hand, but an error gives me to more frustation about too much system mounted, or file system error. d) I try to restart using my Mandrake 9.0 start disk, but then an error with file system appear for /dev/hdb13 (the partition with 9.1), telling that I do need a newer version of ext3 :-(. e) I started my computer from the Mandrake 9.0 first cdrom, start a new expert installation, just select the /dev/hdb13 partition and format it; then I restart and Mandrake 9 run fine from the floppy; I went to the Mandrake control center and lilo configuration; I didn't made any change, but clicking accept the 9.0 lilo configuration was again saved on the harddrive. I restart the computer and then the lilo 9.0 runs from the hd. Conclusion: I will reserv the cdrw with 9.1 beta 1 to save beta 2; I think I will not try again an installation until the next beta. :-( -- Francisco Alcaraz Ariza Departamento de Biología Vegetal Universidad de Murcia Campus de Espinardo E-30100 Murcia España (Spain) Want to buy your Pack or Services from MandrakeSoft?

But I have found two problems: 1) Quake III looks awfull; perhaps I need to select some special graphic characteristics; the videos and demos look very nice, but when I start to play the graphics are very bad. 2) With nvtv (tv-output) I can see the colors bars in my tv, but when I try to send the whole screen to the tv just a white screen.

Globalization in fact could be good if means help for the poorer peoples of the Earth and not more explotation, not multinationals enterprise eating small ones and eliminating the competence to make unique and very expensive products. The last that we need now is start again gun manufacturation, more polution to our environment and other things that Bush is predicating in favour all over the rich World. We must look for alternatives; I hope an united Europe could be, and Europe in favour of the 0.7%, open source software, solar energy, solidarity, richness redistribution and so one. Unfortunately, most of our nowadays Governement are of the right wing, even some of them named laborist or of the left-center :-( But we have linux in our computers and this is a clear bet for the freedom and solidarity.

[expert] xawtvdecode
Hello folks, I can reach to have the new xawdecode 1.3..4; under MDK 7.1 I had this package runing, but in 7.2, with the XFree86 of the 4 series the compilation was impossible. This new versions is adapted to kernel 2.4 series and XFree86 4.x; in fact it compiles fine, but when I try to start the sound is enabled but not the video; I have an error: File /root/.xawdecode/yuvtab10_16 not found .xawdecode is present but actually yuvtab10_16 not. :-( I have read all the ASCII files included, they tolk about a forum and a chat but they don't give the location of both. Could anyone help me? Note: xawtv and alevtv are runing fine in my computer, as well as Xine and Videoland, so is not a video problem but an installation problem of xawdecode.

[expert] Swat configuration
Dear Folks, I am trying to configure samba in a computer with MDK 8.0 and I have a problem ( I suppose I'll will have more, now I just starting). Under kernel 2.2.x to acced at SWAT we had to add some lines in the file /etc/inet.conf like this: swat stream tcp nowati.400 root /usr/local/samba/bin/swat swat The problems is that now I can't find the file inet.conf; in fact, using locate.. the file doesn't appear in any partition :-( If the file doesn't exist, What must I do to run SWAT? Are there others changes from 2.2.x kernel to activate samba under kernel 2.4.x? Thanks so much for your attention, have a nice day ^_^ -- Francisco Alcaraz Murcia (Spain)

Samba, samba. :-( Well, in my windows box I can see using the intranet, the icon of my linux box, (I have named it in samba Linuxbox, very occurent!, isn't it But when I try to open Linuxbox, it ask me for a password :-(?? My laptop using windows is named Falcarazpor, but I don't know how to enable a password. Do I need to have an user with the same name as my laptop (Falcarazpor) in the linux box?

Re: [expert] Mandrake 8.0 Voodoo DRI
John the problem is not with xdm, that also works fine, but kdm, an equivalent to xdm created to KDE. BDW, how did you do the change? (I would like to learn more linux ^_^) See you El Jue 03 May 2001 13:13, escribiste: I can recreate the same. I have switched to using GDM as my login manager and everything works just fine. It appears that the problem is casued somehow by xdm. An earlier message explaind how to always use gdm instead of xdm, but it did involve hardcoding a file instead of just switching kde to gdm in /etc/sysconfig/desktop. -- Francisco Alcaraz Murcia (Spain)
Re: [expert] Mandrake 8.0 Voodoo DRI
Thanks John. BDW, I have sent a message to kde informing about the bug in kdm; I hope they improve that excelent windows manager for linux. See you _ Francisco Alcaraz Murcia (Spain) El Jue 03 May 2001 14:20, escribiste: Sorry, that's what I meant kdm.anyway I edited /etc/X11/prefdm and made the following change: preferred= if [ -f /etc/sysconfig/desktop ]; then . /etc/sysconfig/desktop /dev/null 21 [ -n $DISPLAYMANAGER ] DESKTOP=$DISPLAYMANAGER if [ $DESKTOP = GNOME -o $DESKTOP = Gnome ]; then preferred=gdm elif [ $DESKTOP = KDE -o $DESKTOP = KDE1 -o $DESKTOP = KDE2 ]; then preferred=/usr/bin/gdm elif [ $DESKTOP = AnotherLevel ] ; then preferred=/usr/X11R6/bin/gdm fi fi Notice in the last two preferred statements I changed kdm to gdm. this was documented in an email from someone else whose name escapes me about four days ago, so he should get the credit for this fix. He did note that although this is not the preferred method for affecting this fix it does work. -- Francisco Alcaraz Murcia (Spain)

I don't know enough linux init to be sure, but it seems that the messages are related to the ip masquering; if this is true I can't understand, because ip-masquering runs fine and I can conect my Toshiba laptop to my man computer and use the cable-modem conected to the big computer from both, the laptop and the big one. Simply, I would like to know exactly was the error means and if it is possible erase the sad face :-( in the aurora screen. And, of course, learn something new about linux. Thanks a lot for your kind attention, yours sincerely I believe these messages are artifacts of the changeover from ipchains to iptables, and of the kernel itself which has working iptables but with some oddities.

