Re: [expert] ReiserFS
I have installed Linux-Mandrake 7.2 (inst and ext disks). Everything is OK, but one thing: how to use ReiserFS? SUSE 7.0 gives, while Once you have installed an ext2 install, you can still have reiser support by doing the following: http://kurt.andover.net/Reiser-filesystem-HOWTO.html Or do this: (Quote from Matt T. Yourst, on the reiser website http://www.namesys.com) "We'd first suggest you copy everything on your regular ext2 partition to the spare partition. If the spare is smaller than your original data, compress your whole partition into a tar.gz file on the spare partition. After making sure this worked correctly and all your files are there (and/or you have a good backup!), copy the /bin, /etc, /lib and /sbin directories (plus the mkreiserfs utility) to the spare partition. This is in preparation for booting off that partition so you can reformat the original ext2 partition as reiserfs. Next, make a boot diskette with a ReiserFS-enabled kernel on it (don't forget to run lilo on the diskette!) and make sure it works (so you won't get stuck with an unbootable system.) After booting this diskette, you should get a lilo: prompt. Enter "linux root=/dev/hd init=/bin/bash" at the lilo prompt. Your system should boot and stop at a bare bash "#" prompt. At the prompt (now off of your spare partition), try tar ztvf to test the backup archive if you did the compression step above (just to make sure you can get at your data still.) If you're convinced that you want to go ahead with the conversion, run mkreiserfs on your original ext2 partition, ERASING ALL DATA THERE (but you have the backup of course.) Then, mount the new partition somewhere as reiserfs and cd to the mount directory. Make sure the amount of free disk space is what you expected (just as a double check), and untar your backup archive to restore everything. At this point, your data is on ReiserFS and you should be able to rerun lilo (make sure your default kernel supports ReiserFS!) on your normal root partition to get the kernel set up again. Unmount all partitions and reboot. If everything goes as planned, Linux should say "VFS: Mounted root ... as reiserfs" at some point, and you should be all set. If the system doesn't boot, etc. you have your backup diskette and can just boot off the spare partition to fix things. Make sure you have the right ReiserFS-enabled kernel installed beforehand and all configuration files (especially lilo.conf) are up to date." Ron __ Do You Yahoo!? Yahoo!

Re: [expert] ext3, reiserfs, and MDK 7.x?
3. Am I right in thinking that once you are running ext2, there is no way to convert those volumes to reiserFS? That's right. Alexander Skwar This is a matter of how you look at it. If you have an ext2 partition, you can make that partition reserfs. The issue is that you copy the contents of the partition to a temp location, run mkresierfs, and copy the crap back. There are new and improved tools being developed now to make the transition easier. So, if someone were to ask ME, I would say yes, you can convert an ext2 to reiser, no problem. Also, reiser is a beta fs. Although I have run it for 6 months, I still do not put my file system on it. It is great, however for mass storage. Ext2 takes 22 minutes to do e2fsck on 2 15G drives, reiser takes 22 seconds! If you don't have a commercial system, and want that nervous, fuzzy feeling about using bleeding edge developments, go for it. Otherwise, just stick to the old ext2 and be happy.

Re: [expert] ext3, reiserfs, and MDK 7.x?
What exactly are the reasons that you would not trust reiserfs for a production system? It's not a matter of trust on my part - I trust it. It depends on what sort of "production" your are looking at. If I am providing a service for money, and my clients make money with that service, I have 5 reasons not to go into this type of production with reiser at this time: 1) liability (if the customer knows you are using a beta fs, and something happens.) 2) Customer perception (many customers like to know what you are operating, and would not like the idea behind using a "non-standard" filesystem)3) reiser has "issues" with raid. 4) performance slows after 85% usage (have to monitor usage) 5) and last, you really have to keep up with the patches - not good, considering the downtime to the customer. Do you know of any scenarios where reiserfs always fails? 1) qmail has problems (even with patch) 2) no streams support (for those who need it) 3) ide read starvation (I get this at times) But, like I said, I use it at home and I like it.

Re: SV: [expert] RPM Updates
Uh, no, I know what dependancies are unresolved. This is very simple. If you want to force an install, like I believe the guy was trying to do, you can do the method below - BUT WHEN YOU ALREADY KNOW WHAT THE DEPS ARE!! Also, If you think about it, if you try to install, say XFree. You do a rpm -Uhv *.rpm in the directory you have all your recently downloaded packages. Well, you are going to fail dependancies on packages that you will eventully install anyway, further down the list. So, once you check all the deps, and are sure you have all the packages, you can force them (remember, beta and cooker apps often do not go in without complaints). In fact, the SuSE update site often instructs the user to force packages. When testing beta, it is just sometimes necessary.

