smb??
Greetings. I'm pretty new to linux. Did a clean install of 8 and I like it better than 7 except for one thing: I can't get Konqueror to browse my network using smb://machine/share. I can go into a terminal and use smbclient //machine/share and smbmount but why won't it work graphically? I haven't messed with anything and it worked fine in 7. Perfectly willing to accept Operator Error but I haven't done much that would cause an error. I've been in computers since Altair and want to get linux down to free myself from the Beast from Redmond. Thanks, Jeff

When you boot into the GRUB menu, hit "e" on the kernel you usually boot. Then find the hd?=ide-scsi and erase only that part. Use "b" to boot after you are done editing.

Re: Linux 8.0 personal or professional, What to buy?
In my opinion there is no real value-added reason for buying the 'Pro' boxed set in terms of additional software. I bought mine hoping there might be a nice Oracle or DB2 CD inside -- of the fully functional type, I mean. I also thought I would get one additional Red Hat Network entitlement. (I already have one entitlement I paid for and a second I got from buying one of the 7.x boxed sets.) No such luck on any count. I'll keep dreaming! There was also an impulse to throw money at Red Hat. So...I ended up buying the Pro boxed set and... Downloading all 6 CDs and... activating the product activation code I got, and... Playing with the DVD a bit, including an installation attempt, and... then doing all the real installation from my downloaded iso files because NFS image installs are really fast.

Added fonts appear in X, but not OpenOffice.org
Hi there. I have added some .ttf fonts to my ~/.fonts directory. All of the fonts I added show up in the gui font tool located at Menu->Preferences->Font. I can pick and choose between them for desktop fonts etc. So, I then ran OpenOffice.org's spadmin program to install the fonts for OO.o as I've done in the past. I navigated to the ~/.fonts directory where all the new fonts resided and click OK. The progress bar seemed to indicate all were imported. Now, when I run OO.o, not all of the fonts that I added appear. Some of them do, but some show up as blank entries in the alphanumerical list. If I select one of these "blank" fonts, the name of the font will appear in the drop-down box, but nothing will show on the page if I try to type with that font. Any help would be most appreciated.

GnuPG Digital Email Signatures
I notice that some of you are using digital signatures now, and I want to do that also. Is there a good getting-started document on this, especially with respect to digitally signing emails in Evolution? When I see a digitally signed mail from, say, Michael Schwendt, I'm invited to click on the "lock" icon which appears below the text of his mail. The lock opens and I get several lines of text to he effect that the authenticity of the email could not be verified because the public key isn't available. Since Michael is not including his public key in the email -- at least, Evolution shows me nothing -- I assume he (and several others) are using key servers. How can I point Evolution to the right key servers? Bob Cochran Greenbelt, Maryland, USA

As a atarting point, create it with this example entry: 127.0.0.1 localhost.localdomain localhost myhostname myhostname.rr.com It is vital that localhost resolves to 127.0.0.1 and then to its FQDN (fully qualified domain name).

Re: Sound and nForce
I consider nForce based systems to currently be NOT compatible wit Red Hat Linux. Out of the box, the video doesn't work, the sound doesn't work, and if it has the built-in nForce network card, it doesn't work either. (So far I've installed on only one nForce-based system, in text mode with an add-in nic) nVidia has some binary drivers for all of it apparently, but they are not to my knowledge compiled for gcc3.2/Red Hat Linux 8.0 yet. The audio on the nForce (what you were talking about) is apparently not *quite* a real i810, and that's why the driver loads and fails. Just like the video on the nForce isn't *quite* the same as an add-in nVidia card, which causes the system to lock up hard when the open-source "nv" driver is loaded. So IMNSHO, nForce systems currently make fine Windows boxes, but that's about it. On Fri, 2002-10-11 at 07:04, Henrik Ossipoff Hansen wrote: > Hi, > > First, I'm a very happy RedHat newbie..

A good place to start is http://www.gnupg.org/docs.html
That should help you generate a key pair, and get gnupg setup and working.
I don't use evolution, so I can't help much there. In Kmail, there is a
security option, which allows you to specify that all mail should be
signed, to define the key used for the signature, etc.