Re: [expert] Re: Are you sure that IP Virtual Server is supported by the kernel
Civileme, the file was /etc/rc.d/init.d/lvs; I commented some lines and now not more error messages in startup ^_^ MDK 8.0 look great now, not errors, true graphic acceleration, Usb Scanner, DVD (xine and videoland runs fine using xvideo), ip-maskering, printers, cable-modem, sound. What more could I ask for! :-( Yeah!, the pcmcia ethernet card in the laptop (Ovislink fast ethernet), but is very difficult (nobody in the world seemed to have reached that); perhaps change to a clearly compatible with linux. The happyness never could be complete, could it? See you, thanks for your attention; I look forward to hearing from you and crashtesters runing again ^_^ __ Francisco Alcaraz Murcia (Spain) El Jue 03 May 2001 16:56, escribiste: On Thursday 03 May 2001 19:18, you wrote: Actually I don't understand to much Civileme but, Is there any way to make the error message dissapear? There is always a way to make a bootup error message disappear unles it is direct from the kernel. Most such messages are generated by initscripts. To find where yours is omig from fairly rapidly, get into a terminal, su to root, cd to /etc/rc.d/ and # rgrep -i -l -r ipvsadm /etc/rc.d That should find you yht call or calls that might be generating the error message. Comment out the appropriate lines (watch that you don't break loops, either take them out or leave them alone), and no more error messages. It is not necessarily a good practice to do this--usually error messages mean something important, but sometimes they are spurious as this one appears to be. Big snip of previous message Civileme
Re: [expert] Mandrake 8.0 Voodoo DRI
John, I sent a message to the bug support of XFree86, an automatical answer said that they are studing the problem and they will communicate to me sooner o later ; Guillaume said also that hi has sent the information to the person in Mandrake that works with the X. As soon that I had messages from they I'll e-mail you and, I think, also the expert list because probably there are more user of linux with a Voodoo that perhaps could think they have a installation or a hardware problem. So I will get in touch El Mar 01 May 2001 15:09, escribiste: Great, let me know if there is anything I can do to help. -- Francisco Alcaraz Murcia (Spain)
Re: [expert] Mandrake 8.0 Voodoo DRI
John, I have the same problems in 8.0, nor in 7.2; but in beta 2 and beta 3 I had it also; it seems a problem with XFree86 4.0..2 and 4.0.3, because using xine and videoland with xvideo activated (a way to use directly the graphic hardware without XFree86) I can get full screen. Ah! is not a problem with DRI, because programs that don't use DRI, like clanbomber, heretic II or pingus also crashes X. Perhaps we should communicate the problem to the XFree team, but we must be sure this is the cause of the X crashes! --- Francisco Alcaraz Murcia (Spain) El Lunes 30 Abril 2001 22:29, escribiste: Has anyone experienced any weirdness with 8.0 and a voodoo3 using DRI? I just did a vanilla install and have noticed that if I try to change resolutions with DRI running the xserver restarts, also if I try to run a program that uses DRI like Quake3 or Chromium in full-screen the xserver restarts. I swaped video cards and ended up having to go back to 7.2 to be able to use DRI correctly.
Re: [expert] Mandrake 8.0 Voodoo DRI
John, have you try with games that don't use the DRI, like clanbomber or pingus, they also crashes X due to the full screen!!!, but your experiment dissabling DRI seems to be a very good clue, perhaps those games I mentioned before don't use DRI, but if it is activated DRI is the responsible of the resolution change and because that it hangs X. Very good experiment! according to the scientific method :-). I think the conclusions are very solid; I will send this message also to Guillaume Cottenceau, he said me that I was using a Voodo3 3000 (exactly the same that the mine) with XFree86 4.0.3 without problems; I thought that I could have a special problem due to my hardware, but the last messages are showing that the problem is generalizated with XFree86 4.0.3 (and I had the problem also in beta 2 with 4.0.2) and Voodoo3 3000 (also probably with 2000). I hope Guillaume could give as the way to solve the problem or the way to communicate it to XFree86 team. If some of us find the solution, this list could be a goog meeting point. See you soon --- Francisco Alcaraz Murcia (Spain) El Martes 01 Mayo 2001 00:44, escribiste: You're right. This is what I've done thus far to try to isolate the problem: Problem: When changing resolutions X server crashes and restarts. when loading Quak3 xserver crashes and restarts. when loading Chroimium in windowed mode everything works fine including DRI, when Chromium is switched to fullscreen mode, X server crashes and restarts. Tests made: 1. Switched card with another known good Voodoo3. Same problem. 2. Commented our Load DRI from /etc/X11/XF86Config-4. Can switch resolutions without X server crashing, however Quake runs EXTRMEMLY slow becasue there is no DRI device to use. 3. Remove DRI comment and problem returns 4. Comment Load GLX from XF86Config-4. Problem persists. This may not be the best troubleshooting in the world, but it convinced me that the DRI in X 4.0.3 is what was causing my problems. Not to say that DRI is not working, because Chromium will work in windowed mode. More specifically I think the problem is that changing resolutions while using DRI is what is casuing the crash. This can be seen from step 2 above. what do you think?