Re: [expert] There is no net phone for linux, period
Just to resound, the message below is perfectly accurate. So, to provide
this type of service, like a linux version of dialpad, one would have to
hack the client software, and provide routing to the PSTN Gateway on the
server end. There are several of these gateways that one would have to
contract. For example, Yahoo! and dialpad.com both use the same gateway.
You could, however, set up your own gateway. But, this would require a
VOIP setup, and an extensive amount of bandwitdth and PSTN trunking, not
to mention FCC (or the country's equivelant) licensing. You would
basically be a tandem switch. This is usually cost-prohibitive for most
basement hackers. As for the phonejack - yup, it's a sound card, but
dedicated to the service (i think it's a money maker - $5 for the
hardware, and sell it for $20-$40).
Ron
Yes, that is correct. That is exactly what it does. Now, what is it that
the Quicknet PhoneJack cards do that these services do not do but get
the same job done? Hmmm...
That is why we want to either hack (program) the current java codecs
that dialpad uses or net2phone and make a linux plugin to handle them.
As far as the hardware of Quicknet PhoneJack, I get the impression that
it is nothing more than a specialized sound card. If java is java, then
why did dialpad tell me in writing that they don't have support for it
yet? What type of sense does that make?! Anybody feeling me on this one?
I will post their letter to me to the list.
That is next.

Re: Re[2]: [expert] My last word on Linux Telephony
Wow, this is crazy. Maybe the following will explain client - software app - ISP - Internet - Service Provider - VOIP Gateway - PSTN client = You, the linux user software app = doesn't exist properly yet (JAVA crap) ISP = well, you know Internet = duh, Service Provider = Provides billing, advertising, routing, lots of bandwith to the internet. VOIP Gateway = takes the packets from the service provider, and converts them into voice, and switches that voice world wide, via the standard PSTN Tandem Switching, usually using SS7 switching. So, the client shouldn't need to buy crap. The service provider needs to be the one who provides the client free stuff, and just puts browser banners up with girl butt or pokemon stuff, to pay for the server farm and bandwidth (anyone price an OC-12 lately?).

I just thought it more likely that a company (Mandrake, Redhat, Suse, a new startup, or all of the above) could setup a service, either paid for with very low per minute usage or via advertising.

Re: [expert] Damnit...font problem from hell
Hi Praedor, Wine should only build fonts upon running the first aplication, after initially installing or configuring Wine for the first time, or in the first new directory. It is actually building the registry based on your system fonts. In other words, if you just installed wine, and you created a new directory, and you launched wine app.exe, it will do this (takes a long time, huh?) So, if it KEEPS doing this everytime, you may not have something set right in your wine config file. Try looking at this section from my config file: ;These are all booleans. Y/y/T/t/1 are true, N/n/F/f/0 are false. ;Defaults are read all, write to Home ; Global registries (stored in /etc) "LoadGlobalRegistryFiles" = "Y" ; Home registries (stored in ~user/.wine/) "LoadHomeRegistryFiles" = "Y" ; Load Windows registries from the Windows directory "LoadWindowsRegistryFiles" = "Y" ; TRY to write all changes to home registries "WritetoHomeRegistryFiles" = "Y" ; Registry periodic save timeout in seconds ; PeriodicSave=600 ; Save only modified keys "SaveOnlyUpdatedKeys" = "Y" Make sure you say "Yes" to these, as what may be happening is that wine has to rebuild the registry every time you launch.

Sorry, I should have been more clear. The creating of a directory is just so you will have a directory to mount to. This is no different than any other form of mounting.