Pointing the gnupg config file at a key server should do the trick. It
works with Kmail. However, if a key isn't on the server, it can lead to
some large delays. It's generally easier to import the keys manually.

Re: Redhat 8 missing smp-kernel as stated by a bugzilla op, but a guy says something else?

Then you can attempt an upgrade, but pay attention to your bootloader configuration, as the new up kernel will likely become default. I just read through the kernel.spec file for kernel-1.4.18-14.src.rpm, and it appears you should be able to build a kernel-smp-2.4.18-14.i586.rpm by running the command: # rpmbuild --rebuild --target=i586 --with smp kernel-2.4.18-14.src.rpm If this works as expected (I'm building it now) then install and use it. -- Chris Kloiber

Re: LANG=en_US.UTF-8
Oooo, sounds good, I'll give that a try. But this will probably only fix the cursor (gpm) glitches during the no-unicode session. I think the new unicode stuff is messing with gpm 100% of the time, as my cursor in code mode is wacked. When I changed LANG to use en_US, both menuconfig and the cursor (gpm) were fixed. I think we'll have to give RedHat a few more patches before the unicode stuff is rock solid in the console.

Error -110 writing Tx descriptor to BAP
I have an IBM Thinkpad T23 with Prism 2.5-based WLAN card in one PCMCIA slot. It worked without problems with Red Hat Linux 7.2, but now with Psyche I'm seeing intermittent errors. The following is logged by the kernel: eth1: Error -110 writing Tx descriptor to BAP The messsage is repeated between 15000 and 2 times. I can usually run the system between 30 minutes and 3 hours at a time, after which the error occurs. When that happens, rebooting doesn't help.

Really wierd problem !!!!
Hello, everyone :) I realize this is going to sound like a joke, but I assure you, what I am about to tell you, I actually just saw on my desktop. I logged in to my user account and su'd into root to compile a newer version of ImageMagick. I left the terminal window iconified at the bottom of the screen and didn't think anything of it. (Remember, at this point, I had a window minimized that was su'd into root) Oh yeah, I have KDE as my default desktop, with 12 icons on it that I put there. Since I rarely log in directly into root, I never changed it's default setting from the one that you get after you install Red Hat 8, so root basically has Gnome as it's default desktop, with only the three icons on the desktop that Red Hat places there by default. Ok, here's where it gets strange: when I proceeded to close out all my windows that were open, and I got down to the desktop, I was rather suprised to see that I was looking at the root desktop! I was logged into KDE, and I was looking at a Gnome desktop. I clicked on terminal window icon in my taskbar (still KDE) and the window said I was logged in as Steve. When I clicked on the Home Directory icon on the Desktop (not the taskbar: The taskbar was KDE, the desktop was displaying as GNOME), it took me to /root, and I had all the permissions as if I was logged in as root. (By the way, by this time the terminal window that had been su'd into root was closed.) Oh yeah, the KDE menu at the bottom left was still KDE, not GNOME. When I logged out, and logged back in (into the same account that I was in when I experienced the events described above), everything was back to normal. In closing, I realize that I can run GNOME apps in KDE, and KDE apps in GNOME: that is not what we are dealing with here. I hope I described what happened clearly enough to make it clear that I was logged into KDE as a regular user, and I ended up with my root desktop, which is GNOME, with all the permissions and priveledges that root is entitled to. I'd love to report this as a bug, but I have no idea how to reproduce it. If you'd like me to report it like I described it above, please let me know.

CDs, DVDs and DMA support
let me make sure i understand the logistics behind enabling DMA support in 8.0. according to the release notes (a wealth of cool info, by the way), if you are sure that your CD-ROM drive is capable of IDE DMA, add to /etc/modules.conf the line: options ide-cd dma=1 this raises a number of questions. 1) will this work instead of adding USE_DMA=1 to the appropriate /etc/sysconfig/harddiskhdx file? or is this to be used in addition to? which leads to ... 2) the original solution works (as far as i can tell) only if the ide-cd support is a module. what happens if you recompile the kernel and build it in? is that when you switch over to using /etc/sysconfig/harddiskhdx? 3) it seems clear that, if you have not just a CD-ROM but a CD-RW, you'd add the line options ide-scsi dma=1 instead, yes? have i pretty much covered the possibilities? or have i misunderstood something badly? rday

Problems with Netscape7
I know this is not strictly a Redhat8 question, but perhaps someone has a few tips or can tell me where to send my question: I just tried to install Netscape7 on both solaris and linux, but I had a lot of problems: First of all, all of the command line options from Netscape 4.78 have been removed. You cannot set the geometry on the command line. You cannot specify -iconic on the command line, it takes forever to start up. And worst of all, it frequently hangs when I try to go to different webpages. The only work- around is kill -9 and restart. I think perhaps the non-support of the command line switches has to do with the fact that Netscape7 is not built with Motif anymore. Furthermore, it won't allow you to type in the location bar, and it won't launch the Acrobat5 plugin. I copied the Acrobat5 plugin to the plugin directory, but Netscape7 still launches Acrobat4 And, in general, the whole browser is so slow. It takes forever to do the smallest things. Has anyone else had better experience with Netscape7 on Unix? Earlier, when I had the same problems with Netscape 6.x I tried to send a detailed bugreport to Netscape, but I never heard a thing back.

You'd switch the panel or a starts-by-default terminal in the same way. Remember, switching window managers breaks the UI for most users. Many pieces of GNOME won't work anymore, the docs won't match the WM, the keybindings will be gone. There should not be a "break my UI" button. If you know about sessions and how to change the default apps in them, then great, you can choose any WM (or panel or file manager) you want. Since you need half a clue in order to deal with a new WM, you should need half a clue in order to switch to the new WM. It still takes only 5 seconds to switch. Our intent is to appropriately compromise between different kinds of users. Havoc

Talk >about complete Micro$oft here, that's exactly where it's headed. Well I'm not sure we can fault Redhat, or the other distro companies, overly much. They are, afterall, businesses that need to make money in order to stay in business. It takes money and people to keep the distros fresh and relevent, and Redhat is arguably the distro that has forwarded the Linux cause the most. However, I do not like what Redhat has done regarding the theme and the transmogrification of Gnome/KDE. I mean, come on... you boot into KDE and all the KDE apps are on the EXTRAS menu layer? Regarding Mandrake, there are a very vocal and sizable group of my fellow area Unix group that swear by it. I didn't like 8.2 myself, but I understand 9.0 is quite a bit better. I'll certainly watch it with interest. Anyway, that's my .02 Anthony

Pysche and DVD
Dear list readers - I am interested in seeing what the general community prefers for a DVD player. Being fairly new to DVD, i have a Sony Vaio laptop with a DVD-ROM installed, as evidenced by the following from dmesg: hdc: TORiSAN DVD-ROM DRD-U624, ATAPI CD/DVD-ROM drive .. (later in dmesg, some more interesting messages) hdc: ATAPI DVD-ROM drive, 256kB Cache Uniform CD-ROM driver Revision: 3.12 cdrom: This disc doesn't have any tracks I recognize! Now, from the LiViD docs, which admittedly are rather weak, and the LDP DVD-HowTo, I ran mknod and created the following devices/symlinks /dev/raw1lrwxrwxrwx1 root root 10 Oct 11 16:07 /dev/dvd -> /dev/cdrom crw-rw1 root disk 162, 0 Aug 30 19:31 /dev/rawctl crw-r--r--1 root root 162, 1 Oct 11 16:07 /dev/raw1 however i cannot get ogle, or even livid apps to work correctly as the system doesnt recognize the dvd tracks on disk in the drive. Can anyone give me any additional pointers? Whats everyone's favorite player? And how does one really get these types of devices work properly? Thanks in advance. Michael Weiner