Re: [expert] Two LINUX OS on same computer
Hello, I have done it, and it is quite neat, but can be a little tricky. Basically, you have /boot partitions for each install (among others). In your case, Mandrake Install should do this for you, but if it does not, just follow the following steps: 1) Once the install on hdb (7.2) is complete, you will boot into the new installation. 2) Find the /boot partition in your hda (could be hda11, for example - probably find this beforehand to save time) 3) Create a temp directory to mount to (#mkdir /mnt/boot61) 4) Mount the directory (mount -t ext2 /dev/hda11 /mnt/boot61, and make sure that vmlinuz can be fount. 5) Edit lilo.conf to add a 6.1 entry, and point linux.conf to the /mnt/boot61 directory. example: boot=/dev/hda map=/boot/map install=/boot/boot.b vga=normal default=current keytable=/boot/us.klt lba32 prompt timeout=50 append="mem=256M" message=/boot/message menu-scheme=wb:bw:wb:bw image=/boot/vmlinuz-smp label=Mandrake-7.2 root=/dev/hdb11 vga=788 read-only image=/mnt/boot61/vmlinuz label=Mandrake-6.1 root=/dev/hda11 vga=788 read-only 6) run lilo (#lilo) 7) reboot and test Now, this is only from memory, and I edited the file above to somewhat reflect your question. Obviously, double-check the partions for your installation. If when you run lilo, you get any error messages at all, please let me know what they are. Also, as long as you leave the rest of lilo.conf intact, and only ADD entries, you won't hose up your system terribly. The other thing you can do, is make a boot floppy of your 6.1 before you do the install.

Re: Reloading browsers [Re: [expert] KDE 2.1 final]
No kidding, reminds me of the NT "user adjustment" that required a reboot every 45 days. Sheeez, the only adjustment a user should have to make, is to upgrade periodically as the developers squish bugs (ie this one). --- Pierre Fortin [EMAIL PROTECTED] wrote: Mark, [At the risk of starting a thread that won't die...] With all due respect, your comments really puzzle me... especially in a Linux forum... Extending your argument, why was it ever necessary to make Linux so reliable? Users could just "dump and restart" it too... Just as I hate reboots, especially unplanned ones (including power which is why all my systems are on UPSs), I too hate browser crashes/restarts. "Why"...? Because it destroys my workflow, negatively affects my thought patterns and forces a [partial] cranial restart too (lost time). Many of us have multiple browser windows open because we too are multitasking. By your argument, why bother having business meetings that build on the previous meetings; just "dump and restart" all the data, knowledge and decisions as one goes from meeting to meeting... Linux, and almost every other non-M$ OS, have over the years proven that OS crashes are unnecessary and that crash avoidance actually improves productivity; why should that not apply to applications too...? I suspect you've never had a browser crash while in the middle of a stock trade during a volatile trading day... many of us have. And NO! I don't think it is responsible of developers to expect the user to make "adjustments" just because they can't get it right. In fact, this does *not scale*... every bug or misfeature which requires user awareness, *multiply* reduces productivity, *multiply* impacts thought processes, etc. etc. We don't need, nor want unplanned application restarts any more than we want OS reboots.

Re: [expert] OT:Cookfire
Hi Cecil, I have downloaded and installed Cookfire. You are right, not too many docs or descriptions on it. I will try to describe. 1) The install It is a basic system installation, with a graphical install. You will need between 300 and 1200 MB available, and around 32M RAM. It will install a good number of packages and utilities, apache, php, perl, ssh, ssl, bastille-firewall, etc. No X-windows, so no X utilities or programs. The install will set up a root account, and admin account, and you can optionally add a user (although there is no real reason for that). The Kernel is a 2.2.18. You specify your network interfaces during the installation. It is very important that you properly identify your lan interface, and network address. 2) The configuration. It was designed to be able to install the base, and unplug keyboard and monitor, if desired. After the reboot, you just point nescape to the lan IP you provided in the install (https://192.168.0.1:8443), and go from there. Here is a large screenshot: http://www.heronet.2y.net/snapshot2.png 3) Maintenance. Everything you need to do is provided via the web interface. There is even a java applet to allow you to reach a shell command. You are provided graphic monitor info, a means to status all procs, and configure/add/del rulesets on the firewall via a php frontend to bastille-firewall. If you enable ssh, and ssh in from another location, you will be given a text menu rendition of the configuration for bastille. You can also create backup files to restore the firwall later, if necessary. 4) Problems. Port forwarding doesn't work. I had to do it by hand. Let me know if you need help with that. In fact, ipmasqadm portfw is not in the distribution I used (beta3). Also, I have some missing or misspointed links when it comes to restrict access-internet traffic. But, it can still be configured if yo play with it. Anyway, that's the long and short of it. Let me know if you have specific questions, as I would be happy to answer.