Sendmail and sm-client boot time problem
Hi all, I just upgraded my system from RH 7.3 to RH 8.0 couple days ago. I also compiled a custom kernel (2.4.19) to be used with RH 8.0. My problem is that everytime I do a restart/reboot, during the loading of sendmail and sm-client, it will take an unusually longer time (2-3 minutes) just for both of them but that the loading process returns no error, both sendmail and sm-client give [OK] status. I am not sure if this is caused by the custom kernel or upgrading from RH 7.3 to RH 8.0 or anything else such as a particular misconfiguration. Thanks for any help provided. Alimin

yet/last problem with masquerading
Hi all
I apologize for this newbie question.
I've been reading the perfect little YoLinux's tutorial on the
http://www.iptables.org site, whose title is: "Set up an gateway for home
or office".
By so far, I have only one question yet.
I presume my script should contain these few instructions:
--- Beggining of the script
iptables -t nat -A POSTROUTING -o eth0 -j MASQUERADE
iptables -A FORWARD -i eth1 -j ACCEPT
echo 1 > /proc/sys/net/ipv4/ip_forward
route add -net 192.168.1.0 netmask 255.255.255.255.0 /
gw ${IPADDR} dev eth1
--- End of the script
This all I need to set up an access from any address within the range:
192.168.1.1 - 192.168.1.255 ( internal computers connected to the switch
), through the eth1 internal interface, and the eth0 external interface,
whose address is ${IPADDR}.
My question is:
What happens, after an existing TCP connection has been established from
the lan to an outdise server, when a need for a new connection from the
outside by the same server to a specified port ( for example auth 113 ),
on this same internal address, occurs ?
The problem is: I have only one external address, ${IPADDR}, and what
makes the incoming packet to be directed onto the right address inside the
lan ? That is, the internal address from which the initial TCP connection
was coming from ?
It might be, this kind of request for connection, could happen
simultaneously several times at a time, for different internal
addresses.
This kind of request for authentification, does occur within many
protocols. Does this way of processing masquerading the lan connections,
work in this case ?
Many thanks for your response.

The fonts are rendered by the same code in each, except > for possible changes in render options (as in Preferences->Fonts in > GNOME). > > Havoc Ok, so what I have found out since (now that I am sitting in front of the console) is that: 1. The fonts in KDE and GNOME indeed look the same when using the video card. 2. When using VNC, GNOME behaves as it does with the video card but KDE behaves differently. 3. The anti-aliasing setting in KDE has no effect when using VNC. 4. Different fonts are available under KDE when using VNC. 5. Arial Unicode Ms messes up when used with KDE and VNC (i.e. A r i a l U n i c o d e ...) Anyway, I posted some screen shots at http://naturally-me.com/snapshot1.png (without anti-aliasing) and http://naturally-me.com/snapshot2.png (with anti-aliasing). The left side is the video display, the right side is through VNC. Without aa the rendering on the video card is crude and not as pleasing as through VNC; with aa it is very fuzzy. While the difference is not really visible on a CRT running 1280x1024 it is VERY noticeable on an LCD running 1024x768. So my question should probably be rephrased to "Why does KDE use a different rendering mechanism under VNC than under video?". J.

Here's a specific example: I copy config/kernel-2.4.18-athlon-smp.config up to .config and run make clean make depend make bzImage The bzImage craps out with the following: gcc -D__KERNEL__ -I/usr/src/linux-2.4.18-14/include -Wall -Wstrict-prototypes -Wno-trigraphs -O2 -fno-strict-aliasing -fno-common -fomit-frame-pointer -pipe -mpreferred-stack-boundary=2 -march=i686 -malign-functions=4-nostdinc -I /usr/lib/gcc-lib/i386-redhat-linux/3.2/include -DKBUILD_BASENAME=adma100 -c -o adma100.o adma100.c cc1: warning: -malign-functions is obsolete, use -falign-functions adma100.c: In function `ide_init_adma100': adma100.c:21: structure has no member named `pci_dev' make[3]: *** [adma100.o] Error 1 make[3]: Leaving directory `/usr/src/linux-2.4.18-14/drivers/ide' make[2]: *** [first_rule] Error 2 make[2]: Leaving directory `/usr/src/linux-2.4.18-14/drivers/ide' make[1]: *** [_subdir_ide] Error 2 make[1]: Leaving directory `/usr/src/linux-2.4.18-14/drivers' make: *** [_dir_drivers] Error 2 Am I nuts or is this not really happening? Have others succeeded at building kernels? What do I need to do to debug this? I really want this to work :-( TIA -- -Time flies like the wind. Fruit flies like a banana.