[expert] Mdk 8.0 xmms-avi and avi-file
I am had problems with installing avifile on the 8.0 distro. Avifile is needed to play avi's with the xmms-avi plugin. Here are the details of my fun-filled adventure: 1) avifile-0.6.0-0.beta4.2 gave me the following dep errors: avi-codecs is needed by avifile-0.6.0-0.beta3.1 libstdc++.so.2.10 is needed by avifile-0.6.0-0.beta3.1 qt is needed by avifile-0.6.0-0.beta3.1 2) here is what I have installed, which should cover dependencies, right? egcs-libstdc++-1.1.2-40mdk libstdc++2.10-2.96-0.44mdk libqt2-2.2.4-3mdk libqt2-devel-2.2.4-3mdk 3) Well, that's what I thought, until I looked closer and found I had to install libstdc++-2.10.0-25.i586.rpm (and devel pkg) These are not anywhere that I could find on Mdk mirrors 4) So now, only qt is a dep problem. I installed: qt-1.44-29mdk.i586.rpm (but not the dev version-it wouldn't install) 5) Now, only the avi-codecs is the problem, but I can force these, since I know I have them installed. 6) So now, avifile is working, on to the avi-xmms plugin. First, I had to upgrade my xmms - all off the cooker mirror: xmms-1.2.4-8mdk.i586.rpm xmms-arts-0.4-1mdk.i586.rpm xmms-diskwriter-1.2.4-8mdk.i586.rpm xmms-esd-1.2.4-8mdk.i586.rpm xmms-gnome-1.2.4-8mdk.i586.rpm xmms-kjofol-skins-1.2.0-1mdk.i586.rpm xmms-mesa-1.2.4-8mdk.i586.rpm xmms-mikmod-1.2.4-8mdk.i586.rpm xmms-more-vis-plugins-1.3.0-1mdk.i586.rpm xmms-more-vis-plugins-unsafe-1.3.0-1mdk.i586.rpm xmms-skins-1.0.0-7mdk.noarch.rpm xmms-smpeg-0.3.4-1mdk.i586.rpm 7) Now for the plugin! I can only find the source for avi-xmms avi-xmms-1.2.2.tar.gz from a link on the the xmms.org site. i do the ./config, and here is what I got: *** The xmms-config script installed by XMMS could not be found. *** If XMMS was installed in PREFIX, make sure PREFIX/bin is in *** your path, or set the XMMS_CONFIG environment variable to the *** full path to xmms-config. configure: error: *** XMMS = 1.2.3 not installed - please install first *** Hmmm, well, I guess that xmms-config is only installed via the xmms-devel package! None on the Mdk mirrors, so I pulled in an RH version. 8) Now, ./configure gives me: checking for r00taxx in -lr00t... no no r00t? Darn! (later learned that r00t is just a joke - funny haha) but then, it would not compile, yells about /usr/bin/ld -lxxms. Tried the version prior, 1.2.1, as well as 1.0.2. No worky. So, I checked my libxmms versions, and realized I could get a newer package. So, I put in libxmms1-1.2.4-9mdk.i586.rpm and libxmms1-devel-1.2.4-9mdk.i586.rpm Then, I tried the compile, and it worked. So, all in all, I got the feeling that I had to "grease both sides, and slide it in". My outstanding question, is on the xmms-devel not being available, and the libstdc++- not being available through Mandrake. Also, what does it take to get a Mandrake binary for avifile and avi-xmms?? Is this something I could try and send in? That is all! Ron = ^C quit :q exit ? help shit __ Do You Yahoo!? Yahoo! Auctions - Buy the things you want at great prices. http://auctions.yahoo.com/

Is linux actually running slowly? Linux does take alot of memory if it's not being used elsewhere. What Im saying is, if your machine is actually going cool, dont worry about it. Unless theres some memory leak in the 2.4 kernel. Cant verify that tho' Take care, see you soon at a GLUG meeting...

Re: [expert] help: ext2 superblock disk problems
Your partitions may have changed. Try mounting different partitions, looking for boot. # mount -t ext2 /dev/hda1 /mnt EXT2-fs: 03:0a: couldn't mount because of unsupported optional features. mount: wrong fs type, bad option, bad superblock on /dev/hda1 or too many mounted filesystems. = ^C quit :q exit ? help shit __ Do You Yahoo!?

Re: [expert] avi - what is the player called?
OOOps, I meant aktion for the kde part. And it is not included in 8.0. As for the netscape, it worked via plugger and avifile. --- Ron Heron [EMAIL PROTECTED] wrote: On 7.2, you probably used avifile, but a front end to xmms. Also, kde integrated xanim into the mix. However, on 8.0, I cannot get avifile to work, and the kde multimedia has no avi support. I was looking into it, but got frustrated and quit, hoping for an update.
